Off topic: Burning problems w/ITunes 6

Anyone having problems with burning CDs in iTunes 6?
I'm only posting here because of how great you all are and how
I'm getting no where with Apple or the iTunes forum and
am exasperated.
Link to threads, consolidated, dealing with the problems:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=397479&tstart=0
Thanks

Sup Joshua,
I rummaged thru the threads very quickly. The thing that caught my eye was this:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
I know this isn't a question to ask when you're at the end of your rope, but you're certain it's not a case of bad media?
The reason I ask is I received this error many times in DVD Studio Pro 3 when burning media that was supposedly Pioneer certified (I'm linking to this so that those reading this will stay away from that garbage). My Pioneer DVR-104 would constantly burn coasters on DVDs larger than 1 GB. The issue primarily was watermarking (ie. the lack of the distinct line that you get between the burned and unburned portions. It was blurred instead.)
And, for what it's worth, I also found this issue with the Printable Memorex DVD-Rs (95% coaster rate). Oddly, the non printable discs from Memorex have never been a problem for me.
I ended up jumping thru hoops with Apple Support (restarts, new user accounts, archive & install of Panther, etc). After 4 phone calls, and talking to a product specialist, they sent me a new DVR-104. The new drive burned two of these discs fine, then coaster after coaster. That's when I made the switch to Verbatim media. No coasters since.
Forgive me if this is nothing like your scenario, but there were a lot of links and I really couldn't piece it all together very well.
Hope you get it solved.

More burning problems in itunes

i had originally posted this thread in the wrong forum(windows - oops!), so now i'm posting here.
it would seem a lot of us are currently experiencing problems with our beloved macs, and the burning issue seems to encompass many models, versions, updates, etc.
could this be the 'viral'?
see my post below:
and now for something completely different,
i am having similar problems but only when using my external writer (an lg gsa4167b). i've wasted about 15 discs so far, and have been able to isolate it to audio quality (aiff) burns only. itunes will burn an mp3 disc without issue.
and my internal drive (i installed a benq into my emac) works flawlessly in any format.
i am using patchburn 4.0 to install the drive support file (for both writers).
the hang starts just after checking the playlist and the screen indicates burn initialization; and then nothing. conveniently it burns just enough info to toast the disc, as i have to manually turn off the drive to cancel the operation and allow itunes to quit.
while parts of this issue seem to be hardware related, and as i did not own the drive prior to installing 10.4.4 and upgrading to itunes 6.0.2, it seems odd that the drive works flawlessly burning anything and everything else. i can even burn dvds without issue, and disk copy(disk utility) works fine too.
are there any other mac users having the same issue?
any help would be great.

Sure there are some missing fields depending on what kind of music you own, but ranting/posting in here isn't going to get it added.

A lot of burning problems with ITunes 6.. Where Can I Get ITunes 4 back?

Hello!
Few weeks ago I've installed ITunes 6 on my new pc.
At this point of time I could burn CDs, but the soundcheck didn't work. I've inserted a blanc disc and selected the playlist. But then the Burn- Button didn't get yellow. So I clicked on it and the CD was directly burned without aligning the volumes of the songs..
The second problem occured today. I've reinstalled iTunes 6 and now the message 'disc recorder not found' appears each time, when I wanna burn a disc.
What does It Mean?
Is It possible to switch back to iTunes 4. There I hadn't any problems..
[sorry my english is not soo good]

Burning problems in iTunes

Hi, i upgrade my iMac to Mac OS X Lion and obviously iTunes too, but the problem is that i just can't burn CD's in iTunes.... So somebody may help in this. Thanks

hmmmmm. i'm proceeding under the assumption that you've got a Dell 5150/E510. if i'm wrong about that, please check in with Dell to confirm your model prior to applying any updates.
i had a look at the support site for your model (or at least, what i'm assuming your model is). your firmware appears to be up to date for the HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B that you're getting the error on, but there does seem to be newer firmware available for the SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615. so it might be worth getting that, just in case there some kind of odd interaction happening between the drives.
Dimension 5150/E510
otherwise, we'd better check on some of the other usual suspects with this sort of thing:
iTunes for Windows doesn't recognize my audio CDs
... and these resources might be helpful with that:

Burner Problems on iTunes

Hi,
I usually burn CD's through iTunes. For some reason today my laptop isn't allowing this!
When I go to burn a CD through iTunes, the error message "The disc burner is in use outside iTunes now" appears.
I have never seen this message before, and iTunes is the only disc burner open.
Would be grateful if anyone can shed any light on this!
Thanks,
Michelle

Device filter Problems, can't burn cds in iTunes, Blank CDs appear to have

Problem was first noticed because I can't burn CDs in iTunes.
The problem is that all blank CDs show that they have no space on them available. If I look at the properties of a blank CD, they show 0 bytes used, 0 bytes free and 0 bytes available.
By removing the upperfilters and lowerfilters in the registry, (accoring to the Microsoft prescribed method for this problem found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060) the problem is solved for my whole sytem except for iTunes. iTunes then tells me that "the registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. ... Please reinstall iTunes."
I reinstall or repair iTunes and then iTunes opens fine but I can't burn with iTunes or any other program since I am back to all blank CDs showing there is no space available.
The iTunes toubleshooting Fac found at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976 has been tried also and does not change the problem of blank CDs having no space available.
Here are the cd diagnostics: (Run with my whole system working except iTunes burner)

Same problem here!!! This is driving me crazy. Glad to see it isn't me not knowing what I am doing when a couple of months ago I had no problems now as of last night after trying to burn to a CD I had the exact same issue.

Help! Having a problem getting music off of ipod onto new itunes

My old laptop had a itunes downloaded on it, but I recently got a new laptop and i just downloaded itunes onto the new laptop. The problem I am facing is that I can not figure out how to get the music i already have on my ipod onto the itunes i just downloaded. HELP

You are having problems because iTunes is not designed to work that way. Syncing is one way, computer to device. Copy the whole iTunes folder from your old laptop or your backup (you do have one, don't you?) to the same location on the new one. If you no longer have the old laptop you will have to use third party software to copy just media files, then rebuild all yoru playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. by hand.
Any items you purchased from Apple can be downloaded to iTunes from the iTunes store again, if that feature is available in your ocuntry.

Problem using iTunes

I have seen multiple topics about this error:
"iTunes could not connect to the music store. The connection was refused."
I have tried all of the advice people have given in these other topics, but I still can't get iTunes to work.
Someone help, please?
Dell Windows XP Pro

I don't know if this will help, but this fixed the problem for a user in a previous thread:
Turn NIS Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related and reboot the computer.
After coming back on go back to NIS Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, SELCECT A PROGRAM window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time: (these were in a folder labeled itunes for me) iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe and (in a folder labeled Quicktime for me) QuicktimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. Click OK. Turn NIS Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
(thanks to bbecker for the details)
Don't forget that you may have to do something similar for the built-in Windows XP firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Strange Noise on Burned Cd from Itunes

I have had itunes for well over a year now, and have never had a problem like this so far.
It seems just lately, in the past 3 weeks, when I make an audio cd with purchased itunes music, there is a strange noise on random tracks when I play the cd in my car.
I have always purchased albums off itunes store, and then created a playlists of them and burned discs using itunes. It has always worked perfectly. It is also my way of backing up my music.
I bought 3 albums in the past 3 weeks- Every song plays fine on itunes, and on my ipod, but when I burn the songs onto a disc and play it in my car, the song will start playing normally, and then at random times in the songs a loud obnoxious noise blasts through my speakers and scares the crap out of me, but only for a second, then it continues playing normally. It seems to be only random tracks too. The first cd I made, it was tracks 2, 6, and 12. Then I just bought another album, and burned it to disc, and same thing, only different tracks this time, 4, 5, and 10. It's completely random and there is nothing wrong with the discs I am using. I can't for the life of me think of what could be wrong.
Anyone having a similar issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Renee

Hi I'm having the same problem here. I've been using iTunes for ages now. Very strange. I've tried burning via another CR Rwiter but still the same strange noise and on different places. Lookst like a software bug to me. Anybody got lucky solving this?

HELP please!! 3 problems w/ iTunes

I currently have[B] iTunes10.2.2.12[/B] installed on a dinosaur of a [B]Dell[/B] (getting an [B]2011 iMac[/B]).
Anyways,
Problem #1 75-80% of the time the Cover Flow of album art either is a solid black window saying
iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer
or the window is missing and you just see the window or desktop underneath in that cover flow area. Also, the same happens in Safari for Windows 5.05 (7533.21.1) with the bookmark pages cover flow
Problem #2:
This is more serious since it affects functionality and not ascetics. That being that my video podcasts 9/10 times do not show I only get audio. I subscribe to the Apple Keynote Podcasts and want to show a relative a part of the iPad2 Keynote with the video of the iPad uses including the autistic child and how it is being used in the medical field, etc.
Can anyone please help me to resolve these problems especially the video podcast problem? I do not get any type of error message with the podcast it just plays audio.
Problem #3:
I'm having problem with iTunes Music Files playing correctly. For some time I have been noticing that for several songs when I play start playing a particular song in the middle of the song it jumps to playing in the middle of another song. The title of the song remains the original one I started initially. Sometimes they jump back and forth from song to song. Also some of the songs jump between 3 songs.
Now this is not random. It is always the same initial songs. I thought maybe it was my computer being old. However, when I play one of the initial songs that do this on my iPhone it does the same thing and jumping back and forth from the same songs.
It looks like something happened when the song was encoded on iTunes. The songs that do this are ones I burned off CDs.
I also thought maybe a scratched CD caused this but it happened tonight with a song from a new CD I recently burned.
Also note this happens with several songs from several CDs but each instance the songs involved in the jumping back and forth are from the same CD.
I'm going to be getting a 27"iMac soon so maybe even though I hate to perhaps on the new machine I should manually burn my CDs and just transfer my albums and songs downloaded from iTunes.
How can I make sure this doesn't happen on the iMac?

That being that my video podcasts 9/10 times do not show I only get audio.
Could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing there, Robby? (You can use the wee camera icon at the top of a reply to insert an image file into a post.)

Is anybody else having problems with itunes (10.6.3.25) and ipod touch (5.1.1)?

Lately I've been having a ton of problems with iTunes and my iPod Touch (4th generation). Lots of error messages such as can't connect to itunes store, incompatible application, ipod detected but not identifiable, invalid response received from device, unknown errors [mostly (0xE8000001)], problem with audio configuration, etc. I've done everything I could think of. Uninstalling iTunes (with all the components) then reinstalling with the newest version (10.6.3.25), running diagnostics and such. If it does appear (about 2% of the time) then iTunes freezes and/or it won't sync. I also try to change some info (song title, artist, artwork, etc)(when it DOES come up) and it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod. My ipod appears on my computer but not in iTunes under devices like its supposed to. I've been to all the support threads I can possibly find and NOTHING has helped. I also had the latest version for the ipod touch (5.1.1). And I've never had any issues with iTunes or my iPod touch before. I know I should probably try restoring my ipod but I absolutely do not want to do that unless I have to because i have a lot of music, apps, movies, etc I'm not able to back up. Also, I'm using a Windows 7 computer. Please Please help if you can, I am frustrated because I can't do anything.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

Problems with iTunes/ipad2 I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

Problems with iTunes/ipad2 I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
Issue 1: iTunes Match
Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!
No aftermarket apps on iphone 5s

Problems with iTunes syncing with Apple TV 1st gen

all of a sudden today I am having problems with itunes 10.6.1 syncing with apple TV gen 1. Everything was fine when I upgraded itunes and iphoto 11.
Today the apple TV shows up in devices but when I try to sunc it manually (it won't start autmatically even though it is supposed to,
I get a message
If you try to sync content your Apple TV (1st generation), this alert appears in iTunes: "The Apple TV '(Your Apple TV's name)' is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
My firewall is turned off. I operate Lion on my laptop
Please help. seems like I had this issue before but do not remember what caused this and how it was resolved

I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
Infuriating.
Any ideas?

How do I turn off timecode burn in

I'm up to page 140 of the manual, methodically working my way through Premiere, and tried Timecode burn in. Worked well. But how do I turn it off? No explanaiton anywhere in the manual or online as far as I can find.
This timecode thing has got me confused. My GH2 hasn't got timecode as far as I'm aware. Yet timecode is appearing all over the place in Premiere. On p141 of the manual it states: "If you have the Source panel selected, the Timecode panel will display source timecode." Well, I didn't think my source had timecode, but timecode is being displayed. Why?
I'm now up to page 144, and a similar problem has appeared with In and Out points. I can set them in the Project Window, and a yellow bar appears on the clip icon, and a green bar in the Source Window, showing the extent of the In/Out setup. I can delete the In/Out setup by Control-clicking on the green bar, and then the yellow bar also disappears. That's all okay. But I can't work out how to delete the In/Out points in the Icon in the Project Window from within the Icon, the place I originally set them up.

...tried Timecode burn in. Worked well. But how do I turn it off?
Timecode burn-in is an effect applied in the Timeline in order to
display clip (or sequence) timecode within the video preview of the clip.
To turn off timecode burn-in, you disable or delete the effect.
View timecode as a burn-in
"If you have the Source panel selected, the Timecode panel
will display source timecode." Well, I didn't think my source
had timecode, but timecode is being displayed. Why?
The 'Timecode Panel' is different from a timecode burn-in.
The panel can be activated by checking it in the 'Window' menu.
Your source clip's timecode will be displayed in the timecode window
whle the Source Monitor is selected or playing.
If the clip has no embedded timecode,
the counter will assume that the clip begins @00:00:00:00.
View timecode in the Timecode panel (CS6)
