Playlist won't copy onto a CD! Why?

I hate the new iTunes. Now I can't get a playlist to copy onto a CD. It says it's recording but when it's finished and I try to play it there are no songs there!

Update. Well, I still hate the new iTunes but I've discovered it's my CD player that has stopped working! No CD's will play on it now!

  • When I sync up my HD videos won't transfer onto my IPOD- Why? How can I fix this?

    I have an IPod Classic... I'm trying to sync up my HD videos- tv shows but they won't transfer onto my IPOD. Anyone know why?

    Ok so HD video is not supported, which explains the problem so what is the solution?  Do I have to put it through a converter to make the data and bit rate smaller? Would that even be possible?

  • HT1386 Selected music/playlists won't sync onto iPhone 4, causes "canceling sync".

    So I just updated my iOS to 7.0.4, my iTunes to 11.1.3, and I did a factory restore, then put all my backed up data back onto my iPhone 4 (almost 2 years old). My music has always given me a bit of a hard time, but it wa smainly because I dislike using iCloud and sharing options. I just want to put the songs from 1 playlist onto my phone, that's it. So I disabled iCloud options and sharing options, went to sync my phone, and now none of my music is being put onto my phone. My iPhone is only 8GB, so it's very limited. But I have over 2.5 GB of space when no music is put on, and my one playlist is only 1.98 GB of songs. Everything else syncs fine on my phone, apps, ringtones, account info. It's JUST the music. It'll sync about 7-8 songs, then stay in "Canceling sync" mode until I get out of it (usually by quiting or applying the "unslected" sync music option). I use my iPhoen for calling, texting, email, instagram, and music. It's a BIG thing that I can't use it for music atm. I need help. I have checked every other forum about this, every option given has not helped me. I have reset, restarted, restored, deleted, resynced, and tried practically everything! I need help to fix this. I'm not sure if it's an iOS 7 problem, iTunes 11.1.3, the music app, the songs themselves. But I'd appreciate anyone helping me to narrow it down. I know enough to get by technology wise, but I'm very basic and need thinsg explained in details. Like don't just say "Reroute x to y, and you'll be fine". Give me steps to follow, I will try them and give feedback on whether or not they worked. As well, here are screenshots of the songs as they're attempting to sync, so you can see the problems.

    Looks like its a software issue with the latest Itunes patch. I see several people are reporting this problem on the page and yet no solutions currently exist to address it. I tried several possiblities myself with no success. The only remaining solutions I can see are to "reset" your device and try to sync all appropriate apps, music, photos, etc.. once again. Two wait for the next patch, or three to attempt a recovery from a previous back up on your computer.
    I do not have the time currently to attempt the ones I can do. If anyone wishes to try and can report a success I think many of us would appreciate it.

  • I have a playlist on my nano currently. My computer had to be rebooted and now the playlist won't sink onto my computer. I just downloaded over 50 songs and they won't load onto my ipod either.

    the computer/itunes says it is syncing but it only takes a few seconds and nothing happens. I don't have a clue what to do. I want to play the new songs. the old songs i don't care about as much but i should be able to save and sync both lists together on my ipod. please please help me

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • SONGS WON'T COPY TO IPOD

    For the first time (I've had iTunes and an iPod for a long time), I'm getting an error message when I sync my iPod that says that "[s]ome of the items in the iTunes library...were not copied to [my iPod] because you are not authorized to play them on this computer."
    Umm, what the f---? Why is this happening?
    There are 103 songs that won't copy, and at first glance it appears that the first 103 songs I ever purchased are the very 103 that won't copy onto my iPod.
    Anyone have any ideas about what is going on here? I am reasonably sure that I haven't copied all 103 of these songs to disc 5 times, or whatever the limit is.
    Thanks in advance to all who answer.

    b noir:
    your initial reply, which at first seemed promising, has now taken me to a whole other level of difficulty. allow me to elaborate.
    1) i have attempted to play one of the aforementioned purchased songs in my itunes library, per your advice (not on my ipod, but on my imac). upon doing so, i get the error message:
    "This computer is not authorized to play "______." Would you like to authorize it? The message box displays the Apple ID and asks me for the password.
    2) all well and fine, except that the email address which displays in the message box as my Apple ID is old and obsolete--way obsolete. So of course, if I enter my present password, it will not match this old ID.
    3) i attempted to change this old ID to my present ID. when I did so, my present ID, which DOES match my present password (and, thus, which i DON'T want to change), showed up as the ID to change.
    4) what do i do? at this point i'm stuck.

    I think the most probable cause for this is that your iTunes is not authorized to play songs that is brought from the store. If this is the case go to Store>Sign In and login with your Apple ID and password. Then it should be able to sync. If you want to check how many computer is authorized with the account of the songs that won't sync to your iPod, you have to go to the iTunes Store -- sign in first. Click on your Apple ID, there is a popup asking for your password. After you done that, there is a row called "Computer Authorizations." If there are 5 computer that might mean that you can't authorize anymore computers and it might be the reason why you can't sync. I am not sure how you can deauthorize all the computers now after 7.0.1. There is a way on 6.0.5 but it is gone.

  • TS1362 My blank cd says 80 min. or 700 MB. Playlist in Itunes says 1.6 hrs., 213 MB.  It won't burn, itunes says it won't fit onto cd.  What's up with this?

    I don't understand why itunes won't burn my playlist to a blank CD.  CD-R says 80 min, or 700 MB.  Playlist shows 176 MB, 25 songs, 1.3 hrs.  I don't understand why it won't fit onto one CD.

    If you are burning an audio CD, use the time/length of the playlist.
    If you are burning and MP3/data CD, use teh size (MB) of the playlist.
    Note that there needs to be room for directories and other info on teh disc which will nto be displayed in teh size of the playlist.
    The disc may hold 80 minutes but a playlist of 80 minutes will not fit.
    Usually, you can get ~70 minutes max.

  • How do I select a playlist to copy onto my devices?  On the older version, I could click on each list, then check "sync only checked playlists" and I'd have different playlists on different devices.  How do I do it with this version?  Thank you!

    How in 12.1.0.50 can I select a playlist to copy onto my devices from my iMac?  On the older version, I could click on each list, then check "sync only checked playlists" and I'd have different playlists on different devices (iPhone 6, iPod nano).  How do I do it with this version?  Thank you!

    Same way.
    Select the device, click Music tab and select the playlists to sync.

  • Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

    Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.

  • I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up.

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up. Is there anyway that I could get my videos to appear in my playlist? They are still in my ipod in the video section, but just won't appear in my playlist.

    iOS6 problems aplenty ....not sure if the link I inserted is working or not, but the issue is a lot more prevalent - the issue being that what shows up & plays in iTunes after the iOS6 update is not what shows up (& plays) on the device itself. This may go beyond just the iPod Touch as well.
    In my case I can see & play both audio & video files in my Playlist through iTunes, but can only see the Playlists on the iPod Touch with ALL of them being empty. Syncing numerous times no help. Contacting Apple Tech. Support no help - they suggested downloading my Purchases from the iTunes Store - waste of time, did not make a difference. It is clear Apple needs to release a fix to OS6.
    Another problem I noticed on the device is that the Shuffle option is hidden on the built-in Songs Playlist, having to swipe the screen down to see it - dumb dumb dumb.

  • Why is the file copied onto my external bigger?

    Hope someone has an answer for this because its kind of bugging the crap out of me. I recently took my G5 Quad in for a repair and of course backed everything up and removed all personal info from the G5(call me paranoid). I noticed something odd, I had 305.75gb of photos that I copied onto my external but it shows up as 306.96gb. Like I said Im paranoid so I wrote down the number of files in that folder and the the desktop and external both note the same number of files.
    Anyone else bugged by this or is it just me. <Edited by Moderator> ...any information would be great its just really bugging me.

    Files take up more space on a larger drive because the drive space is divided into blocks, and if even a byte of a block is used, the block as a whole is considered used. Larger drives have larger blocks.

  • Songs vids from playlists won't load

    I'm having a lot of trouble getting files from playlists in itunes onto my nano. I've reset, restored, reinstalled itunes, restarted, all of this multiple times. The battery seems good. When I click on the ipod icon in itunes and check summary(that all looks good-I've tried using manual and select only checked options several times) then I go to music not all of the playlists I've created in itunes show and in addition only the files originally put there will load. That is if I try to add other songs etc. to the playlist they won't go-only the original few songs will go. I have a Touch and even with that I still have the same trouble with playlists.

    I a currently downloading some playlists so I wonder if this is why they are disappearing! I am running Lollipop 5.0

  • How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • My music won't download onto my phone ever since I got ios7

    I have a bunch of song i just got from the internet and they're in my library on itunes but won't sync onto my phone. I've tried syncing my phone about 7 times now and nothings changing.

    I'm having the same issue. Went out and bought 6 CD's only to find that Itunes and/or iOS7 was too full of issues to be able to sync them onto my phone. Been trying for a week, converted the albums to AAC files, tried importing them directly to my phone, reset my music library. All in all i think it's safe to say that I'm not sure why i expected iTunes to actually work in the first place :/
