Please help. CD won't burn.

I've wasted a lot of CD's over the last couple of days. When I try to burn, it will write a song or two and then says canceling burn. Any suggestions?

hi Lindsey!
not exactly good news ... just found this in the Sony Connect Help:

Please help - AppleWorks won't open. The icon just bounces in the Dock.

I have been writing and saving all day on Appleworks. Now when I want to open up an Appleworks file, it won't open up. I tried clicking it from an icon on my desktop, clicking a file from my Recent Items list, and getting one from my hard drive. Nothing opens up. I tried turning off my computer and restarting it and it still will not open any Appleworks file. The Appleworks icon at the bottom bar of my computer just bounces up and down, but nothing opens up. I am able to open my iWorks Pages files without any problem. The bad thing is that I need to get my saved Appleworks files and edit them. Please help... Thanks in advance, Teachermom99

Welcome to Apple Discussions
When an application stops working as it should, it's likely due to corrupt preferences. You can follow the steps in this user tip or use the reset function of Dale Gillard's Sidekick.

Please help - iMessage won't work

So I updated my phone today like I'm sure a lot of you did and I tried going in to activate my iMessage, I've tried it for hours and even reset my phone and it won't work. I know my id and password are right and my connection to my wifi is good but every time I do it it pops up after about 30 seconds of trying and says "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"
Someone please help ... What do I do? My date & time thing is already set to on as I previously read.

If you are having trouble with SMS messages, then you would need to address that with your carrier, unless you are receiving them and just not get a notification. If you have followed the steps I gave you for iMessage and you are not receiving notifications, then check the settings for Notification Center. If you have Messages set to show on the lock screen and play a sound, and display a banner, etc. then your next step is a restore. First restore from a backup, and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. Restoring the phone will result in the loss of all data. Make sure you have backed up the phone, synced all content and imported photos to the computer.

Please help, CS3 won't run with 10.5.2! Please!

Installed 10.5.2 on my g5 dual 2.5 w 4.5 gigs ram (NOT) intel. Now my AE projects won't run. One started to and then quit. This is major for me. Involves dozens of projects. Please help.

Yes, my powerbook is also trouble-free.
But it's just too slow to run AE on.
And yes, yes, I did repair permissions. I did everything including a "safe" starup, repair permissions many many times, etc. etc. etc.
I'm beginning to think the problem with AE was with non-ae plugins. But then why did automator and software update cease to work?????

Please help me on the burning process

Hello, I got the following message after I hit burn on the iDVD
"There was an error during rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshows. Burning process aborted."
What could this be? Please help me.

I've dealt with this for the last couple days, look into the content on your imovie. If your using jpegs maybe try putting a video file before them. Make sure you have all of your updates.

Please Help--It Won't Work At All!!!

Today when I was using my iPod, the battery went completely down, to the point where I had to charge it. I plugged it into the computer, and iTunes didn't come up. So I took the USB cable out and plugged it back in. Still didn't work, so I manually brought iTunes up. My iPod is all black, and nothing works. On iTunes, it doesn't give me the option to sync my iPod. The battery is totally drained, so I can't toggle it or reset. Can someone please help me??!!??!!

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Please help - why won't my Ipod songs transfer into new Itunes?

I have a new Macbook, and want to move all the songs from my Ipod into my Itunes library on this computer. Nothing works. Can someone please help?
Please note - currently my library is on my crappy HP. But I did read that you can transfer all songs from the Ipod alone (including those not purchased from Itunes).
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)
mac book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I use an application called Senuti. That transfers all content from your iPod to your Mac, including non purchased content. It's free and easy to use. With your iPod connected to your Mac, launch Senuti and the rest is pretty simple. I would suggest you create a folder on your desktop and set your destination to that folder in the Senuti preferences. Also, it's a good idea to keep everything organized by checking the artist and album boxes in the preferences as well. Like I said, it's pretty easy. Good luck.

Please help - FCP won't export using DVCPro HD (or any HD) settings.

Please help. I'm under a tight deadline to deliver.
The native setting for both the project and footage is DVCPro HD 720p60 but when I export with this setting, or any other HD setting, whether to a Quicktime Movie or using Quicktime Conversion, the resulting image has thick black lines on both sides of the screen and in the middle.
I have Quicktime Pro and have already reinstalled FCP to make sure I have all the components. But it's still not working.
Please - any advice would help.
Thanks.

Well, have you done the usual things for when FCP doesn't act right?
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue and run it.
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Please help: iTunes won't import whole songs!

I have put my old hard drive (which contained all of my music) into my new computer, and added all the tracks into iTunes on the new computer. Unfortunately, some of the tracks cut off prematurely, even though the track shows the correct time (it just goes right to the next track instead of running completely through). Short of manually importing each CD back into iTunes, I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

Hi thanks. I have try'd installing an older version off a disk that i've got but it get a message telling me it is not possible to install an older version. Will i have to remove the current one 1st? an if so how do i do it like i said i'm a bit off a novice? do i just drag it in to the trash?
Thanks

Help: iTunes won't burn cds for me

I recently got a new laptop-- a Dell Inspiron 700m (Windows XP, Service Pack 2, etc.)-- and when I try to burn a playlist in iTunes, it says that my disc burner or software are not found. I'm able to drag and drop files onto the cd icon in my computer and burn files that way, so I know the cd burner works. And I've been able to burn songs in Windows Media Player. So what's wrong with iTunes? In Properties on my hardrive, the hardware tab recognizes my CD-RW/DVD burner drive: NEC DVD+RW ND 6650A and V386 STEALTH DVD SCSI CdRom Device are listed.
Can anyone help me? Does iTunes just not work with some cd drivers? If not, then what do I do with all my iTunes songs that won't play in Windows Media Player? Are they convertible somehow, even the ones I purchased from off the iTunes music store?
I'm so frustrated! Any help out there is much appreciated.

Hello TigerJon
I've had what appears to be the same problem as many many more people on this site, but I'm not sure if my issue is the same as yours.
For mine, the problem is Itunes hangs when I try to burn a cd.
I haven't got a complete fix, after 4 months of trying but I've got as far as I have with the help of Toonz and the people at Apple.
Now here is what I have found:
1. The problem with my Itunes hanging at burning only happens if I have a mixed playlist that I am trying to burn. When I say mixed I mean a mix of purchased tracks and uploaded tracks from my cd collection. Just uploaded tracks work fine.
2. If I just burn a playlist of purchased tracks it works fine too.
3. If I don't control alt delete when it hangs, and I wait for up to 2 minutes, the burn evenutally kicks in. Don't do anything. Just leave it and see what happens. I was having to control alt delete to get out of the unresponsive Itunes, but by chance, yesterday, discovered that by leaving it it finally burnt my cd! This was a mixed cd with both purchased tracks and uploaded tracks.
Now, the people at Apple don't yet know why this is doing this. It only happens since version 6 of Itunes. This version (I think) was the first to introduce the "checkingplaylist" stage of burning and they seem to think that it might just be something to do with that.
Anyway, that all helped me. It is still frustrating to have to wait for a couple of minutes, but it's better than nothing. They are still trying to get to the bottom of this for me, too.
I hope this helps you.
Please give me some feedback if it has, as I'd love to know that all my efforts over the last few months could help others!
Good luck
Jane

Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

Hello out there,
please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
Please, does anybody know what to do?
Any hints and help are much appreciated!
Thanks a lot
and best regards

Please Help Phone Won't Turn On!

I've had my iphone 3G since it came out and it hasn't really given me any problems. Starting Tuesday night it started doing this weird thing, the screen turns white then black and it won't go back on until it turns itself on. Sometimes this lasts longer then other times. Apple told me they would give me an appointment to go to their store. But today for some reason the phone won't go on at all. Please somebody I really need help. Thanks!

Have you tried a reset:
Page 34 of the manual:
"Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on page 131. "

Please help, project won't load

I've worked for months on this project, compiling video and photos of my son's first year. I made an awesome video, I honestly saved every 3 minutes if not more frequently. I FINALLY finshed earlier today, I went to burn it to a disc and it knocked down my whole computer and now the file won't re-load it comes up with the photos and videos in the "task bar" area on the right but doesn't show my final product. It has a red screen come up and saying Media offline. I am devistated and just don't know where to begin. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sadly... Kim

If your computer crashed, then I would see this ARTICLE, as it sounds like more is going on, than you might realize.
I think that Steve's suggestion on looking at AutoSave PREL's is a good one too, but it could well be that the AutoSaves were Saved over.
Good luck,

Apple Please Help! Fail to burn after drive replacement & OS update

I am hoping that by now, you would find a solution for this. Many of us have been complaining of a similar issue...
I bought my MacBook Pro in March 2009 from Apple, Egypt. Just afterwards there was the OS update to 10.5.6. A bit later, I started having problems with burning DVDs/CDs under Toast. I thought it was a software glitch but it kept on freezing or displaying a hardware error message. I updated to 10.5.7 and the problem still persisted. I repaired disk permissions. Nothing still worked. A bit later, it stopped burning under Finder and iTunes as it froze during burning process. Then, burning with disk utility and finder started working again. I un-installed and re-installed Toast over ten times. I even downgraded to Toast 9. Same problem persisted.
Eventually, I asked Apple to replace my Super-Drive under the warranty when it stopped burning under finder and any other burning softwares (Toast, Burn, etc).
I just got it yesterday, and the same problem with Toast persists. This means that I have No Way to burn Video DVDs or MP3 Discs with folders or Video TS DVDs.
This has been a very inconvenient problem going on since April 2009. I am pretty upset because I'm a very biased user of Apple products and always trust that Apple offers us the top shelf products and the best service. I even worked for Apple Best-Buy (Egypt) as Business Development Manager for a while so I know how the system works. But I am truly disappointed in the lack of attention given to this repeated issue.
Please! At least give us a hint of what this problem is about. Clearly, it's not a hardware issue because the newly-replaced drive is still not working with Burning softwares. Only finder, disk utility & sometimes iTunes.
I will be waiting, patiently, again... in hope to get some productive feedback and finally find a solution for this extremely inconvenient issue.

Ok guys, I've finally found a solution from Roxio. They hadn't answered back for a long time. I found this in their support forums:
"Roxio finally suggested trashing preferences which, so far, has cured the problem. Here's the crux of their instructions. Thanks for the help.
roxio said:
Please follow the Folder Paths below. Once in the Specified folder, please move the following files to the Trash Can. Once all files are move to the Trash, please follow the instrcutions below.
Folder Paths:
Macintosh HD/Library/Prefrences/
Macintosh HD/Users/(your user name)/Library/Prefrences/
Trash these below files from both folders above(if found in both):
com.BelightSoft.DiscCover2.plist
com.BelightSoft.GetBackup2.plist
com.boinx.fotomagico.plist
com.elgato.VideoPlayer.plist
com.lightcrafts.app

And any other com.Roxio.* files found. If you do not see the files in one folder, please check the other.
Now you will need to Secure Empty your Trash. Close all windows and return to your desktop, click Finder(menubar)> Secure Empty Trash and restart the computer."
I'll try this and see if it helps...

PLease help: pages won't let me save a document

My problem: I type a text, hit 'save as' , name the file and trouble starts:
A window pops up saying it is a locked document or file in use. Of course after
checking it, none of it is the case, well, theoretical yeah the file is in use as I want to save it (!!!)
Does anybody know if SL has an issue with the application of pages ?
I thought there would only be an issue with apple works in that respect.
I'm not a computer person but appreciate any help with this. I tried to save anything but it won't let me save a document at all...the same window pops up.

It might be better to post over at the Pages forum.

Please help. CD won't burn.
