Problem burning songs I've purchased

I've purchased an album from itunes. I'm trying to burn a cd using Nero 7 and when I drag the songs into the compilation window it want do it. I get an error saying it can't copy song. Is there some type of protection preventing me from doing this?
I tried burning them using itunes but the disk wasn't readable on a car player.
THanks,
rut

Hey Rut,
I am having the same problem. I get a small error window and when I click on the window it reads unable to burn purchased music from ITUNES...go figure. When I click on the type file in settings it reads files are protected. I asked the same question as you a few days ago and I have not received any feedback. Good luck!

  • Problem burning song mix with start/stop times

    I'm trying to create a mix, and two of the songs in the mix are set to use only a small portion of each song. I've changed the gap to none and set all songs to gapless...but when I burn the disc, these two songs are burning with 6 seconds, as opposed to the 3.01 and .5 seconds I set in my playlist. Thoughts?

    I tried that, but it didn't take of the issue. The two songs I'm having problems with were in an unprotected format, but even after converting, it's still burning :06 seconds. It's really not burning the additional time of the songs...it's burning blank air. So when I playback the CD, I only hear the portion of the song I'm looking for, but there is dead space between the songs, even though I have gapless selected on each song.

    If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
    if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

  • HT4306 Why does the ping icon show next to some songs that I purchase and prevent me from burning onto a CD for my own personal use?

    Hi. I am having trouble burning songs that I have purchased from the itunes store onto a CD for my own personal use in my car. Why is the ping icon next to some of the songs I purchase,When I try to burn these songs I am told by a pop up that these songs can't be found, but they are in my itunes music list.I don't understand. Please advise me asap. hx Wendy159

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Problems with burning songs onto a cd.

    My problem is when i try to burn songs onto a cd i put in the blank cd and press the burn button but a few seconds later it tells me that the cd in not blank when i know its blank. So does anyone know how to fix this.

    Theres afew things you can do, It could be the blank is damaged, try another one. Update the firmware for your Burner. iTunes seems to be extremly picky about burning compared to other Windows programs atleast

  • Burning MP3 disks from purchased iTunes Store songs

    Making MP3 disks from songs I have purchased from the iTunes Store is pretty inconvenient: first I have to make a Music CD, then I have to reimport the files as MP3s, then, finally, I can make an MP3 disk. Is there something I'm missing? I wish it was easier.

    Buy the iTunes Plus tracks & those can be directly converted to mp3. Also, if you need mp3 tracks, you might want to take a look at Amazon.com's download service which offers unprotected mp3's at a higher bitrate.

  • I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there.  What could be happening?  What am I doing wrong?

    I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists.  Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist.  I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it.  I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
    Here's that thread...

  • How to burn songs from one itunes account to import into a new itunes acct

    I have set up seperate playlists for my children under my itunes account. However, my son is now older and receiving itunes gift cards and we want to set up his own itunes account but don't want to loose the songs we have purchased for him under my itunes account. We want these songs to still be available for him to sync to his ipod so we think we need to burn the songs to a disk so they can then be imported into his new itunes account. He doesn't want to loose track of his itunes money nor do I want him to be able to purchase songs using my itunes acct credit card info without my knowledge, therefore, we think we need to set up a new itunes account for his personal use. Any guidance would be appreciated!

    Not necessary. If you want to copy song files to a new computer, copy them to a USB flash drive, and then from the flash drive to the new computer.

    He should definitely have his own iTunes library, be it on the shared computer or on his own computer. As for a separate account in the iTunes Store, that is really up to you, depending how the family shares.

  • Itunes locks up computer when I try to burn songs in itunes

    i had to have this imac's original optical cd burner replaced with a  MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-85J: at an authorized apple location due to it would not eject discs. 
    I also had them replace the HD with a new  WDC WD10EALX-009BA0  1TB drive plus the increased the RAM to 3 GB. 
    now when i tried to burn songs in itunes  v 10.6.8  to a CD-R disc it goes thru the motions like it is going to start the burn process but ends up freezing my computer and I have to reboot without any disc being burned!??   It freezes each time I tried using itunes to burn songs. 
    I was also getting an error message saying some of the songs were not authorized on this computer but when I go to authorize this computer it says it is already authorized as well as 3 others out of 5 possible.
    This imac has been used by all of us but since replacing the HD & CD drive mainly my daughter and my wife plug their iphones and ipad2 to it.  We all have iphones and an ipad2 but only my wife and daughter hook those items up to this computer as I have two other macs I use to connect my iphone to so have not tried to hook to this imac since the new hardware was installed. 
    My daughter was the 1st one to hook her iphone up to this imac and itunes now shows her name at the top of the itunes window when open.  I assume her name was transferred to this computer via her iphone.  Does that matter if my wife hooks her ipad2 and iphone up to this computer too? 
    Why would the computer lock up when trying to burn a music disc? 
    Thanks
    Bob 

    I run Win 7 64 bit, there are no compatibility problem.
    Give us your specs, also any information about what happened to you, and we'd at least have a fighting chance to sort things out.
    Now, we've got no clue as to what went wrong.

  • Hard drive crashed- is there any way to burn songs from an ipod?

    hi mac geniuses. my HD crashed. there is a pearl jam concert that i downloaded from their website after i went to the concert. the concert is not available for download any longer. is there any way to burn songs or transfer songs from an ipod so i don't lose this music?? as soon as i plug in my ipod to my 'new' computer, it will be wiped. thanks!

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files (purchased and non purchased) and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
