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

  • Problems with loading songs onto ipod colour 20gb

    Hi,
    I'm having problems connecting an ipod 20gb colour to a mac G5, the ipod connects up and shows in itunes fine, however after every 2 songs transfer it says 'Attempting to connect to ipod, cannot be written to or read'
    Any suggestions please?
    Thanks

    Well, I changed my iPod settings to manual and was able to get almost everything on there. I did it an artist at a time using the browse menu so it took a good bit of time... but now I have music and an audiobook for my road trip!
    It was strange. It seemes there are only two songs in my library that are simply refusing to transfer. The rest of that album will transfer perfectly and it was ripped all at once. I'm not sure what kind of bugs are going on, but at least I have music in my pocket again.

  • I just downloaded itunes onto my new laptop and I am trying to burn songs onto a cd that I had purchased previously and I am getting an error message that states I must authorize this computer. What does that mean?

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • Problems with some songs in iTunes (and my iPod)

    Hi,
    I do not know whether this is the right category for my problem, but I did not find a suitable one.
    I have problems with some songs in iTunes. They do not sound right. It is hard to me to describe my problem in English (thanks to apple's "great" support...I was not able to contact them personally except by phone). The songs "hang", they sound like someone reels (?) it. The problem does not only appear with iTunes but also with my iPod nano first generation.
    My godmother brang me CDs where that problems appear (but not the whole CDs have that problem, only a few songs) from the USA - I live in Germany. Maybe that is cause of the error. But I cannot imagine that, because CDs there and here have the same format and I have several CDs from the US where is no problem at all. I am absolutely sure that the CDs are originals and not a copy, by the way.
    Maybe you can help me, it would be great!
    Thanks,
    Jule

    Yes, I thought that's what Restore should do, but the problems remain.  Hmmm, the out of order 'album's' songlist is notated 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8...  I'll try 01, 02...
    Probably a good idea.
    The other album is running through the list of songs like fast-forward, but not playing the songs.  Then, iPod locks up.
    Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes?  What is the original source for these tracks?  Were they downloads from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes?  What format are they encoded in and at what bitrate?

  • Problems with playing songs in iTunes

    as the subject says. I have som problems with playing songs. not everyone just a some..
    If we take for example that a song is 8min. then at 1.40 it just stops and goes to the next one. I can jump over it with pressing in the middle for example. it plays. as normal. UNTIL. 3 mins. then the same problems appear. I don't really understand how. just between 1.40-1.50 iTunes thinks that the song is finished. I know my english isn't so good but cuz there is no swedish support. I have to write here. any answers would be good

    I'm having a similar problem.
    Every now and then, a track from a ripped CD or from iTunes or from eMusic will "look" OK in iTunes (or on my iPod), but when the track plays, it gets partially through and it jumps to the next track in the playlist.
    For example, if playback of track 1 pauses and jumps to track 2 at 1:30 into playback of track 1, & I click on 1:31 or later in track 1, the rest of track 1 will play fine. But if the playback of track 1 starts at the before the "skip point," the track will stop & iTunes (or iPod) goes on to the next track in the playlist. If I locate the file (on my external drive) and play it in the finder, there's always buzzing sound at the point where the iTunes jumps to the next track.
    For ripped CD's this is not a huge deal, I just re-rip & usually all is well. With eMusic, I can download again, but with iTunes, I have to file a complaint & so far they've just credited my account, which is OK, but time consuming.
    At first I thought the problem was with my optical drive, but then the problem started happening with downloads from iTunes and eMusic as well. NONE of these shenanigans happened before I upgraded to iTunes 7.6, so I'm wondering if that's where the problem is. One thing's for sure: I'm not going to "jump" at the next upgrade of iTunes!
    I'm totally stumped & bummed. iTunes used to be a really good friend, now I find myself wondering if I should bother with putting my entire CD collection on iTunes if it's no longer as reliable as it used to be.

  • Problem with burning DVD's

    I have Roxio Toast Titanium and I have a problem with burning DVD's. When I put a blank DVD-R in my superdrive, select the files and go to burn; the advanced recording options will not let me deselect the check in "close disk". It is shaded. But when I use a CD-RW I can and so far the Roxio help has...well has not been help at all. I mean why would I spend the money to buy a software package that lets me do the same thing as the basic OS-X disk utility would let me do? Drag a file, burn it and close the disk from any future use....
    Sorry if this does not belong here, I did not see a area for general software questions way back in the main forum area not one here.

    Donald,
    Hi and thank you.
    To give you more details on what I am trying to do; I am trying to burn in Mac & PC format. I am mainly trying to back up all my assorted college files (I am a college student), these files are lecture notes in Word with embedded audio recordings, standard Word documents such as essays, etc., spreadsheets, PDF documents, etc. The files I am attempting to burn should not be larger than 4.7 gb and Roxio has not given me a warning that it would be.
    I am just frustrated that when I put in a DVD-R or -RW I only have one option, and that is to close out the disk when it is finished burning it. I have also gone to the recording tab, on the menue bar, to uncheck the "close disk" box after I put in a blank DVD and before I select files to burn. The option is shadded preventing me from even trying, which is not the case for a CD!
    Thank you!

  • Problem with certain songs and ipod corrupting itself

    my 4g ipod has some serious problems with some songs, almost exclusively by bands with "S" names (something corporate, saves the day, and snow patrol off the top of my head - and I doubt it matters anyways). It will either play the first few seconds of the song or won't play it at all before it skips to the next track. I've tried converting the offending tracks/cd's to AAC with little success. While the song is trying to play the hard drive is clicking/vibrating/working at a rapid pace. I know this isn't a good thing at all, and there probably isn't a way to fix it, but if someone can fill me in with any info, it would be appreciated, as it's starting to happen to more and more songs.
    Also, it corrupts itself about once a week and I have to restore and reload all my songs. This isn't a huge issue because I don't keep anything exclusively on the ipod but it is annoying.
    Any advice, insight, or pity is appreciated.

    it's now corrupting itself every time I plug it into my computer. I fear it may be a goner. Lasted a little less than 18 months.

  • Problem with putting music onto my iPod

Theres no problem with my USB ports as I,ve tested them with other MP3 players and theres also nothing wrong with my cable as it shows up on my PC as connected. I,ve also resetted it! I just don't understand whats wrong with it I also have it fully charged when I'm trying to put the songs onto it.

  • When burning song onto a CD, the song is correct, however song label is not

    I burned a single song from iTunes onto a CD for my nephew. When I got to their house and input the CD into their computer, the song title and information was for a completely different song of mine. I was worried I had burned the wrong song. After playing the CD we realized it was the right song, but the wrong label. I am concerned that this might apply to many songs. I will next burn a bunch of songs onto a CD to validate if it happens again. Has anyone had this happen before? Is there any suggested corrections? Between this and my iPhoto exclamation thumbnails appearing I have become very irritated of late with Apple.

    How did you get the song title to show up? The songs I have are original, not something purchased and I'd like them to show up (rather than Track 1 or 2, etc). If I try and send them to Apple I get the "these songs don't exist we can't sell these songs so you can't name the tracks" message. Also, whenever I title the CD with "compliation" or "My songs" or "whatever" when it launches, it's called "AUDIO CD." But I can name data? Why is this?

  • Problems with itunes songs to import to CD

    I am having problems with my iTunes songs. I want to import my songs that I brought (downloaded) to a cd, but I'm having a problem doing that. It started downloading maybe 1-3 songs then a message pops up saying "Downloading Error--Access denied" and my cd pops out. This has been happening once and a while. Last time I had no problems when I saved my songs to back up. Now that I have a lot of new songs, I want to save them incase something happens. I can't figure out why this is happening. Does anyone know what is going on with my iTunes songs?

    If I understand you correctly that you're trying to burn a CD from iTunes, you might want to repost in the Importing and Burning in iTunes forum. Your issue may be more likely to be seen by someone with insight into this issue there.
    When you repost, be sure to include details such as your version of iTunes, how you're burning the disk (using the iTunes backup feature or via some other method), what brand and type of CD you're using and whether that brand and type has worked for you in the past, etc. You also probably want to make it clear that you're burning to CD; "import" to most people will mean that you're trying to get tracks into iTunes from a CD.

  • Having problems with burning - need help please!

    when I try and burn a disk itunes says no recording
    software found. Everytime I start up itunes it says the drivers associated with burning are missing. It ask me to
    reinstall the software which I do and I have the same
    problem. I have other burning software but cant burn any
    itunes Ive purchased do to the format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    The german note is:
    Achtung
    Die Registrierungseinträge für die iTunes Treiber zum Import und Brennen von CDs und DVDs fehlen. Diese kann Folge der Installation einer anderen Software zum Brennen von CDs sein. Bitte installieren sie iTunes erneut.
    Could anybody please help me??

    I need more information about your hardware configuration. Run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD Diagnostics... command and post the results here.
    I'm assuming that you're not running 64-bit windows.
    It sounds like the driver didn't get installed. You could try doing a repair install on iTunes --
    Windows Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panels -> Add or Remove Programs
    Select iTunes, Select Change/Remove button, Select "Repair" radio button, click OK.
    If that doesn't work, you might try downloading just the CD drivers from :

  • Again... Browser on Flex 2-15: problems with images, songs on Hypem load 3 seconds etc.

    Hi again!
    I recently posted here as I had problems with my new Lenovo Flex 2-15 (Intel Core i5-4210U, 8GB RAM) when browsing pretty much ever since I bought it: Link to old thread.
    Switching my DNS to Google's open DNS made me think the problem was solved but here I am again. Images started to load incompletely (some don't show up, missing parts in others etc) again, songs on Hypem only load the first two or three seconds instead of the whole song etc. Fortunately, I'm still able to access GMail though it's getting harder and sometimes needs various re-loads. After a bit of googleing I used CCleaner to get rid off index.dat - browsing was working again but only for a short while as for example, GMail is not loading.
    Considering the first post and the first and second temporary relief, do you have any idea of how to get back to proper browsing?
    Looking forward to hearing from you.
    Best,
    Helen.
