Probs burning CDs using iPod tracks.

Hi everyone
I'm a bit of a technophobe and am having probs with my ipod. I am trying to make my own CDs using songs that are stored on my iPod. Can anyone help with step by step instructions because I am really struggling.
I have tried moving them from iPod into the library but it won't let me.

Hello dannytj,
You can only burn your songs to a CD on iTunes, therefore, you must copy all songs on your iPod to the iTunes on your PC.
Try and download and install a 3rd party software e.g. Yamipod
http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/
Once it has been completed, create a playlist on your iTunes, and move the songs you want to burn to the playlist, open the iTunes -> preference -> Advance -> first select the Disk format e.g. Audio Cd (which can play with most cd players but holds around 10-16 songs only) or MP3 CD (it can only play on CD players compatitable with MP3 only) which can hold around 90 songs.
Once everything has ready, just click the butoon BURN CD at the right hand corner of iTunes
Post here if you need further helps

  • TS1436 I cant burn CDS using itunes but burns using windows media. itunes up to date what now?

    I cant burn cds using itunes but burns in window media.itunes up to date what now?

    Join the crowd. I was thinking of going back to a previous version, but had heard that could be a problem. Fortunately, I have more than one computer and things work fine there. I'm thinking it could be the burner in the problem computer, but it was working just fine before the upgrade...

  • HELP! I updated my software and can no longer burn cds using iTunes

    I followed all of the troubleshooting steps for not being able to burn a cd. I was able to burn cds with other cd burning programs installed on my pc, but itunes was the only program that would not burn the cd correctly. itunes would go through the entire process of burning: check media, check playlist, burn cd, finish burning cd. itunes would even ask me if I wanted to import the new cd into my playlist after it finished "burning" my cd but there was never anything on the cd. I also tried playing the cd using other programs and in other equipment but it never worked. I updated my software recently and I thought I could try to go back to an older version because I never had this problem before. However, when I uninstalled the newer version and tried to reinstall an older version of itunes, the older version of itunes refused to open because my music library was apparently created by the newer version of itunes. I don't know what to do to be able to burn cds again. At this point, I would much rather use another cd burning program but itunes is the only program that will burn the songs that I've purchased from itunes onto a cd.

    Notes usually sync with a mail service i.e gmail, yahoo, aol, etc. Do you have a mail account setup on your product? If so, have you went into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select your mail account > see if notes are toggled on

  • Burning cds using itunes 7.2

    I have just upgraded to itunes 7.2 and now I get an error message saying that it has been installed incorrectly and I won't be able to burn cds. And I can't! Any suggestions how I can fix this. It worked alright on the previous version of itunes and nothing else has been changed.

    Looking at other answers to similar problems, from the diagnostics I get:

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

  • Can't burn CDs; used to be able

    Just up-dated to iTunes 10.
    Before the up-date, could burn CDs just fine.
    Now, I create my new playlist, insert the same kind of CD I used a few days before up-date, and I get the message:
    disc burner or software not found
    And it lists a Mashita DVD burner. (I didn't notice if this was listed previously.)
    Suggestions? Help! Thank you.

  • Burning CDs from iPod playlist

    Hi, I want to be able to drag songs from my iPod playlists into the library stored in my computer, so that I can burn CDs. It won't let me drag them... help!

    Do you mean from library to your playlist, right?
    Try to create a new playlist (not smart playlist), open iTunes ->Files-> New playlist. Then drag the songs from the library to the new playlist

  • MBP Won't Burn CDs Using External Drive

    My internal optical drive in my 2006 MBP died because of something getting stuck in it, and I just got an external drive to replace it (Samsung USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive for Mac and PC SE-S084C/RSBN). If I hook it up and put a DVD in, it functions normally - the DVD Player opens and plays the DVD. If I put a blank CD-R in, the box saying that a blank disc has been inserted comes up and give me the option of opening iTunes, etc. But then if I hit "Burn Disc" in iTunes or a Burn Folder from the Finder, it tells me to insert a blank disc. It seems to only recognize the internal (non-functioning) drive and not the external one when I want to burn CDs. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the discussion forums-
    How about if you where to drag to the desktop the following file:
    com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist
    You can find it in your user/home folder/library/preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist
    Restart your computer and see if this solves the problem. if it does you can trash the plist file are return it if no change.

  • Burning CDs using your iPod

    Is it possible to burn a CD using only the songs that are on your iPod? I deleted all of the songs on my iPod by accident and i do not know how to go about getting them back. PLEASE HELP.
    thanks.

    Megan,
    I'm a little confused by this statement. How do you propose burning cd's from your iPod (which you can't do anyway, they have to be in iTunes), if you've deleted them?

  • Burning CDS and Getting Track Names

    HELP! I cannot figure out how to get track names on CDS that I burn. Instead all i get is TRACK 1, Track 2...
    What setting needs to be changed on the latest version????

    Have you posted this question twice? When you click the "Burn" button a window will come up. You can select the box for "included CD text". However, it is possible that it still won't work as is the case for me. I'm trying to find an answer but finding only aggravation as usual when I need support for iTunes.

  • Suddenly unable to burn CDs using any program.

    For ten years I've been converting LPs to CD, recording FM files weekly and burning them to CD, etc., but suddenly I'm unable to burn any sort of audio file--whether in iTunes or Toast. I insert a blank CD, click on burn, and the blank CD simply ejects, asking me for a blank CD.
    I have recently downloaded for trial purposes (and trashed, I think) some audio programs--an upgrade to Sound Studio 3, Audio Hi-Jack, Fission, Audition, Cacophony. Is it possible that I've unwittingly produced a conflict of priorities and permissions, thereby freezing things up? What might be a solution worth trying?
    Another thought is that unknown to me there's a "back-up" library of aiff audio files somewhere on my hard drive which has taken up gigabytes required for burning.
    Open to all suggestions,

    I have the same problem!
    I write music -- we're getting ready to record another cd and I desperately need help here!!
    I can no longer burn an audio cd from a play list! These are my tunes that I wrote and uploaded into the library and then moved to a play list
    When trying to figure out what happened, I noticed that itunes had been automatically updated to the most current version on my computer --
    I was still on 10.3 which doesn't support it -- I've since downloaded the 10.3.9 and still cannot burn the cd's
    Please help --

    This thread talks about error 2131 and Dell computers. About 3/4 of the way down someone posts a link to a firmware download that seems to solve the problem for a lot of people. Maybe it will help you too.

  • Unable to burn CDs with music downloaded from iTunes store

    It seems that quite a few people have been having problems burning CDs using iTunes 5 and 6, but I'd like to know how many people are experiencing the same problem that I am. iTunes will not burn any of my playlists featuring tracks downloaded from the iTunes store. Playlists free of iTunes downloads, whether they contain tracks I've imported from CD or other MP3 files, will burn fine. If I try to burn a playlist that features tracks purchased from the iTunes store, iTunes simply freezes up and I have to close it down with the Task Manager.
    I've spoken the the Apple support staff in the UK, and they've advised me to try closing down my anti-virus software and removing other music download programs. I've done both of these, but no luck. I have a case number but before I call them back, I'd like to know how many other iTunes users have had the same problem, and whether they've found a solution.

    I have that EXACT same problem! I have no idea what to do though, but it is very mucho frustrating. Let me know if you find out anything, and I will do the same.

  • Error Code when trying to burn cds

    Hi
    i have tried to burn cds using my iMac but for the last while i have been getting the same error , "burning of the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. Error code 0x80020022"
    this error appears if i try to burn music cds or data cds ( documents/photos etc. ) . i searched through all the forums but i can't find a solution. i have tried using disk utility to repair permissions etc. but it says there all fine. i have tried changing cd brands but it doesn't make a difference. i can't use the hardware test on my installation cd because it just spins in the cd and then spits the cd out and just starts as normal yet when i put in a cd it reads it and asks if i want to import it into iTunes. i downloaded Onyx and let it do its thing but that didn't fix it. i also went looking but i can't find a firmware update for the cd drive on my mac. the cd drive in my mac is a "MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8124" . I was wondering if this was a common problem and how do i go about fixing it. one person told me that the cd burner would probably need to be replaced in order to fix this problem is that correct and is that costly . i'm at a loss to what else i can try so i would be very thankful for any help or information you could give to help me get this back working again. Thanks a million

    Hi there,
    I am writing here as an "end-user" and not as a professional computer advisor, and because I've had some problems alike with my older iMac. I've written about my case in here:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1832474&tstart=0
    I would also like to know if there are some procedures to do in OS X (I have 10.3.9) regularly to make sure that the internal cd-rw-drive burns without "having it's own opinion" and giving all kind's of stuped error-signals or even throwing-out the cd-rw's when ordered to burn them.
    I haven't figured out if there is a straight way to do this in OS X with the original Apple-applications. However, I've found a 3rd party freeware application called Burn X Free (1.5 (v1.5)) which at the moment seems to work and do the job of burning cd-rw's. Earlier I was able to burn them in Finder, after going from OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.9 I begun to have burnig-problems, but might be that the origin of the problems is not the X 10.3.9. Anyway, with my user short experience of Burn X Free (1.5 (v1.5))-application I can recommend it if nothing else after all maintenance procedures works...
    However, I would like to know how you solved the problem after all.

  • Registry settings for burning CDs/DVDs missing when Itunes installed

    I have recently had to reinstall ITunes following a computer crash. I am unable to burn to CD - when I start up ITunes I am told that the "registry settings are missing" and am told to reinstall, which I have done without success. I have not loaded any other CD/DVD burning software, and can burn CDs using other programmes. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.
