Question about burning CDs

I bought a few albums from iTunes to put on my MBA. I want to burn one of the albums onto a CD but I don't have the external optical drive. Is there anyway to do this wirelessly? What should I do?

Do not fear. It sounds like this is music you bought through itunes. You just need to 'authorize' the second computer. Then you can burn the songs to disk. On the second computer, double click one of the songs to play it. iTunes will ask for your username and password. Enter that information. One that it done, and the song plays, you can then burn it to disk.

  • Video sound and picture on tv.. question about burning to DVD

    Hi
    I finally got the picture to show up on the TV. I went into video, settings and turned on the TV out setting. Now I wonder if I can burn the itunes shows I bought onto a dvd?
    Will this be a backup copy incase my computer dies or will I be able to watch this on a dvd player too?
    Anyone know if I should put the shows on a dvd and if I can watch them on my dvd player then?
    Thanks

  • Question about burning in Finder?

    I use finder to burn mp3 cd's all the time...basically because its way faster and I can fit multiple amounts of mp3's on a cd-r...but my question is this...my itunes library is filed like - artist name/album/songs....then in songs each track is given a track # ie..01, 02, 03 etc...but when I drag songs from my library to a burn folder the songs won't stay in the order that i drag them when they are burned to cd...instead of the order i dragged them Finder always burns them in alphabetical order??? Is there any way to make finder burn mp3's not in alphabetical order??? Thx!!!

    Charles
    The finder will always burn things in alphanumeric order. It's just the nature of the beast and nothing to be done about it, I'm afraid.
    Have a look at your iTunes Preferences: Advanced -> Burning
    What's selected there? You can burn as an Audio CD, Mp3CD or a Data CD. An mp3 cd, for instance, will hold 650 MB of files, that's maybe 150 tracks.

  • Urgent question on burning cds.

    I am getting married in 2 days. My fiance and I want to give cds to our guests as gifts. We spent a lot of time picking our songs, used LightScribe to make a cool label, and last nite started burning them. We had no idea Itunes would not let us burn more than 7! We only need 20 does anyone know how we can do this? Time is running out, and we were really looking forward to this.

    I have selected the songs from my playlist ... (emphasis added)
    iTunes burns an entire playlist, not a part of one.
    So you <a href="<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93045"> create a playlist  with exactly the songs you want to burn to a CD. Make sure they're all checked and then select (highlight) the playlist itself in the Source List.
    The Burn Disc button should appear.

  • Question about burning..... need help

    it has said finishing for an awfully long time. so i changed speed to 4x. i have a memorex cd-r brand 700 mb 80 minute blank cd in. i am burning about 35 minutes of my own voice. is there anyway i can see what song number it is on transferring and stuff like that? and how long should the burning process take.

    Topdawg, since this is a burning issue & not really a mini issue, I would strongly suggest you re-post in the iTunes for Windows forums under the sub-group, importing & burning. You will probably have a better chance of getting help in that forum.

  • Question about burning speeds

    This has happened from new.
    As you see from my Mac Pro specs, it's not daft , but when I tell it to burn a DVD or CD at x4
    which is my preferred speed (nice and safe) it ignores me and does it at x8-10 varying
    Importing CDs into itunes it gets up to x22ish
    Does anyone know how to slow it down ?

    Well, first of all, importing songs into iTunes is not the same as burning. Burning is a write operation. Importing is a read operation. (From the standpoint of the optical drive).
    You can't really control the read-speed of the drive when importing into iTunes although iTunes does automatically control it if there are errors detected.
    As for burning, what program are you using? I'm assuming you are using Toast if you know the actual speed at which the disc is being burned at as Finder/Disk Utility do not report this statistic. When you select 4x in toast, is the number bold? If it isn't then it isn't a recommended burning speed for your drive/media and will automatically step up to the next safest level.
    Hope this helps!

  • Question about burning my DVD

    Hi
    I was hoping for a bit of advice before I burned my DVD.
    I have an iMovie project that lasts about 1hr 40 mins that I want to burn using iDVD. I realise this is long - much longer than any movies I've done before, so I was just wondering if there are any tips I should follow to make sure the whole process works smoothly.
    Is there a particular type of DVD I should use for maximum space and effect? I gather I should set the option to "Best Quality" rather than "Best Performance". Ideally I'd also like to add a photo slideshow of between 30 and 40 photos. Is this a bad idea to try and fit anything more onto the disc?
    Thanks in advance for any advice people might be able to offer.
    Ian

    unoriginal,
    You should start a new Topic for your problem. Coming into a previous Topic gets confusing...
    1. Not good...
    2. You should have 20GB+ free on your start-up drive.
    3. Is it FireWire? Did you format for Mac? Is the iDVD project on your start-up drive at User/Documents?
    4. Turn off all Energy Saver settings. Don't run virus software. Don't run FileVault.
    Due to these problems, should I be aborting the project, fix them and try again,
    Yes.
    Capturing video to the external should work fine as long as it's FireWire and Mac formatted.
    My 105min iMovie has been burning in iDVD for about 15 hours now.
    Too long... See one of my projects below.
    Ireland 2006
    iDVD 6 Pass Through widescreen theme
    696 images that are 2816x1584 pixels shot with Canon SD700 IS
    15 640x480 movies from same digital camera transcoded to H.264 with QuickTime Pro.
    Part 1 and Part 2 submenu buttons on main menu. All submenus are the Chapters option for this theme.
    Part 1 leads to a submenu. That submenu has additional submenus and sub-submenus. Part 1 leads to 12 total submenus. These menus contain images and movies.
    Part 2 leads to a submenu. That submenu has 5 submenus with only images.
    I had to "remove" animation on all the sub-submenus and not include any music to get everything on a single-layer DVD-R. The Menu info was WAY over the 7:30; something like 14:00 after these adjustments. About 20 slideshows with music. Additional short slideshows with no music.
    Started the rendering/encoding process at exactly 1:00:00 p.m.
    Finished the Menu video rendering/encoding process at 3:53:30.
    Finished the slides and transitions process at 5:37:30.
    Process movies start 5:37:30, finished 6:27:45.
    Burn process start 6:27:45.
    Retrieving ends 6:28:30
    Writing lead-in starts 6:28:30. Finished 6:31:55.
    Writing... finished 6:33:50.
    This is the longest project ever for me. Mainly because of the animated menu rendering/encoding.

  • Noob Question About Burning a DVD

    I downloaded a divx and an avi movie to my Macbook. They are both associated with a textbook I am using and are free to download if you have the accesss code provided in the text. My question is I would rather watch them on my tv instead of on my laptop. So how do I do this? I have a Sony progressive scan but I don't know if it will play divx or avi's. I have Toast Platinum and I'm looking for someone to instruct me in a very step by step manner as to how I can make a playable DVD. Thanks!

    Toast will work. Just open it and choose make dvd video. You cn choose if you want menus or not. If it is a single video file I suggest no menus. For two or more menus help a lot. Toast will take the avi file and make it into a file your dvd player can use. Then add your file and burn it.

  • Question about burning CD

    I put a CD of mine into the computer to download to my shuffle. iTunes searched the database and came up with three different CD's, and I accidently clicked the wrong one. Now it won't let me download my CD, it keeps bringing up the wrong one. Anything I can do to fix it?

    Ok, I understand what you're saying now. Disk Utility creates multi-session CD's by burning the images as a disk image. Unfortunately, since Windows doesn't recognize the .dmg file format you'll need a Mac to open these CD's. According to this KBase article the ISO format typically used by Windows PC's doesn't allow for multiple sessions. I'm surprised the print shop you go to does not have at least one Mac. I know you'd rather not excercise this option but a third party application may be the only solution for you.

  • Question about burning audio CD

    When I select "Burn CD" and get the window where I can choose the disc format, exactly how does it choose what file format to burn when I select "Audio CD"?

    Note that although the files have the extension .aiff when viewed in Finder, this is not the same as a CD you might make if you burn aiff files to a CD as a data CD. That kind of CD will not play in a non-computer player.

  • Question about burning

    For some reason, when I try to burn songs to disc, the songs record, but not the song information. When I try to download burned songs, it simply lists the track numbers. Can anyone help me fix this?
    Also, is there anyway for me to transfer my tunes to a flash drive? I can't seem to do that.

    if you visit opensourcemac.org you can find a program called BURN. Download that, it will allow you to burn an avi file so it can be played on a DVD.

  • Question about burning dual layer DVD's

    I've owned a 2012 iMAC for a few weeks, having owned a 2007 iMAC until it stopped working. For the 2007 iMAC it was able to burn CD-R,CD-RW,DVD-R,DVD+R, DVD-RW,DVD+RW and DVD+R/DL. I never tried recording DVD-R/DL on that iMAC, since it was implied(in the list of useable blank media) that DVD-R/DL couldn't be used.
    With my new 2012 iMAC,it seems that the situation is that DVD+R/DL can be used to burn "Burn Folders" of data, but can't be used to burn video material, and that if I want to burn video material requiring a dual layer disc, it should be DVD-R/DL. (maybe that is for the best, because DVD-R/DL has compatability with more non-computer DVD players than DVD+R/DL)
    Does that sound correct to you? I guess I'll go out and buy a spindle of DVD-R/DL discs.

    I burn dual layer DVDs all the time using iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 (on a Mac Pro).
    I have since switched back to Snow Leopard. However, I found the above software to work perfectly with Lion.

  • Question about MSN on my new DC G5 and about Burning on Itunes

    Hey guys I have a question about ripping music to itunes, I have a Dual Core 2.0 and was wondering if it was normal that my ripping speed is round 14.5 one some cd's and on other cds 27.5 lol i have ripping to maximum, but the weirdest thing is that if i burn data to a CD, it does it faster than ever, compared to my old comp, but my old comp use to rip I tunes some times faster.
    how cna i check if my super drive is working fine or is this pretty normal? like DVD's work fast on the comp, and stuff installs pretty fast? so i dont think its a reading problem, and ive done hardware tset and eveyrthing passed
    Secondly, my Gf also has a mac and i think she has the smae problem or at least she says she does, and that is when running MSN Messenger i get signed off alot, saying that my network connection has been lost when i run Safari all the time on it, and works perfectly and FAST. is it just that MSN messenger has bugs with mac ? ive heard bout some bugs just dont know if this is one of them

    Make sure you have your CPU speed set to highest. Ripping the CD will depend on CPU and condition of the originial disk. Old disks may take longer.
    As for MSN? If only you and your GF are the users of MSN you might be better switching to AIM or iChat. Here's a review of different IM applications...
