Slow CD Burn on iTunes Version 10.2.2 ???

I have been burning my music library to disc to save them in case I get another computer crash and lose my music again. I have a new HP (about 5 months old) and have been burning discs just fine. All of a sudden, the speed has been slowing down on the burning dramatically (which I burn from the iTunes program). I read quite a while back in Entertainment Weekly that iTunes only allows one to burn a finite amount of discs and then it slows down and finally stops all together. Is this true, and if so...why? Is that why I'm having a problem now, or is it something I can fix? Thank you in advance.

hi guys,
apologies for hijacking this thread, but i am having similar problems with itunes on the pc.
itunes burning slow.
i thought it might be my portable plug and play LG drive, but using that in conjunction with a 3rd party burning software app. and it is burning at normal speeds fine.
i also used the same drive with itunes on my mac and it still burns at the correct fast speeds rthat i used to be familiar with.
i have tried different media (hyundai and verbatim cd-r's) with itunes on the pc, no difference.
here is my diagnostic report. i hope someone can help:

Slow CD burning on iTunes

Hello!
I am using an old but perfectly happy Powermac G4 with OS X 10.3.9 and iTunes 7.2 (the latest that will run on my machine). I have also installed a Pioneer DVD DVR-112D internal optical drive and Patchburn, which works brilliantly with Finder burning (up to 42x) and until recently with iTunes too.
Lately, however, burning audio CDs from iTunes has slowed right down. According to the Console, iTunes requests 8x burning (no matter what is chosen in iTunes preferences) but only actually burns at 4x speed. Previously, iTunes would blast through an 80 minute CD in a couple of minutes at max speed; now it takes up to 20 minutes. I am using the same brand of CDs that I have always used, and I cannot see any reason for the sudden loss of speed...
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Dave

ITunes Version 10 runs slow; response to mouise commands lag

ITunes version 10 has never run smoothly on my computer. There is a annoying lag between the time you initiate a mouse command and a response from the program. I tried to uninstall and reinstall a while back, but that did not fix the problem. Never had this problem with earlier ITune versions. Does anyone know what is causing the problem and how to fix it?

Hello,
I just bought a new 27'mac w/ 4gb of ram and a Tb of memory. while i use it (with no other progams on) my itunes is slow. meaning that when i scroll or hit play it will be slow to respond. Even when i go to edit my tags sometimes. Now the problem is not constant, but it is annoying enough for me to post about it. Have you solved this issue? Now i will say that i have well over 200gbs of music on my computer (im a dj). Any help would be great.

TS1436 Have downloaded and checked that I have the latest version of iTunes installed. When I attempt to burn a CD I get " Disc Burner in Software not found" or CD/DVD doesn't have connectivity to burn via iTunes. Can anyone help me please?

I have ensured I have installed the latest version of iTunes and conducted everything to the point of burning from a playlist to a CD. When I do this the iTunes window states "Disc Burner or Software not found" "CD/DVD doesnt have connectivity to burn via iTunes".
I have checked my drive and it reads a pre-recorded disc correctly. Any help please ???

I have the same problem as simtagman. Would you mind looking at my diagnostics?

Where's the "burn button" on itunes version 10.2.1?

I'm trying to burn a playlist from itunes to a blank CD. I'm unable to locate the "burn" button on itunes and do not see it under "file" or anywhere else. I'm running itunes version 10.2.1. Can anyone tell me how to to command the itunes program to burn the playlist onto the blank CD. I'm 72 years old, "technologically challenged" so please exuse me if this seems like a stupid question. thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Again, excuse my ineptness but I don't know how to "right click" on the playlist. I selected the playlist I wish to burn onto the CD but my mouse doesn;t have a right click option.

Audio cd burn from 11.1 not playing on old version of iTunes on another MAC. error message was cd created on newer version of iTunes. If the disk was a audio cd it should not matter the iTunes version.

The error message was cd created on newer version of iTunes. If the disk was a audio cd it should not matter the iTunes version. I converted all songs on playlist to MP3 and then selected burn playlist and checked audio cd. This worked in itunes 11.0.5. Also itunes 11.1 will not accept the second disk on a cd audio burn. It just keeps telling me to insert a blank disk, no matter how many blank disks are inserted

I think that the operating system is 10.4.11 and iTunes isn't responding to this operating system. I cannot upgrade the operating system to a version any later than what it is as I think it would then go to Tiger.
10.4 is Tiger, and 10.4.11 supports the latest version of iTunes and QuickTime. So either the system isn't at 10.4.11 - your original post said 10.4.1 - or there's something wrong with the system in which case earlier versions of iTunes/QuickTime might well also fail to install.
Please confirm the version of Mac OS X that really is on the system and we'll go from there.

My Mac laptop was running fine till I downloaded the latest itunes version this week, now all the programs are slow, ITUNEs cuts in and out. Anyone know what I did wrong?

Hello Mark Malecki,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having some issues with iTunes on your MacBook. You may want to isolate the issues further by testing to see if they persist in a new user account:

You can also try starting iTunes in safe mode:

Cannot burn from itune to cd

Burned playlist title shows up on left menu with a cd icon but playback results in sound coming in and out,like bad signal on radio station, also verrry slow then freezes, reinserted cd, got 'blank cd' message and cd icon showing cd title does not appear. Tried playing cd in car, got 'err' message and eject. This is new problem, as I have routinely burned purchased/non-purchased playlists using cdrw's. Successfully downloaded itunes version 6, deleted play list, recreated it, still same problem. Afraid to plug in ipod, don't want to corrupt if problem is with cpu.

They are protected, there are copyright issues, you can burn a copy to save in case something happens to your computer, but you can not burn a DVD to say play on your tv, or even a cd copy to play on your tv. To back them up, go under backup under file and it will ask you if you want to back up your purchased movies, songs, tv, etc. I also would love to burn them and play them to my tv, but a get around is to use the apple cables and then play them from your ipod video.

Does itunes 10.1 resolve the slow internet issues of itunes 10?

Hi guys,
when I installed iTunes 10 I experienced extremly slow internet connections and after looking through the forums, decided as some other users to revert back to iTunes 9. This did resolve my problems.
Now I note that iTunes has moved to 10.1 and I was wondering whether people who have installed it have any issues with their internet connection. I have an iMac 2.67 Quad - intel with OSX 10.6.5.
I would not want to go through all this again, I have been quite disappointed by this issue and the lack of support to it so I'd rather save the trouble and keep my opinion of Apple from any further damage !

i was just forced to install 10.1 b/c 8.21 (BEST itunes version ever - super fast, never crashed, etc) which worked flawlessly finally told me i had to upgrade b/c i could no longer see the store - it just stopped working. it's VERY painful to use 10.1 now, esp the store. this thread covers the same topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12743989#12743989
seems like it's on both windows and mac.

an upgrade to iTunes 7.2.0.35 might be worth a try. the itunes versions 7.1.x and 7.2.x have a newer version of the CD Driver DLL (2.0.6.2) than the 7.0.2.16 that you've got.
since it's a custom-built PC, we check the sites of the manufacturers of the individual components to see if there are any updates to those components. there does seem to be a newer version of the firmware (R1.04) available for your AOPEN CRW5232/AAO PRO at AOPEN. i've been assuming (based on your alias) that you're located in Australia, so i was searching in the Asia/Pacific parts of their website for firmware upgrades. if you're not in Australia, it might be worth checking through the correct region, just in case AOPEN has regional differences in their firmware offerings.
in the three fields on this page, select "CDRW drives", "CRW5232/AAO PRO", and "Firmware" to see the firmware offerings for the drive:
AOPEN Asia
with other componentry, check in at ABIT to see if there are any chipset driver or BIOS upgrades available for the motherboard:

... and it would be good to see if there are any updates available for your video card at ATI. for additional information on checking on that, see:

How can I eliminate error in printing a cd jewel case cover in latest ITunes version?

How can I eliminate the printing error in Itunes when attempting to print a cd jewel case cover? I'm using the latest iTunes version.

I finally solved this problem after toiling with it for a couple of days. Solution: Once you have burned your CD you must go back into iTunes to your music/playlists and select the playlist you just burned and click file; print and you will get the mosaics that we have been accustomed to. I was on hold with Apple Support when I found this myself. Yes......!!! Problem solved..for me anyway. Good luck!

Is there a downloadable iTunes Version Available for OS Windows ME?

Is there a downloadable iTunes Version Available for OS Windows ME? If so, please let me know. Here is the situation.
I would like to import some classical music that I have in my Windows Media Player to iTunes so that I could burn the music to a CD.I am unable to burn the music in the WMP program because the Adaptec Easy Cd Creator is not compatible with the newer version of the WMP. Also, the Roxio program is not available for the older version of Windows ME. Any help would be appreciated in this matter.
Thank you.

If there is, folks running OS 8 and previous who hang out here might not know about it. But folks in the iTunes for Windows forum probably used to run it, and can help out a lot:

Burning in iTunes so that CDDB Data Stays instead of track 1, track 2...

Hello,
I would like to be able to burn my CDs with the CDDB data that iTunes has instead of iTunes burning something that says:
track 1
track 2
... etc.
So that when I go to a friends house and put the CD in their computer, it will read all the correct info. DO I need do buy Toast or something for this? Is there anyway I can do this?

i'm trying to get the gist of this but...
i'm using itunes 6.0.4, on a new g5, with 10.4.5, and i burned some cd's from my playlist tonight, and the playlist song titles were missing from the FIRST cd i burned, of what becomes a two cd burn. in other words, more than one cd needed to burn the playlist. all i got was 'track 1' etc. the remaining song titles appear on the SECOND cd. why is this? is this specific to the new version? why do song titles appear on a burned cd where the playlist only requires one cd?
on my desk, is my old half-basketball imac...i used it tonight to burn a few of these cd's, and all the song titles appeared on all the cd's. it's using itunes version 6.0.3. in any case, how do the songs appear only in certain cases?
where is the window that opens that asks to 'name this cd'?
by reading here, it would appear that i should never have been able to see song titles when i put a cd i burned into the player. but i have. always. and i don't have toast, or jam. so what's up with this??
thanks for any feedback.

I'm burning cd's to itunes on my PC and can't see the albums I've burned in itunes on my ipad or iphone, why?

I can see a extremely slow download of one at a time of the remaining songs. Very disappointed in iTunes, should not take 24 hours to retrieve songs!!!
