Slower Burn speed since iTunes 5.0.1

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced a change in their burn speed since upgrading to iTunes 5.0.1

hi Samuel!
okay, we've got your CD diagnostics up, so skilled passers-by can comment. we'd better also work through some of the other usual suspects:

... and these resources might also be helpful:

... and if no joy with that, head here to check for other documentation and to submit your CD diagnostics to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/cddiagnostics/
... but we also had some success (case-by-case basis) with 4000-range errors in 4.x when we tried the MS troubleshooting documents:

  • Slow Burn Speed Since Updating to 5.0.1

    Has anyone else noticed a weird change in burning speeds since updating to 5.0.1? It seems to have doubled the length of time that it takes for an nour long CD to burn (around 6 minutes).

    I have just wasted eight CD's trying to burn a compilation. A message keeps coming up "Burn speed is too fast for the device or the media" and that I need to get into iTunes Preferences to adsjust the speed setting of burning. I've gone from52X down to 4X and APPARENTLY Mit's still too fast! This never happened before I updated to 5.0.1. I have no idea what's going on.

  • Burning Speed in Itunes

    What is the normal time it should take to burn and audio CD in Itunes? I have a the superdrive that comes the with the Powerbook G4 12 inch but I feel like burning a CD in itunes 7 is a lot slower than it was in 6. Anyone know?

    I haven't noticed any difference burning from iTunes 7 vs 6. What is your burn speed set to in your iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Burning panel? I have mine set to the top rated burn speed for my SuperDrive or 24x rather than Automatic. I believe your SuperDrive has the same write speed according to this review. See if changing the burn speed to a specific number improves the write performance.

  • Burn speed error iTunes

    iTunes v 6.05
    Selected 4x burning speed under preferences
    Will not burn , get message, "iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media". I am using Verbatim disks with said burn speed and didn't have problems in the past. Have tried marking 2x, maximum possible burn speed and nothing works. Also could not burn pictures to a CD either. This used to work before memory upgrade.
    1.25 GHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Try a different brand. Highly recommended:
    FUJI
    TDK
    Verbatim
    Make sure the CDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.

  • Changing the Burning Speed in iTunes

    Has the option for changing the burning speed been taken away in the most recent version of iTunes. I thought this used to be an option under iTunes/Preferences, but I can't seem to find it. Any information about this would be appreciated.

    Having the same problem, since 7.7 and now 8. Have my library on an external hard drive and used to not have any problems. Took average of 5-6 minutes a CD, now 18 to 19 minutes. Could it be because of a problem with USB and my external? Seems like USB is causing a lot of problems in 8.

  • Inexplicably slow importing speeds with iTunes 7.0.1 lead to suicide...

    Or they will any minute now. Tom ake things worse, for a brief moment, I was back to importing at around 3.5x, my average speed before iTunes 7 (though for some reason using lossless before iTunes 7 gave me an average of 12x). But the glory did not last. I'm back to 0.1x and so I am now considering ending it all before it gets any worse. Thanks apple for giving and then suddenly taking it all away...

    I have had the same issue. Which didn't begin until I upgraded from itunes 6.x to 7.x.
    I also upgraded as mentioned.
    Read/import speeds went from as high as 11x on 6.x to less than 1x! It took 9 hours to import a 55 minute CD.
    Reverting back to 6.x

  • Very slow sync speeds since update to iTunes 7.4.1

    I have two ATVs on a 802.11n 5 GHz network. At some point recently, I suspect the upgrade of iTunes to 7.4.1, both ATVs started to sync extremely slowly. For example, a photo takes almost a minute. Activity Monitor shows an outbound network transfer rate of around 60 kB/sec. All other devices on the wireless network are seeing normal transfer rates - around 6 MB/sec for file transfers.
    I reset one of the ATVs to its factory settings and set it up again, but the problem persists. Any ideas?

    Okay, just the extremely obvious, but you have tried rebooting your base stations and any and all computers attached to the network, right?
    I just ask because yesterday my two AE stopped working on my otherwise reliable (and working) wireless network. Everything else was working just fine, but only by rebooting everything (turning it all off and on again) was I able to get the AEs to see the network again. I know -- I'm sure you've already done this a couple dozen times but it never hurts to ask.

  • Slow burning speed

    I have a new i7 pc and win 7 64bit, 32GB RAM.  I have the latest iTunes, but this probblem was true with at least the previous version if not more.
    Preparing a playlist to burn takes about ten minutes or more. Once burning starts the speed seemms normal.  I see other people have posted this but I can't find any reasonable answer.  Burn is set to max speed, and as I said, all my gear is new and very fast.

  • Imac won't play burned cds since itunes+ update

    After I updated itunes to 7.2 my imac will no longer recognize any CDs I have burned. I get the standard "This disc has not been formatted" etc. The CDs will play on a regular CD player but not the imac. The imac will play all of my commercial CDs without problem. I have tried the utility disk repair and it says it finds no problem. I have updated permissions.
    I downloaded the update a 2nd time and tried reinstalling it but I don't think it is since as soon as I click install it says installation successful after about 10 seconds.
    Any ideas what could be going wrong? Seems that if it were the CD drive it wouldn't play the commercial CDS either.

  • Slow Download Speeds using itunes store?

    Hi.
    For the last couple of days any song i've downloaded on itunes has been downloading painfully slow, and im pretty sure it's not a problem from my end. Is anything like this happening to anyone else?

    I have noticed the same thing. For the last days I have conly download speeds od 300 kbps from Itunes. At first, I thought it was my internet connection speed. I have checked and recchecked it. With differen meters I have 3 Mbps. So it is not a matter of my connection. It must be something happening at the iTunes store.
    Please, if anybody knows about this problem, please advice.

  • Slow Download Speeds in iTunes

    I have a 17" Intel Mac Core Duo, 512Mb RAM, on an Adelphia Cable connection using a Motorola SB5100E Surfboard modem.
    I`m noticing that even though the traffic widget is showing download speeds of 1.xx Gb and variable Kb`s rate, my downloads on iTunes are excruciatingly slow. It could be me but sometimes other downloads seem slow as well.
    What or where should I look for in order to speed things up?
    Should I add more RAM?
    Another thing I noticed lately, could be or not related, when I click the Mighty Mouse button in order to see the widgets, I have one of the widgets that initially display a message of "Internet Connection Required", but eventually it will start working. The other widgets also fail to work as well while this is happening. It seems to me RAM should be the answer to my problems, but back in february of this year when I bought the computer, none of this was happening. I haven`t added that many programs to the computer that could be taxing the system this much.

    What speed are you paying for from Adelphia?
    Have you tried other tools to measure DL speed like PC Pitstop? It is not Flash or Javascript based and gives an accurate measurement in my experience.
    It is possible that your ISP is having temporary troubles or that ITMS is just plain busy. Although it is probably unrelated, these support forums have been slow for me today.

  • VERY slow wireless speeds since Infinity 2 upgrade

    I don't know whether it is just coincidence or not but ever since BT upgraded my Infinity Unlimited to Infinity 2, the wireless speeds on my home network have been ridiculously slow. With a wired connection I get about 55-65 Mbps download and 10-15Mbps upload typically, while on wireless it's a fraction of that. For instance, the last test I did gave 3.33Mbps download and 0.13Mbps upload! I have tried different routers, tried changing the wireless channels, tried turning off other wireless equipment in the house, all to no avail. The strange thing is, the wireless signal strength is showing good to excellent. The speeds I obtained when Infinity was first installed were typically around 20Mbps download and 7-8Mbps upload.
    I have contacted BT India and they said they were going to run some tests today, but I can't imagine how they are going to diagnose this problem remotely. Has anyone any ideas about what could be causing this and how I can go about finding a solution?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am rather hoping that an engineer will be able to confirm whether or not the wireless signal is being degraded by interference and if so, what might be the cause and/or the general direction it is coming from. I have carried out all the tests I can do on my own, such as changing channels, routers, etc and turning off any other electronic devices in my home that emit radio signals, but nothing has made a jot of difference. All I know is that until a couple of months or so I had a great wireless signal, but now I do not. I can't find the cause without the help of an expert (i.e., BT engineer) coming to check what is going on. If BT are only interested in providing a good signal by ethernet cable, then they shouldn't be adverting on the TV how great their HH3 is at distributing a wireless signal around the home if it only works like that some of the time or for some people.

  • Slow ADSL speed since power failure during trainin...

    Hi all,
    When our BT total broadband was installed, we had a power failure during the 10 day training period (back in June).
    At the start of the training period, we had a speed of 3936 kbps downstream:
    16:32:27, 28 Jun. ( 76.590000) DSL noise margin: 20.00 dB upstream, 6.00 dB downstream
    16:32:27, 28 Jun. ( 76.520000) DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 3936 Kbps downstream
    which was within the speeds we expected prior to installation (from the BT website for our phoneline):
    You can choose BT Broadband now offering:
    3Mb * 
    Estimate download speed
    1.5Mb-5.5Mb 
    Download speed range
    However, since the power failure during training (June 2013) we have never managed to get close to that speed, even after consecutive weeks of the HH4 being connected. Our current ADSL stats are pretty representative of what we have achieved ever since:
    DSL noise margin: 21.00 dB upstream, 6.10 dB downstream
    DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 1344 Kbps downstream
    The connection sometimes holds for weeks on end - other times it cuts out without any cause (from our end at least). For example, earlier today (after an uptime of 11680 mins):
    12:11:13, 27 Oct.
    (3862269.900000) DSL noise margin: 21.00 dB upstream, 6.10 dB downstream
    12:11:13, 27 Oct.
    (3862269.830000) DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 1344 Kbps downstream
    12:10:42, 27 Oct.
    (3862239.140000) DSL is down after 11680 minutes uptime
    12:10:42, 27 Oct.
    (3862239.140000) ETHoA is down after 11680 minutes uptime

    Any help you can offer would be much appreciated - the internet literally crawls along sometimes!

  • Slow ripping speed in iTunes

    I get around 4x-10x when importing CD's. Is this normal

    I have noticed the same thing, but attributed it to the slower DVD-ROM drive. Perhaps that was the wrong assumption, but what I really want to address it the following comment:
    so maybe the
    newer (Universal) version of iTunes is the problemr
    rather than the MacBook - anybody else seen the issue
    on other machines?
    I have had crashing issues with iTunes on my MBP. I believe that it is because of the Universal version of iTunes. I have a post on this issue in the iTunes discussion (look up "iTunes freezing"). Anyone else experiencing similar problems?
