STILL cannot burn cd's in ITUNES

OK I have posted along with thousands of other people enjoying the NOT being able to burn in Itunes.. When I boot up Itunes a message comes up.
Itunes cannot locate the C/D configuration folder so you cannot import or burns cd's and DVD's . This folder must be in the same directory as I tunes ..
It's in there dont know why it doesn't see it but it's there.. Every thing works I can play cd's watch dvds I just can't burn them.. If I could go back to 6.0 with out loosing any music I would . Everything worked fine till I upgraded to 7.0..
Can't believe they would put out an upgrade with this big of a flaw .. Come on Itunes people help us out !!!!!!
By the way I have tried the Chip set down load NO help And I have tried a different burner NO HELP I also went into Imapi cd burning .com service and clicked Automatic NO HELP

Ok here is what I did. I had my Itunes on my second hard drive. So I copied the CD configuration folder from my G drive into the itunes folder on the c drive. When I opened Itunes, the error went away and I was able to burn a disk.
Hope this helps.

I cannot burn a CD from iTunes...please help!

I desperately need to back up all the music I have purchased and I cannot burn a CD from iTunes for some reason. I went through the trouble-shooting on this website and still had no luck. I tried to load the songs into my iPod and transfer them to my laptop iTunes as a backup but there's no way all my music will fit on my Nano. So I'm wondering if there's any other way to back up my music files...can I copy them to a zip drive or external hard drive? I am so not tech-savvy and I have so much money invested in my iTunes library. Thanks in advance!

Here's a link to the list of iTunes forums:

Don't worry about it, it's no big deal, I just wanted you to know that in the future you may get more help in there.

Have you tried to restart the Mac?
Another program may be blocking the drive.
If restarting does not help, check out the questions here:

On my ibook G4 v 10.4.7, I have itunes verison 4.7.1(30) and a new shuffle. Even though I downloaded the newest version of itunes I still cannot sync music from my itunes to shuffle. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

Hi, you need to upgrade to 10.5.x...
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10 or later4
Internet access is required; broadband recommended; fees may apply
http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/specs.html
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

Cannot burn to DVD in iTunes 6 - unknown error occurred [261]

I'm having issues burning a playlist to DVD in iTunes 6 - it rejects the DVD and gives me an error message "The attmept to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred [261]." If I try to burn the same playlist to a CD, there is not a problem. In my "burning" preferences within iTunes, I have selected "Data CD or DVD", but when I pull the preferences up again, it only says "Data CD". I click this option again and it gives me "Data CD or DVD", but never seems to keep the "DVD" part of the option.
I have been able to burn to DVD from playlists in the past, but I believe it was before I upgraded to iTunes 6.
Any suggestions?
HP Pavilion 6650y Windows XP Pro

Correction: I cannot burn CDs or DVDs of playlists in iTunes 6.0.1. I have no problem burning CDs in other applications and could burn CDs prior to updating to iTunes 6.

Cannot Burn CD-R from iTunes

About week ago, could not completely burn CD-R on iTunes...was able to burn two out of 15 attempts. The error message "Attempt to burn a disc failed. Burn failed due to a medium write error." No such problems since bought this Mac little over 3 yrs ago (yes off warranty)
I am using Sony CD-R's and have tried using different speeds such as 2X and 4X. Have generally used Sony CD-R's without any problems until last week.
Am using iMac 27 OS X 10.5.8 with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. The SuperDrive is OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A.
Any help appreciated!

Sorry, Walter. I can' t help except to say I have the same problem. The Itunes burn process either keeps prompting to insert a disk when I have put one in the tray., or it displays the message "The Attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc can't be burned; it might be incompatible with this disc drive. Please try a different brand of disc or try try burning at a slower speed".
I was trying a speed on 1x. There isn't a slower speed.
What settings do I need to make the CD burn to work?
These are the details of the CD burner
OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A:
Firmware Revision: 1AHM
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)

The CD being used was a Sony CD-R 50cdq80sp5a. Haven't got a CD-RW to try but I do have 47 more CD-Rs ....! have raised a call with Sony

Cannot burn CD after installing Itunes

I recently isntalled Itunes and cannot now burn CD's outside of Itunes. Whenever I click on the CD-RW drive i get the error message "incorrect fucntion". There is also now a tab missing from the properties of the drive. I can update the registry setting for this drive to let windows know it is a writebale drive (change the type from a 3 to a 2) and that gives me back the missing tab but then Itunes complains that it needs to be reinstalled because the CD settings have changed. When Itunes gets re-installed the drive type goes back to a 3 from the 2 and I can no longer write CD's using the drive! A work colleague of mine appears to have the same issue (we have the same laptop type and are running the same version of windows). Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Whenever I click on the CD-RW drive i get the error message "incorrect fucntion".
do you have an old version of Easy CD Creator on your PC? usually that symptom is associated with that. see:
"Incorrect function" error message when you access the CD-ROM drive, the DVD-ROM drive, or the CD-RW drive
if you don't currently have one of those versions of Easy CD Creator on the PC, have you ever had oneinstalled on the PC? if so, leftover device filter entries in your Registry may be conflicting with the itunes device filters, causing the issue. if that's what is going, the techniques from the following document may be of some help:

Reading lots of forums but still cannot burn disks

Hello,
I have tried numerous ways to burn a dvd disk, but I cannot seem to be able to.
I have tried with toast, I'mtoo DVD and Disk utility.
I have repaired disk permissions, updated, and currently working with 10.5.4. Even tried the gimmick of changing the languages in system preferences.
I can read DVD's still.
The blank DVD's I am using worked perfectly a couple of weeks ago.
The other thing I have noticed, is when I place a blank disk in the drive, nothing comes up on my desk top, although disks with content are seen on my desk top.
When attempting to burn from the disk utility, the error message is "the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media".
When attempting to burn from toast 9.0.1, I get the error message "Sense key = medium error Sense code = 0x73, 0x03" The lead in process does not get to start either.
I currently have 12 GB spare on my HD.
My specs are listed below.
Thanks

Try running a DVD Lens cleaner through it, this often fixes the problem.

Cannot burn cd's in itunes 9

Every time I try to burn an audio cd I get the message "the attempt to burn a disc failed.The burn failed because of a medium write error". What is the problem is it itunes or is something wrong with my device?

I cannot copy my playlist onto a CD so I can play it in my car.
I insert the disk into the computer and nothing happens. It looks like it searches for the disk and nothing happens. I just got i-tunes 9.1.
I was able to do it before and now nothing.
Could anyone help? I would appreciate it.
Thanks

I cannot burn a cd in itunes on my macbook pro

for some reason when i put a cd in and try to burn a playlist a message flashes on itunes saying " disk burner or software not found" however i definitely made a cd on this computer before. anybody got any tips?

Ok, that gives some usefull info.
Mostly this occours with iTunes for Windows on Windows systems.
On Mac it is most likely a permissions problem. This can happen sometimes after major system updates.
First Aid
Close all running applications
Go to Disk Utility
Force a permission repair to your harddrive ( e.g. MacIntosh HD)
Ignore upcoming messages like "could not repair permissions on file xy" There caused as you perform the task on a running system and opened files could not be touched.

Cannot burn cd's from itunes - frustrated to say the least

I have created a playlist from cd's of my own and a few from itunes. I bring up the playlist and click on the burn cd circle and it asks to "insert a blank cd". After I do so and close the door it then says "checking media". After a minute or so it spits the cd out for a few seconds and the cd door closes again and then nothing. I tried to change the burn speed to 4 and it did nothing. I've tried to use different cd's. I've updated all drivers to no avail. It worked one time before after several attempts, but that's it. Does anyone know what the heck is going on?

No storage space purchase more still cannot download movie fro. Itun

Cannot down load movie from I tune not enough space I have 25 gb. 24 -available

You apparently additional storage space on iCloud. You need additional storage space on your iPad.
How much free space do you have? You'll probably have to delete some files.
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Cannot Burn or import music from itunes

every time i open itunes i get a pop up that tells me that i must reinstall itunes before i will be able to burn or import music.
i have gone round and round with tech support trying to figure out why i can no longer burn discs. i was told that my internal cd/dvd drive must have gone bad and that i needed a new one. i went and purchased one, an external drive, and STILL CANNOT BURN OR IMPORT MUSIC! I can copy CDs and DVD from my internal drive so i now know that my drive is not bad and that the issue is not with my computer it is with itunes. my question is how do i get itunes to recognize that i do infact have a working drive? and if i cannot burn music from itunes how can i get it somewhere else on my computer so i can?
i am SO fed up with itunes and am about to just give up on it completely!
please help! ANYONE!!!
