Superdrive failing do copy music onto macbook and burn to CD-RW cds

My Macbooks superdrive is failing to import songs from cd, in the processing of doing it, it just stops and doesnt continue..also I always get a error message when buring music on to CD-RW discs, is my superdrive broken?

My superdrive fails to load/play CDs similar to the above complaints. The CD is inserted and I can hear the drive "rev up" about 3 times and then ejects the CD. Strangely enough, this is sporadic. Out of a total of 10 CDs I tried today, I was able to successfully import about half of them...and some after trying the same CD several times. I was having this problem for more than a month and took my MacBook to the Genius Bar at our local Apple Store for replacement. They replaced it and before I left the store put in a DVD which worked fine. Of course, I didn't think to have them try a music CD. I have another appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow. I'll keep you posted if there is another solution.

  • I have tried and failed to copy my iTunes library and playlists from my Windows 8 desktop to my Windows 7 laptop using an external hard drive. Can it be done? Help would be appreciated.

    I have tried and failed to copy my iTunes library and playlists from my Windows 8 desktop to my Windows 7 laptop using an external hard drive. Can it be done? Help would be appreciated. I have followed instructions found online but the library of music doesn't pull in.  Thanks!

    Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • I have an itunes account.  However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own.  How do I do that?  Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

    I have an itunes account.  However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own.  How do I do that?  Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

    An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service.  Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
    iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time.  You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
    If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113  and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
    I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario.  It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do.  Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

  • I downloaded new music onto itunes and it plays just fine but when i sync it to my ipod 4th gen. it wont sync. They greyed out when i click "on this ipod"

    I downloaded new music onto itunes and it plays just fine but when i sync it to my ipod 4th gen. it wont sync. They greyed out when i click "on this ipod". Help me?

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync or delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • PROBLEM WITH COPYING ITEMS ONTO MACBOOK AIR VIA FLASH DRIVE

    I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS MACBOOK AIR AND I'M ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE MOVING/COPYING ITEMS FROM A FLASH DRIVE ONTO THE MACBOOK. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!! THANK YOU!

    I'm sorry about the caps. I realized that I was typing with my caps lock on, and was too lazy to rewrite this. The thing is that when I try to copy pictures, videos, and music onto my macbook via flash drive, it says it's copying but then when it's finished, the library goes blank. There's no error message with it; my folder goes completely blank.

  • TS1363 Is there any alternative to iTunes for copying music onto an iPod? I am sick to the back teeth of Apple and I am really getting annoyed at having to uninstall and reinstall iTunes every few weeks.

    I have iTunes on 2 PCs, one running Windows 7 pro, the other running Windows 8. I also have 2 iPods which show up in Windows but not iTunes. Every time this happens I have to delete and download iTunes again, losing my library (nearly 10,000 tracks) in the process. I have had enough of Apple and their crap software as this problem has happened to me on previous computers as well and I think iTunes is crap. Is there some alternative I can use instead of iTunes to put music on my iPods?

    If you have an iPod touch you could probably use DropBox.

  • Can't copy music between Mac and Windows

    Here's my configuration:
    PC: Windows 7, Itunes 10.7
    Mac: 10.6.8, Itunes 10.7
    Both are on the same minor release, 21
    The behavior I'm observing:
    I use Home Sharing from both computers, using the same Apple ID on both.
    On the PC, I can see the Mac's music library, and I can copy items from that library to the PC. I cannot copy an item from the PC to the Mac
    On the Mac, I can see the PCs library listed, but when I click on it, it acts as though it's making a connection, but the connection never completes.
    I have attempted to do this with two separate Apple IDs. This worked just fine before the iTunes 10.7 installation.
    Any thoughts on what might be going on?

    Yes, both are authorized.
    I tried exporting the "Library" on the PC (that's where 95% of the tunes are) and imported them onto the Mac and only the tunes that are resident on the Mac show up in the imported list. It does show ALL the playlists but like I said, only those songs that are already resident on the Mac show up.

  • Help - copying music onto computer then onto my N9...

    Any advice please.
    What do you find is the best programme to do this? on our comp we have roxio, realplayer, itunes, windows media player and nokia music tool and i don't know which is the best and easiest to use.

    I use Windows Media Player 11.
    Or just use File Tranfer (mass storage) and use Windows file explorer to copy your files to the phone.

  • Can you copy music to an iPhone from a shared library?

    My main iTunes library is held on my iMac, but it's location means that it's not that convenient for me to use it as the primary computer to administer my iPhone with.  I also have a Macbook Air which I'd like to use to administer the phone, but it's only a 128Gb model so don't want to fill it or waste storage by duplicating my music library. 
    The Macbook is connected to the iMac's music library using home sharing, but does anyone know that if I set the phone up on the Macbook, would I be able to copy music onto it from the shared library, or am I restricted to that which is on the local Macbook library.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Computer crash/freeze when copying music from CD

    Whilst copying music onto iTunes from a CD to later download onto my iPod, all runs fine until there is a problem with one of the tracks on the CD, (say a scratch or some of the information cannot be read by iTunes.) My computer then freezes/crashes there is nothing I can do, even Ctrl/Alt/Delete to get Windows Task Manager up will not work, so I have to switch off my machine and reboot. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem or is it a problem with the iTunes program?

    Thanks, this was my first visit to Apple store so I'll try iTunes as you suggested.
    Re: - ‘it might be the CD,’ no, I thought of that but it happens on all CD's I put in even brand new ones. I've solved some of the problem as instead of downloading the whole CD, I can download one track at a time and as long as I let the computer stop 'running' within the program before I download the next track all is fine, but very time consuming.

  • Flash Builder fails to copy over static files in incremental compiles

    During incremental compiles, the Flash Builder fails to copy over certain static files (such as *.js and html files).  I have my own html wrapper and during incremental compiles it fails to copy over this file and also deletes the file from bin-debug/bin-release.  I have to do a clean build instead to ensure these files are copied over.

    Just tried this out on an IIS server with Flash player 10.3.181.14 - it worked.
    Are you using the release version of Flash Builder 4.5 with the release version of Flex SDK (not a prior SDK build)?
    The URL you mentioned gives me a 403 forbidden error.
