SuperDrive makes bad audio CD

My MBP is a 15" Core2 2.33GHz with Matshita UJ-875D drive, and it's been making bad audio CDs.
I'm using iTunes to make my CDs, and the CDs always play fine on my MBP. But as soon as I take those discs to my car or my older computers, they start to make static noises or skip. Usually the first few tracks would be fine, then start to get some noise on 5th track or so, then they skip like crazy past 10th track.
I take the same batch of CD-R and use my trusty old PB 12" 1.5GHz to burn the same music, and the CD worked great.
I'm hoping this is just a bad media issue (Fuji Film discs by the way), but seeing how my PB was not picky at all about blank discs I'm starting to wonder. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

From what i recall in these forums, the superdrive is really picky about CD models. Im using HP CD-R and they work fine. Its probably the type of CD you're using. And another way to prevent this is to not touch your computer at all while it burns, back in the old old old old old old old old old oldo ldo ld old days, remember when we had to basically not move the entire house we were in and let the burning soak up all the CPU% to get a good burn? XD. Id try a differant type of CD, just trade off some with someone else and test them.

Bad Audio Under My Profile in Leopard

I have an iMac G5 running 10.5.8. I recently bought some new speakers for my computer, hooked them up and found out the sound was really bad sounding (like underwater). At first I thought it was my speakers, but I plugged in my iPhone and it sounded great.
I have another user profile on my iMac, so I went into it and ran iTunes and the sound in there is great as well. Only under my profile, that it has the bad audio. I went through and looked if any third party sound enhancement software was installed and couldn't come up with anything. Also I turned off all the Equalizer and Sound enhancer stuff in iTunes.
This isn't just related to iTunes on my profile either but everything (Safari, Garageband, Games, etc).
Is there anyway I can get it to default settings without having to reinstall system software? My superdrive crapped out on me too so I can't use the Leopard disc anymore.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Since your problem is limited to one account it's probably due to something in <thathomefolder>/Library , It sounds like you may have checked the Audio folder there. The other place to check is the Preferences folder. Create a folder on your computer's Desktop to hold moved filed, then move anything that looks like it might involve your problem from the Preferences folder to the folder in the Desktop, log out and back in, the see if you still have the problem. If you do, put the moved file(s) back to the original spot.
If you don't see any files obviously related to the problem, you could then drag half the files in the Preferences folder to the folder on the Desktop, then repeat the process of logging out and back in and testing. If the problem still exists, put the moved files back, replacing any newly-created files. Then repeat with the second half of the files.
Once you've identified a group of files that affect the problem, note the first and last file in the group, move them back as well, then repeat the whole process with the new group by moving out the first half of the group, etc. With each cycle you'll be dealing with half as many files. Eventually you'll be able to identify the culprit.
It's possible that the problem lies in another folder within the Library folder. It would be a little trickier trying the approach above to items in the Library folder, but it might work. Another approach you might try is to copy folders from the Library folder of the other account to your main account. If you want to try that, I'd copy that account's entire Library folder to the "Shared" account by holding down an "option" key while you drag it. That will put that Library folder in a place where you can access it from your main account. As before, I'd save anything you're replacing until you're sure you haven't damaged anything.

Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
Hope I'm making sense...

Is there a way to make the audio continue when the page is turned?

Can I make the audio continue while a reader turns pages in iBook? With everything I've tried the music shuts off as soon as the page is turned. Thanks for any insight.

Latest: Working in Pages actually seems to work for this! Place the audio file in Pages (drag and drop works just fine), make sure the audio is inline (not floating) export Pages to ePub and run the Book Proofer . . . once you click to start the audio, the audio plays until the end, regardless of where you are in the book, it keeps playing. Minor victory because you loose a bit of the layout features that iBook Author has, but the audio now functions the way I was hoping.

Does anyone know how to separate a movie track from an audio track on the new Mavericks Garage band. It used to be very easy on the iLife 11 version. If anyone could respond ASAP I'd be grateful. I need to make an audio file from a video.

I urgently need to make some audio tracks from videos using the new 2013 GarageBand. In iLife11 Garageband, this was very easy. However, I cannot see how to do it in the new one. The alternative might be to revert to the iLife11 version, so does anyone know how to do this. It's extremely urgent since I need to produce these for a court custody hearing which will take place at 0800 GMT UK time on 31st October 2013. Please help.
Thank you.

When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

Is there a way to make the audio preview whenyou hold Control and slide the time handle the default?

Hello,
Is there a way to make it so that the audio preview that happens when you hold Control as you slide the Current Time Indicator handle is the default, so that you don't have to hold Control every time you slide it? It's gotten to where I'm holding Control anytime I slide that handle, so it would actually be quite convenient to be able to make the audio preview the default setting instead of requiring the holding down of Control. I searched in options but if it's there I must have missed it.
Thanks

No.

im hoping for some help as this is becoming frustrating!
and i am using a music file which has been downloaded!

At a minimum, you need MP3 and OGG audio files. If you don't have them, use the online converter below: http://media.io/
With an HTML5 doc type, your code should look like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 Audio Demo</title>

</head>
<body>
<p>This works in all modern browsers. </p>
<audio controls>
<source src="path/yourSong.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="path/yourSong.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
<p>Your browser doesn't support audio.</p>

When I make a audio recording, I miss the breathing before the first note using metronome click

When I make a audio recording, using count in metronome click, I miss the breathing before the first tone. I hear very abrupt the first tone. I like some environment before, the acoustic of the hall

So... if i understand what you are trying to achieve...
When recording sing a single short note (To actually start the recording and then wait a bar before you start actually singing your music.. You can then go back and edit out the single note leaving the ambience... and your breathing intact and recorded.

My iphone 5 has bad audio qualities when using the telephone properties: what solution was offered by apple or provider?

I have a new iphone 5 that has a very bad audio quality when using the basic telephone function. Both wen called or calling the conversation is either of quite poor quality or drops awau alltogether. The latter happens sometimes 5 times on a row during one conversation or better attempt to have one..:)
Who has similar problems and what has been the solution offered by apple or their provider?

I have the same issue with the following setup:
Garmin 2597LMT
iPhone 5
Motorola T605 bluetooth hardsfree system
I ended up disabling the nuvi bluetooth -- I don't subscribe to any smartlink services -- so I'll guess i'll go without Weather on the nuvi for now.

Superdrive Makes Intermittent Noises??

Hello everyone
I recently received a replacement powerbook G4 (thanks to our warranty), and they kindly upgraded me from the 1.5ghz to 1.67ghz with Superdrive.
Since I've had it, it seems that the Superdrive makes intermittent whirring/working noises without any discs in the drive. It's like a 2 second buzz with a light click at the end. It will also make occasional light "clicking" noises with input from a keyboard.
I was wondering if this was a "normal operating noise", or whether your power books don't do this. It's intermittent, like it was doing it earlier when I was writing, and now it stopped.... and here it goes again.
It's not super loud, but certainly noticeable. I'd just hate to put in another stupid service ticket after being without my last powerbook for 3 weeks.
The drive seems to be working normally, though it is quite a bit louder then the "combo drive" I've been used to.
Thanks for your help everyone!

It was the hard drive; This computer that was a replacement was a refurb and had major problems with it... it was returned for a full refund.
