Tired of wasting blank cd's.

No matter what I do (changing formats or speeds etc) burned CD-R's (downloaded albums from iTunes) won't play in my car or mini hifi.
I have looked at the various suggestions and am about to resort to burning from windows laptop rather than my Mac.

Here are some articles from Apple support  - note the underlined statement - do wish Apple would setup manuals in PDF so you could download and browse the pages to find what you are looking for - on-line such a pain.

Important:   You can’t burn movies and TV shows purchased from the iTunes Store to a DVD or VCD that plays in a DVD player or to a Video CD.

  • Yea my iphone charger broke again and this is about the 7th timeits happened and im getting tired of wasting my money on new chargers... I dont rip the charger out, i take good care of it. I dont get why it keeps breaking?

    This is about the 5th time its broken and i take really good care of the charger. Im tired of getting new chargers, does someone have any ideas on how to fix it or how to not spend $30 on a new charger? HELP PLEASE!!!

    why would you be buying new chargers?  The charger that came with your phone is warrantied for a year, just like the phone.  Bring the defective cable or charger to Apple for replacement.

  • ITunes no longer burns discs

    Hi, I came here in support of a new issue that has arose.
    Heres the scoop: I have already created a playlist, click burn disc. It starts up fine as it has no errors when creating the disc. It then initializes, and says that it is burning the first track. However here is where the problem arises.
    The status bar never moves, its just keeps saying burning the first track. The drive is spinning, sounding like it is burning regularly. So I let it sit for a while, come back, still the same exact place and the drive spinning like its burning. So I then click cancel after about 30 min. Of course it doesn't cancel, or won't eject so I force quit iTunes, and the disc stops spinning.
    Then, once it quits, the disc starts spinning again and appears on the desktop, and iTunes reopens. The disc shows the right amount of tracks and the correct times, but when I go to play them, its just no sound.
    I then try it again after restarting, and I get the same result. I even try changing the disc burn speeds and still the same result. Now I'm tired of wasting cds so I've come for help.
    Some other details: I have recently updated to 10.5, before that I have been able to burn cds in iTunes with no such problem. Also, whenever I try burning unsuccessfully, more and more of my hard drive space gets eaten up and doesn't come back even when quitting iTunes until I restart. The drive is a dvd writer, but isn't factory installed, in the past versions of X I had to use patch burn to burn from the ilife programs, but its no longer needed in 10.5.

    A friend this morning says that he thinks that iTunes has put a DRM (Digital Rights Management) code on any music that is imported into iTunes, whether it is purchased from the iTunes store, ripped off a commercial CD, or even copied from your friend's homemade CD, and that's why after some time is elapsed, you can no longer make a music CD from playlists in iTunes. He compared it to Rhapsody, which allows you to listen to your downloaded music as long as you still pay your monthly Rhapsody bill. Could this be true?!?! I can still make an MP3 disc, or backup my iTunes library to a DVD, but I can no longer make a music CD. Like others have described, iTunes starts the process, checks the playlist length, initializes the blank music CD, and then stalls, saying it is writing the first track, but will say that all day. One has to force quit iTunes to get the disc out. It shows the correct disc title and track names when inserted in a player with this capability, but all one hears is static-like noise when the disc is played.

  • HP DesignJet 500 and OS 10.4.6

    A few weeks ago, I upgraded from Mac OS 10.3 to OS 10.4.6 on an iMac G4. Ever since my upgrade, I have not been able to print custom sizes to my HP DesignJet 500+HPGL2. (FWIW, the printer is connectd with a USB cable, and the size I’m trying to print is 42” wide by 120” long.)
    I downloaded and installed the latest driver for OS X/DesignJet 500 from the HP site, but still nothing. At best, the printer just spits out the paper and cuts it off without making a single mark on it. At worst, the printer just ignores me.
    When I try to run the configuration utility (opening the print queue and clicking on “Utility”), the system prompts me to select a printer. BUT, the only option it gives me is the other printer connected to my Mac (a DeskJet 1220C).
    I’ve tried RIP programs (which did nothing) and selecting “Rasterize Print Output” (which spit out a full 120” of paper without a single mark). I’ve tried printing to Preview to avoid wasting paper, and it shows that the paper is completely blank.
    I can’t be the only person out there with this problem. Can anybody offer any suggestions? And if I can’t find an answer, does anybody know if it’s possible to downgrade from 10.4.6 back to 10.3?
    Thanks,

    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   DesignJet 500 + HPGL2

    I posted this message last week and figured I'd come back and post what I found over the weekend. I eventually ended up downgrading from 10.4.6 to 10.3.2 again... and losing about 2 weeks of e-mail in the process (even though I double-checked the location of the messages before downgrading). Unfortunately, the downgrade didn't fix the problem.
    By happy accident, I changed the size of my test doc from 42-in x 120-in to 18-in x 24-in. (Actually, I got tired of wasting 10 feet of blank paper every time I screwed up and printed with the wrong settings.) Eureka! It printed fine. It seems that even though the DesignJet 500 is supposed to print docs up to 150 inches long, there is an artificial limit of 109 inches on a Macintosh. It turns out that we've only used the printer for 9-foot jobs (108 inches) so far, but I didn't realize that because I'm not the primary user of this machine.
    Anyway, I've seen several discussion threads about problems between Tiger and the DesignJet 500/800, so I figured I'd post my findings here. Maybe this will save some other poor schmuck from spending a weekend in the office while his friends are at a pool party. At least I'm off the hook now. :o)

  • Burn failed because of "Medium Write Error."

    I've got a early '08 Macbook Pro running OSX 10.5.8 and iLife '09.
    I'm trying to burn a tracked podcast to a CD, and after getting through all the mixdowns and normalizing, it will burn for a short while and will "finish" the burn, eject the CD and come up with a "Burn Failed" message that says,
    "The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-867 drive failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error."
    This problem has just recently developed. I've done this many times in the past, but the last few CDs I've tried to burn have taken me four or five tries until I get a successful burn. I'm tired of wasting my CD-Rs!
    My drive reads both CDs and DVDs without a problem, and burns through iTunes without a problem.
    What's going on? Can I do anything to fix this?

    UPDATE!!!
    On suspicion as I am camera geek, (film maker)
    I know dust can do weird things, I took the blank part of the disc container, you know, usually solid color or clear and cut it into a gun shape and wrapped it in one of my fiber fine lens cloth.
    I gently inserted it to knock some dust loose, (think optical eye) be careful not to twist or shove to hard if resistance is met. did the old nintendo blow in the drive fromt the side and prayed.
    Went back to FCPX and re-shared to disc and....... Voila!!
    Burned several discs already. 
    Good luck if you have this.
    I suspect the dust from my over amped fans due to SMC fan control could have blown dust or hair on the optic and prevented it, (this is where apple listens close)
    Please advixe your "techs" to suggest compressed air or disc cleaners..although my disc cleaner did nothing.

  • Droid razr maxx keeps sending multiple messages

    My droid razr max keeps sending the same message over and over. The other day it sent the same one 20 times.  Also sometimes it sends blank messages. Is there a way to fix this?

    This problem is still persisting. In fact it is getting worse. We have called tech support multiple times. And nothing they have tried has helped. I am tired of wasting my time on the phone if it's not going to fix the problem. Something needs to be done now! This phone is a piece of garbage. You should not be allowed to screw over your customers by selling it to them. It is a nuisance to the owner of the phone and those they contact. Good thing most everyone that is texted from this phone has unlimited texting or you would be paying their bills for the ridiculous overages this would cause.

  • Webmail timeouts and lost mail

    I have seen several topics here  with people complaining that Webmail times out when they are composing outgoing mail, and lose it when they hit send. However, none of these existing posts seem to have valid fixes or responses, and they all seem to be locked down to prevent new comments, so here is my two cents:
    1. I have absolutely experienced the same thing. I've finally gotten into the habit of composing e-mail in an external editor, because I am sick and tired of wasting time recomposing lost e-mail.
    2. The Verizon FAQ states two, contradictory policies, both of which are inaccurate:
    http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Setup+And+Use/QuestionsOne/121965.htm:
    Does Webmail time me out?
    Webmail does not timeout due to inactivity.
    http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Setup%20And%20Use/QuestionsOne/123344.htm
    Does Webmail time out?
    Due to security reasons, Webmail Basic does timeout after 20 minutes of inactivity. However, messages that were being composed before your session timed out will be saved in the DRAFTS folder.
    The first one is outright wrong. Webmail absolutely, positively DOES time out.
    The second one is wrong, at least in some circumstances. I have no doubt that this is their desired policy, but like many other customers, I'm here to tell you that under at least some circumstances, Webmai-l times out in as little as 5 minutes, and in these same circumstances, IT DOES NOT SAVE YOUR COMPOSED E-MAIL TO THE DRAFTS FOLDER. It simplay takes you to the log in screen, and when you log back in, your text is irretrievably gone. Verizon Webmail has not auto-saved anything for me in at least a year.
    3. I have a theory as to what is going on here, and I am testing it today. Maybe one or two other folks can try this, too. I will report back whatever I find:
    I access Webmail through an old bookmark which is defined as http://netmail.verizon.net/webmail/driver?nimlet=deggetfolder
    However, I notice that if I login fresh from www.verizon.net and navigate to Webmail, I GET DIFFERENT SESSION COOKIES THAN I DO FROM THE ABOVE BOOKMARK. For example, I get a cookie called -_WL_AUTHCOOKIE_VZCSESSIONID which is not present when I log in using the old bookmark.. There are a couple of other variations, but this seems the most suspicious.
    So, my theory is that those of us who often lose composed e-mail after ridiculously short time outs, are logging in from old bookmarks, and that things changed underneath us at some point during a Verizon Webmail update. I am going to try  usng Webmail today from a fresh login, after first clearing out all my existing Verizon cookies, and see if this results in longer sessions without timing out, and saved messages when it does time out.

    Oh, and don't even get me started on SEARCH for text within a message. This has never worked, from Day One.
    All I ever get is "We were unable to perform your request. Please try again." SEARCH on header text, like Sender and Subject works fine, but apparently Verizon QA has never tested the other options on large mail inboxes.
    I'm pretty forgiving and undersrtanding of minor glitches and shortcomings in software, but Verizon Webmail is one of the most unreliable utilities that I've ever encountered from a large company with a huge customer base.

  • Anyone know how to find out availability with AT&T stores?

    The city I live in does not have an Apple retail store. The nearest one is 2 hours away from me, and upon trying to get into that store saturday when I was in that city, I couldn't even get thru the door. On calling back Sunday I was informed not to waste my time driving back because they were nearing sold out.
    I have also been told that ALL of the AT&T locations (I have personally visited 3 and called a few) in the upstate of SC have sold out, and none of their reps seem to know when they will have more.
    I am honestly tired of wasting gas doing all of this driving trying to buy the new iPhone. Does anyone here know of any contacts that can give someone a heads up on what AT&T stores will be getting shipments, and when? Nobody seems to have any information at all, and I'm getting annoyed by the lack of knowledge by the people that are supposed to be selling me a $300 product and a serious update on my monthly bill.
    I simply just want to spend my money on this new iPhone and can't.

    They really have no idea. The person I delth with in ordering said they were told the 7-10 day estimate was probably longer than it would take. They said there was stock but they were only getting so many on launch day. Last year I did the same thing, order to have my order priority. It arrived the Monday after I ordered it, so I wouldn't be surprised if they do come this week sometime.

  • Kernel Panic Nvidia Quadro Pro 4000 CC14 MAC PRO 10.9.4 mavericks

    I get kernels panics constantly when using CC14 lightroom and photoshop.. And this is causing  me to loose thousands of dollars. I have searched for months have lost thousands of dollars in work, have trued to contact support only to be sent to community forums which i get no response...o
    THEREFORE.....
    Allow me to waste more time by contacting this unresponsive company.
    i  constantly get Kernel Panics when using CC14 associated with my NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2048  while using cc14 photoshop and lightroom since I updated to Maverick 10.9.4.
    I have been searching for fixes for months, i have updated everything, every driver,  and this has costed me THOUSANDS of dollars in pay i am unable to receive because my %^&* computer keeps crashing.
    Now i am pissed! I have consulted APPLE and  even after pushing me up to the top level.  they still read off a piece of paper. ! i just wanted to go back to osx before mavericks which i was having NO ISSUES but no one seem to have a clue at apple how to even turn one on.
    1. i am NOT doing a master restore and I NEVER had a problem before Mavericks and CC14!!!
    2. Every driver is updated every firmware is updated
    3. there is NOTHING RUNNING IN HTE BACKGROUND
    4. i did an smc and reset pram
    5. ran disk utility -- no problems
    6. searched for answers for months.
    7. and by the way..... photoshop cc14 does not save your work on a crash. it saves what you already saved
    I AM TIRED OF WASTING MY TIME TRYING TO GET ANSWERS WHEN I ONLY GET IGNORED.
    this is an issue with my nvidia quadro pro 4000 video card and -- adobe and - mavericks.
    MY system is high end, mac pro 5,1 Processor  2 x 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Late 2010 20 gig ram, quadro pro 4000 and an APPLE SSD TS512B
    solid state
    and i spent 10 gran on this system. I am a professional and this is my BUSINESS... my only income.  not a kid playing games.
    The video card was over a 1000.00!  Nvidia? ADOBE?
    This needs to be fixed. this is my livelihood

    Thanks for responding....of course I mean adobe. A community forum is NOT a company.
    I read the link to the thread and this person says an application CANNOT cause kernel panics -- well Apple begs to differ. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14063
    I have my own photography studio, ive spent over a half million dollars on my education (2 masters degrees) my equipment, and traveling the world to various workshops. I spend some evening researching new technology to stay on top of my craft but what I dont do and dont have time to do is follow forums regularly.
      Therefore i dont know that this person has repeatedly said the same thing over and over in different threads about applications causing KP.
    You suggested that I take my trouble shooting somewhere else...trust me this is not the first place ive tried to get answer.s I have been trying to resolve this issue since i updated to 10.9.4 and CC 14 and Nvidia Quadro pro 4000. It  has been months of phone calls research, forums, talking to anyone i know that knows anything and  I have lost thousands of dollars.  My digital lab ran perfect before the updates.
    so...... 
    First...I DISAGREE with the guy in the thread because what he wrote is just his opinion. It doesnt matter wjho he works for, it a person converses a fact with NO REFERENCES then it looses credibility.  I always include a reference when I make a statement to anyone
    second: as i said in my discussion -- i have done everything and the only time i get kernel panics is when using photoshop - nothing else running in the background, and the issue is with the video card drivers , 10.9.4 and photoshop and lightroom CC14.
    lastly; I know my video card is fine because Ive had photoshoots where i tethered (as I alwasy do) to Phocus software for my Hasselblad H4d and there is never a crash or kernel panic issue. ever.
    I ONLY GET KERNEL PANICS WHEN I USE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP OR LIGHTROOM  CC14 AND IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED SINCE I UPDATED TO 10.9.4 AND CC14
    apple told me to do a restore --  they were just reading  me what they were supposed to say.

  • Opening, closing, pushing apps

    My phone has been going crazy for over a month now. It would open apps on its own and it push anything and everything. When I first contacted customer service, they directed me to LG's customer service so they could just replace my phone. I sent it in and they said nothing was wrong with it. Well the issue continued and they told me to send it back in. I did. Apparently, they changed the LCD screen or something. It worked for literally 30 minutes then it continued to go crazy. I wouldn't even let me make calls or anything. I contacted them again, and they told me to send it back again. Well I asked for shipping labels this time and said it would take 24-48 hours to process.... Four days later. Nothing! I've been looking for all sorts of answers out there because I'm really trying to get my phone back to normal, I've only had it for less than four months. Its crazy. I have taken the battery out, reset it, restart it, EVERYTHING! And still nothing! If someone could please help?!?!? I'm tired of wasting money and time!!

    Mine is doing the same thing. It starts up about the same time everyday. It will go into all sorts of weird modes it will open and close the playstore it accesses my email it locks the mail screen. I cant open my texts or make calls or even receive calls. Now its showing all the weird things being googled..

  • HT201413 2 part question:  First how can I place/transfer files from itunes to an andriod device, second, why is it that EVERYtime I install an upgrade or reinstall old files saved on an external drive, the files get corrupted or songs shortened/ or don't

    Dear Apple Corps;
    I have an issue with your software on my PC and iPad, iPod, and shuffle!  Everytime I download and update or try to reinstall files after having my computer "scrubbed"  they either won't open, can't be found or work poorly.   WHY????  I have been through alot of this over the last 3 years, and I am tired of files safely and securely transferred becoming corrupted or unusable or just plain deleted.   Please come back with and answer.  I also have invested heavy into iTunes files downloaded from the iTunes store, so how can I safely store a remote copy(s), to reload onto my cleaned hard drive or to a new device Apple or PC????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
    Tired of wasted time manually loading files I should be able to use off a stored copy.

    Some strange glitch has erased every single unlocked & unprotected file on my C: drive. It wasn't a virus because I checked autorun records and running processes using the respective Sysinternals utilities and didn't find anything suspicious.
    I restored all data except for some system files and files that had "too long" of a path using shadow copies, which luckily for me were just a few hours old. Then, I decided to reboot into Recovery Environment and run System Restore from there. For even
    more strange reason, the available restore points in RE were dated November 2010 (it's May 2012 right now) and the recent save dates are nowhere to be found.
    To make matters worse, SFC doesn't work and Safe Mode shows BSOD after loading CLASSPNP.SYS.
    Error messages so far:

    What I need is a way to perform either an in-place upgrade without booting into Windows, or a way to fix the SXS Component Store, or rebuild the Safe Mode so that I could initiate upgrade install from there. A clean install isn't an option because I don't
    have the luxury of time to run through the reboot cycles when re-installing and updating other software (I'm using Windows 8 CP for now as my work tools are mostly in the cloud).
    It is not possible to do a repair install of a system unless you can boot to the system.
    Have you checked the hard drive for problems? - download the manufacturer's test utility, create the disk, and run the extended checks.

  • Can we build equity and acquire assets without banks while rebuilding credit??

    Hi.Thank you for taking a look at my post.  I hope we can help each other.  I have 3 goals for this post. 1 - to reach out to this community for opinions, leads, and hopefully contact info for private lenders who really do lend based on the asset and not focus on our marred credit. 2 - maybe members (and of course me) can find someone else on this site who is/are in similar situations and can put resources together to start making lots of money without the banks.  3 - just being honest...I simply need to vent my frustrations in a safe environment where I'm sure there are others who can relate :-) I am getting back into real estate fix & flip, rehab after several years of life altering events and recuperating from personal injuries.  I am not an agent or anything like that. I'm just really good at finding and negotiating awesome deals that I end up having to flip. I've worked my butt off to save and purchased one here and there but I need to find funding to get to the next level.  I joined this site because my credit is in repair and I'm working the information I read about in this forum.  Having gone from a high level of success to wondering how I was going to get from the bedroom to the bathroom,  I feel like this is the one place I can trust to put myself out there and get meaningful, non-judgmental peer-peer responses with solid pertinent information. Hence why I could use some opinions and hope to get some leads on lenders that might help me out.  With several properties under contract, I'll have to flip to other buyers at discounted values if I can't find a lender.  I've spoken with about 20 lenders who claim they are "private", "hard money", "Asset-based" commercial loans, investor driven, bad credit, blah...blah...blah...only to find out they really are just like dealing with a bank. I am not claiming to have great credit and I realize on paper I look pretty weak. However, the whole time they are making claims they are not credit driven...what do you think the first thing they want is...yup...credit scores!  Even though the numbers of the asset are very strong and purchased in an LLC. They all require full doc personal financials...the whole time they are saying they don't really judge you on credit....RIGHT! While these "direct lenders" and "private money lenders"  may not have to work under the federal bank lending regulations, THEY are not interested in anyone who doesn't meet THEIR rigid requirements.  Which in reality are exactly the same as the regular banks.  I have yet to find one lender that truly bases their decisions on the property asset without pulling credit, bank statements, etc.  They all will only lend a portion of what is needed (50 -75% LTV or LTC )based on the lowest value they can determine (Purchase price or appraisal which ever is lower) which means they have essentially no risk and the investor has to bring in a lot of cash. No difference. They are essentially all the same and just boast about being different. This is all fine if that is how they run their business. I am the last to judge them for that. However, I am tired of wasting my time talking to company after company making these claims but really won't put their money where their mouth is!!   I have also looked into a lot of the sites for peer-peer funding. In general they are all fantastic and serve a great purpose. Especially for kids and fundraising purposes. But I'm working on a business. On those sites, you really have to put your self out there on the front line and air your dirty laundry to the world in order to participate. I realize I could do that and tell my sad story and why I want people to invest in me and my project. Frankly, maybe I'm too proud or going about this all wrong but I'm just not ready to post my story to the world and ask my friends and family for handouts. I don't want people feeling sorry for me or my name all over the internet telling people my credit sucks (even though it isn't that bad now). Let's be honest - who posts on a peer-peer funding site for their own benefit if you have your financial life in order!! That said,  I'm sure none of us would be on this site if we didn't have or have had financial turmoil in our lives.  Who cares why.. it happens. Hopefully, we all realize that is not what defines us as people and we can all achieve our dreams like any one else.  It just might take longer, or a bit more work. You get the picture. So I thought, what if others on this site are experiencing the same things.  Do you feel like you are missing out on opportunities to make your money grow? Maybe you have improved your credit but don't have enough cash to get a loan. Maybe you can't get a loan because of credit  but you have cash. Maybe you can't get a bank account and are missing out on investment opportunities because your money is sitting under your mattress.  Seems to me people on this sight are all focused on the same thing and have the best interests of others in sight.  We also have this fantastic forum to discuss our money issues and glean insight and information from others that helps us improve our situations.  I'm wondering if we could partner up our strengths and find ways to benefit by working together with other like minded members.   You thoughts are of great value. Please post.

    Are you debt free? Do you have any cash to throw into this? If no... what about subbing out under someone else or getting in GCing or Foreman for a bigger company while you cleanup your personal finances? Real estate is AWESOME, but if you can't cashflow at least a good chunk of it, you can get in a pretty scary spot...  What kind of assets do you have? Could you flip your own home and use those monies to invest in your next flip and live as cheap as possible through a few flips until you have a good bit of cash built up? 

  • How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    Thanks for your reply but that's not my problem.
    I know that I can burn an M4A file to a CD and then import it back as an MP3, but that's an annoying process and wastes blank CDs.  I thought iTunes had a menu choice to convert a selected file to MP3 format.  I guess that's not true with M4A versions. 
    I will simply buy my music from Amazon from now on and I won't have to deal with this file format and protection nonsense.  I can download music from Amazon in MP3 format as the rest of my music is in.

  • I want to use my old iPhone 3GS as an Ipod. Nothing is working?

    I'm tired of wasting battery on my iPhone 4 to listen to music, so I wanted to use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod. I read you had to have a sim card inserted in the phone, regardless if it's activated. So I put the old one inside, but when I connect it to my computer, it won't charge, or sync with iTunes. It's definitely not my charger because both of my phones charge in a wall outlet, and my iPhone 4 charges through the computer. Just not the iPhone 3GS.... I'm going on vacations with long car rides and would like to use this. Help please!
