Track Will Not Burn From i Tunes

- I have one track on an album in iTunes that will not burn to cd because it is not authorized.  The rest of the album will burn fine.  The track will not play on iTunes or my iPod.
- My computer is authorized and long has been.
- I did not buy the track from iTunes.  I burned the entire album as one set from the original commercial 2-cd set.
- Unlike the rest of the tracks, the one in question says "unavailable" in the track time (length).
- OS X 10.8
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thank you!

Whether your computer is authorized or not shouldn't have anything to do with being able to play your own music, added from a CD. 
When you check the path Musuc > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music is the track you want showing up? You could try moving it to another folder, then re-importing it to iTunes.
You should also try opening it with another media player just to make sure the data hasn't been corrupted - though it's probably an iTunes problem.
The obvious other thing is to try and add the track directly from the CD if you have it around.

    my DVD will play DVD's but will not burn from FCP also the Finder does not recognize when I load a black DVD

    You need DVD burning/Authoring software.
    EIther iDVD or Roxio Toast or try freeware burning software Burn for OS X.
    iDVD is no longer available, but the last complete version that still works comes with Apple's iLife '09 apps.
    You would need to search for this on online sites like Amazon to see if you can still purchase.
    You install the iDVD app and all the authoring themes by doing a custom install of the disc and ONLY installing the iDVD app and iDVD themes.
    Here are a few copies of this for sale on Amazon U.S. site.

  • Drive will not burn from itunes keep getting error...

    Hi. When i try to burn from itunes i keep getting error " Attempt to burn to disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    I have looked this up and seems to be a problem for a lot of people yet apple seem to be ignoring it from what i have read. I have reset ram it worked once but never since even after resetting it again. So any ideas. Checked for updates noting. This is realy annoying now and i am losing faith in something i like. So apple get of your arse and sort this problem out.
    Cheers

    Hi martin wells1!
    Rather than blaming Apple engineers, have you contacted support to arrange service on the machine? Hardware problems, traditionally, don't fix themselves. But that's where technicians come into play as a means to resolve those hardware problems.
    If you get a "check engine light" in your vehicle, do you just drive around and wait for it to be fixed saying: "Man, I wish <insert car manufacturer> would fix my check engine light problem tonight."
    I've encountered a similar error message on one (of many) MacBooks that I've come across recently, a service call later and a replacement optical drive... problem resolved.

  • Toast will not burn from internal or external burner

    I just burned a batch of DVDs yesterday, then today when I started to burn a new project I heard a loud clumping noise. Then I received an sense error and medium write error. I did a little research on that and everything I read suggested a different brand of DVDs. So I tried that. I'm not getting an error anymore but toast is not even recognizing that I put a DVD in, it just keeps asking for a new blank DVD. I thought it was my external burner but it does the same thing when I switch from external burner to internal burner. Any suggestions? I am about to reinstall TOAST.

    There is a hardware problem with my LaCie, I sent it in to be fixed. I also had my super drive replaced now I am able to burn fine.

  • I Tunes 7.5 will not burn my discs (help!)

    Hi I have I tunes 7.5 and I have for the first time ever via i tunes tried to burn a playlist to disc. The playlist has a few songs i bought on the i tunes store site and some others are just from my CD collection. I know there is enough space to copy them all on the disc but when i click on burn disc my computer makes a burning noice but nothing actually happens. I even have sonic burning software and have tried that and even this way it will not burn and i am wondering if it is becuase some of the i tune songs have padlock icons next to them. Does this mean i cannot put them on audio cd even though I have bought them - surely not that is unfair! Can anyone help as i would really like to make some CD's. I am also unsure as to whether my car/stereo will actually play these "mp4" files? Any help would be great guys?.....

    I've got the same problem and can't find a fix...

  • I am trying to burn some cds from my playlist on itunes, but my playlist shows many of my songs in light print and says that it will not burn because it is not a file, these are all songs I have purchased quite a while ago, how do i get them to files?

    If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
    if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

    10.6.3. of what? What is telling you this?
    What preceded this? Were you attempting to update the phone to iOS 6? It can take quite a while.
    If the phone is running iOS 6, that requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac. Maybe that's what you're seeing...
    You really need to give us more information.

  • M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

    Hi,
    My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
    I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
    Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
    Just to note,
    The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
    (1) The hard drive failed.
    (2) The multidrive failed.
    (3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
    Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
    Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
    I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
    Best regards

  • I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

    I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

  • My itunes will not burn cd. telling me new burning software added may cause this

    I recently had Windows Vista put on my computer. I had Roxio put on it also. I tunes will not burn my playlist because of this. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes . this does not correct the problem. I tuunes is telling me there is no disc burner found.

    Hello bacovino,
    From what you describe it sounds like you are getting this error message when trying to burn a CD in iTunes even after uninstalling the iTunes application:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I recommend uninstalling not only iTunes but its associated softwares as well, as outlined in the following article:
    iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3299
    iTunes installs a device filter which helps it work with your optical drive. If this device filter is missing, you will see the message mentioned above. To resolve this issue, follow the steps below to reinstall iTunes and put the device filter back in place:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If the issue persists after re installing iTunes again, there is additional troubleshooting in the article that involves installing the device filter in Windows, which it walks you through.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • One song will NOT burn onto any cd

    up until now i have never encountered such a problem. one song that i purchased from iTunes will not burn onto a cd. i've never had troubles before with any other song, just this one. i've tried complaining to the itunes help but i got some lame answer that didn't help at all. could it be possible to have the itunes store allow me to download it again without paying for it, i think they let me download a corrupt song. why would they do that?

    My very strong advice is to give up. Certainly don't waste another second messing about with tags. I have not seen one scrap of evidence to suggest they have any effect.
    From my experience, the only chance you have of getting it matched is to alter the waveform of your track so that it matches that on the store. I assume that yours is a different mastering or something. I'm no expert, bit I'd guess that your chances of hitting on the right adjustments could be best expressed as zero.
