Trouble Burning in iTunes
Hi All:
I am having problems when burning a disc in iTunes. I get a message stating that this or a number of songs cannot be burned unless the computer is authorized thru Mac. The authorization IS turned on. The discs were imported under Apple LossLess type and I was told that this a type of write protection. hmmm.. I have burned other discs with this type of import with no problems. Also, I've tried to convert the files to AAC with no luck. It gets to the very end of the conversion process then I get an "unspecified error code -208" and the conversion quits.
Oh yes..tech support implied that we purchased the music from the iTunes store (hence the need to authorize), but these song were imported from my original disc.
I am already burning at a slow speed and have no issues with the media I am using. It works fine on the iBook.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I did notice, tho that the name and extension has the songs listed as .m4a while the kind in the play list is Apple Lossless.
Apple Lossless files have the .m4a extension.
try this:
in finder, right-click on your iTunes music folder and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
try burning a CD again.
if you have e.g. Toast installed, you might want to give burning a CD with that app a go.

Burning Purchased iTunes Songs...
Hi there,
As I have noticed on these boards, many people (as am I) are having trouble burning purchased iTunes songs onto CD's. For about three and a half hours, I tried just about everything to fix this- but no luck. Is there any downgrader to jump back to a previous, working edition? Thanks.

Found aspi32 running.Having similar issues here, but iTunes (6.0.2) doesn't crash. When trying to burn an audio CD (purchased from Music Store) iTunes will act like it is initializing, start burning and then all of a sudden it will finish burning (after 1st song) and then eject the cd (after a minute of sitting there). Message about "attempt to burn disk failed...device failed to respond, unable to recover or retry". I can burn other playlists, just not purchased songs from iTunes.
Any thoughts?

Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?
Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?
sometimes it will say checking media, then it will do nothing!Look around for more posts about this. There are TONS. I'm guessing you have upgraded to the newest Itunes. Which apparently makes you CD burning fail! Itunes needs to fix this problem but so far they haven't. I think there are little things that you can do to maybe fix it but I'm not sure so look around for other posts about this same kind of thing, anything along the lines of CD's not burning and error 4280. I wasted 5 CD's trying to get past this error thinking it was my CD's fault.

Hello, I am having trouble burning CDs from itunes keep getting error message 4450? Help
The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
I am having trouble burning a gapless album that is a mixed compilation. I have selected part of compilation album on the options tab and I did select gap between songs as zero. When I play the cd back after burning, it is sticking between songs? Please help!

Thanks Chris but according to Pioneer, is was possible with the itunes in 2010.
It wasn't. (at least as far as setting Part of Gapless album goes. See next para.)
They claim that itunes will work if you select gapless album, part of a compilation
Selecting Gapless album does not make it gapless. (which is likely that now this option is removed - to not confuse people)
The ONLY thing that option did was tell iTunes to NOT crossfade consecutive songs from same gapless album IF you had crossfade enabled.
-> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1797
Setting the gap to 0 is what made it "seem" gapless.
Perhaps it is not working as it used to.
Try a slower burn speed.
and used itunes to convert them to mp3
Dont know why they suggest this.
Simply use the WAV file. Then there will be no loss (as there is when converted to MP3). -
I tried to burn an MP3 CD with iTunes 12.0.1 unter OSX 10.10 Yosemite. I can not start the burning process from the settings window with the button "Burn Disc" (in German "Brennen"). It's marked blue (Default / Go), but when I click it, nothing happens. The "Cancel" button works.
It took me a while to find out that I can start burning by pressing the Enter key.
Is this a UI/software bug?

Hello. I'm having trouble burning a movie in iTunes. I purchased the movie and it plays on the computer, but I'm having trouble burning it onto a DVD. Not sure what type of DVD (-R, +R...etc) to use. Please help???? Thanks, Steve
You can't burn a purchased movie or TV show to a DVD thta can be read in any home player due to the protection on the file. You are only allowed to burn a data disc for backup purposes. This is by request of the major motion picture studios, not Apple.

When selecting a playlist, the browse button is supposed to change to the Burn button. This is not happening. Also, while playing with it, I somehow inadvertantly messed up the top display which used to show the playlists. Now I just have a list of all files in Itunes, no ability to select playlist, genres etc at the top.
I am also having trouble burning but dont know how to find an answer...When I try to burn a playlist it ejects my new c.d. and says its not blank so I insert it again and it burns all the way through until it is on the finalizing stage then I get the blue screen and my computer shuts down? I dont get it?!? This is a 2 month old laptop and I have the latest version of Itunes. I have tried different brands of c.d.'s. Can anyone help?

I have some old cd's I have burned onto itunes. Howcan I copy them to my iphone without using the cloud? I donot want to mess with my cloud settings because I am a technophobe. Please be gentle
Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.
