Trouble playing back burned cds created from itunes

I'm going crazy trying to figure this out so any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED!! I've imported several cd into itunes and burned them onto a CD-R. The tracks show up and the cd will play on my computer but, will not play on my stereo system. The tracks are aif files and I've made sure I've selected Audio cd in prefrences. I've burned many cds with my old Mac and they played fine on my stereo, car, etc. but, since buying my new G5, I haven't been able to listen to a burned cd from this system? Any solutions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey, I've had my iMac Intel Duo for a week now and previously used iTunes on my PC. My car stereo has always had problems playing my CD-R burned cds from iTunes (both PC & now iMac). I drive a 2001 Audi A4T with it's original cd/radio. My husband and son however have ALWAYS been able to play any of the cds I burned from iTunes successfully. Currently running iTunes V 6.0.4.3 and it was just today that I was successful burning a playlist that my car stereo could read. I just kept trying all different brands of cds until one finally clicked; and in this case was an imation CD-R 700MB/80MIN. Good Luck. (I truly don't believe it's the burner......)

  • Having troubles playing back songs from imported CD

    Ok, I imported a CD using the the button on the top righ corner. It seemed to go very fast, which I found odd. Now I go to play the songs that I imported, and it just cycles through them. It does not play them, It just goes from one to the next. The CD works fine in my car, so that is not the problem. I also burned this CD from iTunes not too long ago, so it should be the right format. I'm stumped.

    Anytime iTunes starts skipping songs like the way you have explained means either the file is corrupt or in a format it can't understand. If the files are MP3's you can try playing them in Windows Media Player. If media player can play them from start to end, then iTunes has some issue with them. I say play them from start to end cuz I had a problem with iTunes skipping songs and would play in Windows Media, but when Media player got to the end of the song, it sounded all weird and poppy with a mix of some other song I never heard. thats when I knew the file was corrupt and that was the reason iTunes wouldn't touch it

  • When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player?  I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

    Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them.  When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in.  Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing.  So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it.  Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

  • I cannot burn a CD from iTunes...please help!

    I desperately need to back up all the music I have purchased and I cannot burn a CD from iTunes for some reason. I went through the trouble-shooting on this website and still had no luck. I tried to load the songs into my iPod and transfer them to my laptop iTunes as a backup but there's no way all my music will fit on my Nano. So I'm wondering if there's any other way to back up my music files...can I copy them to a zip drive or external hard drive? I am so not tech-savvy and I have so much money invested in my iTunes library. Thanks in advance!

    Here's a link to the list of iTunes forums:

    Don't worry about it, it's no big deal, I just wanted you to know that in the future you may get more help in there.

  • Trouble playing back videos on my iPod touch

    I recently started having trouble playing back video on my iPod touch. I have the most recent versions of iPod software, iTunes, and Quicktime. The video podcasts sync just fine but only play audio...no video. I basically get the first frame of the video and that's it. I have tried restoring the iPod, resetting it, deauthorizing/reauthorizing my iMac (using Leopard), etc. Nothing works. Interestingly, my wife has a nano and she suddenly cannot sync videos even though it was working fine just 2-3 weeks ago. These are basic m4v files that are downloaded from iTunes, so they should work. I believe this started after the last iPod software update but I can't be certain. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Try starting video playback under the video section-not the audio section.

  • How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

    I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

    If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.

  • Backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

    Help! My husband backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone from my library! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

    Hello Nataroo007,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    There is a file in the iTunes library folder that contains your playlist information is the iTunes Library.xml file.
    Try and find the file, usually located in one of these locations depending on your OS:
    Operating System
    Default location of iTunes Folder
    Mac OS X
    /Users/[your username]/Music
    Microsoft Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    \Users\[your username]\Music\
    Microsoft Windows 7
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\
    Then you can import this file to your iTunes Library like this:
    1. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
    2. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file
    3. Windows users: Click Open.
    If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.

    I have Windows 7 on a Dell.  Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2).  Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode.  This has worked for me.  I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc.  These ideas did not work.  Compatability mode works.

  • I want to be able to sync things from my ipod to itunes.  I had albums get corrupted in itunes but still good on my ipod. Now I want to add to my iphone.  all from CDs, none from itunes.

    I want to be able to sync things from my ipod to itunes.  I had albums get corrupted in itunes but still good on my ipod. Now I want to add to my iphone.  all from CDs, none from itunes.

    The sync process with iTunes is only one way, which is from iTunes to the iPod.  You'll need another way of copy content from your iPod back to your PC.

  • Im trying to burn a cd from itunes, I keep getting a message that says "the attempt to burn a CD failed because of a medium write error" any help would be appreciated

    hello, I'm trying to burn a playlist from itunes to a cd, but I keep getting a message saying "the attempt to burn a CD failed because of a medium write error" can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm not so tech savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    I'm not familiar with this error, but check the following:
    -Is your disc a CD or a DVD? You want a CD, not a DVD.
    -Is the CD blank? You'll want a blank one.
    -Maybe the disc is scratched and cannot be used. Try another CD.
    -Maybe your disc burner is broken. If you have another, try it.

  • I can't burn a cd from Itunes.

    I can't burn a cd from Itunes....If I try to burn a playlist it says i need multiple cd's and I only have 5 songs on that playlist. If I try to burn it anyway it doesn't do anything.

    BTW have tried two kinds of disks, one kind of which I have a burned playlist from last year so I don't think it is the disks.

  • I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

    I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

    Hello Sonni,
    It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:
