Unable to burn cds-2nd time submitting this questions- No answers last time

Ever since upgrading to version 6.?? unable to burn CD's. Just upgraded to 6.02 now I can't burn a CD or DVD!!
I have upgraded firmware on DVD drive DVD RW DUW 1608/ARR
but that didn't help.
I went into the FAQ section of AOPEN website and found a post that says unfortunately Itunes does not support that drive!!!
Any suggestions?
The drive does show up when I click the burning tab in Itunes (which is what Itunes says indicates whether or not the drive is supported)
Aopen   Windows XP  

Hey people, I'm in the same boat...no burn, it just freezes.
And no support from apple after many posts.
But...I've seen something weird. After replacing my mouse the CD burner came back to life...no problems at all.
That lasted one day...now back to freezing. (???)
A question for all of you....do you have MUSICMATCH Jukebox installed on your PC? I do and I believe itunes is conflicting with it. If you open Musicmatch and turn the volume in Musicmatch down, then close Musicmatch, you cannot get the volume back up in itunes. Also, MusicMatch now freezes just like itunes and cannot burn. I do have a CD-rom and my "LG"CD/DVD-Burner on (1) IDE cable...could that be the problem? It wasn't before I upgraded...???
The only other thing I've done besides upgrading itunes(big mistake) was download keyboard controls from Microsoft for a non Microsoft keyboard(no support from the OEM)...but the controls now work fine on the keyboard.
How can I go back to the previous iTunes revision? Where can I find it? Maybe that will work?

  • Missing drivers, unable to burn cds

    When I click on iTunes to start it up, it gives me an error message saying drivers are missing and I'm unable to burn cds. It tells me to reinstall iTunes. I have done so 5 or more times. I don't know what's up!

  • Unable to burn CDs

    Hi;
    I have just installed iTunes on a new WIN 7 64 bit computer and I am unable to burn CDs. When starting iTunes I get the message that I need to re-install iTunes to fix the problem. I have done that but still does not solve the issue, Also installed the GEAR driver as suggested in another thread.

    Thanks for any help

    Thanks for the quick response I went to the device manager and did what you asked and no change in performance,but in the drop-down of the DVD/CD Rom Drive the next file? of HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T2ON ATA DEVICE on the icon there is a pyramid with the yellow exclamation point inside??. I've tried to update the drivers but Microsoft says that they are up to date. It seems that my Windows Media Player does not know or recognize that I have an internal CD burner because on the side box where you are to drag songs to burn, the message of "Connect a burner and restart the player". As you can tell I am not very computer literate so any help will be greatly appreciated. How can I tell if the CD/DVD player is just broken?? Thanks so much.

  • Unable to burn CDs on MacBook Pro

    HI,
    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I am unable to burn CDs. When I try to burn an Audio CD it starts burning and suddenly aborts saying that there is a medium write error. I also tried burning in Toast Titatinium and had the same problem. I then tried to burn an mp3 data cd directly using the finder and draging files to the CD folder. It also had a problem saying that the device was unable to calibrate the burning power. I have been using Sony CD-R that look pretty good quality and my burner (as my computer) is brand new.
    I don't know what to do. I'm a DJ and I bought this computer thinking that it would easily allow me to work with music and that I could easily import and burn, and that certainly has not been the case. I had to ask a friend to burn some urgent music and my CDs and files burned fine in his PC. I just switched to Mac myself but my experience hasn't been too good this far.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I would take it up with Apple since the computer is under warranty. It sounds highly possible that you have a bad optical drive. Please don't mistake this as a "diagnosis" from another user, but just a recommendation of what to do based on the circumstances you've described in your post.
    Good luck.

  • Matshita DVD-R UJ 857-E (unable to burn CDs but reading DVDs and CDs)

    I have had the macbook and burner for about three years.
    I am unable to burn cds. When I attempt to do so in iTunes or Toast the error message reads "please insert a recordable cd". I have used the same cds to burn on other computers so I believe this is a problem with my drive and not the cds I'm trying to record to.
    I am able to burn DVDs in Toast.
    Any ideas? I'm looking for a driver right now...

    I truly believe this is a software issue. I changed the system settings of the CD/DVD (system profiler) of "when inserting a blank CD to 'open finder' " ( u can use 'ask me' but I didn't have that option) instead of opening iTunes. Once the CD was mounted I was able to burn to the disk in iTunes as well as iPhoto. I was unable to that when I just inserted the disk from the program when prompted.

    That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

  • Problem with opening iMovie 2 projects in iMovie 5I submitted this question

    I submitted this question some time ago and had some interaction with Lennart Thelander but it was never resolved. I didn't explain my question in as much detail as perhaps necessary to understand what happened, so I will try again.
    I was using iMovie 2 for years and created many projects consisting of portions of clips split and moved around, audio, titles, transitions, the works, all dragged into the timeline and saved. Earlier this year I got iMovie 5 HD. When I opened one of my iMovie 2 projects, this message appeared:
    "The project “home again home again” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
    I assumed that this could only make for improvement of the project, so I hit OK. When the project opened, the clips were now all exactly "9:28" in length (i.e. 10 minutes), and all the original breakdown of components (above-mentioned) was lost. It seems that iMovie 5 simply flattened the iMovie 2 project and broke it into 10 minutes segments.
    My main question is whether there is any way to restore the original movie in its previous fom, with all the component parts. If I want to use any of those video clips in another movie, I need the original clips, which iMovie 5 seems to have flattened and essentially destroyed.

    Hi
    There are two levels of problem here
    A. How to Copy Event's and Project's to external hard disks
    - CAN NOT BE DONE - via DeskTop/Finder - must be done within the iMovie application
    - The external hard disk must be - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - do not work for Video
    B. Regarding Audio and photos used in Movie Project's
    - There is NO Copy of them (or video) in Your Project.
    - The Project is no movie at all - it is just a small TEXT document pointing to where material is stored and howto it's supposed to be presented as the Movie You are making.
    IF Audio and Photos are not copies over to the external hard disk - and in Your movie introduced from this new storage - the new Mac can not find and connect to this material. It just don't work.
    To move
    • iTunes
    • GarageBand
    • iPhoto
    Libraries to the external hard disk - so that the New environment will find and connect to is - has never worked for me.
    I maker a dedicated folder and put copies (of audio and photos etc.) into this - and when copied over to external hard disk - re-import them (one at a time) into my movie project. Now iMovie on second Mac will know what and where to look for it/them.

  • My machine has gone dead slow. I have to wait for minutes to perform every single function. Like it stopped typing four times during this question.

    My machine has gone dead slow. I have to wait for minutes to perform every single function. Like it stopped typing four times during this question.

    If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the boot drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run the Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics.
    Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

  • Rented film, fully downloaded (eventually) press play now then screen goes to authorizing, then goes black blank, no film , repeated process 3 times, still no joy. first and last time I rent a film with Apple, how do I get my money back ? Thanks

    Rented film from Apple TV  fully downloaded (eventually) press play now then screen goes to authorizing for 10 mins, then goes black blank, no film , repeated process 3 times, still no joy. first and last time I rent a film with Apple, how do I get my money back ? Thanks

    First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion.  To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4.  What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
    Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content.  Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems.  You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults.  A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
    Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install.  If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

  • Unable to burn CDs -- can't burn at this speed

    My superdrive suddenly no longer will burn CDs. I get an error message that "the drive cannot burn at this speed" and this is no matter what speed I try! Even 2X get's this message.
    I upgraded to iTunes 5.0. Can this be the problem? I am using 10.2.x and hate to invest in whatever the latest OS is if that isn't the solution. Any one have any ideas?

    Hi
    I have a similar problem.
    I get this error message :
    "Itunes can't burn teh CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media
    Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of itunes preferences then try burning again"
    The problem is that I have just burnt a few CD's and then gone back to burn another...In the interim the only thing that has happened is that the laptop has gone to sleep.
    It is the inconsistency that bugs me plus the fact that surely that one could design it so you got the warning before wasting CD's or it automatically adjusted to the drives speed
    I am running itunes 5.0.1 on OSX 10.3.9 on a G3 ibook 600mhz 14.1

    This thread talks about error 2131 and Dell computers. About 3/4 of the way down someone posts a link to a firmware download that seems to solve the problem for a lot of people. Maybe it will help you too.
