Unable to burn purchased tracks to CDs - MP4 format

Has anyone solved this one? I have my preferences set to audio CD? I'm wondering if its because I am using CD RWs should I just try CD Rs?
If I cant burn the purchased music to CDs theres no point in buying from iTunes.

How are you trying to burn the tracks? Do you know that you need to create a playlist and burn it to CD rather than burn the tracks directly to CD?
Your purchased music is covered by DRM, so this restricts the number of times you can create a CD with your purchased tracks. You can only burn the same playlist to CD up to seven times. If you've already burned your purchased album then you'd be better making a copy of the CD you've already created.

HT4539 Unable to burn purchased music with cloud emblem onto CD? Why?

Please tell me why I am unable to burn CDs from purchased music through Icloud.

Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Unable to burn DMG files to CDs on external USB2 disc burners?

Hello.
I am having difficulties burning 88.x MB DMG files to CDs (new CD-Rs and an old CD-RW) onto two different external USB2 disc burner drives (both have power AC connected: HP and LG Super brands). The new Mac Mini (no disc slot drive)'s updated 64-bit Mac OS X 10.7.4's Disk Utilities tries to burn and then fail right away or after a few seconds. The error says "Unable to burn 'whatever.dmg' (The disc drive did not respond properly and can't recover or retry." Nothing interesting in dmesg, but Disk Utility's logs had details: http://pastie.org/private/6tnqcnkwycr2yftp8gkzxw ...
I do see my drives' lights on during the burn. I can quick erase the old CD-RW fine. I can burn 538 MB from an 64-bit Windows 8 on my Acer AM3800 PC with the same discs and external burner drives without any problems. Also, I thought it was my USB cable extension, but it wasn't it. I don't use any USB hubs either. DMG files are fine too. I did notice copying from a CD to Mac Mini's local HDD was slow, but no failures.
What could be the problem? Is USB2 too slow or something? Thank you in advance.

Did you look at...
~/Library/Logs/DiscRecording.log
USB2 is slow, but not that slow, but have you tried reducing the burn speed?

Unable to burn purchased music

Hi there.
Just downloaded the latest version of itunes today.
However....
Am getting a message when trying to burn purchased songs to a disc saying "None of the files can be burned to an mp3 disc".
I never had this problem before when had the older verison of itunes.
Is it because they are protected aac tracks, and if so is there anyway around this?
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Hi "shawn1982",
You can't burn AAC tracks to an MP3 CD - you need to change your burn settings to Data CD/DVD in order to do this.
Hope this helps,
-Travis

Unable to play purchased tracks from old account

am sure this has been asked many times before but...............
I changed ISP provider 18 months ago, i.e. our email address changed and we also changed our credit card details. I backed up all my i-tunes store purchased music in preparation for moving to a new PC. Despite authorizing the new PC (apparently successfully) i-tunes simply refuses to play anything that was purchased under my old email account and, I can't remember the password.
The ironic thing is that CD's that i purchased 10 yrs ago can simply be fed into the blue-ray drive and i can reload them. No such luck on music that was purchased less than 3 yrs ago via i-tunes. groan. we also don't have phone help in the UK. anybody help before i ditch i-tunes store and go back to buying CD's?

it does seem crazy not to have some sort of tag that u can carry with u
What?
that would allow you to easily keep your ligitimately purchase music as your own
There's nothing really to do except copy your music onto CD/DVD/hard drive.
Continue to use the same iTunes account you had.
far too complicated and something that needs addressing.
I believe you are trying to make it much more difficult than it is.
If you get a new computer, copy your files from the old to the new.
If you have the same computer, you need do nothing.
Change the info in your iTunes account if you move or get a new ISP.
That is all you need to do.

I am unable to burn CDs with songs recently purchased from itunes. No problem before. When I try to burn a playlist with new songs, I get the error message that "songs will not it on 1 audio CD". If I remove all songs except the new one, it will burn.

I am unable to burn CD's with the last 4 songs I've purchased from the iTunes store. I can burn CD's from playlist using previously purchased songs with no problem. With a normal length playlist including 1 of the newly purchased songs, I get the message "songs will not fit on one CD". I can remove all but the new song and 1 other and the CD will burn. I have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and still have the problem.

I have that EXACT same problem! I have no idea what to do though, but it is very mucho frustrating. Let me know if you find out anything, and I will do the same.

Unable to burn iTunes Store audio book track to CD - Track to long

I am unable to burn an audio book I purchased to CD because the track is to long, 2 hours and 8 minutes. I tried setting the start and stop times to be less than 1 hour, but I still get the message. How can I get the track burned to a set of CDs?

I found a work around.
1. Select the long track and using get info
2. Set the start and stop times and check the check boxes next to them.
3. Create a new play list of the selected track.
4. Burn a CD using the new playlist.

Unable to burn DVDs on iMac. Folders dragged to DVD window appear as documents. DVDs from same package burned OK last year. Using Lion. CDs burn OK.

Unable to burn DVDs on 2009 iMac ( Lion ). Folders and any files dragged to DVD window appear as blank documents.
Burned DVDs from same package ( Memorex ) last year OK. CDs burn OK. DVDs are several years old, if that matters.

The music is a tune that was purchased/downloaded from the iTune store. The slide shows (five of them) consist of digital photos (jpg) that I have taken. The interesting thing is that I also have an eMac (about three years old) that I have created the same iDVD project (identical music & identical slide shows). I have been able to burn a DVD disk of this project on my eMac WITHOUT A PROBLEM. The thing I do not like about the eMac is that I purchased family pack of iLife 6 last year (because I liked some of the new Themes). However, when I installed it on my eMac, for some reason it takes about 5-10 minutes to get iDVD 6 "up and running." Once it has loaded the Themes, however, I am "good to go." I've had this computer into the "Genius Bar" at the local area Apple Store TWICE and they are unable to get it to work more efficiently. The even reinstalled the entire operating system to no avail. So, the solution is to launch iDVD 6 on my eMac and then go do something else for 5-10 minutes. But at least I am able to burn my iDVD projects to DVDs.
With my iMac, iDVD launches quickly but is useless since I am unable to burn my iDVD slide show projects to DVD.
So, as a result, I am pretty much ready to "call it a day" with the iMac and will go back to my eMac.
Thanks for your time.

p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

Micky,
The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format. Most Android phones can play AACs. Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
(This conversion does not require burning.)
For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices. You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

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.

Suddenly unable to burn cds

Hello, I have been unable to burn playlists onto a cd from iTunes. I get a "Disc Burner or software not found" error. However, if I remove the Image Simulation drive from Device Manager, the error disappears but then iTunes freezes and will not burn properly. This just happened Friday. I have tried different brand of discs as well with no resolution. Need help.

The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4251(0x0000109b). It happened on drive F: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 on CDR media at speed 4X.

I have the same problem.
Best I can make of it at the moment is that it wants everyone to be the administrator on their computer, wants you to remove any virtual drive software you have installed on the computer, and then it also doesn't like your cd drive anymore because its "unsupported"!! Or at least thats what has happened to me.
Still trying to find out how to fix it.

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.

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.

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.
