When I try to burn a music CD, it insists I am burning a data DVD

When I select a playlist and tell it to burn the playlist the disc as an Audio CD, I get the following message:
"You have inserted a blank DVD but originally selected a CD format. Are you sure you wish to create a data DVD instead?"
Since I asked it to create an audio CD and NOT a data DVD, I have no idea what to do. I simply want to play these files from the CD player.
Any ideas? Is it possible the format of the files (MP3) is to blame?
Note I have never figured out how to create a CD that will play in my normal, several-generations-old CD player.
Thanks.

"You have inserted a blank DVD but originally selected a CD format. Are you sure you wish to create a data DVD instead?"
The message is crystal clear.
YOU CANNOT (not no way, not no how) create a MUSIC CD with a DVD. It's a completely DIFFERENT disc format.
If you want to burn a Music CD, you MUST USE a blank CD to do it.

Hi Klaus1
So, I tried all the suggestions and followed the links - all to no avail.
as you can see, (screenshot below) my iMac is a 21.5 inch late 2009 model which isn't showing in the updates listed above
My system report shows that my Mac has the following:
I reset the PRAM and the SMC - still have the same error message when I try to burn discs. I've used both CD's and DVD's and tried with my external Discwriter too.
Any further suggestions??

I keep getting error code 1450 when I try to download a music video.

I keep getting error code 1450 when I try to download a music video. I've since downloaded other songs/videos, and I have the latest version of iTunes, so I don't think I need to uninstall itunes, but I can't download the video I bought.

If you recently installed or updated disc burning software it may be conflicting with iTunes.
Try taking a look at this Apple doc, some of the suggestions may take care of the problem -> iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters

My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

TS1717 i was wonering why is it when i restord my iphone5 from my laptop now when i try to play my music and movie a blog pops up saying (the requested URL was not found on this server)?

I was wondering why when i restored my iphoe5 from my laptop now when I try to play my music and movies a blog pops up saying (the requested URL was not found on this server)?

The problem resolved itself when I resynced the iPod with my computer. I suspect the error displayed when I tried syncing with my laptop and canceled out of it.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

I have Windows 7. When I try to print an album cover on a CD I burned, I get an error message that there is a problem and it shuts down iTunes and says will notify me once the problem is fixed

I have iTunes version 11.3.1.2 and a Windows 7 Professional aith Service Pack 1. When I try to print a CD cover from a disc I burned, I get an error message that stops the printing task and shuts down iTunes and tells me once the problem is found they will notify me. When this happened before I got sent a message from Apple that I needed to install a new verion of iTunes. I believe I now have the latest iTunes version. So why can't I print?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

HT1349 I just purchased new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to. How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this. I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes. I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you. I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud. So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out. There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service. As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough. Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree. But thank you for reading and replying.

Satellite Pro L - Error message when I try to play a music CD

It plays on my old XP 32 bit desktop but will not play on the Windows 7 64 bit laptop.
The CD is not a commercially made one but it is of importance to me.
Any ideas please?

When the CD is loaded and I go to play it via computer it shows a dead icon and it is not recognised.
Usually the icon shows details of the disc to be played but in this case it doesnt, when I right click to choose a player there are none available to choose from.

All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer". This is where you will find your music.
The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match.

The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.
