Why won't iTunes burn songs to CD - error: too many songs (even4) for 1 CD?

I am a huge music lover. Having compiled over 4,000 songs in my library, it is very frustrating and disheartening to be limited to my iPod or my computer to enjoy my library.
I keep getting the message that my burn list is too large and do I want to record over multiple CD's. If I choose no, I reject my burn request. If I choose yes, nothing happens. Went to trouble shooting. Did everything I could except find and update the firmware "versions", including re-installing the latest version of iTunes and updating my Windows Service Packs. Still same message as before.
When I tried to modify my preferences, it allowed me to make all the selections, but then would not accept them. Instead I got the message: "An error occurred while udating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." What is this about, I am the sole owner and operator of this computer - who else would have enough access privileges to anything on it?
When I run the CD Diagnostics, here is what I get.

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
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.

Why won't itunes burn second disc

everytime i try to burn a playlist that requires multiple discs itunes burns the first one but when i insert second disc it ejects the disc again and asks for a blank disc i have tried different makes of disc and tried different drives and the same keeps happening

I found a work-around. May not work for everyone but it did work for me. My wife has her itunes on another computer on our home network. We do sharing of our itunes libraries. It is an older computer using Windows XP and she hasn't updated her itunes for a while. On a hunch, I shared my copy of the audiobook with her itunes library. I then tried burning her copy to CD's and it worked fine. Actually, it also updated the number of burn copies available. When I was having problems on my Mac - each time I had an unsuccessful attempt it will take one more of the available burn copies. "You have burned 4 copies of 7 available. You have burned 5 copies of 7 available, etc."
When I burned the copy from my wife's computer, it said, "You have burned 1 copy of 7 available."
I know this solution won't work for everyone, but it did work for me. Good luck. - SS

Why won't iTunes let me re-download a previously purchased song?

I am trying to re-download a song that i purchased that did not fully download, but when I go to my previous purchases the "Download" button next to the songs are inactive and do nothing when I try clicking them.

You cannot redownload if it is still on your computer.
Delete, then redownload.

Why won't Itunes let me use my store credit to gift an item

I want to gift a couple songs to my boyfriend, but when i try to gift the songs it asks for my credit card information. i have over $100 in itunes store credit from gift cards. i want to use that money to purchase the songs i will be gifting. why won't itunes allow that? i looked up tutorials and gifting should be easy and all you submit is the other person's email but thats not happening for me.

sadly Apple does not allow you to gift using iTunes Store credit
that's just the way it works I have tried myself and I know it doesn't let you
Sorry

Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1? I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8. I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is. I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me. Everything else syncs except Podcasts. I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again? Thanks!

One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.

Why won't iTunes read an RSS file

I have had Radio National podcasts in itunes for a while but it has not updated since Dec 13 and I went to the website to download the new podcasts and it says that I do not have a RSS reader loaded?
Why won't itunes do it?
thanks
Lee

Are you talking about one of these:
http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/podcasts/program/
Click where it says 'Subscribe in iTunes'. When the page opens, click 'View in iTunes'. When iTunes opens and shows the Store page click 'Subscribe'.
If that doesn't answer it, you need to give more details as to what exactly you are doing.

Why won't iTunes store save my credit card code?

I have to re-enter my credit card code each time I make a purchase through the iTunes store on my laptop (PC) running Windows XP. Why won't iTunes save it?

Is it actually prompting you for a credit card, or just asking you to verify billing details? Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of billing information, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none", if it's not already, which should then stop the regular requirements for verification. It may still ask - mine did for a while - but you should just be able to click through the buttons without problems.
By all means, though, if you prefer eMusic, use that service.
Regards.

Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach to apps

Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach of no questions asked refunds within 15 mins if you aren't happy with an app? I have countless apps that I have lost money purchasing because after installation they don't do what I want.
ITunes ripping the public off, one app at a time!

It either A) shows me a white screen where the store should be, B) shows me the white screen with iTunes Store written in the middle or C) actually shows me the store, but as though it can't read all the sophisticated coding and wants to convert it into just plain ol' HTML.
With those symptoms, I'd check through the following document:

HT2470 Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder, if I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder

Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder?
If I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder. This gets especially annoying because if I tell Itunes to store my "media" in my user/music folder, Itunes will then create a folder named "music" in my "music" folder and will also create additional folders in my user/music folder location to store other non-music media in as well. It is very annoying to see this lack of affinity for folders between two Apple created programs.
