Why won't my back up I-Tunes CD's play on my Bose Wave Radio/CD ?

I am backing up my I-Tune's library on a stack of Maxwell CD-RW's but find that they won't play on my Bose Wave Radio/CD or the Sony entertainment center CD player. Am I using the wrong medium or the wrong format?

I'd rather ask this question in the iTunes forum but my guess is Bose CD player is reading only audio CDs and not data CDs. When you're doing a backup, you're writing a data CD, containing either mp3s or AACs. Altough some more recent CD players are able to read mp3s, most don't.

  • Why won't my last five or six iTunes purchases play on my iPhone after I sync.  I can see the album covers and songs in the lineup.  But won't play.

    Why won't my most recent iTunes purchases play on my iPhone?  Oddly, the album covers and song titles show up on the phone after synching, but still won't let me play them.

    I'm a bit confused by your question.
    You say you have synced with your iMac, and that you have match turned on. If match is turned on you can't sync music any more.
    Are the purchases new, or old ones?
    Can you confirm that match is turned on on both the iMac and the iPhone.

  • My iphone4 is stuck on 'connect to itunes' after i have done a full back up and restore. Why won't it back up onto my iphone? I can see all the data on my computer but it wont sync to my iphone. Please help!

    Hello. Please can anyone help?
    After having issues with my iphone4, I was told to restore it as it was probably a software issue.
    So today I have made sure to back up to icloud, and onto my computer / itunes. After restoring my phone, you go through the steps on the iphone, to resore the back up from itunes there shows a symbol of the itunes and a wire to connect. I have connected to itunes and it will not sync. All the information is there on my computer, it goes through all the steps to sync, 1-6 then goes back to itunes. But none of the data is on my iphone, my iphone is still on the 'connect to itunes' symbol!
    Am i doing something wrong? How can I get all my data back onto my iphone?
    Thank you.

    Try on another computer with another USB cable.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why won't it back up so I can update to 2.2?

    I've been trying to update my 2G iPhone to 2.2 since 4 PM yesterday. It's almost 11 AM, and I've had little success.
    It seems that iTunes 8.0.2 (and 8.0.1 yesterday) isn't able to complete a backup, even for a sync. I tried to sync it several times yesterday in between tantrums and cursing at the 2.2 update, but it wasn't even able to initiate a backup. I did do a successful sync by applying a few random changes in iTunes, but it skipped the backup.
    When I try to update, it extracts the pre-downloaded file, starts backing up, and really doesn't go anywhere. This sync has lasted a couple hours and hasn't backed up a tenth of my iPhone. I had the update running all night, only to see that it was unsuccessful because the phone "disconnected," despite the fact that the computer and phone didn't move at all. I even tried deleting the update so that it would have to re-download it, but that didn't change anything.
    Could it be a defective cord? iTunes has no problem acknowledging the iPhone, but the backup doesn't work (or just takes days). I added a ton of books to eReader since my last sync, so could that make any difference? I saw a video of 8-hour iPhone syncs once, but I think I'm setting a record right now.
    I posted a topic on this yesterday but haven't heard from anyone, so I really do appreciate any help.

    the last iPhone update said that it "significantly reduced" the back-up time for the iPhone, and for a while it did. I've noticed it get steadily longer and longer to where now i am having the same issue you are, it taking forever to backup even if it's just a standard sync. It's possible that the different applications that are on the phone, especially if they take a lot of memory and/or use a lot of the phone's RAM may cause the backup to take a lot longer than intended, but that's just my guess.

  • Why won't iTunes 11 "stop" one song and then "play" what I've selected (OS 10.6) ?

    (1) I can't get iTunes to play songs I select (in Playlist view) from the menu at the top.  I used to be able to switch from one playlist or song to another by clicking the Play button at the top. Now I can only play a song I want in Playlist view by double-clicking it.  Why don't the controls at the top do what they used to do?
    (2) When I switch to the Mini-Player, if I try to forward to the next song in the playlist, iTunes selects something from a completely different playlist, apparently at random. This seems to be because in Controls/Shuffle, "Shuffle" switches itself to "On."  Can't I forward to the next selection in the Miniplayer any more?  And why is Shuffle turning itself on?  (I HATE Shuffle. Have you ever thought you were going to the next song in your "Game of Thrones" playlist and gotten a Russian gypsy song instead?)
    (3) Can anyone tell me where to find the tutorials for this $&#*^%(^*$!* version of iTunes?
    Humble thanks for any help out there.

    I too can confirm this is a problem and it is too bad becasue play counts are important to me. I track my listening habits with them. iOS 7 on 4S is not updating the play counts or time or anything about the music once played on the phone. I certain it is not an iTiunes problem becasue checking the music on the phone itself show it has no new information to synch on it. it isall the same as when I copied the somgs over. It is definitely an iOS 7 bug. Apple, if you see this, please fix ASAP!

  • Why won't MacBook pro with OS 10.7.4 play some videos?

    After upgrading to OS 10.7.4 MacBook Pro won't play videos or display pictures from some websites, specifically from news sites. How do I fix?

    But to answer your question, you might be able to create a ISO of the DVD and burn that to a new DVD.
    Insert your DVD.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
    In the left side of the window, select the “DVD”.
    Click “New Image” from the Disk Utility toolbar and select where you want to save the temporary image. For “Image Format”, choose “DVD/CD master” and for “Encryption”, choose “none”.
    The image extension in the “Save As” box will be .cdr (this is what you want) — click “Save”.
    Once the temporary image is created, it will show up on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Select it.
    Insert a blank DVD (I prefer Verbatim discs).
    Click “Burn” from the Disk Utility toolbar.
    Another problem could be that you burned the DVD using a codec that your new machine doesn't have.
    Install Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, that combination will play anything.
    Also install Flash for web content and Silverlight for Netflix.

  • Why won't my hp pavilion all in one not play dvds or games?(It does play a game from 2000.)

    Product Name: Hp Pavilion all in one I don't know the product number.
    Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
    It says insert disc each time
    No upgrades before the issue

    Hi,
    The following procedure will test if your PC can start from a bootable disc in the CD/DVD drive - the advantage of trying this is that it will rule out any possible Windows driver error as the CD/DVD drive is under the control of the Bios when starting the PC.  So if you find that the PC will not boot from the CD or DVD, then it's almost certainly a Hardware fault in the optical drive itself and it will need to be replaced.
    Using another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD and DVD.  Download the ISO from the link below.
    Windows 7 64bit
    You need use an application such as ImgBurn to correctly burn the ISO to a CD and then also burn it to a DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, insert the CD and then restart the PC and see if it boots from this disc - if it does, let the first screen come up ( this will show repair options etc ) then just remove the CD, insert the DVD and restart the PC again to see if it will also boot from this disc.  If the PC will not boot from the CD, it may just load straight into Windows, in which case, just remove the CD, insert the DVD and restart to see if it will boot from this disc.
    Let me know.
    Regards,
    DP-K

    I have Mac OS X v10.6, Java SE6  v1.6.0, why won't my Pogo games load?

    Is this played in your browser?  If so is java enabled in the browser (for example, Safari preferences, security. enable java)?
    If enabled there is it enabled globally (Java Preferences in Utilities, General, check the two checkboxes or click Restore Defaults)?

    Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.....
    It sounds to me that you have a player problem or a disc problem and not a burn software problem.
    What players are involved - computer players (which ones) or DVD player standalone or attached to a TV or other?
    As for the DVD-R discs, I am not taking that out of the problem equation. If you take one of these DVD-R discs from the Premiere Elements 10 burn to DVD disc and explore it, do you find an OpenDVD Folder and a VIDEO_TS Folder? If so, if you open the VIDEO_TS Folder, can you find a VTS_01_1.VOB file and play it back on the computer
    If you do that same thing with one of the DVD-RW discs from the Premiere Elements 10 burn to DVD disc and explore it, what do you find?
    How long have you had the DVD-R discs in comparison to the DVD-RW discs? You mentioned that you did all this successfully a couple of years ago, and everything was the same then as now. Did you have these batches of discs then as opposed to now? Are the players the same then and now?
    Burn to Folder (4.7 GB) is always an option. But, I would like to see you have the opportunity of choice for to burn to disc or burn to folder.
    Looking forward to your results.
    Thanks.

  • Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

    Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

    Try Single User mode (Command+S while starting up).
    Then, run fsck.
    At the command-line prompt type:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    When fsck reports that your volume is OK, typerebootat the prompt and then press Return.
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.

    Got it working, had to go to the start menu and do a search for "Apple Software Update" and update Quicktime - had an old version that wasn't getting updated. Itunes works without problem now.
