iTunes how to burn CD's with El Capitan

Before I put on El Capitan I had no problems burning my CD's now I can not find where I go to burn my CD's I like to make copies of my originals and play them and keep the Originals so they will not get messed up. I already have my music on iTunes, I slip in a CD and in a couple minutes it ejects it. What is up with this? Is it made that way so you have to purchase something for El Capitan to burn Cd's with? The first rime I put the CD it said something about burning Cd's but the pop- up closed to soon for me to read it all. But now it does nothing but eject after a few minutes. Please I would appreciate your help on this matter, thank you.

I have OSX El Capitan 10.11.1

It sounds like your optical drive may be failing. Do other cd's play? Note that it's possible that DVD's could play and not CD's or visa versa as they use different lasers.

Thanks for your help, but it plays alright. Before I put on el Capitan it was easy to find out how to burn a CD's all I did was put the CD in and have iTunes open and it would have a place to go and click on to burn a CD now I can not find the place to burn the CD. Now I put the CD in and it does not have a place to go burn it with. I can not even eject the CD I do not know how to. Before El Capitan the CD logo would be on my desk top page and I clicked on it and went to eject and it would eject. The first time I put a CD now that i have El Capitan a pop up came up telling me how to burn it but it closed right away. Now I call Apple and they want to charge me to help me. Can you imagine I have to pay for a year worth of help from them just to tell me where to go to take Opera off, or to find out how to burn a Cd? I used to have my disk utility to eject it now I can not even use that since customer service from Apple took control of my computer and she put on El Capitan for me. And then when I upgraded Adobe flash it put Opera on my mac and I can not find it to take it off. I googled it, I have to go to the google search engine through the Yahoo search engine to google now, cause of Opera. Opera is lousy now I have Yahoo as my search engine. When I search on Yahoo it opened a page and told me to go and find my answers on Yahoo answers. And when I try and search for youtube video it opens a page and tells me that there was a problem finding my search it does it countless times. And it opens up a advance search engine. When I googled how to remove Opera no one tells they say that Opera is put on when you upgrade Adobe flash. Now I will not upgrade Adobe Flash for fear they will put something else on my computer. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. Oh and I like your user logo from the 3 stooges. 😕

You are so cool😎 for helping me....

Try selecting the playlist that you want to burn to CD and go to the File menu in iTunes, Burn Playlist to disc is there

To eject a disc go to the Controls menu and select Eject Disc

To get rid of Opera, in Finder press the Command and F keys to open a Find window. Type Opera into the search box and press return, drag Opera to the trash and empty.

To set your default browser back to Safari or whatever you want to use open your System Preferences and select the General preference pane, click on the Default Browser drop down and select your favorite

To select Google as your default search engine open Safari Preferences and select the Search tab, click the drop down menu and choose Google

You know what when I tried to find out how to take Opera off I noticed that someone else that answered that question that person that wanted Opera off said i tried what you said and still did not take Opera off all the way. So your reply to my question will be here for others who have that problem. You have been a good help. And your answer to my question will answer a lot of people's question when they look on here for how to get Opera off. Cause when I download a upgrade of Adobe flash that is when it put Opera on my computer. Thank you your answer will help others also.

Never download an update that comes from a pop up. If you need to download an update, especially to Flash, go to www.Adobe.com and navigate to the flash update yourself. Always be careful about what you click on when things pop up, even if it's during a process that you initiated.

I too have the latest version of El Capitan and have had trouble burning a CD. Found a solution. Select all the files to be burned and then RIGHT CLICK with the mouse (to activate the RIGHT CLICK go to System Preferences - Mouse and tick the box marked "Secondary Click". Also very useful for every other programme). A sub menu should appear with the option "Burn " " to disk).
