iTunes 12.7.2 CD Burning Issues

Yup, Nathaniel...........we know that those who belong to the Apple propriety club are rolling along on a separate set of wheels than the entire body of us other Windows users. At first I thought that Apple was deliberately attempting to close the door on us. And, if they are (and I doubt so) they are cutting face spite their nose because a wealth of what they earn from iTunes is beyond reason to pull-out this way. If a statistical analysis was done on the entire world body of who uses iTunes it would surely prove that, first, more computers are Window used than Apple and, second, not all Apple users are iTunes huggers.

I'm also having the exact same problem. I've wasted four discs trying to burn a playlist and getting that error. There was an update today that I thought was going to correct the problem, but I wasted another disc trying it. I called Apple support (for the first time) and in 21 minutes, the tech guy told me he thought at first it was Windows, then my security, then after talking with a supervisor, told me it was the disks I was using, which I've never had a problem with before. So essentially, it was no help calling Apple because the techie and his supervisor had no resolution. So now wondering how long I'll be screwed.

I'm having same issue.. can no longer burn playlists to CDs.. this is why I think twice about installing the latest versions, when the version before was working just fine. Also, user testing should have caught this bug before it was released onto the market.

Thanks just tried and can burn CDs again! thanks to turingtest2 as well. Ill wait a year before installing another iTunes no doubt they won't be in a hurry to fix it. Or if someone here reports it working with a newer version.

Just want to say that I'm glad you are here for us. You make a lot of good sense about Apple being the sole supplier of iTunes and that they are shrugging their responsibility at their many customers by failing due diligence at admitting to both acknowledge the flaw together with having failed to issue a bulletin to show some sincerity of promise to fix it.

Can anyone help me please. I managed to include iTunes with Windows Media Player but now my iTunes library are showing duplicates with apostrophes beside them. I also downloaded music from iTunes today but for some reason is still not showing in Windows Media Player. Does this mean it’s still updating? Many thanks

See Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.

Can you post a screenshot of what you see in iTunes? Adding your iTunes media to WMP shouldn't have affected the iTunes library unless WMP reorganized the files, but even that wouldn't have made duplicates although it could potentially have made existing entries show up with an exclamation mark.

I initially attempted the set for 12.7.1.14 earlier and it failed cure this disease we're suffering. Now I see that others have had success. I was away for a couple of days, so, I made another attempt today and as soon as I was to save the 32bit setup I got a prompt advising that I already had done it..............i.e. (it's nothing more that the currently flawed version)

My experience in the past with iTunes showing exclamation points after the tracks meant those tracks had been lost or deleted. When I clicked on the track it asked if I wanted to locate it. Most of the time, they were not in my folders but had to be re-downloaded through iTunes. If you have duplicates, I would only delete those with exclamation points - since they’re probably not there anyway. :)

Make sure that your image file has a simple name like Screenshot.jpg. I asked because apostrophes didn't make sense, but if they are exclamation marks that at least is familiar. The duplication shouldn't have happened if you simply added some iTunes Media to WMP, however if WMP moved the files that would explain the exclamation marks.

When you restart iTunes it assumes that every file is where it is supposed to be until it has reason to find out otherwise. If they come back see Re: Locating all files with !. See also Re: Duplicate songs for advice on removing duplicates. Perhaps you tried adding you media back into iTunes when it didn't work properly?

I take it you don't have a simple backup of the library you can roll back to?

What actions did you perform? I'm pretty sure I can help you undo the damage once I understand exactly what has happened.

Morning. Many apologies I meant exclamation marks lol. Yes all you said made a lot of sense however some of the music recently downloaded from iTunes is not recognised in WMP despite me transferring all the songs.

This is now beyond ridiculous. One month, at least a dozen blank CD's wasted, and iTunes is mum on the subject, won't/don't acknowledge the problem, and has done nothing to resolve the problem. Think it might be time to make a major change to other players/burners, and purchasing music.

I feel exactly the same. The problem I’m experiencing is the fact that when I tried installing the previous version of iTunes, I still ended up with this current crappy version. Not sure how to install the old version so I can burn cds again. It’s very frustrating. Also I’m not getting all my iTunes purchases going into Windows Media Player 🙁
