I bruned a CD on our mac for the first tiem earlier, i used itunes but messed up what i wanted to put on it, i need to add some tracks to that CD but it won't let me saying i need a blank disk, is there anyway to add tracks to that disk or delete it to make it a blank disk again?
I tried looking in Disk utility as that had an erase option but it just wouldn't let me erase anything from my disk.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
 
If you're using a CD-R (not a CD-RW -- look on the CD or the box they came in) then you can only write to those disks once. If a burn messes up or you forget to put on some data, you're out of luck and need to use a new, blank CD-R disk.

If you wish to be able to use a CD over and over again, you can purchase CD-RW disks, which will allow you to erase them and start over again. CD-RW would not be a good choice for music CDs or any CDs you intend to use with devices other than computers, since they may be slightly incompatible (my CD player rejects CD-RW disks).
