Burning playlists from my iTunes to CD doesn't work anymore. Keep getting a "medium write error" message. What does this mean?
I'm trying to burn playlists onto a cd from itunes. I keep getting a "medium write error" message. What does this mean? I heard that this may mean that I should try burning at a slower speed. I tried this and that didn't help. I also heard that I may need to use a different brand of CD-R disc. I have not tried this yet. I also heard that it could be a software issue or disc drive issue. I recently updated my macbook pro software from tiger to snow leapord. Do you think this could have affected my itunes playlist burning capabilities? Thanks for the help.
A system upgrade should not have affected anything. When did you notice the loss in functionality?

Realize that a MBP that came with Tiger is an old computer and optical drives do not last forever.
You could try a drive cleaning disc to remove dust. Don't be overly optimistic. I suspect it is an old drive issue.

While trying to burn a CD of a playlist, the disc was ejected with the message "medium write error" . What does this mean and how do I fix it?
I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job. -
On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean? And how do I work around it?

i got this message while buring a CD on itunes. "The Attemp to burn the disc failed because of medium write error"..what do you make of this?
i think the CD was bad. i took the machine to the Apple store and they said the Optical Drive was OK. so it must be the CD's i'm using... i use Verbatim type. let me know.'Mediium write error' means it failed to write to the disc - some makes work better than others and you may just have hit a single bad disc or maybe your burner doesn't like the make of disc. I've always had good results with TDK.

Itunes error message-what does this mean????
My eMac stopped working so I had to do an archive and reinstall. I did all the software updates and tried to play my purchased music in itunes. It said I had to authorize my computer and enter my password. I did and it gave me this error- "Could not complete your itunes store request. A required itunes component is not installed. (-42404). I checked and I have the latest version of itunes. I even tried to re-create my itunes library and that didn't help.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or am I out of luck?Remove iTunes and reinstall iTunes.

DSPPublishing error -29. what does this mean... I'm trying to burn to DVD
It means – more or less – that the job action (burning the disk) failed.
Sometimes this happens because the app doesn't like something about a background image that is to be used in the menu. If you have such an image, reduce its dimensions. If you don't have one, in Settings in the dialog, cick Add and then Cancel.Some people have found that that alone is enough to kickstart the job action.

I had to get a new ipod....they said I just needed to plug it in and sync to my itunes.. I get an error 1413 when I try to follow the instructions to restore. I can't find any information on error 1413, what does this mean?
Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I'm using DVD Studio pro to burn a dvd but it won't let me cause I keep getting a "Formatting Failed" error message. It says "Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds max layer size allowed. Choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition." What does this mean?
KrisIt means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

My iTunes list of downloaded TV programmes says 'Caution' next to some of them. What does this mean? These are programmes I've had for several months
This is the Rating - the equivalent of the rating that you would have for a film (PG, 12, 15 etc)
Britain does not have a TV rating system equivalent to this - like they have in America. TV shows you download with adult content may be rated caution. You can't then restrict access to them using itunes or device parental controls.
There is no way as far as I know in iTunes to change the rating. You have to do this with a third party tagging application. -
