How to burn a cd using itune on windows 7

I am so frustrated !!! I used to be able to burn cd's easily on my macbook, but now I have a macbook air which has no cd drive. I'm trying to use a windows laptop to burn one, using itunes and it will not work! I get the 'cancelling burn' message. At first it was 'error 4450'. After I updated to 11.1 now I'm getting 'error 4280'. I tried using windows media player and that failed as well. For itunes I tried updating, I adusted the burn speed as well. How can I succesfully proceed?

Hi s_chuk,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like there may be an issue with the disc burner in your computer since Windows Media Player fails as well.  I would see this article for more information:

  • HT203164 Can no longer burn cd's using itunes or Windows Media Player

    I start a burn from a non-purchased playlist. It starts and then cancels, giving me an unknown error 4261. Uninstalled/re-installed to no avail. Tried WMP...same thing. Device is working properly...plays, imports.

    Harry,
    If you are getting the same problem with both iTunes and WMP, chances are that the issue is in your optical drive.

  • How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?

    How do multiple family members use iTunes. One account right now but apps gets added to all devices and iTunes messages go to all devices.  Can multiple accounts be setup and still have ability to share purchased items?

    Hey Ajtt!
    I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
    Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
    You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
    Mac:
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    PC (Windows 8):
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • HT204053 i lost my iPhone recently and how can i retrieve it using my Apple ID? also, how to turn icloud on using Itunes even if the phone's lost?

    i lost my iPhone recently and how can i retrieve it using my Apple ID? also, how to turn icloud on using Itunes even if the phone's lost?

    Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

    1. This is the iPad forum.  For Macbook questions use the Macbook forum.

    The hosts will likely move the thread there shortly.
    2.  You can't use iTunes to find your computer.   You can use icloud.com from another computer to find it if you setup Find my Mac on the lost macbook pro.

  • Can't burn a cd in itunes with windows 8

    When I try to burn a cd in itunes with Windows 8, I get unknown error 4310.  I am able to burn music and text files with
    windows  but not itunes. I believe there may be registry errors and compatiblity issues with Windows 8 and Itunes. 
    Other errors I received when I tried to fix the problem are disk burner and software missing and disk recording missing.
    I have consulted with Dell and ATT ConnectTech and no one seems to be able to solve the problem.  I have uninstalled
    itunes and reinstalled itunes several times but still cannot burn cd with Itunes with windows 8...Anyone who has
    faced this problem and solved it I would love to hear from you

    I don't have much help, but yes, I did burn a CD in iTunes 8. Had some problems--different from yours--and got help from my Apple Care...although they wanted me to write an e-mail to the Apple Store for help (I insisted that Apple Care should cover it and I wanted to talk with someone. Eventually, I got someone in the US). I also turned off the Genius. Don't know if that helped or not.
