I think I have an answer for all who have been previously able to burn CD's but are now getting an Error 4280 (or other error numbers)when the disc fails to i8nitialize during the burn process....I was able to burn CD's without problem for 2+ years using various version of I-Tunes, then just as others described, it just stopped working for no apparent reason (and nobody at Apple seemed overly helpful in getting it resolved beyond sending cut-'n-paste manual pages that didn't fix the problem.
Anyhow when running my Virus/Spyware software, it detected a Trojan called "Trojan.Lager" on my PC. As soon as I deleted it, my I-tunes went back to working nromally.

    The optical drive has probably failed. It's a fairly common thing with these slim SuperDrives. Does it read any discs you put into it? You can try resetting the SMC and pram but I'll be surprised if it helps.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or....
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or....
    Try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

    When I insert my memory card, the message I get is : Unrecognizable Format".
    Help!

    See if you can upoad the files from the memory card to a folder on the Desktop with Image Capture or with a card reader.  If you can then put the card back in the camera and reformat it with the camera.  Take some test shots and try importing as you normally do again.

  • I can't burn any CDs.  Error 4280.  No solutions found in similar threads yet.

    Hi all,
    I can't seem to burn any of my music (purchased OR ripped from my own CD collection) in iTunes all of a sudden.  It begins the process, then cancels about a minute in and returns an error code of 4280.  I have researched it on the web for a month now, with no success.
    Some say it's a problem with Sony drives.  I don't have a sony drive.
    Some say I need to update my iTunes and/or restart my computer. I have done both - no change.
    Some say I need to decrease the write speed.  I have attempted it at 16X, 8X, and 1X, with no success.
    iTunes CD diagnostics suggested unclicking the CD Text option.  I did.  Still canceled the burn.
    I know the drive recognizes the discs, because if I close iTunes and insert a blank disc, I get the pop-up window with options, and it will play audio and video.
    I'm running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600)
    Drive: Matshita DVD-RAM UJ--845S
    Acer Aspire 5670
    iTunes 10.5.1.42
    QuickTime 7.7.1
    Apple Application Support 2.1.5
    iPod Updater Library 10.0d2
    CD Driver 2.2.0.1
    CD Driver DLL 2.1.1.1
    Does anyone have a solution?  Or anything I can try that I haven't already?  I have read over 30 threads now that offer no help, so please, do not repost link to threads as help unless you have read them and have found that they contain suggestions that I have not covered here.  And thank you for taking the time to assist me.

    Additional information: 
    -also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
    -am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago.  Tried another brand also to be safe.  None worked.
    -ran CD/DVD diagnostics within iTunes with Apple Care - no issues apparent
    -also tried write-speed 20X on advice of Apple Care (don't know why they thought 20X would be the magic number after the other 3 I tried didn't work)
    -tried running itunes in another user account on the computer - same problem, same error code
    -Apple suggested it was a copyright issue.  I can't even burn music that I created/recorded myself, so that doesn't make sense.
    -They thought maybe Quicktime wasn't installed properly, so we checked a film in Windows Media - it played, meaning Quicktime was fine apparently. 
    Solution:
    Unclicked CD text option & Sound Check, ran burn from the File drop down menu (max speed) on a Philips CD-R and it worked!  Had been right clicking the playlist name and selecting Burn option from there.  That being said, it did not work on 2 other brands prior, with same settings.  Not sure why.  Just happy it's working again. Is it a brand issue?

  • Error 4315 unable to burn CDs

    When ever I try to burn a play list to CD, the burn process starts, looks like it's going and then I get an error message saying the burn failed because of an error 4315. I'm reasonably certain that I was able to burn CDs from iTunes in the past and wonder if some update of iTunes broke this feature. I don't have any problem burning CDs from other programs. I've seen postings for this error before, but it does not appear that any one ever found a solution to this. It seemed the only workaround was to transfer the music to an iPod and then use another program to convert it to either MP3 or some other general Windows fomat, but I do not have an iPod and would rather avoid having to buy one just to burn CDs. Does any one have a clue what this error means or have a solution now? Is it really possible now to burn CDs from iTunes, I got a different error when I tried to do this with a second system I had. If I can't burn CDs from iTunes I may have to consider going back to another Music service/software.

  • HP dv6263cl DVD Rom unable to burn any dvd

    dear hp/support team mates:
    i have purchased HP 6000 series notebook in Oct -07 and i m satisfied with its performance. intially i didn't have any data to burn on the dvd rom. but with passage of time i have data which requires backup on dvd rom. now the problem i m facing is i m unable to write/burn any data on blank dvd's which are available in open market.
    i have changed different brands of dvd rw and used multi softwares to burn the dvd. everytime i get the error its dvd fault which is unable to have write on it. now i m not technical person but if proper guidence is transfered then i m able to diagnose the issue.
    the error i get is .. The disc in the drive is not writable disc or it is full. Please insert a writable disc in drive.
    now waiting for the response from your end.

    Can you play a movie dvd? In other words is the dvd drive otherwise operational? If you have never reloaded the operating system after 2.5 years that would be the place to start. After all that time it is very possible the registry or other part of software is corrupted. You also say you have installed multiple disk burning software installations. That can pose a problem. I would ask you to recover it to factory state or better yet install a new clean copy of Windows 7 so we can properly isolate potential hardware issues from software issues.
    We are not official HP people by the way just users who volunteer to help.
    I am assuming you have Vista but if that is wrong let us know.

  • Upgrading to iTunes 7.6 and now can't burn any playlists

    Hi:
    I've finally upgraded to iTunes 7.6 and it now won't let me burn any playlists. When I try, it asks me to insert a blank disc, which I do, it then says checking media and then nothing. I've rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled and still the same issue. Before I upgraded I had no problem burning a cd, plus after upgrading, I've tried to burn other things off of my computer and that all still works. Any suggestions?

    Having the same frustrating problem and have spent hours tryinhg to figure out. E-mail to iTunes support was pretty much useless and they finally advised me to contact an Apple Service Technician. If you find out, please post or let me know [email protected] Staples said for $40 they could fix. Hate to pay it. Thanks.

  • Error Code- 6 When Burning DVDs/ CDs- Any Ideas

    I recently had a problem burning DVDs from iMovie due to an error code- 6 (whatever that is!) I had put this problem to one side for a number of months, on account of the fact I don't burn that many DVDs. I have now found the problem has spread to CDs as well.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this, or is it new drive time?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   1Ghz Power PC

    Hi Skinner,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Firstly you can't burn DVDs from iMovie!
    Under OS 9 Error 6 was an overflow error, although I can't confirm its the same under OS X it sounds like it could be a buffer overflow issue in iDVD. This would mean that the computer cannot supply the data to the drive quickly enough. Try the following things (which admittedly are undesirable but may be neccesary):
    Close down all Applications not directly involved in what you're doing to free up processor time and memory.
    Burn at a lower speed (choose 1x or 2x rather than 4 x).
    Try different media those PC World branded disc may not be as good as a Verbatim.
    Hope this helps

  • My iPhone says it needs to be restored, but on connecting to iTunes i get unknown error, and unable to restore: any tips?

    On 2 occasions my iphone has come up with the message that it needs to be restored to factory settings, but on trying to do this, itunes displays the message that it is unable to restore phone due to unknown error.  Any tips?

    Unless you have a jailbroken phone that has altered the baseband, that usually a hardware failure, in which case you'll have to take it to the Apple store for evaluation.

  • Satellite A200-AH5 CD/DVD drive does not burn any CDs

    I own a Toshiba Satellite laptop (A200 -AH3) running Windows Vista Home Premium.
    For what it is worth, the processor is a T2085 @ 1.73 GHz. It is a 32-bit Operating System.
    In Device Manager when I click on DVD/CD Rom drives, I get TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D ATA Device.
    Clicking on this I find that the driver is working properly and up to date. I have not been able to burn a CD on this system...
    I have not tried to burn a DVD.
    I have run through all the steps for burning a CD, however, but even though it goes through the process of showing the progress as each song from a playlist is burned to disc, when the disc is supposedly finalized...there is nothing on the disc when I try to play it back and with the exception of iTunes or another program opening when I place the CD into the drive to be played, absolutely nothing happens.
    I tried burning music on a disc on my sister's desktop computer and it burned fine.
    So...It is not a problem with the discs.
    When I took the disc my sister had burned and placed it in the disc drive on my laptop, it displayed the tracks that had been burned and it played the music just fine. This has me really thrown for a loop.
    The laptop is only a year old and I can't burn a single thing.
    Unfortunately, the warranty has expired. I am desperate to get this problem fixed. I have no idea if it will burn a DVD, but I have ruined 2 boxes of CD-R discs already. After the disc has supposedly burned the music...even though no music has been burned...the disc is ruined and has to be tossed.
    I am not terribly knowledgeable about techncal aspects of computers, so I hope you can speak to me in general terminology if you respond to my problem. I really hope someone out there can advise me as to what is going on or what I should do to resolve the problem.
    Thanks for any help in advance!
    Thanks.

    Hi
    In your case I would recommend trying different CDs from different manufacturers.
    You should know that not all CDs or DVDs would be fully compatible with your internal CD/DVD drive.
    In many cases not compatible CD or DVD would cause exactly the same issues which you have described in your message so try different medias!
    Furthermore I would recommend checking the Toshiba driver page for an CD/DVD drives firmware update.
    As Im not mistaken the Satellite A200-AH3 belongs to the Canadian series and you should check the Canadian page for some new firmware. Maybe a new firmware is available
    Last but not least you could switch to other burning software Im using the Nero In my opinion its the best applications for such purposes

Maybe you are looking for
