7.0.2 Disc burn errors!!!!!!!

Had previous version of itunes burnt cds fine.
downloaded 7.0.2 now has unknown errors 4201 and 4251. Tried it 10 times both audio and mp3 cds. Help! I just spent how much on downloads and now I can't use them!

Hey rtfg,
Have you tried a new user to test issue?
It would be helpful to know if it occurs in just your user.
You may want to copy the songs you are trying to burn to your Public folder. So you can add them to the new users iTunes.
See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106167, for background information on the user environment
For adding a new user, if you are unfamiliar with steps:
Use the Finder Help menu to open Mac Help, search for "Adding a new user account to your computer", for instructions on creating a new user.

Cancelling disc burn error 4310

Hi all
I am hoping someone can help.
I have just bought a new Asus laptop with Windows 8 and have installed the latest version of iTunes.
All my music is in the library now and I have created some play lists and went to burn a disc, I selected maximum possible speed and in about 1 second it says "disc initiallising" and then straight away says "cancelling disc burn" and then says "attempt to burn disc failed, an unexpected error (4310) has occured".
I have googled this but cant find a solution that works. I have tried changing the compatibility to Windows 7, also tried Widows XP (service pack 3) and also unchecked this to not use an older version whatsoever. I have tried registering the new computer to my account. I have also tried a lower speed at 1x, when doing this it does a longer initialising and goes through all the songs but as soon as it goes to burn it cancels itself.
I have tried several different blank discs, nothing. It worked perfectly like this on the old computer (windows 7).
I have even ran diagnostics on the DVD drive through iTunes and results are below -
Can anyone help? I just want to put my music on to disc.
Thanks

Hi nina:
That is usually cause by using a DVD media that you Macs don't like.
Try using a DVD-R 4x from Verbatim. Seems to have the best track record here.

Disc burn error 0xFFFFFFCA?????? PLEASE HELP!!

I have been trying to use Backup 3 (yes it is the Leopard approved version) since upgrading to Leopard (I did not do a "clean" install) to burn to DVD.
The following occurs everytime.
My DVD-RW is ejected and this message appears:
Burn Failed
There was a problem burning this disc. 0xFFFFFFCA
My options:
Cancel Entire Backup Retry
It doesn't work on retry.
It WILL erase the data on disc after inserted for the burn and the disc shows up on my desktop and definitely spins in the drive and is recognized as being in the drive and the disc to burn to. It fails after only copying files.... (which it doesn't appear to completely finish).
Could the problem be the fact that Backup 3 application names the burn drive as SuperDrive when before Leopard and the new Backup 3 it always listed what my iMac was installed with and what I actually have:
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06:
Firmware Revision: Q609

I turn to all of you after spending 1 hour and 45 mins on hold for Apple help, first person had no clue and put me back on hold for someone else who supposedly would have a clue, MAYBE...
PLEASE HELP!!
thank you humbly from someone who admits outright I am SUCH A NEWBIE.

I am trying to burn photos onto a dvd and cd but it keeps saying disc burn error. what do i do? i have already went through 5 cps and 1 dvd.

I have been trying to get these pictures off of my computer so i want to burn them but everytime i try it says disc error. i have tried several different cds. it will say finishing burn but then eject it and says burn disc error.... please help

How are you burning the photos to the disc? Via the Share ➙ Burn menu or buy exporting the photos to a folder on the Desktop and then burning that folder to disc?
The former method creates a mini library on the disk that can only be read and use by a Mac with iPhoto. The latter method saves just the photos to disc which can be used by any computer.
What system and iPhoto version are you using? How much free space do you have on your MacBook Pro?
If you're using the Share ➙ Burn method can you burn a disc from the Finder?
Describe in detail what you're trying so we have a better understanding and can better offer a solution.

Disc Burning Error 4450

I have been encountering this error ** The Attempt to Burn Disc has failed Error 4450*** when trying to burn my Itunes purchases to disc, I have ruined multiple blank discs.I ran the Itunes diagnostics and everything passes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Todd

Here's how I got my problem fixed. First of all my problem was that the songs I had purchased in the past were bought under a different user name (and it was an AOL account, not an Apple account) on a different computer. The AOL account had "expired", meaning the credit card attached to it was no longer valid. After deleting the SC Folder as directed in another discussion the matter got worse.
I went to the iTunes support site (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/) and selected "Authorization" from the "Get Customer Service" list and then "Troubleshooting authorization problems" then clicked on "email us". I explained my issue and the next day I had a response from Apple. I was told I had to convert the AOL account to an Apple account by trying 'to sign in to the iTunes Store three (3) times using your AOL screen name and password.
After the third sign-in attempt, the iTunes Store will ask if you would like to
transition your account to an Apple ID. Click Convert and follow the onscreen
instructions.
As part of this transition, the credit card information in your AOL wallet is
automatically imported into your iTunes Store account. From then on, your iTunes
Store purchases will not be charged to your AOL wallet.
If the credit card for your AOL wallet has expired, or if you have canceled it,
the transition from AOL to Apple ID won't work. In that case, I can convert your
account for you. Before I can do this, however, Apple requires that you provide
the following for security reasons:
- The billing address listed on the account
- Your permission to reset the password
...as well as one of the following:
- the last four digits of the credit card used for your iTunes Store account
- or the order number of your most recent purchase
- or the name of any item you've purchased using this account
Upon receiving your response, Apple will verify your information, convert your
account manually, and send you an email with your new password.
Once you're able to authorize your computer to play purchases made using that
account, you can transfer the items from your iPod to the computer without any
issues.'
Since my credit card had expired I had to send the information and they sent back a
Hope this helps.

Disc Burn Error #4450 - This has been going on for six months now!

I cannot burn discs anymore since two upgrades ago. I have tried EVERYTHING, different discs, cleaning out my computer and my iTunes library, making sure nothing was running in the background ... etc. NO luck. I have no clue what to do now and have not been able to burn discs for six months now. Is there an actual support phone number? This is ridiculous! I remember it was a big problem a while ago, and now they want us to upgrade to iTunes 8. If anyone has any suggestions that they can throw my way it would be greatly appreciated. It's possible I might be missing something, but my discs were burning fine before, of course, I upgraded.
Thanks for any help! ... (^_~)

I am having the same problem - has anyone responded to you yet? I am deserate - there is got to be way - unless I need to update my cd drivers??
Let me know if you here anything.

Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?

Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?
sometimes it will say checking media, then it will do nothing!

Look around for more posts about this. There are TONS. I'm guessing you have upgraded to the newest Itunes. Which apparently makes you CD burning fail! Itunes needs to fix this problem but so far they haven't. I think there are little things that you can do to maybe fix it but I'm not sure so look around for other posts about this same kind of thing, anything along the lines of CD's not burning and error 4280. I wasted 5 CD's trying to get past this error thinking it was my CD's fault.

Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc. Windows 7

Hello queenabs,
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found." I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

Has anyone seen this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"?

Two weeks ago I successfully burnt a CD of Word files. Yesterday I put in a blank DVD and got a formatting error message. I didn't think too much of it (thought I had bad discs).
Tonight I tried to burn a CD out of iTunes. I got this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"
I suspect this is not good.
Can anyone help? Details on the DVD drive below.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the post.
No moving or renaming files, except for I deleted a file related to Adobe Acrobat to remove a toolbar thing. But nothing other than that.
Are there specific files I should be looking out for?
Thanks again.

Disc burner in use by another application error

Unable to burn disc, unknown error (-3)

Client has a Lenovo netbook with an External DVD/CD Burner. With current iTunes Win7 x64 release as of writing.
Whenever she burns a disc it preps the image and when it gets to burning, it pops the disc out and Messages me...
Unable to burn disc, unknown error (-3)
I've checked around and never seen this error code pop up at all on any suppport forums, any ideas I'm willing to try out.

So I got this error for a new playlist that I was attempting to burn. I noticed that it would fail when it reached a specific song in the preparing disc process. Nothing special about this song from what I can tell. I purchased it through iTunes along with the entire album. Once I removed that song from the playlist, it burns with no hangups.
Going to delete that song from the library and reload it from the cloud. Will report back if that helped.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

Can't burn discs. Error message: The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser level for this media can't be burned because the device

Cannot burn discs. Error message: "The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media". Then the blank disc is ejected.

Two main possible causes:
1. Poor media. Verbatim DVD-R work best, burned at only 2x or 4x.
2. Dirty lens. Try cleaning the superdrive with a proprietary CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
