The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

When trying to burn a CD, I'm getting an error that reads:The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error. I experienced this message before and took my Macbook in to the store and the the genius was stumped but when he tried one of his CD's it burned fine to he concluded that the problem was in the CD's NOT the Macbook or program HOWEVER, months later, I'm having the same issue using the NEW CD's. Does anyone have any information about this?

3 methods to fix this:
The first is to reset pram
at boot up hold four keys down till you hear 3 chimes:
command(apple)=option+p+r
release keys and it will now reboot.
The second is to reset nvram
at boot up hold four keys down:
command(apple)+option+o+f
a black screen will appear
now type: reset-nvram
click enter
now type: reset-all
click enter
it will now reboot
The third is to open system preferences.
go to international
under languages: drag any of the other languages to the top, then drag english back to the top.
make sure "order for sorted lists" is set to english
make sure "word break" is set to english(united states, computer)
then restart.
I hope this helps you as it certainly did me. :^)

I am getting an error every time i try to burn a playlist. The error reads The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

Can somebody help me. I used to be able to burn with no problem. But now while finishing discs, I get the following message.
The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

Try a different brand of discs. Try restarting your computer.

Attempt to Burn Disc Failed Unknown Error (4450)

Attempt to Burn Disc Failed Unknown Error (4450) this is what i get whenever i try to burn a disc, help?

TS1436 The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occured (4310)

Trying to burn audio CD for first time using new acer computer with windows 8, and get the following message:
"The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occured (4310)"

same deal.
acer 4752, windows 8 x64, less than 1 year old.. used to burn CD's ok in iTunes but now gets error 4310.
I tried..
lowering the CD write speed (even down to 1x). --> fail. still 4310. I tested the CDR by burning some random files in windows and it worked fine.
using compatibility mode with windows 7 and windows XP. not only did both not help, but XP mode crashed iTunes. --> fail.
giving up and using windows media player. This worked! resolved, yay..

"The attempt to burn disc failed."

Hi,
I have an older MBP, from July of the first year they were sold...2006? Can't remember. Anyway. I am running tiger still and everything is up to date. 10.4.11, iTunes 7.6 etc etc....
Anyway. My problem is, I can't get anything to burn!! Extended hardware test does not reveal any problems...
Here is what is happening..
I want to burn music so that I can play it in my car. I had a stack of 2 year old Sony CD-R's that I was using and they were perfectly, except I ran out of them. So I bought the same exact thing again...and iTunes spits out the cd and says "The attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." Ok so I tried another disc. Same issue. Then I went and took one of my brothers 2 year old Sony CD-Rs and it worked perfectly. So I exchanged my new stack of cds for the same thing, same issue and returned them.
Since then I have burned a couple of movie DVDs on Sony DVD-Rs and they work fine. I have even burned data DVDs on Playo DVD-Rs.
This evening I purchased a stack of HP Music CD-Rs and guess what! My computer spit them out and said the same exact error message!!!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Is it a Tiger issue?
It can't be hardware related because I have proven it can burn with no problem (just on older cds). Is it maybe a cd issue? Are newer cds somehow formated in a different way that will not work with my combination of hardware and software?
Maybe I should just spend the $300 and get an ipod adapter installed in my car...
Thanks
Adam

Hi ASal,
If your Optical drive is reading correctly then the report suggests that there is already data on that disc and it cannot be written to again. Needless to say, only a CD/RW can be burned to more than once. Your info suggests that it is definitely a CD-R.
Double click your disc mounted on the desktop and see if there is any data on it. If there is then you cannot burn to it again. (Not without burning the data in "Sessions."-- A CD-R can have multiple burns in different sessions, but it cannot write over the top of already existing data. You will need a CD/RW if you wish to be able to completely erase and write again. See how you go. Hope this helps.
It appears that your profiler is well able to SEE the CD-R, but you still might have CD Burn issues. Have you tried just burning data to a CD-R through the Finder to see if burns successfully..? If it does, then you should be able to burn audio through iTunes too. Make sure youre not trying to fit too much data on the disc too. That is a common error with people...
Make sure the discs you are using are completely blank.
Regards,
Ben.

Cannot Burn Discs / Error 4450

My iTunes will not burn my selected playlist. I insert a disc, it initializes, begins writing my songs however stops and ejects the disk. An error message pops up,
"attempt to burn disc failed. unknown error occurred 4450"
Once this happens to the disc, the disc is no longer considered blank even though the attempt was cancelled per the computer. I am wasting discs and very frustrated since I was told itunes is very user-friendly. Please help.
Here are the details about my computer:
Pavilion HP Slimline s7500y PC
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 2002
iTunes 7.0.2.16
Intel R Celerom RM Processor 1.70 GHz, .99 GB of RAM
I need very specific instructions. I am not a technology savvy person; minimal knowledge of computers. Thanks.

I am having the same problem! I have tried everything that has been suggested and nothing has worked. I've downloaded the new version of iTunes, checked for updates on my drivers, reducted the speed and the playback gap, and nothing is working. The CD burns to about the 3rd song, then gives the error message and now that CD is no longer read as empty (I can no longer use it have been forced to throw many away). I'm wasting CDs here! Any help would be greatly appereciated.

"The Attempt to burn disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser

I was trying to burn a cd the other day and it failed and this massage came up.
"The attempt to burn disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
does anyone know how to get rid of this or know how to fix it?

In my experience the problem is random. Sometimes I burn with no problem. This morning my first burn worked fine. Then I had 4 failures in a row. Tried changing nothing. Tried changing burn speed. Tried quitting itunes,etc. Nothing always works so I assume that my manipulations are having no effect even though eventually it works. I am now having a sucessful burn. Thank goodness that it does not ruin the blank but it seems to be increasing in frequency. I used to have the problem once and then could burn 4-5 successfully. Now I've had 3 successes our of 8-9 tries.
Why doesn't apple address this problem? I see hundreds of posts with the same problem. Many are archived. Some like this thread claim to answered. But the problem is that, in my experience, the problem comes and goes. Sometimes I have sucess without changing anything after a failure. Today I quit iTunes and when I started it up again it failed once and now its just finished a sucessful burn. I'm burning the same playlist each time of unprotected music but I notice no difference whether I'm burning purchased music, ripped music, downloaded music, aiff, aac, acc protected, mpeg or a mixture of same.
My sucessful burn was at 6X. Now I'm having a sucessful burn at maximum possible (6X takes too long!). Two in row!
I am using tiger 10.4.5 1 ghz powerpc g4 512 mb ddr sdram with about 10 gigs free on the hard drive it that's of any relevance.
Just realized that if I can count to 30 before the intialization goes to writing it is going to fail. So what? I don't know, can't stand the suspense.

Error 4261 when attempting to burn disc

I was able to burn discs just fine but then suddenly I get this error 4261. The disc willl begin to burn and then I get a message saying cancelling disc burn and the disc ejects and I get a message ending with 4261.
Have lowered the recording speed, bought new CD-R discs;
Has anyone found the fix to this?

I am having the same problem - I just switched to 5.0 and can't burn.

This is a fairly brand new Windows 8 laptop with all hardware and most software out of the box. I did have Virtual Clone Drive installed, but I unistalled it to rule it out as a culprit.
Every time I try to burn a disk, it briefly says "Initializing..." then "Cancelling..." then the error in the subject. This happens at every speed (down to 4x), and regardless of audio or MP3 CD option chosen. Below are the diagnostics results.
P.S. I was able to successfully burn an audio CD from Windows Media Player at 24x (I think).

Burn Disc Error Code 0x8020063

I've been trying to burn photo files onto a disc for the past 4 days. Initially I was attempting to burn raw photos to a disc and ended up converting the images to JPEG. I've tried using Finder, iPhoto and Apeture and all three programs give me the same error message "This disc could not be verified and might be unrediable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (Error Code 0x80020063)" - I've gone through 8 or 9 blanks discs so far on two separate computers. Any suggestions

Have you tried a different brand of discs? Have you tried cleaning the drive's lens?
