Burn error 4251

Sorry I know this has been addressed in post ealier but i have recently down loaded Itunes music from the store and get error 4251 after around the third song burn't.
I am able to burn all music i have imported from CD but the purchesed album just will not burn.
I have the most recent driver and firmware software for my HP 8200e cd writer and just cannot get the full album to burn.
Any suggestions?

Have found loads of messages containing error 4251 but with no real resolution to problem.
All i want to do is burn the music i purchased to CD for use in the car.
Will not be purchasing from I-tunes again if cannot resolve problem.

Burn error 4251 and 4221

Hi
I have get errors 4251 or 4221 when trying to burn audio files from itunes. I have a Toshiba Satellite which uses MS Vista.
Does anyone happen to know how to fix this by any chance???
Thanks heaps.

I don't know about 4221, but this is what I did for 4251 (though, I still don't know what the error actually means):
Go to "Edit" > "Preferences" > click the "Advanced" tab > and then the "Burning" tab.
Then lower the preferred speed (say, from 24x to 16x) and change the gap between songs from two seconds to none.
Since doing this I've only had the error come up a couple of times in which case I just lowered the speed once again.
Hope this helps

ITunes Burn Error 4251-NEED HELP!

I am having problems completing a burn with my Itunes playlist that I have created with in my Itunes player; I have set my preferences, set a lower speed, etc. to try to correct this but still get the Error 4251 popup everytime I try to burn. The audio CD will eject after Itunes says CANCELLING BURN-THIS MAY TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO.
If there anyone on here who can help with this, please post a reply.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Hmmm, Wiseguy, what's that scene in Blazing Saddles...? Where the guy holds a gun to his own head and says no one move or the n* gets it.
But let's see if we can get you straightened out.
Let's start with the support page for your computer.
You're going to want the update for the Pioneer firmware. The version of firmware they have here is 1.10 and you're running 1.00.
If that doesn't help, come back and we'll try something else.

Error 4251 while burning to a disc

I keep getting an "Attempt to burn disc failed error 4251" message while trying to burn playlists to a disc. I've upgraded to the newest version of iTunes and tried using the lowest speed setting and the highest maximum to no avail. Any suggestions?

Not sure I can help very much, but I have had similar problems with large projects. I think (but I'm not sure) that iDVD does not do a very good job of estimating the size of the project until it starts to render/encode. So your project might be too big even for a dual-layer DVD. Can you reduce the size/length of the movie at all. And/or reduce the size of any iDVD slideshows you might also have in the iDVD project.
One small trick (I think this is true, but again I'm not 100% sure) is to reduce the size of the audio. If you use songs from iTunes, what format are they? I keep my songs in Apple Lossless which makes the files large. When I compress them to say AAC 128 or 160 in iTunes, and then use those smaller file versions in my iMovie project or slideshows, it reduces the size of the iDVD project.

I cannot find an answer to any of the previously posted topics about unknown error 4251 when attempting to burn a playlist to disc, and I've gone through 25 CD-Rs trying to fix it myself. I've reduced the write speed, maximised the write speed, and changed CD-R and CD-RW brands twice (Maxell and Fuji). Please, please help!

Compaq Presario v2000 Windows XP

I guess the model number is V2414NR. Does that sound right?
that's perfect. i found your downloads page at HP.
although there's nothing there by way of firmware for the Pioneer drive that is throwing the error, there are a few other downloads of note:
Software & Driver downloads: Compaq Presario V2414NR notebook PC (XP)
check to see if your HP Notebook System BIOS is up to date.
check to see if that AMD Processor Update for Microsoft Windows XP is relevant to your particular configuration of V2414NR. if so, check to see if you're up to date with that.
check to see if your up to date on that IDE Controller Enhancement.
check to see if your Graphics Driver for ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Chipset is up to date.
once you're satisfied you're up to date, do you still get the 4251?
(if no joy, we'll start checking on that virtual drive showing up in the diagnostics.)

Error 4251 when trying to burn

I've had iTunes for years but just bought and downloaded an album, when I tried to burn I got error 4251. I tried burning three times but got the same error, any idea how to fix this?

"I've had iTunes for years but just bought and downloaded an album, when I tried to burn I got error 4251. I tried burning three times but got the same error, any idea how to fix this?"
I've seen multiple threads on this same error message. Since I'm very new to iTunes, I thought it was me or my PC, so I guess I'm relieved in a way to learn that this problem is being experienced even by long-time iTunes users.
To me, this says that something in a recent release of iTunes is the culprit. What I don't know is if Apple will consider a problem that Windows users are having to be serious enough to investigate and fix.
I actually thought I had a work-around. I went to edit/preferences/advanced/burning and changed to speed from the highest speed to 16X, and I managed to get 10 songs on a disc before it went 4251. I took the speed down to 6X, and got 12 songs. I went to 2X, and it went 4251 after 5 songs.
So much for that work-around.

Error 4251 in disk burning...

When I go to burn a disk, I have all my songs checked. I know they are all authorized for my computer and they are all checked, and that they will all fit on the computer. It works until it starts burning the first song then it cancels the disk and it says error 4251(this happens every time to every playlist), .. How do I fix this? Is it even fixable or is it my disk drive? Or is it the song files? I also have music from other music services that offer downloads. This really annoys me because I used to be able to burn music and now I have no way to back up my music or make a CD.

Burning Disc Error 4251

I'm attempting to burn an audio cd, but as soon as it appears to burn the first song, the cd is spit out and I get the error 4251. This is so frustrating because I have no idea what the error message means. Any ideas?
Windows XP Burning an audio CD

After several failed attempts at solving my burning issues with Apple support (who had no idea what to do) I have found something out. The new "Protected AAC" formatted songs will cause a "failed burn" error message. I own 2 different computers and have tried 2 different types of CD-Rs. I have found that Windows Media Player will burn just fine, and that in iTunes I can burn all my old music (under "kind" look for "AAC audio file") just fine also. So I seem to have norrowed it down to Apple's new protected formats called "Protected AAC audio file"
So far this is all I've got. Just don't buy anything else from iTunes for now.
Anyone else have any ideas

Unknown error 4251 when attempting to burn a CD

Since I've upgraded to itunes 6, I can't burn a CD. Any attempt results in an unknown error 4251. My firmware's up to date; nothing else has changed. So, how do I burn a CD now?!

Burn error 4315 and 4450

I have burned one cd in audio successfully. I have recently purchased new music and have followed all the steps to create another one and it wont burn and I get these two burn errors 4315 and 4450.
Can anyone help me understand what this means?

Same thing has been happening to me. Hope someone can help!
I burned one CD (there was an error message after burning) and it doesn't play properly. Subsequent attempts to burn the same playlist - and I tried a different playlist too, just in case it was that particular album - result in the error message mentioned in the above posting. It starts to burn, then ejects the cd with the message "error 4251", even when I select a slower write speed. Diagnostics show no problem, but it seems to test only for reading, not writing.

Can Someone please help me with ERROR 4251

I have tried everything! even slowing down the burn speed.
Can someone please help with error 4251 when burning.
I have my diagnostics report done as well.
Thank you to anyone who can help.

I did a quick google search for "iTunes error 4251" and this was the first result.

The last post in that forum said a few things.
1.Restart computer
2.Disable anti-virus/security programs
3.Update hardware and software drivers.(I'm guessing mainly the cd-rom drive drivers)
Try those things and see if it is still a problem.
