Burn failed/ unknown error/ (1771)?

I just attempted to make a copy of the contents in my smart playlist, so as to have a copy of all my music in case during upgrading to iTunes 6 anything happens. Im using DVD's to make Data discs and the first one burnt fine and then it told me to put in another DVD which I did, but then I got this 1771 error. I have tryed numerous times since to burn the songs that didnt make it onto the first disc, but keep getting the same error. I have tryed 3 brands of DVD's but I dont think that is the problem, as I have used the same brand for at least a year now. Please help!

I am having problems creating a data DVD. At first I thought it was the type of DVD's I was using (DVD+R's); so I went out this weekend and purchased DVD-R's. The type of DVD's must not have been the problems since I kept getting the same error message (The attempt to burn failed. Error 1771). I know my DVD burner works because I created a movie in another program and burned it to a DVD. I'm convinced the problem lies with itunes but don't know how to fix it. I have itunes version 6.01 installed on my computer. I read the discussion string below find myself a bit confused. Can anyone please help?

Burning Fail, Unknown Error 4550

Hi,
I've wasted about 4 CDs today trying to back up my iTunes purchases I have never had this problem burning before, I have tried memorex discs and Philips CD/R. The disc begins to burn, saves the track information (title, length etc) then I get a message saying the burn has failed and it will take a few minutes to stop the process.
Any idea what's going on?

+I have tried memorex discs and Philips CD/R.+
After wasting a bunch of brand-name discs like you did years ago, I decided to quit iTunes for burning any backups. Esepcially after I tried to test my backup strategy, and none of the iTunes discs would restore properly.
Thank goodness I backed up my important files like normal. Through Windows Exploder.

Does the name of the playlist have any punctation in it? & or ? or @ signs? Try removing them and trying the CD burn again.

The attempt to burn a disc failed, unknown error (261). Can't back up to CD

The attempt to burn a disc failed, unknown error (261). I get this message every time I try to back up my music from itunes on to a CD. It doesn't matter if I try to back up all music or only music purchased from itunes. So far I have not been able to back up anything. Can someone please help me!!!! I have tried everything on the support website from apple, and nothing has worked. I am beginning to get very frustrated.

+I know my computer is up to date on firmware, because I just bought this laptop 4 months ago - it's a brand new Dell Inspiron 1721.+
Actually, in that case I definitely think you should check your firmware. I just had a look at the 32-bit Vista downloads page at Dell for your Inspiron 1721, and there's firmware updates listed there for four different drive models, all dated within the last four months.
Head to the following Dell page and enter your model information to get to your Downloads page:

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.

TFTP 'configuration update' from 5508 WLC fails stating reason as '%Error: Config file transfer failed – Unknown error –refer to log'

Dear Experts,
I have two WLCs and other management devices as part of same subnet. I am able to upload ‘configs’ from all the devices on to my TFTP server. However when I am attempting to do the same from one of my WLC, it is failing consistently stating error message as:
‘%Error: Config file transfer failed – Unknown error –refer to log
Has anyone else too faced the same issue and how would we overcome this? Any specific debug that could help get more details on it?
Though the error message says, refer to log but still I don’t see anything that gets reflected in ‘Monitor logs’ which is related to ‘configuration file’ upload failure.
WLC code: 7.4.100.0
PFA as the error snippet.
Thanks and Regards,
Adnan

Hi Kaneswaran,
Just a soft reboot helped me solved the problem :). Still I am on 7.4 and facing no issues after this.
Apologies for coming too late to respond. Getting a down time window was not that easy and so was much delayed to try soft reload. I am still on 7.4 and facing no issue.
Glad that in your case it starting working all of a sudden. Could you please verify from 'show tech-support' to confirm if by chance your WLC had undergone any crash that could have caused the WLC to reload and thus accidently fixing the issue :)
Best Regards,
Muhammed Adnan

Attempt to burn a disc failed - unknown error 4260

I see there are lots of topics about not being able to burn CDs in iTunes but I can't find one with the exact same error message as mine - 4260. I've not had any problems before (I haven't tried to burn a CD for some months), but today I tried to burn a CD with purchased tracks from iTunes Store, and it seemed to have burned okay. Then when I played it in the car, the first 3 tracks were fine and then the rest were jumpy and had an awful background noise. Came home and found it wouldn't play properly in the computer (froze iTunes at track 4) or on my CD player. Tried again to burn to another disc, iTunes went through the motions, no problem, then said it was finalising the disc, then suddenly said it was cancelling the burn, and "Attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error [4260] occurred". Again the first three tracks play okay, but the rest do not. The first 11 tracks are from an album I only downloaded yesterday, they play from the library and are authorised to play on my computer, so that's not the problem.
I can't find a reference to this particular error on iTunes support base online or in this forum. If anyone can help I'd be very grateful but I realise that it's a big problem for a lot of people. I don't understand why it worked alright before but now doesn't. I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes recently (v.6.0.4.2), so perhaps that's the problem?

In case anyone reads this, I managed to burn my CD by changing the speed of the burn in iTunes. It was set on Maximum possible and I noticed from the CD Diagnostic report (see previous article) that the speed of the drive was listed as 16, but the burn had failed at 24x, so I reduced it to 12 to be safe, and it worked. It plays okay in the car but I have noticed that when I restart the player, it doesn't seem to recognise the CD and ejects it so that I have to push it back in, and it then starts at track 1 again. Not sure if this is to do with the way it was burned, but at least its playing the tracks!

CD Burn attemp failed unknown error 4880

I am trying to burn a play list to a cd and keep getting unknown error 4880.
I have lowered the speeds on 16 it went the furthest 8 songs before canceling the burn and giving me the unknown error 4880. I just downloaded the newest I Tunes version and ideas or suggestions to get this burn to cd disc working ?
LOL I just tried burning again at speed 8 and got error 4900 this time....

I was having a similar problem with iTunes burning cd's. Not finding any help in the discussions I merely downloaded a free burn program (admittedly it was for MacOSX, but a google search will give you many more options for Windows). I was then able to drag the M4a files to the burn window in the program and create an Audio CD painlessly, and, I might add, faster than iTunes typically burned cd's... when it worked.

CD Burn Fail. Error 4280

The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occured. 4280
How do I fix this? What does it mean? Diagnostics is able to read and report the drive and error. (Mashita UJ840D)

Maybe I did figure it out afterall - I tried removing a couple tracks from my playlist - ones I had burned to disc earlier - and the burn went through without a hitch.
Apparently now you can burn an iTune only once - unless you pay the extra 30 cents or so per song - for unlimited burn rights.

Attempt to burn failed - 4450 error

I see at least two other people have encountered this error. I put a new CD in and attempt to burn some purchased songs to it. The process starts, looks like it's working on the first song, and then I get a message that iTunes is cancelling the burn and the error:
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred. 4450."
When I check the CD, all the tracks are list as 1KB .cda files which is, of course, enough to make the CD useless.
I found a KB article at one point that suggested updating my CD drivers. I checked but there were no newer ones that what I have installed already. Has anyone solved this problem in any other way? My CD drive is listed as LG CD-RW 8080B when I look in device manager. I also just updated to the latest version of iTunes.
Compaq Presario - Pentium III Windows XP Pro

I'm having exactly the same problem. Get the message after it burns the 1st song. I've run the latest Itunes updates, tried to reinstall it, same problem. Gone through 10 blanks now, very frustrated, never had the trouble before. I've tried Maxell & TDK discs. Moved burn speed way down, still no deal. No updates are available for my driver either. Here is my diagnostic. I keep seeing others with this problem, but no real solutions yet, argh.
