Burning cd, error 4000

Question

I get really tired of iTunes! When I try to burn a cd I get very often the error code 4000. Sometimes it's possible to burn a cd but more often it fails. Please help me with a solution.

Answer 1

I have the same issue with error code 4000. I have been using iTunes for about a year now and have occasionally had this problem. Now when I try to burn this is all that happens and that is the error popping up while the disc is being ejected. I bought some Maxell CD-R’s in bulk about six months ago and other than the occasional error, they have worked fine. I was still managing to burn discs after I upgraded to version 7.0.2; however, now I am left with this error code even after trying to use different discs. When this error message appeared, I checked the option to force the optical power calibration before burning yet this has had no effect. Still while looking at the DVD/CD diagnostics the report states that I still need to turn this option on. I have not even been able to find this option anywhere under the preferences menu. I attempted to update the ATA IDE bus drivers but I have the current updates according to the manufacturer.
After researching on the internet and reading through these forums, I have now concluded that this is a problem with iTunes and if Apple does not solve this problem, I am going to take my business elsewhere. I do not want to buy a Mac because I enjoy using my PC and having the freedom to buy hardware and software from various manufacturers and if Apple cannot keep the millions of PC users happy with iTunes and Ipod then I guess they do not want our money either.

Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
