Burning cds error 0x80020022

i can burn music cds, but nothing else.
"communication to the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)"
no, NOT using toast.

ok, seems to be disk-related. tried other disks and it works ok. i've read elsewhere that slot-loading superdrives have very tight tolerances. that appears to be the problem.
so the question is answered, and the problem is solved, although not entirely to my satisfaction. (i mean, i wasn't using off-brand disks to begin with. so now i have a whole stack of disks that don't work in my $1,500 imac. hrummph. maybe i should buy an external burner so i can use them up. the on-board drive reads them fine, it just won't burn them.)

  • Cannot burn CDs - Error 4261

    So the deal is that I used to be able to burn with this cmputer fine using itunes. All of a sudden, it stopped being able to burn, giving me an unknown error (4261). I thought this was because I updated to version 6, so i installed version 5. I still cannot burn anything. I have tried to find firmware and I don't think there are any files available for me to download. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I sincerely appreciate your help. Thanks!

  • Problem burning CDs error 4000

    I keep trying to burn Cd's, but it keeps canceling the burn before it gets started. I've switched cd drives, but both get the same error, and I've never had this problem before. I just updated windows and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can anyone help please?

    I get the same error code whenever I try to burn dvds - cds burn without problem on my iBook. Not sure why it's happening, new to macs myself... probably best to get in touch with apple.

  • Error 0x80020022 when trying to burn a CD.

    What is this Error 0x80020022 when trying to burn a CD.

    I had that error too. Many times!
    I tried a lot of different CDs.
    And for two times I got new superdrives (warranty).
    I thought it's over now, but today it came back... :-(
    So, it's definitely NOT a broken superdrive.
    But while reading all the posts with the same problem I began thinking about the lens.
    Maybe it's not the scratches or printings or quality of the CDs.
    Maybe it's the grease spots from the fingers???
    So I rubbed it clean, only touching on the very outside and tried again. It worked!
    I just wanted to share this.
    Could it be so easy?

  • Error Code when trying to burn cds

    Hi
    i have tried to burn cds using my iMac but for the last while i have been getting the same error , "burning of the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. Error code 0x80020022"
    this error appears if i try to burn music cds or data cds ( documents/photos etc. ) . i searched through all the forums but i can't find a solution. i have tried using disk utility to repair permissions etc. but it says there all fine. i have tried changing cd brands but it doesn't make a difference. i can't use the hardware test on my installation cd because it just spins in the cd and then spits the cd out and just starts as normal yet when i put in a cd it reads it and asks if i want to import it into iTunes. i downloaded Onyx and let it do its thing but that didn't fix it. i also went looking but i can't find a firmware update for the cd drive on my mac. the cd drive in my mac is a "MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8124" . I was wondering if this was a common problem and how do i go about fixing it. one person told me that the cd burner would probably need to be replaced in order to fix this problem is that correct and is that costly . i'm at a loss to what else i can try so i would be very thankful for any help or information you could give to help me get this back working again. Thanks a million
    Paul

    Hi there,
    I am writing here as an "end-user" and not as a professional computer advisor, and because I've had some problems alike with my older iMac. I've written about my case in here:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1832474&tstart=0
    I would also like to know if there are some procedures to do in OS X (I have 10.3.9) regularly to make sure that the internal cd-rw-drive burns without "having it's own opinion" and giving all kind's of stuped error-signals or even throwing-out the cd-rw's when ordered to burn them.
    I haven't figured out if there is a straight way to do this in OS X with the original Apple-applications. However, I've found a 3rd party freeware application called Burn X Free (1.5 (v1.5)) which at the moment seems to work and do the job of burning cd-rw's. Earlier I was able to burn them in Finder, after going from OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.9 I begun to have burnig-problems, but might be that the origin of the problems is not the X 10.3.9. Anyway, with my user short experience of Burn X Free (1.5 (v1.5))-application I can recommend it if nothing else after all maintenance procedures works...
    However, I would like to know how you solved the problem after all.

  • Error 4000 burning CDs with iTunes 7.1

    iTunes checks the disc, then burns 3-4 songs, then cancels the CD burn wasting yet another disc. Also, I cannot backup my purchased songs with the backup feature. I get the same error 4000 when attempting to make a backup disc. These problems only began after installing iTunes 7.0. How can these problems be fixed? TIA.
    BTW, other CD/DVD burning applications continue to function fine.
    Here are the iTunes 7.1 diagnostics results:

    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.

    Same problems here. I have 2 different computers and tries 2 different CD-Rs and I found out that it has soemthing to do with the new "Protected AAC audio file" format.
    Open iTunes, click on music, on the listing side of the screen right click on name, and then click on "kind".
    I bet you can't burn anything with the "Protected AAC audio file."
    No solutions yet, so just don't buy anything else from iTunes for now.

  • I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

    I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks, Jack

  • When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."

    When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."  I have unistalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and have cleaned up the registry using a 3rd party Windows utility.  Any tips on removing this error message for good?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    Can I uninstall existing iTunes without losing my media library?  and then install fresh to fix this problem?
