  • CD Burn Error 4450 - solved!

    I kept getting the dreaded 'unknown error 4450' when burning from iTunes to CDs. Once I changed the burn speed to '12x', it worked fine! I wich I knew that before I wasted a stach of blank CD's I hope this helps some of you!

    Hi all...
    Im not sure if this problem has been solved for any of you or not but i have been most frustrated by the issue... until I came across the answer that solved the problem for me - It turns out that my HP printer was conflicting with itunes... which sounds crazy and yet its not first time that my printer has done something stupid... i got additional info from this genius.... below is the link, i hope it solves the problem for at least one of you!

  • CD Burning error 4450 and 4850

    I've tried burning CD's from my iTunes and it flat out doesn't work anymore. It starts and then cancels after a few seconds with 'error 4450' and sometimes it goes on to the second song but then cancels with an 'error 4850.' I've also noticed I can't import sometimes, even if the CD has virtually no scratches. Is it my CD drive or is something else up? Please help!

    I'm having exactly the same problem with 4450 & 4850 errors, using compatible hardware and several different brands of blank media. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and made sure my drive's drivers are current. It seems that a number of users are experiencing the same problem, and I'm anxious to see an explanation and solution posted.

  • Disc Burning Error 4450

    I have been encountering this error ** The Attempt to Burn Disc has failed Error 4450*** when trying to burn my Itunes purchases to disc, I have ruined multiple blank discs.I ran the Itunes diagnostics and everything passes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Todd

    Here's how I got my problem fixed. First of all my problem was that the songs I had purchased in the past were bought under a different user name (and it was an AOL account, not an Apple account) on a different computer. The AOL account had "expired", meaning the credit card attached to it was no longer valid. After deleting the SC Folder as directed in another discussion the matter got worse.
    I went to the iTunes support site (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/) and selected "Authorization" from the "Get Customer Service" list and then "Troubleshooting authorization problems" then clicked on "email us". I explained my issue and the next day I had a response from Apple. I was told I had to convert the AOL account to an Apple account by trying 'to sign in to the iTunes Store three (3) times using your AOL screen name and password.
    After the third sign-in attempt, the iTunes Store will ask if you would like to
    transition your account to an Apple ID. Click Convert and follow the onscreen
    instructions.
    As part of this transition, the credit card information in your AOL wallet is
    automatically imported into your iTunes Store account. From then on, your iTunes
    Store purchases will not be charged to your AOL wallet.
    If the credit card for your AOL wallet has expired, or if you have canceled it,
    the transition from AOL to Apple ID won't work. In that case, I can convert your
    account for you. Before I can do this, however, Apple requires that you provide
    the following for security reasons:
    - The billing address listed on the account
    - Your permission to reset the password
    ...as well as one of the following:
    - the last four digits of the credit card used for your iTunes Store account
    - or the order number of your most recent purchase
    - or the name of any item you've purchased using this account
    Upon receiving your response, Apple will verify your information, convert your
    account manually, and send you an email with your new password.
    Once you're able to authorize your computer to play purchases made using that
    account, you can transfer the items from your iPod to the computer without any
    issues.'
    Since my credit card had expired I had to send the information and they sent back a
    Hope this helps.

  • CD Burn Error 4450

    I have been getting 4450.
    Today I burned through 14 discs (three different brands) attempting to copy various playlists. It would kick in for a minute or so and then spit out the CD, saying that the burn speed was too high or giving me error prompt 4450.
    I tried kicking down the burn speed to 4x -- even though it's always been set at ''maximum possible'' -- and same thing.
    A similar thing happened when I tried Windows Media Player.
    But I was able to burn a CD using Roxio.
    Trouble is, I want access to my downloaded music on iTunes.
    Any ideas?

    Oh, and here are my diagnostics. This is driving me nuts!

  • Disc Burn Error #4450 - This has been going on for six months now!

    I cannot burn discs anymore since two upgrades ago. I have tried EVERYTHING, different discs, cleaning out my computer and my iTunes library, making sure nothing was running in the background ... etc. NO luck. I have no clue what to do now and have not been able to burn discs for six months now. Is there an actual support phone number? This is ridiculous! I remember it was a big problem a while ago, and now they want us to upgrade to iTunes 8. If anyone has any suggestions that they can throw my way it would be greatly appreciated. It's possible I might be missing something, but my discs were burning fine before, of course, I upgraded.
    Thanks for any help! ... (^_~)

    I am having the same problem - has anyone responded to you yet? I am deserate - there is got to be way - unless I need to update my cd drivers??
    Let me know if you here anything.

  • Error 4450 when trying to burn a cd

    Please help me to fix this issue. I have the latest version of iTunes, and my burner is working correctly, and I am using blank discs.
    I purchased $20 of music and made a playlist to burn, it checks, initializes and begins burn, then alerts me that it is being cancelled and gives me this error "the attempt to burn a disc failed, unknown error 4450"
    I have the preference set to audio cd, checked my burner and discs, it all works. I tried restarting computer. Logging off and back on to iTunes, updated iTunes, repaired iTunes, removed iTunes, installed older version 7.1 but then it couldn't read my library, so reinstalled 7.6 and still not able to burn
    Please help?!

    OK, I feel like an idiot.
    I tried all the suggestions, from lowering burn speed, running diagnostics, etc etc.
    After contacting Apple and complaining about the service and inability to burn a CD of music I purchased, I finally opened my drive, and looked at the lens, it had a thin residue all over the entire lens and disc holding area, I simply wiped it off gently with a soft cloth, and voila!
    I can burn now!

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".

    Im trying to burn a halifax cd i baught on itunes and the disk burn gets cancelled not in any paticular song (ive tried a few times) and it says unable to burn because of error 4450 what do i do?

    Hi, imanewbie. Somehow you've wandered into a forum devoted to iPhoto. You would probably do better to post your question in this iTunes forum, where other people who are saddled with Windows will try to help you. Good luck!

  • CD burn problem "unknown error 4450"

    Hello everyone, I've been surching quite everywhere about the "unknown error 4450" but nothing found. Does someone know how to resulf this problem??? Please help, because I'd like to burn my downloaded songs.. Thanks!!

    Hi Everyone,
    I've had the problem since I've upgraded to Vista, I thought it was a driver problem until I had no problem burning a CD using Media Player. However I managed to find a solution (although not ideal).
    If you run a CD diagnotic in iTunes, you'll find it thinks you are not an administrator for some reason. So I created a new administrator account, and then saved my iTunes library and logged in as the new administrator account. All of a sudden the problem disappeared!!!
    So it looks like iTunes can't see that I'm an administrator. If someone can tell me how to fix this particular element, I'd love it. As right now, if I want to burn a CD, I have to change account, and re-import the entire library. Bottom line is it's a pain, but at least I know it's not a driver or hardware problem.
    Hope this helps everyone.

  • 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?
    Thank you.
    Nessy

    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

  • Error 4450 when burning

    Help! I am using an HP Pavillion ze5300 and I just started to get an error 4450 when attempting to burn CD's after reinstalling my OS. I can't find any updates that I missed!
    Heres my diagnostic:
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    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.

    D: HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4240N, Rev 0111
    Drive is empty.
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4450(0x00001162). It happened on drive D: HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4240N on CDR media at speed 16X.

    hmmm. a search at HP on ze5300 turns up a lot of different models:
    Pavilion ze5300
    ... so i'm thinking ze5300 may be your series number rather than your model number.
    what is the model number on your wee lass? the following HP document may be of some help with determining that:
