Burning music CD gives unknown error 2605

When burning an audio/music CD is iTunes for Win, I get unknown error code 2605. iTunes diags report that the CD is OK and I am able to create a data CD\DVD within iTunes using the same playlist that will NOT burn a music CD. I am able to rip a music CD in AShampoo - just near as convenient as burning a playlist. The general sympton is that after the burn command is issued, the CD spins up just a little, then stops and the error is reported maybe 10 seconds later.
Apple has two tech docs (that I have seen) on this subject = no relief from their suggestions, Some have reported that editing the CD config file will help - this suggestion was not helpful for me. And burning at slower speeds was also suggested but not helpful. Also tried different brands of CD's - nada. Have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling as that rarely works - but, if I do, I will uninstall with REVO to remove all traces from the registry.
Just came accros two more suggestions which I will try when I have access to the computer - 1) consolidate the library and 2) simplify - create a playlist of 1 song and try that.... basically troubleshoot the playlist itself.
Thoughts/help??

Hello chillum
I couldn't find it, but I saw a post were a few of the CD's in the stack were bad. I have not found a Sony or Maxell CD-R 700MB 80min in the 5 or 10 packs that have been bad (fingers crossed).
Try "Disk Utilities" here is the page that tells how to record on them more than once, see if you can burn then there.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1749.html
Also you are showing Mac OX S (10.4.7) You should update to the (10.4.8 Combo) it also may help with this issue.

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.
Thanks

+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:

HT3204 When attempting to burn an audio cd, I get an error message that says-burning failed due to unknown error (4280)? It has been working fine, until today...what does this mean??

When attempting to burn an audio cd from my playlist, I get an error message that says, burn failed due to unknown error (4280). It has been working fine for months...any solutions?

I have the exact same problem.
Been searching through this site to try and find an answer but still not come up with anything.
The wierd thing is that a couple of days ago it was working fine, and suddenly overnight it's stopped working.
The only solution i've found is that you need to have administrator rights as it says in the posts on the site below:
http://www.emergingearth.com/itunes-7-cant-burn-cds/
Noticed by the diagnostic in your post that you dont have admin rights like me so that mite be the problem. Not sure if this is the right solution though.

ITunes gives unknown error (-50) when syncing songs with iPhone

I recently ripped a few mp3 files to my library and started up iTunes to sync them with my iPhone. If I recall correctly, this prompted me to upgrade to 9.2 of iTunes.
Everything synced perfectly - apps, photos, excpet for the new songs I had ripped - I got the unknown error (-50) syncing the new songs. This puzzled me as I followed the exact same process as I had when ripping all the other songs in the library.
I then removed an existing song from my iPhone, and tried the sync again, and now THAT song also failed to sync. Thus - it sure does not look like a problem with my mp3 files, but some sort of problem with iTunes.
I found this article which was very similar, but ended up being only specific songs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1539
I followed all the steps there, but have yet to achieve success. I have also followed every iTunes upgrade since I started - I am currently at 9.2.1.5.
I also have an iPod Touch, and it experiences the same symptoms, thus once again pointing to iTunes not the device. I even went through the process of restoring my Touch to factory settings, and that did not help. I even upgraded my Touch to 4.0, still no change. With this restore to factory settings, all the music on my Touch was wiped out, and unfortunately now NONE of my songs sync - which includes the almost 300 other songs that were synced perfectly fine before I did the restore.
After the restore - photos, videos, etc. all synced fine - it is just music that has this problem. I do not suspect my USB connection as a result (some of my videos are very large) I have over 10GB free on my 1 GB Touch, and much more than that on my 32 GB iPhone.
I am really stuck here - everything else is working but I can not get any new songs, and I am afraid of doing too much more in case I lose the songs I already have.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Brent.

I just wanted to add that I have updated to iTunes 10, and this problem still exists.

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!

Problem sync with iphone could not transfer music because of unknown error -5000

windows Itunes will not sync my music with Iphone 4s because of unknown error (-5000) ?????

Are you using the latest version of iTunes?
See if there is a solution in the PDF user manual: iPod Manuals

Cannot connect to the Music Store. Unknown error (502).

When I attempt to access the iTunes Music Store I get the following message:
"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. An unknown error occurred (502).
Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
Well...
(1) My network connection is active
(2) I have "tried again"
(3) I have updated my iTunes software
(4) I have reinstalled the updated software
(5) I have run msconfig and tweaked my settings
(6) I e-mailed Apple support and got a return e-mail that explained the my problem had been fixed
(7) The problem has not been fixed.
If anyone has any help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am having the same problem. I tried re-installing the software. I did find this on the website under support:
If you upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2:
Windows XP Service Pack 2, by default, enables the Windows Firewall. As with a third-party firewall, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the Music Store. Read this document for more information. If you have further questions about configuring the Windows Firewall, contact Microsoft's Service Pack 2 hotline at (888) SP2-HELP.
I'm going to call them to see if they have a solution.

TS3694 itunes gives unknown error (21).

Hello, ever since the new IOS update in Oct 2013, my iphone has been slowly dying. when I mean dying I mean certain functions did not work anymore, such as
camera, lock button-( which meant I could not turn phone off unless I ran battery dry). All other functions like messaging or texting, making and recieving calls worked. This continued up until I went to Cuba for a week during Xmas and had to run battery dry so would not incure roaming charges. After returning back to Canada, I tried to charge the Iphone but it kept looping the apple logo over and over. I then connected phone to itunes and tried to restore it and could not. Yes I have latest version of itunes for PC and it would give me unknown error 21. Could this be a batterry issue. Please help..

I just wanted to add that I have updated to iTunes 10, and this problem still exists.

Hi Shiv,
Thank you so much for the quick reply.
It does not create any issue to users but some times we need to kill/disconnect the user session(some times WPF client shows "Already Logged in else where" ) for which we want to resolve this error.
I get this error only when any user does a transmit other than that It does not give any error.
In our case background sync is active So at any point of time at least one user will be connected with the server.
Please help me If you know any other way to disconnect the user from SCC.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

Itunes freezes and gives "unknown error -1202"

How do I solve this? When I sign out of one account to get into another, iTines freezes and must be shut down. Also when I try to access anything in my account or even "redeem" gift cards, then it gives the unknown error -1202.

Well get this....
I have been emailing Apple about the problem, and "Vaibhav" has been no help what so ever, He asked me today to send him a photo of the itunes gift card (code and all) which I think is a little suspect..
I have actually fixed the issue of the gift card myself, I signed into itunes on my parents computer and entered the code, and its now showing in my account.
The problem now (this feels like its never going to end) is that when i have tried to purchase an album (+ by Ed Sheeran fyi) itunes asks me to accept an updated terms of service, i tick the box and click accept, and the bloody 1202 message pops up again:
"We could not complete your iTunes request. An unknown error occured (-1202). There was an error with the iTunes store, please try again later"
I'm getting seriously wound up now with this problem, I've reinstalled itunes twice since christmas, and honestly i feel like apple are just mugging me off!
I've replied to apple with pretty much the post i've just written, now i'll await their reply.........

HT1529 unable to burn playlist in Itunes- "unknown error (-3)

Hi
I have been unable to burn a playlist in Itunes. I get this message:'unknown error (-3)."
Please help!
Thank you
saulgreen

If the songs you are burning are old ones that are FairPlay encoded or have some other DRM then that my be the reason you can no longer burn them.
Here is a reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay
Note that "A particular playlist within iTunes containing a FairPlay-encrypted track can be copied to a CD only up to seven times (originally ten times) before the playlist must be changed".

Provisioning Profiles Generation gives "Unknown Error" after Selecting Members

Well, I can no longer generate provisioning profiles because it gives an unknown error after selecting members and clicking continue. Any workarounds?

They mentioned when I called that the (-18) error is a network error because of their activation servers being down at this time. They said the activation servers are used to authenticate restores through iTunes for the iPhone. It should be back up tonight or tomorrow sometime according to support.
So if its not back up by tomorrow I will call again. Thanks for the help.
