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.

DVD Burn fails (Error code 0x80020022), newish drive, just applied updates

Hello,
when i try to burn a data dvd with a variety of files from finder on my power mac g5 it thinks a while and then fails with the message:
Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed (Error code 0x80020022)
I just downloaded the latest OS updates last night.
Disc utility showed permissions problems in some files on my boot drive including in a darwin folder but they repaired fine.
Two weeks ago apple replaced my superdrive and i hadn't tried burning a dvd since then, but cds did and do burn fine.
This computer is under warrantee but in case the latest software updates caused this, or if someone has an easy fix that would allow me to save the trip to the store for analysis and potential couple day wait...
i'm all ears!
Thanks, Will

At one point in the last few days i did run out of disk space on one drive, but i think i had 5Gig free on the short drive when i was trying it earlier, and i have upped that to 30.
My spindled HP DV-16Xs worked on the drive i had before pretty darn well.. I've tried a bunch of unlabeled ones, i've also tried burning at 1x, and i went out and bought some jewel cased verbatim dvd-r 16Xs, same problem.
I will take one more shot at finding the best media using that website, get some 8Xs if i can find them, before hauling it into apple.
without the dvd burner it's hard to backup very well, I was planning to get a external hard drive next month.

Cant burn getting Error 4280 (Yes I have latest version)

I was having this issue before I upgraded to the newest version and still seem to not be able to burn.
I am getting Error 4280?
There isnt much info on this to fix it it seems...
I'm running Win7 64
Never had a problem before.
Ideas to fix this?

anyone at all... this is very frustrating to have a top of the line computer & have it not burn cds in 2010 because of a software issue...

Burning Cancels -- Error 4280

I have reinstalled and updated my itunes, all of my songs are valid, I have disabled any conflicting startup processes, set my burn speed low, and verified accurate audio settings within itunes yet I am unable to burn an audio CD. At the beginning of each burn process, it cancels and reads error 4280. What do I do?

My iTune will not burn either. I checked the file format of the songs and discovered that they are downloading MPEG4 iTunes that are also locked (protected). I can not play them anywhere but in iTunes. Check if that is your problems too. Why I am getting MPEG4 instead of MP3? Figure that one.

Optical Drive Burn Fails Error 4200

I have a new optical DVD writer (also burns cds, etc.) and if I use Nero software to burn .mp3 files or .acc files no problem. But when I try to burn a cd from within iTunes (mp4) it says burn failed - unknown error 4200.
I have removed and reinstalled iTunes, have updated the firmware on the new drive, have tried burning at a slower rate. I have spoken with both iTunes and the manufacturer with no resolution. It is a Samsung SATA optical drive.
Anyone got ideas?
Thanks

Burning Failed Error 4261

I've been merrily burning a disc here and there and suddenly, today, the burns are failing. I get the error 4261 message. I have read tons of posts, but no one seems to have a definative answer for it. Some have tried slower disc speeds, uninstalling some things and rebooting, but nothing seems to work. Apple? Are you out there? Help please!

Hey stella9235,
Have you tried to create another playlist with diffrent songs? You can also try restarting the computer and burning with another brand or type of CD/DVD's.
I have two articles that troubleshoot burning issues in iTunes. I would start with: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93286 . This article will walk you through all the basic tips.
The second: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976 usually only applies if you installed some other CD/DVD burning software on the computer before the issue began.

The same thing happened to me in September, and I had to delete my entire computer and start over. I just received the same error againt today and I don't want to have to start over again. Were you able to resolve it?

HI,
I take it you have actually checked that these contacts have Messages Enabled on their iPhones ?
I find I can SMS my wife's iPhone when I am not on Wifi at work.
However I don't get her replies back.
I have a Pay as You Go contract and have Data turned Off as the Carrier even charges for Location Services.
I have a feeling that people not being on WiFi and not enabling SMS is part of the issue in these cases.

Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?
sometimes it will say checking media, then it will do nothing!

Look around for more posts about this. There are TONS. I'm guessing you have upgraded to the newest Itunes. Which apparently makes you CD burning fail! Itunes needs to fix this problem but so far they haven't. I think there are little things that you can do to maybe fix it but I'm not sure so look around for other posts about this same kind of thing, anything along the lines of CD's not burning and error 4280. I wasted 5 CD's trying to get past this error thinking it was my CD's fault.

Disk Burning Failed

I've just upgraded to OSX (finally!) but I'm having trouble burning disks in iTunes. I get an error message <disk burning failed error 0x80020022>
I have a G4 Digital Audio, Matshita CD RW CW7586, OSX 10.3 and I'm running iTunes 4.0.1. I'm using TDK CD-R Audio disks.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks, and a Happy New Year!

BTW, CD's burn just fine. I'm using memorex 16X DVD-R disks. I'm just curious as to if this is a hardware or software (Leopard) issue or not. Thanks.

I tried my first Windows CD burn with iTunes; the burn fails at different points during the burn, with error codes 4450 or 4280.

I have the same problem, after years of everything working great. Last time this happened I tried using a different brand of CD and it worked, but I must warn you that now iTunes rejects all three brands I have been trying to use.

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:

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.
