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.

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 and error 4280

Ok this is bad, I am new to ITunes I purchased a bunch of songs and transfered them to my Ipod fine, then I burned them to 3 cd's no problem. Saturday I wen to record an audio cd with 100 dollars worth of new songs and I got error 4450 out of my I/O Magic dvd drive. I put another cd in my old TEAC cd drive and I got an 4280 error. I was using TDK CD-R MEDIA.So I went and got Verbatim media because it supposes to be excellent, same crap!!Same identical errors, I shuffled the songs and I created a new playlist out of the purchased playlist,I inserted the cd before opening Itunes, same errors and a dozen coasters!! I have the latest version of Itunes and I have no problem burning cd's with Nero out of my personal cd's. Now Itunes is giving me an " Access to the specified device,path is denied" when I do the diagnostics. IS THERE A WAY TO CONVERT THE M4P OF ITUNES INTO MP3 SO ICAN USE ANOTHER SOFTWARE TO BURN THE SONGS I PURCHASED? IS THERE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM?? Below is the diagnostic of one of my drives.The main one, the new one.

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

Burning error 4280 and 4450

Hello!
So I've read all the helpful answers about this, and have tried every fix, but nothing works. Every discussion thread is super old and I wonder if there is anything more up-to-date?
This registry fix... in this thread...last post.... MIGHT be my problem, (and I suspect that it is) but the directions are confusing and don't match my computer's registery or driver details.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/2904875#2904875
If someone can interpret these a little clearer or to match my particular computer it might be helpful. I can provide more info on this if needed.
Some information:
I have a Toshiba laptop with a MATSHITA DVD RAM UJ 850S driver.
(I DO NOT have a Sony driver)
I have the 4280 error. I ALSO have the 4450 error.
It happens every time I burn no matter what brand of disc Im using or speed Im burning at.
Either it will burn a few songs and then cancel, or it will cancel before it starts to burn.
I can burn DVDs with my DVD copying software.
I CANNOT burn CDs with Windows Media Player or Real Player or anything else.
There are no needed updates to my driver. The computer tells me that everything is up-to-date.
I have had this problem for over a year and a half and have not found a fix yet.
Here is the diagnostic and thank you very much for taking the time to help me!

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!

Burn error 4251 and 4221

Hi
I have get errors 4251 or 4221 when trying to burn audio files from itunes. I have a Toshiba Satellite which uses MS Vista.
Does anyone happen to know how to fix this by any chance???
Thanks heaps.

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

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.

Possible Fix Failed Burn Error Codes 4000-4850

Under preferences change the burn speed, you might have to try each speed to get one compatible with your computer. I own a Sony Vaio and a Gateway notebook and it seems 20x works for both.

This kinda worked on my computer. I've got a Gateway Tablet PC and I had to knock the speed down to 12x before I could get the burner to work. 16x might work too, but I didn't try it. I'd already wasted tons of disks....

Burning error 4000....again

So once again, I face the issue of burn error 4000. I was able to burn one cd tonight, then it decided that I was to burn no more. I tried running the "repair" function from the "Add/Remove Programs" in the control panal to no avail. Has anyone else had the problem of burn error 4000, and if so and you were able to fix it, how did you fix it? I would like to burn the songs I purchased recently since my mini's battery is being replaced and I don't have a way to back up those songs at the moment, unless I dump them onto my external hard drive....help!

hiya!
You mean the one that Eme posted?
um ... i'm not sure. my monitoring of "Importing & Burning" is still kind of patchy ...
here's the most complete version of it (for burning). we start with the Apple advanced burning reference:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93286
... supplemented by background documentation and on updating drivers and firmware:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300252
toonz, "Where to find firmware for your CD/DVD drive", 05:55pm Apr 15, 2005 CDT
... and then advice to check for more documentation and to submit CD diagnostics to Apple at their optical drives troubleshooting page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/cddiagnostics/
and especially when it's a 3000-4000-range error, i throw in the MS troubleshooting documents too:

for good measure, here's the "drive reading" reference, too:

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!

CD Burning error 4450 and 4850
