CD wont burn.

I am having problems burning CDs. After this new update now i get and error message saying "the attempt to burn disc failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or re-try". I have had my mac for almost 4 years and have never had problems burning CDs until the new iTunes and new Mac update. Please help!

Have you seen this?:

Hi and welcome to the discussions!
Google is your friend...
I found this on a Roxio forum, but it offers the best advice I have seen anywhere about this error.
Basically, it is most likely the media or the speed you are trying to burn at. It could be a few other things, but those are the most likely culprits.

Dvd wont burn movie all the way

The dvd is 4.7 GB and the movie is 4.1 the dvd wont burn the whole movie it stops a little before the movie is over. HOw do we burn a long movie onto dvd?

What is the total playing time of your movie? iDVD 5 has a 120 minute limit, including menus, in the Best Quality setting or a 60 minute limit in the Best Performance setting. The size of the files is not the determining factor, just the playing time.

HT1645 I have changed the encoder preference to all the different settings but it still wont burn my cd! What should I try next?!

What should I try next? I have a movie in iDVD all set up to go and it keeps telling me that there is an encoding error, so I have changed it to all three settings but it still wont burn and shows me the same error.

Hi
• Delete iDVD pref. file
iDVDpref. file resides.----> Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iDVD.plist
com.apple.iDVDApp.plist (may be ? - not sure this exist)
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
But there are better ways to do this - but as I'm only in Mac OS X.6.? - I have no hand on know how - but the above way works if carefully done.

My imac keeps ejecting my discs, wont burn anything either

my imac keeps ejecting my discs, wont burn anything either

Are these CDs? DVDs? or both?
Have you tried using a different brand of disks? Some work better than others.
Does it eject all disks or only some? Only blank disks or some that have already been made? Commercial disks or burned?

Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Itunes wont burn my CD disc error 4280?

I have a toshiba satellite computer running windows 7 and itunes 11. It wont let me burn my playlist to a disk. Im using memorex CD-R blank cd. I have tried every disc write speed and nothing worked and ran diagnostics everything checks out. Can someone help me?

I tried the same thing on an HP Touchsmart, using Windows 7. I highlight songs in my iTunes music library and create a new playlist. I right-click on the playlist and start the burning process. I am prompted to put a blank disc in the drive, which I do. Then I have two more prompts, which ask me about the format of the content I wish to create. Once that's done, the burning starts.
It seems that for every playlist I burn, I ruin one disc. It seems that either at the beginning or at the end of the burning process that an error occurs and burning is cancelled. This is very frustrating.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Purchased songs wont burn to CD

I purchased songs on iTunes and try to burn to CD. It says the songs wont fit on a CD. They are in an ACC file mode and I can't burn in MP3 mode. Can I change the format of the songs?

I tried burning songs purchased from iTunes onto a MP3 CD. I received the message that 27 of the songs (all purchased from iTunes) couldn't burn because they are in AAC format. A friend said to click Advanced and click the option to convert to MP3. Under Advanced, all I found was an option to convert to AAC. The songs are already in ACC! How do I convert these songs to MP3 so I can burn an MP3 CD? Any help is much appreciated!

Blank CD-R Wont Burn And Read!!!

I purchase some Blank Maxell CD to burn my music to, but the CD's wont read and it just pop out of the driver. Sometimes a cd might read and it only burn halfway or dont burn at all. So my question is how do i resolve these issues?, And What CD-R brands are good to use with the Macbook?

Go here for information about Windows 7 upgrades. Download and run the Software Installer. Hopefully it will find any missing drivers.
