Computer crashes when trying to burn a cd in itunes

I have read many threads on this error 4280 but mine seems a little different. Every time I try and burn a cd from songs in my library something bad happens. I have had my computer crash several times. One time it crashed and then went into a scandisc mode. Once it crashed and then when my computer restarted everything that was supposed to load at startup had errors and wouldn't load. Yesterday, I tried to burn a cd again. This time I used only music that I had ripped from my own cd's through itunes. I have authorized my computer yet it said it wouldn't burn any of them because none of the songs were authorized? They are my songs, from my cd's! A few weeks ago I tried the same thing and it wouldn't burn the tracks because it said 2 of the tracks weren't authorized. Again, they were all ripped from my cd collection, not downloaded. I decided to restart my computer and try again. Same problem but this time it selected 2 different songs as the ones that weren't authorized. I am having serious issues with itunes crashing my computer. Anyone else have problems like this? I am using itunes 7.6?
Thanks,

ITunes Crashes when trying to burn a disc

iTunes Crashes when trying to burn a disc I've had this problem now for a few weeks. Whenever I try to burn a CD or DVD iTunes crashes and I have to try up to 3 times until it crashes and then resets itself like if I had just installed it. At first I thought that it was because I needed to upgrade to the new iTunes version 10 but the upgrades are for Mac OS 10.5 and up. My internal disc drive no longer works so I've been using a borrowed Sony DVD RW DRU-840A USB burner with firmware SS01. I have iLike installed as well and that also has problems it has stopped loading.

I'm having the same problem.

We are having the same issue.

Whenever someone tries to embed a PDF file into a Word document, the following error occurs:
The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed.
I have looked at alot of articles online that say to 'Disable' Protected Mode. This does not resolve the issue. This option is not set by default in our environment.
Do we have any confirmation or information from Adobe on this issue?

Why does my itunes crash when trying to burn a CD

Okay, some background info. For almost two years, anytime I'd put a CD into the computer, it would be these loud noises that sounded as if they were damaging the disc and/or it wouldn't eject the disc. After spending literally a day trying to eject this one CD, which I finally did after a day of continuously pressing "eject," the CD ejected and I decided to take my computer to the Apple store to get it fixed.
To make a long story short(er), I paid to have the optical drive replaced, and when I took my computer home, the new problem became that instead of reading the CDs (or DVDs), it would just automatically eject the discs. I took my computer back and they replaced the optical drive again with a new one. After I took the computer home, it quietly read two CDs and then starting with the third one, it started automatically ejecting the CDs again as before. I got so frustrated that I put my finger over the slot to prevent the disc from coming out. After attempting to eject the disc for a couple of minutes, the computer stopped trying to eject the CD and read it. And it ejected the disc with no problem. Since then, the computer has had no trouble reading and ejecting the numerous (15+) CDs. It does, however, now make a lot of noise when reading the CD.
Today I tried burning a playlist for the first time. When the blank disc was put in, it was loud but accepted it with no problem. But when I tried to burn the playlist from itunes, itunes would automatically crash. I've tried other blank discs and it does the same thing. It even crashes when I press burn disc even without a disc. Just to make sure the blank CD could burn something, I double-clicked the CD icon and burned some mp3s manually and that worked. So the optical drive is able to burn information on blank CDs. However, when I try through itunes, itunes crashes.
So do you guys think this is an itunes issue, or is it related to the replaced optical drive? I'm leaning towards the latter.

Somebody PLEASE help me.... I keep getting the "itunes has stopped working" error when I import cd's and that it's checking windows for help. That's it! It doesn't tell me how to fix it. Apple stores or the phone support has been ZERO help. I just need to reinstall all these cds that were lost when I plugged in my new ipod to my new computer!!!

Error message 4000 when trying to burn a cd in itunes

I am having problems burning a cd in itunes. I am getting the error message the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4000). Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem. Please note that I have looked up other ways to solve problem and have tried them and none of them seem to work. Such as in program files I clicked on repair and not uninstall to see if there was any possible corrupt itunes files to be fixed. I changed the burn speed and that did not work. The only thing I did not do was a total uninstall of itunes. I need to know should I do that and if so what site will I need to go on to re-install itunes and will I have to pay for it? My computer which is Windows XP already had itunes on it when I bought it so I do not want to pay for itunes. So can someone please give me some guidance regarding this matter. And please note that I was able to burn cd's in itunes before and then it just stopped working. And I have tested my computer with the windows media player and I was able to burn music from my music library so I know my problem is with itunes.
Thanks!

I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

When trying to burn a cd in itunes, why does it says cd burner software not found?

When trying to burn a cd, itunes says cd burner software not found.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.)

Crashes when trying to burn a DVD

I have been trying to burn a DVD using both Toast and Wonderhare and it seems no matter what program I use it will crash the program when I try to burn it. I have tried applejack to see if there are any problems that need to be fixed but none were found. What should I do?
Thanks!

Could you specify the specifications of the computer's internal hard disk
drive, in both full capacity and the amount remaining as unused? These
numbers, actually three (capacity, amount used, remaining free) may be
the cause of the problem; if the drive is getting too full and should these
burn folder files be a tripping point, the system could be compromised.
{That is just one possibility; since systematic routine maintenance is a
process I've done, and pre-suppose others do it, too. The basis of a
healthy computer is the awareness of certain factors and preventative
maintenance to keep the system as healthy as it can be. Then if some
thing acts up, there is less to wonder about at that point in time.}
The simple stuff, such as 'repair disk permissions' in Disk Utility, after
booting up in SafeBoot mode (hold Shift key until login window appears)
can help; then after Disk Utility is done, quit it & restart the computer.
Logs and reports are often stored and readable in Console utility, also
in System Profiler> Software> Logs (see Blue apple, about this Mac,
button More Info> System Profiler.) Console has many different ones.
You could see what those HDD numbers are, and also look into Activity
Monitor, when the computer is running and before a crash, to see
where the computer's resources are being used and how.
If the computer does not have sufficient chip RAM installed, and is also
running with a nearly too-full hard disk drive, the computer could crash
when several apps and large-size files are being manipulated.
The computer could be started from the Tiger install disc and disk utility
run from the drop-down menu bar in the Installer window; start from the
Tiger DVD by holding C key down, the second screen (past languages)
is the Installer and submenu choices. Disk Utility can try to repair disk
and also repair disk permissions; and verify disk SMART status. When
done, choose Macintosh HD from the Startup chooser menu in Installer
menu, and restart. This may help; but there obviously is something amiss.
Good luck & happy computing!

IPhoto keeps crashing when trying to burn disc

I am trying to burn a cd of pictures (500 mb) and everytime I try to burn iPhoto crashes. It select the pictures, it recognizes the disc, the size is fine and then it crashes. I have a powerbook G4 with 1 gig RAM. I am using iPhoto 5

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Application Support/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

IPhoto crashes when trying to burn CD

For reasons that I cannot explain, everytime I am trying to burn a CD with approximately 200 pictures (1/2 a CD of 700MB), iPhoto crashes immediately after the "preparing to burn" phase. It is incredibly frustrating. I have plenty of RAM available. Anyone else having this difficulty? I have the latest version of 5.*. I haven't got iphoto 6.
G5 Dual 2.0 gB Mac OS X (10.4.4)

no solution for you, but i am getting the same issue.
i was trying to backup my photos to install iphoto 6. after six successful burns (approx 4.2GBs) it started giving me the same problem. trying to burn a cd with approx 670MBs and it crashes right after the preparing disk dialog... any ideas?

My computer crashes when trying to sync ipod touch...HELP!

My whole computer crashes without warning - just powers off, usually when I am transferring a CD into iTunes. But, it will do it at other times as well. If there is an error message - I do not see it as it happens too fast. I just downloaded iTunes last week and started having this problem right away. Any solutions yet? I have the 80gb iPods, although this happens whether or not they are connected.

*Replying to D&Z*
+But, it will do it at other times as well. If there is an error message - I do not see it as it happens too fast.+
We'd better check for a hidden blue screen, then.
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
Now try to provoke another crash.
With those settings in place, does a blue screen appear before the PC reboots?
If so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x\[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file (for example, “ati3duag.dll”), let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)

Computer freezes when trying to burn cds with itunes

I don't know if this would help other people with issues related to burning cds with itunes but here it goes:
My computer running Windows XP SP2 and itunes 7.6.1.9 suddently stopped burning cds via itunes about a couple of versions ago. Burning would start correctly, however the operation never completed successfully, in fact, the computer would completly freeze before getting too far. The computer had to be hard booted, meaning I had to hold the power button to kill it. The only solution that I've come up with that effectively corrects this problem is as follows:
Close itunes
Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
Look for IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service and open it (double-click it):
If not started, start it by clicking the Start button
Select Startup Type as Automatic
Go to Recovery tab and set first, second and subsequent failures to Restart the Service
Click Apply and then Ok to close window
Look for iPod Service and open it:
If not started, start it by clicking the Start button
Select Startup Type as Automatic
Click Apply and then Ok to close window
Restart itunes, try burning a cd from a playlist in itunes. There is no guarantee that this will solve your issue, but it is worth a shot, it has worked for me so far.

Computer crashing when trying to render

My computer is crashing when I try to render. I have plenty of memory. I may have conflicts with other loaded programs but do not know what ones. Any ideas?

Steve,
Thank you for that clarification.
In that case, I would look at the second link down in that article, "Finding Clues," as it talks about using Event Viewer, to start troubleshooting the System, or Applications. There might be some useful clues on what is happening, when the program quits. For ALL warning, or error messages that have links, please follow those.
Also, do you get any Windows error messages, and if so, what are they?
I would also gather up your computer's information, the info on your Source Files, plus the details of your Project's settings, and post those, to give folk here material to help you troubleshoot the program.
I am glad that you are not getting a BSOD, but that article does have some other, useful troubleshooting tips in the links.
Good luck, and there will likely be a few more questions.
