"disc burner is in use" error message?

I am trying to burn CDs from an iTunes playlist and get the message "The disc burner is in use by an application other than iTunes" when it is not in use. This happens about half the time

Are you playing a song from the playlist you are trying to burn.  This happened to me and playing a different song fixed it for me.  For now ;-)

  • I have Windows 7. When I try to print an album cover on a CD I burned, I get an error message that  there is a problem and it shuts down iTunes and says will notify me once the problem is fixed

    I have iTunes version 11.3.1.2 and a Windows 7 Professional aith Service Pack 1.  When I try to print a CD cover from a disc I burned, I get an error message that stops the printing task and shuts down iTunes and tells me once the problem is found they will notify me.  When this happened before I got sent a message from Apple that I needed to install a new verion of iTunes.  I believe I now have the latest iTunes version.  So why can't I print?
    Is this the problem below?  Does the graphics driver cause the problem?

    A driver update, if available, might prevent this problem from recurring.

    Try a different media. I have good luck using Maxell discs.

    My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
    Can anyone help?

    Yep.  Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI.  I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
    It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column.  Now it's just blank.  Link to screenshot below:
    http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/5006/screenshotcaf.jpg
    Note the install date.  That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it.  Now I can't even do that.  I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller.  It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
    By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it?  It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

  • I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and am trying to set up my recovery discs. I get an error message

    I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and am trying to set up my recovery discs.  I get an error message that states "inserted media not supported".  I am using CD-R Music discs.  Is the problem "Music" ?  Will it not recognize a blank music disc?

    Hi,
    Yes, it is the discs that are the problem - you will need to use good quality DVD+R or DVD-R discs.  See the section under the sub-heading 'Create a set of operating system Recovery Discs' on the link below.

  • Unsupported black in use error message for laserjet p2055

    Receiving "unsupported black in use" error message for laserjet p2055.  I replace the cartridge with a new one and the same message appears.  Any suggestions how to resolve this issue?

    Hi,
    Does it become active if you go to System Preferences > Accounts and Click on the current Account Pic and attempt to take a Pic ? (you do not have to Set it as the Pic)
    Go to System Preferences > Accounts
    Click on Your Account (in the list on the Left)
    The Right hand side will now show some options.
    Clicking the current Pic will give you access to Edit Pic
    One of the Options then is to take a Snapshot.
    Take a Snap Shot but you do not have to "Set" the Pic.
    This process will invoke VDCAssistant.
    Explain further about the PRAM Reset please.
    You should shut down the computer (Rather than trying to catch the Restart)
    You should then Start the Computer holding down the AppleALT+PR keys and keep holding them until you hear three Start Up0 Bongs (Chimes)
    This deletes some settings such as System Preferences Settings for the Volume (Sound) and Date and Time that may need resetting afterwards. (Others may also be effected such as Screen Saver)
    On Spotlight.
    This does not look or report on certain Folders.
    At the Hard Drive Level this is Library and Syatem
    In your Home Folder (Little House icon) it will not look in your Library.

  • Error message: Disc Burner is in use by application other than itunes

    My burner was working fine a few days ago, yesterday I tried to burn a playlist from itunes and I got the error message in the subject of this post.
    I checked to see if my burner was working...according to the system it is working properly. Also, I am able to burn and backup files and photos. For some reason I cannot burn music as a data file or music CD.
    Any suggestions? I have a hp PC...how can I tell if my burner is indeed being tied up by another program or if my computer has a virus?

    been having the same problem for months.
    i can only burn cd's in itunes for a few minutes after rebooting my g5. nothing is physically wrong with my burner and there is NO other application using it as the Itunes error states...
    anyone have any insight on this?

  • HP recovery disc failure with the following error message

    Notebook:
    HP Pavilion g7-1070us
    OS: Window 7 home premium 64-bit
    Problem:
    Notebook failed to start. Bought recovery disc set from HP and tried to do the factory restore (Factory image recovery)
    The first two steps went smoothly:
    1) "Reformatting the window partition of the ard drive;"
    2) "Copying files required to restore the hard-drive;"
    But at step 3: "Restoring files to the hard-drive", when the progress bar showed 46%, it got stuck and the following  error message popped up:
    Copy File Fails
    From: E:/PRELOAD/BASE3.SWM
    To: C:/RM/Image/BASE3.SWM
    I tried a few times and every time it got stuck at exactly the same point.
    PLease help!!!! Thanks a lot!!

    Hi,
    Assuming this is just a problem with the recovery media, here's an alternative option you could try.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Toshiba Disc Creator Has Stopped Working Error Message

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P305D-S8834, and tried to burn a CD using Toshiba Disc Creator v.2.0.1.3. But I kept getting an error message saying "Toshiba Disc Creator has stopped working." and couldn't successfully burn a CD. Though I contacted Toshiba tech support, I couldn't get useful info. Any tips would be appreciated.

    Try removing and reinstalling Disc Creator. Install the latest version from the Toshiba site.
    Also update the BIOS, and ensure you are using quality DVD discs such as TDK. No-name discs wear out easy and use cheap dye's.
    Also try deleting the UpperFilters and LowerFilters:

  • When i try to burn  from library disc burner and software not found message appears

    when i try to burn a disc from library the message disc burner and software not found appears.

    Hello,
    I am having the same problem - "Disc burner or software not found" and I can't create a new CD from iTunes "burn playlist to disc".  I see many others asking the same question and I don't see answers.  I have spent all day uninstalling and reloading iTunes, testing, etc.  Even iTunes support said they couldn't help me. 
    I have Windows 7, and I can't really use iTunes without having the CD burner working.  I have wasted hours and will gladly pay for help, but iTunes support said "no".

  • Trying to burn CR-R, get error message -34

    Hi,
    Whenever I insert a blank CD-R in order to burn files, I get the following error message:
    "Burning the disk cannot proceed becasue the startup disk does not have enough empty space. To burn the disc the Finder needs space on the startup disk equal to the size of the disc. (Error code -34)"
    I've tried searching the online help, but the only thing that comes up is the option to set the startup disk. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this and avoid similar problems in the future?
    Thanks,
    FMB

    Fireymonkeyboy, Welcome to the discussion area!
    That means that your hard drive does not have enough free space. To burn a CD you need at least 1.2 GB of free space on the hard drive.
    To make room on your hard drive you will need to delete some files. If the files are important you probably will want to back them up to an external hard drive or another location before deleting them from the hard drive.

  • CD burning broken, no useful errors [SOLVED]

    Hey guys. This is pretty frustrating.
    I'm trying to burn a simple audio CD. I've tried Recorder, Graveman, Brasero, and K3B. I've tried three different discs (2 different brands).
    Up until this CD, I've successfully made many audio CD's using Graveman, although neither Recorder nor PyBurn worked in the past.
    - Recorder doesn't show a single error. It just sits and shows a blank window until I close it. When run from the terminal, I receive a file-not-found error.
    - K3B, which apparently has to be run from /opt/kde/bin/k3b on my Openbox setup, says it can't find the growisofs executable, even though it exists in /usr/bin/.
    - Graveman says Operation Failed and nothing else, even when run from the terminal.
    - Brasero is the only one to give a marginally useful error, "No space left on resource," which is not true, since all of the discs I've used are blank.
    dvd+rw-tools is up-to-date, and I just ran a full system upgrade. My user is a part of the optical group. As I said, I've been able to make many CD's in the past. Just now, I booted into Vista, and was able to burn a CD there, so my drive isn't broken. To my knowledge, nothing very significant has happened to my system in the recent past that would affect this. Does anyone have an ideas?
    EDIT: Here's something interesting. Writing data works fine with Graveman. I burned an essay on to disc, mounted it with mount /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/disc, and accessed the file with no problems. It's just audio that's broken...
    EDIT2: It appears that xfburn works! Only xfburn, but it's better than nothing. I think that maybe it has to do with xfburn using gstreamer, but I'm not sure.
    SOLVED: I realized that when it said No space left on device, it wasn't talking about the disc - it was talking about my root partition! Maybe as the program transcoded the MP3's in WAV's, it saved them temporarily to /tmp or /var/tmp or something, but there was only a few megabytes available. I've enlarged my root partition and everything is shipshape now.

  • Windows Server 2012 Used: Error Message from Windows 7 PC: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator.

    We are using Windows Server 2012 Standard installed in VMWare / Virtual machine and to access this we use vSphere client and Remote Desktop Connection / service was already enabled and was working fine with User PCs / laptops remote desktop into the server
    2012, until it gave an error message of: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license.  Please contact the server administrator. whilst logging into the server. 
    We DON'T use Active Directory nor and we don't use domain and not looking to use it any-time soon. 
    I checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and it says the grace period has expired and the licensing mode for the remote desktop session host server is not configured.  I have checked the Remote Desktop Gateway has been stopped and I tried to start it and it
    resumed to stop, here I assume its where the licensing part comes in to re-enabled this. 
    I have been trying to follow these articles online: http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/27/deploying-remote-desktop-gateway-rds-2012/ and http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install  the overview part that I cannot get into,
    because I think we have to be is AD DS for this which we don't.  Is there a way around this for non domain / just standalone set-up?  Is it a must / requirement we need to be in a domain in order for Remote Desktop Connection to work? 
    Also, we have a Windows Server 2012 RDS CALs - 10 (software and licence key), will the licence key work for the Windows 2012 Server Standard?  We do not want to install the other Server mentioned which comes with CAL / licence key as its time consuming
    to reinstall other programs.  I have installed  Server role service of Remote Desktop Licencing and automatically installed other associated services needed.  in the RD Licencing Manager, the Server had a red cross and I "Activate Server"
    where I followed: http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install in Install Licences section and I have used the licence key of CAL - 10 mentioned above; it stated I have successfully completed the install licences wizard and displayed:
    10 Windows Server 2012 - RDS Per User CAL installed, and in the RD Licensing Manager the server turned into a green tick and added the licence.  
    I then tested the Remote desktop connection from my PC and the same error message was there and checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and the same error messages was there.  I haven't restart the services of Remote Gateway / the server itself; do I really
    need to reboot server?  
    Any advice / guidance would be very much appreciated and this is a urgent matter.  
    Thank you for your time.
