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 The AOL account had "expired", meaning the credit card attached to it was no longer valid.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
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.

  • Cancelling disc burn error 4310

    Hi all
    I am hoping someone can help.
    I have just bought a new Asus laptop with Windows 8 and have installed the latest version of iTunes.
    All my music is in the library now and I have created some play lists and went to burn a disc, I selected maximum possible speed and in about 1 second it says "disc initiallising" and then straight away says "cancelling disc burn" and then says "attempt to burn disc failed, an unexpected error (4310) has occured".
    I have googled this but cant find a solution that works. I have tried changing the compatibility to Windows 7, also tried Widows XP (service pack 3) and also unchecked this to not use an older version whatsoever. I have tried registering the new computer to my account. I have also tried a lower speed at 1x, when doing this it does a longer initialising and goes through all the songs but as soon as it goes to burn it cancels itself.
    I have tried several different blank discs, nothing. It worked perfectly like this on the old computer (windows 7).
    I have even ran diagnostics on the DVD drive through iTunes and results are below -
    Can anyone help? I just want to put my music on to disc.
    Thanks

    Hi nina:
    That is usually cause by using a DVD media that you Macs don't like.
    Try using a DVD-R 4x from Verbatim. Seems to have the best track record here.

  • CD Burn Error 4450 - solved!

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Disc burn error 0xFFFFFFCA?????? PLEASE HELP!!

    I have been trying to use Backup 3 (yes it is the Leopard approved version) since upgrading to Leopard (I did not do a "clean" install) to burn to DVD.
    The following occurs everytime.
    My DVD-RW is ejected and this message appears:
    Burn Failed
    There was a problem burning this disc. 0xFFFFFFCA
    My options:
    Cancel Entire Backup Retry
    It doesn't work on retry.
    It WILL erase the data on disc after inserted for the burn and the disc shows up on my desktop and definitely spins in the drive and is recognized as being in the drive and the disc to burn to. It fails after only copying files.... (which it doesn't appear to completely finish).
    Could the problem be the fact that Backup 3 application names the burn drive as SuperDrive when before Leopard and the new Backup 3 it always listed what my iMac was installed with and what I actually have:
    PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06:
    Firmware Revision: Q609
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
    Cache: 2000 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
    Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
    I turn to all of you after spending 1 hour and 45 mins on hold for Apple help, first person had no clue and put me back on hold for someone else who supposedly would have a clue, MAYBE...
    PLEASE HELP!!
    thank you humbly from someone who admits outright I am SUCH A NEWBIE.

    Same thing to me using LiquidCD CD/DVD burning application on Leopard 10.5.1
    It worked fine for 10 DVD backups and when trying another backup on DVD, I have this error 0xFFFFFFCA
    Anybody to help ?

  • I am trying to burn photos onto a dvd and cd but it keeps saying disc burn error. what do i do? i have already went through 5 cps and 1 dvd.

    I have been trying to get these pictures off of my computer so i want to burn them but everytime i try it says disc error. i have tried several different cds. it will say finishing burn but then eject it and says burn disc error.... please help

    How are you burning the photos to the disc?  Via the Share ➙ Burn menu or buy exporting the photos to a folder on the Desktop and then burning that folder to disc?
    The former method creates a mini library on the disk that can only be read and use by a Mac with iPhoto.  The latter method saves just the photos to disc which can be used by any computer.
    What system and iPhoto version are you using?  How much free space do you have on your MacBook Pro? 
    If you're using the Share ➙ Burn method can you burn a disc from the Finder?
    Describe in detail what you're trying so we have a better understanding and can better offer a solution.

  • 7.0.2 Disc burn errors!!!!!!!

    Had previous version of itunes burnt cds fine.
    downloaded 7.0.2 now has unknown errors 4201 and 4251. Tried it 10 times both audio and mp3 cds. Help! I just spent how much on downloads and now I can't use them!

    Hey rtfg,
    Have you tried a new user to test issue?
    It would be helpful to know if it occurs in just your user.
    You may want to copy the songs you are trying to burn to your Public folder. So you can add them to the new users iTunes.
    See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106167, for background information on the user environment
    For adding a new user, if you are unfamiliar with steps:
    Use the Finder Help menu to open Mac Help, search for "Adding a new user account to your computer", for instructions on creating a new user.

  • 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!
