Error (2131) unable to burn CD's

Create a playlist - check, insert blank CD-R - check, tick 'AudioCD' on box - check, tick 'burn disc' - check..
Then I get Unknown error (2131)!
I have undertaken all the checks, updated the latest s/w, etc. but still no joy.
Help!

Verify that your CD drive is TS-L632H TMC0 bfore running the file. Use device manager to check.
Best of luck

Maybe you should post in the iTunes forum or other appropriate forum. This is the iPod touch forum and the iPod can't burn CDs.

Error 2131: can't burn CDs

I recently acquired an iShuffle and started using iTunes 9, which I haven't used before. I'm trying to burn an Audio CD but, after introducing a virgin CD (which the program do recognizes) and as soon as the burning process begin my computer opens the CD tray and shows the message "Burn process failed. Unexpected error (2131)" (actual text in English may be different since I'm using the spanish version).
Is there some sort of patch I can download? I found a thread about this error but centered on Dell models, although a poster commented that some Toshiba models show this error precisely. However, the thread is rather old and already closed. Is there any help available now?

I think I fixed it...I went under My Computer, then right clicked on the cd drive that I used to burn, go to properties, went under the auto play tab, selected the action to perform button for each individual category(dvd, blank cd, music cd) selected the no action icon for each category. Then went to the recording tab and unselected the enable recording selection. Now I can burn every time! If this fixes it for anyone else let me know!

Error 4315 unable to burn CDs

When ever I try to burn a play list to CD, the burn process starts, looks like it's going and then I get an error message saying the burn failed because of an error 4315. I'm reasonably certain that I was able to burn CDs from iTunes in the past and wonder if some update of iTunes broke this feature. I don't have any problem burning CDs from other programs. I've seen postings for this error before, but it does not appear that any one ever found a solution to this. It seemed the only workaround was to transfer the music to an iPod and then use another program to convert it to either MP3 or some other general Windows fomat, but I do not have an iPod and would rather avoid having to buy one just to burn CDs. Does any one have a clue what this error means or have a solution now? Is it really possible now to burn CDs from iTunes, I got a different error when I tried to do this with a second system I had. If I can't burn CDs from iTunes I may have to consider going back to another Music service/software.

Unknown Error 2131 - Can't Burn CDs

A few months ago I had to replace my XP computer with a Vista computer. Ever since then any attempt to burn a CD has errored out. I've tried all the different tips and tricks but still nothing.
Any help please?

Unable to burn DMG files to CDs on external USB2 disc burners?

Hello.
I am having difficulties burning 88.x MB DMG files to CDs (new CD-Rs and an old CD-RW) onto two different external USB2 disc burner drives (both have power AC connected: HP and LG Super brands). The new Mac Mini (no disc slot drive)'s updated 64-bit Mac OS X 10.7.4's Disk Utilities tries to burn and then fail right away or after a few seconds. The error says "Unable to burn 'whatever.dmg' (The disc drive did not respond properly and can't recover or retry." Nothing interesting in dmesg, but Disk Utility's logs had details: http://pastie.org/private/6tnqcnkwycr2yftp8gkzxw ...
I do see my drives' lights on during the burn. I can quick erase the old CD-RW fine. I can burn 538 MB from an 64-bit Windows 8 on my Acer AM3800 PC with the same discs and external burner drives without any problems. Also, I thought it was my USB cable extension, but it wasn't it. I don't use any USB hubs either. DMG files are fine too. I did notice copying from a CD to Mac Mini's local HDD was slow, but no failures.
What could be the problem? Is USB2 too slow or something? Thank you in advance.

Did you look at...
~/Library/Logs/DiscRecording.log
USB2 is slow, but not that slow, but have you tried reducing the burn speed?

E: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H, Rev TMC0
The 2131 is usually associated with older versions of the firmware for the TS-L632H, josh.
The TMC0 is a firmware revision I haven't seen before ... presumably it's an Advent-supplied version. Check in with Advent (or Dixon's?) technical support to see if they have a later version available. If you update to the higher firmware version, does that get you past the 2131?

HT1349 unable to burn puchased music to disc saying error 2131

please can you help i have purchased an album from itunes but can not burn it to a disc error 2131 pops up

Hi "shawn1982",
You can't burn AAC tracks to an MP3 CD - you need to change your burn settings to Data CD/DVD in order to do this.
Hope this helps,

There's newer firmware available from Samsung for that drive. (At least Rev SB01.)
This is a custom/home-built PC? If so, head directly to Samsung's support pages and download the newer firmware. Can you burn without the 2131 with the newer firmware in place?

Unable to burn a playlist to CD: Error 4310!

I have Windows 8.1 running on a new Dell Inspiron 14R. After purchasing the computer, I downloaded and installed iTunes version 11.3.1.2. I was able to import my music and playlists into iTunes successfully. However, I am unable to burn playlists to CDs through iTunes. I repeatedly get the "unknown error 4310" as soon after I press "Burn Playlist to CD." iTunes recognizes that the CD is blank when I insert it, but then cancels the burn immediately after it starts.
I have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions above, especially including:
Verifying that the CD burner works -- I successfully burned an Audio CD using Windows Media Player. So, the burner works just fine!
Changing the burn speed to a lower speed
Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
Updating the drivers on my computer
This is very frustrating! Please help!

The optical drive has probably failed. It's a fairly common thing with these slim SuperDrives. Does it read any discs you put into it? You can try resetting the SMC and pram but I'll be surprised if it helps.
To reset the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Unknown error 2131 when trying to burn a disc

Thanks

hi Ilkka!
no particularly focussed advice I'm afraid. but there's still a few other things apart from the CD-drive firmware mentioned here that are worth checking up on:

Unable to burn disc, unknown error (-3)

Client has a Lenovo netbook with an External DVD/CD Burner. With current iTunes Win7 x64 release as of writing.
Whenever she burns a disc it preps the image and when it gets to burning, it pops the disc out and Messages me...
Unable to burn disc, unknown error (-3)
I've checked around and never seen this error code pop up at all on any suppport forums, any ideas I'm willing to try out.

So I got this error for a new playlist that I was attempting to burn. I noticed that it would fail when it reached a specific song in the preparing disc process. Nothing special about this song from what I can tell. I purchased it through iTunes along with the entire album. Once I removed that song from the playlist, it burns with no hangups.
Going to delete that song from the library and reload it from the cloud. Will report back if that helped.

I an unable to burn CD. Keep getting error 4450 message. have updated itunes tried different CD tried restart nothing seemed

I can not belive this is a problem with my laptop when so many other people have had the same problem. Has anybody been able to figure this out? Kim Z.
