Error 4251-What to do?
Hi. I was wondering if anyone's been able to fix this problem? It seems many people have been coming up with the same error. I'm trying to burn TV episodes onto my DVD-R discs, and I get this error. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Error 4251 while burning to a disc
I keep getting an "Attempt to burn disc failed error 4251" message while trying to burn playlists to a disc. I've upgraded to the newest version of iTunes and tried using the lowest speed setting and the highest maximum to no avail. Any suggestions?
Not sure I can help very much, but I have had similar problems with large projects. I think (but I'm not sure) that iDVD does not do a very good job of estimating the size of the project until it starts to render/encode. So your project might be too big even for a dual-layer DVD. Can you reduce the size/length of the movie at all. And/or reduce the size of any iDVD slideshows you might also have in the iDVD project.
One small trick (I think this is true, but again I'm not 100% sure) is to reduce the size of the audio. If you use songs from iTunes, what format are they? I keep my songs in Apple Lossless which makes the files large. When I compress them to say AAC 128 or 160 in iTunes, and then use those smaller file versions in my iMovie project or slideshows, it reduces the size of the iDVD project. -
Hi
I have get errors 4251 or 4221 when trying to burn audio files from itunes. I have a Toshiba Satellite which uses MS Vista.
Does anyone happen to know how to fix this by any chance???
Thanks heaps.I don't know about 4221, but this is what I did for 4251 (though, I still don't know what the error actually means):
Go to "Edit" > "Preferences" > click the "Advanced" tab > and then the "Burning" tab.
Then lower the preferred speed (say, from 24x to 16x) and change the gap between songs from two seconds to none.
Since doing this I've only had the error come up a couple of times in which case I just lowered the speed once again.
Hope this helps -
I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, but it didn't make a difference. I can no longer burn a disc without it popping the corrupted disc out and saying "Unknown Error - 4251." I googled it and one theory was that it had to do with antivirus software and to turn it off when you are burning a disc. It worked one time, but now it's right back to giving me the error. I don't know what to do; I'm at my wit's end. How can I fix this error? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Error 4251 when trying to burn
I've had iTunes for years but just bought and downloaded an album, when I tried to burn I got error 4251. I tried burning three times but got the same error, any idea how to fix this?
"I've had iTunes for years but just bought and downloaded an album, when I tried to burn I got error 4251. I tried burning three times but got the same error, any idea how to fix this?"
I've seen multiple threads on this same error message. Since I'm very new to iTunes, I thought it was me or my PC, so I guess I'm relieved in a way to learn that this problem is being experienced even by long-time iTunes users.
To me, this says that something in a recent release of iTunes is the culprit. What I don't know is if Apple will consider a problem that Windows users are having to be serious enough to investigate and fix.
I actually thought I had a work-around. I went to edit/preferences/advanced/burning and changed to speed from the highest speed to 16X, and I managed to get 10 songs on a disc before it went 4251. I took the speed down to 6X, and got 12 songs. I went to 2X, and it went 4251 after 5 songs.
So much for that work-around. -
I'm attempting to burn an audio cd, but as soon as it appears to burn the first song, the cd is spit out and I get the error 4251. This is so frustrating because I have no idea what the error message means. Any ideas?
Windows XP Burning an audio CDAfter several failed attempts at solving my burning issues with Apple support (who had no idea what to do) I have found something out. The new "Protected AAC" formatted songs will cause a "failed burn" error message. I own 2 different computers and have tried 2 different types of CD-Rs. I have found that Windows Media Player will burn just fine, and that in iTunes I can burn all my old music (under "kind" look for "AAC audio file") just fine also. So I seem to have norrowed it down to Apple's new protected formats called "Protected AAC audio file"
So far this is all I've got. Just don't buy anything else from iTunes for now.
Anyone else have any ideas -
I got an error message while burning a CD in iTunes - "the attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean and how do I fix it?
The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

Photoshop CC: When I'm trying to draw a rectangle I can't fill it or create a stoke because there is a message telling me; "Could not complete your request because of a program error. What can I do?
It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon. -

On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean? And how do I work around it?
I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job. -
i got this message while buring a CD on itunes. "The Attemp to burn the disc failed because of medium write error"..what do you make of this?
i think the CD was bad. i took the machine to the Apple store and they said the Optical Drive was OK. so it must be the CD's i'm using... i use Verbatim type. let me know.'Mediium write error' means it failed to write to the disc - some makes work better than others and you may just have hit a single bad disc or maybe your burner doesn't like the make of disc. I've always had good results with TDK.
