Error 4280 for Matshita UJ-831Da - Burn no longer works w/  iTunes.

23 Dec 07
MY SYSTEM:
Sony laptop
CD/DVD drv = Matshita UJ-831Da
iTunes ver. 7.5.0.20
PROBLEM:
1. Burn quit working when iTunes upgraded to 7.2.
2. I now get Error 4280.
3. The only change was an upgrade to iTunes.
4. No other software, or OS, changed on the system.
5. Burn always worked with old ver. of iTunes.
6. Burn still works with Win Media Player.
7. Burn still works with all other software.
8. iTunes will not upgrade itself now, nor allow "down"grade.
9. Slowing burn speed does not eliminate error 4280.
10. "Run Diagnostics" causes whole system to freeze and crash.
11. Creating new account on system does not eliminate error 4280
12. Creating new account on system does not eliminate freeze / crash.
13. I have credit with iTunes store that cannot be used until fixed.
QUESTION:
This is an Apple iTunes ONLY software problem. What is the fix?
Thanks,

For my Matshita UJ-831Da CD/DVD drive, the driver version showing in device manager is 5.1.2535.0. I just now clicked on "update driver" and the reply was that a newer version could not be found.
But why would doing a "Run Diagnostics" in iTunes now freeze / crash my whole system when it never did before? It only began doing that after it also began failing to burn CDs. Again, the iTunes software is the only software that has ceased to burn CDs.
Several months ago, I finally reached by phone a girl at Apple tech support who first denied there were any known problems. But when I told her that the web was full of thousands of people screaming about this very issue she recanted and admitted that iTunes was having these problems, that they had posted the fix for some of the other CD/DVD drives but not mine. She then said, "but if you pay $35 I'll tell you how to fix it." Absolutely unethical. That's like buying a car then being told that there's now an extra fee for being told how to start it. She may have lied about knowing what the fix is, but either way it's absolutely unethical.
The problem is iTunes. iTunes changed and now won't drive the same current drive it worked with when iTunes accepted my money, in advance, to purchase and burn music at future dates. iTunes should fix the problem.
I'm willing to go through the leg-work, to try all of Apple's instructions here, but Apple also needs to follow through with this.
Thanks again for your help.

    I have not yet seen any official response to the question: "Is the Apple AV Composite cable fully supported with 30pin connector devices upgraded with iOS7 - specifically ? - eg. iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s"
    If it is not currently supported is that then due to a bug / oversight and in that case is it something that will be fixed in the near future?
    Please let us know what feedback you got from asking Apple support.

  • Eject button no longer works after iTunes audio CD burn

    Hi, after upgrading to the latest version of iTunes, the eject button on my drive does not work after burning a CD.
    It still works with other applications, just not iTunes (but it did before the latest upgrade).
    Luckily, I can still eject disc's using the iTunes, or Windows Explorer software - but it's a pain.
    Is anyone else having this problem?

  • DVD burning no longer working.

    Hi there,
    I am not quite sure if it is since the 10.4.9 update or the re-install I did a month ago, but DVD burning with Toast 7 or the Finder no longer work.
    I can burn CD's with my internal NEC DVD RW ND-3520A drive and I can play DVD's just fine too, but when I try to burn a disc I get this error:
    "Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022"
    I am using Phillips DVD-R media that I have used before, the firmware on the DVD drive is at 1.04 there is a new Firmware updater but you need a Win2K machine.
    But the Firmware update has been out for a while and I have been burning happily until now.
    Anyone on the forum have an idea as to what the issue is?
    All the best,
    Anil.

    Hi Dak,
    Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately I have been using Patchburn for a few years now. I had to reinstall my system because of some dodgy software from Vodafone. I upgraded to 10.4.9 from 10.4.8, just like every good OS X user.
    It burns fines with CD's it just seems to be a problem with DVD's, maybe it is a media issue, might try a few other brands and see if that helps. again thanks for your advice.
    Anil.

  • DVD burner no longer working on Touchsmart 600

    I hope this is the correct forum. I have a Touchsmart 600 series and my DVD burner no longer reads DVDs or CDs, either digital, music or video. When I attempt to burn a DVD through Windows Media Player, WMP goes through all the motions of burning it but the CD is still blank. It had been working intermittently up through September and stopped working in November. The DVD burner didn't always work since I got the machine 2 years ago. Sometimes it would stop reading the disk but would work after a reboot. Now it won't even do that.
    I have updated the drivers for it and it didn't seem to have an effect.

  • License for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro no longer works -- Why?

    I am getting a very strange error message that indicates my license is no longer valid. I have captured a screen image of the error and would like for someone to look at it. Hopefully, this problem can be solved quickly, as I am in the middle of some Acrobat work. PLEASE HELP!
    Note so far I have tried the following (in this order):
    1. Did a repair from the Help pulldown menu.
    2. Downloaded from Adobe a completely new Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (AA Pro 9) and then did a repair.
    3. Disable Norton's firewall protection.
    4. Uninstalled AA Pro 9 and then re-installed the newly downloaded AA Pro 9 (in 2.)
    None of these fixed the problem. I have a Windows Vista (32-bit) platform.
    Here are the details of the error message:
    Label: Licensing for this product has stopped working
    Contents:
    You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling
    and reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe Customer
    support for help.
    Message was edited by: Birdy40

    After you uninstalled, you should have done two additional steps before the reinstall: 1. Deleted any left over parts of the Acrobat folder and 2. run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html. These are not sure to solve the problem, but in many cases the problem is related to errors in the registry that the cleaner resolves. Sometimes, there are also some corrupt files left in the Acrobat folder, particularly some bad addons that can be an issue.

    Re: iPhone applications no longer work
    Posted: Aug 26, 2008 4:10 PM in response to: pmonahan
    I am having the same problem as many of you. 3G iPhone. 2.0.2.
    In the past 3 weeks I have had at least 5 if not 8-10 examples of loss of all iPod content and access to all apps. I know this happens on 2.0.2 and I know it happened at least a couple of times on 2.0.1. I am fairly certain that it never happened on 2.0.0.
    This seems to happen EVERY time that the iPod crashes and reboots itself or when I force a hard reset. I haven't tried with a normal turn off/shut down in fear of having to go through this whole process again.
    I have a solution that while not optimal works EVERY TIME!
    1. Do a "reset all settings" from general settings. This will wipe out the set up of an exchange mail client, but not Yahoo, Gmail, or POP. While a pain this only takes a few minutes to reset up. It will not touch any app settings, high scores, etc. Additionally, all of your apps will need to reordered on the screen if you are like me and like certain ones to be on certain pages. Again, a pain, but this takes 5-10 minutes max for 4 pages worth of apps. Additionally, you will need to change any other personalized settings that you have set up (ring tones, favorites, brightness, etc.) At this point all iPod content will be back, but apps still won't work.
    2. Go to the app store and download any app that you want. This will have you reinputing your username and password. Once this is compthe app is fully downloaded and installed you will have access to all of your apps again and your phone will work perfectly UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. Note, during this step, I have done a hard reset multiple times and gone through a overly long Apple logo time frame (and sometimes even hard reset during the Apple logo again) but this has yet to have any ill effect. Once the phone comes back up all apps works and all iPod content is there.
    Finally, I have now stopped downloading or updating apps directly from the phone if at all. As this often causes or requires a hard reset.
    Generally I get one to two days before having to do this again.
    Please know I am not suggest this is all OK and I am barely tolerating this as it should just get fixed, but this is pretty easy and while monotonous on the 5th+ time, it isn't that time consuming and has worked every time.

    Downgrading to iTunes 7.7.0 following the steps in the link below has worked for me for about 12 days now.

    It boggles my mind that with an issue like this so big that Apple STILL doesn't have a permanent fix for it yet.

  • Youtube required constant mouse movment to run smoothly. looked for a fix, now youtube no longer works.

    I have Firefox 18.0.1, Adobe Flash 11.5.502.146, and Java 7.11

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Dvd burning no longer works

    Hi
    I have been burning dvd's on my shiny new powerbook (a happily converted former pc user) for months, but have now been getting this message:
    Sense Key = Hardware error
    Sense Code = 0x30, 0x03
    I have found a lot of similiar posts with variations to the sense codes, but most of them seem to relate to a switch to new media or first time burning. I have had no problems using the same software and the same exact media (same spindle!) for the last 40 dvds I burned. It just stopped working. I can still play dvds...
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks,

  • External dvd burner no longer works

    hello
    recently upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. i have two macs in an audio studio where the computers, their hard drives, and some other gear is one room away from me in a machine room. this cuts down on noise for me in the control room of the studio.
    i've used external dvd burners for the two studio macs. both have been working great. these burners have worked fine under both tiger and leopard. suddenly, after the snow leopard install, neither works. i have never installed any special drivers for these, the os has always properly handled them.
    i have found that if i insert a disc, i can power the burner off and then back on and then the disc will mount. it will not mount just by inserting it per normal. also, cd burning software doesn't see this drive. it's not a choosable option in the menu.
    this is a major pita. i don't think that there is anything else that i can do here. i'm hoping it's clear to apple that this is an area of concern. firewire devices ought to be able to plug in and work, and the os which has handled this so well in the past is not doing it right now.
    i've tried some basic troubleshooting, like swapping firewire cables, but have realized via these forums than many others are having similar issues. i'd love to have this working asap.

    well, i have two external dvd drives, and both are firewire only. and neither one works anymore. it's quite a bummer. i'd love to see them working again. i kind of need them. i sure didn't expect this to be something that stopped working in snow leopard.

  • I have recently bought a new netbook. all my itunes songs are stored on an external drive, however when i downloaded itunes again for the new netbook, they no longer showed in itunes. how can i get my song and podcast library over to the new netbook?

    can anyone help with this please? i feel its wrong to have to pay Apple £25 for something that should be more obvious and easier to do.

    Go into the iTunes preferences and turn off the options that have you Copy Music To My Library.
    Then, add the top folder which contains your music to iTunes - it will create links to your remote folder rather than copy all music to your netbook.
    ** Edit
    You can set the location of your music here too.

    I have a strange issue.
    When I look at my list of downloads in iTunes (I have 100+ active - lots of podcasts for family) the vertical scroll bar appears but it does not work.  I cannot use the arrows at bottom nor can I click in scroll bar or drag window.  I am only able to use my magic mouse to move up and down in the window.
    This does _not_ happen in other windows.  Have looked through dozens of posts but can't find a fix.

  • The ringtone I made and have used for years on iPhone 5 no longer works in 8.3

    I've been using a ringtone I made years ago on my iPhone 5 and with the latest update in iOS the ringtone no longer plays when a message comes in. I checked it in the options and it plays there but when a message comes in, silence. If this is something Apple no longer supports I would ask why? Are they trying to take all the fun out of our lives. People used to love hearing my ringtone when a message arrived.

    Yes it is. It's 3 seconds and in the .m4r format. I used it since I first bought my phone.
    One thing I've noticed, not that this has anything to do with it but... I named my phone xxx since I've had it, now when I hook it up to iTunes it shows up as xxx (2). Any idea what this is about?
