Error message 2122

i try to burn music onto a cd but i get an error message 2122. i've updated my firmware but it still doesn't work. what can i do?

PLEASE READ ALL THE MESSAGE FIRST!!!
THIS IS MY CURRENT DIAGNOSTICS FROM ITUNES ON 1 FEB 06
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Dell Computer Corporation Dimension 4600i
iTunes 6.0.2.23
CD Driver 2.0.4.3
CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2
LowerFilters: PxHelp20 (2.0.0.0), drvmcdb (1.0.0.1), sscdbhk5 (1.0.0.1), MxlW2k (1.1.0.122),
UpperFilters: GEARAspiWDM (2.0.4.3),
Video Driver: 128MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro\128MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
D: SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-616E, Rev F501
Drive is empty.
E: TEAC DVD+RW DV-W58E, Rev D.0N
Drive is empty.
The last failed audio CD burn had error code 2122(0x0000084a). It happened on drive E: TEAC DVD+RW DV-W58E on CDR media at speed 0X.
STEPS I DID TO BE ABLE TO BURN WITH MY DELL COMPUTER:
1) I upgraded my Flash Bios at Dell from BIOS 09 to BIOS A12 by installing Dell Dimension System BIOS update. Re-boot.
2) I upgraded my chipset at Dell and installed Intel Chipset Software Installation Utilitly. Re-boot
3) I upgraded my TEAC DV W58 drive by installing from Dell the TEAC DV-W58E HH 8X DVD+RW update. Re-boot.
4) Re-install current version of iTunes. All songs and my library of over 10,000 songs INTACT!
After all that I made a short play list. Clicked burn, drawer opened, inserted disc, clicked burn, drawer closed, crossed fingers AND……. Error 2122. BUT>>>>>>>>>>>
I THEN PUT IN THE DISC WITHOUT CLICKING BURN. LET THE DRIVE SPIN, CLICKED BURN AND LO AND BEHOLD IT BURNED. I HAVE BURNED 4 DISCS THAT WAY WITH AAC, PROTECTED AAC AND MPEG ALL TOGETHER ON THE PLAYLIST TO SEE IF ONE OR THE OTHER WOULD STALL. GOLD!!!! IT WORKS EVERYTIME.
So I guess the bottom line would be if you have not yet tried, do put the blank disc in first and then try to burn your playlist. If it works, great. If not go ahead and do the above upgrades. Your computer needs them anyway.
Hope this helps, it helped me and now you can see I’m burning fine in iTunes 6.0.2.23. Good Luck and Best Wishes - deusirae

  • Error Message 2122 on itunes 6.0.2.23

    I don't know if anyone else is having this issue or has had this issue, but why is it that I can import songs off my Music CD's into itunes (the lastest version), but none of my playlists or songs will burn onto a blank CD that I insert?
    It used to burn CD's before this update of itunes but now I can't. Why is that? Why can't I burn anything with itunes? I can burn data CD's with Roxio..I did that as a test to see if the Driver was corrupted and that's why I can't burn..but it turns out I can burn a CD just not with itunes anymore. What is this unknown error message 2122 that itunes keeps popping up whenever I try to burn any songs onto a blank CD with the software?
    Please do tell me..because I have over 300 songs in itunes, some of which I bought at the music store and now I can't burn those songs on a CD...what is the point of itunes if the Burner is failing to Burn a CD???? If anyone has any idea about this, please share.
    Thank You

    Savita,
    Let's start with the support site for your computer. Go there and click on the "Show All" link.
    Download and install the updates labeled "Intel Mobile Chipset", "Philips SDVD6004 2X Slim DVD+RW", and "nVidia GeForce4 4200 Go".
    If that doesn't fix the problem, come back and we'll try something else.
    Error 2122 is a "bad write speed for media" error. You might also try deliberately setting your burn speed in the iTunes preferences to 16x and see if that helps. But iTunes should already be doing that if you have it set to maximum possible speed.

  • Solution for Error Message 2122!?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been reading all your posts about error message 2122 and so far nothing has worked. Someone mentioned looking at the compatability tab and after playing around with it, it worked! Here's what I did...
    Right click on the iTunes logo on your desktop and choose the compatibility tab. I am running Windows XP, so in the first box, for compatibilty mode, I chose to run as Windows 2000.
    Click OK
    Cd burn worked fine!
    Let me know if anyone else has success with this.

  • I tunes freezes and receive error message '2122'

    Thanks

    bt_canada,
    I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.
    To be honest, there's about 3 drives that kick up this error because of a bug in iTunes, but I can't tell if that's your problem until I see the diagnostics summary.

  • Error code 2122

    I am having trouble burning after upgrading my version of iTunes as of a few months ago. I can use my drive to burn CD's just fine with other programs, so my drive is fine, but iTunes has a big problem creating CD's. Every time, it check the playlist, and prepares the disk but then ejects the disk and gives me the message "The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occured (2122)."
    if anyone knows of a fix, or a work-around please let me know. thank you for the support.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    That error is a video circuit error, and on the Powerbook the video is integrated on the logic board. If you're handy, you can replace the logic board yourself, or have someone else do it. In the US, it's been reported that some Apple stores have offered a 'fix everything' service for around $350, which would be the least expensive way to go, if something like that is available to you.

  • Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

    Hello,
    I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
    The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
    Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
    I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
    What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    you have to update Vista go to this site and up-date http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

  • Error message into a Variable.

    Dear users,
    I have a rather usual (unusual from the weekend beers for me though!!) query which I can't figure out a proper way to implement.
    My requirement is like this:
    I have a message class in which I want to define a text 'Employee number & not found'.
    I want to use this in the program, but not to raise this error. Instead, I want to move this error message with the Employee number into a Character(200) variable.
    So instead of using MESSAGE e0xx(messageclass) USING employee number, I would like to move the error text into a variable which looks like:
    lv_text = e0xx(messageclass) USING '1234'   which stores the text 'Employee number 1234 not found' in lv_text.
    How would I acheive it??
    Thanks, V!

    Try tis way
    message e999(00) with i_emp-empno into lv_text.
    press f1 in message will provide you more details

  • IPod seen by windows, not by iTunes+ weird error message

    I have a first generation 2GB iPod nano and i use windows xp. I can't load any music because iTunes doesn't see my iPod and an error message pops up that reads like this: "iTunes: iTunes.exe corrupt file. The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes is corrupt and unredable. Please run the checkdisk utility." I've tried everything, reinstalling iTunes, different versions, reinstalling OS, resetting iPod, even on another computer, same problem. Other than that, the iPod works normally, it's just lacking music..
    and why is there no email adress from apple for service qustions? 10x

    I still don't get it, how can I put it in disk mode if I CANNOT see the iPod in iTunes..?
    Did you read the document i linked you to? here's another link to it:
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    whereabouts in that procedure in that document (that you get to by clicking that link) does it say that you have to connect it to iTunes to put it into disk mode?
    ... never mind ... i guess you've fixed it anyway ...

  • Error message iPod cannot update b/c all of the playlists no longer exist

    Hello. I have been getting this error message. "Songs on the iPod "MAR(the name of my iPod)" cannot update because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist." And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist. I have a feeling ths might have to do with the fact that on vacation the person I was visiting gave me a gift of putting all of his music that would fit into the external hard drive part of my iPod, and for the past week or so I have been putting that music onto my 40 GB portable hard drive at home. I suspect I took a vital folder out of my iPod by accident. Right now I have the folder iPod_control if I open my iPod up in My Computer. Am I missing something? Right now my iPod is empty because iTunes made a composite playlist last week and I deleted it thinking I could get my real playlists back. Can you help me, or reccomend a site/someone who can? Thank you.

    hiya!
    And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist.
    let's just doublecheck this. folks get this message if they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preferences tab. so bring up that tab ("edit > preferences", click "ipod" while the ipod is showing up in the source list), and do a playlist by playlist crosscheck of the playlists selected in that tab, and the playlists showing up in the itunes sourcelist.
    is there any playlist selected in the preferences tab that isn't showing up in the sourcelist?
    love, b

  • Windows Blue Screen Error Message Appears As Soon As IPod Connected

    Everytime I connect my IPod to my computer, I get the Windows Blue Screen error message. Thought it was the cable, so plugged cable in by itself. No problem. Uninstalled IPod and ITunes software and then plugged in IPod, still got the Blue Screen. The Blue Screen says something about "recent plugged in device problem". It is not the cable, it must be the IPod. Did not have this problem when I bought it. Tried it on labtop and get the same error message. I can't do updater or anything that requires me to plug the IPod into a computer because the Blue Screen appears immediately. When I unplug, the Blue Screen remains and locks up the computer so I have to restart each time. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help.

    Hi Mike thank you for replying,
    I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
    I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
    If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.
    Thx

  • IPod Error Message: "The disk could not be read from or written to."

    Hello!
    I was syncing my sister's video iPod (30GB) and this error message pops up "Attempting to copy to the disk. "SARAH'S IPO" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I have restored it three times already, but once it starts putting the music and files back onto the iPod it pops up with that error message. I have updated to the latest version of iTunes and iPod software available. My OS is Windows XP.
    Is this something serious? Will I be able to fix it myself or will I need to send it in to be fixed by Apple? Will that be expensive? We didn’t get the Apple replacement plan. D=
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. ^_^
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   15" PowerBook 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, 1.5GB RAM - Windows XP with iPod 5 Generation

    Okay I went thru that entire list and here's what I got...
    (1) My OS is XP and is running fine.
    (2) I've updated my windows
    (3) I don't know of any software that might be interfering.
    (4) There are no damaged files.
    (5) My Windows hard-drive is not damaged and I've tried restoring my iPod's disk thru iTunes but it still doesn't work.
    (6) I don't have an iPod photo and I can't find the folder to delete the cache if if I did.
    (7) The USB cord is firmly connected into my USB port and my iPod
    (8) My music is on my external hard-drive so I need to keep 3rd-party hardware connected
    (9) I will try another USB cord to see if that works.
    Is there anything else that I can do? Can Apple fix this?
    Please let me know.

  • IPod Touch will no longer sync...error message.

    For some reason my older iPod Touch without a camera on it will not sync any more and I am getting an error message saying this iPod cannot be synced. Now I had it set up to sync over Wi-Fi and I would occasionally hook up to the computer with the cable and got error messages on both. Now I read something about removing the SC Info Folder. If I do that will that mess things up with syncing my iPhone? 

    What is the exact wording of the error message?

  • Error Message: Need to purge Cache in Adobe Bridge CC (on PC)

    I tried purging using Adobe Bridge by going to Edit/Preferences/Cache then purging, but it becomes non responsive.  The error message said the problem files were at Users/(my user name)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/BridgeCC/Cache.   There are 4 files in there that are taking up 124 GB!  Can I simply delete these files or will it corrupt my regular files?  I tried doing as some other forums suggested and hold the ALT key down when opening Bridge before purging, but no luck.

    Yes, you can delete the cache files manually,  Just be advised that Bridge will become very, very slow until it finishes rebuilding its caches.  Depending on your files, that can take a few minutes or several hours.
    A good way of doing it is at night, so you can do it before going to bed and let Bridge rebuild caches overnight.
    If you can, save the cache files before deleting them to an external drive, so that you'll have them as backup if something goes wrong.
