Error message 4000 when trying to burn a cd in itunes

I am having problems burning a cd in itunes. I am getting the error message the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4000). Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem. Please note that I have looked up other ways to solve problem and have tried them and none of them seem to work. Such as in program files I clicked on repair and not uninstall to see if there was any possible corrupt itunes files to be fixed. I changed the burn speed and that did not work. The only thing I did not do was a total uninstall of itunes. I need to know should I do that and if so what site will I need to go on to re-install itunes and will I have to pay for it? My computer which is Windows XP already had itunes on it when I bought it so I do not want to pay for itunes. So can someone please give me some guidance regarding this matter. And please note that I was able to burn cd's in itunes before and then it just stopped working. And I have tested my computer with the windows media player and I was able to burn music from my music library so I know my problem is with itunes.
Thanks!

I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

We are having the same issue.
Windows 7 x64
Microsoft Office 2013 (Word)
Adobe Reader XI (11.0.0)
Whenever someone tries to embed a PDF file into a Word document, the following error occurs:
The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed.
I have looked at alot of articles online that say to 'Disable' Protected Mode. This does not resolve the issue. This option is not set by default in our environment.
Do we have any confirmation or information from Adobe on this issue?

Hello Princess Lynne Anne,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
First I recommend taking a look at this article named iTunes: Music purchased from iTunes Store cannot be burned to MP3 format CD found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1476.
Songs purchased from the iTunes Store may either be in AAC format or AAC Protected format depending on when they were purchased (older songs used AAC Protected format). You can convert AAC songs to MP3 format allowing them to be burned to an MP3 format CD, however AAC Protected songs can not be converted. You can, however, back them up to a data CD or DVD, or you can burn them to an audio CD (which can be played in a CD player).
And if your issue still persists after converting any of these purchases, then I would recommend this part of the article named Disc Burning Quick Assist found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1152#learn2:
Top troubleshooting tips
In addition to the following tips, check out these articles:
Solving problems with burning discs
If the disc burning options are dimmed or unavailable
If a burn does not succeed, check the disc or try another disc
Eject the disc from the drive and inspect it to see if the surface is dirty or scratched, or if it already has data written on it (the shiny surface is slightly darker where data has already been burned). If it's dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth and try burning again. If the disc already contains data, try another disc. If you're using a rewritable disc that already contains data, be sure to erase it before burning data on it again. Small flaws or surface inconsistencies can cause an unsuccessful burn. Try burning your content to another disc or try a different brand of disc (if possible).
Make sure that your optical drive can record discs
If your drive is built into your Mac, make sure that you have at least a Combo Drive if you want to burn a CD or a SuperDrive if you're trying to burn a DVD (or CD). Consult your Mac manual or your third-party manufacturer's disc drive manual for more information.
Check the disc type
Make sure that your disc drive is capable of writing to your media at hand. For example, you won't be able to burn a DVD+RW disc with an older Apple SuperDrive. Consult your Apple or third-party product manual for your drive's supported media specifications. You should also use discs that are rated for the burn speed of your drive.
Slow things down
In the Burn dialog, specify a burn speed that is slower than the maximum speed rating for your disc drive (if you can) and try burning another disc.
Free up some memory
If you've got other applications open, quit the ones that you're not using (or quit them all except for the one from which you're burning your disc). Allow the disc to burn before doing other things on your computer.
Check your hard drive's available space
When you burn a disc, your Mac temporarily sets aside an amount of hard disk space equal to the amount of data being burned to the disc. If you're burning a large amount of data, you may run out of room on your hard disk if it's almost full, which may prevent a disc from burning. To free up space, throw out unwanted files or back up files to an external drive.
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart can resolve issues. Once you've restarted your Mac, try burning another disc again.
Update your software
Use Software Update (from the Apple menu, choose Software Update) to check for, download, and install the latest versions of your Apple software. If you're using a third-party burner, visit the manufacturer's website for the latest software updates for your model.
Check your connections
If you're using an external disc writer, make sure that all of your cable connections are secure and that the optical drive is powered on.
Cheers,
Sterling

Error message 4850 when trying to burn a playlist to disc

I have recently upgraded my laptop to a dell E6500, and have downloaded the latest version of itunes. Since I have had this new laptop, and new version of itunes, I have been unable to burn discs from playlists. It starts to write a track, and then i get an error message "4850". Can anyone help me with this? Ive seem some other people saying they have had this problem, but im not v conputer savvy, and dont always understand their technical response
Thanks

I too have been having troubles burning DVDs from iTunes, in my case under Vista. I think this could be a re-run of an earlier iTunes problem when Apple took a sudden dislike to grammatical expressions such as '. Anyway, by trying to burn with other software I've found the error happens when iTunes tries to burn a track with either a very long name, or a track that contains an odd symbol. Just now a track name from Verdi's Aida was not only very long but also contained this symbol / and I got repeated Error 4850. Once I edited the track name to remove this (and shortened the track name for good measure) the problem has gone away.

Error Message 4621 when trying to burn a playlist

I am running Windows XP and Itunes 10.4. I haven't burned a playlist to a CD for about 5 years and the last time I did, there was no problem. I imported one of my purchased CDs into Itunes and all songs play fine. The CD has since been damaged and I was trying to burn the songs onto a CD. I'm using Maxell CD-R discs. After about 30 seconds, I get an error message 4621 saying that my attempt to burn failed. I am using a Dell XPS 400 and my E drive is HL-DT-STDVD+-RWGWA4164B. I haven't updated drivers in a while, but the drives work fine and play the CDs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks
Kelly

Error message 4261 when trying to burn discs

Arghh, this is driving me mad. Since I updated to Itunes 11, I have been unable to burn playlists to disc. I'm a teacher and need to do this a lot for my work. I've wasted about 20 blank CDs as they start burning, then after a few tracks I get the message "Cancelling disc burn" and the disc is ejected with the error message 4261. I've tried changing the burn speed, I've unchecked the box about including CD text. Why is it doing this and more importantly, how can I stop it?
Can anyone help?

Please can anyone help me with this?

I am getting error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD

Hi, I am running the latest Lion update, on my MB Pro, and keep getting the error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD. Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive. I see that many others have had the same problem, but relly cant seem to find anyone that has a solution that works.. Help

It's an error thrown by Mac OS X's DiscRecording framework (as opposed to an error communicated by the drive's firmware). The message is (as you probably saw)
"The burn failed because of a medium write error."
Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive.
I don't think there's one single cause for this error. It might be a dirty lens. It might be something else. Not all recordable optical discs work well with all burners. Try a different brand.
