Error message: Disc Burner is in use by application other than itunes

My burner was working fine a few days ago, yesterday I tried to burn a playlist from itunes and I got the error message in the subject of this post.
I checked to see if my burner was working...according to the system it is working properly. Also, I am able to burn and backup files and photos. For some reason I cannot burn music as a data file or music CD.
Any suggestions? I have a hp PC...how can I tell if my burner is indeed being tied up by another program or if my computer has a virus?

been having the same problem for months.
i can only burn cd's in itunes for a few minutes after rebooting my g5. nothing is physically wrong with my burner and there is NO other application using it as the Itunes error states...
anyone have any insight on this?

Hello queenabs,
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found." I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:

Has anyone seen this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"?

Two weeks ago I successfully burnt a CD of Word files. Yesterday I put in a blank DVD and got a formatting error message. I didn't think too much of it (thought I had bad discs).
Tonight I tried to burn a CD out of iTunes. I got this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"
I suspect this is not good.
Can anyone help? Details on the DVD drive below.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the post.
No moving or renaming files, except for I deleted a file related to Adobe Acrobat to remove a toolbar thing. But nothing other than that.
Are there specific files I should be looking out for?
Thanks again.

You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org

What happens if i use a software other than itunes to transfer music?

Hello people,
Im new to apple and its softwares, tricks..etc.
So the question is i purchased some stuff from itunes i would like to have in phone and i also have loads of music in my pc that were taken from old cds etc...after my research i noticed there is a itune match or someting that can allow you do that with a 25$/year cost which i agree is not much and i might end up doing it but i don't find it right to NOT HAVE FULL control over my stuff...so is there anyway to be able to transfer these old songs into iphone without using itunes without any risk or problem?

Nothing.

Why do i keep getting error message while burning a DVD using iMovie footage?

I made an iMovie, loaded it into iDVD, watched it on my MacBook, tried to burn it and received an error message along the way saying that it couldn't continue. Another pop-up simultaneously said that I had to choose a source for my blank DVD-R. What am I missing?

How did you load it into iDVD?
The recommended way is to
1) in iMovie, use the Share menu to SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER in Large Size.
2) Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at lower right) and drag in the movie you just shared.
3) Set up any menus and such and burn your DVD.
Is that what you did?

Error: the disc burner is in use by an application other than iTunes

Would really love to burn a disc...I have unistalled my Roxio and still get the message. Any ideas?

What order are you doing things in to burn this?
Try clicking "Burn Disc" before inserting a CD. iTunes should prompt you to insert a disk and it might just work. As opposed to putting in a disk first, then clicking burn.

"disc burner is in use" error message?

I am trying to burn CDs from an iTunes playlist and get the message "The disc burner is in use by an application other than iTunes" when it is not in use. This happens about half the time

Are you playing a song from the playlist you are trying to burn. This happened to me and playing a different song fixed it for me. For now ;-)

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 is that and how can i fix it?t

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.

Error message when burning a disc of photos

I was trying to burn a disc of a large number of photos - around 400, and I got this error message: "The burn to the HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS23N drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry." I did a sample burn of about 5 or 6 photos and it worked fine, but this large project failed. I have a total of 1200 pictures I'm trying to burn. Any advice? Thanks for your help. I have spent hours trying to get this project done. It looks like it is in the "preparing to burn" stage for 10 or so minutes, then when it gets ready to burn, I get the failure message. Thanks again!

Take your choice:
Bad discs
Dust bunnies in drive blocking laser
Drive failing
Crashed/corrupt firmware controlling drive
Crashed system component
Try different brand of discs and/or slower burn speed
You don't say anything about your model computer. With some you can reset software. Of course sometimes restarting a computer can help.

Unable to capture error message while creating an SO using bapi

Hi,
Can anybody suggest how to capture the error message while creating a SO using BAPI.
I have developed a customeized BAPI and using the BDC format to create the SO.
Note: i am using a call transaction method for the BDC.
I am sending the message into message1.
but i am unable to send the same into an internal table
shyam.

Hi Shyam
If my understanding is correct, you are performing BDC process within the customized BAPI...
And you want to collect the messages from BDC to an internal table and pass to the output.
Proceed as below:
1. While calling BDC, use CALL TRANSACTION .... with addition: MESSAGES INTO itab. The structure of itab should be like BDCMSGCOLL.
2. Now the messages will be collected in ita.
3. Prepare the messages using FM: FORMAT_MESSAGE
4. Collect to the returning table.
Hope this helps...
Though i could not understand the reason of creating a BDC within BAPI, you can opt for loading orders via BAPI's like: BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1 or BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.
Kind Regards
Eswar
