I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Im getting error message when trying to burn disc

Hello, cinemann,
Welcome to the discussions.
+Can you help me?+ Maybe....probably....but you need to give more information about your project.
What are you trying to burn? Movies, photos? From where? iMovie, iPhoto? What versions are you using?
What exactly is the error message? At what point do you get the error message?
What is the 'path' that you checked?
What OS are you using? How much free drive space?
Once you provide more specific information, we can address your problems.

please could you help

Thanks for replying. I went to the store and bought CD's and DVD's of different brands, many of which I have used in the past. All but a couple of them worked. Maxell, Memorex, Verbatim and Sony did not work.
After several long discussions with AppleCare and some tests, they finally determined that the Superdrive needs to be replaced. So, I'm off to the Apple Store.
Thanks again!

Error message when trying to use Toshiba Disc Creator

I recently updated Vista to Service Pack 2 from SP1 and now I'm getting an error message when I try to use Toshiba Disc Creator 2.0.1.3. "Unexpected error occurred. Error Code 32007C-26-00000001" It worked perfectly before.
This is the first time I've used it since updating so I think SP2 may be part of the problem but I'm not sure. I couldn't find any updates for TDC. My system is a Satellite L305-S5919 with Vista 32 bit.
Anyone have any idea what might be causing the error?
Thanks

Have you tried to roll back OS to earlier time and check functionality again, just to be sure it has something to do with SP2 installation?
I dont know if anyone here can offer some solution but Im pretty pessimistic about that and dont think Toshiba will offer new version.
As far as I know Toshiba disc creator was always offered with recovery image only and not as downloadable application.

What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
"not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
Any suggestions?

iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive. How much free space do you have?

I am getting an error message when trying to burn pictures to a dvd rw, and it says the disc can't communicate with the drive?

I am trying to burn some wedding pictures to a blank dvd rw. I keep getting an error message that says the drive and the disc can't communicate. I have run a repair disc and repair disc permissions, restarted my laptop, and still get the error. What else can I do?

DVDSPRO error Message when trying to burn duel layer disc.

get this message when burning a duel layer disc. Don't know what to do.

It sounds like a hardware issue message (there are other messages that can also crop up due to bit rates, layer breaks, etc.)
What is the drive? Is it the stock drive with a G4? It may not be rated to burn DL DVDs (actually do not recall any G4 with stock DL burning) you can double check here http://everymac.com will have a list of what is standard
If it seems that the drive can burn DL Discs
1.) Try trashing DVD SP prefs to see if it helps
2.) Try cleaning the drive
3.) Make sure the firmware is updated for the drive - are these new DVDs? Your drive may not be able to write to them (if they did before than 1 & 2 may help) With the higher speed media older drives cannot write to them
4.) Switch media

Getting Error Message When Trying To Burn To DVD HELP!!!!!

This is the error message I am getting as soon as I click on the "burn" button.
The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:
- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.
Any ideas? Please help ASAP, this project is for my grandpa's birthday and I'm trying to finish quickly!
~K

It's a good idea to check the Project Info (under the Project menu in iDVD) before burning a disc. If any of the Duration bars are in the red, then you need to go back and edit your project. Also check the Encoding type with your total Project Duration: if the project total is under 60 minutes choose "Best Performance;" if it is between 60 and 120 minutes you'll need to select "Best Quality."
Unless you have freed a lot of GB on your hard drive, iDVD will not be able to burn the disc. You'll need at least 15 -25 GB free on your boot drive in order for the app to do all that encoding. It takes a lot of brainwork to turn a 13+ GB movie project into a 4GB DVD file.
When your project is ready to burn, choose File > Save as Disc Image. This tells iDVD to do all the encoding, and will result in a disc image file that you can mount in your DVD Player app to see that all is well. If so, you can quickly burn the disc image with Disc Utility or an app like Toast. If not, then you haven't burned any coasters. Another advantage is that you will be able to burn duplicates of the disc image very quickly, without going through all that encoding again, should other relatives request a copy.
Regards.

Sense Error Message when trying to burn Dual-Layer DVDs?

Hey all,
I am trying to burn a dual-layer DVD disc with the internal drive in my MacBook Pro.
I am getting the same error message from Toast each time I try to burn a disc. I get no response from Disk Utility (it just says "waiting for the disc drive") and Finder doesn't recognize the dual-layer disc when I try to burn in Finder.
I've heard that it may be a media issue, so I've tried with every single brand of DVDs that I can get my hands on. So far, I've tried Verbatim, Sony, and Memorex. I can't find any other brands of media, even at Best Buy?
I've heard that it may be a security update that might have caused this issue. System Profiler says that my machine can burn both DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL.
What is going on?!??

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The two most common suggestions are (a) try other media, which you've done (and Verbatim normally work) and (b) run a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it to see if some dirt or dust on the lens it causing the problem. If this doesn't fix it then it sounds like a hardware fault and best to let Apple check it out.

Error Message when trying to Burn DVD?

In the completion stage of the DVD burn of a slide show in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.- "Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure". Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Previously i have burned a slide show successfully. Now, after 2 trys for this equivalant slide show, I receive this same error message both times. I have a Vista Ultimate system that has 584 GB free space and 334 used space.

Since I posted last, I came across the following link over at the Encore Forum. There the user could not update the burner firmware and found that the disc brand made the difference between failure and success. Imation and Memorex discs worked, whereas Verbatim did not.
So, I stand corrected on focusing in on the "RAM Failure" portion of your error message. But, I am looking forward to further details of your Break Apart Slideshow failure. I have come across at least one case where RAM issue impacted that even when you used the right Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor Output option.

Error Message When Trying To Burn A DVD

I just got a new MacBook Pro running 10.6.3 and when i try to burn a DVD using Toast 7. And I get this error message and the disk will not burn. Does anyone else get this message and how can I fix this.... Thanks
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = Medium ERROR
Sense Code = 0x02
No SEEK COMPLETE

I know it sounds crazy on a new machine, but the slightest bit of dust or dirt can cause problems with the DVD - try running a lens cleaner disc through it and see if that helps ...

Please help: strange error message when trying to burn cds

I have been trying to burn an itunes playlist onto cds and I have never had trouble doing this before, but just this afternoon I have started getting an error message and the disc will automatically eject itself immediately following the initializing stage.
The error message I receive is this: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power for this media."
What does this mean? What can I do to fix the problem? Thank you in advance!!
(Additional information in case this is helpful: The discs are Maxwell CD-R audio cds with 700mb/80min capacity, and my itunes is version 7.3.1. The playlist is long -- spanning multiple cd lengths -- but I have never encountered a problem with that before, so I don't think that is causing the error.)

Same here.Although i've had this problem since febuary of this year.
Just upgraded to 7.4 and it still does'nt work.Its not an uncommon problem,there has been hundreds of threads about this and thousands of users with the same problem,apple don't seem to want to recognise or solve the problem.Disgraceful behaviour on their part.
I've simply had enough now so i've contacted these...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tvand_radio/watchdog/contactindex.shtml
...people.Hopefully they can make apple sit up and take notice of this problem,although i have my doubts.I suggest you do the same if you to have had enough of apple's simply dreadful customer service and faulty software.
Sorry i could'nt be of any help to you but i can assure you that are not alone in this.

Error message when trying to burn

I am getting this message when I try to burn my project to a disc: "There were errors during the project validation that have to be fixed before burning the project."
I don't have any yellow warning triangles anyway and everything runs fine in preview. Please help.

That may mean you didn't fill some drop zone(s). I was able to continue and encode and it worked out fine.
