Error Messsage "-50" when burning with iTunes

I have a Duo Core Intel MacBook Pro and am using the latest version of iTunes. Until today I've had no difficulty burning audio CD's. Today iTunes has canceled every burn attempt due to an "unexpected error -50". I burned the playlist with Toast Titanium using the same media with no problem, ruling out a faulty optical drive or recording media. I tried quitting and restarting iTunes, but still cannot burn and audio CD.
Thanks for your kind help and/or suggestions!

May be this article can be of some help:

If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

    I had done all of that to no avail.  I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again.  I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped.  Everything is good to go again.  thanks for  your reply

  • HT203164 I tried my first Windows CD burn with iTunes; the burn fails at different points in the burn with error codes 4450 or 4280.

    I tried my first Windows CD burn with iTunes; the burn fails at different points during the burn, with error codes 4450 or 4280.

    I have the same problem, after years of everything working great. Last time this happened I tried using a different brand of CD and it worked, but I must warn you that now iTunes rejects all three brands I have been trying to use.

    Hi!
    It looks like there might be some security settings or software on your laptop that's preventing the restore process from working.
    Check out this article in Apple's support. It shows you the steps you can take to try to get around error 1611.
    Like diesel vdub said, a DFU-mode restore might give you success where a regular restore might not, so maybe you can try that.
    What you need to do is put your phone into DFU mode, which is a low-level mode that helps the restore process get a little more done, or it can help iTunes get around certain roadblocks (hopefully like the one you're experiencing!). Your computer will install special DFU-iPhone drivers for it, and then iTunes will see it as a phone that needs restoring.
    To get your phone into DFU mode:
    Plug your phone into your laptop.
    Turn the phone off.
    Press and hold the power/lock button. Keep it held in, even after the display turns on and you see something on the screen. As soon as you see something on the screen, start holding the home button as well as the power button, so that they're being pressed together.
    Keep both buttons pressed down for 10 seconds.
    After 10 seconds, release the power button, but keep holding home until the laptop sees a new USB device. Once you see that, you're in DFU mode, and you can let go of buttons. Your iPhone screen will be blank during it all, even though it's actually on, in DFU mode.
    Now your restore should work!
    If your phone shows the Apple logo or anything else while you're trying to get it into DFU mode, then something went wrong. Try the steps again. If it suddenly starts up normally again, try reducing the time to a bit less than 10 seconds--try reducing it by about a second at a time. It should work!

  • Error code 4000 when burning

    Hello,
    I am having trouble burning my songs that I downloaded from ITunes.

Very loud. I ran the diagnostics and this was the result:

    If anyone can help solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated. I have removed all item from running while I burn and it seems to make no difference. I am using Memorex media (CD-R) which is the same media I used with success the last time I burned with ITunes.
    I am running ITunes on a PC with Windows 2000 Pro. Service pack 4.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Please tell us what burner you have. Look in System
    Profiler > Hardware > Disc Burning.
    You're using the Finder to burn?
    A Google search on this error code turns up a lot of
    topics. Some point to the media as the culprit,
    others point to Tiger, some to the drive itself.
    Fuji isn't a bad brand of media, but it's not
    amongst the best, either.
    Generally, an older burner can use 16X media, but
    would obviously only be able to burn at the maximum
    speed of the drive. It's possible that your drive
    doesn't recognize the media code on the disc and
    refuses to burn. Sometimes a firmware update to the
    drive can solve this problem.
    Here's the info under System Profiler>Hardware>Disc Burning:
    SONY DVD RW DW-U10A:
    Firmware Revision: A43h
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 8192 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes

    I'm trying to burn data onto a DVD disc as backup. How do I burn using Finder?
    Also, Power Mac G5 Uniprocessor Firmware update 5.1.5f2 does show when I click on Apple>software updates. However, it does not have a check mark. Would this apply to my computer even though it does not have a check mark?

  • IPhone loses play counts when syncing with iTunes

    I would like to repeat the question from this thread, which has mistakenly been marked "answered".
    When syncing with iTunes, not all play counts are transferred into iTunes. When I turn the iPhone off, it even forgets the complete list of played songs (it is even deleted from iTunes itself).

    I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.

  • HT1386 How do we keep one phone contacts seperate from the other when syncing with itunes

    How do you keep one phones contacts, calendar, etc from another phone when syncing with itunes?

    Disable auto-syncing. Here’s how:
    1. Before you plug the iPhone or iPod into the computer, go to iTunes.
    2. On a Mac, go to the iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices.
    On a PC, go to Edit -> Settings -> Devices
    3. In the pop up window, look for the icon or tab that says Devices. Choose it.
    4. Just below the box, you’ll see a checkbox reading "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically."
    5. Check it and click OK at the bottom of the window.
    Now when you plug the phone in it won't automatically star syncing.

  • Patch for error code 2131 when burning CDs in itunes for Toshiba computers:

    Just today, Toshiba posted patch for the infamous "error code 2131" when trying to burn CDs in itunes on many Toshiba laptops. Lucky for me, today was the first time I tried to do so, but I feel for all you other folks who have been very frustrated about this issue. Here is the link to it on the Toshiba support page:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/susc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=2024958&moid=1909174&rpn=PSAF3U&BV_SessionID=@@@@043462335 6.1208403240@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccgadedlgfhkdecgfkceghdgngdgnn.0&ct=DL&alldocs=false
    I'm going to install it now and report back if there is anything tricky about it (I read in another forum that someone had already gotten the patch and had posted a link to it at a private website where there were a few different options and you had to figure out which was the right one, but this should be easier and "official")
    Hope this helps!

    hmmmmm. i'm proceeding under the assumption that you've got a Dell 5150/E510. if i'm wrong about that, please check in with Dell to confirm your model prior to applying any updates.
    i had a look at the support site for your model (or at least, what i'm assuming your model is). your firmware appears to be up to date for the HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B that you're getting the error on, but there does seem to be newer firmware available for the SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615. so it might be worth getting that, just in case there some kind of odd interaction happening between the drives.
    Dimension 5150/E510
    otherwise, we'd better check on some of the other usual suspects with this sort of thing:
    iTunes for Windows doesn't recognize my audio CDs
    ... and these resources might be helpful with that:

  • ITunes gives error code -54 when sync with my iphone 5

    iTunes gives error code (-54) when i try to sync with my iphone5

    I am having the same issue. Since updating to iTunes 11 my iPhone 5 will no longer wirelessly sync. I am operating the latest version of Mountain Lion on a two month old Macbook Pro. When I plug in the USB I go through the steps of making sure the box is clicked to Wireslly sync, but after a few minutes of un-plugging the cord my phone dissapears from my devices. It tries to locate it, but cannot.
    Furthermore, when I launched iTunes 11 for the first time my phone was synced, but since I accidenttly hit the eject button in the top right, this button has yet to come back. Even when the iPhone is linked via USB. Am I Crazy, stupid, or is this a bug?
    BTW, how did MrTrav15 have this problem on 10/17 a month-and-a-half before the launching of iTunes 11?

  • HT201413 unknown error (-50) when sync with itunes

    When sync my iphone 5 with itunes i get an unknown error (-50) whats his and how do i fix it?????

    I also have the same problems and get the same error message, amongst other things. The iPod (photo) has even been back for repair 3 times, but no fault was found. It worked fine since April but then all the problems I am getting started following the download of Apple's iTunes 'version 5' which has not been cured by then downloading number 6. The effect of this download on my other computer has been that iTunes itself will not open. Apparently caused, some say, by Norton thinking it is some sort of Virus??? (See the discussion forum on this problem and 'iTunes will not open in Windows', it is huge, but still no 'fix' from Apple!). I now have an empty iPod, and 2 computers with iTunes that will not do its job. Not impressed, my husband has ditched his iPod and has already bought a Sony, which he says is much, much better and much more stable. If this is not sorted out soon I will be doing the same.
