Error when burning disc

When burning cds on iTunes, the playlist is checked and then it starts and sounds like it is burning, but then cancels after several minutes and spits the cd back out. Says that the function can not be completed. Unknown error number 4000 or 4002. ???

Hi Michelle,
You are posting in the ITunes for Apple/Mac. Try the iTunes Window group. I am sure you will get a better answer there.
Or buy a Mac and come on back. Just kidding.

  • Unknown error when burning disc

    I get an unknown error when burning playlists to blank discs.  My computer begins to write the discs, but stops after a song or two. 

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

  • Error when burning disc image

    An error occurred when I tried to burn a disc image of a DVD slideshow. The slideshow has 324 slides in it and is almost 38 minutes long at the moment. I have added sound by creating a sound track in iMovie using a combination of songs downloaded from iTunes and tracks from my own CDs then blending the two blending the two. The slideshow plays on the computer and I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
    Any advice?

    I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
    Can you clarify what you did exactly? You mean you saved the project as a disk image, then went back and did further work on the project?
    The audio tracks you imported from iTunes may have been copy protected and will not burn in iDVD. The workaround is to burn those tracks to an audio CD in iTunes, then re-import into iTunes from that CD. Then will transfer to iMovie and iDVD without problems.
    Also, something here may help:

  • Power calibration error when burning?

    I get a power calibration error when burning from IDVD.
    Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

    Basically a power calibration is the drive writes to the blank and then tries to read it back and adjusts the laser power accordingly to get a proper burn. So there are a number of reasons you might get this problem.
    One is the media itself. A bad disc or poor quality media might give you this error.
    Next, you may have a dirty laser and running on of those cleaning CDs (they have little brushes on them to dust off the laser) might do the trick.
    Third, could be a laser on the drive is giving up the ghost. Hopefully it is not the last one.

  • Memory allocation error when burning in premiere elements 2

    I have premiere elements 2. I happily burnt a version of my dvd then suddenly it stopped burning and I had the above message during the burning section of the process. My computer has adequate memory to run this programme and nothing new has been added. I then downloaded Premiere elements 7 as a trial and burnt this Dvd yesterday. However today it won't burn through 7 either so i am reluctant to upgrade unnecessarily. Can anyone shed light on why I receive this error message.
    Other things seem to burn but I am beginning to receive messages that Adobe is low generally on memory allocation.

  • Error message when burning discs on a MacBook and MacPro Desktop

    I have encountered a problem burning a CD-R with the MacBook. I created 12 image files (JPEG) totaling 48 MB. I placed them in a Burn Folder and tried to burn them to a CD-R. I recevied the following error message "Burning the disc failed because an unexpected error occurred (error Code 0x80020000). The same problem occurred on my MacPro desktop. I spoke with an Apple technician. She had me reset the hardware on my desktop. When that did not work she told me the disk was bad. I tried a different brand of CD-R and a DVD disk with the same results. She suggested that I reinstall the operating system. Since it happened on both of my Apple computers it seems to me that the problem is related to a software bug, since it is unlikely that both machines went bad at the same time. The MacBook is only 3 months old and the MacPro desktop a little over a year old. Today I discovered that the desktop would burn a CD-R if I had only one image file in the Burn folder. Has anyone run into this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you for your reply. I have some additional information that may help you. I initially found that if I tried to burn 12 JPEG image files to a CD-R I received the error message I reported in my first post. If, however, I only tried to burn 3 files to the CD-R, they were burned onto the CD and I was able to retrieve them. If I tried to burn more than 3 files it did not work.
    I took my MacBook to the Apple store Genius counter yesterday to get some help and was able to exactly reproduce the errors. The Apple techs suggested replacing the CD/DVD drive. I am waiting for the new drive to arrive. In the mean time, I discovered that if I included any number of files and sub-folders in a single main folder, and then tried to burn that main folder it worked. I was subsequently able to successfully burn a single folder containing 300MB of files and sub-folders. This seems to me to be a bug in the Mac OS, especially since it happened in exactly the same way on 2 different late model Macs. Hope this helps. Let me know if you can reproduce my experience or have any additiona information.

  • Error during backup to DVD: Unknown Error when burning to disc (261)

    I'm writing on behalf of my brother who has an HP Pavilion ZE2120CA laptop and is using the latest version of iTunes. We were backing up his purchased music onto DVD but just after it says "Burning Disc Initialized" the disc ejects from the drive and it says this cryptic error message. We also tried connecting an external Plextor drive via USB2 - same thing. Any suggestions, white papers or documents out there that'll help us? Also feel free to talk technical to us because I am A+ Certified and while my brother is an English major he also has an intimate knowledge of computers and has several programming courses under his belt.
    Thanks,

    Look at some of the other topics. Many of them deal with backup problems since the release of version 7.3. Quite a few of them deal with your situation.

  • Error message when burning discs

    I can't burn a disc from my playlists. I have the newest version of iTunes but I do not have the burn icon at the top of the page. The only way I can initialize a burn is to right-click the playlist and select "burn playlist to disc". The burn begins properly but somewhere before it is finished it cancels itself and gives me the following message : Unable to burn disc. An unknown error occurred (4251). Any suggestions?

    I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, I GOT THE ERROR 4251, WHAT ID DID WAS TO SELECT A SLOWER BURNING SPEED, I SELECTED 4X, AND IT WORKED FINE, THE CD'S I AM USING ARE MEMEOREX CD-RW 12X, TRY IT AND LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS.

  • "This disc could not be verified" error when burning CDs

    Every time I try to run the CD Burner, the disk seems to finalize then I get this error message:
    *This disc could not be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (Error code 0x80020063).*
    I have tried with many blank disks and different data (text files, music files, etc). The CDs I am using are blank Memorex CD-RWs.
    This machine is using a Matshita DVD-R UJ-845, here's the rest of the info from the System Profiler if it helps:
    MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845:

    +Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO+
    +Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds+
    What can I do to get my CD burner working?

    All good suggestions...thanks to all of you weighing in. I have had no issues buring DVDs or CDs (7 months) until this week and am a bit puzzled. Since this verify issue popped up, I've tried buring data from various sources and had some success. As such, I suspect it's not a hardware problem.
    I was able to review 1500 JPEGS burned to 1 DVD one-by-one until I found the single file that was an issue. I did this on an XP machine and got a 'cyclic redundancy' error which leads me to believe that I've got a software problem tied to a recent update.
    That file is not corrupted at the source and can be copied individually without issue. I've varied burn speeds, media types, file types and data sources and have not been able to identify why 3 of 11 have worked.
    The first DVD I burned using dic utility at 4x worked. I felt good that I had a workaround to burning via finder but 3 subsequent attempts with disc utility have failed, too.

  • Error when burning DVD

    I just bought a Mac a few weeks ago, and have had some trouble burning DVD's. I have a G5 running 10.3.9, with a Pioneer Superdrive. I try to burn an image in Disk Utility, but get the error message "The disc is reserved for exclusive use by another application". When I try just burning files using finder, it says "This disc cannot be used". I have tried DVD-R and DVD+R. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi macaboo
    Welcome to apple discussions. Just to add to the already excellent advice kindly provided to you by Fred Shippey;
    I too have one or two suggestions:
    First is to delete the plist for iDvd (but first quit the app). The plist is located in your preferences folder and looks like this (assuming the app has been launched at least once):
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    Now try your iDvd project again. But if that too fails then ...
    Delete encoded assets from the Advanced menu tab and then try the burn again.
    That procedure looks like this. Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

  • HELP! OOstatus error=- 47, ERROR WHEN BURNING

    I am getting an error that states "osstatus error = -47" when I try to burn a disc, does anyone know the workaround for this??
    I am using 2ghz intel core 2 duo macbook
    thanks in advance!

    dicktatorsmith
    We first need to determine what program is involved and the details of what you are doing?
    You cannot burn your content to DVD disc (assumed DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc) with just Photoshop Elements and its associated Elements Organizer? So, if you are getting this error in your burn to disc, I am suspecting that you are not working with Photoshop Elements.
    So, what program and version of it are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
    The error that you present at burn has been seen before with no one description of what it means (that I have ever seen). Sometimes defragmentation of the computer hard drive and/or using another brand/type DVD disc resolves the issue. If you are in Premiere Elements burn dialog, does hitting the Rescan button a few times have any impact on the situation?

    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • ITunes crashes when burn disc

    When I go to my playlist and click the icon "burn disc" iTunes instantly crashes. Have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and still have not been able to get it working. I get an error message that says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. Also, when I try to edit preferences about burning it crashes.

    I'm having the same problem.

  • Error when burning DVD - no plugin DLLS

    When burning a DVD I get an error message that says Plugin Coder error : no plugin DLLS.  Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    They do but aren't cheap.
    Look at SuperMediaStore.
    You might be able to find them cheaper. I was just checking to see if they make them.

  • Hardware Error when burning DVD's

    I keep getting an error message when burning DVD's using Toast Titanium on my iMac..it reads:
    "Drive Reported an error, Sense key = hardware error, sense code = 0 x 03."
    Twice after getting that message I couldn't continue to burn and it stopped, once it did continue to burn and finished successfully. Any ideas, anyone?
    17" iMac G5 w/ iSight   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   upgraded to 1GB RAM

    I get the same message today when burning from Toast 7.02 on my iMac. It happened when I was trying to make an audio CD from my iTunes collection (not when Copying from CD to CD). The exact message I got in the middle of my burn was:
    The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = hardware Error
    Sense Code = 0x03, 0x01
    I tryed again with another CD and got the same thing. I never had a problem with these CD's (TDK CD-R up to 48x).
    I wonder if there has to be some sort of software upgrade fro Roxio Toast or is this a superdrive malfunction/etc. My Superdrive gets very loud during this burn as well. I may take it in to Apple Genius Bar. Any ideas?
