Error while burning itunes playlist

I've burned many discs in the past from itunes playlists. However, now I am getting an error. The songs are successfully copied to the disc, but when I drag the disc icon to the trash (where the burn symbol shows up) it seems to start to work but then I get the following error, "An error occured while burning disc. This disc cannot be used." I tried several different discs CD-R and CD-RW. I tried using disc utility to burn. I CAN burn other files like word documents etc. It seems to just be songs that won't burn. I recently updated to itunes 7. Any advice?

Please note, I have read through all the trouble shooting help. I have the preferences set to burn "audio CD" which seems to be the problem for others. aaargh! Really frustrated!

regsrv32.exe - the program you are trying to run should normally be in:
c:\Windows\System32 (assuming a standard set up)
You could check to see if it is there. If it is you could try putting the path in front of the command so it would be as follows:
c:\Windows\System32\regsvr32 vbscript.dll
The problem may be caused by an incorrect environmental variable setting. If you want to try and fix it, the following link gives a description how to do it.

Errors while burning?

I just put together a pretty simple, one-track video on iDVD and while it was burning, I got a message saying something like "errors while burning" - I did not save the exact message, but I'm wondering what the cause for this might be. I actually closed out of the DVD project, took it to the trash, and recreated a new DVD project out of the iMovie project. I thught this would fix the problem, but there were still errors while burning the second time. I tried to play the DVD and the system would not read the DVD, there was no picture at all. Any suggestions? (I have more then 25GB of free space on my hard drive - about 35 I believe)

You're welcome. Here's a bit of background:
a) I use MacJanitor to trigger the Mac's maintenance scripts (download it from VersionTracker.com), and then use Apple's Disk Utility (look in Applications-Utilities) to repair permissions on your main hard drive. Your Mac would do maintenance tasks by itself if it was turned on continuously, but MacJanitor lets you run daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks (I run it before I do something big, or when my Mac seems slow or goofy). Disk Utility can do first aid on hard disks, and on your main hard drive (boot drive), it can Repair Permissions (It's important that permissions are correct).
b) Creating an image file is often recommended in these forums because it gives you more control over the burning process, and it creates a virtual DVD that reliably can be tested. In iDVD, choose Save As Disc Image and iDVD will go through the encoding and other processes, except the DVD is created on your Desktop. You can use Apple's DVD Player to play the virtual DVD and make sure it works like you want. When you're satisfied, Disk Utility can be used to copy the virtual DVD to an actual disk. To do this, choose the image file in DU and click Burn (you'll have some options for burn speed -- I'd choose something slow to reduce burning errors -- perhaps 1x or 2x but wouldn't go faster than half the rated speed of the burner).
Shout if you need clarification.

Error while downloading Itunes! Cant download AAS!

I keep getting this error, while downloading Itunes.
There is a problem with this windows installer package.
A program required for this install to completecould not be run.
contact your support personnel or package vendor.
Ive been searching for a solution, and figured out that its the Apple Application Support that cant download.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
I just bought a new ipod touch, and im itching to use it.

There should be a better way , while burning a playlist!

I have the latest version of iTunes, and, yesterday, I downloaded an album, but, I ended up wasting three CDs before I got the answer from another music player. iTunes gave me no clue.
The problem: a 13-track playlist took about 20 sec. to burn. I, even, remade the playlist. I was getting the list of songs when I put the CD in the CD player drive, and they played, but my external CD player indicated that I had a single song, and nothing played. Finally, I played the CD with Winamp, which confirmed that I had a single DATA file. I remember trying to burn some data a while back, so I changed my settings for burning, and they were set for Data. There was no further problem after changing to CD (burning DATA files, ironically, did not work).
I can understand the problem, but I am still wondering why iTunes tries to confuse me every time I try to make changes in my preferences, telling me that I "don't have enough permissions", although I am the administrator.
Then, changes to the format are not obvious, and I get no notice that I am burning music files as data. There are enough lame questioning about certain actions, but not for something so important. Why I am not asked:"are you sure that you want to burn the album as Data".
I think that this is a bug, if I ever seen one, and the permissions thing makes it worse.
Finally, why is not possible to leave notices like I did here. Typically, support is either here, or miserable if requested from Apple. There should be a way.
I understand my problem,

I am still wondering why iTunes tries to confuse me every time I try to make changes in my preferences, telling me that I "don't have enough permissions", although I am the administrator.
That's clearly a fault. Whether it's an iTunes problem or a Windows problem I can't say at this time. If you search the Using iTunes for Windows forum for "permissions", you should find threads that can help you sort out this problem.
Then, changes to the format are not obvious, and I get no notice that I am burning music files as data.
If you click on a playlist and look at the lower-right of the iTunes window, it says right there what format it will use to burn the playlist.

Error While burning CDs

I have mp3 and m4p songs (bought from iTunes stores) on my PC. I have also completed the authorization process for the non registered songs.
When I try to burn an Audio CD using iTunes, it gives the following error with respect to iTunes music store files.
Please let me know how can one burning iTunes music store files (Protected AAC audio files) to MP3 CDs.

This can be caused by poor quality media ( = poor quality coating).
Not recommended: Memorex, Sony, cheap supermarket offerings
Recomended: Verbatim, Fuji, Maxell, Taiyo Yuden.
Also, use a slow burn speed like 2x or 4x.

I cannot burn itunes playlist to a cd.

I tried several times to burn an audio CD using ITUNES playlist. It just hangs after initializing. I know it's not a hardware problem because I've burned CDs before using ITUNES. Please HELP. I am going insane.

Hello sisterluke,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you are trying to burn a playlist in iTunes to a disc. To do that, simply follow the directions below.
Create a CD or DVD
Create a playlist that contains the songs or files you want to burn to the CD; make sure the items you want to include have a checkmark beside them.
Insert a blank disc.
Select the playlist and choose File > Burn Playlist to Disc.
If Burn Playlist to Disc doesn’t appear in the menu, the playlist you selected can’t be burned to a CD because it contains items with usage restrictions (for example, a song your computer isn’t authorized to play).
Select a disc format.
If you’re creating an audio CD, choose your options:Change the recording speed:
Choose an option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu.
When you burn an audio CD, iTunes automatically uses the best recording speed for the CD. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the recording speed to match the CD’s rating.
Change the amount of silence between songs:
Choose an option from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.
Have all the songs on the disc play at the same volume:
Select Use Sound Check.
Include information that disc players in some vehicles can display:
Select Include CD Text.
Click Burn.

Error in burning iTunes library to DVD as back up

I'm keen to make a back up of my iTunes library onto DVD.
When I try to do this, having followed the instructions to the letter, the system chugs through, checks the playlist, tells me it is initiating the burning, then I get a message canceling the operation reading 'unknown error 4251'.
Now, I can't find anything relating to this error on the Apple website, however, there are other users with the same problem using other forums. The problem is though, there don't seem to be any answers resolving the problem.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Well....You do not absolutely need to Use iTunes for Backing up your Music. Any program that burns DVDs can burn music files as data disks.
iTunes can work fine for music files BUT: I prefer more control and completeness over my backup process. It is also very important to note that a large limitation of using iTunes to manage the backup is that the iTunes method does not maintain the two meta-data files (iTunes Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml) where your Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. are stored. See: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), it is critical that you also make and archive multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
If your music is located under one common Folder (e.g.-‘iTunes’), then it is easiest to physically copy that folder and all its sub-folders in one simple process. It can be done quickly, and incrementally – several times a day, when necessary. In the case of any data loss, just re-copy your entire (or partial) music library back to wherever it was, placing it in the main Folder that the previous iTunes expected. Along with the .ITL meta-data file, this completes a full ‘restore’ of your music to the time of your last backup.
Use of a backup software program will greatly help. It will allow you to easily perform incremental backups of only the files that have changed. WinXP has such a facility built-in. I use a free program called FileSync ( http://www.fileware.com ). There are many out there. Some use Zipped files or proprietary formats, others use standard file formats. I like FileSync as it uses normal file formats that can be viewed/managed via any Windows program or utility.
Here's a list of possible ways to copy your music files from your main iTunes computer to another storage medium for backup purposes.
1) Use an External Hard Drive to store the complete iTunes meta-data files and underlying Music Folder structure and songs from your main computer. They are quite cheap now, for their storage volume. This is my preferred main medium.
2) If you have two computers:
2a) Connect them through a router
2b) Connect them using a Direct (w/Mac) or Crossover (PC/PC) Ethernet cable (See: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html)
2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. See: here as an example.
Copy the files and folders from one computer to the other. Use the second PC as your backup repository.
3) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7+ GBs each) with the music data files and store them safely. Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your DVD drive can manage these).
4) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #3 above and store them safely in more space Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your CD drive can manage these).
5) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB – 4+GBs) to store the files only if you have a small amount ripped music or have multiple and/or jumbo USB drives at your disposal that will fit your music library.
6) Use the second internal hard drive (if available) of your PC -- not optimum, as you really want to physically separate the storage of backups from the originals, but good as a tertiary storage device.
By keeping only one copy of your music (other than on the iPod), you are not truly 'backed-up' and are running a high risk of losing your music. Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
It is a good policy to backup all your important data. It is a very smart policy to back it up on more than one medium.
External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. Very cheap backup insurance, indeed. See This Link

Win 32 appilication error while running Itunes 7 setup

Does any one have a solution to the error "Itunessetup.exe is not a valid Win32 Application" while running the new Itunes setup.

Finally an asnwer from Apple:
Dear Stefanie,
I understand that you're receiving an error when trying to open the iTunes
installer that you downloaded. I'd like to try to help you resolve this issue.
It appears that your web browser may be truncating your download of the iTunes
software. I urge you to try using a different web browser to download iTunes. If
this is not possible, you can also try using a different computer to download
iTunes, and then transfer the iTunes installer file (iTunesSetup.exe) to your
original computer and open it from there.
Some transfer options would include using your iPod to transfer the file via
hard disk mode, using a local network, burning a CD, using an external hard disk
or a USB drive, or even sending the file to yourself via email or over an
instant messaging network.
I hope this information helps to resolve your iTunes installation issue. If it
does not and you still need assistance from Apple, you will need to call Apple
technical support (there may be a fee associated with the call). To find the
appropriate phone number, please visit:

Multiplex Error - While Burning Disc Image

I've been trying to burn an hour and a half dvd using idvd '08 on professional quality, coming from and AIC HDV project in final cut express 3.5. It takes around 5 hours to encode and then for the third time it's given me a multiplexer error at the end. Is there anyway to solve this?
Thanks,
Mike

Do you have 20GB+ free on your start-up drive? Do you have any external HDs attached?
Your MacBook Pro hasn't frozen up while encoding?
There is 10.5.2 available today.

Error While Burning to Disc

I've tried to burn two separate DVD files to disc using iDVD 5.0.1. Both times a dialogue box came up saying "Burning Finished. Errors were found during the burning process" The recording device reported the illegal request: Cannot write medium – incompatible format. (0x30, 0x05.)"
Any ideas on what this means and how I can fix it?

I've used Memorex a couple times and it was okay, but others have reported problems. Never have used Staples, but even the best brands regularly go on sale around here at good prices. If it's something important, I'd recommend buying a top brand on sale (very little price penalty).
Here's my flock of ideas to try before Thanksgiving -- if I was to guess, I'd say your hard drive went to sleep and caused the error -- but here's my burn process:
Do something small first; get some experience before you need to do a big project.
Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of free space on your main hard drive for scratch space while iDVD is working.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, Verbatim, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Give yourself lots of time.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor followed by Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Reduce the errors in this process by creating an image file (by using the Save as Disc Image command), and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x).
I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
Try testers; you can use DVD-RW.
I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
No other apps open.
Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs.
If you use iDVD for burning the DVD (and don't make a disk image), don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

Error while installing iTunes 8 on Leopard 10.5.5

I've been trying to install the latest iTunes (8) to my machine along with all the other software updates, and while I was able to get all my other updated to load successfully (including the update to 10.5.5), my iTunes update keeps giving me the following message:
My internet connection is fine - I tired this several times making absolutely sure my internet was connected, even after running OnyX, but the error keeps coming back. Help? 'm assuming perhaps something got corrupted along the way, but if that's the case, what can I do to fix this?
I have not opened my iTunes program since this error has been popping up - frankly, I'm a little scared to!
Thank you for any help

Bumping - still don't know what to do.

13008 error while in iTunes....

I've researched this as much as I could and see that some people are getting an error message when they try to open itunes. Everything I searched says this error is 13008 and it says that it can't open itunes. My issue is that I'm getting an error message that says "Can not save iTunes unknown error 13008" while I'm in iTunes with the program running.
Anyone have a clue what this is and how I would fix it?

Error while burn data into Disk

Hi guys,
Trying to burn a data (mov) to a DVDR but it's failed and prompt out the error as below
The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
What's that means? I've try to burn in 8x, 4x...
Thanks for help.

Hi there,
I can't try that one I'm delivering my photographic work to a client and it as to be organized as files in folders.
I've seen lot of posts of the same issue since 2005 and no one is really giving a relieving answer.
I've checked every single proposal to sort this, but...
It was working perfectly well on my macbook pro, until some months ago, as it was still working with CD,
I said to myself to go ahead with the second computur (i.mac) I have in the office.
While in the middle of recording DVD for my client the SCARY message did appear again once, splitted to another DVD support that did work, than again, errathic for a while, but now nothing else to do, changing DVD brand, cleaning CD, permissions, software updates, burning from another software, burn a disk image from disk utility or whatever was suggested here in these years.
That's two computers bought at the same time with 3 years of work behind and both are getting the DVD lens old already? Isn't this a bit ridiculous for a so expansive brand as apple.
Any other idea I may not have tried?
Cheers
