Getting (4280) in Windows 7 with a Sony Aw-Q170a Drive?

I finally fixed my burning error in Windows 7 with my Sony Aw-Q170a burner.
After being frustrated with 4280 message after another in iTunes, I tried burning in WMP and it was not finishing there as well.
After hours of searching on the web, I finally found a Firmware update for my drive. Then it all made sense. I had no prior burn errors with iTunes with the same drive in Vista, however Windows 7 and my Sony drive were not playing nice even though the device manager showed no error.
So this fix is for users of
Sony Aw-Q170a
Firmware: 1.72
Solution
Upgrade to Firmware Ver:1.74
Firmware Location:
http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/288727/sony-aw-q170a-(p-ata)-dvd-rw-firmware-1.74-free-download.html
Simply extract the file and launch the firmware update file, and it will verify all the information and ask if you want to flash. Follow all the instructions, (like removing dics, and closing all other programs) and it will ask you to power off.
Once you power cycle, and launch Windows 7 you will notice the OS will re-recognize the drive and say it installed correctly.
Now you can burn cd's again.
To verify simply right click on Computer from the Start menu, then select *Device Manager* on the left side below Control Panel Home.
Expand the *DVD/CD-Rom Drives* listing, and *Right Click* your *Sony Aw-Q170A drive*, then Select Properties.
Click on the Tab to the far right named Details, from the Property drop down list *Select Hardware Ids*.
The Value windows below should list 1.74 after your drive.

Would love to know if this is possible. Found forums dating back years asking exactly the same thing, no solutions. And I do not want to change my headset (Sennheiser MM-50), or use the onboard mic (which sounds like you are using your Mac in a wind tunnel once the fans kick in).

While using Firefox, I keep getting a new window opening with the comment, Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/:þê+ìñLáR¸=%1AÞÀšlÀ£µSëä85r%1EI:U%0EÐL Vbj¨×mb¾Lvø5%13›H., how can I get rid of this file?

I can delete this window, but it keeps recurring, sometimes within 5 - 10 seconds.

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Thank you for your responses guys!
This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes. I can give more info if you need it.

Bluescreen on windows startup with external usb 3.0 drive

Hi Community,
I recently bought an internal SATA III ssd and a SATA to usb 3.0 adapter, so i can use it as an external drive.
I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on that drive, so I can boot from my iMac.
I used this step by step guide: http://bleeptobleep.blogspot.fr/2013/02/mac-install-windows-7-or-8-on-external.h tml
The steps to create the partitions and apply the installation image all worked very well, but when i plug in the usb drive and select the windows installation after holding [ALT] on startup, the windows logo animation starts and after 2 seconds a bluescreen appears and the iMac restarts using MacOSX .
My specs:
iMac 27inch, Late 2012
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
The windows 7 installation i want to deploy is 64bits and the PC i used for this is 64bits windows 7 too.
SSD is 250GB Samsung 840 series
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks ,
user9to7

[UPDATE]:
I tried to boot it from a windows 7 64bit PC. It also crashed there in exactly the same way.
So i think you'll probably need more information about how I installed windows 7:
1) Create 2 partitions: FAT32(350MB, active) and NTFS(remaining disk space)
2) Apply Windows 7 install.wim to partition using x86 version of imagex.exe in WaikTools.
3) Install boot manager with bcdboot on FAT32 partition
4) Done.
But what did I do wrong?
Thanks ,

Installing windows 7 with usb 3 external disk drive crashes

So I was trying to install my windows 7 64bit onto my macbook pro. I bought an external Samsung CD/DVD RW drive to load the windows disk. However, halfway through the windows 7 install, it freezes at 65%. The most I could gather is that windows 7 doesn't have the drivers for the USB 3 ports on my mac, and therefore can't find the windows disk mid-install. Is there a way around this, maybe turning off the USB 3 abilities in some way?

nevermind turns out the install disk was flawed

External edit with PSE 12? I get an empty window.

I am running Aperture 3.5.1 in current version of Mavericks on a MAcBook Pro. I am trying to use PSE 12 as an external editor to resize, merge and some other stuff I want to do prior to printing on an Epson 3880.
When I try to send a file to PSE by Photos>Edit with PSE 12, an empty window opens in PSE. There is nothing in the Photo Bin.
What am I doing wrong or is this not possible to do without exporting a TIFF to my desktop, etc.?
FYI, I am checking PSE out with their 30 day demo version, if this makes any difference.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for your suggestions, but, again as with Kirby's comments, my settings are exactly as you have suggested. I did confirm that my files were editable in Aperture.
Just to make sure: When you have a file open in Aperture and you choose "Edit with PSE 12", does that file open in a PSE window? (I get a PSE window but with no content.)
I'm going to see if I can get any info from Adobe.
Keep those suggestions coming, folks!
I just realized I am selecting an alias for PSE and I haven't confirmed that, as you suggest in another posting, that I haven't dived deep enough.
I'll report back momentarily.
LEONIE, YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. ONCE I DUG INTO THE SUPPORT FOLDER, I FOUND THE APP, NOT AN ALIAS, SELECTED IT AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING PERFECTLY!!!!
MANY THANKS!

I just started getting a new window opening upon each fresh opening of Firefox even though I closed it on the last shutdown and each time the website that opens is different.

I usually leave several tabs and 1-3 windows open on shut down of Firefox so that I can have access to those sites when I restart Firefox. Recently I started getting an extra window opening when I start up with a website opening that I've never been to or am aware of. Each time I close that window out but it returns the next time with a different website usually trying to sell me something. Please help me get rid of this annoying encroachment.
Thanks,
Lucky

Hi luckygriffen-
If you are getting repeated unwanted windows opening with advertisements on them, it is likely you have some malware installed. This Support article will help you identify and resolve malware issues:

Why can't my new Macbook Pro not see individual MTS files on the sony cx700 flash drive? How do I get AVCHD MTS files off the camera not using imovie or FCP?

Hi,
I bought a new MacBook Pro (OS X version 10.8) recently to replace an older version. I work with different Sony cameras (Hard drive and flash drive storage), but when I connect the cameras (Sony Cx560, 700 and XR520) to the Mac it only shows an AVCHD icon. Usually you can see the individual files. We have 3 Macbook Pro's here and on 2 of them it works. Is there a setting or a driver I need to download for this new Mac? The other ones read it without intsalling anything.
Thanks for any tips.

There are two (and probably more than two) third party apps that will do this.
1) ClipWrap
2) Voltaic

In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I bring up my Mozillafirefox, all I get is a window with a blank white screen, (and the firefox logo). (After using Firefox very happily for over a year, I had to 'reinstall' Firefox 3.66 about a month and a half ago, (and lost all my bookmarks as a result therein), and hope I can get my firefox back this time without having to reinstall. Mozilla Firefox is still listed as one of my active programs). HELP! Is there a way to get my firefox back without reinstalling? Many thanks!

Why does Firefox not acknowledge that I have Silverlight already installed. When trying to work with "Getting Started" in Windows 7, it keeps telling me I have to download Silverlight to view this information.

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7 OS. When trying to learn the transition experience from Windows XP to this new OS version, I was presented with this problem of going around in circles.
When trying to view "Discover Windows 7" via "Start>Getting Started>Discover Windows 7", a Microsoft website opens to; (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/videos/personalizing-your-pc). It tells me; To view this contents, please install Microsoft Silverlight. Once I install it and get back to this page, I get the same message. I can not view any of the help content before installing Microsoft Silverlight. So now it is a never ending "CIRCLE of LIGHT"! Is this a problem with my Firefox or with Windows Microsoft 7?

I'm not seeing the Silverlight plugin in your More system details list, so Firefox doesn't find it if you have it.
I assume that you also do not see it in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins ?

I can no longer edit song and album information in iTunes. I right click on the album, the window opens with "get info", "rating", etc., but none of it operates. What did I change to make it stop working?

I can no longer edit album or song information in iTunes. I right-click on the album (or song), and the window opens with "get info", "rating", etc., but none of it operates. It won't get or save album art, anything. What have I changed to make it all stop working?

You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.
