Getting iTunes Burning Error

First, this is a Windows Vista 64-Bit HP Computer with the latest version and Updates from iTunes.
2nd, I've used iTunes since it was first introduced and consider myself an iTunes expert.
3rd, I've burned discs, CDs and MP3 discs too, for a while. I know exactly what I am doing.
4th, This computer was purchased just in the summer of 2009. It has a 750GB HD, quick processing speeds, memory, etc is all modern.
5th, My CD/DVD burner drive has worked since I bought the computer and this problem is new.
SO... suddenly, when I try to burn any Disc, CD or MP3, I get this error:
"The Attempt to Burn a CD failed. An Unknown Error occured (4261)" Not sure about the 4261 #, but I think that was it.
Here's what I have tried so far:
1 - Update software/firmware for drive. Update completed successfully, issue persists.
2 - Deleted iTunes and QuickTime. Re-installed Both, latest versions for Windows 64-Bit, etc.
3 - Recalibrated disc drive.
4 - Tried LightScribe Discs from TDK, from Memorex (failed and failed)
Switched to different brand of CD-Rs, NON-LightScribe (Failed)

Here is an apple article on that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1374
The easiest things to try are
1) See if you can burn using a different burning program (my PC came with Nero, for example)
2) Use a different brand disc (Maxell instead of Sony, for example)

Getting iTunes sharing error when trying to share iPhoto journals?

I am trying to get information from my iPad onto my macair. I have about 12 iPhoto journals on the iPad I am trying to export to the mac as html files.
I successfully did 3, but now I am getting an iTunes sharing error, it says ''there is not enough space left on this device to share all of the selected items''.
I know the iPad is full and I am trying to move all the files to free up space. My first step was to move the journals then I plan to move all the underlying photos and albums from my recent overseas trip, mostly stored in iPhoto and camera roll.
I have the iPad connected via usb. I would have thought this was a straight data transfer? Or is it using iCloud in some way as I know that is at capacity also.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me... I only had to reset the iTunes cache
1) Open iTunes
2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

Updated iPhone to 1.1.4 now getting iTunes Store error (-9813)

I updated my iPhone to 1.1.4 and after the restore when the iPhone restarts, the connects to iTunes, but an iTunes Store error occurs saying We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. An Unknown Error Has Occurred (-9813). Anyone have any solution?

Hey, I've also tried all of those things and none of them worked for me as well. I called apple tech support (i'm still under warranty) and they sent me an e-mail fixing it and that was all they told me to do and none of it worked. I think it's complete BS considering how much these computers cost. If you find a solution to this please let me know I've been trying to fix this problem for a while now. Thanks!

ITunes Burning Error 4200 - Windows XP

I recently purchased an HPa1130n running iTunes 4.9. It was working fine up until a week ago when I started getting errors that say "cancelling burn... unknown error 4200". I have read a few posts in this forum and would like for someone to help me get my system back up and burning. I've done the obvious (slowing the speed, trying different disks, etc). I've also checked my DMA settings to ensure that they are correct. From what I have read so far, I think iTunes is having trouble communicating with my CD Burner.

(2) New software added
I recently installed NERO then updated to 6.6 trial. I suspect that this has something to do with it as the last time i burned a CD sucessfully was a day before I installed/updated NERO.
(3) I tried to alternatively burn in windows media player and was also unsucessful.
(4) I see a ton of 7 or 8 events ranging from 100, 101, 102, 103 that are related to database engines but nothing related to iTunes. I see two ACEEventLogs from today:
0000000001: 2005-09-03 12:40:07:203 Systemtray cannot start - ACE Runtime not detected

(5) It just got worse. I attempted to burn another disk and now I don't even get the error. When prompted to insert a blank disk and after clicking the burn icon, the top grey screen just blinks "checking media" a bunch of times then it times out. I don't even get to the "preparing to write" stage.
Thanks again!

ITunes Burn Error 4251-NEED HELP!

I am having problems completing a burn with my Itunes playlist that I have created with in my Itunes player; I have set my preferences, set a lower speed, etc. to try to correct this but still get the Error 4251 popup everytime I try to burn. The audio CD will eject after Itunes says CANCELLING BURN-THIS MAY TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO.
If there anyone on here who can help with this, please post a reply.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

ITunes burning error 2131

Well this is now the 2nd time this has occurred for me. Quite frankly it proves what the people said on overclock.net. Running apple products on a PC is a joke. Error after error...on going nuisances. Really I don't know if I can take much more of this. I'd just like to know 2 things in this little rant/question topic. First being what causes this error. Now before you say its my drive giving me the error. Thats wrong as I've burned CD's with other software and I do have the latest firmware updates for my drive (Samsung). Secondly, can WinAmp serve as iTunes for updating iPods as well as installing songs on. If it's as easy as working with iTunes minus the errors and gives better quality (I've heard it does) then I might as well switch. However would I have to have iTunes on my PC at all if I do this?

I downloaded the link you had posted with no success. I was hoping maybe someone could tell me something regarding the info I pasted from the diagnostics test. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Itunes Burn Error Occurred.

Every time I try to burn a CD, it never works. It would start burning the first song, and then suddenly, Itunes would cancel the disk burn and then a little thing would pop up:
"The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occurred (4000)."
Anyone know why this is happening?

Correction: I cannot burn CDs or DVDs of playlists in iTunes 6.0.1. I have no problem burning CDs in other applications and could burn CDs prior to updating to iTunes 6.

Getting Itunes sync errors for no good reason

Have an Ipod classic, 80 Gig and all of a sudden I'm getting the error "attempting to copy to the disk "__" failed. The disk could not be read or written to. Another error was "___ ipod" cannot be synched. The required folder cannot be found. Brought ipod to apple store and they claimed the hard drive was shot so they gave me a new one. Got home, tried to sync the new one with the same results at first. I switched the cord and it was able to sync but stopped at 753 songs and gave error that it was unable to copy songs to disk due to running out of memory. Somebody help me PLEASE!!

If you ever had the Norton firewall even as a demo you may have to use the Norton removal tool which you should find on the Norton site.
I have this link for it ( make sure it is OK for the version you had):
http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039?OpenDo cument&seg=hm&lg=en&ct=us
It's a bit of a sledge hammer to crack a nut. I used it once and had to do a repair install of iTunes to get my CD dives back.
If you haven't tried briefly disabling the Windows firewall as a test, try that. You might need to reenable iTunes.
It is odd if you are an administrator, as according to your diagnostics, iTunes doesn't think you are. Do you have another account you can try using?
