I am not able to burn a CD on Itunes

I am not able to burn a CD on Itunes. When I click burn it opens up the CD drive and I put in a black CD. When it goes back in it shows the computer is reading the disk, but then suddenly stops. No error message, just stops. At that point I did a diagnostics test and the following error appeared. Can anyone help me?
The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive D: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4020B on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.

Try using a different brand of CD.......
Failing that...
Your CD Writer may need servicing/replacing....

I am not able to burn a purchased song to a CD. Any clues?

I am not able to burn a purchased song to a CD. I follow the instructions, and it looks like it will start, but it never happens, it ends after about 20 minutes, saying that an unknown error occurred (4000). Anyone know how to remedy this?

Satellite U200: I am not able to burn DVDs

I have a problem with the burner of DVD :
Since I formated (and then reinstall with recover CD that was with computer at beggining), I am not able to burn DVDs !
How can I do to recover that !!
And also, that's weird, instead of showing one DVD player, there are 2 : One for CD, one for DVD, when it's the same...
I'm able to read DVDs, but I am not able to burn them :(

> And also, that's weird, instead of showing one DVD player, there are 2 : One for CD, one for DVD, when it's the same...
This is very strange its confusing that two ODDs appears in MY Computer
What you could do is to remove the ODD (CD/DVD) drive from the device manager and then to reboot the notebook.
Please check if the CD/DVD would be recognized correctly after the new reinstallation.

IMac G5 not able to burn dual-layer DVDs

My iMac should be able to burn dual-layer DVDs, but it always seems to fail part way. It manages to burn DVDs and CDs fine.
I've read about using compressed air inside the drive to clean it, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.
It's a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846 drive.

Have you tried repairing permission & restarting?
Have you tried a different brand of DVDs?

If your drive needs cleaning, cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

Not able to burn discs after itunes upgrade...HELP!

I've never had any issues with burning cds from my Mac and iTunes until yesterday. I've tried two different brands of CD-R discs (HP and Verbatim) and one CD-RW (Fujifilm). The CD-Rs initialize for a minute, then give me the following message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to record or retry." I discussed with another Mac user who said the same thing so she tried CD-RWs and it worked. I burned 10 of the 12 songs successfully-the last two ("Thriller" by MJ and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Benetar if you must know) were of poor quality-cutting in and out, skipping a lot.
Of course, I need to burn 28 by tomorrow morning for a U10 Girls Softball Nationals gift bag...Any assistance or advice is appreciated.
I feel like if I could just uninstall the newest version of iTunes that I'd be okay. Not sure if that is the right path and not sure how to do it.
Thanks!

Me again. Figuring that I probably had too much stuff in my iTunes library taking up space, I went through and trashed a whole bunch of stuff. I emptied the trash, restarted the computer and am still unable to burn CDs. I figure it must be a problem with the latest iTunes update. Can anyone help?

I am not able to burn DVD on my Satellite A60

Hi!
I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 with a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K13A. And Every time I try to burn a dvd it doesn't work. The drive detects the dvd but I can't burn it. I've tried several burning programs such as Record Now! and Intervideo WinDvD Creator. Do I need to upgrade the burner or something.
And the format of the dvd's are DVD-R, and I checked the manual, and it says I'm able to burn DVD-R.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
On this way it is not easy to say if there is just some small problem or maybe malfunction but according to your description I presume that the drive can read but not write DVD medias. In this case it is really possible that drive is defective.
If you have tested it with different DVD medias and different burning applications I am pretty sure that drive is defective.

Macbook Pro not able to burn from External DVD drive

Hi there,
I just bought a Samsung SE-208DB external drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro 8,1 13inch and at first the drive was detected by my Macbook Pro and I was able ot burn a disk but now when I plug in the device, it powers on for a bit then powers off to were I can't eject the disk anymore.Then sometimes it works just fine. I am using an external USB hub with AC plug power so I am confident power to the USb isn't an issue. I just wanted to know are Macbook Pro known to have issues with external drives?
And for those wondering why I don't just use the internal DVD on my Macbook Pro, I replaced it with an SSD for dedicated Windows 7 operating system.
Any ideas on how to approached this problem? Should I just get another brand of external DVD drive. I know I can't get Apples as for some strange reason, Apple makes those only compatible with Macs that didn't come with DVD drives like the Macbook Air.
Thanks

Ok I solved it.
The problem is that the drive uses too much power from the usb port.
You can use one of those cables with on one end two usb plugs and on the other end a mini usb. Connect the coresponding usb for power to an iphone charger or any 5v/1amp charger.
Or you can do what I did. I used a usb hub. In one usb port I connected my iphone charger and the drive to another usb port on the hub.
I have just burned my first succesful disc.
Regards

Im not able to burn a disc because I keep getting the message that I don't have a disc burner or software. What can I do?

This isn't working for me and I'm so frustrated that I'm just going to log out and try a different route to fix my problem.

Howdy franfalcon66,
If you are having an issue with burning CDs using iTunes on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

No longer able to burn CDs in iTunes 9.2.1.5

I looked at the FAQ, checked everything it suggests including device filters, everything looks good. I can backup iTunes library to CD-R no problem. I can burn audio CD-R with other programs no problem (I used exact audio copy). iTunes detects both audio and MP3 data CDs no problem. I just cannot burn a disc from iTunes. I used to be able to a couple of weeks ago. I still can on a different computer. I get no error messages. When I insert a blank CD-R, the drive reads it for a while, but iTunes never seems to see it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. No change.
I browsed through the forums, didn't find anything that helped.
Any suggestions for anything else to try would be appreciated.

I have cleaned off my hard drive and re installed Windows 7. I downloaded Itunes V 10 and still can not burn a disk. I tunes error msg says Itunes.exe has campatiblity problem with old setting. I have disabled all compatibility settings.
Thanks,
Ralls Hall

8.2.1 Not able to burn disc.

Since the most recent upgrade I'm unable to burn disc. I've done this before many times and have never had problems, nevertheless I followed these instructions after the first attempt failed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2239
Nothing happens after step 16.
Prior to upgrade I could watch in the "Window Player" what song the system was burning, also the check marks would change to completed status. Now it just sits there with a "Player Window" that reads "Burning Disc ... finishing."
After 3 hours, I clicked the "x" in the window. It then gave a pop-up, "If you stop this disc burn, your disc will not be usable. Are you sure you want to stop?" I clicked yes.
Window reads "Canceling disc burn... this may take a minute or two" after displaying this for an hour, I had to complete a "Forced Quit" on Itunes, though itunes was responding.
I've gone thru this process three times, and all 3 disc are unusable with 0 tracks.
I'm trying to burn 15 songs I purchased today from Itunes with at total time of 1:08:04, 136MB min onto a CD-R 700MB/80MIN disc.
Anyone have a solution? Thanks.

I too am experiencing the same problems as mentioned above but I now am receiving a disc error message of "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media." This now happens whether I try to burn a Cd or try to back-up my purchases.
I have tried to burn a disc via finder first using a Itunes song file and second an Iphoto Jpeg. After both attempts I received this error code: 0x800Z006D I have not been able to find this error code.
Next I tried to put a DVD movie as well as an Apple install disc in my Superdrive. Both times the disc was spat out w/o reading. This also happens if I put in an audio CD. I've tried to install a laser lens cleaner, but this too was spat out.
Enter Utilities and clicked on Console and after I tried to load a DVD movie this message showed up in Console:
+2009-07-31 10:21:20.908 DiskImages UI Agent[252] Could not find image named 'background'.+

I am now on 8.2.1(6) after having burn issues with 8.1
I am lost. Is this a hardware, program, driver issue?

Used to be able to burn cds of much larger size

For over a year my wife has been recording cds on her MBP using Audacity for a class she teaches. They are saved as wav files and imported into iTunes where she makes a new playlist and burns to cds to distribute to the students who use them to practice the material recorded. No problem, even with several hundred MB files and around 35 mins recording time. But today (been a month or more since before) we are getting error messages in iTunes saying there is not enough room on the blank disc, do you want to split into multiple discs. This is with only 10 short recordings adding up to about 75 MB. Yet when I try to burn just one short file it works. Has something changed such that the limit has been reduced?
iTunes 10.2.2, OSX 10.6.7, tried on both a mid 2009 MBP 15" 2.4 GHz, and on an iMac 11,3 i3 w/12 GB RAM
Next is Applecare but thot I'd try a quick question here first.
Thank you

Replying to my own post -
I called AppleCare and the guy narrowed it down to the media I was using. Sure enough, I had just bought a 100-pack of Memorex CD-Rs from Office Depot and that was the problem. Went back to Verbatim and no problems now.

External Drive not supported, cant burn CDs, after 10.5.8 update

After having spent just about a month sorting out one massive irritation I now get another one.
My internal drive is not working, (disc stuck inside and I gave up on it almost a year ago. Please don't give any advice on how to get it out, it's a goner OK - not worth the fuss nor the $).
So I bought an external La Cie burner which has worked fine on 10.5.7 for well, almost a year. Since I updated yesterday to 10.5.8 i get a Finder burn message saying the drive is not supported.
What do I do then? I know this must be really easy (I hope). Thanks in advance

Thanks but there is no latest update. The Firmware is vLA00, current.
So what is going on? Why do they do 'up'dates when it's just a downdate fps....
OK rant over. What do I do now? How can I get back to 10.5.7? Should I even'
Help! Thanx in advance.
Oh, by the way. In System Profiler's > disc burning > burn support column it says it does have support
(Generic Drive Support). So why does it say it doesn't support the drive when i try to use it?
