I CAN'T BURN ANY BLOODY CDS

All of the sudden and out of the blue, I can no longer burn any CD's. I get error messages etc... Can anyone provide an assist? I have reloaded Itunes, changed CD-RW brands, changed the preferences etc....
I am frustrated beyond belief. Help, please!

  • Suddenly I can't burn any tunes to disc.  I receive an error report - 4280.  What's the problem?  It all worked fine last week.

    Suddenly I can't burn any turnes to disc.  I receive an error report - 4280.  What's the problem?  It was all fine last week.

    Additional information: 
    -also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
    -am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago.  Tried another brand also to be safe.  None worked.
    -ran CD/DVD diagnostics within iTunes with Apple Care - no issues apparent
    -also tried write-speed 20X on advice of Apple Care (don't know why they thought 20X would be the magic number after the other 3 I tried didn't work)
    -tried running itunes in another user account on the computer - same problem, same error code
    -Apple suggested it was a copyright issue.  I can't even burn music that I created/recorded myself, so that doesn't make sense.
    -They thought maybe Quicktime wasn't installed properly, so we checked a film in Windows Media - it played, meaning Quicktime was fine apparently. 
    Solution:
    Unclicked CD text option & Sound Check, ran burn from the File drop down menu (max speed) on a Philips CD-R and it worked!  Had been right clicking the playlist name and selecting Burn option from there.  That being said, it did not work on 2 other brands prior, with same settings.  Not sure why.  Just happy it's working again. Is it a brand issue?

    I've got the following problem: I can't burn any dvd or cd. I've already tried with different programs such as Sonic, Nero 7.0, and I Tunes, and I got every time a mistake wich interrupted the burning process before it ends.
    So I don't know what to day ! I've already tried to re install the drivers, but it's didtn't change anything.
    In order to help you, I've saved an error log from nero. I hope it could be helpfull to someone who could help me !

    Hi
    The error log doesnt provide any very useful information.
    According to this error log the simulation was running correct but the burning process was not started.
    In such case its very hard to say why it happens. Possibly the drive is damage and cannot calibrate the lens properly or you use not compatible medias.
    The burning process depands also on the fiels and data which youwant to burn.
    Some data, CD, DVDs are encrypted and its not possible to burn and to copy it.
    In other case you could also try to burn the medias with lower speed and not with 24x.
    But in worth case you the drive has a malfunction and you have to replace it ;(

  • Hi,can I burn my own cds onto itunes?

    Hi,can I burn my own cds onto itunes? please

    You don't "burn" CDs into iTunes.
    You can copy, rip or import the music on a CD into your computer, using iTunes. iTunes will then list all the music you have on your computer.
    It is possible to create a Playlist in iTunes and burn a copy of the music in that Playlist onto a CD.
    So what exactly are you trying to do?

  • I keep getting error 4310 and can't burn any cd's

    I have no idea why all of a sudden I can't burn any cd's.  I continue to get an "error 4310" as it cancels the burn.
    It seems this started after upgrading to Windows 8.1 but I am not sure because now I also tried my Windows Media
    Player and that won't work either...something about codecs.  I am illiterate when it comes to fixing computers but if
    there's a simple fix can someone please help.

    Hey amyroseofclyde,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone is not appearing in iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I can't burn any CDs.  Error 4280.  No solutions found in similar threads yet.

    Hi all,
    I can't seem to burn any of my music (purchased OR ripped from my own CD collection) in iTunes all of a sudden.  It begins the process, then cancels about a minute in and returns an error code of 4280.  I have researched it on the web for a month now, with no success.
    Some say it's a problem with Sony drives.  I don't have a sony drive.
    Some say I need to update my iTunes and/or restart my computer. I have done both - no change.
    Some say I need to decrease the write speed.  I have attempted it at 16X, 8X, and 1X, with no success.
    iTunes CD diagnostics suggested unclicking the CD Text option.  I did.  Still canceled the burn.
    I know the drive recognizes the discs, because if I close iTunes and insert a blank disc, I get the pop-up window with options, and it will play audio and video.
    I'm running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600)
    Drive: Matshita DVD-RAM UJ--845S
    Acer Aspire 5670
    iTunes 10.5.1.42

    Apple Application Support 2.1.5
    iPod Updater Library 10.0d2
    CD Driver 2.2.0.1
    CD Driver DLL 2.1.1.1
    Does anyone have a solution?  Or anything I can try that I haven't already?  I have read over 30 threads now that offer no help, so please, do not repost link to threads as help unless you have read them and have found that they contain suggestions that I have not covered here.  And thank you for taking the time to assist me.

    Additional information: 
    -also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
    -am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago.  Tried another brand also to be safe.  None worked.

Is it a brand issue?

  • Can't burn any DVDs on external firewire drive

    Since I installed OS 10.4.9, neither DVDSP or toast titanium will recognize a "stable connection" to my external firewire lacie recorder... the message I get from toast is:
    1. Interface Error: -50
    The connection is not stable
    2. The drive reported an error:
    SENSE KEY = Illegal request
    SENSE CODE = 0x30, 0x50
    CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM, INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
    And I've been using the same media for years, without a problem.
    But if I connect this device to another laptop or desktop, it'll work fine.
    It still can burn CDs, and read every format. But just can't burn DVDs.
    DVDSP gives me the same problem. I can use my internal burner but it's slower than using my external drive.
    Ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Upgrading to iTunes 7.6 and now can't burn any playlists

    Hi:
    I've finally upgraded to iTunes 7.6 and it now won't let me burn any playlists. When I try, it asks me to insert a blank disc, which I do, it then says checking media and then nothing. I've rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled and still the same issue. Before I upgraded I had no problem burning a cd, plus after upgrading, I've tried to burn other things off of my computer and that all still works. Any suggestions?

    Having the same frustrating problem and have spent hours tryinhg to figure out. E-mail to iTunes support was pretty much useless and they finally advised me to contact an Apple Service Technician. If you find out, please post or let me know [email protected] Staples said for $40 they could fix. Hate to pay it. Thanks.

  • Can't burn any CD/DVD ?

    Hello,
    this is my BIG problem :
    i have a P965 Neo motherboard + Dual Core E6600 + 2x 1GbDDR2 800 Corsair + 1x Seagate SATA II 320Gb + 1x ASUS DVDRW.
    I have BIOS v1.6, and Jmicron v17.08 installed.
    In Bios the IDE/RAID control is set to IDE. The IDE busMaster is set to Enabled.
    The hard is plugged in SATA 1 ( the blue one).
    In control panel the Primary Ide chanel (the hard-disk) is working in UDMA mode 6, and the secondary Ide chanel (the DVDRW) is working in UDMA mode 4.
    When i want to burn any CD or DVD with Nero, Roxio or anything else, i have this nice message :
    DMA driver error. CRC error. Burn failled. ???
    Have someone a clue, because i give up.

    Solved !
    I change the IDE cable with one of 80 wires.
    This is MAGIC !!!
    The 80-conductor cable was first defined with the original Ultra DMA modes 0, 1 and 2, covering transfer speeds up to 33.3 MB/s.
    The cable is considered "optional" for those modes.
    However, for any Ultra DMA modes above mode 2, the 80-conductor cable is mandatory.

  • II can't burn any CD or DVD in my Mac Mini

    Hello, I've had my mac mini (super drive) for a week when I tried to burn a data cd I got the error message "Sense Key=Medium error
    Sense code=0x0C
    Write Error".
    After that:"The Drive Reported an Error
    Sense Key=illegal Request
    Sense Code =0X30,0X05
    Cannot write medium,incopatible format
    After that i tried to burn a cd in Finder but i had this message:
    Disk Unit is not supported.error code"0X80020025
    After rebooting i write the cd,but at the second copy i have the same problem
    Any ideas of what the problem could be? I suspect the drive has gone bad but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. I have tried different types of recordable cd's with the same result. Any help would be appreciated. Desperate!!!
    MAC MINI SUPERDRIVE Mac OS X (10.4)

    I would take it in to a local mac reseller to test it out with different media. There are different types of blank media to write on with different speeds and specs. You could try buying different brands, but probably cheaper to bring it in. If it's a hardware problem, then they can replace it right there. Good luck.

  • Can't burn any discs on iTunes

    I ran the diagnostics for my CD/DVD and this is what came up. I have been unable to burn CDs since upgrading to 7.1. I tried restarting the computer, restarting iTunes, and still nothing is working. Anyone have any ideas?
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
    IBM 2668CTO
    iTunes 7.1.1.5
    CD Driver 2.0.6.1
    CD Driver DLL 2.0.6.2
    LowerFilters: PxHelp20 (2.0.0.0),
    UpperFilters: GEARAspiWDM (2.0.6.1),
    Current user is an administrator.

    CDROM, HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4242N, Bus Type ATA, Bus Address [0,0]
    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.

    Get drive speed succeeded.
    The drive CDR speeds are: 4 10 16 24.
    The drive CDRW speeds are: 4 10.

    ahhhh, she was a ThinkPad T43. thank you kindly. i went to the "Drivers and Downloads" link from the page that was returned to you by your "Detect your System":
    Downloads and drivers: ThinkPad T43 2668-CTO (XP)
    it looks like they have automatic utilities there for checking for updates to your system (which makes sense if she's a Configure-To-Order model).
    Download and install:
    CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, CD-RW/DVD drive firmware update utility (Bootable CD ISO) - ThinkPad General
    Hard drive firmware update utility (Bootable CD ISO) - ThinkPad
    System Update 3.0
    run the utilities to determine if your componentry needs any updates. if there are updates, and you update successfully, is there any improvement to your burning performance?

  • Can't burn any project anymore

    When I hit the "Burn"-button, this text appears:
    "The current state of the project does not comply with the CDDA format.
    Please check the following and try again.
    Each track must be at least 4 seconds long.
    A CD track can consist of up to 98 index points.
    The time between two index points must be at least 1 second long."
    I have never seen this before, and it appears in all my project all of a sudden.
    Anyone?

    Hey Xkitten,
    The tips in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976 may resolve the issue.
