Insert blank disc...when one is already in?

After sucessfully burning a disc. Then attempting to burn another iTunes says to "insert a blank disc". Ejecting the blank disc I have already put in the PC. Then inserting another fresh disc it says "checking media", then nothing happens. I click burn disc againg and it ejects the disc saying again "insert blank disc". AAARRG! Please help! The only solution I have found is to reboot the PC....every time!!
Thanks for any help,

i made a burn folder that has files lower then the
700MB max, and then I insert a blank CD-R and then I
click the burn button in the folder and it says that
I need to insert a blank disc, when one is already in
there. I've tried my whole spindle of CDs, a
different kind of brand of CD, and a CD-RW. I had
already burned 2 before, but I don't understand why
it isn't working anymore. Can anyone help?
Try clicking the burn button first then insert the CD when prompted. OSX should then verify the CD and if it's good start writing your data. I've had the same problem with itunes and found it ofter fails if I put the CD in first so now I always wait till prompted to insert the CD. When I wait till prompted it always works.

My macbook is flashing saying "insert blank disc..." when disc is in computer to burn a cd. Can you help?

Bummer. Could be a problem with the MBP drive. Are you using Re-writable discs maybe?
Check the discs work in your HP machine. They may have burnt but not successfully. Your HP machine may not be able to open them either.
Have you considered using a USB flash device to transfer the photos, or just copy them over your home network? CD is a slow an cumbersome method.

Insert Blank Disc???

I have been having this problem for about 4 months now, since I installed the new version. Nobody has been able to answer this for me & was re-posting this to see if anybody else is having this problem & if it was fixed. I insert a disc to burn & it states 'you have inserted a blank disc', then when I go to burn it states 'please insert blank disc'. Does anybody have an answer for this? I am in desperate need of an answer because I am going crazy! Here is my diagnostic report:

Why do I keep getting a message "insert blank disk" when trying to burn playlist to cd?

Why do I keep getting a message "insert blank disk" when trying to burn playlist to cd? I can import burned cds to iTunes just fine, but cannot burn playlist to disk.

because you have to be using a blank cd-rw or cd-r.

CANT BURN DISC. WHEN INSERTED BLANK DISC i SAID DONT WARN ME AGAIN

When you insert a blank disc it comes up and says you have inserted a blank disc and I said do not warn me again. Since then I am unable to burn an audio CD. It says disc burner or sofware not found. HELP

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

"Please Insert Blank Disc" Issue - I have had an email from Apple Support

Hello Everyone
I posted a message a little while ago about the back-up problem I am having and it looks like there are loads of other i-Pod users having the same issue. This is when i-Tunes keeps on rejecting the blank discs and asking you to insert another blank disc, ultimately meaning that you cannot back-up.
I have emailed Apple support and from the reply I got it looks like Apple know about this issue and are looking for a solution to the problem. I can only assume that this will be fixed in a future update. That said, I hope it is not to long in coming, as I have alot of purchased music not backed up.
If anyone has discovered a way to get around this problem on i-Tunes, please let us know! I know I could back up manually, but that is a real pain, as it takes ages to work out the amount of music that will fit on one CD-R, when i-Tunes normally does this for you!
Over and out!

I was able to select a playlist, such as Purchased, and write it to DVD-R. It puts songs out as m4p files. I have done it (tried it) only once so far. It complained that it might take an hour to finalize the DVD but it only took a few minutes for me (only about 80 songs - sort of waste of a DVD). I think I selected "Burn playlist to disc".
I too had trouble with the backups after moving to 7.3. Worked OK in 7.2.

Insert Blank Disc Error - Can Only Burn to DVD

When attempting to burn a cs through iTunes, I continuosly get an error prompting me to insert a blank disc. The cdrs I'm using are fine and I never had a problem with them before. If I insert a blank dvd, the audio files will copy to the dvd w/o a problem. I also ran the diagnostics and received a 128-error code. Anyone have any ideas?

I can think of one thing that may be helpful. There have been numerous burning problems in the last month since version 7.3 and 7.3.1 were released. I have been told that a new version of Itunes is available for download as of today.
This might have been one of the errors that has been corrrected. Try that first. Download it from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't help, I hope someone else logs on who has more experience with this issue.

I bought Adobe premiere 13 for mac and it says blank disc when I try to upload it. Why? and How do I fix this?

The premiere elements 13 and Photoshop elements 13 for Mac disc reads as blank when inserted for upload. I bought it at Staples. Now it won't upload.
Is there a reason for this? Is it a faulty disc or does it need to be activated somehow?

tarah
Some places sell the product with a redemption code and not the serial number. Then the user has to go through the procedure of getting the serial number from the
redemption code. Another factor is whether or not you purchased a Student Teacher version that may have come with a Product Code.

Are you saying that you insert a disc marked specifically for Premiere Elements 13 Mac installation, and it opens to give you a blank disc?
When you write "for upload", do you mean insert disc for installation?
You can obtain tryout installation files from the following web site and insert your purchased serial number (if that is what you have) into them during installation.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
Just make sure that you carry out the web page's "Note: Very Important Instructions" so that you do not get an Access Denied message.

"Please Insert Blank Disc"

I am receiving this message when trying to create an audio CD. I have a inspiron 1501 using the Samsung TS-L1632H ATA Device burner. Has anyone figured this out yet or is it just SOL until Dell or Apple fix this. Very frustrating.

I was able to select a playlist, such as Purchased, and write it to DVD-R. It puts songs out as m4p files. I have done it (tried it) only once so far. It complained that it might take an hour to finalize the DVD but it only took a few minutes for me (only about 80 songs - sort of waste of a DVD). I think I selected "Burn playlist to disc".
I too had trouble with the backups after moving to 7.3. Worked OK in 7.2.
