ITunes Errors 4280 &4450

Hello Apple, is there a solution out there for those of us who can't burn a disc for our playlists without getting the 4280 and/or 4450 error message? I've read all the discussion threads out there and one Apple "document" regarding resolving the 4280 error IF you have a Sony DVD burner - I don't. I have a NEC drive on a Dell Dimension 4700. Is OK if is a recognized problem, by tell me and countless others with the same issue - is there a fix coming??? Thanks.

This is a user-to-user support site, so expecting an Apple employee to answer is futile.
Go to the support site for your PC and update the drivers is the best advice I can give.

Hi,
I have had this problem for over a year and I down to my last nerve. I called Apple, basically got me no where, until I read this problem on another site and I did what it said, and I will be darned if it didn't work!! I am serious, clean your laser lens!!! Apparently it is a reading error because there is probably a smudge or build up on it. I used a eye glass, lint free cloth, but I think they sell ones for computers also.
I really do hope this helps, because I literally just did a happy dance!!!

Itunes error 4280 and 4450

I am incurring the same symptoms as many others have posted about. The playlist is fine, not too long, the songs have never been copied before, and all have either came from ITunes or from a purchased CD. I try to burn the playlist and before it even gets started burning, it cancells due to either 4280 or 4450 "unknown" errors. I have created a few CD's in the past from ITunes so I don't know what to think. Any ideas?

It is hard to credit that you haven't been able to get it fixed.
I had a problem close to 11pm one night and phoned the technical help line and got through in two minutes and got it resolved. I must confess I have never had a problem getting through. Getting the right phone number for the right department can be a bit hit and miss I grant you.
Can you post your speediest results on here please?
Sounds as though

3. Your details aren't in the Nevoss database

I tried my first Windows CD burn with iTunes; the burn fails at different points during the burn, with error codes 4450 or 4280.

I have the same problem, after years of everything working great. Last time this happened I tried using a different brand of CD and it worked, but I must warn you that now iTunes rejects all three brands I have been trying to use.

Burning error 4280 and 4450

Hello!
So I've read all the helpful answers about this, and have tried every fix, but nothing works. Every discussion thread is super old and I wonder if there is anything more up-to-date?
This registry fix... in this thread...last post.... MIGHT be my problem, (and I suspect that it is) but the directions are confusing and don't match my computer's registery or driver details.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/2904875#2904875
If someone can interpret these a little clearer or to match my particular computer it might be helpful. I can provide more info on this if needed.
Some information:
I have a Toshiba laptop with a MATSHITA DVD RAM UJ 850S driver.
(I DO NOT have a Sony driver)
I have the 4280 error. I ALSO have the 4450 error.
It happens every time I burn no matter what brand of disc Im using or speed Im burning at.
Either it will burn a few songs and then cancel, or it will cancel before it starts to burn.
I can burn DVDs with my DVD copying software.
I CANNOT burn CDs with Windows Media Player or Real Player or anything else.
There are no needed updates to my driver. The computer tells me that everything is up-to-date.
I have had this problem for over a year and a half and have not found a fix yet.
Here is the diagnostic and thank you very much for taking the time to help me!

Error 4280 for Matshita UJ-831Da - Burn no longer works w/ iTunes.

23 Dec 07
MY SYSTEM:
Sony laptop
CD/DVD drv = Matshita UJ-831Da
iTunes ver. 7.5.0.20
PROBLEM:
1. Burn quit working when iTunes upgraded to 7.2.
2. I now get Error 4280.
3. The only change was an upgrade to iTunes.
4. No other software, or OS, changed on the system.
5. Burn always worked with old ver. of iTunes.
6. Burn still works with Win Media Player.
7. Burn still works with all other software.
8. iTunes will not upgrade itself now, nor allow "down"grade.
9. Slowing burn speed does not eliminate error 4280.
10. "Run Diagnostics" causes whole system to freeze and crash.
11. Creating new account on system does not eliminate error 4280
12. Creating new account on system does not eliminate freeze / crash.
13. I have credit with iTunes store that cannot be used until fixed.
QUESTION:
This is an Apple iTunes ONLY software problem. What is the fix?
Thanks,

For my Matshita UJ-831Da CD/DVD drive, the driver version showing in device manager is 5.1.2535.0. I just now clicked on "update driver" and the reply was that a newer version could not be found.
But why would doing a "Run Diagnostics" in iTunes now freeze / crash my whole system when it never did before? It only began doing that after it also began failing to burn CDs. Again, the iTunes software is the only software that has ceased to burn CDs.
Several months ago, I finally reached by phone a girl at Apple tech support who first denied there were any known problems. But when I told her that the web was full of thousands of people screaming about this very issue she recanted and admitted that iTunes was having these problems, that they had posted the fix for some of the other CD/DVD drives but not mine. She then said, "but if you pay $35 I'll tell you how to fix it." Absolutely unethical. That's like buying a car then being told that there's now an extra fee for being told how to start it. She may have lied about knowing what the fix is, but either way it's absolutely unethical.
The problem is iTunes. iTunes changed and now won't drive the same current drive it worked with when iTunes accepted my money, in advance, to purchase and burn music at future dates. iTunes should fix the problem.
I'm willing to go through the leg-work, to try all of Apple's instructions here, but Apple also needs to follow through with this.
Thanks again for your help.

I keep getting error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a CD from itunes. It keeps my CD and won't eject it and says "cancelling burn" forever then itunes locks up and my cd is ruined and NO songs on it.

i can't burn cd's in iTunes anymore. I get error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a playlist. Songs from my own cd's, or bought in iTunes (have not burned 7x's as I can't BURN any cd's at all!), Then my cd gets stuck in the drive. and it says "cancelling burn" forever and then itunes freezes up. I have a Dell with Windows 7.
-I've slowed down the burn as slow as it can go
-I have bought 3 different brands of cd's
-i have the latest version of iTunes.
Can someone help me?

I have Windows 7 on a Dell. Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2). Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode. This has worked for me. I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc. These ideas did not work. Compatability mode works.

Trying to burn a playlist in itunes and i get this message at the end 'The attempt to burn a disc failed. An nknown error occurred (4450)'. This is with a new Dell laptop running windows 8. The playlist was 17 songs from cd's and itunes. Any ideas?

try this...
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't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

Hello Sonni,
It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:
Burning disc in iTunes for Windows using a Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX830E model drive fails with 4280 error
http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38101
If this is not the case, use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Equium A60 -199: ITunes and Mat****a UJ-830s (error 4280)

I am unable to burn CD on my notebook. This previously has never been a problem, however recently no matter what type of burn software I use I cannot burn to cd. I am currently using ITunes version 6 and after the cd burning process starts my computer ejects the cd and I get error 4280.
I have read a few different posts on this on other forums which suggest using different CD to re-installing an older version of Itunes ( I am currently using v6), however the most interesting one seemed to come from Hewlett Packard's support site. They suggest opening the cd configuration folder and editing the file gcdrtype.cfg. This was applicable for a certain type of compaq presario desktop pc and goes on to advise to edit a line in the narrative, save and reboot and voila. The problem should be solved. Since I own a Toshiba eqium a60 -199 I wonder if anyone knows of a similar fix/solution to the problem.
I am also intrigued by the following message that Itunes CD diagnostics produces when i run it:
IDE\DiskFUJITSU_MHT2040AT_______________________00 22____, Bus Type ATA, Bus Address [0,0]
IDE\CdRomMAT****A_DVD-RAM_UJ-830S________________1.50____, 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.
Is this the root of my problem? How do I get this update?
If anyone can guide me in the right direction to solving my problem and getting me back to cd burning heaven, I would be most grateful.

Hello
It is always very problematic if you use some, ion my opinion, "exotic" software. I have noticed that most users on this forum use "standard" applications like NERO burning ROM.
If nobody can give you an answer try to contact ITunes support and explain them the situation. They have enough experience with own product. Check also if there is any FAQ page. Sorry but I can not tell you anything that can help.

4. No other software, or OS, changed on the system.
5. Burn always worked with old ver. of iTunes.
6. Burn still works with Win Media Player.
7. Burn still works with all other software.
QUESTION # 1
Does anyone know if there is a fix from Apple for this cd/DVD drive for the latest upgrades of iTunes?
QUESTION # 2
Does anyone know why Apple refuses to address the widespread problem and offer an easy-to-find list of fixes for their own Error 4280?
Thanks,

I'm having the same 4280 issue when trying to burn. What can I do? Here are my CD diagnostics...

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.

Cannot burn CDs or back up iTunes--error #4450

I can't burn CDs or back up iTunes. I keep getting error message 4450 (unspecified error). Does anyone know how to fix this? It sounds like a different problem than the one discussed in the earlier thread.

Same thing here. I was able to burn CDs on Saturday, but not today for some reason. Error 4450. However, I can play the same CD I just tried to burn through Windows Media Player. But iTunes won't recognize the disk when I try to reload it. Looks like Apple really screwed everyone who has a PC on this most recent update. Hmmmm...perhaps that's their way of 'encouraging' people to buy Mac. Maybe Steve Jobs should spend less time hanging out with Bono and more time developing software that actually works.
