Itunes gives needs to close Windows message when trying to Burn DVD or Sync

I have a 60G Video Ipod
I right click on the my playlist and select Burn Playlist to Disc. It then asks if I want to do a data DVD, I click yes and then it starts checking Playlist. When the bar almost reaches the end the windows message pops up and Itunes closes.
The same error box pops up when I connect my Ipod and it starts to update the Ipod.
I can play music with Itunes without any issues until I either want to burn a dvd or connect the Ipod.
I have reisntalled Itunes from the original CD after removing Itunes, Ipod updater and quicktime from Add/remove programs. I have upgraded a few times and the issue still persists. The issue initially started when in version 6.0.2 which was a known issue and the fix was to go to version 6.0.3.
Is there other lcoations that have files, that add/remove doesn't remove? I cannot see how unistalling and reinstaling from the CD would not correct the issue.
I have windows XP Media Edition and do not have dual core processors but do have hyperthreading.

Hey there Nezzinton,
It sounds like your iTunes application is quitting when you try to use it, or it quits when you try to sync your device to it. If the former, use this article:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
If the latter, use the troubleshooting in the following article:

What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
"not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
Any suggestions?

iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive. How much free space do you have?

Error message when trying to burn DVD+R DL

I am trying to burn a 6GB project onto a DVD+R DL for the first time. The burning process runs through 100% then I get a blank DVD and an error message that says... "Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed, please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition." I'm not quite sure what this means. Any advice?

Welcome to the Boards (Search seems to be gone, urgh, because I had a post I usually point to, bummer)
1.) In a DL disc Layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1
2.) A marker needs to be placed as a Layer Break in the project to indicate the layers.
3.) The marker will be right around the 1/2 point of the disc (give or take)
4.) Find the place which is about 1/2 way and put a few markers in there
5.) Build the DVD to the HD then select format. If there is a suitable layer break marker it will be black otherwise it will be gray. Sometimes finding the right place for the marker with hunting and pecking
I will dig up some more info

Multiplexer error message when trying to burn DVD in iDVD

When I try to burn a DVD in iDVD, at the end of the burning process, I get a message that reads "Multiplexer Error" "There was an error during formatting".
Can anyone out there give me advice on how to remedy this?
Thanks!

When iDVD isn't functioning correctly, a basic maintenance procedure to try is:
1) Closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences.
2) Doing a permissions repair using the Disk Utilities app on your Mac.
Instead of burning directly from iDVD, try saving as a disk image (an option in the iDVD File menu). This will take a while as the encoding is redone. If you get a successful disk image, open it in your DVD Player app to check it out. If all O.K. burn it at a burn speed of 4x or less with Disk Utility to a DVD-R disk of good quality, like Verbatim or HP. On my computer, Disk Utility defaults to 4x burn speed, which is good.
See if any of the above helps.

Error Message when trying to Burn DVD?

In the completion stage of the DVD burn of a slide show in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.- "Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure". Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Previously i have burned a slide show successfully. Now, after 2 trys for this equivalant slide show, I receive this same error message both times. I have a Vista Ultimate system that has 584 GB free space and 334 used space.

Since I posted last, I came across the following link over at the Encore Forum. There the user could not update the burner firmware and found that the disc brand made the difference between failure and success. Imation and Memorex discs worked, whereas Verbatim did not.
So, I stand corrected on focusing in on the "RAM Failure" portion of your error message. But, I am looking forward to further details of your Break Apart Slideshow failure. I have come across at least one case where RAM issue impacted that even when you used the right Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor Output option.

I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

What can I do to fix an old Power Mac G4 that gives an I/O error message when trying to access Entourage?

What can I do to fix an ld Power Mac G4 that gives an I/O error message when trying to access Entourage?

You mean when you try to just start it?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Hello, cinemann,
Welcome to the discussions.

Error when trying to burn DVD

Hi
I get this error (repeatedly) when trying to burn DVD recently.
Error code 0x80020022
Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
It's self explanatory I know, but what am I supposed to do about it? Is it a problem with my hardware?. I can't see the icon for my disc drive in Disc Utility to check it.
I've shut down and restarted, tried different DVDs, they're all DVD-R although I did try at first with a DVD +RW and hope this hasn't caused some damage.
Hope someone can help thanks.
I'm having loads of problems creating iDVDs as well. But I think I need to resolve issues one at a time....
Helen

Hi Helen - here are some general purpose iDVD tips that may address some of your unspecified troubles. In terms of communication troubles, could your hard drive be going to sleep, or screensaver kick in and interrupt the process?
General tips:
Do something small first; get some experience before you need to do a big project.
Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of space on the hard drive for scratch space.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Give yourself lots of time.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor and Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image .img file (patchburn for iDVD 4 and older) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x) and let it cool down.
I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
Try testers; you can use DVD-RW
I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
No other apps open.
Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs. Don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

Thanks for replying. I went to the store and bought CD's and DVD's of different brands, many of which I have used in the past. All but a couple of them worked. Maxell, Memorex, Verbatim and Sony did not work.
After several long discussions with AppleCare and some tests, they finally determined that the Superdrive needs to be replaced. So, I'm off to the Apple Store.
Thanks again!

HT203164 Itunes destroyed my ipod (wiped it out and rendered it useless) and now i keep getting a cancelling burn message when trying to burn a cd.

I've tried restarting the IMAPI cd burning service, different playlists, and blank cds. I'm frustrated. Can anyone help? I'm running Windows XP.

Hello there,
It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc using Windows XP. You started with the troubleshooting I would have as well. Next try these steps from the article named:
iTunes 11 for Windows: If you have trouble burning a disc
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12349
If CD burning stops at a particular song, the playlist might include iTunes Store purchases that haven’t beenauthorized to play on this computer. To authorize this computer, double-click the purchased song (where CD burning stopped) and enter the information for the account that purchased the song. You can authorize up to five computers at a time. For more information, see Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases.
Use Windows Update to make sure you have the latest Service Pack for your computer installed.
Check your computer or drive manufacturer’s site for firmware updates and install any that are appropriate for your computer and CD or DVD drive.
Try using a different brand of media or a different type of disc (for example, CD-RW instead of CD-R).
Try choosing a lower burn speed.
If the issue persists after these things have been checked, I would next try unisntalling iTunes altogether, along with its associated apps and then re install it with this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP

Error Message when trying to burn CD from Playlist

Never had this problem before, but when I try to burn a playlist, I get the error message "there is a file whose file is bigger than that of a blank CD. You need to insert a blank DVD." Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for your reply, but that was not the case. I closed out Itunes and and reopened it and the exact same playlist burned with no problem. So it could not have been a file was too large. Again thanks

Error Message When Trying to Burn Pics to a CD

I'm trying to burn pictures to a DVD. I have the ones I want highlighted, I then click "Burn", and it gives me the following error message:
"Incomplete Disc Name
Please enter a name for the disc"
A name automatically populates in the "Name" field ... I've left the name as it is, I've tried to change it, I've taken numbers out, I've taken any special characters out, and I've even tried to leave it blank. Still get the error message.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks for your help!

Try the basic fix: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
