ITunes killed my burner! Any solutions?

I upgraded to iTunes 8.0.2 and now cannot burn a disc. Unfortunately now I cannot seem to burn ANYTHING with ANY software.
In iTunes, the disc spins up to burn, but it jumps straight from the first track to "Finishing Disc Burn" and hangs there indefinitely. Nothing is ever written to disc, and short of using the drutil in Terminal, you have to restart to eject the tray. When using toast, I get a drive read error, whether it be attempting to burn an audio CD or a DVD-video.
Does anybody have or know about a solution??
Having read many of the threads, I know this is a widespread issue. I have tried repairing disk permissions (duh), doing a pram reset, removing the plist files, all to no avail.
This reminds me of not too long ago when an airport update completely screwed up my machine's ability to receive ANY wireless signal, thanks Apple. It seems that this iTunes issue would be easy enough to detect before releasing it, many of us have not been able to burn since literally the MOMENT after installation.
Can anyone help??

Update: I was able to burn a CD in iTunes but ONLY at 6x speed. Though this is a good sign, it's still annoying to be only using a small percentage of the drive's capability. Any insights are much appreciated.

What operating system does your computer have?

My ITunes is acting odd. I have to click on the tabs (ie Music) on the left a bunch of times in order to get to the screen. Also, I can't edit track names by double clicking on them. I downloaded the new ITunes as well. Any solutions? Thanks.

Hey rebelist45!
You can use the Search field in iOS 7 to find out if your apps are installed on your phone somewhere that maybe you haven't noticed, and I have linked some information about that right here:
Search - iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3c511548
If the apps are not installed on your phone, you can always reinstall them by following the directions in this article:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Now, regarding the iTunes loading: if you are speaking of iTunes not being able to launch on your computer, then you will want to see this article:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
But if iTunes is unable to launch on your iPhone, you may need to restore your phone according to the instructions in this article:

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.

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.
-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 couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I am in the same boat. I tried repeatedly to contact iTunes support, but was told each time that I had contacted the wrong deaprtment and they could not help me. There must be a way to still be able to use the iTunes store without paying for a system update. If not, I hope they will reimburse me the money I have in my acount.

I am having the same problem (lost in back-up purgatory) on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad2. I am running Windows XP.
I have tried everything I've seen suggested on various support communities, with no success.
I have gotten used to having to find a windows workaround everytime Apple updates iTunes, and this time it is especially frustrating.
I don't have any solutions, and I am responding to all of these types of messages in hopes of finding something that will work for me.
One person was able to work through it by deleting all of the previous iTunes backup files. I'm trying that now. 4 hours into it, and it does not seem to be working......

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

Windows 7 64 bit laptop crashes everytime ipad is synced to itunes 10.6.1. Any solutions?

I have a new ipad 4 and I have a windows 7 64 bit laptop having itunes 10.6.1. When I try to synch music or photos, the laptop crashes abruptly.
I reinstalled itunes, but that didn't help either. Any solutions?

HI,
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The above error says Presentation services not running.
Using this command you can check:
Open --> Run--> Cd OBIEE_Home\Instance/Intstace / bin> opmnctl status
Try to stop services and again restart the all services.
stop the all services = opmnctl stop all
Start the services = opmnctl start all
I guess you installation not done completely.
Please refer the below link try to install freshly.

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.
