My mackbook wont burn cd's....

Ok So i Have Macbook.. not really sure which version.. Not too into all the nerdy stuff.. ( no offense) the problem is that it won't burn CD's.. I don't know if it is the itunes version or if it's the computer.. can anyone help me please?

Do you get an error message when you attempt to burn the disc? Exactly what happens? And have you attempted to burn in the Finder and not in iTunes? (Attempt to narrow down if it's an iTunes issue or an issue with your burner.)

my super drive wont burn dvd . and i get an error : sense key medium error sense code =0x73,0x03 for cd it work fine and read dvd ok just wont burn dvd of any kind tryed differrent makes but no result .. help pls

Hi and welcome to the discussions!
Google is your friend...
I found this on a Roxio forum, but it offers the best advice I have seen anywhere about this error.
Basically, it is most likely the media or the speed you are trying to burn at. It could be a few other things, but those are the most likely culprits.

Dvd wont burn movie all the way

The dvd is 4.7 GB and the movie is 4.1 the dvd wont burn the whole movie it stops a little before the movie is over. HOw do we burn a long movie onto dvd?

What is the total playing time of your movie? iDVD 5 has a 120 minute limit, including menus, in the Best Quality setting or a 60 minute limit in the Best Performance setting. The size of the files is not the determining factor, just the playing time.

HT1645 I have changed the encoder preference to all the different settings but it still wont burn my cd! What should I try next?!

What should I try next? I have a movie in iDVD all set up to go and it keeps telling me that there is an encoding error, so I have changed it to all three settings but it still wont burn and shows me the same error.

Hi
• Delete iDVD pref. file
iDVDpref. file resides.----> Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iDVD.plist
com.apple.iDVDApp.plist (may be ? - not sure this exist)
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
But there are better ways to do this - but as I'm only in Mac OS X.6.? - I have no hand on know how - but the above way works if carefully done.

Since I had a problem of booting so that I reconstructed library by using option start. However I cannot back up the library images to DVD now.

My imac keeps ejecting my discs, wont burn anything either

my imac keeps ejecting my discs, wont burn anything either

Are these CDs? DVDs? or both?
Have you tried using a different brand of disks? Some work better than others.
Does it eject all disks or only some? Only blank disks or some that have already been made? Commercial disks or burned?

Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Itunes wont burn my CD disc error 4280?

I have a toshiba satellite computer running windows 7 and itunes 11. It wont let me burn my playlist to a disk. Im using memorex CD-R blank cd. I have tried every disc write speed and nothing worked and ran diagnostics everything checks out. Can someone help me?

I tried the same thing on an HP Touchsmart, using Windows 7. I highlight songs in my iTunes music library and create a new playlist. I right-click on the playlist and start the burning process. I am prompted to put a blank disc in the drive, which I do. Then I have two more prompts, which ask me about the format of the content I wish to create. Once that's done, the burning starts.
It seems that for every playlist I burn, I ruin one disc. It seems that either at the beginning or at the end of the burning process that an error occurs and burning is cancelled. This is very frustrating.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Purchased songs wont burn to CD

I purchased songs on iTunes and try to burn to CD. It says the songs wont fit on a CD. They are in an ACC file mode and I can't burn in MP3 mode. Can I change the format of the songs?

I tried burning songs purchased from iTunes onto a MP3 CD. I received the message that 27 of the songs (all purchased from iTunes) couldn't burn because they are in AAC format. A friend said to click Advanced and click the option to convert to MP3. Under Advanced, all I found was an option to convert to AAC. The songs are already in ACC! How do I convert these songs to MP3 so I can burn an MP3 CD? Any help is much appreciated!
