Not able to burn discs after itunes upgrade...HELP!

I've never had any issues with burning cds from my Mac and iTunes until yesterday. I've tried two different brands of CD-R discs (HP and Verbatim) and one CD-RW (Fujifilm). The CD-Rs initialize for a minute, then give me the following message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to record or retry." I discussed with another Mac user who said the same thing so she tried CD-RWs and it worked. I burned 10 of the 12 songs successfully-the last two ("Thriller" by MJ and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Benetar if you must know) were of poor quality-cutting in and out, skipping a lot.
Of course, I need to burn 28 by tomorrow morning for a U10 Girls Softball Nationals gift bag...Any assistance or advice is appreciated.
I feel like if I could just uninstall the newest version of iTunes that I'd be okay. Not sure if that is the right path and not sure how to do it.
Thanks!

Me again. Figuring that I probably had too much stuff in my iTunes library taking up space, I went through and trashed a whole bunch of stuff. I emptied the trash, restarted the computer and am still unable to burn CDs. I figure it must be a problem with the latest iTunes update. Can anyone help?

8.2.1 Not able to burn disc.

Since the most recent upgrade I'm unable to burn disc. I've done this before many times and have never had problems, nevertheless I followed these instructions after the first attempt failed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2239
Nothing happens after step 16.
Prior to upgrade I could watch in the "Window Player" what song the system was burning, also the check marks would change to completed status. Now it just sits there with a "Player Window" that reads "Burning Disc ... finishing."
After 3 hours, I clicked the "x" in the window. It then gave a pop-up, "If you stop this disc burn, your disc will not be usable. Are you sure you want to stop?" I clicked yes.
Window reads "Canceling disc burn... this may take a minute or two" after displaying this for an hour, I had to complete a "Forced Quit" on Itunes, though itunes was responding.
I've gone thru this process three times, and all 3 disc are unusable with 0 tracks.
I'm trying to burn 15 songs I purchased today from Itunes with at total time of 1:08:04, 136MB min onto a CD-R 700MB/80MIN disc.
Anyone have a solution? Thanks.

I too am experiencing the same problems as mentioned above but I now am receiving a disc error message of "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media." This now happens whether I try to burn a Cd or try to back-up my purchases.
I have tried to burn a disc via finder first using a Itunes song file and second an Iphoto Jpeg. After both attempts I received this error code: 0x800Z006D I have not been able to find this error code.
Next I tried to put a DVD movie as well as an Apple install disc in my Superdrive. Both times the disc was spat out w/o reading. This also happens if I put in an audio CD. I've tried to install a laser lens cleaner, but this too was spat out.
Enter Utilities and clicked on Console and after I tried to load a DVD movie this message showed up in Console:

I am now on 8.2.1(6) after having burn issues with 8.1
I am lost. Is this a hardware, program, driver issue?

Problems burning discs after Itunes 75 upgrade

I upgraded to itunes 75 and was immediately unable to burn playlists. Has anyone experienced and resolved this problem?
How can I get adn go back to an older itunes version?

i have the same problem im told lowing burn speeds can help, also try making a new playlist to burn, sometimes the list is somehow corrupted. You wont be able to go back to the old i-tunes but its likely to get resolved with the next update.

Smart playlist not showing up on iPhone after iTunes upgrade to 9.1

Hello,
I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 and notice that one of my smart playlists is not longer showing up in my list of playlists. The music is all in there, and the playlist is also listed when I plug my iPhone into my macbook (under Devices). It's just not listed on the iphone itself, so I can't play those songs. What's going on? Has anyone ever seen this before?

It's not as simple as that. I hope Apple fixes this ASAP. I have only 7 playlists I use. I use so few because they are all smart and update automatically. Equally, this problem appeared to pop up just recently, so I don't know what triggered it. I even went so far as to assume that my library was corrupted. Since nothing I tried worked, I tried deleting my library. Headaches!!! I recovered my music, but all my ringtones were gone. So were all the apps that synced to my iPhone (my music goes on my iPod, my apps and data to my iPhone). The apps on the iPhone recovered back to my iTunes library, but ONLY the apps on my iPhone. I had some apps I had paid for that I did not currently use. I guess they are gone. Even after all that, the smart playlist problem persists.
Aaaaanyway, my experience was a little different. Even though I haven't reproduced the behaviour exactly, it is my impression that the last smart playlist modified is the one that doesn't show up on the iPod. As a thought experiment, created a new playlist called Test and duplicated one of my seven playlists. I synced, and the 7th playlist now shows up on my iPod! The 8th one, called Test, only shows on iTunes, but not on my iPod. Since all 7 playlists are now displaying on my iPod, I will leave things alone until Apple fixes this latest unanticpated design characteristic.

This is also my NUMBER 1 complaint about this POS ipod and itunes. I paid my money for songs and have the right to transfer these files to ANY format I choose for personal use. NOT ALL OF WANT TO BUY EVRY F'N ACCESSORY OUT THERE TO PLAY ITUNES IN OUR CARS OR ON HOME STEREOS. WE WANT TO BURN F'N CD'S TO USE IN OUR CARS AND ON OUR HOME STEREOS. Someone needs to correct this issue! I F'N bout the file and didnt pirate the file I have the right to use it in anyway i see fit for personal use! Like a dumb *** I went out and bought three ipods for my whole clan . Only to find the nightmare of having to set up three different libraries. Then the three different music libraries makes it were if one buys a song on itunes you cant move this file to another ipod and play it. Only they can or if you make the mistake and buy a song on a different system it wont transfer to your home itunes library.
AND EVERYONE KNOW THESE PIECES OF **** CRASH AND LOOSE THEIR FILE EVRY OTHER F'N DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My RANT and what a waste of money this hardware and software is. GOD I WISH WINDOWS WOULD COME OUT WITH SOMETHINGS SO I CAN THROW ALL OF THESE IN THE TRASH!!!!!!

Equium U400 is not reading or burning discs

My Equium U400 is not reading or burning discs.
Can anyoe help please ?

Hey,
Ok, your notebook isnt able to read or burn disks but what does this mean exactly?
Is your drive listed in device manager?
=> You could try to remove it and restart your notebook.
Do you see yellow exclamation marks in device manager on ODD?
=> Check the Microsoft Knowledge Base. Its known issue.
Do you get an error message if you try bruning a disk?
=> Try another burning program like CD Burner XP
Have you checked the Toshiba website for a firmware update?
Which OS you are using?
As you can see, a lot of not answered question they would be important to help you.

TS1453 after itunes upgraded to latest 11.0.2.26 apple tv (1st gen)does not show up anywhere in itunes

After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes

I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
Here's the details:
I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return.
Both have latest software downloads.
I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
Have you ever wronged a two year old?
It is NOT pretty.

Many thanks b Noir
This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting GEAR drive is from:

I am not able to burn a CD on Itunes

I am not able to burn a CD on Itunes. When I click burn it opens up the CD drive and I put in a black CD. When it goes back in it shows the computer is reading the disk, but then suddenly stops. No error message, just stops. At that point I did a diagnostics test and the following error appeared. Can anyone help me?
The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive D: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4020B on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.

You need to update your Mac OS X to at least 10.6.8.

Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

"iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

Issues burning discs on iTunes/ error message about burn speed

I've never had problems burning discs on iTunes until today, I tried to burn one of my playlists on a Memorex CD-R.
- The burn seemed to be going OK at first, but the drive started making an obnoxious, loud noise by the 4th song out of 16.
- The progress bar in iTunes then said "burning disc, finalizing" even though the CD had not been finished.
- The drive practically launches the CD out, causing it to drop, rather than ejecting half way and holding it like usual. An error message came up saying something along the lines of, "iTunes cannot burn this CD because the burn speed is too high for the CD drive or media. Lower the burn speed in the burning pane of preferences"
- I tried it again without changing the burn speed (which I suppose was set to maximum) thinking it was something to do with the disc. The same thing happened the second time I tried to burn the disc. The reason I didn't change the burn speed when it asked me to was because I'd never been prompted about the burn speed and I've used the whole stack of these Memorex CD's without problems.
I am trying to figure out where the problem really lies - does this sound like an iTunes issue (which needs an update except that my system does as well), CD issue or a drive issue? Is there a more reasonable burn speed I should try next time?
Any help would be so appreciated, thank you!!

Try a different brand. Highly recommended:
FUJI
TDK
Verbatim
Make sure the CDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.
