Patch for error code 2131 when burning CDs in itunes for Toshiba computers:

Just today, Toshiba posted patch for the infamous "error code 2131" when trying to burn CDs in itunes on many Toshiba laptops. Lucky for me, today was the first time I tried to do so, but I feel for all you other folks who have been very frustrated about this issue. Here is the link to it on the Toshiba support page:

I'm going to install it now and report back if there is anything tricky about it (I read in another forum that someone had already gotten the patch and had posted a link to it at a private website where there were a few different options and you had to figure out which was the right one, but this should be easier and "official")
Hope this helps!

hmmmmm. i'm proceeding under the assumption that you've got a Dell 5150/E510. if i'm wrong about that, please check in with Dell to confirm your model prior to applying any updates.
i had a look at the support site for your model (or at least, what i'm assuming your model is). your firmware appears to be up to date for the HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B that you're getting the error on, but there does seem to be newer firmware available for the SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615. so it might be worth getting that, just in case there some kind of odd interaction happening between the drives.

otherwise, we'd better check on some of the other usual suspects with this sort of thing:

    If you recently installed or updated disc burning software it may be conflicting with iTunes.

    receive error code 2349   when trying to install iTunes.  Any idea what that code means and how to correct?

    It's a better bet with a 2330, but the first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Error code 0X8002006D when burning DVD

    I have been successfully burning 8X DVD-R until I bought a 16X DVD-R.
    I keep getting an error message: error code 0X8002006D when I tried to burn on a 16X DVD-R.
    I had no problems with the 8X DVD-R. Unfortunately, they don't sell 8X DVD-R anymore.
    Help. What do I need to do?

    You're using the Finder to burn?
    A Google search on this error code turns up a lot of
    topics. Some point to the media as the culprit,
    others point to Tiger, some to the drive itself.
    Fuji isn't a bad brand of media, but it's not
    amongst the best, either.
    Generally, an older burner can use 16X media, but
    would obviously only be able to burn at the maximum
    speed of the drive. It's possible that your drive
    doesn't recognize the media code on the disc and
    refuses to burn. Sometimes a firmware update to the
    drive can solve this problem.

  • Error code 0x80092013 when trying to access iTunes store

    I currently have the lastest version of iTunes unstalled on a Windows Vista PC. For a few months now, I get the error code 0x80092013 when trying to connect to the iTunes store or log in to my iTunes account. I have tried to run diagnostics but there is no help availavle because iTunes will not connect to the internet to get the help I need.
    I have scoured the interent for a solution to this problem and have tried everything I have come accross, from re-installing to reading every support page I can find. I am becoming so frustrated trying to fix this problem, it is not my apple ID as my iPad works perfectly fine. If anyone can give me a solution that actually works it would be greatley appreciated

    After some research I found the following tip to be working:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/25038447#25038447
    So I changed my IPv4 as well as IPv6 DNS-Servers under Windows Network Preferences and everything worked again.

  • Error code 0x80070BC9 when trying to install itunes

    I'm getting error code 0x80070BC9 when trying to install iTunes

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80070BC9, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • Error code 50 when copying cd to itunes

    When downloading music from CD to itunes I keep getting error code 50.  My download .tmp folder is empty.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Error codes are really hard to figure out.. but i think it will be due to permissions.
    See http://pondini.org/TM/C10.html
    It is an error from TM but I think it comes from underlying OS..
    Can you copy files to this disk from a source other than the TC.. try copying a file from the TC to the Mac and then from Mac to the external disk.. but make sure it is plugged directly into the mac.. if you have issues look carefully at permission. And format/partition type.. do use GUID partition not MBR Or the older Apple systems.

  • Error Code- 6 When Burning DVDs/ CDs- Any Ideas

    I recently had a problem burning DVDs from iMovie due to an error code- 6 (whatever that is!) I had put this problem to one side for a number of months, on account of the fact I don't burn that many DVDs. I have now found the problem has spread to CDs as well.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this, or is it new drive time?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   1Ghz Power PC

    Hi Skinner,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Firstly you can't burn DVDs from iMovie!
    Under OS 9 Error 6 was an overflow error, although I can't confirm its the same under OS X it sounds like it could be a buffer overflow issue in iDVD. This would mean that the computer cannot supply the data to the drive quickly enough. Try the following things (which admittedly are undesirable but may be neccesary):
    Close down all Applications not directly involved in what you're doing to free up processor time and memory.
    Burn at a lower speed (choose 1x or 2x rather than 4 x).
    Try different media those PC World branded disc may not be as good as a Verbatim.
    Hope this helps

  • Error code 4000 when burning

  • Error Code: 0x8002006D Problems burning CDs

    I have encountered problems in recent days reading my archive CDs and now I'm having problems burning them. I use good quality IMATION 700Mb CD-Rs and have never had any problem with these before. The CD to be burned loads OK and I can copy the files across OK but when it comes to burning (using the preinstalled burn software) it seems to rush through the files too quickly, then it starts the burn process bar at the top but after a few seconds reports the Error Code 0x8002006D and states that CD can't be written.
    I have used a lens cleaner in the last couple of days in the hope that would work but with no luck. Any ideas would be most welcome.

    A shelf above a radiator is a definite no-no for data discs, where losing a handful of bits can ruin the data beyond the built-in error correction encoding's ability to recover. Music CDs are more forgiving since you can actually lose quite a few bits and the human brain will compensate by filling in for the missing sounds.
    The amount of data being burned shouldn't matter, provided you have enough free space on the hard drive for creation of the temporary invisible scratch file used during burning. A good rule-of-thumb is to maintain at least as much free space as the media to which you're copying data, plus 300 to 500 MB for the Unix swap files in /private/var/vm. For a DVD-burner equipped Mac, you'd want to keep 5 GB or more free space on the hard drive; for a CD-R burner only Mac, you can get as low as around 1.5 GB (in theory --- I'd go with the 5 GB rule of thumb anyway).

  • Cd/DVD not burning.  Error Code 0x8002006E when burning DVD's

    I have a MacBook Black and am trying to burn cd's and dvd's. I have tried multiple brands of DVD and CD and can get the cd's to burn once in a while with a microboards printable cd. When they don't burn I get either an error saying something about not being able to calibrate laser power, or it goes through like it's burning and shows up on the desktop, but when I go to open the disk, there is nothing on it. DVD's never finish, giving me the error code 0x8002006E. It will also not read any DVDr's on the machine. Stamped DVD's (store bought)are fine, but multiple brands of DVDr will not read. All of the burned DVD's I have are personal movies and music videos that I made on the machine. Anyone have any suggestions? Is my superdrive toast?

    You can check in system profile and select disc burning to verify what cd/dvds are readable by your superdrive....Also with that error message you can try removing any extra ram chip installed, with that model powerbook it also has onboard ram built into logic...being a disc reading problem id say its the superdrive itself, you can try cleaning the lens with those cleaning discs you buy from electronic stores..Burn disc whilst running on power adaptor and not battery...
    just a few things to try might help you

  • Error code 0x80020042 when burning DVD

    I recently updated my 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857 Superdrive to Mac OS X (10.5.6) and installed the latest updates.
    Since updating I have not been able to use Burn to burn DVDs. I get the following error - Burning "xxx" failed because the disc cannot be written to. (Error code 0x80020042). I have successfully used these DVDs before the upgrade. The DVDs that I am using are TDK double layer DVD +R (Item code: DVD+R85AA).
    Can anyone suggest a fix.

    I have used cleaning kit from an audio/video store. It's basically a CD with a pair of brushes underneath. It has restored a failing optical drive in my tray-loading eMac several times.
    But I have heard that these kind of kits aren't so good in slot loading laptops, because there is a chance of them getting stuck inside. I suggest contacting a local Apple certified service shop and seeing what they recommend.
