Problems burning a music cd

Hello, I've had my mac mini (combo drive) for 4
months only and I have used it before to burn music
cd's from itunes, however when I recently tried to
burn a music cd again I got the error message "the
attempt to burn a disc failed. The drive failed to
respond properly, unable to recover or retry".
Any ideas of what the problem could be? I suspect the
drive has gone bad but I'm not sure how to
troubleshoot it. I have tried different types of
recordable cd's with the same result. Any help would
be appreciated.
same thing,mac-mini,purchased about 4 months ago.used to burn audio or data fine,now cant burn anything.error-Sense Key=MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code=0x73, 0x03.everything is the same as when it used to work except it doesnt work,i.e. same software same media.i have tried different brands,same result.the same discs work on my pc.it seems a lot of people that purchased a mini about 4 months ago have the same problem,maybe a bad batch of hardware.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

Can Burn Ripped Music, Can't Burn Purchased Music

Help!!
Ever since installing 7.0.2 I can no longer burn purchased music to CD. Music I ripped from my own CDs burns just fine.
Data from desktop burns fine as well as music from other programs such as sonic and Windows Media Player. Actually iTunes worked fine until I upgraded to 7.0.2 from 6
I'm thinking ther must be some kind of problem with the protected MPEG4 that apple is using that is messing up CD burning
I have downloaded latest firmware, updated drivers, re installed IDE/ATA, Reinstalled iTunes, Re installed CD burner, tried every burn speed from fastest down to 1x, Turned off spam & spyware, turned off firewall, turned off virus prtection made, Made sure IMAP CD settings are set to automatic and started.
Nothing works. I'm at my wits end and getting very frustrated because I have hundreds of dollars of purchased music that is now stuck on my computer and won't burn.

I don't understand, we buy this music for a buck a piece, and then when you want to make an mp3 cd to play in your car, like i have( i can make one cd with 150 songs)or what ever , we can't even do that. I also have an ipod but i don't bring it into my car all the time. I thought that because we are buying the music and technically we own them, that we can use the music which ever way that you want. And now we have to buy a converter if we want to make mp3 cd's. I have resorted to spending my money on cd's to make cd's of my protected files, just to rip them back on my computer again as an mp3 song, remove the protected songs, and all this to do what i thought we could do with our purchases music because, oh i don't know, call me crazy, we were able to before!!! All i now see is that we have to spend money to get our music to spend money to change our music to use it the way we want to, to spend our money to make our own cd's. The operative words, spending our money. Does anyone find this absolutely rediculous? Anyone ever hear the phrase "Don't fix it if it ain't broke"? Anyone else frustrated?

Problems Burning in Disc in Encore CS4

Hello all,
I just recently upgraded to Adobe Encore CS4 and I'm trying to burn a blu-ray disc but the program is giving me problems.
All of my video assets are .m2v movie clips, which includes the motion menus I am using, compressed to that format in Sorenson Squeeze.
The first time I tried to burn the disc I received an error before it even started to render the menus. The error was Src\VideoFrameManipulators.cpp-563. I did some searching and decided to import the quicktime movies of the menus and use the quicktimes instead of .m2v files. When I tried to build the project again it got through rendering almost all the menus and then I received this error message Src\pp\\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114].
After that I tried transcoding each menu video separaretly and that did work, I got the same PPixHandleUtilities error again. I tried re-importing the files, relinking the files, etc, nothing is working. I'm at a loss.
I have burned a blu-ray disc already so I don't think it is the drive.
I'm running Windows Vista Business 64-bit as the operating system.
Any thoughts?
Kristin

I too am having problems burning data disks to dvd. While it appeared to burn without problems. It took over an hour sometimes 2 or 3 to burn the dvd which upon completion was not recognized in either my Dell or my Mac. I hooked up my external drive where my music is kept to my Mac and it appears to have burnt correctly readable by both machines and took about ten minutes to burn each dvd. So it appears the Windows version is majorly screwed.

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).

Imac having problems burning CDs

I bought my Imac earlier this year and whenever I have tried burning a disk it keeps coming up saying I can't fit all the images on it.
For example my Imac says a 700mb disk only has 6KB free when empty. This is obviously a problem.
I have tried formatting the CD's and it says 'The disc in this drive can't be erased'.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks,
Tori

How big is the folder of images you're trying to burn? Right click on the folder and select Get Info, in the resulting window look at the size of the folder. Maybe there are just too many images there to fit.
Make sure your optical drive will burn a cd using another method, go into iTunes and burn a music cd to rule out a hardware problem.

Converted vinyl to digital but now when I try to burn the music to a cd it says there is a writing error and kicks out the disc.

Just converted a bunch of my dad's old vinyl to digital via the ion ez vinal converter. However when I went to burn the music, which sound fine over the computer, to a cd it says there is a writing error and kicks out the disc. Can I correct this somehow without having to import these all again?

Update yrou OS to 10.6.8.
The problem is not with iTunes or the file so you won't need to import them again.
Try a different brand of disc.

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

I still can not burn my music ...Not Happy!

I have been there done that and I am getting NO WHERE? I can not burn my music still I have been through several disks, and have tried all trouble shooting suggested by iTunes. I have had my Dell Support tech team run all dianostics , update all my drivers, ect... My other media software burns just fine.
This all started about 1 month ago while I was in the itunes store and received a prompt to upgrade my itunes, I did the upgrade and have not been able to burn "My Music" I bought from itunes. This is a shame that the itune support team can not find a fix to their customers needs! I have spent hours on this problem!!
Does anyone out there know of another Music site that I can join? Make sure to send a support email to the itunes support team... I am going to ask for my money back for my music and move on from this whole apple/itunes BS real soon! There Customer Support is good for nothing and does not seem to care,,,isn't it strange how apple phone support does not support itunes! They are going to lose a lot of customers and money...I don't get it??
Does anyone get it??

Same here. I have a jailbroken iPhone 3G running on 4.0.1 and iTunes 9.2.1 - iTunes tells me the phone is syncing. The phone says "Sync in Progress" but after it is done, zilt! nothing! nada!
Has anyone with the same configs figured out a solution?
Thanks

Burning purchased music loses playlist

when I burn purchased music from itunes, the file info, artist, song name etc is all lost, just track numbers on the new disc...i do not have this problem burning songs I have ripped from cds i own, so settings must be right.
any ideas?
second thing...
I can not convert itunes purchased files to any other format, and the default format being burned my home and car cd player does not recognize...any ideas on that one?
thank you.

rolexman111,
Second thing first:
The iTMS sells copy-protected .m4p files that can only be listened to on an authorized computer.
Furthermore, the files cannot be converted to other formats.
As the previous link suggests, though, what you can do is burn an Audio CD of the purchased music and listen to that CD or use it in any way you would a "normal" CD.
EDIT:
Ooops, I forgot about the first thing ...
What's unusual is that you say you were able to view the song information previously because iTunes does not put that information into burned Audio CD's.
Have a look at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607302&#607302
Is it possible you were burning data CD's previously?
