I've tried all the fixes I've found... including the one's here. Any advice?

I get the same message but the number is 4000. Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.5 I have been unable to burn CDs. Do you have a solution yet?

TS1436 The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occured (4310)

Trying to burn audio CD for first time using new acer computer with windows 8, and get the following message:
"The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occured (4310)"

same deal.
acer 4752, windows 8 x64, less than 1 year old.. used to burn CD's ok in iTunes but now gets error 4310.
I tried..
lowering the CD write speed (even down to 1x). --> fail. still 4310. I tested the CDR by burning some random files in windows and it worked fine.
using compatibility mode with windows 7 and windows XP. not only did both not help, but XP mode crashed iTunes. --> fail.
giving up and using windows media player. This worked! resolved, yay..

The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

When trying to burn a CD, I'm getting an error that reads:The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error. I experienced this message before and took my Macbook in to the store and the the genius was stumped but when he tried one of his CD's it burned fine to he concluded that the problem was in the CD's NOT the Macbook or program HOWEVER, months later, I'm having the same issue using the NEW CD's. Does anyone have any information about this?

3 methods to fix this:
The first is to reset pram
at boot up hold four keys down till you hear 3 chimes:
command(apple)=option+p+r
release keys and it will now reboot.
The second is to reset nvram
at boot up hold four keys down:
command(apple)+option+o+f
a black screen will appear
now type: reset-nvram
click enter
now type: reset-all
click enter
it will now reboot
The third is to open system preferences.
go to international
under languages: drag any of the other languages to the top, then drag english back to the top.
make sure "order for sorted lists" is set to english
make sure "word break" is set to english(united states, computer)
then restart.
I hope this helps you as it certainly did me. :^)

I am getting an error every time i try to burn a playlist. The error reads The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

Can somebody help me. I used to be able to burn with no problem. But now while finishing discs, I get the following message.
The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

Try a different brand of discs. Try restarting your computer.

"The attempt to burn disc failed."

Hi,
I have an older MBP, from July of the first year they were sold...2006? Can't remember. Anyway. I am running tiger still and everything is up to date. 10.4.11, iTunes 7.6 etc etc....
Anyway. My problem is, I can't get anything to burn!! Extended hardware test does not reveal any problems...
Here is what is happening..
I want to burn music so that I can play it in my car. I had a stack of 2 year old Sony CD-R's that I was using and they were perfectly, except I ran out of them. So I bought the same exact thing again...and iTunes spits out the cd and says "The attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." Ok so I tried another disc. Same issue. Then I went and took one of my brothers 2 year old Sony CD-Rs and it worked perfectly. So I exchanged my new stack of cds for the same thing, same issue and returned them.
Since then I have burned a couple of movie DVDs on Sony DVD-Rs and they work fine. I have even burned data DVDs on Playo DVD-Rs.
This evening I purchased a stack of HP Music CD-Rs and guess what! My computer spit them out and said the same exact error message!!!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Is it a Tiger issue?
It can't be hardware related because I have proven it can burn with no problem (just on older cds). Is it maybe a cd issue? Are newer cds somehow formated in a different way that will not work with my combination of hardware and software?
Maybe I should just spend the $300 and get an ipod adapter installed in my car...
Thanks
Adam

Hi ASal,
If your Optical drive is reading correctly then the report suggests that there is already data on that disc and it cannot be written to again. Needless to say, only a CD/RW can be burned to more than once. Your info suggests that it is definitely a CD-R.
Double click your disc mounted on the desktop and see if there is any data on it. If there is then you cannot burn to it again. (Not without burning the data in "Sessions."-- A CD-R can have multiple burns in different sessions, but it cannot write over the top of already existing data. You will need a CD/RW if you wish to be able to completely erase and write again. See how you go. Hope this helps.
It appears that your profiler is well able to SEE the CD-R, but you still might have CD Burn issues. Have you tried just burning data to a CD-R through the Finder to see if burns successfully..? If it does, then you should be able to burn audio through iTunes too. Make sure youre not trying to fit too much data on the disc too. That is a common error with people...
Make sure the discs you are using are completely blank.
Regards,
Ben.

"The Attempt to burn disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser

I was trying to burn a cd the other day and it failed and this massage came up.
"The attempt to burn disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
does anyone know how to get rid of this or know how to fix it?

In my experience the problem is random. Sometimes I burn with no problem. This morning my first burn worked fine. Then I had 4 failures in a row. Tried changing nothing. Tried changing burn speed. Tried quitting itunes,etc. Nothing always works so I assume that my manipulations are having no effect even though eventually it works. I am now having a sucessful burn. Thank goodness that it does not ruin the blank but it seems to be increasing in frequency. I used to have the problem once and then could burn 4-5 successfully. Now I've had 3 successes our of 8-9 tries.
Why doesn't apple address this problem? I see hundreds of posts with the same problem. Many are archived. Some like this thread claim to answered. But the problem is that, in my experience, the problem comes and goes. Sometimes I have sucess without changing anything after a failure. Today I quit iTunes and when I started it up again it failed once and now its just finished a sucessful burn. I'm burning the same playlist each time of unprotected music but I notice no difference whether I'm burning purchased music, ripped music, downloaded music, aiff, aac, acc protected, mpeg or a mixture of same.
My sucessful burn was at 6X. Now I'm having a sucessful burn at maximum possible (6X takes too long!). Two in row!
I am using tiger 10.4.5 1 ghz powerpc g4 512 mb ddr sdram with about 10 gigs free on the hard drive it that's of any relevance.
Just realized that if I can count to 30 before the intialization goes to writing it is going to fail. So what? I don't know, can't stand the suspense.

The Attempt to burn a disc failed - An Unknown error occured (4201)

Well, what can I say. I love the fact the error message codes written into the software states the unknown error (4201)and yet can we find anywhere in the world a little list of what these error codes mean!? Needless to say if anyine can shed any light on this little gem it would be most welcome.
I'm on a spanking new laptop (Acer 5810TG), Running Vista Home Premuim and this is the error I get when trying to burn discs in itunes.
My previous Acer and Vista never once had a problem.

could you post your DVD/CD diagnostics for us Cadolux?
in iTunes, go "help > run diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics, and paste the complete results into a reply.

The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4310).

This is a fairly brand new Windows 8 laptop with all hardware and most software out of the box. I did have Virtual Clone Drive installed, but I unistalled it to rule it out as a culprit.
Every time I try to burn a disk, it briefly says "Initializing..." then "Cancelling..." then the error in the subject. This happens at every speed (down to 4x), and regardless of audio or MP3 CD option chosen. Below are the diagnostics results.
P.S. I was able to successfully burn an audio CD from Windows Media Player at 24x (I think).

Greetings akite2high,
If you are having an issue with being unable to burn a CD using iTunes on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

The above you are talking about refers to instructions for Snow Leopard (10.6) and you did post in the Snow Leopard forum area.
Your system profile confirms you are actually using Lion (10.7.1). Therefore, you should seach for Lion instructions in the Apple's Knowledge Base or post over in the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion forum area.

CD-R won't burn (unknown error occurred 4450)

I have been having trouble burning CD's for some months now. I know it's not my hard drive because that was just replaced for another reason. It starts to burn the first song and then it cancels the burn saying 'The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4450). I tried reducing the burn speed to as low as 2X, but it doesn't work. Odd thing is, a CD-RW will work, but that doesn't help me as my car stereo won't play that type of media. Help?!?!?! I'm so frustrated. I don't know why this new itunes gives me so many headaches. I keep ruining CD's. It *****!

I'm getting the same error. I've reduced the burn speed, uninstalled and reinstalled, upgraded to latest version, tried different media but no luck.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

I keep getting unknown error occured(4450) when trying to burn a CD, running Windows Vista...any help would be apprciated.

I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4450).
