can anyone help ?

Hi,
I have had this problem for over a year and I down to my last nerve.  I called Apple, basically got me no where, until I read this problem on another site and I did what it said, and I will be darned if it didn't work!!  I am serious, clean your laser lens!!!  Apparently it is a reading error because there is probably a smudge or build up on it.  I used a eye glass, lint free cloth, but I think they sell ones for computers also. 
I really do hope this helps, because I literally just did a happy dance!!!

  • Getting errors trying to burn a CD Error 4280

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I have never had issues before but in the last few days it has been HORRIBLE.
    I have brand new CDs to burn to and sometimes I get an error to insert a blank disc(how can it not be it is brand new)
    Other times I try to burn a disc and get:
    "the attempt to burn a disc failed an unknown error occured(4280)
    I have deauthorized and reauthorized my PC. Some of the songs I am burning are ones I loaded from a CD that I had burned one before with NO problems.
    I have wasted at least 10 CDs in the last few days trying to get this to work.
    I have checked EVERYWHERE for a list of Error Code numbers but I can find it anywhere.
    It will check playlist then start to "write" a song and it stops.
    ANY help would be appreciated I am seriously losing my mind!!
    I made sure I had the latest version of ITunes and upgraded last night.
    I was able to burn one this AM and then the next one the errors happened again.
    Emily

    I have seen a lot of fixes that ask if my drive is
    Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX830E model drive
    It is not when I did the diagnostic to figure out my drive I get this(and I have tried burning as low as 4X
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4280(0x000010b8). It happened on drive F: PHILIPS CDD4851 CD-R/RW on CDR media at speed 8X.
    Is there ANYONE that can help or at least point me in the correct direction
    Thank you

  • Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?

    Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?
    sometimes it will say checking media, then it will do nothing!

    Look around for more posts about this. There are TONS. I'm guessing you have upgraded to the newest Itunes. Which apparently makes you CD burning fail! Itunes needs to fix this problem but so far they haven't. I think there are little things that you can do to maybe fix it but I'm not sure so look around for other posts about this same kind of thing, anything along the lines of CD's not burning and error 4280. I wasted 5 CD's trying to get past this error thinking it was my CD's fault.

  • I have Windows XP, and when trying to burn an iTunes playlist to an Audio CD, I get a message saying "Disc burner or Software not found". I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes, but I still can't burn to disc. Any suggestions?

  • Burned CD yesterday, can not burn today.  Error 4280 - Windows Vista

    Yesterday, I bought a number of tracks and albums from the iTunes store. Before I purchased them, I created a test CD with some tracks I already ripped from CDs I own. I burned this CD through iTunes. All seemed well.
    I bought my music. After, I also backed up my purchases using iTunes. Still, all seemed well.
    Today, I tried to create audio CD with the tracks I purchased from the iTunes store. It did not work.
    It seems that the error (4280) comes up a lot, but in relation to Sony drives. My drive is not made by Sony.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

    what has been working for folks with the 2380s on 64-bit systems (it can hit XP too) has been reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing.
    GEAR drivers are available from the following page. (note that there are two different 64-bit versions. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware.)

  • CD Burn Fail. Error 4280

    The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occured. 4280
    How do I fix this? What does it mean? Diagnostics is able to read and report the drive and error. (Mashita UJ840D)

    Maybe I did figure it out afterall - I tried removing a couple tracks from my playlist - ones I had burned to disc earlier - and the burn went through without a hitch.
    Apparently now you can burn an iTune only once - unless you pay the extra 30 cents or so per song - for unlimited burn rights.

    Hi icsailor,
    This sounds like a known issue reported here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
    There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
    # Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
    # Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
    Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • When trying to burn cd iTunes crashes. What is going on?

    I have Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I recently reinstalled all my software programs and operating system. I downloaded iTunes 9, and everything seems to work except when I try to burn a CD the itunes automatically closes...what can be the problem? I tried to burn different songs but it did it anyways...I dont understand it! My external burner works perfectly, but somehow itunes is not really liking it. any ideas?

    You might try posting this question over in the iTunes Match forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_match.

  • Itunes error 4280 and 4450

    I am incurring the same symptoms as many others have posted about. The playlist is fine, not too long, the songs have never been copied before, and all have either came from ITunes or from a purchased CD. I try to burn the playlist and before it even gets started burning, it cancells due to either 4280 or 4450 "unknown" errors. I have created a few CD's in the past from ITunes so I don't know what to think. Any ideas?
