Unable to Burn a playlist on a cd.

Im trying to burn a playlist into a cd but after scanning the blank cd Itunes tells me: " Disc Burner or Software not found". I have always burned cds so dont understand what is going on.
I currently have Itunes version 10 & I have tried several times to upgrade to version 10.6.1 but the download always fails & message reads: Error occured while installing the updates.
please advice as I dont know what to do next!
Thank you!!

I downloaded Tunebites and solved the problem

Unable to burn a playlist to CD: Error 4310!

I have Windows 8.1 running on a new Dell Inspiron 14R. After purchasing the computer, I downloaded and installed iTunes version 11.3.1.2. I was able to import my music and playlists into iTunes successfully. However, I am unable to burn playlists to CDs through iTunes. I repeatedly get the "unknown error 4310" as soon after I press "Burn Playlist to CD." iTunes recognizes that the CD is blank when I insert it, but then cancels the burn immediately after it starts.
I have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions above, especially including:
Verifying that the CD burner works -- I successfully burned an Audio CD using Windows Media Player. So, the burner works just fine!
Changing the burn speed to a lower speed
Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
Updating the drivers on my computer
This is very frustrating! Please help!

I am unable to burn a playlist in iTunes 10

I try to burn a playlist from iTunes10 I keep getting a media read error and the disk appears to be half burned. I can create a burn folder on my desktop and burn the cd with no problems. This problem started two updates ago. I have tried using an external cd burner as well as the cd burner in my iMac, but get the same message. It only happens when trying to burn a cd in iTunes. Unfortunatly my car stereo will not play an mp3 disk, so I need to create the audio cd in iTunes

I'm unable to burn a playlist to a CD. I get a message saying there is no burning software in my computer.

When I try to burn a playlist, iTunes tells me there is no burning software in my computer. My computer crashed back in August and I'm still trying to recover lost files/data etc. I have downloaded burning software but eveidently it's not liked by iTunes. What burning software/drivers, etc. is acceptable to iTunes?

HT1529 unable to burn playlist in Itunes- "unknown error (-3)

Hi
I have been unable to burn a playlist in Itunes. I get this message:'unknown error (-3)."
Please help!
Thank you
saulgreen

If the songs you are burning are old ones that are FairPlay encoded or have some other DRM then that my be the reason you can no longer burn them.
Here is a reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay
Note that "A particular playlist within iTunes containing a FairPlay-encrypted track can be copied to a CD only up to seven times (originally ten times) before the playlist must be changed".

After installing the latest version of Itunes, I am having trouble burning a playlist to CD. CD burner stops and cancels burn giving me an unknown error.

After I installed the latest ITunes update, I am unable to burn a playlist to a CD. It stops shortly after it starts to burn and gives me an error message but no explanation.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.)

My burner keeps reading my cd as a dvd and I want to burn a playlist? What do I do?

My I-Tunes burner keeps reading the cds I insert as a dvd so I am unable to burn my playlist. What do I do?

Yeah- up. Same batch of cds.
Under Burn Settings it describes the Disc Burner: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-8A8
The rest I have set up for Audio CD.
What do you think?

I am unable to burn CDs with songs recently purchased from itunes. No problem before. When I try to burn a playlist with new songs, I get the error message that "songs will not it on 1 audio CD". If I remove all songs except the new one, it will burn.

I am unable to burn CD's with the last 4 songs I've purchased from the iTunes store. I can burn CD's from playlist using previously purchased songs with no problem. With a normal length playlist including 1 of the newly purchased songs, I get the message "songs will not fit on one CD". I can remove all but the new song and 1 other and the CD will burn. I have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and still have the problem.

I have that EXACT same problem! I have no idea what to do though, but it is very mucho frustrating. Let me know if you find out anything, and I will do the same.

I am trying to burn a playlist and it I keep getting error 4850. I am running Windows xp. I am unable to burn disc since I updated my computer with itunes.

Every since I updated my itunes, I get error 4850 for burning a disc. How do I fix this error. I am unable to burn a disc. Please help!!!

The HDD should accept AAC or MP3.
Burn a data disc instead of an audioCD. You can get about 120 songs on a regular CD.

Unable to load movie playlist?

I'm really starting to regret Upgrading to Director 11. I
didn't have any of these issues going from MX to MX 2004. All I'm
trying to do is make a simple projector work on a Mac and it's one
issue after another. Not to mention all this after updating a whole
boat load of Xtras 11 requires.
The new one is this;
Unable to load movie playlist. Does the INI file exsist? It
must contain a section '(Movies)' with an entry
'Movies01=pathname.dir'.
I've already read a couple of other forum post with the same
error message going on with others but can't find certain files
required to make the fix like the 'Projec32.skl',
and I don't know how to read, let alone make an .INI file.
I'll mention I got this error after updating to Shockwave 11
EVEN though I was not publishing a Shockwave movie.
I know I just need to include a certain file on my CD when I
burn one because all works great on the desk top, but I'm throwing
darts trying to figure out what the CD burn is missing.
So to make a long story short does anyone know what I might
be missing?
I'm new to making director movies for the Mac, and even using
a Mac so I might need it spelled out a little more for being a
novice.
Thanks in advance. :o)>
PS I tried making a Mac Projector from my PC with no good
results either.

This is a very frustrating problem. I have run into it as well, but can't tell you exactly how I solved it, its been a while since I've seen it. It does have something to do with the length of the path to your projector when its published. I would suggest moving your movie as close as possible to the root of the drive, you may even want to restart to ensure all the internal variables have been reset and then republish the movie.
If you publish the movie from your authoring location and then copy the projector to a cd or the desktop the path length seems to be built into the projector at publishing. So that does not solve the problem. It is fairly easy to get a long path name - c:/mylocaldrive/documents and settings/yourusername/yourprojectsfolder/yourprojectname.dir has a path name length of 100 characters! I realize you are on a mac, but the same rules apply.
I also might be mistaken with the maximum path length. Perhaps its 128 characters?
Has anyone else run into this error?

Hello queenabs,
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found." I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:

Error message 4850 when trying to burn a playlist to disc

I have recently upgraded my laptop to a dell E6500, and have downloaded the latest version of itunes. Since I have had this new laptop, and new version of itunes, I have been unable to burn discs from playlists. It starts to write a track, and then i get an error message "4850". Can anyone help me with this? Ive seem some other people saying they have had this problem, but im not v conputer savvy, and dont always understand their technical response
Thanks

I too have been having troubles burning DVDs from iTunes, in my case under Vista. I think this could be a re-run of an earlier iTunes problem when Apple took a sudden dislike to grammatical expressions such as '. Anyway, by trying to burn with other software I've found the error happens when iTunes tries to burn a track with either a very long name, or a track that contains an odd symbol. Just now a track name from Verdi's Aida was not only very long but also contained this symbol / and I got repeated Error 4850. Once I edited the track name to remove this (and shortened the track name for good measure) the problem has gone away.
