Unknown Error # 4000 when i try to burn cds

When I insert a blank cd it acts like its copying, and says writing...(the name of the song). Then after about 30 seconds it says canceling disk burn and it comes up that an unknown error # 4000 occured. I've been able to burn cds for along time up until a couple of months ago. Can anyone help me?

I am having the same problem, and it is really freaking me out because over 95% of my music is saved in my iTunes Library, and all my original discs have been resold on Ebay. As you all know...once you save them in iTunes, there is no way to access the music file in the Microsoft Mediaplayer. I have tried purchasing different blank discs only to have to discard them after the attempt. Is there any way to fix this problem. Can I opt to go back to an old version of itunes? It looks like this problem has been going on for quite a few months now. How do we get Apple to address this problem. I need to have access to MY music that I purchased. This is insane!!!

  • Error message when I try to burn CDs or DVDs

    A couple of days ago my Super Drive was working great. Now I'm trying to burn a data disk for a project that I am working on and I get the following error message: "The Disc could not be used because the disc drive is not supported (error code 0x80020025)"
    I have tried closing out of all other programs, using a DVD instead of a CD. Re-trying. The only thing that is different is that my software update ran a number of updates yesterday. Anybody else experiencing this?

    In the Preferences folder:
    Locate and Delete the File com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Locate and Open the Folder AppleWorks
    In the AppleWorks folder, delete the following files:

    AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
    Optional:
    AppleWorks Button Bars
    This file contains your Button Bar preferences. If you have made changes to the Button Bar, but hanve NO issues that can be traced to the Button Bar, it may be left in place.

    I keep getting an unknown error (-50) when I try to access the itunes store. I have the latest version of iTunes and I am running windows xp service pack 3. I never had trouble before. I am getting frustrated as I cannot even find a good phone number to talk to a live person to complain. Any help would be appreciated.

    An unknown error appears when I try to save older files in CC 2014. I can save the file if I outline the fonts. Is anyone else having this problem?

    It also happens with my illustrator.
    Have you found a solution with Adobe Support?
    You can transform the all fonts in curves, but itll be impossible edite again. Sad. too sad.

  • Unknown Error (-48) when I try to sync my iPod

    I have started to get an Unknown Error (-48) when I try to sync my iPod to my iTunes music Library, this problem only occurred when I upgraded to iTunes 7 and upgraded to the latest version of the iPod software.
    Any suggestions?

    At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for this. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a fix comes along.
    Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
    Enable Disk Use on the iPod
    Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
    Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
    Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
    Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
    Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me. I've tried the Apple advice of erasing the iPod in Disk Utility and restoring it in iTunes but found it only worked for a while before the error came back.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

    Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
    I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
    Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
    Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.

    Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?

  • Unknown error "4000" when trying to burn  a cd?!

    I've noticed that there are a lot of similar complaints in this forum but I still want to add mine here too...
    I just recently downloaded my first album from iTunes and tried to burn it on a cd, but the program refused to do anything other than popping out the message " The effort to burn the cd failed unknown error 4000".
    I updated the firmware nut still nothing. What's up with this?

    hi Ilkka!
    no particularly focussed advice I'm afraid. but there's still a few other things apart from the CD-drive firmware mentioned here that are worth checking up on:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93360
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93286
    ... and these resources might be helpful:

    toonz, "Where to find firmware for your CD/DVD drive", 05:55pm Apr 15, 2005 CDT
    ... and if no joy with those, head here to check for other documentation and to submit your CD diagnostics to Apple:

    ... and periodically refresh your thread here with another post, so passers-by will be able to update you on any developments.

  • I keep getting error 4260 when I try to burn a mp3cd ?

    I keep getting error message 4260 when I try to burn a mp3 cd in itunes

    OK, you turned off your filewall, but did you disable Norton Internet Security completely? For some issues just disabling the firewall is not enough. I once had a connection problem with Gracenote that went away when NIS was disabled, but turning off every element of NIS individually and together did not work.
    Some people have found adding the following to trusted domains helped:
    phobos.apple.com
    phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93434
    Occasionally flushing the DNS Resolver cache helps:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304084
    Are you able to connect to the store normally with just downloading affected, or is there a general store connection problem?
    The other thing is have you run your network diagnostics from the iTunes Help menu? Posting the result might help.

  • I am getting an error message when I try to burn a cd

    I am getting an eror message when I try to burn a cd of an iTunes playlist. The number that came up was 4310. Help!

    Hey KISSAPES,
    I came across some information for you that goes over troubleshooting CD/DVD drives in iTunes for Windows. I would first recommend following along with the steps within:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1374
    Then, if that doesn't seem to solve the problem, you can try removing and reinstalling iTunes. There are directions for that here:
