Unknown Error (4200) when trying to burn from play list

I have burned about 4 disks with no problem from my playlist. Now after iTunes initializes, I get a response that burning will stop. When stopped I get the banner stating "attempt to burn failed" Unknown error (4200)

Hi, Joshua.
I presume you are using the internal optical drive that shipped from the factory with your PowerBook G4.
1. You wrote: "I am trying to clean up some space on my powerbook G4 (not that I need to) but I like to keep things tidy."Be careful not to "tidy up" anything outside of your Home folder or the Macintosh HD > Users > Shared folder. Your Home > Library folder is another folder that should not be altered unnecessarily.
"Tidying" System files can render your Mac inoperable unless you either:
• Have a deep understanding of Mac OS X and the files in question.
• Are instructed to remove such a file by someone with such understanding.

You may have selected too high a speed for the optical media or the optical drive, have bad media, or be using optical media that your optical drive cannot see correctly. Some new, high-speed media use dyes that are problematic with older Mac optical drives. See Macintosh: Factors That Affect Writing to or Reading From Optical Media. If you've not used this brand of media before, try a brand and speed of media that has worked in the past.
Good luck!

  • Error Code when trying to burn from a burn folder

    Hey everyone,
    I am trying to clean up some space on my powerbook G4 (not that I need to) but I like to keep things tidy. I was trying to burn some files onto a CD, it recognized the blank CD, displayed it in my finder as well as the burn icon, I had all the files set up, I hit burn, went to the speed selector, and then when I hit ok an error message popped up saying could not burn "Error Code 0x80020000). Any clue as to why that is? This is the first time I have had a problem burning files, both music and data have worked before.
    Thanks for the help.

  • 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:

  • Unknown Error 4251 when trying to burn Cd's

    I have tried all night to burn some cd's from itunes and I keep getting error number 4251. Does anyone know anything about this? I cannot find any information under support that will help me clear it up. I have made sure that the setting is audio cd and have even set the burn speed to 4x to see if this helps and to no available. The only thing that I have done all night is waste cds.
    Thanks for your help

    You would not believe it. I went and purchased a different pack of CD-R's and the problem is resolved. The entire package of memorex CD's were garbage!

  • Error 0x80020022 when trying to burn a CD.

    What is this Error 0x80020022 when trying to burn a CD.

    I had that error too. Many times!
    I tried a lot of different CDs.
    And for two times I got new superdrives (warranty).
    I thought it's over now, but today it came back... :-(
    So, it's definitely NOT a broken superdrive.
    But while reading all the posts with the same problem I began thinking about the lens.
    Maybe it's not the scratches or printings or quality of the CDs.
    Maybe it's the grease spots from the fingers???
    So I rubbed it clean, only touching on the very outside and tried again. It worked!
    I just wanted to share this.
    Could it be so easy?

    What does a medium write error mean, when trying to burn a cd?

    What does a medium write error mean, when trying to burn a cd?
    It's an error message returned by the burner. You can see the full list of these error messages here
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Code_Qualifier>
    It's not specific enough to pinpoint what caused it—it could be anything from a bad optical medium (CD-R) to a dusty or dying laser diode. You have to isolate the problem—use a different CD-R brand, try a different speed, use a different burn engine (eg, Burn), etc. If it occurs once or twice, randomly, it's more likely to be a bad disc. If it occurs consistently, and at the same stage of the burn process, it's more likely to be a drive or software issue.

    Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again and see if that works for you.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sign in again -Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign in.
    If that doesn't work either, reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the...

    Hello,
    I have had a BT Vision package for a few months but we recently moved house and wanted to transfer our services. Since moving in, we have got the telephone, internet and TV channels working however we are struggling with the additional TV services (i.e. catch up, recording, on demand).
    Everytime we try to play something on catch up or via on demand, or try to play a recorded programme, it attempts to load but then the following error message appears at the bottom of the screen in a red box - 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the video OutputProtectionEnableFailed'
    I have phoned BT's technical department on several occasions who have not been able to resolve the issue. I have tried Googling this error message and searching BT's website however I cannot find any comments about this error. BT have offered to send a technician out however will automatically charge £99 if this is an error with the cable rather than the BT box. This is a lot of money and I am not able to risk this potential charge when I'm not sure what the problem might be.
    If anyone know's what might be causing this , or has had the same error message themselves, I would be very grateful to know.
    Many thanks,
    SHyde
