Unknown error 4251 when attempting to burn a CD

Since I've upgraded to itunes 6, I can't burn a CD. Any attempt results in an unknown error 4251. My firmware's up to date; nothing else has changed. So, how do I burn a CD now?!

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:

... 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.

Unknown error (4251) - ANYONE HAVE AN ANSWER???

I see plenty of threads on this error message but unfortunately cannot find one that gives an answer to the problem! Everytime I try to burn a disc using itunes I get several songs into the burn and it fails with the following message. . . "the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4251)". The drive works just fine outside of itunes but I NEED to be able to burn the m4p's purchased from iTunes. I am fairly certain this is an itunes problem and not my pc as this laptop is brand spanking new with completely up to date drivers for the matsushito drive. I can reduce the burn speed as much as you like and it still fails to finish. Here is my diagnostics . . .

Unknown error (4251)

Hi, I have been doing a lot of research all night on my problem and I see that not many people know how to get past it. The one person who posted that their problem was solved by using this forum.
Anyway, when I tried to burn an audio book that I downloaded from iTunes it cancels the burn and gives the message that an unknown error has occured (4251).
I use a 32-bit version of windows vista
and here is the rest of the information that people say I need to give. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Cant burn a whole disc... Unknown error (4251)

Everytime I try and burn a disc it stops after 1/3rd and I get and unknown error message (4251).. I have tried lowering burn speed to 2x and 12x... The TDR disks I am using are rated to 52x.... I tried uninstalling and using version 7.5 but that does not work either... I have tried other music too.. I dont think the songs are corrupt...
thanks for any help with this...
sincerely,
Josh

I'm having this exact same problem. I've tried changing the burning speed and still can't manage to burn a CD entirely.

ITunes CD Burning stops half way through with unknown error 4251

Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I'm really not sure what the problem is. Everything seems fine in all my other movies but something in this one (and one other one) seem to be causing these failures. Any advice you could give would be really appreciated.

What are the source files in this (and the other offending) Project? Do they match those Sequence/Project Presets?
Does the Audio in these source files differ in any way?
What is different about this/these Project(s), from the others?
Often, Encoding will fail because of gaps in the Video. However, the error message is usually "Failure to Return Frame."
Good luck,
Hunt

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!

Getting "Unknown Error 0x666D743F" on Windows XP: Please Help

I know others have posted this I've tried the fixes but nothing is working. I'm sure apple will have a patch soon for this but I'm axious to use my ipod and now I can't

Hey, sorry, I didn't read everything already posted, I just don't have the time.
My issue is that my firewire connection won't work with iTunes 7. My USB doesn't work that well either - I have to reboot my computer every time with the iPod connected in order to get iTunes to recognize it. I've tried everything - restarting the iPod, restarting the computer, restarting iTunes, reinstalling iTunes - to no avail. I've tried restoring the iPod to factory settings, but everytime I try to do that through iTunes, it ejects my iPod and says "Restoring iPod" with that stupid progress bar running incessantly. I hope Apple puts out a patch to fix all this crap soon, because I'm getting ******. Does anyone else have this problem?

Error 4251 when burning a CD

I cannot find an answer to any of the previously posted topics about unknown error 4251 when attempting to burn a playlist to disc, and I've gone through 25 CD-Rs trying to fix it myself. I've reduced the write speed, maximised the write speed, and changed CD-R and CD-RW brands twice (Maxell and Fuji). Please, please help!

I guess the model number is V2414NR. Does that sound right?
that's perfect. i found your downloads page at HP.
although there's nothing there by way of firmware for the Pioneer drive that is throwing the error, there are a few other downloads of note:
Software & Driver downloads: Compaq Presario V2414NR notebook PC (XP)
check to see if your HP Notebook System BIOS is up to date.
check to see if that AMD Processor Update for Microsoft Windows XP is relevant to your particular configuration of V2414NR. if so, check to see if you're up to date with that.
check to see if your up to date on that IDE Controller Enhancement.
check to see if your Graphics Driver for ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Chipset is up to date.
once you're satisfied you're up to date, do you still get the 4251?
(if no joy, we'll start checking on that virtual drive showing up in the diagnostics.)

Error 4251

I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, but it didn't make a difference. I can no longer burn a disc without it popping the corrupted disc out and saying "Unknown Error - 4251." I googled it and one theory was that it had to do with antivirus software and to turn it off when you are burning a disc. It worked one time, but now it's right back to giving me the error. I don't know what to do; I'm at my wit's end. How can I fix this error? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Unknown error occurs [-20] when trying to sync purchased songs to ipod

I have purchased 5 songs via itunes store, and they will no sync to my ipod. an 'unknown error [-20]' occurs then, 'and error occurred while writing the devide' then 'the ipod cannot be synced'.
please help!

I was getting the same error -20(cannot write to the ipod unknown error occured)using Windows XP and couldnt transfer song to my ipod touch. I decided to remove my CA anti-virus and installed the free one from avast.com. BINGO my syncing problem went away. Now I can transfer songs to my ipod with no problems. Try removing your anti-virus and see if that helps.

How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening. P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.
