Unknown Error Message 261

Does anyone know what this means? Just got a new Samsung burner and after checking the playlist when burning and it just spits out the DVD

Does the name of the playlist have any punctation in it? & or ? or @ signs? Try removing them and trying the CD burn again.

  • Burn error message 261

    I too am getting burn error message when I try to burn my playlists to CD since I downloaded iTunes 5.0. I am burning a MP3 CD and there are only 640 MB to be burned to a 700MB CD. I have gone through all of the iTunes suggested solutions. I have contacted Dell (my OEM) and the manufacturer of my CD-R/RW drive (Samsung). I upgraded the latest firmware for my computer and CD Drive. I still get the same message...burn failed for unknown reason...error message 261. It works in Windows Media. What gives? Is there a fix? Seemingly, quite a few other customers are having the same problem. HELP!Apple is there a fix on the way?
    Here are my diagnostic results:

    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.

    Hello Armando,
    I'm not too sure if I could help you since you're running a Windows machine but if you want some reliable answers, could you re-post your question in the iTunes for Windows forum? I'm sure the people on that forum would help you better. Sorry about that.
    Just FYI, you posted this thread on the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • Error message [261]

    Every time I try to burn a CD from an iTune playlist the CD ejects itself and up pops this message:
    The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occurred [261].
    Can anyone please explain this?
    Thanks.

    Are you running iTunes 6.0.2 which was released last week? Try downloading and installing that. And if that doesn't fix the problem, come back and we'll try something else.

  • Cannot burn to DVD in iTunes 6 - unknown error occurred [261]

    I'm having issues burning a playlist to DVD in iTunes 6 - it rejects the DVD and gives me an error message "The attmept to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred [261]." If I try to burn the same playlist to a CD, there is not a problem. In my "burning" preferences within iTunes, I have selected "Data CD or DVD", but when I pull the preferences up again, it only says "Data CD". I click this option again and it gives me "Data CD or DVD", but never seems to keep the "DVD" part of the option.
    I have been able to burn to DVD from playlists in the past, but I believe it was before I upgraded to iTunes 6.
    Any suggestions?

    Correction: I cannot burn CDs or DVDs of playlists in iTunes 6.0.1. I have no problem burning CDs in other applications and could burn CDs prior to updating to iTunes 6.

  • Unknown Error message appearing when editing Nikon D810 files on Lr 4

    Hi Guys,
    Recently bought a Nikon D810 and whenever I import files and have a play around with them Lightroom will freeze and then come up with the Unknown Error message. Just wondering if anybody else has encountered this and if so, what you have done to rectify it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pete

    Then they must be using Lightroom 5. According to the list of supported cameras, support for the D 810 was added in Lightroom 5.6. I seriously doubt that any of your friends are actually using it in Lightroom 4 Unless they are using software to change the camera model in the exif data.

  • Unknown error message when trying to update or download Apps?

    Hello!  I have had no problems till now, and have been happily downloading and updating for 9 months.  Yesterday I received an unknown error message when I tried to update an App on my IPad 2, and have since been unable to update or download. Have tried closing down and restarting, changing password, and usual things.  Any good ideas? Does this happen often?  Everything is working, I simply can't download from App store.  Thank you for any helpful suggestions.

  • "Unknown Error" Message when saving Illutrator CS3 file

    I get this unknown error message when attempting to save an illustrator file.(CS3). I tried to open and then save several files with the same resulting error message. As a work around, I have reverted to working in CS2 until I can get this resolved.

    Chris -
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
    Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

  • Tour Smartphone 9630 not synching. Getting "unknown error message"

    After 6 months of no problems, I am now unable to sync my Blackberry to my computer. I am getting an "unknown error message" what's going on?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    "Unknown" -- that is what is going on.
    But seriously folks...that error is one of the hardest to diagnose...so here's what I suggest:
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • On My Mac Pro Getting an unknown error message when trying to update apps

    On My Mac Pro Getting an unknown error message when trying to update apps To Perchase Mountain Lion

    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.
