What does this mean when burning CDs...Error code 0x80020022?

I'm trying to burn data to a CD. I get the above error message, plus the error message "Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. Error code: 0x80020022."
This has happened with 3 blank CDs. I followed the standard advice to use a different brand of CD (although I typically use imation CD-R media). How can I get Macbook to burn data to CD, and what does this cryptic message mean?
Thanks,
Dan Neunaber

It seems I have corrected the error myself. I reset my PMU (I think), and now it seems to burn beautifully. With the same type cd's that it did before.
You can find instructions on how to perform this operation here. It only takes a few seconds. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
Besides now burning beautifully it seems that my apps are now starting up quicker. I would say that I have gained about 30% in speed. Weird. But nice.

What does this mean when I am Restoring?

I have tried all the five 'R's of troubleshooting. When I get to the Restore part in iTunes, it tells me "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod 'iPod'. The requested source was not found."
Does anyone know what this means? I have a 4th or 5th Generation iPod with the click wheel.
It also makes a click click sound while it's plugged into the computer. All my songs have been erased and it does not recognize it in My Computer at all. Thanks so much.
4-5th (2 yrs old)Generation 20 GB click wheel (no color) Windows XP

replying to quynh8
Well, in My Computer, it doesn't recognize the iPod at all. I think it's dead. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!! :)
let's keep pursuing Yin's suggestion. sometimes an ipod won't show up in Disk Management unless you put it into disk mode first. if you put her into disk mode, does she show up in Disk Management?
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
... for a little more information on the possibility that Yin is checking on (a Windows drive letter confusion), see the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
(you aren't getting the classical symptoms of a drive letter confusion, but it's worth checking on.)

What does this mean when I try to open a new window "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined

The above message pops up when I click on new window, once I click OK the message goes and a blank new window does appear. It has also just happened when I was in BBC language site and tried to open a link, the message appeared but once I clicked OK the message went and the link did open. It does not happen when I open a new tab. This has only just started to happen over the last few days.

What does this mean when iTUNES says this...

"Songs on the iPOD cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."

When the iTunes library is larger than the iPod, iTunes creates a playlist at random that fits.
You deleted this playlist.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Select the playlists you want on the iPod.

I'm getting the message -50 error when i try to export my project on iMovie '09. What does this mean??

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
iMovie/iDVD preference file
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file or "com.apple.iDVD.plist"
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
_ Library - at root level
_ Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..
Klaus1
You need more free space on your hard drive.
Where do Your material come from
Camera
External hard disk
USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
from Karsten S
Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
Bengt cont.
Set-Up might differ
Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
Action taken
Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
fps - set - I only use PAL (25fps)

HT2635 What does this mean? "I Photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your I photo library"

I cannot import my pictures and movies from a DVD - What does this mean when I get a computer message on my Mac -
"I photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your I photo library"

It means pretty much what it says - your HD is full.
This can arise because your HD is full - how big is your HD? How much free space on it?
Or it can be a mis-report due to to other issues.

Burning playlists from my iTunes to CD doesn't work anymore. Keep getting a "medium write error" message. What does this mean?

I'm trying to burn playlists onto a cd from itunes. I keep getting a "medium write error" message. What does this mean? I heard that this may mean that I should try burning at a slower speed. I tried this and that didn't help. I also heard that I may need to use a different brand of CD-R disc. I have not tried this yet. I also heard that it could be a software issue or disc drive issue. I recently updated my macbook pro software from tiger to snow leapord. Do you think this could have affected my itunes playlist burning capabilities? Thanks for the help.

A system upgrade should not have affected anything. When did you notice the loss in functionality?

Realize that a MBP that came with Tiger is an old computer and optical drives do not last forever.
You could try a drive cleaning disc to remove dust. Don't be overly optimistic. I suspect it is an old drive issue.

To use iCloud, you must first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.
