Will not burn cd's with i-tunes error 2131

I have a Dell Vostro 1500 with windows XP, and I receive the error code 2131 every time I try to burn a cd. I have tried downloading firmware from dell, but did not fix the problem. Any suggestions, maybe I did not get the correct link?

Try a different disc manufacture. I have good luck with Maxell.
And make sure the disc is free of smudges and finner prints so the optical disk can write data to it.

  • IDVD Will Not Burn When Woring With iMovie

    When I build a project and prepare it for burn, it then passes it to iDVD. I can then tweak and finalize in DVD and actually start the burn process. After about 20 minutes it sayd it is ready and immediately ejects the disc. The status window says it is "plexing and burning" and counts down to "less than one minute". It never finishes.
    So it not only doesnt want to burn to an actual disc, but it never even finishes what it wants to do.
    Any ideas?

    So far everything should be OK
    Try creating the DVD as a disk image (.img) which is an option under FILE in iDVD.
    This separates the encoding/multiplexing process from the burning process.
    If the image file is created OK you can use Apple's Disk Utility to burn the disk image to writable media. Please come back and let me know if the disk image is completed and I'll explain the next steps.

  • Track Will Not Burn From i Tunes

    - I have one track on an album in iTunes that will not burn to cd because it is not authorized.  The rest of the album will burn fine.  The track will not play on iTunes or my iPod.
    - My computer is authorized and long has been.
    - I did not buy the track from iTunes.  I burned the entire album as one set from the original commercial 2-cd set.
    - Unlike the rest of the tracks, the one in question says "unavailable" in the track time (length).
    - OS X 10.8
    I'd appreciate any help on this.
    Thank you!

    Whether your computer is authorized or not shouldn't have anything to do with being able to play your own music, added from a CD. 
    When you check the path Musuc > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music is the track you want showing up? You could try moving it to another folder, then re-importing it to iTunes.
    You should also try opening it with another media player just to make sure the data hasn't been corrupted - though it's probably an iTunes problem.
    The obvious other thing is to try and add the track directly from the CD if you have it around.

  • I Tunes 7.5 will not burn my discs (help!)

    Hi I have I tunes 7.5 and I have for the first time ever via i tunes tried to burn a playlist to disc. The playlist has a few songs i bought on the i tunes store site and some others are just from my CD collection. I know there is enough space to copy them all on the disc but when i click on burn disc my computer makes a burning noice but nothing actually happens. I even have sonic burning software and have tried that and even this way it will not burn and i am wondering if it is becuase some of the i tune songs have padlock icons next to them. Does this mean i cannot put them on audio cd even though I have bought them - surely not that is unfair! Can anyone help as i would really like to make some CD's. I am also unsure as to whether my car/stereo will actually play these "mp4" files? Any help would be great guys?.....

    I've got the same problem and can't find a fix...

  • My itunes will not burn cd. telling me new burning software added may cause this

    I recently had Windows Vista put on my computer. I had Roxio put on it also. I tunes will not burn my playlist because of this. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes . this does not correct the problem. I tuunes is telling me there is no disc burner found.

    Hello bacovino,
    From what you describe it sounds like you are getting this error message when trying to burn a CD in iTunes even after uninstalling the iTunes application:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I recommend uninstalling not only iTunes but its associated softwares as well, as outlined in the following article:
    iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3299
    iTunes installs a device filter which helps it work with your optical drive. If this device filter is missing, you will see the message mentioned above. To resolve this issue, follow the steps below to reinstall iTunes and put the device filter back in place:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If the issue persists after re installing iTunes again, there is additional troubleshooting in the article that involves installing the device filter in Windows, which it walks you through.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Superdrive will not burn on mountain lion

    After installing mountain lion on iMac, superdrive will not burn or recognize cd/dvd. Have tried several different brands and burning software with same results.

    If you have a CD or DVD, insert the disk and see what happens. If the drive kicks back the disk or gives you some kind of error message, then it's most likely a hardware issue, and might require a repair. However, if the drive seems to work fine mechanically, then it's a software issue.

  • Will not burn photos to disc

    iPhoto will not burn photos to a DVD disc(Maxell DVD+R).
    iMac response is:
    "The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry."
    These Maxell DVD's are probably 2+ years old. However, I was able to burn 2 disc early this morning. Could it be a heat problem with the SuperDrive?
    Your Thoughts?

    If you have burned 5 or 6 disc in a row then maybe heat could be a concern.  I don't think so with just 2.  Are you able to burn a disc, CD or DVD, from the Finder or is it just from iPhoto?
    Run the Apple Hardware test as described here: OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test

  • IDVD will not burn disc after QT update

    IDVd used to work just fine. I did software update and updated Quicktime to version 7. I found that my Quicktime Pro key for QT 6 would not work with QT 7. I called Apple support and they told me how to revert back to QT 6. I followed their steps and successfully have QT Pro 6 back, but not my iDVD projects will not burn. It gets to stage 4 multiplex and burn and spins for hours. When I hit cancel, the disc ejects and is unburnt.
    I have followed Apples steps to solve a no burn when you upgrade to iDVD 4.0.1 (remove encoded assets) and this does not fix the problem.

    Hi Dennis
    There is ways to delete all of QT and then make a clean install but the
    easiest way is to download a back to QT 6.5.2 file from Apple support
    and downloads.
    I've done this and keep it till I get an upgrade that takes away the old
    files before installing the new ones.
    Yours Bengt W

  • IBook G4 + Lacie D2 will not burn iDVD movies?

    I have a new ibook G4 with an external Lacie D2; and I can't get any of my iDVD projects to burn. I get mulitplexor errors. So I did as the posts say, and cleared my cache via OnyX, Disk Utility App to repair permissions. Downloaded the latest Lacie drivers. It will burn via Toast 6 (only data DVD). But every time I try with iDVD it fails. Disc images port out correctly with iDVD, but those files will not burn to DVD via Toast and work on my set top DVD player? Any help? Thanks ahead of time!

    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I, too, have not been able to successfully burn a DVD through any Apple application, including Disk Utility and Backup. The only thing that's worked for me is to save my iDVD project as a disk image, and then burn the DVD using Toast. It takes longer, but at least I'm not wasting DVDs.

  • My DVD will play DVD's but will not burn from FCP

    my DVD will play DVD's but will not burn from FCP also the Finder does not recognize when I load a black DVD

    You need DVD burning/Authoring software.
    EIther iDVD or Roxio Toast or try freeware burning software Burn for OS X.
    iDVD is no longer available, but the last complete version that still works comes with Apple's iLife '09 apps.
    You would need to search for this on online sites like Amazon to see if you can still purchase.
    You install the iDVD app and all the authoring themes by doing a custom install of the disc and ONLY installing the iDVD app and iDVD themes.
    Here are a few copies of this for sale on Amazon U.S. site.

    Roxio Toast is another option.

    And freeware burn software Burn for OS X.

  • Installed New DVD burner, but it will not burn DVDs

    I just installed a new Pioneer DVR-112D DVD burner but when I try to burn a DVD with iDVD 4 it will not burn a DVD. It looks like iDVD 4 will get to stage 4 of the process but it will not finish burning the DVD. Can anyone help me out?
    Thank you
    Nelson Rego

    If you don't have Tiger, or iDVD 6 or higher, you will need PatchBurn

  • Idvd will not burn disks

    All of a sudden my work computer and my home computer will not burn disks in IDVD?

    Are you getting any messages or warnings when you try?  What systems are you running on each and what version of iDVD?  Is it the same project that you tried to burn on each Mac?  What brand and type of disk are you using?  What burn speed did you try?
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Will Not Burn DVD: Error code 0x8002006D

    Hello
    I have a 12" PowerBook G4 fitted with a SuperDrive running Tiger 10.4.11. My machine will still play & burn CD's it will still play DVD's but it will not burn DVD's.
    When trying to burn a DVD it comes up with following message:
    Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
    (Error code 0x8002006D).
    I am trying to burn using Verbatim DVD-R, which I have successfully used in the past.
    Any ideas what the problem is, and are there any possible solutions?
    Thanks for any help.

    I've never had any issues with it either, I still think it's a good utility.
    For burners, an external would be easiest to use as it plugs into a port on the machine. The lacie burners are ok, overall decent software & firmware support. I tore my apart to use the drive in a G4 tower, software all still works!
    Get one that can use firewire & usb. the PPC will boot from a firewire external DVD & it could also be used later, if needed, on a machine that doesn't have FW.
    Another option is macsales.com here in the States sells the exact same slot drive apple does for about $90. They do ship internationally, about $25 USD to London. If you want an internal solution this would be the way to go.
