Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / February 2005Burning CDs query
I have Itunes as part of Ilife 05. Until a few days ago I could burn a playlist no prob to a CD-R. Now suddenly it does not work. Using G4 with OS 10.3.8 iTunes prepares the blank OK and sets up the files to burn, starts to burn the first track, then ejects the disk with MacOS error, or unable to complete error. I have tried different brands of CD from different boxes (mostly Imation) but the result is the same. I even tried Toast 6 in disk copy and audio file mode, But that got me "Unable to complete burn due error.." again and again. All I am doing is feed blanks into his thing. Maybe the "writer" is at fault, but do not know how to fix. Any ideas welcome. > I have Itunes as part of Ilife 05. Until a few days ago I could burn a > playlist no prob to a CD-R.

If you can remember the exact words in the error alert, it would help. If it has a number or a reason for the error then that problem may be easily rectified.

It appears you are not alone. If you have a look on the Apple discussions group for iTunes (apple.com --> support --> discussions --> itunes), lots of people have been having similar problems with iTunes 4.7.1, both in Mac Os and Windows. Some have suggested changing the brand of disks helps (but I see you have tried that). Others have suggested a new burner. It may however be that iTunes is the culprit. Can't offer any other advice.

I am a bit confused, you say you have tried Toast in disk copy mode? so you are trying to copy from disc to disc?...try making a Toast image of the disc and then burn that in Toast (SIMULATION MODE) or copy the tracks to the HD and then drag to Toast in audio mode, also try slowing the burn speed down to 8 or 16 what speed was you trying? what burner do you have? how is it connected? info, info, info! > Maybe the "writer" is at fault, but do not know how to fix. > > Any ideas welcome. > ---------- > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > > Any ideas welcome. I used audio mode and dragged tracks to teh window at "best speed". Will trey slowing it down. Yes, I tried to make disk copy of the original CD, which gave similar error message. Cannot complete. Will try as you say to make Toast image. |
