Why can't I burn a cd using Itunes?

Question

I have a sony vaio desktop. I just started the burn and 30 seconds later it told me that it was cancelling. Then an error popped up saying that it was an error 4280. Please help me!

I just did what the last person told me to do and now I have an error (4315).

Answer 1

if you didnt use the "Burn Disc" thing in the top corner then you are doing something wrong. i had windows then i changed to itunes and nothing happened to me.

Answer 2

I was getting the same error, here's the fix from the iTunes site:

If you attempt to burn a disc in iTunes for Windows using a Sony
CD-RW/DVD CRX830E model drive, you may get the following alert:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4280)
If you get this error in iTunes and you are using a Sony CD-RW/DVD
CRX830E drive, you can make a small change to one configuration file to
resolve the issue.

To find out if you have a Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX830E model drive:

Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click Run CD Diagnostics.
Put an audio CD in your optical drive.
Click OK. The results appear in a new window.
Look for this text in the results:
IDE\CdRomSONY_CDRW/DVD_CRX830E

If you see this in your results, you have a Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX830E
model drive. Follow the steps below to resolve your burning issue.
Quit iTunes.
Locate the gcdrtype.cfg file in \Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration
Right-click the gcdrtype.cfg file and from the shortcut menu, choose
Open.
If you see a "Select the program from a list" option:
Click "Select the program from a list."
Click OK.
In the list that appears, click Notepad.
Click OK.
The gcdrtype.cfg file opens.
Scroll down to the bottom of the document. The last or the next to last
section of text should look like this:
[AUTODETECT CD DEVICE]{RecorderType:IDE/ATAPI}
GENERALFLAGS = READCD
MEDIACAPFLAGS = 0
READFLAGS = READCDDATA | READCDMODE2FORM2 | READCDAUDIO | READPOSTGAP
WRITETAOFLAGS = 0
WRITEDAOFLAGS = 0
DRVGENERALFLAGS = MODESEL_NOPAGE01 | MODESEL_NOPAGE05
DRVDISCINFOFLAGS + NO_READDISCINFOCMD | NO_READTRKINFOCMD | DVDINFO
DRVWRITETAOFLAGS = 0
DRVWRITEDAOFLAGS = LOPOLL_RDDISCINFO
CDWRITESPEEDS = 0
CDWRITERWSPEEDS = 0
CDREADSPEEDS = 0
CDREADRWSPEEDS = 0
DVDWRITESPEEDS = 0
DVDREADSPEEDS = 0
Add this text
| NOSENDOPC
to the end of the line that starts with
DRVGENERALFLAGS

Note that the text you need to add starts with a space, then a vertical
bar "|" (Shift-), and another space. The edited line should look like
this:
DRVGENERALFLAGS = MODESEL_NOPAGE01 | MODESEL_NOPAGE05 | NOSENDOPC

On the File menu, click Save.
You can now burn discs in iTunes without getting that error message.




go to the Preferences under the Edit menu, and choose the Burning ta
b. Reduce the preferred speed to 12X or 4X, etc. (BTW, don't use "Sound Ch
eck," it causes the volume to be severely reduced.) Then hit OK.


Therefore, I co
nverted all the music to mp3 files and transfered them to another cd burning
program on my computer. The results have been excellent. If you want to kno
w more about how I accomplished this, please do not hesitate to ask. I would
be more than happy to describe the method I used to you. If not, thank you
for counsel and advice in this matter all the same.
