In iTunes->Burn Playlist to Disc->Choose Options: Choose the option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu, Change the CD recording speed, Specify a burn speed that is lower than the maximum speed rating for your optical drive. (try 1/2 that maximum speed ) Other possible variables: BE sure the disc is clean. Wipe the shiny surface with a soft, damp cloth, working from center to edge. Do not move, bump, or shake the computer while the disc is being burned. Use blank discs that are rated for the burn speed of your drive, or consider using a different brand of disc (excessively cheap or off-brand optical disks are known to have problems). Quit all open applications you’re not using. If your startup disk is nearly full, try to free up space on it. T

Daniel is online now I am suddenly unable to burn an audio CD from iTunes on my Resolved Question: I am suddenly unable to burn an audio CD from iTunes on my Macbook (0sX 10.4). I keep getting the error message "failed because of a medium write error." I've tried several different disks -- no luck with any. Submitted: 6 years ago. Category:Mac Share this conversation Expert: Daniel replied6 years ago. Hello, my name is Dan.How long have you had the MacBook?About how many discs have you burned?What version of 10.4 do you have? When was the last time you repaired permissions? Ask Your Own Mac Question Customer: replied6 years ago. I've had the MacBook about 4 years. A new hard drive was installed last year after the old hard drive crashed. I've burned about 20 discs (on the new hard drive). I just burned one a few days ago with no problem. Version 10.4.11. I don't know what it means to "repair permissions" so I assume I've never done that. Expert: Daniel replied6 years ago. Was it the hard drive or the optical drive that was replaced? Ask Your Own Mac Question Customer: replied6 years ago. It was the hard drive -- I lost everything! (I just tried again to burn a CD. This time it got further through the song list before ejecting the disk and giving me the "Medium Write Error" message. In previous attempts, it ejected the disk after just a few seconds.) Expert: Daniel replied6 years ago. Ok, do both these things.1 - Repair permissions, do this with Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities.2- Do a PRAM reset, this resets all the system busses including the optical drive.Restart and hold down the 'Option', 'Command (Apple', 'R' and 'P' keys until you hear 4 startup chimes.Let go and let it continue.Now try a disc.If that fails then use a DVD head cleaner to clean the drives laser head.Try a disc. I know you are running out of discs.If none of the above work then I would say the optical drive has an issue. Daniel, Mac Genius Categor
