My Mini is older model Snow Leopard use to burned ITunes playlist to discs without problems now it quits before the burn is complete leaving the message "burn could not be complete because of a "Medium Write Error".

I'm not ready to try that nor will I ever be even if I could find it.

Now that it and I am back, I'm posting it below to see if anyone here can help. Since the post, I did try a CD brush cleaner, which seemed to help in reading CDs which suddenly didn't want to read [which hadn't happened until just recently], but made no difference in burning. Is it possible write error that "full" CDs is an issue, as all of the ones I am trying to burn 75 minutes [Whoops! Said 115 minutes when I meant 1:15 in my orig post 🙂 ] or so of music? [I burned them previously.] I tried downloading RealPlayer only to find out that the Mac version doesn't write CDs!! ORIGINAL POST: I have recently encountered a serious problem with "medium write error" when creating Audio CDs out of iTunes. medium write error It had happened sporadically in the past, and I reduced write speed, which seemed to fix it. But now, I can seldom create a CD with iTunes. I have searched this forum and the web for help, and seen numerous threads. I have tried reducing write speed to 1x, reduce time between songs to 2 seconds, bought brand new Verbatim CDs, reset PRAM, reset Language prefs, etc., etc. Some seemed to help for a while; I got a couple of fast burns after going to new blank CDs, but it always reverts to CD coasters. It seems to be iTunes only! I can record files on CD and DVD from a Burn Folder, and can read both, though I don't do that very often. The iTunes burn seems to always stop at a time remaining of about 4 minutes. The files total time is right around 74 minutes; my CDs are supposed to hold 80 minutes. I did read one post that said that almost full CDs were a problem. I tried cleaning the lens by the screen cleaning cloth wrapped around a business card method, but don't know where or how deep the lens is. I haven't tried compressed air, but have the same question. Where is the lens so that I am sure I am getting it? [My computer

Anything else is usable to record or burn only once, So if you erase, it's done, you can't reuse it. Which do you have? If you are using Re-writeable disks, then you can try cleaning the drive, or try a different brand of disk. In my experience, re-writeable disks are quite limited in the number of times they can be erased. #2 DeltaMac, Jul 4, 2012 glamrockchick uix_expand uix_collapse Registered Joined: Dec 18, 2011 Messages: 204 Likes Received: 0 yep they are re-writable ones, never had this error before, only been erased maybe 2or 3 times though.. the brand of disc should be ok, burned on that disc before, should i try burning in disc uti
