In iTunes->Burn Playlist to Disc->Choose Options: Choose the option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu, Change the burn failed because of a medium write error disk utility 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. The amount of free space on the startup disk needs to be greater than the amount of data you’re burning. Erase unnecessary files. Back up files you don’t use often, and then remove them. Repair your startup disk with Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. If none of the above possible fixes work you could have a damaged optical disk drive.

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], write error but made no difference in burning. Is it possible 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 medium write error serious problem with "medium write error" when creating Audio CDs out of iTunes. 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.

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.
