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. 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.

Viewing 7 posts - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) Author Posts June 9, 2013 at 1:36 PM #922 DaveTParticipant I posted the following message on the Apple Forums since I didn't http://soundbytes.org/forums/topic/medium-write-error-for-cds/ know what happened to this site for a while. 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 that "full" CDs is an issue, as all of the ones I am trying to burn 75 minutes [Whoops! write error 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. 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 medium write error 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 is an iMac 21.5] Is it possible that the serious problem arose with iTunes 11.0.3 being run on OS 10.6.8? The timing is about right. I have been going to upgrade to 10.8, but just haven't gotten around to it. Might that help? What about another program to make the burn? RealPlayer/Toast/etc. Can they work with from iTunes play
