24x, etc doesn't seem to work right at all.

The fact that iTunes burns fine now and I can burn from Finder at 24x 95% of the time makes me think it might be an OS 10.6 issue.Īnyone else have this happen to them?If I burn at 8x it works rock solid every time. I'm still under Applecare and suppose it might be worth taking it in but I really can't be without it for more than a day or two. I don't know whose fault it is: Dell, iTunes, or Philips. It also seems that any blue or purple dyed discs (on the write side) have far more issues than standard clear. In burning the Philips disc, you need to constantly change the speed. DVD-Rs never have a problem being burned. I update to iTunes 10 and all seemed fine.Įvery now and then when I burn a CD-R to back up or send WAV.s in Finder I get errors in the verification stage at maximum speed.

It would burn tracks and then I'd get medium write error when it would be in the 'finishing stage'. Im not so tech savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated. An issue I started having recently is burning CD-R's in my top superdrive. hello, Im trying to burn a playlist from itunes to a cd, but I keep getting a message saying 'the attempt to burn a CD failed because of a medium write error' can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong.
