I have tried to burn cd's from playlists. Since installing the latest version of itunes, when i do this it writes the first couple of songs and the stops with the 0x8004005 error message. Could you please let me know how to stop this from happening. I am using a Toshiba Satellite with windows 10.
I just downloaded the new version of iTunes. I was able to burn a cd without any errors.
I am also having this same issue with the latest update. Apparently the update did not fix the problem or the issue is something else completely. Have you had any luck on your end?
It's now working for me. Thanks everyone.
I have managed to burn a cd after the latest update. I'm hoping that it's been fixed. Sorry to hear you're still having problems.
A workaround is to uninstall iTunes then download and install one of the following as appropriate:
You could also try burning at 1x or 2x which has worked for some.

So tt2 - staying on the version 2 versions back is the best solution.

This advice applies to Windows 7 64 bit users specifically but may also apply to Windows 8.x and Windows 10 users. Okay, I followed the advice and installed the older version of Itunes that was mentioned in this article. 2 Notes that should be helpful for everyone that does this method. 1. Make sure you uncheck the box for automatic updates of Apple Itunes and products or your Itunes will automatically be updated to the latest version. 2. The Apple Security Certificate for this software expires February 24, 2018 so I hope that there will be a fix by then at the very latest. My blank music cd did successfully burn on the first try and I had to reauthorize my computer in order to allow the songs to be burned to the cd. Fortunately, I only lost 2 blank music cds before I went to Google Search to research this error.
Hey thanks tt2, I tried burning at x1 and it worked. Fast enough until they do an update. Great advice. Thanks
I downloaded the latest version (I think), 12.7.3.46, and it works just fine. I have been able to burn an audio cd.
