I have an iMac running 10.1.5 and I'm trying to
burn CDs using iTunes 2.04 and an external
Iomega Zip CD650. I am getting the error 'CD
burning failed because an unknown error ocurred
(-7932)'. I've tried everything, including reducing
the burn speed to 2x and disconnecting all other
USB devices. Can anyone help?

According to Apple's Knowledge Base:

"This alert may appear if you are using media of
marginal quality, or if you have a slower CD-R
drive set to burn at maximum speed.

Try a different kind of disc, or a different brand or
manufacturer of disc."

What type of media are you using? Have you
tried other media?

Thanks for your reply. I've tried Memorex and
Verbatim CD-R's, both 700Mb 1-24x compatible.
Also BASF CD-R's (650Mb). All to no avail.

I had a similar problem using the same
CD burner but on OS 9.2.2 - I turned off
the "authoring support / disc burner /
firewire authoring" extensions and the
problem vanished!

You are limited to burning at 2X for audio CDs on
the Mac with USB, so don't bother trying with 4X.

Have you tried burning more than one type of
media at 2X? Have you tried burning audio CDs
in Toast, or some other CD-burning program? Do
data CDs burn OK for you?

I would try upgrading to iTunes 3 as well and see if that helps.
