Harry and anyone interested:
I am running an old Dual 2GHz G5 Mac, on system 10.5.8. I have a
backup laptop, much newer, but I usually use the old G5.
The dvd plalyer/burner is a replacement as the original unit went bad
a couple of years ago.
Now if I want to burn a CD using iTunes, I hit the burn button, and
then when it ask for a CD, I hold down the close CD tray key for about
30 second or more, and everything works fine. If I just push the CD
tray key, and let off of the key when the door closes, it will not
burn my CD's.
Odd, perhaps, but by keeping the key down for a while, makes every
thing works fine.

wouldn't burn CDs but would dvds (go figure).
I have an external CD Rom burner and was using that to burn CDs.
(Oh, I can play CDs in both units.)
Yesterday I wanted to burn a CD from within iTunes. The CD burner kept
rejecting my blank CDs and iTunes wouldn't recognize the blank CDs in
my external burner.
My brother-in-law told me some CD burners were incompatible with some
brands of CDs so I googled that and among the hits was a forum where
they were discussing the problem of the burner not working. One of the
respondents suggested cleaning the burner. I just happened to have a
CD cleaner DVD from Radio Shack. I put that baby in my DVD player, ran
the program, and, voilá, I was able to burn the CD from within iTunes.
Duh, could have had a V8!
Hope some of you will be able to benefit from my tribulations.
