Can't Burn DVDs Since Upgrading to Leopard

The topic of the post pretty much says what my issue is.
But here are some details.
When I open Disk Utility and attempt to burn to a Memorex 2X DVD-R disc (verified as blank), I ultimately end up with the message "Unable to burn Name-of-Disk-Image. (The Media is not writable.)" This same media was burnable in Tiger. I have attempted to burn multiple DVD-Rs, with similar results.
When I attempt to burn to a DVD-RW disc, I get the error message "Unable to burn Name-of-Disk-Image. (An internal error occurred.)" Also tested with mulitple DVD-RWs.
So, my question is simple: How do I fix this problem?
If more information's needed, I'm willing to provide it.
My upgrade procedure was an Archive and Install, so I'm somewhat leery of using that as a solution - unless it's absolutely the only known way to resolve such an issue.

I don't have a solution, but have been having the same issue. Sometimes, the message goes out, but stays in the outbox.
I did a repair permissions about a week ago and it seemed to work. Now, it's doing it again and the tell tale sign is that you don't get the 'swoosh' sound as the mail goes out. Sometimes I press send and the message immediately goes to outbox with no attempt by mail to send it (as judged by watching activity monitor).
Very troubling because I invoice my clients via email attachment.
I have three mail accounts and all three behave the same way. Never had problems with this same setup in Tiger.

Can't burn CDs since upgrading to Tiger

I have a 1GHz powerbook G4 with a combo drive. Before I upgraded to Tiger I could burn CDs no problem. Now, CD-Rs from the very same batch as I used before don't get recognized on the desktop.
Important facts before you reply:
1. YES, I have checked that the preferences are properly checked so that the CDs should not be ignored.
2. Disk Utility can see the disk but says that they are not writable. However, the problem is not with the disk: my husband has a computer that is almost identical (1.5GHz Powerbook with Super Drive) and the same disk shows up fine.
3. The drive itself is working, in that it can see pre-written disks no problem.
4. I have already tried completely erasing my hard drive and clean-installing the OS and software. Made absolutely no difference.
5. I'm running the absolute latest version of the OS.
6. The details of the drive itself (as lifted from system profiler) are below.
MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8123:
Firmware Revision:     CA0T
Interconnect:     ATAPI
Burn Support:     Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache:     2048 KB
Reads DVD:     Yes
CD-Write:     -R, -RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD:     Yes
Write Strategies:     CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
Media:     No

what I try do do sometimes is I have a Hard drive that I keep Panther on and when I run into problems like that I boot from an external Hard Drive and check it out. If you have access to an external HD that you can boot from or just install the Computers original CD's on it and test it out if that hasn't worked then it could be that the Drive has hardware malfunctions internally and could have broken down as a coincidence of installing OS tiger. I often did this trick when I first got tiger because I was having too many problems with it. I know this is probably not the best answer but I hope it helps you out. let me know of any developments.

Can't send email since upgrading to Leopard

I upgraded a couple of weeks ago. Mail worked fine until last night. Now I can't send any mail. It just stacks up in my outgoing folder. My mail settings seem to be unchaged. I have several POP accounts, and none of them work.

I can't burn DVD's on DVD Studio Pro since I install Snow Leopard

Well, my computer was working great, I had tiger installed and I decided to update to snow leopard and "big mistake" since then I haven't been able to burn DVD's from DVD Studio Pro, at the time to start writing the information to burn it, it shows a message saying " the recording device reported the error #6. Unknown device error. I connected and external dvd burner and when is time to burn it says "The recording device reported the illegal request. Unknown device.
I can easily burn DVD's from iDVD what makes me believe the problem is not with the burner. I went to Melrose Mac and they told me there is a conflict between FCS and Snow Leopard, they suggested to install Leopard instead, he mention many people has complain about the same issue Can that be possible? I got something thinking my computer was going to work better and I screwed it up!

Did you also upgrade DVD Studio Pro?

Since upgrading to Leopard, can't check for software updates or iTunes stor

since upgrading to Leopard, i can't get software upgrades. I get error messages "software update can't connect to the update server. make sure you're connected to the internet, then try again. software update can't check for updates because of a network problem." My network connections are fine.
Also get "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. the network connection was refused. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again." when I try to go to itunes store. Again, my network connections are fine.
Any ideas?

the solution is to use Little Snitch Configuration.app, which monitors online activity and gives option to allow/deny access of a given program.

STILL can't burn DVDs on Mac OS 10.6.5 after trying everything

Hi there.
Ever since I've updated to 10.6.5, I can't burn DVDs, doesn't matter which brand or what software I use. however, I am able to burn CDs. I went to my local Apple Store and they booted OS 10.6.3 on my computer via firewire and what d'you know ? it burnt a dvd right away. this is clearly an issue with the latest update. I did as they said, reseted my PRAM and even re-installed the latest update (I downloaded the 10.6.5 combo version from Apple Support).
Is anyone experiencing the same ? I know a lot of people had the same issue couple of weeks ago. did anyone successfully overcome it ?
cheers.

This is an older post from the Roxio Community (http://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/39824-toast-burns-cd-but-not-dvd-on-mac/); but seems like similar problem - maybe worth a try:
Either something is preventing the data from being sent to the drive's DVD-writing laser or the drive's laser is failing to start writing the disc. The only thing you can do with Toast is trash the plist and prefs files in the User>Library>Preferences folder and relaunch Toast. You might get a laser-cleaning disc for your drive. (A different laser is used to write CDs than is used to write DVDs). Also try choosing Save as Disc Image with Toast and burn the resulting disc image using the Image File setting in the Toast Copy window.
Note that the laser cleaning idea was also mentioned in the previous link provided. Have you tied that? - would be nice if a simple solution worked.

MB Pro, with Tiger, which has since upgraded to Leopard - Install Discs?

My MacBook Pro had originally been installed with Tiger. I have since upgraded to Leopard.
Should I need to boot from my install discs, which install disc do I use? Will my Tiger install discs work with Leopard, or should I use my Leopard disc (retail version)?
Thank you!

{quote:title=Kappy wrote:}
Actually you would be better to install Leopard directly. You can reinstall pre-bundled software separately without installing Tiger. An Erase and Install of Leopard would be preferable to installing Tiger then upgrading to Leopard. Less chance of a problem.
Hi Kappy,
Some, at least, of the late 2007 MBP C2D 2.2 and 2.4 GHz MBPs (mine included) actually came with Tiger Installed, but with a "drop in" copy of Leopard enclosed in the box. From memory the version of Leopard included will only install if the original software is in place. (I'm not 100% certain of this, but I'll check) Not sure what Trisha's situation is, of course, but worth bearing in mind as a possible issue.
Cheers

Can iTunes burn DVDs into our idevices?

Since burn CDs is a piece of cake but can iTunes burn DVDs into our idevices.

I haven't tried to convert DVDs to iPod yet (had it for a week) but in the past I tried to convert DVDs to my PocketPC handheld using many tools and found that there is no quick, easy and trouble-free way to do it. The fact that Apple chose to use specific (proprietary) video codecs does not help. You have to get your hands dirty, learn a lot about video, codecs, bitrates and so on. It was more time and energy than I was willing to spend. I may give it another try though. I bought the Apple AV cable to view video on TV and it'd be a shame to not use it.
You may find some tutorials and other conversion tools at this website: www.dvdrhelp.com, they also have discussion forums. (hope it's ok to post this link)

Please help - computer is crashing & freezing ever since upgrade to Leopard

Ever since upgrading to Leopard, my computer has been crashing a lot more. Sometimes it just freezes up. Most recently, I got the gray screen with a bunch of different languages telling me to restart using the power button. Here is the crash report. Can anyone tell me what's going on, and if there's anything I can do to help?
Thanks!

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

I can't burn DVD's

Hi,
I can't burn DVD's.
My Matshusita DVD unit can read it without problems but when I insert a blank DVD to burn it, Finder doesn't open and I can't do it.
My Imac seems to recognize it because I could see DVD characteristics at discs utility.
Please, could you give me some advice?
Thanks.

I can not burn dvds anylonger with my MacPro. Why ?

Hi everyone. I already posted this message in another thread but got no useful replies.
Configuration: MacPro Early 2008, MacOSX 10.6.8
I can not burn dvds anymore and do not know why. I can play dvds and cds though!
The following is the usual error message displaying after clicking the button burn :
I have run Disk Utility from the Install cd of Snow Leopard and the small things which needed repairs have been repaired.
I have reset the PRAM and the SMC (System Management Controller). Nothing.
I have set up a new user account with admin privileges but it did not work.
Please, note that I am trying to burn the same Kodak Pro dvds for photo and data archival that I burned in the past in the same MacPro.
I am actually burning my dvds using my MacBook Pro connected with my MacPro through Airport but it's a very slow process, of course.
Any piece of advice ?
Thank you !
Paolo

Can't burn DVD's with Tiger

Since I installed Tiger, I can't burn DVD's using either Toast 6.1 or the native Apple burning software. I keep getting "Mismatch at byte...sector9. Verification failed." I am trying to back up a variety of files. I can burn CD's on my iBook G4, but I can't burn any DVD with any kind of content on my Pioneer. I tried PatchBurn with no success. Any suggestions? TIA. --- Dave

My guess is your Pioneer drive is connected via Firewire or USB 2. The OS 10.4 install or updates may have caused some problem with the Firewire or USB 2 communication with the drive. Oftentimes these problems are fixed by applying Apple's Combined System Updater. In your case that is the 10.4.4 combined update. It doesn't matter if you are already running 10.4.4.
Otherwise you may need to do an archive and reinstall of 10.4 to get the link working properly.

Since upgrading to Leopard I cannot iSync to my Nokia 6233

Since upgrading to Leopard I cannot iSync to my Nokia 6233 via bluetooth (I never did it by USB). The devices are paired and I can transfer files via Bluetooth so the basic setup is there. I have installed the Nova Media phone plugins for isync and my 6233 appears on my isynch bar and allows me to chose what to sync but when I click sync it cannot connect. (I have also been unable to use launchtonet from Nova Media since the upgrade. When I try to use it I get a message that no devices were found within reach.) Something is out of kilter - anyone got a suggestion? thanks a lot, JJ

Hello,
I have the same Nokia 6233 and the following way solved the problem.
1. Go to /Applications -> iSync.app -> Contents -> PlugIns -> ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice -> Contents -> PlugIns -> PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin -> Contents -> Resources. (From Finder, use Shift-Command-G, for Go to Folder; or Control-click iSync in Applications.)
2. Open MetaClasses.plist in a text editor.
3. Search for <key>com.nokia.6230</key>. Then find the end of the script for the 6230 phone - the </dict> tag just before the next phone's <key> tag.
4. Copy the following script and paste it between the </dict> tag for the 6230 and the next phone's <key> tag:
<key>com.nokia.6234</key>
<dict>
<key>Identification</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.cgmi+cgmm</key>
<string>Nokia+Nokia 6234</string>
</dict>
<key>InheritsFrom</key>
<array>
<string>family.com.nokia.series40.3rdEd.bus.bt</string>
</array>
<key>Services</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>ServiceName</key>
<string>com.apple.model</string>
<key>ServiceProperties</key>
<dict>
<key>ModelIcon</key>
<string>NOK6234.tiff</string>
<key>ModelName</key>
<string>6234</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
5. If you have a Nokia 6233, change all the references to 6233 to 6234.
6. Save and close the MetaClasses.plist file.
7. In the same folder, duplicate the file NOK6230.tiff. Change the filename to NOK6234.tiff (or NOK6233.tiff if that is your phone). This file is the image of your phone which appears in iSync - if you want an accurate pic of the 6233/6234, find one and save it as a 60x60 transparent .tiff file).
8. Open Bluetooth Preferences. Delete any existing pairing for your Nokia 6233 or 6234 phone.
9. Create a new pairing for your phone.
10. Open iSync and you should now be able to sync your phone:)
If it works just copy the MetaClasses.plist file and save it anywhere. For the next updates You just have to copy it into the folder in iSync. This helps You saving time.
If You want to use my MetaClasses.plist, You may send me Your Email-adress. Then I will send it to You.
Good luck

Can no longer print since upgrading modem.

can no longer print since upgrading modem. none of our apple devices see the HP printer anymore. they used to. says no airprint printers found. any thoughts on how to fix?

If you upgraded the modem......but you have not reset the printer back to its original default settings and then set it up again......now would be a good time to do this.
The printer still has the programmed settings to connect to your old modem, and it cannot find it, because it is no longer there. The printer is lost, and does not know how to find its way. It needs to be set up again with new settings to match your new modem.
