CD Ejects with Error Code 9 - Repair Disk Permissions Greyed Out

History:
Superdrive 815CA Ejects Blank CD's to be burned w/ Error Code 9
Exact Text:
The Operation Could not be completed an unexpected error occured(error Code 9)
The CD Ejects, but the Ghost Icon of the CD image would stay
Plays previously burnt CD's/DVD's as well as market CD's/DVD's fine
Went to Disk Utility
Repair Disk Permissions(RDP) & Verify Disk Permissions(VDP) greyed out so you can'tclick them when I click on first aid
The only time they weren't greyed was when I clicked to repair the Ghost Icon CD, of which the actual CD was ejected in the first place
I cleaned the lens umteen million times - same problem
I did the Hardware repair check w/the startup CD, same problem
I bought a NEW frickin' Superdrive and installed it successfully- same problem
I went to system preferences and selected the option to open the blank CD in I tunes.
This worked for burning MP3's no problem
HOWEVER it will not open in the finder, so I can't save any data from my desktop on to a CD/DVD, so my hard Drive is getting clogged
Got a Hammer?

I loaded at least 20 different BLANK CD's to experiment with.
The same CD's which get spat out when I open it in finder, burn fine when i open them up in I tunes
I've already bought a new drive and the same problem occurs as when i had the old drive (can't open in finder), so i believe the bad drive and bad CD premise has been troubleshot.
It seems like it won't recognize the Drive or CD when i try to launch a CD from the finder
The blank CD's burn music fine when I open it up in I tunes, but not when I try to open it up in the finder when i try to put data on the CD's.

  • Repair disk permissions "greyed out"

    We have a G5 with 2 internal hard drives that we use as a server. I can run "repair disk permissions" on one drive, but on the other the choices for repair or verify disk permissions is greyed out. Why is this and how can I repair the permissions on the one drive?

    2 possibilities come to mind.
    (1) The disk in question does not have Mac OS X installed on it (required for permission repair).
    (2) The disk in question does not have suitable files in the /Library/Receipts folder (such a folder doesn't exist, I guess, if OS X isn't there - see (1)).

    So I'm wondering if these are related. Thanks for any help!

  • Repair disk permissions grayed out

    Hello,
    I have a WD External Drive that I use for Time Machine backup. Recently have had no backup (about 20 days) and finally decided to look into it. I use this one at work and have brought it home to work on what is wrong. Have tried to repair disk permissions, but option is grayed out. I have however been able to repair disk. It took 8 hours to repair disk which reported no problems.
    I have tried to copy files from the backup disk to another disk, but it won't work (don't remember exact message-but it was something odd).
    From another thread, I was trying to do this command:
    sudo /usr/sbin/chown _installer:admin /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb
    and got this response:
    Home-Power-Mac-G5:~ paul$ sudo /usr/sbin/chown _installer:admin /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb
    Password:
    paul is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
    so, I then try this command:
    ls -leO /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb
    and get this response:
    -rw------- 1 _installer wheel - 266133504 Dec 15 22:03 /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb
    WHAT do I do now? I want to first back up all files then reformat drive to start anew.

    Hi Christopher Graham;
    Since Repair Permission is repair the permissions for the system there has to be a system on the partition in order to not have that button ghosted. As far as Disk Utility can tell a Time Machine backup is not a System hence it is ghosted.

  • Movie DVD auto ejects with "error code -43" message

    This issue first came up about 3 years ago but I was never able to find an answer to. This is a Combo drive (HL-DT-ST; RW/DVD GCC-4120B; revision 2.13) which still reads/writes CDs and reads DVD-ROMs without any problem. Is there any way to fix this error?

    There may be system logs, reports and other evidence of
    this issue in the Console or perhaps in System Profiler logs.
    Some other noted error code -43 messages seen elsewhere
    related to software and plugins for third party applications or
    disc burn applications; but troubleshooting could include a
    look to see if the cables to the optical drive are OK, and a
    fix may include a replacement drive. There was an included
    Apple Hardware Test with the original system software packet
    so that may be something to try and hope it tells you more.
    The error code may have several different causes, it would
    seem; at least according to the results of some searches.
    In my limited experience, my Macs have never shown that.
    The code is not limited to the model of the computer; so a
    repost elsewhere is not really necessary. And a similar error
    code appears in later OS X versions.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • REPAIR DISK button greyed out

    I wanted to VERIFY a volume and received and red-letter error that the volume needed repair.
    Here is the exact message:

    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.

    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

    However, the REPAIR DISK button is greyed out. How can I repair this VOLUME if there is no REPAIR option?

    Joel,
    You are probably going to find that booting to the install disk and running Disk Utility that way isn't going to help any further that "fsck" did. In fact, there is no difference between the command line "fsck" and Disk Utility's "Repair Disk" routine.
    What you have is a disk error that Disk Utility cannot fix. In most cases, Disk Utility will tell you that it cannot repair a particular error, if such is the case. In rare cases (lke yours), however, Disk Utility or fsck will report that repairs were made, when in fact they were not. I recommend that you do go ahead and make the attempt, but I am betting that you find the error still exists.
    Disk Warrior may have better success in making the repair, if you want to pay for it.
    However, you should be aware that files are likely to have been damaged by the disk error, and even a successful repair of the file system cannot replace any data that has been lost. In other words, any critical system files that are currently damaged will remain so, and any problems you are experiencing as a result of the damaged files will still exist.
    Unfortunately, the only way to fix these damaged files is to format and reinstall, preferably "zeroing" the drive in the process. Since this necessitates making a good backup first, that should be your biggest concern right now.
    If you know how to go about making a comprehensive backup, and are able to do so now, that is what I recommend you do. If you have difficulty making a backup as a result of the disk error, Disk Warrior may be able to help, and it might be worth laying out the cash for it. If, however, you have no problems making a backup, Disk Warrior (and its cost) would be uneccessary, IMO.

  • Strange error when repairing disk permissions

    At the end of the repaitr, it says "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
    What does this mean/what should I do about it?

    Hi Rob,
    Repair Permissions usually reports all kinds of little tidbits of information that really are not important to users. Permissions on this file system corrected, nothing was done on this one for reasons like Niel gave. The only thing important is when it gets to the end and tells you you are good to go. the intermediate statements are more information than things you need to concern yourself with...of course you can use them just to learn more about the file systems and what they contain if that interests you

  • Lion "Verify Disk Permissions" and "Repair Disk Permissions" grayed out

    Please help!

    Repair using Disk Utility was OK on the volumes, but Repair for the drive was grayed out.
    That's very odd.  Is your drive G.U.I.D?
    Boot into Safe Mode (Hold Shift-Key), then boot normally.

  • Apple: Repair "Repair Disk Permissions"

    The Leopard version of Repair Disk Permissions is broke. No matter what it is doing behind the screen, it comes up with the chirpy "Repairing Disk Permissions. Estimated time: Less than 1 minute" then proceeds to wait five minutes (on a 160 GB MacBook Pro of recent vintage) before starting to move the bar from its initial, deceptive, 20% fulfilled position.
    This performance and feedback flies in the face of Apple's own software behavioral edicts.
    After the five-minute wait, it takes an additional 4:30 to move the bar to the end, even when it's the second run on the same drive. The reported times are NEVER accurate, never even approximate until the last 50 seconds.
    And don't even get me started with all the reported failures to fix anything that consistently show up every single time.
    In five minutes (300 seconds) my computer has the ability to impose 4.4 Billion computational cycles on the task of sorting out whatever ails my hard disk--per second. That's just a TRILLION point three total mathematical operations that might be brought to bear on thinking about what to do before starting to access the disk and fix its errant map of data.
    To give that some scale, at one second per math problem, that equals around 42 thousand years. Which ought to be time enough to evolve the program into a more advanced version...

    It's an interesting but irrelevant observation.
    Disk Repair is not a mathematical operation - it obviously involves many disk reads - often the slowest component on a computer in terms of access times. Should any repairs be required - the system will then write and likely re-read to ensure the write was successful.
    You are trying to figure out future events - how long the next action will take based on prior events - sometimes things change that make past performance a poor estimate of future performance.
    As for estimating times - I've programmed this - and observed many attempts to do so - few work well or offer estimates anywhere near accurate. Observe the estimated times to complete a download in iTunes or the time to copy a file. I have seen many cases where the estimates said "10 seconds" and I waited minutes for them to complete.

  • Repair Disk Permissions - ACL Errors

    I opened Disk Utility and repaired disk permissions last night and was surprised to find six errors. I ran it again, and the first three errors disappeared. But the other three remain even after I repaired disk permissions two more times.
    These are the errors:
    ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Utilities".
    ACL found but not expected on "Applications".
    ACL found but not expected on "Library".
    Does anyone know what they mean, and how I can fix them?
    Thanks.

    Hi, they were common before the update to 10.5.2, and than they went away for the most part. There is much information on them with a search. Google the ACL errors and you will see what I mean. I hesitate to offer a solution because there's so many conflicting statements.

  • Repair Disk Permissions Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

    Hi All...
    any idea about this error when trying to Repair Disk Permissions using "Disk Utility" :
    "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
    No repair is made at all! It just stops right after being launched
    It happens either when booting on the Leopard CD or on external FW drive...
    Cheers guys!!

    It sounds as if you transferred the errors when you migrated your files from the G4. Something in that old filestructure that is not right. It might be the ownership of a single file somewhere.
    Have you considered DiskWarrior?
