More CD-ROM Problems

Alright, This is great, how many more problems could this computer possibly have?
My CD Rom drive is messed up now. About a week ago, it decided it didn't want to burn a CD with more then 6 songs on it via iTunes. I called Apple Care, we deleted Caches, Pref files, Archive Install, and maybe something else. Problem was temporary solved. I tried to burn a CD again today, it fit the requirements and everything. It gives me (somethign along the lines of) this error:
"The Burning failed because the write speed is too fast for the disc drive or the media, try lowering the speed"
I have. I've gone down to 2x, and up to 16x or whatever it says, and Maximum Possible. In this past week I've wasted about 15 or so CD's. They are Memorex 52x CD-R's. I've been using them forever, and up until now I've never had a problem. I've even tried burning on some Target brand cd's and got the same result.
I can do a "drag and drop" burn on the desktop, but that doesn't really help me because I want an audio CD.
I was just able to burn a 6 song CD, but not a 15 song CD.
Someone help me, I'm about to shove a screwdriver through this computer.

Hi there,
I have used Memorex brand only once, it burned 'successfully' but would not pplay on a CD player, however, it did play on a PC with iTunes... so I stopped using Memorex and switched to TDK's and haven't been disappointed...

  • Do white new iPad's have more light bleed problems?

    I have exchanged 3 white 64GB wifi only new iPad's and will be exchanging for my 4th one today. are there more light bleed problems with white iPad's? I don't know how many times i will have to exchange until I get a good one. can someone show me of a white ipad that has no defects what so ever.

    I just want to mention that if the DSL light isn't on, it is definitely the phone line, however it is not always the provider's fault. Remember they are responsible for the line from the pole to the house, but not the inside wiring. If your phone line is unplugged from the jack, the DSL light will not be on. To be sure that it is SBC's fault, go and test the connection at the d-marc box outside the house.
    Take your laptop, your modem and a phone line and plug it in out there. If you don't get the DSL light, it is definitely their problem. If you do outside, but not in the house, and you call them out, you will get charged for the service call.
    Also the built in ethernet cards, more commonly referred to as airport cards, are not really delicate per se, but the wire for the antennae connection is most definitely. Only if you removed yours which you would have to if you wanted to add RAM, would you have any reason to be concerned about possibly damaging it. SBC telephone tech support is always showing off their lack of knowledge.

  • DVD-ROM problem reloaded

    HI everybody. I have posted this issue before, but got no solution for it. So, I'm trying again.
    Whenever I insert a CD into my DVD-ROM drive the system gets locked. The drive's light lights up a few times, but everything gets locked, including the mouse pointer. Then after a few minutes the mouse pointer is released and the system can be used again. The DVD-ROM drive, however, is never accessed at all.
    When the above useless processing is finished the mouse pointer is released, and I can use the system - as long as I don't try to access the DVD-ROM drive again. If I do try to access the drive, everything gets locked up again as explained in the above paragraph.
    Would you guys be able to help me figure this out?

    ttreaders:
    I have had problems since I began installing nVidia IDE drivers. Whenever I install those, the problem repeats itself. With the original MS WinXP drivers I did not have it. However I get a lot more performance from the system with the newest nVidia IDE drivers. So ...
    G_man:
    Thanks for your "moral" support. Your description of the problem is excellent. It seems exactly the same as mine.  This drive is a Samsung SD-616B 16x DVD-ROM that came with my Dell 8200 system. I took it out of the Dell system and installed in the new one. The FW version is F006. I bought this Dell 8200 in November 2001. I wouldn't think it's an old drive though. Regarding round cables, I do have them, so I might try using flat ones sometime in the near future, and see if it works better. Also, please see my reply to archermoo below.
    Archermoo:
    I have disabled UDMA mode in Bios and driver, and ... IT WORKS!!! Alleluiah. The system can access the drive and is not hanging any more. .
    Now, my question to you guys is: what am I missing by changing the DVD-ROM drive's access mode to PIO?

  • G3 Pismo DVD-ROM Problem

    The DVD-ROM (Model M7931, Apple P/N 661-2244) in my G3 Pismo is not working properly. When a CD or DVD is input the drive spins, but makes slow & fast spin speed noises. Then it quits without reading the CD or DVD. The lens is clean & the drive appears in the System Profiler. When I replace the DVD-ROM drive with a CD-ROM drive (M73888), the CD drive reads a CD, so apparently the electronics within the G3 are OK.
    I've read in forums that these drive have been problematic. Has anyone attempted a repair of the drive or know what might be the problem? The Service Manual troubleshooting doesn't suggest much, except replace. Since the drive is inop & possibly need to be trashed, I'm not adverse to trying to disassemble & attempt a repair. I can continue to use the CD-ROM drive.
    I doubt that I will replace the DVD-ROM because used ones appear to cost $50+ & new ones about $100+. Is there an alternate (cheaper $) PC drive that could be used?
     Cheers, Tom

    It's fixed. WD40 to the rescue.
    I was considering swapping the Apple drive with a PC drive (see first link below, Plan B), but thought I would do a little troubleshooting (Plan A).
    I opened the drive tray from it's enclosure. Using a #0 jeweler's Phillips screwdriver, I removed the metal cover plate screws (5). Then removed the screws (3) holding the motor/plate assembly. Carefully lifted the motor assembly upward at about a 45 degree angle (flex cables were attached). Looking at the side, there was about a 1mm gap between the motor & the plate. Using the plastic nozzle on a can of WD40, sprayed a small amount of lubricant. Let it sit for a few minutes & rotated the spindle. Reassembled everything.
    I inserted a CD, didn't hear any spinning noise & the CD icon appeared on the screen. Repeated with a DVD. Both were being read. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Found these helpful links when searching for a possible solution.

    If you use cable between CD-ROM dri've and sound card, disable the "Enable Digital Output ...." setting on Device Manager --> DVD/CD-ROM dri'ves --> your dri've name --> Properties --> Properties -tab. If not using cable, then try with cable instead (disable this setting then).
    Check if DMA transfer is activated for CD-ROM dri've(s) (try if enabling/disabling it makes any difference).
    Disable the Creative CD-ROM detector (service).

  • Dvd Rom Problem

    Hi,
    I have a Ibm Thinkpad T23 Series Laptop where I bought from Canada last year. When I was in Canada I am able to access any of the CDs/Dvds through my Thinkpad's  Dvd rom. My Dvd Rom would be  TOSHIBA - DVD 8X MODEL NO : SD-C2512.
    I have recently came to India, When I tried to play any CDs/DVDs over here I am not able to access. I brought one Dvd from Canada, When I play that Dvd its playing. When I tried to access any of the Indian Movies or softwares which is available with me that  I am not able to access. I believe there is no problem in my Dvd Rom and I am not able to understand what might be the problem.  Appreciate if any one could advice.

    I am able to access all the hardware in the system includes DVD Rom

    Firstly are you using pirated discs in India????

  • Curve 9300 connecting to boot rom problem

    Hi everyone, I have a curve 9300 and I tried to install an update to the OS. The problem is when i get to the part that says "connecting to the boot rom" the phone starts rebooting and goes like this 3 or 4 times, resulting on a failed update. I already have tried to use another USB port, another computer, connect the blackberry to the pc with the battery pulled, tried another usb cord, all of which failed. Can anyone help me solving this?

    Hello Edi27 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue installing your device software.
    Did this error come up after the update installed or during the update? 
    Does the device display any error on the screen or just the BlackBerry start up logo? 
    Have you tried to reboot your device in Safe Mode as shown in KB17877?
    Thanks!

  • More DVD Audio Problems! Help!

    This is the same problem as mentioned before in "dvd audio compatibility". I'm getting a lot of customers coming back with the same problem, and they're all using coax to connect their televisions to their dvd players. Problem is, not everyone has RCA jacks available to them. How should I be encoding these videos in Encore 2.0 to avoid this problem? By default they're all going into Dolby digital 2.0. For the past 2 years, I've used Encore 1, and never had this problem.
    What should I be doing in Encore 2?
    Thanks!

    David.
    It sounds to me as if there is something much more fundamentally wrong here. ALL your customers should be perfectly okay using CoAxial outputs from their DVD players. It is only DVD-Audio (a completely different format) that has this issue with needing RCA type jacks.
    DVD-Video should be perfectly okay outputting via CoAxial cables to a suitable Dolby Digital Decoder.
    These people who are missing audio - are they attempting to decode the Dolby Digital stream internally in their players? My guess (and thisis a guess without detailed info) is that they have simply not got their systems set up correctly. Sadly, this is all too common as most end users will never go into the setup pages and will just leave everything at factory defaults (which are rarely ideal)
    When we are talking about CoAx connections, are we talking CoAxial Digital Audio connections here, or CoAx TV (RF type) connections? There is a huge difference.

  • More Macbook Pro Problems

    Hello again. I have another problem with my macbook pro, in addition to the previous one that nobody was able to help me with.
    I have gotten to the point where I turn on my mac, go to my main user, and there would only be a blue screen without any icons or my background loading. I have reset in single user mode and tried a few things, and mainly all I can accomplish is getting the log in screen to come up so that I can get to another user. I just logged into another user, and it turns out that my computer is now reading 75 GB of free space. So, if I have done steps 5-8 on this site: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464, does that mean that not only is my harddrive entirely deletyed, but I cannot get the computer to still work?
    I can't believe how unreliable this computer has been. I should not be dealing with this, and yet I am having more trouble with this Mac than any windows computer I have owned. I would like to mention that I have little 3rd party software, adn have no hacks.

    Have you taken it in for repair? Perhaps that is what you need to do especially if it's still in warranty. I think this is your best course of action because it's apparent from your post that you don't really know what you are doing as far as "fixing" it is concerned.

  • More feed posting problems

    I am also getting either error 5002 or just "The iTunes store could not process your request, please try later"
    The feed has been validated OK
    It is: brandspanking.co.uk/podcasts/parker/parkerpodcast.xml
    I have tried on 3 PCs and 2 macs in 2 completely different locations.
    I have tried renaming the feed and simplifying the feed address all to no avail. I must have tried more than 150 times since last Friday!
    I see from this forum that I'm not the only one having problems. I've submitted feeds before with no problems, so does anyone know how I can get support for this as it's driving me nuts!
    P4 3.2 Ghz 2.5Gb RAM etc.   Windows XP Pro  

    I'm afraid I don't have much to offer to this discussion except that I'm having the same problem submitting a new podcast I recently created for one of my clients. Hopefully, when Apple notices enough threads about this in the forums, they'll let us know whether the problem is on their end or not.
    I have set my client up with Reinvented Software's Feeder application to generate the feed and it validates and works fine when I subscribe to it manually.
    I notice many of you are trying to submit new podcasts as well; I wonder if that has anything to do with this?

  • On ebay, firefox will not respond to "shipping and payment" and "read more" links. no problem using IE.

    when on Ebay and looking at an auction, the links for 'shipping and payment' and 'read more' (in the item specifics block) do not respond. all other links on auction pages work. and they also work using IE. this is the only website that i have this problem with.
    i did a refresh of Firefox, but the problem persists.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

  • More weird display problems

    Hi!
    Booting up recently everything looked fine for the first few seconds, but as the login window was about to show up, I only got a few colored pixels outlining the Apple logo, and sometimes a large white box where the cursor should be.
    At the same time, Running BootCamp my Vista started experiencing a problem with the Nvidia display driver, where the screen freezes and then Vista raports that the system has successfully recovered from a driver problem.
    Neither Apples own hardware diagnostic tests at startup, nor Disk Utility when I run the 24" in TDM, reports anything wrong. I did not install any new software or hardware prior to the problems started.

    You'll need to tell us more about the setup and function, but it sounds like you need to download and use the standalone installer.
    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
    +*Using standalone installers from Apple Support Downloads*+
    +Sometimes a standalone installer may be more useful than the automatic Software Update feature. Examples include when you:+

    +Need to install on multiple computers and need a portable file.+ ⬅ ⬅ ⬅
    +Have a faster Internet connection available to you at another computer.+
    +Have no Internet connection on a computer that needs the update.+
    Note: there are two 10.5.7 standalone updates (standard and combo) the larger combo update is recommend if you are having any problems or have reinstalled an earlier 10.5 version from your install disk.
