Please help: strange error message when trying to burn cds

I have been trying to burn an itunes playlist onto cds and I have never had trouble doing this before, but just this afternoon I have started getting an error message and the disc will automatically eject itself immediately following the initializing stage.
The error message I receive is this: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power for this media."
What does this mean? What can I do to fix the problem? Thank you in advance!!
(Additional information in case this is helpful: The discs are Maxwell CD-R audio cds with 700mb/80min capacity, and my itunes is version 7.3.1. The playlist is long -- spanning multiple cd lengths -- but I have never encountered a problem with that before, so I don't think that is causing the error.)

Same here.Although i've had this problem since febuary of this year.
Just upgraded to 7.4 and it still does'nt work.Its not an uncommon problem,there has been hundreds of threads about this and thousands of users with the same problem,apple don't seem to want to recognise or solve the problem.Disgraceful behaviour on their part.
I've simply had enough now so i've contacted these...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tvand_radio/watchdog/contactindex.shtml
...people.Hopefully they can make apple sit up and take notice of this problem,although i have my doubts.I suggest you do the same if you to have had enough of apple's simply dreadful customer service and faulty software.
Sorry i could'nt be of any help to you but i can assure you that are not alone in this.

Please help! error message when trying to download pictures from iphone5 to macbook pro

Hello everyone,
lately I have been having some issues when trying to download pictures from my iphone to my iphoto library. Whenever I try to do so this message pops up "The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." Would anyone happen to know why this is happening? I was always able to transfer my pictures from my phone to my laptop before, so I don't know why this is happening now.
Thank you very much to whomever might be able to solve this problem for me!!

"The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format."
if you look at the error message - is the filename mentioned? What kind of file is it? A JPEG? A video?
Can you import the files from your iPhone with Image Capture?

PLEASE HELP! Error Message When Trying to Publish Site

No matter how many of these errors I fix (edit the file and re-upload it onto the site), Muse comes up with a new error every time I try and publish. How can I resolve this issue, so I can publish my updated site. It should not be a problem with the files considering I have been able to publish the same files in the past...something is wrong with Muse itself.
PLEASE HELP!!@

Business Catalyst does not support special characters in file names (i.e. "&"). Through normal paths of placing or importing files, Muse will automatically alter the file names during publish to remove the special characters. The one exception path I'm aware of is an .oam file from Edge, where Muse doesn't have enough knowledge of what all is within the .oam package to safely alter the file names.
When the error occurs, is it always for a file that contains a special character in the file name?
How many files are being uploaded?
If you click "Resume" does the Publish process:
A) Proceeds and completes
B) Puts up the same dialog for the same file
C) Puts up a similar dialog, but for a different file
D) Other?
Thanks.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

please could you help

Thanks for replying. I went to the store and bought CD's and DVD's of different brands, many of which I have used in the past. All but a couple of them worked. Maxell, Memorex, Verbatim and Sony did not work.
After several long discussions with AppleCare and some tests, they finally determined that the Superdrive needs to be replaced. So, I'm off to the Apple Store.
Thanks again!

What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
"not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
Any suggestions?

iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive. How much free space do you have?

Error Code when trying to burn cds

Hi
i have tried to burn cds using my iMac but for the last while i have been getting the same error , "burning of the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. Error code 0x80020022"
this error appears if i try to burn music cds or data cds ( documents/photos etc. ) . i searched through all the forums but i can't find a solution. i have tried using disk utility to repair permissions etc. but it says there all fine. i have tried changing cd brands but it doesn't make a difference. i can't use the hardware test on my installation cd because it just spins in the cd and then spits the cd out and just starts as normal yet when i put in a cd it reads it and asks if i want to import it into iTunes. i downloaded Onyx and let it do its thing but that didn't fix it. i also went looking but i can't find a firmware update for the cd drive on my mac. the cd drive in my mac is a "MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8124" . I was wondering if this was a common problem and how do i go about fixing it. one person told me that the cd burner would probably need to be replaced in order to fix this problem is that correct and is that costly . i'm at a loss to what else i can try so i would be very thankful for any help or information you could give to help me get this back working again. Thanks a million
Paul

Hi there,
I am writing here as an "end-user" and not as a professional computer advisor, and because I've had some problems alike with my older iMac. I've written about my case in here:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1832474&tstart=0
I would also like to know if there are some procedures to do in OS X (I have 10.3.9) regularly to make sure that the internal cd-rw-drive burns without "having it's own opinion" and giving all kind's of stuped error-signals or even throwing-out the cd-rw's when ordered to burn them.
I haven't figured out if there is a straight way to do this in OS X with the original Apple-applications. However, I've found a 3rd party freeware application called Burn X Free (1.5 (v1.5)) which at the moment seems to work and do the job of burning cd-rw's. Earlier I was able to burn them in Finder, after going from OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.9 I begun to have burnig-problems, but might be that the origin of the problems is not the X 10.3.9. Anyway, with my user short experience of Burn X Free (1.5 (v1.5))-application I can recommend it if nothing else after all maintenance procedures works...
However, I would like to know how you solved the problem after all.

Getting Error Message When Trying To Burn To DVD HELP!!!!!

This is the error message I am getting as soon as I click on the "burn" button.
The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:
- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.
Any ideas? Please help ASAP, this project is for my grandpa's birthday and I'm trying to finish quickly!
~K

It's a good idea to check the Project Info (under the Project menu in iDVD) before burning a disc. If any of the Duration bars are in the red, then you need to go back and edit your project. Also check the Encoding type with your total Project Duration: if the project total is under 60 minutes choose "Best Performance;" if it is between 60 and 120 minutes you'll need to select "Best Quality."
Unless you have freed a lot of GB on your hard drive, iDVD will not be able to burn the disc. You'll need at least 15 -25 GB free on your boot drive in order for the app to do all that encoding. It takes a lot of brainwork to turn a 13+ GB movie project into a 4GB DVD file.
When your project is ready to burn, choose File > Save as Disc Image. This tells iDVD to do all the encoding, and will result in a disc image file that you can mount in your DVD Player app to see that all is well. If so, you can quickly burn the disc image with Disc Utility or an app like Toast. If not, then you haven't burned any coasters. Another advantage is that you will be able to burn duplicates of the disc image very quickly, without going through all that encoding again, should other relatives request a copy.
Regards.

Error message when trying to burn

I am getting this message when I try to burn my project to a disc: "There were errors during the project validation that have to be fixed before burning the project."
I don't have any yellow warning triangles anyway and everything runs fine in preview. Please help.

That may mean you didn't fill some drop zone(s). I was able to continue and encode and it worked out fine.

Error Message When Trying to Burn Pics to a CD

I'm trying to burn pictures to a DVD. I have the ones I want highlighted, I then click "Burn", and it gives me the following error message:
"Incomplete Disc Name
Please enter a name for the disc"
A name automatically populates in the "Name" field ... I've left the name as it is, I've tried to change it, I've taken numbers out, I've taken any special characters out, and I've even tried to leave it blank. Still get the error message.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks for your help!

Try the basic fix: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
