10.5.2 Update fixes Leopard DVD burning issues!

I'd been having problems burning dvd's in leopard ever since i installed it, always had that "Power Calibration Error". I was able to burn discs in Bootcamp, so it was kinda obvious that the problem was in OS X. I've just completed installing 10.5.2 full update (341 MB) from Apple's website and I'm happy to say Apple has responded pretty well. I've burnt 5 Single Layer DVD's successfully. I have no dual layer ones lying around, so I'm not too sure about them.

Call AppleCare and see if they can help.
Regular trouble shooting
1) Create a new account, name it test or something
2) log into that account to see if the behavior changes
3) If it does, then there is some problem in your own account.
4) If it doesn't, restart.
5) If the behavior still doesn't change, there is some system configuration error
In this case
6) Open Disk Utility. Verify your disk, then repair permissions (not likely to fix the problem but will at least eliminate that possibilty)
7) Get a copy of Leopard Cache Cleaner and do a MODERATE cache cleaning
8) Restart
If still not fixed, reset PRAM and the SMU. Look on the Apple web site for instructions for your particular computer.
If still not different, do an Archive and Install. However go to the Apple web site and download the 10.5.2 Combo updater first. After you Archive and Install from either the disk that came with your computer (assuming that it is Leopard) or the retail Leopard installer. Then run the combo updater. Then run Software Update.
These problems are disturbing and really shouldn't happen, but they do. However, they can be fixed and you'll find that Mac OS is, overall, much better than the alternatives.
BTW, I just went through this whole mess for crashes on wake from sleep (USB issues) and failure to sleep (printer driver issue). Another computer had DHCP problems and actually needed a reinstall. However both of them are working fine now even though it was a pain getting there.

  • Can someone help me with a DVD burner issue on an HP Pavillion dv6700 series laptop?

    Hello all. I have a HP Pavillion dv6700 laptop with a pioneer dvd rw k17b internal DVD burner drive. I recently have been experiencing issues with burning DVDs. It is saying that my burn speed is too low or the DVD is not compatible with the write speed of the burner and will not burn anything. I didn't have this problem until recently and it burned other DVDs fine until then. I have tried numerous brands of DVDs and none of them seem to work. I have also noticed that only the write speed of 2.4x shows in the drop down menu now...it had other options before. I have looked for firmware updates for the DVD burner and there isn't any. I have also checked device manager to make sure DMA was enabled and even tried uninstalling the driver and allowing windows to reinstall it upon reboot. I am running windows 7 operating system and have no clue what has happened to keep me from burning at a higher speed. I have also tried different burning software programs to see if I can get around it...no luck that way either. What has happened and how can I fix this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

  • DVD burn issue

    I have Premiere Elements 13 and up till now have had no problem burning DVDs. Now it says the DVD burn is interrupted and advises me to use the ISO image instead.

    donm
    Thanks for the update.
    As for the save location of the iso from the failed burn to disc,
    a. look at typically default location - if you have not already...
    Libraries
    Documents
    or
    Libraries
    Documents
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    13.0
    and in the 13.0 Folder look for the .iso file included with the folders and project.file
    There is the likelihood that the .iso was not really produced. That typically results is the preference Intel HD Graphics 2000 or Higher is not set right, either disabled when it should be enabled or enabled when it should be disabled.
    Open the project to the Expert workspace and expand the Timeline using the -+ slider above the Timeline - opened all tracks which are used or unused and look for
    a. leftovers - whole clips or fragments of clips (could be seen as thin vertical black lines scattered among the track content)
    b. gaps
    c. title and transition placement
    d. placement of those Timeline menu markers if you left them when you did the with and without menus
    What were the properties of those last 3 scenes that you deleted and ended with successful burn to disc?
    Let us review the above.
    Thank you.

  • Is there any work-around in Mavericks for DVD burning issue's

    Ever since I installed the updated OX I get errors and problems burning disc's ( with my external Sony and OWC DVD burner's. Sometime's it freezes in the middle of burning and other times it hangs by the verification process. Even using Apple's own internal burner give's me these issue's. Even aborting the burn after it hangs is problematic. I usually have to turn off the burner and then on again and eject the disc . I use the latest version of Toast but have tried with Mac's own burning option. It makes no difference, both ways aren't working for me. In Bootcamp while trying to burn (on PC) side. The computer keeps crashing. I have had this experiance on my iMac and Mac Book Pro both early 2011.

    Hi Pavan,
    I am assuming you want to persist some intermediate values from a process XSLT invocation to another process XSLT invocation in BPEL.
    An approach to persist variables in XSLT could be to persist them the target variable itself (in an optional section):
    <li>This can be achieved by having an additional root element and mandatory element (say, data), having the actual schema and an optional complex type element (say, parameters, which would in turn consist of 2 elements name and value and maybe, if needed, type) attached to both the source and target schemas.
    <li>whatever variable you would want to persist, you can append it in the XSLT to the target variable,as children of parameters node.
    <li>Whenever, you want to invoke a partner link, you can have an assignment before invoking, which would assign the actual schema data (from element data) to the input variable of the invoke.
    As there is no inbuilt solution for this, things could get messy.
    Regards,
    Shanmu.

  • Dual Layer DVD Burner Issues

    Hello every one. I recently purchased a Sony DRX-810UL/T External DVD burner and am having a few issues with it. I have it connected through firewire to my mac mini runing the latest version of panther. It works well with Toast lite which shipped in the box, however if toast isn't launched, and I insert a dvd into the drive, I get the usual prompt asking me if I want to ignore, eject, or burn the disc. Regardless of which option I choose the disc ejects and i get an error message (0x80020025) telling me the drive is not supported. I posted a message on the maccast forums and was told that it was an issue with panther that it had trouble with dual layer burners. I also read one article that said relaunch the finder would fix this problem however that did not work. I am wondering if anyone else has experiences the same or similiar issues using a dual layer burner in panther. Just to clarify i am not trying it with a dual layer disc, it is a single layer dvd.
    Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.
    -Matt

    Hi Matthew
    I have a Dual Layer burner(internal) on my Mac running Panther 10.3.9 plus another burner and when I connected them,I had the same problem.Then,I installed an app called"Patchburn"(it's freeware)and since then,no problems,it recognizes both burners

  • CD/DVD Burning issues

    Hi all....My system is almost a year old now and I love it...it runs great in almost every situation.
    I am however having a strange problem and was wondering if you guys here might have seen it before...i
    Sometimes when I try to run a CD/DVD burn process windows just shuts down.
    It actually goes throught the entire shutdown process....it does not crash.
    It happens randomly with both of my burners ....only sometimes when I use NERO 6
    and almost always when I try to use CloneCD.
    any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance!!

  • DVD burning issues after Leopard

    I used to successfully burn DVD's all the time before I upgraded to Leopard and now I can't get said "burned" DVD's to play and in some cases, to even burn. I burned video DVD's two ways, by copying the VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS folders onto a blank DVD, in Finder, or with Toast, by also dragging the same folders and copying as data. Both worked ALL THE TIME. Now, when I copy the folders onto an empty DVD and selecting burn (and successfully burning), I get the following message when I attempt to play (using DVD Player): "Supported disc not available". Commercial DVD players won't play it at all (won't even recognize, in fact). Toast says before it even begins to burn, "cannot determine empty space." I've tried numerous DVD media, Ridata, Maxell, Memorex, but not iMation or Verbatim (always burn DVD-R's, btw), although I'm sure that previous to Leopard, I could use just about any media and be successful at burning DVD's. I can burn data onto DVD's no prob., it's just not video. This is the superdrive in my machine: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846: It does work, plays commercial DVD's and DVD's I burned when Tiger was my OS. Should I try iMation or Verbatim? Should I buy an external DVD drive? I've used a DVD cleaner, too, btw. Experts, any ideas? Thank you!

  • Intel iMac cd/dvd Burner issues

    I attempted to burn some files to a cd today. My burner is the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J:
    The cd's and dvd's I have are compatible. They've NEVER been a problem in the past.
    I load the cd, the finder prompt appears as normal, I click ok.
    I drag the items to the cd and click burn. I chose 8x speed.
    It goes thru the motions as usual, but spits out the cd implying it's not successful.
    The message that appears reads: "This disc could not be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (Error code 0x80020063)".
    I assumed it didn't work, tried 2 more, same response.
    I then checked to see if there was anything on the cds and yes, all 3 burned, successfully and are readable.
    Mind you I've used these cd's in the past w/no problem. I also just installed Leopard, and my computer is FULLY UPDATED.
    Any idea? Is mine about to fail like the numerous other reports?
    Is there a utility or app in our OS that allows us to check the workings of the burner, specifically? If so, what, where, and how?
    I've run disk utility, w/no detected issues. I've also run techtool from applecare, again, no detected issues.
    Thank you.

    I had this problem on an older MacBook Pro (1st Gen) it turned out to be a dirty laser. I fixed it by blowing compressed air into the slot. If this it is just dust this should fix it but if there is a more serious problem then I think you might need to replace it or buy an external drive to burn DVDs.

  • Is there anyone who knows how to fix the CD burning issue?

    It appears that with an upgrade to iTunes 6.02, I can't burn an audio Cd. I have read through many of the discussion comments to look for anwswers and it appears that MANY of we iTunes users are frustrated with the inability of iTunes to burn audio CD's.
    Much like everyone else, I create my playlist, and when I click on burn, itunes checks the media, acesses the playlist and then freezes. I have to cntrlaltdel to exit the program so I don't get any error message number. I do send the error message by email when prompted. I have run a diagnostic... details below.

  • Satellite P300 19P - CD/DVD Burning Issue

    Hi, I am new to the forum and hope that somone will be able to help.
    I am having problems burning DVD's. When I use burning software the image is usually copied ok and then the burning process starts, which usually lasts a couple of moments and then the machine spits out the disc part burnt and wasted.
    I usually use Corel DVD Copy 6, but have tried the TOSHIBA programmes and others such as NERO. Using Corel VideoStudio, this burns discs with a 90% sucess rate, but the problem comes when trying to copy my own created discs.
    I have tried different Disc types (ie +R and -R), and I have tried burning speeds too.
    Has anbody else suffered this problem?
    I have managed to find an error code 06077-26-2A040902 , does this mean anyhting to anyone?
    The TEMPRO Alerts seem to have provided firmware updates for a number of other DVD drives, but not the one in my machine? Perhpas it is due one? All the drivers are up to date.
    Thanks for listening and anybodies help is more than welcome.
    Cheers.

    Hi, sorry it has taken so long to post a reply again - many apologies.
    Thanks for you suggestion, which I have completed and tried. Although, this did help and I have managed to copy some discs with limited sucsess I am still having problems. I also made sure that the filters are still removed as mentioned.
    I use Corel VideoStudio to create my discs, which seems to work fine. The initial burn is successful and will play in any DVD machine perfectly. Since this issue I have given up using Corel DVD Copy6 and reverted to using the Toshiba DVD Backup tool, but this only allows a single disc copy (can't produce multiple copies). This works with a very low success rate.
    I have so far:
    - Made sure lense and discs are clean.
    - Tried different media (+R and -R)
    - I use good quality discs.
    - Tried the filter removing as mentioned.
    Is there any other suggestions as to what I can do to resolve this issue?
    Many thanks for your continued help.

  • DVD burning issue: Focus servo failure

    In an attempt to burn a DVD-R using Toast Titanium 9, I finally get:
    *The drive reported an error*
    *Sense key = Hardware error*
    *Sense code = 0x09,0x02*
    *Focus servo failure*
    HELP!

    You can always reboot, repair permissions etc., though this is a hardware error reported by the drive that probably won't help . It cannot hurt to try new media, not a new disk of the same brand but a new brand. Try Verbatim DVD +R. If this error persists you need it fixed.
    Do you get the same error using a burn folder and not Toast? With a CD-R?

  • Consistent DVD burn issues

    I've got two internal optical drives in my Mac Pro: the stock super drive:
    OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A
    and an added Blu-Ray burner:
    HL-DT-ST BD-RE  GGW-H20L
    I use Toast 10 for disc burning.
    I've been getting very consistent burn problems with both drives, where Toast hangs in the early stages of burning (usually at lead-in I think). Blu-Ray discs and CD-Rs are burning fine. I assumed I just had a bad batch of DVD-Rs, but I just bought a new batch of Taiyo-Yuden discs and am still having trouble. I realize this could be a Toast or media problem, but am posting here just in case anyone thinks it might have to do with my Mac Pro.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Update: I just tried a burn using Mac's Burn, and got this error:
    error code 0x8002006E

  • Apple do something about this DVD burning issue

    Hi ye all,
    Some time ago, I encountered problems while burning DVD's.
    Got this strange error message like many other folks were getting, and we were suspecting some kind of intergallactical conspiracy against Mac DVD writers.
    Now guess what, if I now insert a blanc DVD into my iMac, it just spits it out without any error message or whatever. Even Microsoft could not beat this kind of user-friendliness
    By the way, I'm running 10.4.7, with all updates recently published installed. My environment is dust-free, and there are no green creatures from Mars running around my living room.
    I really need to be able to burn DVD's, so Apple : do something about it, or I'll switch to Windows, and I'm dead serious.
    Anybody of you guys/gals have any suggestions as to what could be wrong with this DVD issue which has been going on for months now ?
    Regards,
    Dirk

    As noted we are just other users helping each other. Instead of venting you are more likely to get an answer or pointed in a better direction by describing your particular problem.
    Read your post to yourself and imagine you are another user that wants to help. You have provided no useful information about your situation. No iMac chip speed, no burner info, no error codes......
    It is possible that your optical drive has seen better days and might need to be replaced.

  • CD/DVD burner issues - NOISY

    I have had my Macbook Pro since October 2007. Its primarily used for issuing broadcast services for my ministry. Recently I've tried to insert both CDs and DVDs and I get a weird noise...very loud! Then the media ejects itself. Has anyone else had this happen? What could it be? I no longer have warranty and I know that some/most Mac repairs are expensive, would it be easier for me to just buy an external drive to replace it, if so which do you recommend?

    I had this problem on an older MacBook Pro (1st Gen) it turned out to be a dirty laser. I fixed it by blowing compressed air into the slot. If this it is just dust this should fix it but if there is a more serious problem then I think you might need to replace it or buy an external drive to burn DVDs.

  • GT735 CD/DVD Burner issues

    Was wondering if anyone else had the same issues here... got my GT735 laptop around new years.  I am unable to burn a CD and have that CD pass a burn-test (checks the CD vs the ISO it came from for equalness).  Also, burns I make end up failing for things like Linux Live CDs or install disks for various things.  Usually what happens is it works up to a point, but then a file from the CD cannot be read.
    Anyone else? Anyone have any fixes for this?

    What happened when you have generated your 2 DVD for reinstalling/restoring later your system files or entire disk?
    I didn't generate the DVDs as I didn't plan on using Vista. I just ended up wiping the hard drive clean and install Linux on it.

    - what king of CD do you use? Did you try to burn with other CD's?
    I use a variety of CDs including Maxell, Sony, Philips...

    - Did you try to burn with any other burning soft?
    Tried K3B in Linux and Nero in Windows XP
    I ran both on auto-speed so the comp would find the best speed for the CD media and the burner.
