8.2.1 Not able to burn disc.

Since the most recent upgrade I'm unable to burn disc. I've done this before many times and have never had problems, nevertheless I followed these instructions after the first attempt failed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2239
Nothing happens after step 16.
Prior to upgrade I could watch in the "Window Player" what song the system was burning, also the check marks would change to completed status. Now it just sits there with a "Player Window" that reads "Burning Disc ... finishing."
After 3 hours, I clicked the "x" in the window. It then gave a pop-up, "If you stop this disc burn, your disc will not be usable. Are you sure you want to stop?" I clicked yes.
Window reads "Canceling disc burn... this may take a minute or two" after displaying this for an hour, I had to complete a "Forced Quit" on Itunes, though itunes was responding.
I've gone thru this process three times, and all 3 disc are unusable with 0 tracks.
I'm trying to burn 15 songs I purchased today from Itunes with at total time of 1:08:04, 136MB min onto a CD-R 700MB/80MIN disc.
Anyone have a solution? Thanks.

I too am experiencing the same problems as mentioned above but I now am receiving a disc error message of "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media." This now happens whether I try to burn a Cd or try to back-up my purchases.
I have tried to burn a disc via finder first using a Itunes song file and second an Iphoto Jpeg. After both attempts I received this error code: 0x800Z006D I have not been able to find this error code.
Next I tried to put a DVD movie as well as an Apple install disc in my Superdrive. Both times the disc was spat out w/o reading. This also happens if I put in an audio CD. I've tried to install a laser lens cleaner, but this too was spat out.
Enter Utilities and clicked on Console and after I tried to load a DVD movie this message showed up in Console:
+2009-07-31 10:21:20.908 DiskImages UI Agent[252] Could not find image named 'background'.+
+Can't load ///usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi+
+Error while getting file ID of /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi. Ignoring...+
+Workaround Bonjour: Unknown error: 0+
I am now on 8.2.1(6) after having burn issues with 8.1
I am lost. Is this a hardware, program, driver issue?

Not able to burn discs after itunes upgrade...HELP!

I've never had any issues with burning cds from my Mac and iTunes until yesterday. I've tried two different brands of CD-R discs (HP and Verbatim) and one CD-RW (Fujifilm). The CD-Rs initialize for a minute, then give me the following message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to record or retry." I discussed with another Mac user who said the same thing so she tried CD-RWs and it worked. I burned 10 of the 12 songs successfully-the last two ("Thriller" by MJ and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Benetar if you must know) were of poor quality-cutting in and out, skipping a lot.
Of course, I need to burn 28 by tomorrow morning for a U10 Girls Softball Nationals gift bag...Any assistance or advice is appreciated.
I feel like if I could just uninstall the newest version of iTunes that I'd be okay. Not sure if that is the right path and not sure how to do it.
Thanks!

Me again. Figuring that I probably had too much stuff in my iTunes library taking up space, I went through and trashed a whole bunch of stuff. I emptied the trash, restarted the computer and am still unable to burn CDs. I figure it must be a problem with the latest iTunes update. Can anyone help?

Can anyoe help please ?

Hey,
Ok, your notebook isnt able to read or burn disks but what does this mean exactly?
Is your drive listed in device manager?
=> You could try to remove it and restart your notebook.
Do you see yellow exclamation marks in device manager on ODD?
=> Check the Microsoft Knowledge Base. Its known issue.
Do you get an error message if you try bruning a disk?
=> Try another burning program like CD Burner XP
Have you checked the Toshiba website for a firmware update?
Which OS you are using?
As you can see, a lot of not answered question they would be important to help you.

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

I am not able to burn a CD on Itunes

I am not able to burn a CD on Itunes. When I click burn it opens up the CD drive and I put in a black CD. When it goes back in it shows the computer is reading the disk, but then suddenly stops. No error message, just stops. At that point I did a diagnostics test and the following error appeared. Can anyone help me?
The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive D: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4020B on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.

Satellite U200: I am not able to burn DVDs

I have a problem with the burner of DVD :
Since I formated (and then reinstall with recover CD that was with computer at beggining), I am not able to burn DVDs !
How can I do to recover that !!
And also, that's weird, instead of showing one DVD player, there are 2 : One for CD, one for DVD, when it's the same...
I'm able to read DVDs, but I am not able to burn them :(

> And also, that's weird, instead of showing one DVD player, there are 2 : One for CD, one for DVD, when it's the same...
This is very strange its confusing that two ODDs appears in MY Computer
What you could do is to remove the ODD (CD/DVD) drive from the device manager and then to reboot the notebook.
Please check if the CD/DVD would be recognized correctly after the new reinstallation.

Macbook Pro not able to burn from External DVD drive

Hi there,
I just bought a Samsung SE-208DB external drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro 8,1 13inch and at first the drive was detected by my Macbook Pro and I was able ot burn a disk but now when I plug in the device, it powers on for a bit then powers off to were I can't eject the disk anymore.Then sometimes it works just fine. I am using an external USB hub with AC plug power so I am confident power to the USb isn't an issue. I just wanted to know are Macbook Pro known to have issues with external drives?
And for those wondering why I don't just use the internal DVD on my Macbook Pro, I replaced it with an SSD for dedicated Windows 7 operating system.
Any ideas on how to approached this problem? Should I just get another brand of external DVD drive. I know I can't get Apples as for some strange reason, Apple makes those only compatible with Macs that didn't come with DVD drives like the Macbook Air.
Thanks

Ok I solved it.
The problem is that the drive uses too much power from the usb port.
You can use one of those cables with on one end two usb plugs and on the other end a mini usb. Connect the coresponding usb for power to an iphone charger or any 5v/1amp charger.
Or you can do what I did. I used a usb hub. In one usb port I connected my iphone charger and the drive to another usb port on the hub.
I have just burned my first succesful disc.
Regards

I am not able to burn DVD on my Satellite A60

Hi!
I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 with a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K13A. And Every time I try to burn a dvd it doesn't work. The drive detects the dvd but I can't burn it. I've tried several burning programs such as Record Now! and Intervideo WinDvD Creator. Do I need to upgrade the burner or something.
And the format of the dvd's are DVD-R, and I checked the manual, and it says I'm able to burn DVD-R.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
On this way it is not easy to say if there is just some small problem or maybe malfunction but according to your description I presume that the drive can read but not write DVD medias. In this case it is really possible that drive is defective.
If you have tested it with different DVD medias and different burning applications I am pretty sure that drive is defective.

IMac G5 not able to burn dual-layer DVDs

My iMac should be able to burn dual-layer DVDs, but it always seems to fail part way. It manages to burn DVDs and CDs fine.
I've read about using compressed air inside the drive to clean it, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.
It's a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846 drive.

Have you tried repairing permission & restarting?
Have you tried a different brand of DVDs?

If your drive needs cleaning, cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

Every since I upgraded to iTunes 12 I am not able to burn a certain playlist to a disc. Other playlists will burn, but not this certain one.

All other playlists will burn fine, but not this one. I can even burn these individual songs to a disc but as soon as I put them all together in a play list and attempt to burn it to a disc it says, "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". I have tried multiple discs, but it doesn't help. I have even used some of the discs that didn't work to burn this particular playlist, to burn OTHER playlists. I have tried moving the songs around in a different order also. Nothing seems to work. I have never had this problem before and I am not sure what to do about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

i have the same problem how do i fix?

Im not able to burn a disc because I keep getting the message that I don't have a disc burner or software. What can I do?

Howdy franfalcon66,
