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 ?

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.

    Does every body iPad 2 terrible???can apple do something about this??upgrade perhaps??

    Kindly pardon my ignorance how one can send feed back to Apple? I am new to Apple devices. iPad2 is my first and only Apple device.
    I looked at http://www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/camera.html and felt the quality of camera is good enough for me (see one frame of the bicycle and the running girl) and was wondering what all internet sites are talking about bad mouthing about iPad2 camera??? At the end I felt above page is misleading. Apple says "an" HD camera and does not say which one front or back?  Picture Frames which are shown in iPad2 on above link does not match quality of photos or video my iPad2 takes. Are those videos n photos really taken by ipad2 cameras? which one? front or back? if not taken by iPad2 cameras than what is the use of showing them on ipad2 camera Ad page? instead could show on ipad2 video playing capability Ad page.
    Anyway, my question is are you folks getting such great quality (as in above link) from your ipad2 cameras? if so did you change some setting somewhere in iPad2? how can I improve quality of video and still images taken by my ipad2?

  • What is going on with the Iphone4 home button.  I see lots of people having issues, but not resolution.  I am running 4.2, but based on what I have read, 4.3 does not help.  Apple has to do something about this, as it is affecting lots of people.

    What is going on with the Iphone4 home button locking up?  I see lots of people having issues with the button becoming unresponsive, but no resolution.
    Suggestions include:
    Upgrade
    Restrore
    ReSync
    Push harder,
    etc.

    No they do not and no it is not affecting a large portion of the user community.
    If it is an actual hardware issue, the only fix is to repair or replace the hardware.
    If it is a software issue, restoring as new will fix it.

    Dirk, if your Mac is still under warranty, take it in to have the drive checked out. If the warranty period is over, you'll have to pay for the servicing and/or repair.

    So disappointed with IOS 6.  I'm having weak wifi connection since upgrading to it.  Can Apple do something about it? Can you at least reset it to IOS 5.1.1?

    Sorry Jim for the wrong question because I'm getting frustated with my IPAD since I can't use it for surfing internet with a faster speed.  Ipad was very convenient to use until this IOS 6 upgrade.  Tried all the suggestions in the forums but still gets back to weak wifi connection.

  • When is apple going to do something about this recent flood of spam to .mac

    when is apple going to do something about this recent flood of spam to .mac. i have had .mac for 4 years and in the last few months im getting like 10 junk mails a day. all for worthless investment tips. i came on here to find alot of others getting the same junk mail from the same sender. so it is obviously a target to .mac addresses and not just mine. come on apple, this has been happening for a few months now and is getting worse. are you going to do anyhthing about it on the server side of things? im paying over $100 for .mac and expect a fix. anybody else with this problem please please sound off here. we need a fix for this.

    yes, i agree. over 3 years with 3 .mac addresses and this is the first time i've had any sort of a problem... and it's becoming an onslaught.
    plus, not only is the mac filter not working, my mail 2.0.5 filter is not working. can someone let me know why these are not going into my junk folder? i think i've got it set up correctly as these are ticked:
    enable junk mail filtering
    move it to the junk mailbox (automatic)
    (exempt) sender in my address book
    (exempt) message is addressed using my full name
    trust junk mail headers set by my ISP
    can anyone from mac let us know that you are aware of the current problem and are at least looking into it?

  • How do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

    how do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

    Not all movies qualify for download on demand from iTunes in the Cloud, the rights may be reserved by the content provider and can vary by region. What response have you had from iTunes Store support?
    If you have still have the computer they were on it might be possible to extract the hard drive, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the content from it.

  • Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?

    Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?  I have been using PS touch for iPad for a few years and ALWAYS end up with a message that I have reached the maximum allowable number of layers.  not to mention of course a simple tool for drawing straight lines which is a must.  I may be missing something.  I would have imagined that a respectable company like Adobe would have added over the years a small upgrade to solve these issues.
    thanks. 

    Hi Patrick,
    I'm working on a 30" monitor, so it's effectively 2560x1600.  It only seems to be showing 2 tracks at a time, unless there is a preference or setting I'm missing that I can't seem to find in the documentation.  Here is a screenshot:
    I don't see any areas for expanding the timeline.  I can scroll vertically in the timeline, but I can't seem to actually get a larger static vertical area for showing more tracks at once.  The only vertical resizing widget is to expand the bottom or top panels, not the timeline.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Annoying volume display, can somebody do something about this?

    I have been an iphone/ipad user forever but somehow I feel that lately this has been bugging me a lot. Can somebody please do something about this feature, wherein that huge volume display takes over whatever you are watching everytime you adjust the volume on the iphone and the ipad?
    Does this bother others too or is it just me?

    As mentioned, this is a user to user forum.  If you don't like this feature (or anything else about iPhone for that matter), feel free to provide feedback directly to Apple via the following link:  https://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

    Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this? While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

  • Copy and paste photo to another album.hope apple will do something about this

    Copying and paste photo to different album is such a long process you need to sync your photos from your computer to
    Teh ipad.i have a samsung phone that runs with android and it much easier to do this kind of things.i love my ipad 2 but i hope apple will do something about
    Issue on the photo albums. On the advertisment of ios 5 they are saying we are making this easier but yet powerful.

    Under ios 5 you can easily copy photos from any existing slbum to a new album.. You just cannot ( or at least i cannot) put them into an existing album.

  • 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.

    Shanmu.
