Burn CD - never finishes

When I (rarely) burn a Playlist to CD, the disc gets burned, but iTunes 8 hangs during "finishing burn to disc"
It took a minute to burn the playlist, but I waited 25 minutes for the "finishing" to finish, but it never did.
Any ideas what's going on?
Also: I quit iTunes, and now cannot open my DVR-112 writer - pain.

Update:
It turns out that my DVR-112 apparently won't write CD-Rs at all any more...
Neither iTunes nor Toast 9 will write the discs.
In Toast9, when it starts the audio CD write, it fills the cache, then begins to "write lead-in", tries ten (?) times, then I eventually get an error -
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x0C
Write Error
The media is high quality Verbatim CD-R.
NOTE: Both my DiskUtility and Toast writes DVD-Rs just fine though.

Never finishes

I'm trying to make a DVD of my daugther (which i've done successfully in the past with iDVD 4 & 5 but never with 6 - on an older mac I no longer have). Everything seems fine until the end when the disc is kicked out but it never finished the burn and never asks if I want more copies made. I have to force quit iDVD and the DVD won't play on anything, including the mac. I'm using a MacBook Pro and have a buge stack of failed attempts of various projects. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

I have also had this problem ever since I upgraded in Panther. I upgraded to Tiger 10.6 hoping it would have been resolved still having problem.
I have burned many many DVD's successfully ( slideshows of scanned .tiff files)
Suddenly after panther upgrade to date, it says "Image Incomplete" Cleaning up.
It will stay there forever. I do a force quit and open IDVD project and hit burn to begin again. This adds hours to the projects as it has to encode everything again!
One gentleman said to have under Project: the item Best Performance clicked on and not "Best Quaility" and it should work. I did this, it did work one time and then it went back to the same problem.
I am running Tiger 10.6 On PowerMac G4 and same problem on G4 Tower Quicksilver. Both have same problem.
I am burning onto DVD-R Maxell 8X Disks. By the way, the projects are complete and the DVD's have been burned successfully and playback on all DVD's - it's just the encoding and reburning that is messed up.
I think this is a bug, there are a lot of people complaining about this.

IMovie Never Finishes Optimizing on Import?

So, I am attempting to import a bunch of .MPG files that I had copied to my desktop from a Sony Handycam, into iMovie. This is a project I'm going to be working with in class at my school. Also, another note: I never had this issue when using Mac OS X v10.7.x (Lion).
Now, at first I just let the "Optimize Video" stay checked, as I figured default import settings would be best. But as it never progressed, and never finished, I had to force quit iMovie, and I then tried again, this time with the "Optimize Video" unchecked. This did unfortunately not make any difference.
Could anyone help me figure out a solution to this problem? I really need iMovie for this project.
Thank you in advance!

I'm having a problem encoding a Quicktime MPEG-4
movie from a 1 hour DV project. iMovie never
finishes even after leaving it running overnight.
After 10 hours of processing, iMovie still says it
needs over 1500 minutes to complete. This is the
same estimate when I left it the night before.
I have been successful converting other 1 hour DV
movies to Quicktime MPEG-4 using the same process.
Typically, this involves restarting my iBook G4
1.42GHz 1GB so no other apps are still running.
The project I'm trying to convert is a 15.5GB file.
I have 12.5GB of free disk space on my 60GB drive.
I am able to send this problem project to iDVD to
create a DVD for playback in a standalone DVD
player.
Any tips on how to get this encoding to finish?
iBook G4 1.42GHz 1GB
memory 60GB hdd Mac OS X (10.4.3)
iMovie 5.0.2 (111)
Your problem may be from a lack of adequate ram. If you don't have enough memory ram to process your project, it will continue to attempt to run. You may also get error messages stating that your project is too big and may not be able to burn it to DVD. Or, you may not have the right operating system. Depending on which OS you have, may create problems. I too experienced the same problems you have. Also, if you recently upgraded your OS, you may need to update your system firmware, if you haven't already done so. Installing new system software doesn't automatically update your systems firmware, you need to go to Tech Support, or do a search on apples support site, for the latest firmware updates. Once you've found your firmware updates, download and install it to your computer and click update if your computer asks if you want to do this. Hope this helps.

ColdFusion with IIS URL Rewrite - Page never finishes loading

I am running CF10 on IIS 7.5 with URL Rewrite module installed.
All the rewrite rules work perfectly and ColdFusion is returning the correct pages. In order to get the page displayed in the browser I have to manually set the 'content-length' value in Application.cfc like this:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="onRequestEnd">
<cfheader name="Content-Length" value="#getPageContext().getCFOutput().getBuffer().size()#" />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Without this code the browser does not display the page. However, even though it is now displaying the page, it is not doing it correctly. The page never finishes loading fully and not all of the HTML content seems to be on the page.
I have tried to add a <cfflush> tag after setting the 'content-length' but it makes no difference. I don't understand why this is happening but I know that it has happened to someone else who was using htaccess: http://forums.devshed.com/coldfusion-development-84/page-not-finishing-loading-coldfusion- and-htaccess-bug-575906.html
Can anyone please help?

Hi guys,
I would like to do url rewriting on our CF app but am worried I'll break something if I try and do it myself - is there anyone who would be interested in a bit of consultancy to help us achieve this?
I want to turn http://www.allchichesterjobs.com/search-results.cfm?sector=21&q=part-time-jobs
into http://www.allchichesterjobs.com/part-time-jobs
I've tried this using IIS and URL Rewrite, when I browsed to http://www.allchichesterjobs.com/search-results.cfm?sector=21&q=part-time-jobs
my browser was redirected to http://www.allchichesterjobs.com/part-time-jobs ok - but then I got a 404 error
I'm wondering if I can pay someone to remote view my screen while we talk on skype and tell me what to do?
Hope it's ok to post this sort of request on here
Thanks very much indeed.

Hello everyone! I am having issues with my MacBook Pro early 2011 13 in. When I boot up it starts to boot up and never finishes. The screen just continues to have the apple and spinning circle on it. Any recommendations?

When restarting my computer the screen is freezing on the apple and spinning icon. It never finishes booting. Anyone know how to fix this?

Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Reports never finish running

Reports in Config Manager when run in the browser often (not always) do not finish when we run them, they just hang on the spinning circle. Searching pointed me to this thread: Report
never finishes, but our net admin said our HTTPS idle timeout is set to a minimum of 4 hours. However, if I log in locally to the reporting services server and run the reports from there, they finish immediately. This confuses me.
If we can open the Reporting Services site locally on our workstation, what could be causing this issue?

Well, I feel ridiculous.
I noticed on the SQL server itself where I ran the report, the browser was still IE8. This made me think to try putting the reporting services site into compatibility mode. Sure enough, the report rendered immediately.
A third computer I tested has IE11 and ran the report OK, but the version number was older (my workstation is most recent, the third computer, a server, has an older build of 11.0.9600.17207).

HT1373 I have a new Ipad with retina display but two issues with itunes 1) I can not syncronize films&music with the library on my mac and 2) When I download music or films from itunes to my ipad from itunes store the download never finishes. Any help??

I have a two problems with my new Ipad 2 operating system iOS 6.1.3
1) I can not syncronize with my itunes purchaces that I have on my mac book pro (operating system mountain lion)
2) When i purchase items from itunes store the downloads never finishes
I have tried starting and re-starting. Resetting the Ipad to original settings and non of this have worked. Any idea to what I should do?
Thanks a lot, Josephine

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

I rented a movie a few hours ago and never finished it. I can't view it on my Apple TV nor on my Computer. When I go to rent it again it says you have already rented this movie, but I can't find it anywhere. How do I watch the remainder of the rental?

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

thanks in advance.

In addition to jochen2d you can try this, albeit, requiring much more effort.
Live partition your external HD and make a 2nd partition of about 10-12 GB, call it installer. Then eject the hard drive.
Plug in your DVD drive, put in the installation disc. Fire up Disk Utility and make a new image with the DVD as your source material. Once this is done you'll have a disk image on your Desktop (or wherever you decided to save it). You'll then to scan the image for restore.
Once this is done, eject the disc and then unplug the external drive.
Plug the USB drive back in, and open up Disk Utility again (if you closed it).
Select the install partition you created and then click on the restore tab. Your source is the .dmg of the installation disc you created and your target is the install partition you created.
When this is done you can now run the installer partition and have an exact replica of the DVD installation media with your backup accessible.
Or as jochen2d recommended, you could go out and buy a $29 powered USB hub.

Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

I have the same problem.. latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) and latest version of ios (7.1) but it gets stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" and I can't cancel the sync manually. It doesn't cancel on it's own either (at least not the 8 hours over night that it was syncing) and if I unmount the phone then the phone keeps the sync going (the little spinning arrows in the upper left corner) and doesn't recognize that it's been disconnected..
I've tried restoring the phone (with little success, managed to get one more song on there) and syncing over wi-fi but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts, anyone?

Photoshop CS5 Video Render Never Finishes; Mac and Windows

Hello,
I've tried rendering a video using Photoshop CS5 and it never finishes. The progress bar reaches the end but the process never completes. The video is only three seconds long (it's the video rendering exercise in Adobe Photoshop CS5: Classroom in a Book, Lesson 12). A 3D postcard is being rendered. First, I tried the settings in the book, H.264, Medium (quality), 15 FPS, 700 x 700, one-pass. That is only 150 frames! It never finished. Since then, I've tried all sorts of output formats from a 70 x 70 pixel WMV file to standard-def DV/DVCPRO NTSC. Nothing finishes. My Mac Pro has 12 GB of RAM with over 8 GB free. Photoshop is at the latest update.
Now, here is the kicker. I had my students try the exercise in the lab at the university where I teach. We have very up-to-date Windows PCs in our lab and Photoshop CS5. The exact same thing happened on the PCs with six of six students, the render never finished.
I've searched to no avail for a posting about this problem. I'm stumped. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

The serial number is platform specific. So your current serial number will only work on the Mac platform. You will want to purchase an additional license for Windows. Alternately once the Creative Cloud is available you can subscribe have one install under Mac OS and another under Windows of the soon to be current version, CS6, if you would like. You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html?promoid=JQPEQ.

Movies begin to download to my iPad. iTunes says it is processing but the download never finishes.

When I try to download a movie to my iPad, ITunes says it is processing, but it never finishes.

Hi jeotoole,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to quit the iTunes Store app and sign out of your iTunes Store account on your iPad.
Then restart / reset the device.
When you sign back in, you should be able to re-initiate the download.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If these two options don't resolve your issue, then see page 119 in the iPad User Guide to Reset All Settings
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Hopefully, this will get you back on track ...

Cannot restore previous profile in ipad after updating to iOS 8, it never finishes

iPad 64M, wireless, IOS 8
I updated my ipad to IOS 8, which erased everything from it. At reboot, when asked to set it up as a new ipad or restore a previous profile, I selected previous profile and let it go.
I have not been able to restore my ipad. It does the restore but i never finishes copying the apps. Very few things work.
Is anyone getting the same problem?

Hi Tripix,
I understand it starts the restore from your previous backup but never finishes.
Here is an article for help with restoring from your backup.
iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
Depending on how much you are restoring, it can take quite a while.
Best regards,

Having trouble with imports never finishing

I am having trouble with imports that never finished. It is almost like the pictures are stuck on one image. the only way to get out of Iphoto is to force quit. The next time I open, there are a number of images that still need to be imported, but the import never finishes and seems to stop at the same image. When I go to close down I get the message that Photos are being imported to the library.
Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks

Photo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check out your iPhoto library and make sure all photos are viewable and there. Force quitting when iPhoto is working can corrupt the database file, Library6.iPhoto. Make a backup copy of it and save in another folder.
First make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder. Now download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Open iPhoto and see if it will work OK.
If not, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Lastly use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Do you Twango?
