Burned data to CDR now it's Locked

I burned a file off of my wifes G4 FP iMac 800 and am trying to open it on my G4 MDD but it says the disk is locked. Both using Mac OS 10.4 (hers 10.4.5 and mine 10.4.9)
I selected 'get info' and unlocked the lock icon and still it will not let me in.
Any help please?

Actually, thinking it through ...
Originally I was double clicking the file on the CD-R thinking it would open and launch the appropriate app, but kept getting a 'this disk is locked' dialog. Get Info showed a locked icon which I unlocked (for the disk), to no avail, same 'disk is locked' dialog box.
Later I tried launching the appropriate app and used File/Open to no avail - disk was still being reported as locked.
Finally just dragged the file to my desktop and no problem.
So, at this point I am only trying to understand just what was going on. Does this sound 'typical' or 'atypical'.
Seems to me if the CD-R is unlocked I should be able to just open the file from the CD-R with the appropriate app on my HD.
Maybe not? I'm always in the 'learning curve'.
TY

  • I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. As I did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the dull amount, will they unlock my phone

    I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. i did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the full  amount, will they unlock my phone

    AT&T has not as of yet announced any plans to unlock an iPhone that was purchased as locked to them. Whether or not they will do so in the future, only AT&T would know, and they probably will not say unless and until they're ready to make an official announcement.  There is nothing Apple can do for you in this matter unless you are still within the timeframe for returning the iPhone.

  • ITunes 7.3.1/Burning Data CD's or DVDs

    I've been burning DVDs and CDs for a long time now through iTunes. But it seems that since I've updated to the new 7.3.1 verson of iTunes, I can't burn Data on either my Mac or my PC. For my Mac, it says that the burn speed is too fast. Even when I've lowered it to 1x. It won't burn at all. For my PC, I was able to burn DVDs for a brief time after I updated to 7.3.1 but now I get an error "the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occured (261)" I've been using the same DVDs and CDs for years and never had a problem. I also gave my co-worker a disc that failed in my machine and he was able to write on it with no problems.
    My co-worker and I have the same PC and he is able to burn DVDs fine and he updated his iTunes as well. Does ANYONE have an answer for me? I'm stumped and there doesn't seem to be anything written up on this error.

    I also had some trouble getting my point across the first time. I clearly explained that I know how to do a backup. I am writing to you about an ERROR MESSAGE, not a how to procedure. From that point on, they were quite understanding and they stopped talking down to me.
    I had also written about the 261 error. Although they never gave me a solution, they did write a few times with some temporary suggestions.
    At least they assured me that the backup errors were well documented and that a new version was being worked on. They even went so far as to tell me last night that the version was coming out today.
    They obviously need a better way to communicate to the whole community, at one time, in one place. I was happy to get their ear and know someone with the ability to fix it, was fixing it.
    As I said before, 7.2 will be on my computer for a very long time. It has everything I want and need and it works perfectly. That is MY SOLUTION. I have no desire to be an unpaid volunteer to test their software.
    We all know that 7.3 had to be released, ready or not, to correspond to the IPHONE release. The wealth of error in the latest version are directly related and not a surprise.
    I wish you well.

  • Error Burning Data to DVD-R's

    I have been trying to burn data to a DVD-R with my MAC Dual2.S GHz PowerPC GS with OS X (version 10.3.9) and have been getting an error every time.
    I am using DVD-R Verbatime DVD's (16x) and have tried more than one DVD at more than one speed without success.
    One other person in my office (with the same computer) has the same problems (with the same DVDS) and two others in my office seemed to be able to get it to work and we cannot figure out vi-by since the variables appear to be the same.
    My error occurs only after I try and burn the disc. I seem to have no problem coping data to the DVD but when I go to burn it appears to work at first and than I get an error message which reads:
    'Burning disc: "name*
    An error occurred while burning this disc. This disc can not be used.*
    Another box also always pops up asking to name the blank DVD (which I already had when the DVD was inserted).
    Can you help with this issue?
    Thank you.

    Hi Amrick:
    Welcome to discussions!
    You really should not be asking this in this forum. Better to post in the iDVD forums from now on...
    But, may I suggest that you use Verbatim DVD-R at 4x or slower to burn. Plus you need to wait for iDVD to ask you to insert the disk prior to inserting it.
    Read these:

  • I created an album and have been showing it presentation style, ken burns effects etc. Now every time I try to re-run it it starts from the end, last picture first! Can't seem to be able to reverse it. Any clue anyone?

    I created an album and have been showing it presentation style, ken burns effects etc. Now every time I try to re-run it it starts from the end, last picture first! Can't seem to be able to reverse it. Any clue anyone?

    First try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset iPhoto's preferences and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    Next, if necessary, continue with the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How burn data CD or DVD with documents/songs not in iTunes Library?

    How do I burn data CD/DVD with items not located in iTunes Library? Prior to the update to iTunes 8.0.2, I could burn Data CDs/DVD from my desktop - these were documents files, and audiobooks/songs not located in iTunes Library. Now I can't get the burn preferences window to show up. Something has changed in the iTunes 8.0.2 update which keeps me from burning anything that is not in iTunes library. Please advise. Thank you.

    Dear Zevoneer,
    As a test, I created a New Burn Folder on the desktop, transferred aliases for music and documents not in iTunes Library, totaling about 2.5GB. I burned all on to a 4.7 GB DVD-R. Everything burned properly and quickly as usual. And each item is an accurate replica of my files.
    Perhaps I was wrong in thinking that a few months ago when I burned non-iTunes Library items, I always got a Burn Preferences Window on my desktop. No matter, it all went well. And I also learned that we now burn songs in iTunes only via the playlist window, where "Burn" brings on the Burn preferences choices.
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    Generosa

  • ITunes burns data cds only, not audio cds (CD diagnostics included)

  • Didn't set up passcode on ipad now I'm locked out

    Upgraded to the new IOS7 last night and skipped setting up passcode.  Now I'm locked out

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I did a hard reset to fix a frozen app. Now the number lock comes up straight away and will not accept my number. Was there ever a default number. Any help apreciated Alan.

    I did use the number lock then i did a gard reset to resolve a frozen app. Now the number lock will not accept my number. Is there a default number, or can I somehow disable the number lock?

    There is no default passcode that will unlock your iPad.
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    You will probably have to use recovery mode

  • I finally upgraded my phone and now I am locked out because my password wont work what do i do?!?!?

    SO its finals time and while i was studying I decided i was going to update my phone to IOS 7 i went down to the study room and i came back and tried to unlock my phone  and now I am locked out because my password wont work and its the same password I have had for a long time! I have a Macbook Pro wiht Itunes and it wont let me hook up the phone because there is a pasword on it, so do i just have to bite the bullet and reset it? if so how do i do so with out bing able to conect to the computer?
    Thank you so much
    JP

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Previously burned data DVD comes up "blank"

    My previously burned data DVD's are now coming up as "untitled"  and blank. However, my dvd will read a movie DVD. These discs are perfectly clean of smudges/scratches. These discs open fine on my other iMac.
    The DVD will read data and music cds.  Why would it not read all my DVD-r back up discs? Help, please.

    Not yet, but again I cannot see the relevance to dust particles being the issue if the laser reads video DVDs just fine. And it reads CDs just fine.
    Maybe this has something to do with the DVDs? These are stored stacked inside a plastic container in a cabinet.
    I am leaning more in the area of a defective SuperDrive or at leaset in the Superdrive firmware? Something set this off, but I have not updated any software since this happened.
    I'm heading out the door and will pick up a cleaning cloth. I seriousely doubt this is the issue but will try it for the sake of eliminating another step.
    Thank you for your replies. Any other suggestions are surely welcome.

  • MAT**bleep**A SR-8175 won't recognize burned data cds

    I did a fresh Windows 2000s install on an A21 P.  Everything is fine, except that the dvd/cd drive will not recognize or read burned data cds.  It reads store bought data cds, store bought music cds and burned music cds, but not burned data cds (I have not tried any dvds).
    I tried to use the lenovo thinkpad optical drive update cd to see if it needed a firmware update, but of course it can't read the cd because it was burned.
    There is a floppy optical drive checker also from lenovo.  That showed no drive.
    Thanks in advance

    Although, since when has a DVD that was rated for a higher speed NOT been able to be burned at a slower/lower speed?
    Since always, if the data layer in the disc is sufficiently different from what the drive expects. In a high-speed drive, a disc with a high speed rating can be burned at any speed within the drive's range, often including very low speeds. But in a low-speed burner, high-speed media may not be usable at any speed, because its data layer is very different from what the drive was designed to work with. You may not be able to see the difference easily, but the drive does, and rejects the disc thinking it's defective.
    Back before DVD drives and media were common, this problem arose all the time with people trying to read early CD-RW discs in the CD-ROM drives of older Macs: it couldn't be done. When the speed ratings of CD-R media skyrocketed to 48x and 52x, some CD-ROM drives couldn't read the high-speed CD-R media either, though that problem was less common.
    When optical drives generally cost upwards of $200-250, it was hard to tell anyone that the simplest solution was to replace the outmoded drive with something newer and more capable. Now that you can buy a slot-loading high-speed dual-layer DVD burner with all the bells and whistles for under $100, it behooves anyone who can use those capabilities to go ahead and get one. As for me, I've never tried to burn a DVD in my UJ-815, and now that slow media are almost impossible to find, I probably never will. If I decide to burn more than one or two DVDs sometime, I'll replace my drive. You might save yourself some hassle by doing the same.
    As for -RW media, I never bother with it: it's way overpriced and too often has problems. I've always had good luck with the cheapest CD-R discs on sale at Costco, Staples, etc. for about 15 cents apiece in large packages. I occasionally burn an archival disc using high-priced 200-year Delkin or MAM-A media, but for the most part, cheapies serve me fine.

  • I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.
