Burning DVDs on my Macbook Pro 10.6.8

Can someone please help? I cannot burn any DVDs. I keep getting the following error message: (error code 0x8002006E). Thanks

Don't know what the error code means, but if you're unable to burn DVDs, it could be that your SuperDrive just isn't that "super" any longer. You may want to take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem: if it turns out that you need a new SuperDrive, you'll be much better financially getting a new one from OWC and installing it yourself (instructions on OWC's website).
The first thing you may want to try is just using another disc, though: perhaps from a different vendor? I've been using Verbatim discs for over 11 years now and have only had one bad one in the bunch...
Try another disc - or a different brand. If the problem persists, take the machine in for diagnostics. If it's a drive failure, just get a new one from OWC and install it yourself. Quite simple.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    Hello all,
    I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running 10.4.8. When I go to burn a DVD I get one of two codes 0X8002006D, 0X80020022, why is that a 3,000 CPU cant burn a DVD. My Mac is total up to date with all software and firmware. I saw in the Discussions that I'm not the first person to have this issue but I don't see an answer from Apple, I'm pretty sure it not the DVDs (Memorex DVD-R 16X) because my ****** pc can burn them and it was a 100 pack that I used about 50 from it that I burn on both Macs and the ****** PC. I also have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 2.5 GB DDR SDRAM running 10.4.8 which is also unable to burn them and it also comes up with the same errors. I have not had this issue until I updated my Macs to 10.4.8, PLEASE HELP.
    Thanks,
    Coons

    Yes I can play CDs and DVDs but I was not able to burn a 4.01GB folder, I have since decreased the folder size to 3.75 and was able to burn the DVD. I'm creating another just to double check, my G5 was unable to complete the task and I also gave a shot at a 2.77GB folder and it failed I also gave a 200Mb file a chance but it still did not burn. I was able to burn the same 200MB file on a CD, PLEASE I NEED HELP.

  • Burn DVD-9 on Macbook Pro?

    I have the last model of Macbook Pro (2.6 GHz Intel Core Duo) before the current unibody design, with the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875 drive. The DVDSP manual seems to say that I can burn DVD-9 discs with my system. Can anyone confirm this?
    And if yes, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced supplier for this type of disc?

    Go to System Profiler>System Hardware>Disk Burning.
    Look in DVD -Write
    If you see this - DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
    Your drive supports double layer burning.
    Been using Verbatim DVD+R DL inkjet printable disks for a while with no issues. I think I got them through tapeonline.com. They also stock Taiyo Yuden DVDs for a reasonable price.

  • Audio problems from burning DVD's from Macbook Pro?

    Hey guys,
    So lately I have been having problems with burning DVD.  I use either iDVD or Roxio Toast Titanium 11 too burn movies to play on my television. After burnign them I notice all of them have audio problems.  It's as if the audio is faint for the dialogue but when background music plays its blaring! I checked my TV and its definitely not my Television because sound plays from both speakers.  I was wondering if any other Macbook users had this problem or users of either of these programs had this problem because it's such a hassle burning movies without really enjoying them.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Sense Code Error 31000 while burning DL DVD Encore CS5 Macbook Pro

    While attempting to burn a Dual Layer DVD on my Macbook Pro I got this error: "Sense Code 31000" just before it started to burn.
    I changed the burn speed, verified my laptop burns DVD+R DL discs. Any help is much appreciated. Must burn a master to duplicated 100 dvds by Friday. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Sense Code errors are hardware or blank media related.
    Try to burn with other blank disc, if it does not work then the problem may be because of burner.
    Thanks,

  • How do I burn imovie to dvd on my macbook pro that can be read by dvd player to watch on my TV.

    How do I burn imovie to dvd on my macbook pro that can be read by dvd player to watch on my TV.

    Purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.

    If you are downloading via iPhoto, the movies should be downloaded directly along with the stills.

    I have a DVD with a bunch of home movies on it. When I put the DVD into my MAcBook Pro so it would burn to my computer, nothing appeared. It made a lot of noise but nothing happend to the screen. I need help!!

    Try the DVD on a console DVD player or another computer.  If plays, your super drive may need replacing.  Just trying to diagnose what's not working

    how do I copy a DVD onto my macbook pro?

    If it's a home DVD copy the files to the computer.  If it's a commercial DVD you don't because it's illegal to do that and also against the terms of use of this site to even discuss.

  • I left a dvd in my macbook pro for a while and now my computer wont recognize that there is even a disk in there, nor will it eject it. how do i get the dvd out?

    i left a dvd in my macbook pro for a while and now my computer wont recognize that there is even a disk in there, nor will it eject it. how do i get the dvd out?

    Hold down the mouse button or trackpad clicker as you start up.
    If no joy, restart and hold the Option key. This brings up the Startup Manager, which will draw an Icon for each bootable Volume. When all are drawn, the Eject key is "live".
