Can I burn a blueray disc on my Imac

Would like to know if I can even burn a blu ray disc using HD/BD Toast plug in. My Imac just keeps popping out the RW Memorex single layer BD_RE disc.

As far as I know, the plugin simply increases the quality to dupe the disk into thinking it is a bluray disk - the instructions say to use a regular disk. And no, your Superdrive or Mac cannot burn to a bluray disk - you would need an external bluray burner for that.

Can't burn data to a CD because iMac doesn't recognize CD has been inserted. Also, can't eject. What to do?

Can't burn data to a CD because iMac doesn't recognize that a CD has been inserted. Also, it won't let me eject the disk. How do I get my iMac to let me burn the data to the CD and eject the disk?
Finder currently has 2 "Untitled CD"s listed in it. One has been in there for months (without a CD inserted into the machine). I have tried several times unsuccessfully to remove the item from finder.

Please reset the SMC and PRAM 2-3 times each using the instructions in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603. Then attempt to eject. If that fails please use one of Kappy's ideas:
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Can't Burn Playlists to Disc ... Error 43 ... iTunes was Not Properly Installed ... Diagnostics Included

Hi. Immediately after installing iTunes a dialogue window appears stating that "itunes was not properly isntalled. if yuou wish to import or burn cds you need to reinstall itunes." This happens even after I complete the installation w/ antivirus disabled. Indeed, I am unable to burn playlists to cds. Upon attempting to do so, iTunes produces the ambiguous error message: "Disc Recording not found ..."
My instinct tells me this is a problem w/ the GEAR driver software. I've uninstalled the driver manually, and then reinstalled it as per: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308 (Solution 3). Still, the problem persists.
Any ideas?????

If it's any help I have found I can't burn discs any longer in this precise version of iTunes. I have gone back to the previous version where everything is fine in this respect. My symptoms were not quite the same as yours but the result was the same - I couldn't burn discs. Yours is the first post on this I've found so I suspect Apple may not be aware of the issue or it is affecting relatively few users. If I find a solution I will post again and meanwhile hope that the next update solves the problem.

Can't Burn Playlist - Blank Disc Ejects

I have been trying to burn a playlist to CDs. The first disc burned without a problem. However, when ITunes called for insertion of a second blank disc, it started to initialize then ejected the disc. I have not been able to get anything more burned, except me. The ITunes support pages have been useless and I have spent 6+ hours trying to figure out this problem. Is there any way to speak with a person or have an e-mail conversation with someone who can provide technical support for this problem. The "support" pages don't provide any access to anyone that could probably help me. Thanks.
P.S. The discs are recognized by and writeable from other programs.

EUREKA for CD not burning on iTunes! For me after spending hours trying to solve this issue, I went to
Edit (on iTunes), Preferences, Advanced, Burning and changed to "Audio" CD. I felt pretty stupid. Somehow the setting got changed. Hope it might work for your.

Can not burn dvd rw disc

Since downloading 7.2 I every time iI try to back up my purchased music play list on a dvd rw I tunes tells me to insert a blank disk. On the old version of I tunes I never had this problem. There is nothing wrong with my dvd burner as iI went to the burning software that came with my computer and had no problem using a rw dvd. this proves to me it must be a bug in the new itunes software. can someone confirm this.

Hi - I am having a similar problem although I use DVD+R. The backup seems to work (I dont get an error message) but at the end there are no files on the disk and when I try to use the disk again I am told that it's not a blank disk!

Can't burn images to disc *SOLVED THANKS*

I have a Satellite M200, with a dvd ram drive. I have managed to burn music onto a CD-r but have had no luck burning photos/videos. when i try to copy onto the drive it tells me the drive is not accessible. I am technologically challenged and feeling quite frustrated by this. Thanks for any suggestions.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Happy to share, and the answer I found on this forum, someone had a similar question. From memory it was to right click on the drive, go to properties, recording tab and tick the option to burn to CD. Managed to burn video clips after that.

I can not burn a DVD-R in my Imac!

Error: The burn to the OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5690H drive failed. The disc drive did not respond enquiry.c and can not recover or retry.

Ffirst and foremost you have to use the very best in blank media, like Maxell, Sony, or one of the many others. Next is the disc burning software you use. Last what is the content, movies, data, or anything it may be. (EXAMPLE) Some users have had issues burning from Microsoft Office Software. More info would surely help.

Can't install CS3 from discs on my iMac

With the "application" disc in the computer, it will start running the install. Then it stops, spits out the CD and asks for the Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2 disc. Where is that? Be nice if the discs were labeled plainly!
I went online, found that application, downloaded it, burned a disc and tried installing again.
Once again, it stops and asks for the Toolkit, but when I put in my burned disc it tells me that I can't install two things at the same time.
I'm going quite nuts. I need to be able to run the programs that I PAID FOR but CAN'T INSTALL. Help me please!!!!

don't burn a disk. just install from the installation files like they were designed to be used.

Why can't I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro ?

I transferred some video footage to "iMovie' for editing and when I tried to burn it to a dvd disc, there was no option for that operation. All of the choices were to transfer it to You Tube, of facebook.Can I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro laptop or not?

If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"

I can't burn a playlist because computer isn't authorized. Error shows old email address. How do I correct that?

Hi,
I created a playlist and I want to burn it to a disc. However, I got a message that stated that certain songs were not authorized to play on this computer. In the message box it listed an incorrect email address. I tried to change it but that didn't work I don't know how to correct it so all of the songs I chose can be burned to the disc. What do I do?
How do I deauthorized an old computer?

Hi Murphy1942,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some information on authorizing iTunes purchases that may help:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Cheers,
- Ari

DVD-RW can't burn

Hello. I have a problem with my dvd-rw. I have HP Probook 4525s.
When start burning a dvd, at 2% progress stop and receive error "Burning Process Failed". I can't burn files to disc.
I have windows 8, any solutions?
I use nero for burning, but i try other softwares, the error is same (2% - burning process failed).

Try using a different brand name of disc _ avoid using cheap bargain no-name brands, especially when it come to re-writable discs_ use something like Verbatim.
Make sure your lens is clean, gently clean with a Q-tip and 99% Isopropyl alcohol.
It also depends what you burning, I believe Nero has Cinavia detection in it now.
Use Imgburn, it's free and works better the most paid for programs.
99.9% of burning problems are to do with the media you're using and very rarely the software.

Burning DVD-RL discs

Anyone successfully burned DVD-RL discs with the iMac? I'm using Toast 8.0.1 and running Leopard and so far my failure rate has been 100%. The discs fail at different places with different errors with both hardware and verify errors.

I'm not familiar with "DVD-RL" -- and don't see it mentioned on any iMac spec sheet.
If you meant "DVD-R DL", it wasn't supported by the built-in "superdrive" until the most recent generation ALU iMacs. See the thread linked below for more details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196774
BTW, my 20" white iMac burns "DVD+R DL" media with no problem (but only at 2.5x speed, as specified).

Can HP 15-d103tx play dual layer dvd or Blueray discs

I would like to know if my HP 15 d103tx notebook can play dual layer dvd's and blueray discs.

Hi:
Below is the link to the product specs page.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04206739&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
All it states is it comes with a SuperMulti DVD burner.
It will play dual layer disks if you see a small DL on the DVD bezel.
It will definitely not play blu-ray disks.

I can not burn CD's with my Itunes anymore. It tells me I am missing CD burner and to re download ITunes. I have done that and it stills does not work. Every time I try, Disc Recorder not found keeps coming up! Please someone help me!!!

I can not burn a CD with my itunes anymore. It tells me to re download itunes. I have done that and still have the same problem. When I do try, Missing disc recorder keeps coming up. Please help!!!!

Hello again, Stew.
Also when I open itunes it gives me a warning and says "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importingand burning cd's and dvds are missing. Please reinstall itunes."
With that one let's first try a reboot and repair.
Reboot the PC (very important), and the do a *repair install* of iTunes.
Go to your "Add or Remove Programs" control panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch without the error message now?
If no luck there, try checking for a device filter conflict in your registry:
