Can my iMac burn Lightscribe labels

Can my iMac burn Lightscribe labels on the lightscribe dvds ????

With appropriate software, yes, presuming of course you have a Lightscribe drive. The vendor of your drive should have provided software, but if not,. Lightscribe has it here:

though I don't know if it's compatible with Lion.

After using iDVD, can my iMac burn a DVD ?

After using iDVD, can my iMac burn a DVD ?
I mean how do I know whether my disk drive can write/burn DVD ?
Mine is a 24" iMac bought some 5 months ago.
Thanks

Assuming your mac has at least 25 GB's of available hard drive space on the boot volume and an S-Drive as opposed to a combo drive; the latter only reads dvd's while the former both reads and writes to dvd, then you should be able to, yes.
But follow the iMovie> iDvd Tutorial/s first.

Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

Can my iMac do lightscribe?

Can the optical drive in my iMac create Lightscribe discs or do indeed to buy a dedicated drive like the one Lacie makes for $99?

Lightscribe-cpable optical drives were never used by Apple.
In no Mac.
There are external drives capable of Lightscribe avaiable.

Can my iMac burn DVDs?

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on burning a video about 3.5GB onto a DVD. Can I do that using my IMAC / OSX?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click More Info, and look at the Disc Burning section.

Why wont Lightscribe Labeler find my drive so I can print a label on theDVD

I can't believe it but I nearly at the end of making my first DVD. Now I have one hang up that should be seemingly easy. I have a Lacie DVD burner with Lightscribe and Lightscribe DVD discs. I burn the movie fine but now I want to put a Label on the DVD. I went to the Lacie Lightscribe Labeler - picked the photo wanted as background - selected print - but now it doesn't find a drive even though I hear the player revv up - noting comes up on the list and thus I can't print - what's up?

I'm having the same trouble. I have recently changed computers. I now have an iMac. previously I had an eMac and the lightscriber burner was hooked up to that and worked fine. Now on the imac it just comes up that it can't find the device. I have checked connections, installations.... If someone has the answer it would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks

After burning a audio CD, the Create LightScribe Label window does not show

I found burning a LightScribe label after burning with iTunes directions. It says that iTunes works with Sonic Express Labeler. After burning the CD, a Create LightScribe Label window is supposed to appear. It does not. Why? Help!!
HP Pavilion a1220n Windows XP

No one answered his question. On HP it says:
Creating a LightScribe label with iTunes
iTunes works with Sonic Express Labeler to conveniently burn labels on a data CD or audio CD from iTunes. The playlist you create in iTunes to burn a disc is automatically imported into Express Labeler so that this information is available for you to use on your LightScribe label.
NOTE: To use Express Labeler from iTunes, the data or music tracks in the playlist your are using must fit on a single CD.
Click Start, All Programs, iTunes, and then click iTunes again.
Burn a data or audio CD with iTunes. When the burning process is complete, click Yes on the Create LightScribe Label window.
Make sure that Disc Label is selected in Step 1: Select Project.
Select a label template by clicking the left or right arrows next to Layout and choosing a layout.
NOTE: The various layouts show different amounts of playlist information. Some show only the playlist title, others show the playlist title and track names. You can edit the playlist information by clicking Disc Title to open the Edit Disc Title window.
Click Tracks to display the Edit Tracks window. Click New to display the Track window. Enter text to identify the first track or file (you can optionally enter artist and date, or length), and then click OK.
Repeat step 5 for each track or file on the disc.
Click the left or right arrows next to Background to select design elements for the disc. The selections you make are previewed in the disc window.
NOTE: If you use a color image, LightScribe burns it as a greyscale (monochrome) image.
When you are satisfied with the appearance of your label design, insert the LightScribe disc (label-side down) into the disc drive tray and then click Print.
From the Disc Label menu, select LightScribe 12cm Disc.
Select a Contrast Level and then click OK to begin burning the label. The estimated time to complete the label is displayed, along with a progress bar. You can continue to work on your PC while LightScribe is burning the label.
NOTE: A sudden bump or vibration of the computer during the labeling process may affect the quality of the label.
His question is why this does not happen. What version of iTunes are you using? Is an upgrade to the newest version needed? I woul dlik eto hear form others who use lightscribe with itunes and how they do it.

Burning CD Labels from ITunes to LightScribe Label

Evidently one can't print CD Labels directlty to a LightScribe Labeler
Anyone have a CD Labeler Software to recommend that will do the job. I'd like to burn the ITunes generated artwork and song lists LightScribe CD's but don't know how.
Gateway GM5420 LP Lightscribe CD Burner

I appricate you response but i have been trying different things for days prior to my post and updating itunes to the latest version and using 2.4 was one of them and i'm sorry to report this didn't help. The files that were encode with itunes that do allow songs to show up on the 360 were using tag ver. 2.3 so i didn't expect this to help.
iTunes is doing something to the files that it encodes. However if i burn the non iIunes encoded MP3's to CD-R and then let iTunes rencode the files back to MP3 again it still doesn't work. Seems as though there is something missing in these non iTunes encoded files that rencoding will not correct. This is what needs to be solved so i manully add this inorder for these files to works as the iTunes encode files.
Thanks

Need Lacie LightScribe labeler software for Mac

I just purchased a Lacie LightScribe DVDRW with USB 2.0, and the lame people at Lacie decided to not give me a copy of their Lacie lightscribe software (after I kindly asked them) even though it would (according to them) work perfectly well with my USB 2.0 drive. For some unexplained reason, they would only bundle the software with the Firewire version of the drive.
So anyway, I'm wondering if anyone can point me to some place, or can "give me" a copy of the software.
I hate to purchase another Lacie drive just to get this software... which is kind of what the Lacie support rep hinted me to do ......

Yi,
Of course the drive works with the Mac.
However, continue down the page, and you will see:
"Mac software not included"
It is less expensive, as it does not include the licensed Mac software. Some people already have the software.
So, you may ask, how can I use the drive with my Mac then?
- the drive will work for burning data CDs and DVDs on the Mac after installing the Disc Burning Profile for 10.3.x and 10.4.x; drive will work with itunes, iPhoto, and Finder to burn discs. This profile is a free download at our website. It will NOT provide LightScribe labeling capability.
I am sorry that this was not clear to you; I still recommend that you exchange the drive for a model compatible with your computer, or return for a refund.
Mike

LightScribe Labels

HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Printer
Windows Vista 32-bit
HP Photosmart C8100 is enable to print directly on CD/DVD (massage in HP Photosmart Essential 2.5)
No changes (not working from beginning)
As I can not get information anywhere else I would ask: Is it possible to print LightScribe Pictures Labels (sent to C8180 printer, using WiFi network, from my Laptop) I can not use HP Photosmart Essential 2.5 to do this, as this program show me every time massage that my C8180 is not capable to do this. I can only print LigtScribe Labels directly from panel of my C8180 printer (only simply one - just letters).

Are you referring to regular CD labels?
LightScribe is a special type of disc and CD/DVD burner to burn the label directly into the disk rather than printing on it. LightScribe is completely separate from any printer.
Try reviewing HP's LightScribe site for more information.

How do I deal with this error message when burning DVD's: The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

I am getting this error message when trying to burn a DVD: The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8 Memorex DVD-R 12x Any ideas?

First, try a different batch of recordable DVDs. If you still have problems, you may want to make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked. The drive may be failing.

The disc can't be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).

Hello - I am receiving this error code on all my Apple computers (iMac and MacBook) which have the most current Mac OS X 10.6.7. I'm a photographer and burn CDs frequently and out of the blue began having issues two days ago:
The disc can’t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).
What is the remedy? Is it related to a recent update or will there be an update to fix? Since it's not simply one computer, gathering it's not the burn drive but software related...
FYI - Yes I've tried other brands of disk, etc. however, this is a part of my daily work-flow and have had no issues till a couple days ago.
Thank you all and any for your time in assisting!!

Same here. I bought a macbook pro in march. Now I got this error. And I'm from Brazil... Not speak english very well, but tried to explain what happens with my new macbook (that can't burn DVD)...
Please, could you help me?
thanks

Can ITunes be burned using Roxie Toast?

I have a internal burner and I use Toast to burn all my stuff The mac burning software is way to slow!!! Can ITunes be burned using a newer version of Toast? doe it have to be a OS 10 Version so it works??? I am using Toast Lite 6.0.7L but does not work with burning ITunes. Will Toast Titanium @ $79.99 work???
Thanks

Toast does support AAC (m4a) but not Protected AAC (m4p).
Older versions of Toast did support P. AAC, but Roxio had to remove the feature.
This is part of the Toast 6.1 Version history:
Following discussions with Apple, this version will no longer allow customers to create audio CDs, audio DVDs, or export audio to their hard drive using purchased iTunes music store content.
All versions of QuickTime after 6.5.2. also prevent burning protected music (other than with iTunes).
This is what it says when I drag a protected song to Toast 7.0.2 (the latest version):
"Songname" was not added.
Only Apple applications, such as iTunes, are
permitted to burn purchased content.

That's an HP specific tool. Maybe call HP Customer Service to see if it works if you use iTunes?

My Mac OSX is coming up with error message when i try to write a disc "The disc can't be burned because the disc drive is not accessible (error code 0x80020020)." Same also when I tried my external disc writer-any clues?

My Mac OSX (version 10.7.5) is coming up with error message when I try to write a disc "The disc can’t be burned because the disc drive is not accessible (error code 0x80020020)."

Hi Klaus1
So, I tried all the suggestions and followed the links - all to no avail.
as you can see, (screenshot below) my iMac is a 21.5 inch late 2009 model which isn't showing in the updates listed above
My system report shows that my Mac has the following:
I reset the PRAM and the SMC - still have the same error message when I try to burn discs. I've used both CD's and DVD's and tried with my external Discwriter too.
Any further suggestions??
