Can't burn a cd after 10.4.10 install on MBP

Updated my MacBook Pro to 10.4.10 via the Combi installer the other day, and now I can't burn a cd. Neither from Finder or in Waveburner. Coincidence? Or has my Superdrive suddenly lost the plot...

Another interesting idea. Didn't seem to do it for me. Went down to 2x, tried both my built-in and my external drives. One change is that I now see the "preparing disc" progress bar before getting the "canceling disc burn..."
Interesting, to compare with Kevin's, is that if I have a disc already inserted, it ejects and I need to re-insert.
I might try downgrading to 10.4.6 if I can figure out how to do it, and maybe to iTunes 6.0.4 (if I can find an installer). I'll report any results.
I sure hope this is some simple bug that gets fixed soon...

Can't burn blank CD after installing CD that came with ipod nano

Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software - I have the system prefs set to launch Toast 6 when inserting a blank disk, and the drive just churns and then ejects the CD. It mounts and runs burned music and data disks with no problem.
My job requires me to burn data disks from pictures I take at work. Should I re-install Toast? The OS? I ran Disk Utility to check/fix permissions, and no change.

The CD that came with the nano won't have anything on it that you won't get with a full iTunes install. In fact, it may have been an OLDER version of the iTunes software than what you had installed before.
I'd reccomend downloading the latest version of iTunes from Apple and installing that to rule out software reversion issues.
If the problem still exists, try booting into toast before inserting the blank disk and see if Toast can still burn to the CD. If it can, then odds are you have to re-instruct your computer to boot toast when a blank CD is inserted. If it can't see the blank CD, or the Finder spits it out again, then I think you'd have to re-install Toast.

2 medical softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install but IExplorer succeded

Hello,
We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
Thanks

I am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
Sorry I was not precise...
When the file should open,
for one application an error is happening,
for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening in adobe reader window...
If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
But something seems not finish for the medical softwares...

Can not Burn CD/DVD after update to 10.6.7

Since I have updated to 10.6.7 from 10.6.6, I can't burn a DVD or CD in the Super drive. I switched back to 10.6.6 and everything worked, switching back to 10.6.7, no burning can happen. The burn file locks and would not allow the lock to be removed from the "Get Info" in the file sec. Any solution? please help

Downloaded the Combo Update (other than the one intended for 'early 2011 MBP', and it will not run on this computer. Says something like it is not authorized, or not intended for this computer. Did re-run the update for 'early 2011 MBPs' same result. Was able to solve the font display issue, but not the incorrect icon issue, and FaceTime will not run at all. Says it is not designed for the OS I have on this computer, and will not even start. I have tried to go to the AppStore, just to see if I can download the latest version - no dice. Won't let me download it. Says FT already installed on this computer. Tried deleting FT, and then downloading - same message. ?????

Can't burn a disc after updating to Yosemite

I have a 2009 21.5in desktop, and I've never had an issue burning discs of photos, until now. When I insert the discs, they are ejected and I am prompted to insert a blank disc. These ARE blank, I bought the pack 2 days ago. Photos are .jpg format, and I'm running into this issue on all platforms, whether I try to burn from Lightroom 5 or from the Finder. It seems the drive is attempting to read them, because I can hear it engage, but then it auto-ejects them. I need to get these photos to a family for Christmas cards! Help!

Brasero: Can't burn. Fails after checking image with GDBus.Error

Hey Guys.
When i tried to burn a CD i noticed that i couldn't. Since i rarely do this i don't know since when this problem exists.
// ... deleted (see Edit)
Did something change? Because of the mentioned .service file i tought it may be because of because of systemd but booting in fallback will result in the same behavior.
Reinstalling did brasero did not solve the problem either.
Thanks
EDIT:
Turns out that tracker is a indexing program in gnome-extra and has little to do with this...

Can't burn CD's after installing Ver 6.0.5

I just downloaded & installed Ver 6.0.5 When I start itunes, I get a message saying "the registry settings used by itunes for importing and burning cds" are missing, and I should re-install itunes. When I try to burn a playlist to a cd I get a message "disc recording not found".
What up???

Spike, first thing you need to do is go to your Computer Manufacturers website and download all the latest drivers for your CD Burner. It is most likely due to out of date drivers for your optical drives. This should fix it. If not, Try this:
Do exactly as I post.
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).(to do this, click on start, run and type that in)
Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
IF this Does not work, which it usually does, Try this:
the thing to do to reclaim your optical drives is located in your registry here:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
You'll want to have that open, and a mini-window of the following:
START -> CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> Hardware (tab) -> DEVICE MANAGER -> Offending Drive (with yellow tag by it) Right-Mouse-Click and PROPERTIES -> Driver (tab) -> DRIVER DETAILS
Notice that list. It references all the drivers that that particular drive is utilizing. There should be a single .DLL (dynamic link library) file and multiple .SYS files. It's the .SYS files we're focusing on, and they should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder stem. If you want to open a new window explorer, and go verify that each of those driver files still exists in that folder stem, you may.
At this point, compare the Driver File Detail list with the Registry Tree Location you're sitting in, and look at the UpperFilterCheck and LowerFilterCheck key values. Your offending key value will NOT be on your Driver File Detail list!!! It might be as small as "PFC" or something else, but that value is referencing to a driver file that no longer exists. Delete that offending key value. Close the registry.
Close the Driver File Details and Drive Properties windows. At this point, to finish this up, you need to Soft Uninstall (Right-mouse-click on the drive, and hit "Uninstall" ) the drive(s), let the Device Manager refresh... then hit ACTION -> Scan For Hardware Changes ...
This should start a new Found New Hardware cycle, and.... Viola... your drives should be back to normal...

How can I burn a DVD after I "Share" a project to a folder?

Working wiht Premiere Elements 8 -
I'm having issues with the DVD burner on on my Win 7 machine and I'm looking for a way to burn multiple DVD's more efficiently. I have Shared the project to a folder and want to be able to burn the DVD's from the folder. This will save me a lot of time as the project won't need to keep encoding every time I try to burn the disk. Buring multiple disks doesn't seem to work for me either.
Any ideas on how to make this happen?
Thanks,
Pat

Thanks Bill. I downloaded the shareware and started the burn (before I left for work this morning), so I'll be able to test it and see how well it works...
I'm sure it will be fine - but I'll let you know how it goes and update the "Question has been answered" next reply

Can't burn CD's after installing new iTunes update8.0

When I click the burn button I get the message, No burner or software found. does anyone have a clue what to do,

Mac OS X version 10.4.9 or later
QuickTime 7.5.5 or later

Can I burn PSE 12 download for off line install?

If I buy the PSE 12 upgrade download from Adobe, does the download include all of the files that I need to burn to a DVD so I can do an off-line installation on another computer? I am concerned that the download will just be an installer that requires an Internet connection to perform the installation. Thanks.

Obviously I did not make myself clear. Sorry. I have PSE 11 installed and I have an Adobe Id. I assume that when I download the PSE 12 update I will get a new license key. If I have the installation files on a DVD or hard drive and I need to install without an Internet connection I should be able to do so and run in trial mode until I get connected. I do understand that if I have to reinstall on a different machine I will have to have an Internet connection to register the new machine.
Normally I would wait until early December when Costco has the boxed product. They always have a better price than any altenative I have found. Unfortunately, because I have a new Canon 70D and only PSE 12 supports the 70D I would like to get it now. I can use the DNG converter to edit images, however, there is no way to get the Canon 70D RAW files into the Organizer and that will become a larger and larger problem that I will have to fix when I finally do get PSE 12. Thanks to both yourself and John for your help.

Best way to downgrade to SL after Lion has been installed on MBP

After 2 days of reading multiple posts about iMovie on Lion and trying to make iMovie work on my MBP 2.4 Intel Core i5, I am giving up on Lion. Snow Leopard, I want you back.
I've already backed up all of my files, but before I reinstall SL, I would like to retain my Windows/Parallel configuration. I don't want to go through the lengnthy process of updating Windows and I am guessing there is a way to do that, but I am not sure how. Please help if you know how.
Thanks

I seem to be unable to "boot(?)" from my original SL disc. However, I can insert the SL disc and the "install Mac OS. app" does appear. Is it as simple as clicking on the install icon and my old SL would be reinstalled?
If you have followed all the instructions in that post... then yes just Click.
tvdowntown wrote:
Thank you. I have been following that thread and I still cannot figure out what will happen to my Windows/Parallels configuration. Will it stay intact or must reinstall Windows as well?
My understanding is that you will have a Fresh Install of SL and you will need to Run Software Update (to bring it upto Date...... so to speak)
and then Install any 3rd party Apps, such as Windows, etc...
Just one note based on experience... If you have a Lot of Updates after the Reinstall, (and you probably will...)
it would be best to update one at a time and Not all at once... and then leave your Machine running for a couple of days or so... if you can.
Hope this helps, Cheers.

Can't burn Disc from iTunes after Microsoft fix

Okay ... long process to get iTunes working and I am almost there. Here is the saga ...
I upgraded to iTunes 6.0 and after the upgrade neither of my CD/DVD drives would work. After surfing the internet, I found the solution on Microsoft.com, which was to delete some specific upper and lower filters from the registry and then reboot the computer. I did this and everything worked great. I was able to use iTunes and both my CD/DVD drives worked. But now .... I cannot burn any discs from iTunes, (I can burn from other places), it says,"cannot find recording disc" It will let me upload CDs into iTunes. Here is my CD diagnostics:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Dell Computer Corporation Precision WorkStation 350
iTunes 6.0.4.2
CD Driver 2.0.4.3
CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel.
The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.

hi TwinMom!
hmmmm. was this the solution you used?
(MS) CD-ROM access is missing and messages cite error Code 31, Code 32, Code 19, Code 39, or Code 41 after you remove Easy CD Creator in Windows XP
i've seen a few follow up problems after applying that technique ... but usually they tend to involve this error message:
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
what you're getting is still consistent with that (in a sense), because you don't have any itunes-related filter entries showing up in your diagnostics.
so, let's start trying some techniques that have a reasonable track record against that error -43 that's showing up in your CD diagnostics.
first, try a reboot and repair. reboot the PC (very important), and then do a repair install of itunes. go to your Add/Remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and then select "repair".
does that get rid of the -43?
can you burn a CD after doing that?
love, b

I can't burn a cd of my own created music. I either get the error 4261, or after "Checking media" the process stops and nothing further happens. Have tried different burn speeds and cds. Have re-installed iTunes.Any suggestions please?

Sounds like the CD drive died. Luckily they cost next to nothing to replace. Or get an external LaCie instead. I have a dual G4 1.25 and the CD drive was always so anemic I use a LaCie Porsche with it.
