Can't burn to DVD-r or CD-r, any ideas?

I cannot burn music to DVD-r or CD-r for use in my car. I now have a massive pile of apparently useless discs. Any assistance would be appreciated.
I am using a A1278 2.7Mhz MacBook Pro with MAC OS-X 10.7.5
I have managed to burn previoulsy, could somehing have changed?
Thanks
Michael

The fact that they both started to go wrong within a couple of days of each other intrigues me. The only similarity is their age, they have been used differently, one has done much more work than the other, one was kept in its neoprene sleeve when not in use, the other sat on a desk in a different environment.
I'm on my way to our Apple Store now. Thanks for this advise.

I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

Here's what you do to get Premiere CS6 + Encore:
Just click here (it's the same link as the more information link in CC.)
or
Go to your Creative Cloud application (on the menu bar) and go to Adobe Premiere CC and click more information
There is a dropdown menu that says "Adobe Premiere Pro CC" near the top.
Click it and the other option is "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6." Select that.
Now on the top right corner of the page it has a download button that says "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."
It is included in your CC subscription.
However, a word of warning, you cannot use Adobe Dynamic Link to link to a Premiere CC sequence directly in Encore. A CS6 sequence still works fine, but if you have a CC project, you will need to encode your sequence into a DVD friendly format (MPEG2 file). I'm really hoping that Adobe changes this in their upcoming release, and just adds the ability to import CC sequences into Encore, then I would be fine with them not including it in the normal CC package, or updating it. But I haven't seen anything about it in the release notes.
A lot of people still want their DVDs and it's a lot easier to just dynamically link the sequence.

How can I burn a dvd without themes?

how can I burn a dvd without themes?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

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 I burn a DVD with Leopard?

I just purchased a new MacPro and it should arrive in about 2 weeks. A simple question. Can I burn a DVD using the OS or do I need a seperate software package to do this?
I haven't used a MAC in about 20 years so I am a "newbie".

You can burn a data DVD with Leopard's Finder:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8398.html
or Disk Utility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8729.html
and the Mac Pro also ships with iDVD which supports up to 2 hours on a 4.7 GB DVD, and over 3 hours on an 8.4 GB Dual Layer DVD.
Since I'm not as familiar with iDVD, you may want to post your question here if you plan on using it:

Other movie DVD software made by third parties offer additional capabilities.

Can't burn a DVD without Administrator Rights

Hi,
We don't allow our users to run with administrator rights on our domain. If we take away the admin rights, they can't burn a DVD, but if I do a RunAs Administrator on Premiere Elements, they can. How can I run P.E. without admin rights so they can burn a DVD? We are running Windows XP SP3, 32bit mode. Thanks.

Aside from Hunt's idea of writing the output to a folder and using the free Imgburn to write to a disc (have you tried that?) you have just run up against one of the design limitations of all flavors of Premiere... Elements and the various versions of Premiere Pro
The products are simply not DESIGNED to run in a network environment... they are meant to be used by one user on one computer, with full rights to be able to use all functions
I don't know what to suggest, but you may need to find a different product, if Hunt's suggestion does not work for you
Do note that I do NOT work for Adobe... but I've been reading these forums for many years, and the answers I've seen have all been the same... the products just are not designed to, and do not work in a network environment
Even using PPro/Encore CS5, due to Win7 settings, whereI am the owner and only user of the software, I must right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator when I want to create a dual layer DVD... but not when I'm creating a single layer DVD
For your situation... I've never seen a solution other than full Administrator rights to use all program functions

Can't burn a DVD on Premiere Elements 12

At 98% media encoding the DVD is spit out and I get the following: internal software error:/premiere/elements/molecules/pre-mediacore/External/AuthorScript/Source
Any suggestions? I need the video for a class this week!

ATR,
Thank you for the reply and suggestions. I did some more researching and found a suggestion to remove the stop marker at the end of my video....and it worked! Apparently the stop marker causes an internal error. Mystery solved.
Thank you again for the ideas. I'm going to keep them on file for the next burn hic-up.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
Is this an external or internal burner?
Would you say that this is a case of "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before"?
Although you cannot burn to disc DVD, can you burn your Timeline to folder. If so, the VIDEO_TS Folder from the burn to folder + ImgBurn to get your DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc may be your answer to this time crunch.
Let us start here and then decide what next depending on your answers.
Next step may be getting more information about your project settings and properties of your source media.
Could you post a screenshot of the error message that you are getting?
More details in the morning when we will be watch for your follow up.
Thanks.

Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Well, that didn't work since I am already using my appleID for both FaceTime and iMessage but i did see the option to send as SMS when iMessage not available. so I am now able to send to him but I don't know if he can send to me.

If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).
