Can't burn too!

Hi
I know I am not alone. It is not possible for me to burn to CD/DVD from iPhoto. I waited for almost 2 years for my photo library will be big enough to fit on a dvd, but now I can't make a backup of the library. In the syslog I get the following output:
iPhoto: Burn started, Tue Aug 2 22:49:56 2005
iPhoto: Burning to DVD-R media with DAO strategy in SONY DVD RW DW-U10A A43h via ATAPI.
iPhoto: Requested burn speed was 4x, actual burn speed is 4x.
iPhoto: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
iPhoto: Burn failed, Tue Aug 2 22:50:02 2005
iPhoto: Burn sense: 5/24/00 Illegal Request, Invalid field in CDB
iPhoto: Burn error: 0x80020022 Das Gerät hat nicht korrekt geantwortet, eine Wiederherstellung oder ein erneuter Versuch sind nicht möglich
any ideas? I use iPhoto 5.0.4. I tried several medias (of different manufacturers) and have reinstalled iPhoto. Nothing helped.

It might be a permission issue with one of the image files in the library. You can try manually setting the permissions as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
If you're wanting to group your photos by date have you considered multiple libraries managed by either iPhoto Buddy or iPhoto Library Manager. Each would probably be small enough to have the entire library folder be burned via the Finder. Just make a duplicate copy of your current library and in the copy delete all the photos but those you want in that library. Then duplicate the original again and do the same.
If you use iPhoto Library manager, the full paid version, you will be able to copy files from one library to another if necessary and maintain the keyword, comments and other information.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

"iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

Itunes can't burn this cd because the burn speed is too fast for your cd...

For the first time since upgrading to 10.3.9 I'm trying to burn a data disc from iTunes to backup some files. It fails every time and ruins the blank CD. This is getting expensive!
The CDs are Phillips CD-R 52x. (Yes, I've used blanks from this very box before the 10.3.9 upgrade and it never failed before.) iTunes was set to 24x burn then changed to "maximum possible" for the burn speed.
Most times it looks like it's burning the playlist but around the 5th file it spits it out and gives the error "itunes can't burn this cd because the burn speed is too fast for your cd burner or media". Sometims it just locks up itunes with "checking media" and I have to force quit iTunes. Then the disc is ruined. It won't even show up in Finder.
Ugh. Anyone know how to fix this?

Can't burn DVD, file too large?

I downloaded a movie to my hard drive using Drive-In. I am now trying to burn the movie file onto a blank disk but keep getting this error message: "DVD is too large to fit on the disk. Remove some files and try again." Now the file size is 44KB, the disk can hold 4.7GB. Can anyone make sense of this? I opened a burn folder and dragged the movie file into it, do I need to do something else to the file or am I doing it the wrong way? Thanks in advance. Boston

"Drive-in preserves the DVD’s original content protection. Drive-in allows you to play your images on any computer that you own but does not allow you to share your images with others." from Flip4Mac Drive-In web site.
You can not burn that file.

Can't burn CD w/ Toast because it's 6MB too large for disc

I have a set of files, .img .ccd and .sub, I'm trying to burn (or just view, it's a movie), I've tried viewing in VLC, burning using Burn, converting to a .bin file and then mounting, nothing's worked so far so I got Toast Titanium because you're supposed to be able to mount the .img file and then either
1) Save to Disc as an .iso, and go from there, but when I click on the .iso image/file I get the error message "Not Recognized", or
2) Mount it and copy it to a CD, and go from there, but I get the error message that 708.8MB of space are needed and only 702.8MB are available--the CD is brand-new, never-used (CD-R), and you can't use DVDs from my understanding.
Are there any other options? I looked around a lot on Google and there's something about MacPorts but it involves all kinds of use with the Terminal, if there's some way of not having to go that route it would be great.

whyever not? anything you can burn on a CD you can also burn on a DVD. just try a DVD-R disk.

Encore can't burn more than one DVD at a time: Sense Code 56400

For a long time now I've been unable to burn multiple DVD's at a time. I burn more than one and I get an error and have to make a coaster out of yet another DVD
I just upgraded to 24 gb of DDR3 PC 1600 RAM, I have an 6 Core Processor, I have 7.8 on everything accept my hard drive which is 7.0 out of 7.9 according to my Windows 7 Pro. 64 bit system.
I have 2 different DVD burners, one is a blu-ray burner too. I have the same issues, only different error readings it seems, on both drives. The first drive didn't burn even one for some reason so I tried the second. The second drive would burned 3 and on the fourth I got the errors' which I've included screen shots of below. I was surprised I got through three before I got to this error. By the end of the week I have a large project I need to make 30 DVD's of. HELP!!!!!
A long time ago on my older machine I had similar problems and I went through different drives and discs until I seemed to come up with the magic combination which seemed to be a Plextor burner and Verbatim. But, then i got a bad batch of verbatim and tried Maxell and used those successfully for a while. Right now I'm using what a friend gave me, TDK's. I'm wondering if that's what the problem is... HELP!!!!

I have managed to get it to work consistently now. I just burned 20 DVD's without a problem.
I tried everything you suggested except the imageburn software. I didn't like that site, I was too anxious to try and figure out where to download that software in the midst of all the advertisements on that site.
After clearing out everything in startup and services except what I needed I still wasn't able to burn successfully. Finally I went and purchased some Verbatim DVD-R discs and wahlah! Actually, after the first try with the verbatim I had an error code when trying to burn with Encore. So, I created and image file as you suggested and then I used Cyberlink's Power2Go to burn the image file and from there on it seems everything is solid.
I think the biggest problem was using TDK discs. I came to the realization a few years ago that certain disks are not as predictable as others and that verbatim and maxell seem to be the best. I did get one bad batch of verbatim though one time and that's when I switched to Maxell. My friend gave me 200 of the TDK's and I've been having problems ever since. But, I wasn't sure what it was exactly because he gave me those around the same time I rebuilt my system.
I had also found the Plextor seems to be the best bet for burners. But, I had been using an HP one lately and thought maybe that was the problem. However, now it seems to be fine.
I really don't know what fixed it. I mean, nothing definitely worked until I started using the Verbatim today. But, that first verbatim erroring perplexed me. I had done some other things too, like removed some programs, like a bunch of HP printer crap. I even removed my virus software, Window Security Essentials. I just reinstalled it so now I'm wondering if I can burn as consistently. I had seen somewhere where someone said they removed Windows' Defender to get theirs working.
Anyways, I guess what I need to do is format my main hard drive, only put adobe stuff on it, and then take my old computer set it up for everything else. That'll probably be the best thing to do... If I have anymore problems like this I'm doing that right away!

How many audio CD's can I burn?

So, I took the plunge yesterday and bought my first music store tracks. Now have a few questions (I suppose logically I should have looked for the answers first but I just wanted to try it anyway
Most of all I'd like to know, is there a restriction on the number of audio CD's I can burn? I've read 7 in a couple of posts but can find absolutely zilch in Apple's support about this. Must say, I find it a bit of a cheek if there is a restriction. It's my music now, afterall !!! I just hope the whole point of not allowing you to burn from Toast anymore, but only from iTunes is to remove this need to limit burning?
Which leads me to my next question; this thing about only burning from iTunes now... is that a restriction set by Toast or by Quicktime? Or both? Because I read somewhere that QT7 prevents you from burning. Somewhere else I read you can still burn using Toast 6.0.1.
And finally a question about quality. This is something I've been struggling with for a long time and my library has become chaos as far as encoding is concerned. I just can't decide. To me 192 bit MP3 sounds fine, as does 128 bit AAC (Music Store). But everywhere I read people seem obsessed with seemingly huge bitrates always rubbishing these so called "high-quality" settings. So being the gullable person I am I've started believing too much of what I've read and become paranoid that 128 bit AAC just doesn't cut it.
Thing is, for a long time I went along with the old addage "if it sounds good for you..." but I'd like to start taking my powerbook out with me DJ-ing (private parties, small venues) as I'm fed up of lugging vinyl about, not to mention people who don't have record players anymore . But are music store files gonna sound bad over a small/med sized sound-system? Or am I just being scared by a few audiophiles who hang out in recording studios 12 hours a day and for all their trained hearing have forgotten what the layman hears (or doesn't hear)?!? Because if the answer really is "forget it, it'll sound awfull" then I really need to question the point of buying from the music store.
Thanks in advance for your opinions...

Rich,
Sounds like you have your answer as far as the number of times you can burn a playlist with protected music in it. Keep in mind that if you alter the playlist you can get another 7 burns in.
By the way, just because you buy a CD or "Tune" doesn't make it "yours." How would you feel if you produced a track, went through a copyright process, and everyone who paid $1 for it had legal rights to it? Yes you own a copy of others music but it doesn't give you the right to mass produce it and/or distribute or sell it. DJ's like us are always skirting the line between copyright infringement and remix / alteration rights. I mean we get paid for playing other people's music right? Copyrights are there to protect artists against that scenario exactly. OK (stepping down from my soap box now)
Bitrate / Quality - of course through most systems 192 MP3 or 128 AAC will do just fine. But, just how large are these parties? If they truly are small house parties say one room up to 100 people, I'd say you're fine. But, when you play that same track on a full on sound system in, say a club or something (1000 people or so) with 2-5000 watts or more behind it, you will hear all the fuzz, noise, pops, etc. In the end it really is a personal decision, what's suitable quality to your ears? The vinyl sounds better doesn't it?
Just my opinion...Hope it helps.

I Can't Burn a CD any more! and a lower speed does nothing - HELP!

I have been burning CDs on this machine (imac 10.3.9) the same way for years and years. (7)
Up till last month.
This is what I get when I burn a playlist.
"itunes can not burn this cd because your burn speed is too fast for you cd burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane then try burning again."
I've tried that - even though that seems silly considering I've had no problems at my current settings until now. The lowest burn speed (1) gives me the same error.
I'm hating life and my mac right now, something I though I'd never say.
Anyone?

If you don't have Nero, check out http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9229334#9229334. I think some people have found a way to get just the Burn Rights program.
If that doesn't work, some people seem to have luck with editing the registry or messing with filters or gear drivers. Check out this discussion starting with Tytus (he came up with the Nero fix) on March 22:

Burned CD yesterday, can not burn today. Error 4280 - Windows Vista

Yesterday, I bought a number of tracks and albums from the iTunes store. Before I purchased them, I created a test CD with some tracks I already ripped from CDs I own. I burned this CD through iTunes. All seemed well.
I bought my music. After, I also backed up my purchases using iTunes. Still, all seemed well.
Today, I tried to create audio CD with the tracks I purchased from the iTunes store. It did not work.
It seems that the error (4280) comes up a lot, but in relation to Sony drives. My drive is not made by Sony.
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Can't burn audio CD with new iTunes 7.0.1.8

I installed iTunes 7.0.1.8 and now I cannot burn audio CDs. I can only burn data CDs. When I try to change preferences under "edit" "preferences" "advanced" "burning" to audio there is not way to save the change. In other words, there is no "ok" button. It reverts back to data CD and the button on the bottom right remains "burn data disc". Any suggestions?

I'm having troubles, too. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.
1) How do I manually delete my podcasts now that they don't show up in my library any longer?
2) Also, none of my non-music items are showing up anywhere in my library as they are not music. Items like books on CD that I downloaded and are genres for audiobooks but the system doesn't consider them audiobooks. Please help!
Thanks.

Since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) - i can not burn Data-DVDs anymore...

System: iMac G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.5, 4x SuperDrive (SONY DVD RW DW-U10A)
Dear Apple Support,
since Mac OS X 10.4.4 (same with 10.4.5) i can not burn a Data DVD-RW anymore. It is so annoying. I want to burn my backup on a DVD-RW with the Burn Folders in Mac OS X. it is not possible.
The Finder burn dialog hangs at the "ending burning process". It is so annoying.
It's not possible to erase this "half burned" DVD-RW too! So I have here a lot of destroyed DVD-RWs around me...
The burning of DVD-RWs is a problem since 10.4.0 here on my machine. With 10.4.3 it was half o.k. ... But since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) nothing works anymore.
Your product "Mac OS X Tiger" is nearly one year in the market. And burning a Data-DVD is not a exotical thing. It is a essential feature of a Operating System today. So what are you doing in your Test-Labs?
I am sitting here since 1 year with an Operating System from Apple an it doesn't works in the essential features.
Whats about your slogan "It just works"?
What happens with the quality of Apple?
Under 10.3.9 Panther i can burn everything. It absolutly no problem there.
So i don't understand what are you doing with Tiger?
It's so annoying!

Roessner

Hi,
I've got exactely the same problem and I have no solution at the moment.
Is there someone who could help us, please?

New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk.

New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk. The 'checking playlist' now takes about one second, looks very much like a malfunction here. Seems to initialize the disk - them moves straight into 'burning/finalizing disk' which also takes about one second. Then 'burning - finishing disk takes a little longer -
Error reading is "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disk drive didn't respond properly an can't recover.'
This happend once before a while back and I thought it was 'too skinny disks'. Using 'printable disks; seemed to fix the problem - until now.
Blank cd's can be opened in the finder and files burnt to them.
DVD's can be burned from DVD Pro.
Music cd's and dvd's can be played.
Just can't burn the itunes playlist.

lewelew
From your iMac? OS 10.9.2? iTunes? Other? please give as much info as you can about your system hardware and peripherals, OS, software, etc. Is this misbehavior new? First try? You get the idea, too much info is not possible.

IDVD says 'supported disk no available,' does not burn too DVD!?

I have an Apple Imac G4 10.4.11, with iDVD 5. I have a 1 hour 20 minute 'AVI file on my computer that I want to burn to a DVD. I clicked 'Open New Project' on iDVD, then clicked 'File' and 'Import Video' and added my 'AVI file. I put in the disk ands started the burn. It took hours and hours then it ended and DVD Player popped up and a message came up on iDVD saying 'Supported Disc Needed,' but it accepted this disc, it is a DVD RW disk. How do I fix this?

Hi
There are several things to this.
A .avi is a container that can carry several different codecs - most often not working with iDVD - but need's to be converted to something iDVD likes as streamingDV, .H264 or AIC (last two I think)
• MPEG Streamclip
• QuickTime with Pro activated
• Flip4Mac - There is a free demo - to test and see if it works - usually does
B. Mac and iDVD are picky regarding DVDs used. Memorex and Cheap brands usually gives problems.
DVD-RW so to a Problem maker
I use only DVD-R from Verbatim.
C. A DVD can be burned into two types. Data-DVD and Video-DVD. To get an Video-DVD one has to wait to insert the DVD until iDVD asks for it (or burn it via Apple Disk Util tool from a DiskImage). If inserted too soon - Mac OS will ask You to Format or Eject it. If formatted You've got a Data-DVD.

Can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVDs

Hi there! I own a Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with Tiger updated and a Pioneer dvd recorder Mod. DVR-110D Firmware ver. 1.37. I can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVD-R because I always get the following error code: 0x8002006E. It happens with Finder burn and Toast 8 too! Is a solution there to fix this problem? Thanks for your help
Greetings Fabry
Powermac G5 2Ghz Dual Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Fabrizio!
I am particularly interested in your problem because I was about to buy some of those very disks!
In fact, I started this thread some time ago:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4140243&#4140243
I have been googling the error code, and from a variety of Mac related forums it appears that, as Templeton suggests, it is an incompatibility between the burner and the media.
Some have had the problem with Matshita, some with Pioneer superdrives. Some have had success with exchanging one superdrive for another, some with using different media.
What is strange is that Verbatim DVD-R of the 'regular' kind are the preferred brand here. I have read that F Shippey, who I hope will chip in here if he sees this thread, has tried the Verbatim Archival grade DVDs.
We need a bigger user sample!
Have you tried burning them at only 2x or 4x in Toast?
Do you have any problems burning 'normal' Verbatim DVDs?
