Can't get my UJ-825 to burn at 4x
I have a Powerbook 12 inch with a UJ-825, and I've tried a few different brands and can only get it to burn at 2x. Any ideas? The media say they will work at 4x with a UJ-825
Have a look here and see if this helps you understand the problem.
Media.Media.Media.
The problem is multi-dimensional.
First check in your particular profiler on EXACTLY what type(FORMAT) of DISK's your burner will burn.
Next please do not just randomly go out and buy a spool of 30 50 or 100 disc's because they are on sale.
There is a HUGE difference in the type format disc's you buy
There is also a HUGE difference in the BRAND you choose, some are junk.
There is also a HUGE Difference in the SPEED of the media you choose.
If any one or a combination of any of the 3 mentioned above can cause burn error's or no burn at all or spit the disk out.
So it is a good idea to do a little homework on your Optical Drive and see just exactly what it is capable of and what it will use for media.
(ONE LAST NOTE)
Many of the Media Manufactures are becomming aware that many of the Apple Burners are having trouble with there Media. Maxell has just come out with a brand new one that is. Maxell 16X DVD-R.
The key is read the packaging. this new media tells you that it will burn at any speed from 1X through 16X, and it works very well on the older Optical Drives. I also opt to use the individual that include the cases there seems to be much better quality, not like that of the spools.
Remember Apples Drives to date are much pickier than those used in the PC community.
Cheers Don

great, but my MBA did not come with an installion disc, only a tiny jump drive that is not recognized by windows; and I can't get the contents of that burned to a DVD either. So how the heck do I get the drivers into Windows 7? My MBA has bootcamp 3.0.4.
Here's what I get:

Can't get rid of the Ken Burns Effect!!
Not sure why, but when choose Show Photo info when working on the clips in iMovieHD, in Preview, I don't see the photo. It's just black. I also can not get rid of the Ken Burns Effect. I click the X so it won't be applied to the photos, but it does it anyway. This is becoming very frustrating. Is there some sort of bug that's causing it to do this? I started over several times seeing if that would help, but it hasn't. Any suggestions??

Hi,
I'm trying to burn CD's from my Itunes using this GQ CD-R, 700mb/80 minute 52x recordable, but I keep getting an error message 'the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.' Is there anything I can do, or are these just useless discs? Thank you!Yeah, on the computer If it works, you know there's something funky within your user. If it doesn't, you know there's something wrong system-wide. From here, you can pretty much guarantee that the cds just don't play nice with your system.

I can't get transitions to work when burning a DVD from Keynote
While trying to burn a DVD+RW from keynote, using Quicktime 7.5.5, I get a message stating warnings were detected during validation. Nowhere does it tell me where the errors are, or what to fix. If I burn the disk some of the transitions do not work. They freeze, or one slide shows through another. When I went through preview before burning everything worked fine, but when the DVD is placed in a player the transitions do not work. I removed all the transitions, then reburned the disc and things worked fine, but the presentation lacked pizazz.
bobWhich USB Superdrive are you referring to? If this is the one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive
it states it works with Macbook Air, Mini, or MBP with Retina display. If they told you differently, take it back for a full refund and show them their own website. -
Using iDVD 3.0.1 -- can't get a MPEG4 tune to burn w/slideshow
Hey there --
I'm fairly new to using iPhoto & iDVD so I don't really want to spedn money on upgrading it yet! I have played with these programs and successfully made some nice DVD slideshows with audio.
I'll try to make my points brief, and appreciate any help.
JUST USE THE QUESTION # TO REFER TO THE POINTS YOU WANT TO ANSWER.
1. Just upgraded to OS X 10.4.3 -- is this causing the audio to not record when I tried to burn a DVD of the last iDVD project??
2. Or do I need to upgrade iDVD (I'm currently on 3.0.1). What version could I upgrade for free... and what version costs to upgrade?
3. I'm trying to use a song purchased on iTune -- the song says it is an MPEG4 (instead of MP3) and that it is a "Protected AAC audio file" -- does that mean I can't record it to something else, such as this DVD project or just to a CD?
Thanks for your help and insight.
--PollyHi ETC...
1. What method did you use to burn the second DVD?
2. You can't "upgrade" to a different iDVD version without purchasing an iLife bundle (Version 5 or 6) usually around $79.00 but you can look around for deals.
3. You need to burn the iTunes music to an Audio CD and then import to your project from there.

Can't get rid of old iomega burner from iTunes burner list
Hi there. I'm running itunes on 10.3.9 on a CRT iMac.
I used to have a USB iomega cd burner, but now have a Formac Divideon Firewire DVD burner.
iTunes seems to think the iomega is still plugged in, although it's not, and won't show up my formac burner in the preferences.
So, I deleted itunes, tried to re-install it, and now the installer says it's already installed, so won't install it again!
Any advice anyone?!PLEASE SOME ONE!
This is driving me nuts. How do I make iTunes forget about the burner that is no longer there?
There must be some way of resetting the ports or something.
I have re-installed iTunes and it is still mistaking my new burner for an old one, thereby preventing me from burning anything. I have run disk permission repairs, hard plugged the new burner in both firewire slots and deleted anything to do with iomega.
What to do?? -
Like I said, my back up broke and I can't get all of my music back by transfering purchases because I burned a lot of CD's I had collected from the past. I don't have any of those CD's anymore, so how can I get all of my music onto my new iTunes? Or am I just S.O.L.?
Phone to Mac,this app lets you easily copy, transfer the music, videos and playlists from any iPod or iPhone directly into iTunes on any Mac.

When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?
The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
PLEASE HELP!

My LCD Screen burned out, but the computer still works. I currently have it connected to an HDTV via, Mini DVI to VGA, VGA to VGA on the tv. Problem is, I can't get the function bar (maybe not the right term) or the bar at the bottom with all my programs on it. I get my screen saver and have managed to drag (by sheer luck since I can't see anything on my iMac screen) some of my pics I had on my desktop over, but nothing else. Please help!
Hello
you should have on your key board "mirroring key" , or F7 on old keyboard
for now your tv is an extended screen for your imac not a miror , so you can not see menue barre on top of screen

HOPE you are in 10.6

"On some keyboards, you can press the F7 key, or Command-F1, as a shortcut to turn video mirroring on or off."

Is there a way to reset the default CD burner? I have an internal pioneer burner the DVR105, and an external firewire La Cie burner. The La Cie burner is much newer and will burn properly. However, itunes 7 is trying to burn to the internal DVR105 only, and it keeps giving me errors.
How can I get Itunes to burn to the healthy la Cie? I know my Toast software recognizes it...I have burned DVDs to the La Cie many times before in Toast. Itunes offers me no option to select which burner to use, unlike Toast. My OS is Panther.
thx
c-postSorry, Itunes is not giving me that dialog. Lemme tell you, it did give me a related dialog earlier today when my La Cie was not connected. Apparently it defaulted back to the Pioneer at that time. I have since reconnected the La Cie, and the system is seeing it, however Itunes won't offer me the option to burn to the La Cie. It just burns to the Pioneer, then gives me an error saying it can't burn the CD.

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?
The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?
Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

I want to burn my imovie to a dvd. All the help info says to use idvd but I can't get it to open. The applecare guy said idvd is no longer included in new macs, so why are all the instructions still saying to use it? Is one of the other software offerings, like dvd Cfreator for Mac, ok to use for this? What's the best one?
Please clarify what you mean by "you can't get it to open". Is iDVD on your system or not? If this is a new iMac, iDVD is no longer bundled with new Macs, so the application just isn't there and hence of course can't be opened. You can still purchase it as part of the retail iLife '11 box, though, if you want it, and it would be less expensive than DVD Creator (which I have no experience with), even though you'll get some redundant applications.
