Can't burn discs. Error message: The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser level for this media can't be burned because the device

Cannot burn discs. Error message: "The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media". Then the blank disc is ejected.

Two main possible causes:
1. Poor media. Verbatim DVD-R work best, burned at only 2x or 4x.
2. Dirty lens. Try cleaning the superdrive with a proprietary CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.

Help: Cannot boot from leopard disc anymore, everything else fine

I was working on an ibook and messing with it in firewire mode and was going to install leopard on it that way from my macpro. (just letting you know the context)
I tried to restart my machine(mac pro) and boot leopard both by pushing C and by running the installer.
I get the "You need to hold the power button panic message" everytime I do this. I unplugged external devices and tried this also and it has the same problem.
I cannot boot from the dvd anymore. If I eject the disc, osx loads normally.
Any ideas what I can do? (I have tried safe boot, pram clearing and hold option on boot to check options)
Here is the kernel panic when it finally loads into osx.

I really appreciate everyone's help.
I am certainly not above taking the machine in but I will say this.....
I have been building and working on PC's for 15-20 years. I have never once used or had the need for a repair shop. It is my hobby. I recently switched to osx to give the mac a try and I love it.
I will say that vista/xp has four times as many problems but at least i can fix whatever comes my way hardware or software.
Any more ideas how to settle this without making my first trip to the repair shop ever?...

Get "no bootable device- insert boot disc and hit any key" error

Hp G72 Laptop, Windows 7 64 bit,
"no bootable device-insert boot disc and hit any key" (I have no boot disc.)
I was in the process of replacing the hard drive and the computer was starting the final phase after copying all files. When it restarted the first time, I got the message. I was getting this message randomly prior to replacing the hard drive and if I turned it off for 2 or 3 hours and turned back on I would not get the message. The reason for replacing the hard drive was a "Smart Disc " imminent failure error message.

Yes and yes. The final recovery disc had completed and it was moving to the next phase. It said the computer would restart several times during this phase and when it went to the first restart, the error message came up and I could proceed no further. I ctrl/alt/del and restarted, pressed escape to get the start-up menu but was lost at all the options. The information screen looked like the old hard drive info.

What may have happened is an error and a kernel panic, filling up the logfiles.
What I recommend is first to find a way to backup your data without booting the hard drive directly if it isn't already backed up, and then get Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair the hard drive.    You'll probably want an external drive from http://www.macsales.com/
And you'll want to go into Hard drive -> Library -> Logs, System -> Library -> Logs, and Users -> yourname -> Library -> Logs to remove whatever you find there.
If after booting it fills up again, start by removing all startup items in your System Preferences for your user, and rebooting in safe mode with the shift key held down. If the hard drive is over 85% full after removing the logfiles, you may want to look at what were the last applications you installed.
Peer2peer software if installed can be as bad as a virus, because it enables others to access your computer. Insecure wireless networks are just as bad, if they are WEP or no encryption and someone is within 1500 feet of your computer.
If no such software is installed, your RAM probably has failed.    Run the hardware test that came with your computer, by booting with the 'D' key.
If nothing shows up there, it can still be the RAM.   Especially if you've seen any 4 language screens telling you to restart.

I have a G5 running Leopard. Trouble starting. Hardware good. Cannot reinstall OS X. Error message 'Disc is damaged'

I have an old G5 that has been struggling at start up. Needed to reboot several times. Ran hardware check all OK. Attempted to reinstall the OS X and get error message ' Cannot install. disc is damaged' Disc looks good, no scratches.

That message refers to your hard drive, not the DVD!
You cannot perform repairs from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair:

Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Cannot boot from Recovery CD - Error: PXE-E61: Media test failure

Recovery CD ( winXP home edtion ) can't boot the Toshiba satellite A40 Model# PSA40E-0EWDE-AR (SA40-261) Whenever I try to Boot From recovery cd I get this Error :
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
but when I boot from any other cd (windows ME, WIN 2K, WIN XP Pro...) everything is ok.
Any Clue? Help me please
Thanks
Mesha

Hi
It seems the drive cannot boot up from the CD recovery and switch to the LAN boot.
The PXE-E61 error message appears because the LAN cable was not connected and the notebook is not able to find a network boot source
I think you should check the recovery CD and maybe you will need a new one

Satellite Pro A10 fails to boot - IDE #0 ERROR

On starting I get the Toshiba start-up screen and there is a regular clicking from the HDD. After 20-30 seconds I get:
IDE #0 ERROR
then a pause, followed by the following codes from the boot agent (Intel FE v4.1.09)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
Insert system disc in drive.
I have a nasty feeling that the HDD has died. I can replace it if required, but is there any way of extracting the files from it before I go this far?

Thats a clear symptom of a HDD fault.
The +IDE#0+ error means that the BIOS didnt recognize the HDD (due to a hardware fault probably) and cannot boot from the HDD.
Then it swishes to the further boot possibility > LAN
The +PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable+ error appears because the notebook cannot boot from LAN.
I think you should simply replace the HDD and then you should reinstall the OS again.
This helps for sure.

I had to erase and reinstall mavericks to hd, now i cannot boot up , i get a folder with flashing Q mark and i cannot boot from dvd drive...Ideas please

hi
its a long and sorry story, i have a imac running mavericks
a few days ago i noticed that the dvd drive was ejecting every disc i put in, so i decide to check hd with onyx and reset permissions etc
onyx said the smart status couldnt be checked and i should check hd using disk utility.
i did this and it came up that hd had errors , so i ran the repair facility....it came up with disk can not be repaired, reformat and reinstall mavericks
this i did.
i reinstalled mavericks into mac hd, which took about 3 hrs, i then rebooted and a folder with flashing Qmark appeared, i cant get past this at all.
i have tried to use internet recovery but it comes up with 6002f error, and the dvd drive still does not accept boot disk, so i am at a lose as to how to proceed
anybody got any ideas?
thanks

If your hard drive has SMART errors then it is failing and should be replaced. Disk Utility cannot fix SMART reported errors.

Can't boot up and error "The underlying task reported failure on exit"

I've spent some time searching the forums and internet for my problem to no avail, so hopefully this isn't something that was posted before.
I recently upgraded my internal drive on my Macbook. Everything has been fine for a week or so, and Leopard ran smoothly. Yesterday, the machine got hung up on backing up to Time Machine. For whatever reason, it got hung up and now all I get when I try to reboot is a gray screen, the Apple logo, and a spinning progress disc.
I can boot from another external drive just fine, and the data on the disk is all there. I just cannot boot from my master internal drive.
I ran Disk Utility from the other external drive (also runs Leopard), and when I try to repair the disk, Mac OS X says everything is fine.
However, when I try to repair permissions, I get the following error:
Verify permissions for “John HD”
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
Permissions verification complete
That's it...nothing else to it. I cannot seem to get over this error no matter what.
Also, I'm a bit nervous because my Time Machine folder has a folder labeled "Update in Progress" that is all white. Will I be able to backup from Time Macine, or is that data now corrupted?
Thanks, and any help will do!
John
Macbook Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz
2 Gig of RAM
Note...I have the same thread in the Time Machine section, since I didn't know where to post this.

By the way, this is the information that Disk Utility gives me when I try to repair the disk and then repair the permissions:
Verify and Repair volume “John HD”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume John HD appears to be OK.
Repairing permissions for “John HD”
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
Permissions repair complete
Like I said, the drive seems healthy enough. I just cannot get it to boot.

Cannot boot from Superdrives on my Mac Pro!!

Hello,
So I tried to boot last night from my Disk Warrior CD in order to do a maintenance check.
I hold C key but in vain after a couple of minutes I get the black screen/freeze with the message to restart holding power button.
Today, I tried to install Leopard on my external firewire drive and when the Mac restarted I got the same result.......freeze.
I tried both Superdrives.......same result, verified connections etc..... no dice.
I run the latest Leopard 10.5.3 in a first edition Mac Pro Dual 2.66 with 13GB RAM and 3 hard drives.
What bugs me is the fact that while holding or not the C key, after a couple of minuted I hear the ''click'' that you hear when you shut down the Mac Pro. It is like the Mac is shutting off but still runs for a few minutes before giving me the black screen.
This means I cannot boot anything anymore on my Mac Pro.
Please help me, any deas, what should I try doing.
The 2 Superdrives are Pioneer 111D and 112D......one is master the other on cable select.
Thank you.

Well that's a BUMMER You've got a hardware problem somewhere and it's time for 'Hit or Miss' Tactics to find it
First things First. Follow Theses Steps ...
Step 1) Can you boot from the hard drive with both 'Superdrives' plug in and empty?
If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
Step 2) Check the 'Superdrives' from the 'System Profiler' -> 'Hardware' -> 'ATA Bus'. Does it list BOTH Drives?
If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
Step 3) Is the TOP drive 'Unit Number: 0' (Zero) and the BOTTOM drive 'Unit Number: 1'.
If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
Step 4) Can you 'Mount' a CD/DVD to the 'Desktop' from both drives?
If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
Step 5) Can you 'REBOOT' the 'Install DVD' from the 'Desktop'?
If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
Step 6) Happy Days Are Here Again. Stop Here.
Step 7) 'DON'T PANIC!
Step 8) Open case and remove the 'Superdrive' bay. The 'Original' drive should be in the TOP bay with the END OF the 'Ribbon' cable plugged in to it. This 'Ribbon' cable and the 'Superdrive' should have a 'NOTCH' and can ONLY be plugged in a certain way. Set the 'Drive Select' jumper to 'Master'. Unplug the 'Ribbon' and 'Power' cable from the 'BOTTOM Superdrive'.
Step 9) Repeat Steps 1 thru 5 and if you make it to Step 6, Repeat Step 8 using the 'BOTTOM Superdrive'.
Step 10) Hmm, both 'Superdrives' WORK by themselves but NOT together So connect the TOP drive back as in Step 8 and connect the BOTTOM drive but change the BOTTOM drive's 'Jumper' to 'Slave'. Leave the TOP drive set to 'Master'.
Step 11) Repeat Steps 1 thru 5 and if you DO NOT make it to Step 6 then I'll need more information from your 'Console Error Logs'.
End Of Steps ............................................................................... .................................

HELP CANNOT BOOT

ok, my mbp was working fine for a bit, but when i tried to use time machine it didnt work with error -43 "file not found". i figured it just wasnt installed properly. so i booted up my leopard install disc and did archive and install. well, about twenty minutes in to the installation it came up with an error, saying that it could not install "BSD" (i dont know what that it)". not thinking anything of it i just restarted and tried to install again. only this time, when it checked to see if i had osx 10.4 or later, it denied that i did. i suspect that the original installation was interupted before it could install a working os, because i cannot boot the os at all.
PLEASE HELP ME i cannot install a fresh os, i cannot boot the old os, and repair disc does nothing. i have no idea what to do.
thanks in advance

Well this sort of calls for extreme measures:
Boot from your Leopard Installer DVD. Proceed to the point where you select a destination volume. Select your desired startup drive and click on the Options button. Select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. Finish the installation.
This will erase everything on the drive. If you have data you need to recover, then I suggest you do that first. You will need a second Mac with Firewire. Use Target Disk Mode to access the drive on your computer and transfer your personal files to the other computer or to an external Firewire drive connected to the other computer.

HT2452 I cannot boot my imac.

I cannot boot my imac. It stops booting at the grey apple screen. I have tried the fsck and if gives me an error "disk0s2: I/O error" cannot seem to get it to come back. any ideas?

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If this doesn't work, and it might not, then you can get Disk Warrior as suggested abob or reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
