Cannot Duplicate DVD

I used a Toshiba DVR620 to convert my own VHS home movie to DVD. Now I want to make a copy of my own DVD so I can send it to my mother 1000 miles away. I have Disk Utilities 12.1.1. I followed the instructions to the letter. Everything looks fine, and then it aborts. I get this error:
Unable to create "DVD Video Recording." (Permission denied)
"DVD Video Recording" is the name of the DVD R+ disc that is in my SuperDrive.
My iMac can read the disc, because I watched it using the DVD Player.

If you have Roxio Toast, you can do it easily; if not, you will need to re-import the movie (using MPEG Streamclip or Handbrake to convert it back into a format iMovie and/or iDVD can recognize). Once imported and converted, use iDVD (or Roxio Toast or Burn (free, but very basic) in order to burn it to a DVD which can be placed in any DVD player.

Premier Elements 12 Cannot burn DVD Get error message of internal software failure

Cannot butn DVD with Premier Elements 12 Get error message of internal software failure.

Great news JMD103.
There should be a big red pop-up, when one adds a Stop Marker to the end of the Timeline, saying "Do NOT do that!" That Stop Marker will almost always yield a failed Project output to DVD.
Good luck, and happy editing,

Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 GHz running 10.5.8 cannot burn DVD+R

Hello all-
I have a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 GHz running 10.5.8 and I cannot burn DVD+R. Does that make sense?
If I insert a DVD+R into the drive, it just spits it back out. I've tried several discs so it's not a faulty DVD.
Help.
Thank you.

I've tried several discs so it's not a faulty DVD
I trust that is several different brands, not several different discs from the same spindle/pack?
Media varies.

If you haven't tried a different brand, try a Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.
You might also try burning in a new user account to rule out account software troubles.

Cannot duplicate event due to same file name

I'm trying to archive some video projects my boss has made using Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 on OS X 10.7.5. The problem I'm having is that I cannot "Duplicate Project + Used Clips" like I have done in the past because this project uses clips from three different events, and each of these events contains files that happen to have the same names as files in the other events.
For example:
Event A
- 00000-1.m4v
- 00000-2.m4v
- 00000-3.m4v
Event B
- 00000-1.m4v
Event C
- 00000-1.m4v
- 00000-2.m4v
So let's say the project he's created uses all these clips. If I attempt to "Duplicate Project + Used Clips", it won't work because 00000-1.m4v from three different events is used in the project. Apparently FCP is written in such a way that it allows you to fall into this trap. What it should be doing is either not allowing you to import a file into an event if that file name already exists in another event, or it should be smart enough to rename duplicate files on-the-fly when exporting (for example, 00000-1-1.m4v and 00000-1-2.m4v). But it does neither of these things.
The problem here is that these are the three events:
Event A = 108 clips
Event B = 68 clips
Event C = 80 clips
All FCP will say is that "two or more media files use the same name - rename the file or files and try again". Only it's not talking about the name of the file from within FCP -- it only cares about the file name as seen in the Finder. So even if I went into event A and put "A-" in front of all the clilp names, it doesn't matter, because it's not really "A-00000-1.m4v" -- the file is still named "00000-1.m4v" in the Finder, and the problem is unresolved.
Does anyone know any way of sorting out this problem without a massive amount of digging around, renaming files by hand and relinking?

I'm still stuck on this problem and in a couple of days I'm going to be sitting in on a webinar that will discuss archiving in FCP X.
I have tried several things and if I'm missing something I'd like someone to let me know. I also cannot find much on this subject which is very surprising...or I'm not searching in the right places. I'm going to submit feedback to Apple as follows:
Error: “The operation cannot be completed. Two or more media files use the same name. Rename the file or files and try again.”
Operation attempted: Duplicate project with used clips.
Second operation attempted: Consolidate project media > Copy used clips only.
Cause: Two or more events contain clips with the same name.
Eg.
event-20130126
          GOPR0002.mp4
event-20130220
          GOPR0002.mp4
Background:
          This video project resulted in a one hour documentary that used recordings from 6 different cameras shot over a span of 4 months. Each day’s recording, for the most part, was broken into separate fcp events. This resulted in 48 events.
          AVCHD imports result in media files whose name reflects the date and time of the recording which makes each of the imports’ media file names unique, even across all events.
          Imports from cameras such as GoPro’s Hero use their own original file names such as GOPR0001. Therefore media file names are not unique across all events.
          Due to render and export problems, the video was broken up into 14 separate FCP X projects, aligned with what would ultimately be a “chapter” in the resulting video.
          The 14 projects “share” events; i.e. the events used in the 14 projects (chapters) are not mutually exclusive.
          The source media as well as the events span over 3 physical external hard drives.
          All 14 projects are on one hard drive.
Consideration #1:
          It would seem that one way around this problem is to merge all 48 events. I will not do this since this function moves the events rather than copies them. Additionally, I’m not even sure if I have enough space to consolidate all 48 events anywhere available to me.
Consideration #2:
          This leaves only one other option which is to rename the source media files and relink all of them across all events.
Questions:
          1.          Why can’t FCP (internally) qualify the media file names that it imports with the event name? i.e why is it left up to the user to insure that all of the media file names are unique across all events used by a project?
          2.          If it doesn’t do #1, then why were we not warned of this before starting. I find out about this when I’m done with my project and trying to archive. Now it’s a huge task to rename and relink.
Thoughts:
          Regardless of whether there is work-around to this problem, the fact that FCP has a “feature” such as events and allows projects to use more than one event but does not manage them properly reveals a weakness and flaw. If such is the case, then it would be less painful, in this situation, to force a project to use only one event.
I wish that others would speak to this problem. Or let us know what the answer to this is.
Thanks.

T430 cannot duplicate desktop on external display

I am having a problem with my brand new T430.
I have purchased a miniDP to HDMI adapter, if I connect the adapter to my thinkpad and then an HDMI cable from the adapter to the external monitor it will correctly duplicate the display. However when I use the Fn to switch between duplicate, extend etc. I cannot get it back to successfully duplicate. If I disconnect the adapter and reconnect it will still not duplicate the display.
If I enter the monitor properties on Windows 7 the internal display is labelled as display 1 and 2 whereas the external display is labelled as display 3. I can only duplicate 1 to 2 so cannot duplicate to the external device. If I extend my display it will display on the external device as expected and if I select external only it works fine.
Anyone else experienced this?
This is my spec:
i7-3520M (3.6GHz)
8GB Corsair Vengence RAM
250GB Samsung 840 SSD
14in 1600x900 HD+ LCD
NVIDIA NVS 5400M 2GB
Win7 Pro 64
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I called Lenovo and they helped me resolve the issue.
It is a known bug with the HD4000/Nvidia switchable graphics, Windows is not able to control the clone display so in order to clone the display you must open Nvidia control panel, goto setup multiple displays, if the internal monitor shows as 'Laptop Display' and 'Analogue Display' then untick Analogue display. Make sure the external display is ticked, right click the Laptop Display and select Clone and clone to the external. Then click Apply at the bottom of the screen.

I've downloaded Mavericks and now I cannot duplicate photos in iPhoto. I highlight the photo and Photo Duplicate and nothing happens. How can I duplicate?

Has anyone had the same problem of photo duplication in iPhoto with the new Mavericks OS? All my stuff is updated and now, with Mavericks, I cannot duplicate my photos in iPhoto.

Works here.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

Cannot duplicate files in finder

I recently ugraded to Lion, and am just realizing now that I cannot duplicate files (Command D) in the finder. The progress window shows the copy being made, but the duplicate file, which used to show up just under the original file as "file name copy" does not appear. When I do a spotlight search, the copied file is nowhere to be seen. Also tried doing an Option-drag-to-finder. That didn't work either. I was trying to make a copy of an image and then rename the new file to send to someone. I had to go through Preview, then Unlock the file and then save as another name. A ridiculously long process. Anyone have any ideas?

did you try selecting the item in the finder
press cmd + c
press cmd + v
presto, you have a dupe of the file that has it's name appended with the number 1.

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.
Self has a MacBook Pro, which al new software.
My problem is, when my burn a slideshow, prop process ever before burning.
Box show: Multiflexing and burning: write Lead-in, then the process stops and ejects the disc.
I have burn a Movie test – no problems.
Self use Verbatim DVD-R
Who can help - what should I do?

How did you create the slideshow and get it in iDVD?
As a general comment try following this workflow to separate the encoding and burning processes:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Cannot duplicate a sheet if it has chart, or cannot copy a chart

Duplicate sheet is not allowed if there is chart and also I cannot copy a chart to other sheet using copy and paste or drag and drop.

You cannot duplicate the chart by itself either, though you can duplicate the table. That's probably the root of the cause for why the sheet cannot be duplicated. Now to figure out why the chart is a problem..
EDIT:
I created another 3-row table and another chart and can't duplicate that chart either. Tried it in a new sheet with the same problem.
My guess is a bug that hosed the document and there's nothing to do but recreate it. If I find out otherwise I'll let you know. But right now I have to run.

Cannot Duplicate or Copy Files

This is a repost as my issue is still unresolved.
I have a user using an Intel iMac with a server managed account. the account resides on the server. The iMac is running 10.4.9 and the server is running Server 10.4.9.
If she opens a directory on her desktop and tries to duplicate the file via Command-D she gets the error that "The operation cannot be completed because an item with the name "<insert any filename here>" already exists."
If she keeps hitting Command-D repeatedly the file will often eventually duplicate. There is no duplicate prior to her trying to make the duplicate.
Sometimes it works without an error. Usually not. I just deleted her account and recreated it, copying all her files back to her account via "cp -Rpv" in Terminal. I'm pretty certain it's not a permissions issue. I just ran permissions repair on the server. No change.
It seems like I've seen something on this but I cannot find it in the discussions. Any help is of course appreciated.

Jayce,
I am having the same problem where the I cannot duplicate the file and then the source file is deleted. Did you ever find out a cause / solution for this?

Cannot duplicate spreadsheet numbers version 3.5.2

Cannot duplicate spreadsheet in numbers version 3.5.2 operating in Yosemite 10.10.2. Numbers shuts down. I have tried deleting app and then re-installing but to no avail. Help please

Hi Joe,
Jerry was replying to Leo. Please don't shoot the messenger.
Numbers 3 is not an update of Numbers 2. It is a complete rewrite of Numbers to make Numbers for OS X more compatible with Numbers for iOS through iCloud.
If you have a specific question about layout in Numbers 3, please start a new thread.

Cannot duplicate sheets in numbers 2.3 V9

I have a long used spreadsheet that all of a sudden started to stop funcioning.I cannot duplicate or copy/paste in it any more. I can edit, add, write and create new sheets and tables but cannot duplicate tables nor paste content.
I run Mavericks. Have the behaviour on all my computers.
Really desperate.

I "solved" it opening the file in number 3.1, then saving it back in number 09 format.
What a drag.
I am a longtime numbers user. We changed our whole office from using MS Office with Excel to Numbers. I took quite a while for all to get going with the new software.
Now the upgrade to Numbers 3.1 is really a *******. The new program has such a steep learning curve that not even me, who is a geek wants to take the plunge. Apart from the problem that the whole organization has to have the newest macs only.
Now the old version starts getting hickups. We might have to go back to MS office or Google Docs.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just had the same problem even though yours happened six months ago I couldnt figure out how to change /dev/dvd to /dev/sr0 in kaffeine so I did a quick workaround: I removed /dev/dvd and softlinked /dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd and now everything works perfectly. Oddly enough how you said yours didnt work in mplayer or kaffiene but did in vlc, mine didnt work at all in any of them!
