CD burning problems - upgrade to v 9.1.079 didn't help

My CD burner has stopped working in iTunes. It starts to burn the first track, then stops and ejects the disc with an error message (error 4251). Before it started doing this, it burned a disc, then produced an error message after the fact (I didn't write it down at the time) saying it wasn't successful. That disc plays but some of the tracks are garbled. Ever since that burn, it ejects with error 4251 before getting through the first track.
After reading some postings on this board, I tried installing the newer version of iTunes, but it didn't help. Has anyone figured this out yet? Below are the diagnostics from my latest test.

It appears that multisession DVD's are not supported properly through DIsk Utility.
As ever, you have choices.
There is the hard way (that has the redeeming feature of being free): http://www.math.nyu.edu/aml/CDwrite.html (yes this covers DVD's too).
There is the easy way (that costs a bit of cash, although your first 20 burns are free):
http://freeridecoding.com/burnagainfs/index.html
However with a DVD-RW you can erase the disk and reuse it with Disk Utility. Just click on your DVD drive in the left hand panel of Disk Utility and follow the instructions.

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:

  • DR4-A Burn Problems

    I have had this drive for a year or two and have had virtually no problems.  Recently, I upgraded my Pinnacle Studio software to version 9+ and began to have burn problems.  I flashed the system BIOS and the DVD Firmware, unloaded and reloaded the application, and even reloaded the prior version which used to work well.  I was able to do my editing and save the project but have had numerous problems attempting to burn to DVD.  I am using the same batch of DVD's that I have always used (generic DVD -R and a second brand which I don't recall at the moment) and when I attempt to burn it just sits there with the green light on.  On a whim, I popped in a +RW last night and obtained a successful burn.  I followed it up with another -R and even after letting it sit all night, it still did not burn.
    Pinnacle has no answers and i've tried everything that the group over on the Pinnacle Forum had to suggest, all to no avail.
    Has anyone run into a problem whereas you are able to burn RW's but not recordables?
    Any recommendations, thoughts, or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Alan,
       Just for grins, go buy a couple of new disks in a different brand and see what happens.  I'm convinced my media "spoiled".  Although, I don't fully understand how that could happen, but I guess light exposure could have something to do with it.  I had my problem before updating the firmware or the drivers, and none of the updates made any difference.  I guess I could suspect the laser might be getting weaker and just won't burn the old media, but as long as I can get the job done right now, I'm not too concerned.  It will be time to upgrade to a faster drive in the not too distant future anyway.
    HTH,

  • Problem Upgrading to Apex 3.1 on XE

    I am running into a problem upgrading Apex to 3.1 on Oracle XE.
    Hardware and Software:
    Database: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
    PL/SQL Web Toolkit Version: 10.1.2.0.4
    Host O/S: MS Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2
    Host Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 2.2 GHz, 1.87 GB RAM
    Background:
    This is a lab host. I am working through the full installation process so that I can set up XE and Apex on development and production hosts, the end in mind being to develop a simple application using XE/Apex instead of Access 2003, which is used heavily in this shop.
    It seems to me that upgrading to Apex 3.1 would be a good thing to do up front instead of developing in the version which ships with XE (2.1, I believe) and performing the upgrade later.
    I installed XE going with full defaults. Nothing at all tricky. I was able to connect to http://localhost:8080/apex without any trouble and log in as system.
    I then followed these Apex upgrade instructions, very carefully:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_and_xe.html
    After I ran into trouble (see below), I reviewed this post and used it to double-check my work:
    How to upgrade to Apex 3.1
    I have worked through this a number of times, each time ending up with the same error.
    The Problem...
    After the upgrade, when I navigate to http://localhost:8080/apex, I receive the following error:
    wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err
    wwv_flow.err wwv_flow.app_not_found_err
    OK
    I reviewed this posting, which suggests that I upgrade my PL/SQL Web Toolkit:
    apex 3.0 error wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err after new installation
    I am perfectly willing to try this, but I am not sure how to obtain the latest correct version of the web toolkit for this particular version of the database. Any tips on where I might find this?
    I also note that the posting says there should be 10 SQL files in the apex/builder directory. I only have 5, but I just downloaded this zip file a few days ago and assume this is the correct number of files. If it isn't, where could I find the correct zip?
    Any other suggestions about the root cause of this issue would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Well, like Sherlock Holmes said, "when you have elminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Or, something like that.
    Thanks Joel, it was the files. I examined the zip file I originally downloaded and, sure enough, there were 10 files. I extracted it again and, for some reason, this time it only pulled one of the SQL files out, not even five as it did the first time. In addition, it also skipped about half the language folders.
    To get it work, I used the windows built-in zip to open the file, navigated to the apex/builder folder, selected all of the SQL files and language folders, then copied and pasted them into c:\apex\builder.
    I then restored the database, ran the install again, and everything worked just fine: I can access http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin and log in.
    I'm not sure what the issue is, a problem with the zip file or (ok, more likely) a problem with the built-in windows zip tool. I used 7-zip (www.7-zip.org) to extract the file on my workstation and all 10 files and 9 language folders came out just fine.
    The bottom line is, it works now, thanks again for the help.
    -Tom
    PS - I did not install the web toolkit upgrade.

  • Problems upgrading from Dreamweaver 4 to CS3

    The website I manage is www.episcopal-dallas.org. Today, I
    upgraded from Dreamweaver 4 to CS3. In Design view, I can edit
    about half of the pages, but those of the other half (including the
    index/home page) have gray backgrounds (with a few exceptions that
    have white), and, although I can make changes in the code, I cannot
    edit them in Design view. The cursor forms the universal "nicht"
    sign — circle with a diagonal slash through it. I can't find
    any commonality between the ones that I can edit and the ones I
    can't.
    Also, on some of the pages, the navigation panel that is
    supposed to be on the left side has ended up above the text of the
    main body of the page. Manuals I have say nothing about upgrading
    existing websites.

    > Apparently, DW4 didn't make

    > unless you detach them from each other.
    You should never have to do this.
    I hope your understanding of this doesn't cause further
    problems for you.

  • Problems upgrading from OS 8.1 to OS 9.2.2

    Thank you for any help you can give me.
    I have some additional problems upgrading from OS 8.1 to OS 9.2.2.
    1. The keyboard is typing symbols, not normal letters. When I go to Key Caps it shows symbols and not normal letters. When I was running OS 8.1 the keyboard typed fine.
    2. I also am have trouble with windows closing as I open new windows. Everytime I click to open a new folder the old folder closes.
    3. Copying files. When I drag a file it makes a new copy on the desktop.
    How did I goof up going from OS 8.1 directly to OS 9.2.2?
    All these problems were fine while running under OS 8.1.
    I believe this computer came with OS.8.6 installed on it but I got it with OS 8.1.
    Any help you can pass on to me would be greatly appreciated.
    I am typing this on my Dell PC.
    Thanks a million,

    iMac G3 333   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Easy, I just insert my OS 8.1 System Software into the tray loading CD and choose it as the start up disk in the control panel. I restart the computer and it is running off of OS 8.1 instead on OS 9.2.2. I looked for another keyboard today at a used computer store but they didn't have one for the iMac. I need to find one as all my research indicates that it is somehow connected to the option key. But then again everything works fine under OS 8.1. Quite a puzzle to me. Again thanks for the page tip on Firmware. Jim - PS, I did pick up a zip drive that connects to USB ports.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard 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.

  • Burn Problem: "Formatting Failed...blah, blah, blah"

    Got a hand-me-down G4 500 MHz with DVD Studio Pro 2. Installed a new LaCie internal DVD drive (model #300980).
    Authored a DVD, clicked "Burn", it encoded and compiled OK, but just as it started the burn process it stopped, ejected the disc, and gave me this error message:
    "Formatting Failed. The recording device reported the illegal request. Invalid field in cdb. (ox24, 0x0)"
    I did a firmware update, placed the LaCie.drprofile in the Library/DiscRecording/DeviceProfiles folder, but it didn't help.
    I CAN copy and burn a DVD with Toast however, so it appears to be a problem between DVDSP2 and the LaCie drive. WHAT the problem is I have no idea, which is why I plead for your help.
    ~Barry~
    PS: I need this DVD for a possible job, so I'm screwed if I can't get it to work.
    G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I'm assuming you can't just build the Video_TS in
    DVDSP 2 like in DVDSP 3+4 or else I'm sure you would
    of just built it there then used Toast to burn it
    right?
    Uuuuuuuhh. I forgot to mention that I just taught myself DVDSP2 a couple of days ago, and that I'm a PC lifer in conversion to the Mac way.
    Now that I feel kinda stupid, I'll just go learn how to do that. I assume that I just somehow bring the menu and all that stuff into Toast?
    Thanks, amigo.

  • Fans run full speed on stand-by and burner problem iMac 24-inch early 2009

    In standby sometimes the fans are running at full speed. Also with burning some CD or DVD's the burner makes an awful grunting sound.
    For a 2 year old Mac I did not expect to have these kind of problems!
    Resetting the iMac does not help. Might this be a Lion problem?
    Optical Drive is running at 4800rpm, normal 798rpm
    Hard Drive at 5903rpm, normal 1599rpm
    CPU at 3598rpm normal, 1200rpm
    The burning problem only happens sometimes, not with all.

    What did you do to reset the imac? Problems like these are "sometimes" solved with an SMC reset.

    I'm not trying to minimize your issues, but I have an iPhone 5S and find that I have not had these types of problems on AT&T. I'm wonding if something has gotten stuck in a loop that is continually trying to use data. If you make a good backup of your phone, try restoring it as new, and do not add anything to the phone right away. Let the device run like this for a little while and see what kind of usage you have. You report you phone is showing usage of 21GB. Did you rese this setting on the phone to begin at your billing period? The reason I ask this is some people believe this setting resets on its own with your billing period, it does not. This has to be manually reset by the user, so it might not be that accurate depending on the last time that you reset it.
    If the phone seems to not use so much extra data during the period the device does not have extra apps on it, then try restoring from your backup and see what happens. If this increases your data usage quite fast again, then there is probably something corrupt in the backup that is causing this issue.

  • Burn problem - "internal target failure"

    Can anybody help me with a burn problem that is driving me crazy, especially as I am a recent migrant from Windows. Every time I burn in iDVD from an iMovie I get the error message at the burn stage, i.e. after 2 hours encoding etc. "The recording device reported the hardware error: internal target failure (0x44,0x00)". This is after reporting the problem to my dealer and having the Superdrive replaced under guarantee. Any ideas gratefully received.

    Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
    That may be a media/burning speed issue.
    I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
    David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
    iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
    Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Influencing query security - burning problem

    Hi all,
    I've a burning problem that I was not able to find a solution for within 1 week so far.
    I want to simplyfy a selection of variables needed to run a query. So in fact you need three different values to identify a specific set of data. In order to not have the user to enter those 3 independent values, with all the risk of selecting invalid combinations, I created a new InfoObject that holds the three infoobjects (and some more) as attributes. So the user selects only one and I'm doing the work behind the scenes using user exit variables. I've created a multiprovider to combine the two cubes and the infoobject. The value that the user is selecting fron the "dummy" object needs to be excluded from the selection otherwise he'll see no data. This works very well so far, but as soon as security comes into play I run into problems. With security activated on the dummy infobject, the F4 help screen that allows the user to select what he wants to se is restricted, so it only shows the values that he's cleared for. Which is fine. When he selects one of the values it will be excluded as I#m using a selection option variable (no authorization variable) as the default of the variable needs to
    be exclusion and not include. When the query then is executed I'm getting a message that the user is not authorized to read the security object (BRAIN804). So I probably will need a security variable, but this is not working to do what I need as a authorization variable gets populated with all the values that the user is cleared for. I only want one value and that should be picked fro the list.
    Also this value need to be excluded otherwise I'll see no data as the dummy infobj. is not contained in the other two cubes.  Have restricted the query to only use the two cubes and not the infobj. but as long I don't exlude the value it will retrieve no data.
    Now my question - how can I influence the behavior of the security variable ? Remove some values via user exit, switch from inclusion to exclusion
    or just use the security entries to read them and build the contents of the F4 help.
    So any idea - answer is highly appreciated.
    Bernd Dümmel
    Eastman KODAK

    Arun,
    I was able to resolve the problem by adding # to the restrictions. That allowed me to be able to switch from exclude to include on the variable the user does the input. This also allowed me to switch the variable from selection option to single value. In doing this I then could add the authorization variable to the restrictions as well. Now the F4 list is restricted (based on the authorizations of the user) and all the security is working. So without the trick with the # value I would have needed to implement security within some user exits.
    Thanks
    Bernd
