Cd/DVD not burning. Error Code 0x8002006E when burning DVD's

I have a MacBook Black and am trying to burn cd's and dvd's. I have tried multiple brands of DVD and CD and can get the cd's to burn once in a while with a microboards printable cd. When they don't burn I get either an error saying something about not being able to calibrate laser power, or it goes through like it's burning and shows up on the desktop, but when I go to open the disk, there is nothing on it. DVD's never finish, giving me the error code 0x8002006E. It will also not read any DVDr's on the machine. Stamped DVD's (store bought)are fine, but multiple brands of DVDr will not read. All of the burned DVD's I have are personal movies and music videos that I made on the machine. Anyone have any suggestions? Is my superdrive toast?

You can check in system profile and select disc burning to verify what cd/dvds are readable by your superdrive....Also with that error message you can try removing any extra ram chip installed, with that model powerbook it also has onboard ram built into logic...being a disc reading problem id say its the superdrive itself, you can try cleaning the lens with those cleaning discs you buy from electronic stores..Burn disc whilst running on power adaptor and not battery...
just a few things to try might help you

I am getting error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD

Hi, I am running the latest Lion update, on my MB Pro, and keep getting the error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD. Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive. I see that many others have had the same problem, but relly cant seem to find anyone that has a solution that works.. Help

It's an error thrown by Mac OS X's DiscRecording framework (as opposed to an error communicated by the drive's firmware). The message is (as you probably saw)
"The burn failed because of a medium write error."
Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive.
I don't think there's one single cause for this error. It might be a dirty lens. It might be something else. Not all recordable optical discs work well with all burners. Try a different brand.

Error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn photos to a dvd disk. Please help.

Im trying to burn photos to a DVD so my friend can view my pictures on their windows computer. There is only 371 pictures for a total of 1.72G of space. It starts to burn them, and then in the middle of the process I get an error code 0x8002006E and it stops, wasting my disk (I assume because the computer no longer recognizes it afterwards). So, I am now down by two DVD disks. What I did was, I made a folder on my desk-top and placed my photos in it from iPhoto '11. I did this because it said that's how to do it if you want your friend to be able to view them on a windows computer. Then, I closed iPhoto and right click on my folder (on my desk-top with the pics in it) and click burn.

What speed are you burning at and what brand/type of DVD disk are you using? Are you able to burn a CD?
It could be a dirty laser in the optical drive. Get a disk cleaning disk, one with dry brushes - no liquids and use it to clean your optical drive. Burn at the slowest speed available, 2X - 4X. Use quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums

Error code 0X8002006D when burning DVD

I have been successfully burning 8X DVD-R until I bought a 16X DVD-R.
I keep getting an error message: error code 0X8002006D when I tried to burn on a 16X DVD-R.
I had no problems with the 8X DVD-R. Unfortunately, they don't sell 8X DVD-R anymore.

You're using the Finder to burn?
A Google search on this error code turns up a lot of
topics. Some point to the media as the culprit,
others point to Tiger, some to the drive itself.
Fuji isn't a bad brand of media, but it's not
amongst the best, either.
Generally, an older burner can use 16X media, but
would obviously only be able to burn at the maximum
speed of the drive. It's possible that your drive
doesn't recognize the media code on the disc and
refuses to burn. Sometimes a firmware update to the
drive can solve this problem.

Can´t back up from iPhoto to DVD. Unexpected error code 0x8002006E

I´ve tried to back up from iPhoto to DVD. I followed:
Create a CD or DVD by exporting
In iPhoto, select the photos, albums, or video clips you want to burn to a disc.
Choose File > Export.
In the Export Photos window, click File Export, and then select your options.For best results, choose JPEG, Maximum, and Full Size. For more information, see Export a photo.
When you’re ready, click Export, and export the photos to a folder on your computer.
When the export is finished, quit iPhoto.
Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and then insert a CD-RW disc or a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.
Drag the folder that contains your exported photos to the disc’s icon.
When the files have been copied, choose File > Burn Disc, and then click Burn.
The disc can´t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006E)
Am I missing something?
Thank you

I found this:
When burning a DVD, I also had the error 0x8002006E. I found a SOLUTION that is not discussed in this forum. I tried the three different things that are listed in this forum (delete the finder file, reset PRAM, and try different blank DVDs), but those methods did not work.
I had to repair my internal hard drive. I had to start my computer from my installation disc (version 10.5.4) (I turned on the computer while holding down "C" key with install disc in the drive). Then, you have to go to Disc Utility (at top menu bar) and click on your hard drive then click repair disc. After my computer repaired multiple problems, I restarted my computer from my main hard drive and then I could burn DVDs again. Please let me know if you have questions.
Is this the solution?

Why is the Error Code 0x8002006E While Burning the Disc?

Hey there! I don't seem to get through this Issue. I was trying to burn content to a Disc and it failed with the error code 0x8002006E, while the process was almost complete. I came across a few forums and nothing helped much to resolve this problem. Is there someone who knows the exact cause? Is this is a known-issue or anything already being addressed by Apple? Or a work-around to get this resolved? because i also read (did not try) that no third-party applications, as an alternative, solved this Issue. Disappointed! Help!

I found this article excerpt:
The few solution that where found where by calling at Apple and get technical support. There are a few solutions that might work.
The first one would be Go to users > your computer name / user name > library > Preferences > com.apple.finder.plist and delete this file. Also it’s advised to keep the burn speed at 8x.
The second solution found that Apple technical support gave is to unplug everything, including the AC power cord and then remove the battery. Press the power button for 10 seconds without replacing the battery or attaching the AC power cord and after the 10 seconds are up replace the battery. After the battery is in slot hold down the following keys with the left hand: Option + Apple (command) + R and with the right hand hold down the following keys: P + Power Button. You will need to hold all 5 of these buttons at the same time until you hear both sets of startup chimes Release all of the 5 buttons after you hear the two startup chime sounds.
Hope this helps

Patch for error code 2131 when burning CDs in itunes for Toshiba computers:

Just today, Toshiba posted patch for the infamous "error code 2131" when trying to burn CDs in itunes on many Toshiba laptops. Lucky for me, today was the first time I tried to do so, but I feel for all you other folks who have been very frustrated about this issue. Here is the link to it on the Toshiba support page:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/susc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=2024958&moid=1909174&rpn=PSAF3U&BV_SessionID=@@@@043462335 6.1208403240@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccgadedlgfhkdecgfkceghdgngdgnn.0&ct=DL&alldocs=false
I'm going to install it now and report back if there is anything tricky about it (I read in another forum that someone had already gotten the patch and had posted a link to it at a private website where there were a few different options and you had to figure out which was the right one, but this should be easier and "official")
Hope this helps!

hmmmmm. i'm proceeding under the assumption that you've got a Dell 5150/E510. if i'm wrong about that, please check in with Dell to confirm your model prior to applying any updates.
i had a look at the support site for your model (or at least, what i'm assuming your model is). your firmware appears to be up to date for the HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B that you're getting the error on, but there does seem to be newer firmware available for the SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615. so it might be worth getting that, just in case there some kind of odd interaction happening between the drives.

otherwise, we'd better check on some of the other usual suspects with this sort of thing:

Error code 0x80020042 when burning DVD

I recently updated my 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857 Superdrive to Mac OS X (10.5.6) and installed the latest updates.
Since updating I have not been able to use Burn to burn DVDs. I get the following error - Burning "xxx" failed because the disc cannot be written to. (Error code 0x80020042). I have successfully used these DVDs before the upgrade. The DVDs that I am using are TDK double layer DVD +R (Item code: DVD+R85AA).
Can anyone suggest a fix.

I have used cleaning kit from an audio/video store. It's basically a CD with a pair of brushes underneath. It has restored a failing optical drive in my tray-loading eMac several times.
But I have heard that these kind of kits aren't so good in slot loading laptops, because there is a chance of them getting stuck inside. I suggest contacting a local Apple certified service shop and seeing what they recommend.

Error Code- 6 When Burning DVDs/ CDs- Any Ideas

I recently had a problem burning DVDs from iMovie due to an error code- 6 (whatever that is!) I had put this problem to one side for a number of months, on account of the fact I don't burn that many DVDs. I have now found the problem has spread to CDs as well.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this, or is it new drive time?

Hi Skinner,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Firstly you can't burn DVDs from iMovie!
Under OS 9 Error 6 was an overflow error, although I can't confirm its the same under OS X it sounds like it could be a buffer overflow issue in iDVD. This would mean that the computer cannot supply the data to the drive quickly enough. Try the following things (which admittedly are undesirable but may be neccesary):
Close down all Applications not directly involved in what you're doing to free up processor time and memory.
Burn at a lower speed (choose 1x or 2x rather than 4 x).
Try different media those PC World branded disc may not be as good as a Verbatim.
Hope this helps

Hello,

My dvd is not recognized. I tried going to device mgr. and uninstall and then use action to get it reinstalled but I got a failed notice and said to go to manufacturer. What do I do now. Of course it is not in waranteee.
Also, on a lot of sites I try and go to all I get is squares and letters that don't make any sense. I would just like my DVD to work. I have hardly used it. Since this is an all in one it isn't like I can just pull it out.

Labview: resource not found error code 24 when building executable using 8.20 and dsc module

I am trying to build an executable and I keep getting and error and cannot seem to figure out what is wring. The whole error is "LabVIEW: resource not found. An error occured loading "interface 3.vi" Labview load error code 24: this vi cannot be loaded because it is broken and has no block diagram."
I am using LV 8.20 and DSC 8.2. I am trying to create an executable that has the web server running for using remote panels, i have netowrk published shared variables, connecting to a fieldpoint unit, and I am using the NI system tray icon vis to load the program to the system tray.
I have my shared variable library added as a support file, as well as the lvdsc.ini, and the tray icon files. I have sleected "Enable Enhacned DSC run time support" in the app builder, did not remove any type def,etc.
I cannot get the .exe to run on my development machine or another machine, I get the same error. I tried creating an installer that installed the 8.2 runtime, dsc,fieldpoint, variable engine and manager and MAX.
I could not find anything in the help files on the dsc, maybe someone else has some hints. thanks
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
I hope you are doing well today! What is interface 3.vi? Is it possible for you to post your project over here? Also, I would recommend creating a simple DSC application; and would like you to build it. Do you still get errors?

Was burning cds fine for years, now I get this error code.

If you recently installed or updated disc burning software it may be conflicting with iTunes.
