Cd rw drive wont burn

Had a iomega 650 cd rw drive worked fine but died. bought newer model iomega #55292. cd rw
When dialog box to name cd comes up i get a drive not supported message. Tried i tunes and i photo. checked system profiler and said burn not supported. went to iomega website, they say they don't support my OS...unless I spend $34.00 for software. Any ideas on how to get this to burn without spending more than cd rw drive costs????
I am going to upgrade to Tiger soon, will that help or hurt???
any help will be appreciated

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
According to the information in _this Yahoo! auction_, it works with Mac OS 8.6/9.0.4/9.1 (no mention of OS X) and it really needs a USB 2.0 port.

my super drive wont burn dvd . and i get an error : sense key medium error sense code =0x73,0x03 for cd it work fine and read dvd ok just wont burn dvd of any kind tryed differrent makes but no result .. help pls

Hi and welcome to the discussions!
Google is your friend...
I found this on a Roxio forum, but it offers the best advice I have seen anywhere about this error.
Basically, it is most likely the media or the speed you are trying to burn at. It could be a few other things, but those are the most likely culprits.

Cd dvd-r drive, wont burn cds anymore

i have been using my sony dvd rw dw-u10a drive, i have not changed the type of disks i am using but now when i try to burn any type of disk, audio or data, i get an error 3, any ideas? also any ideas where i can find the driver for this, i cant find anything on here, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
thanks nicky

Hello,
I don't know why it would start giving you trouble all of a sudden.
But, I have seen quality changes in media that could affect that. So, I would try some different disks.
For example, I had one brand of disks that worked 100% reliably for me for a long time.
Then, half a box (50-pack) wouldn't burn at all. But, then some other disks from the same box burned fine.
So, you could still benefit from trying another brand or batch of disks.
As for a driver, I have installed this one:
http://www.patchburn.de/
It will install the appropriate driver for your burner and enable full support.
I have found it to work great for me, and enabled external burners to work that wouldn't work before.
So, give that a try as well.
I hope this helps.

Super drive wont burn dvds

when i click the burn symbol the disc will eject and say error 34, start up disc is full. i have 80 gb on my computer and 75 are used up. i have just had a new drive put in aswell as apple store said other one was stuffed. how can i unfill the start up disc and make work? thanks for any info on this, LC.

Lydon,
Per Narya's message, I don't think you have 6gb available....but there are several ways to confirm that. Since you have used Disk Utilities let's stick with that method...when you open Disk Utility any mounted disk, such as a hard drive, will be displayed. The first line is the mfr's model, etc along with the max capacity of the drive. The second line is the name you've give the HD. If you click the name, you will see the information at the bottom of that window display, among others, the Capacity, Available, and Used. Please confirm what you have available.
In terms of freeing up space there a number things you can do. The easiest is to make sure you have emptied your trash bin(Cntrl-Click the Trash Bin and click 'Empty Trash'). See how much space is available now.
So what's the deal with your other Hard drive...you mentioned in your first post? Is it external? Details.
Re. Maintenance scripts..there are many posts on this topic...you can do via terminal or there's freeware that automates the job. OSX actually does this stuff but your computer needs to be on when the job is scheduled. Otherwise it will not run. So here are a few that allow you to schedule/run the scripts in a much easier fashion:

HELP - Drive Wont Burn DVDs

I've recently transferred a video tape to iMovie, and then shared it to iDVD. The first time I saved it as a disc image and then went to burn it to a DVD with Disc Utility. Each time I tried, I was instructed to insert a blank disc, and then once I did, I it changed the message to 'waiting for drive'. After about a minute, it spit the disc out with no explanation. I then tried to burn a disc directly from iDVD with the same results.
This is a procedure that I've performed countless times, with no problems. I'm using blank Verbatim 8x discs. I've inserted both audio and data discs in the drive, and it seems to be reading them, so I know the drive is spinning and reading. What might the problem be, and what can I do to correct it?

"This is a procedure that I've performed countless times, with no problems."
Using Verbatim 8x discs? I use 16x w/o any issues what-so-ever. Sometimes a simple restart and/or repairing permissions & restarting the computer cures CD/DVD drive hiccups.
Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd
Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.
You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.
At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
This will bring up the Help Menu.

My dvd drive wont read (or even accept the existense of cds) much less burn them. HEEELLLLPPP

my dvd drive wont do alot of the things it is supposed to like burn cds, or even recognize them, also when I went to my profiler it says the drive doesnt exist. as far as I know the model is an MATSHITA DVD R UJ 875. my computer will still read dvds, but if there is a cd inserted, then it makes some aggrivating noises and then spits it out, I know little to nothing about SERIOUS computer work, like firmware patches, or bridges or whatever the terms are. When I try to burn anything, it cycles almost burns, but then, like clockwork. the error messafe pops up that there is an un expected error. I am at my witts end here is there any thing I can do to fix this problem, without spending money I really dont have right now? (I am going to school and it starts this thursdaty) or should I just get my SKS out and fix the problem with a Full metal jacket? someone help. if need be my email is [email protected] Please help me if you can.
Thanks all

D drive wont read my CS2 disc

My D drive wont read mt Cs2 disc. It says there is no disc in the drive, but ive tried it on other comps and it works. I tried burning the disc and that didnt work and i have no ext hard drive. anything suggestions?

Assuming the cd you burned was intended as a backup of your original Adobe CS2 disc, perhaps you didn't finalize it when you burned it. Use the original disc instead. If you don't have an original disc, you might consider that this forum is sponsored by Adobe.

Hello teperepc,
Take a look at this page for trouleshooting your cd/dvd drive not working. About those other programs - do they freeze every time you use them? Do any other programs freeze, or just the audio/video stuff?

Optical Drive not burning DVD's

I keep posting a similar discussion but nothing is working. I have this ASUS optical drive for burning DVDs. I was told it doesn't need to be installed because you only need to install it if it's windows. I've tried burning through the disc utility and through creating a new file and clicking burn "so and so" to a disc. After the burning is completed and I try putting it in a DVD player, it says "Unknown Disc" so I'm doing something wrong along the way.
The ASUS optical drive is Mac compatiable so that shouldn't be the problem.

Do you get this error message with all current burn attempts, or simply with your most recent project?
If not, a PRAM reset has been known to be helpful.
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My external hard drive wont show up in the "Save to:" menu when I try to import videos

My old external broke so I found my old one and plugged it in and went to import some videos on imove from an sd card but my external hard drive wont show up on the "save to:" drop down menu. I've been on utility disk to try and repair disk permission but I can't because the button isn't lit up. I can only click on verify disk or repair disk. I tried both of these but it still wont come on the drop down menu. It is showing up on the left in the event library but it has a little yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark in it.
Hope that all makes sense!
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Ok in disk utility it says Format : MS-DOS (FAT32)
Sorry Im not sure what you mean by can it connect via firewire? Sorry I'm a bit useless with technology haha

Hello Alfster76, Did you uninstall the DVD drive in the Control Panel, Device Manager, then reboot the system and see if it finds new hardware and installs the drivers for it?
Sometimes this works. If not, you might check the data and the power cables going to the DVD drive, just to insure they are properly connected.
If this does not resolve the issue, the DVD drive may have become faulty.
