Clicking at the end of a burnt CD

When I've been burning CDs recently, I've been hearing a sort of clicking sound toward the end of any album that I burn. A friend of mine listened to the problem and described as potentially a "buffer underrun" problem. Has anyone else had this problem and what have you done about it (if anything)?

Buffer underuns haven't been a problem for the last 10 years since drives came with buffer-under protection.
It's possible it's the just head moving back a forth more as it gets towards the edge of the disc.
Has this occurred all the same make of disc because sometimes they can have tiny imperfections (that you won't be able to see) which cause them to wobble when spinning at speed.
Another option is that the Optical drive fan is spinning faster due to the heat being produced which may be more noticeable towards the end of writing.
Are the discs still completing successfully?

  • Clicking at the end of each song

    I have a new 160gb ipod classic.
    After syncing songs to it from my 1.5gig powerpc g4 laptop i get staticky pops or clicks at the end of every track that has silence for a few beats.
    What the ****?
    No pop/clicks on my deck. Tracks from a mix of iTunes store, other downloads and CDs.
    Thanks.

    As a follow up, I went to the Genius Bar for a bowl of Mensa Stew, but only got some tepid broth. Here's what transpired:
    The girl I was speaking with suggested that the artifact was the software misinterpreting information between the cuts. It was only a theory. She had not heard of any other incidents to relay. First she suggested I rip as MP3's. I explained that wasn't an option for me. She listened to a few cuts on a CD I'd brought with, or rather the ends of the cuts and confirmed there was a problem with the rip. She went through my settings, and asked if I'd tried it with Error Correction turned off. I explained I hadn't and that I preferred to use it. She suggested attempting to rip one of the cuts with it turned off just to see how it did. We did that and no artifact was there. So her 'solution' was to either leave error-correction turned off always, or turn it off for those problem CD's that produce the artifact (I'd estimate about 5% do on my laptop). This did not explain why it was doing it, nor why my g5 tower, which is running a carbon-copied system with all the same iTunes settings, does not produce the artifact with Error-Correction turned on.
    I'd be interested to hear of anyone else who's been having problems importing hi-rez files in iTunes. I know of at least one other instance where the artifact produced (on a MacBook) is dis-similar to mine in that it takes the form of brief electronic beeps moving from channel to channel.
    Anyone else?

  • Do you hear the volume button click at the end of a video?

    when I use the volume button to start/stop a video, the start is fine however when used to stop there is a very noticeable "click" when stopping.
    Seems like a software bug as if there is a lag between pushing stop (and having the mechanical "click" loud click in the audio) and the actual end of record.
    does not happen when you use the traditional screen button...

    chances are they are from a fade.  have you zoomed in really really close and checked if there is a small fade in or fade out?  happens to me all the time, and with the fade out, you can't do anything to fix it (that I've found) except replacing the clip from your Browser.  See my similar question here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3589714
    Hope that helps.

  • Is there any way to insert a blank page in the middle of a document (rather than at the end)?

    I can do this in Word, but not Pages. I'm using Pages '09 Version 4.1. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank-you!

    You can also click at the end of a section and insert a new section from the Sections link on the toolbar.
    Basic rule is if you are clicked in the text, then the new section will go after the current section.
    If you are not clicked in the text then the new section will be at the end of the document.
    A section obviously does not fit inside an existing section.

  • Pausing at the end of a Ken Burns Effect

    Hi,
    I have a number of photos that I am using within imovie. I am applying a Ken Burns effect to scroll or zoom on the photo. At the end of the effect I would like the photo to pause.
    The viewer would see a photo, the zoom/scroll get to the final position, then the photo held for a couple of seconds.
    Is there a way of acheiving this - i know i can import the photo twice, the first doing the effect, the second with no effect - but how do i get the second photo exactly the same as the first photo after effect?

    I don't understand what "Option-click" means: how is this executed? I
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard, then click on the Start end of the Start/End thingy. In this context, Option-clicking applies the End settings to the Start, so the clip no longer has an animated zoom.
    I also don't see how one selects the duration of the "pause".
    The whole clip we're making is the pause. It's a second clip that plays after the first (zooming) clip. These directions create a second clip that "pauses" after the first clip zooms.
    Option-dragging the first clip makes a copy that we change into a pause. (Holding down the Option key and dragging the clip to another location duplicates the clip.)
    Hope it makes better sense.

  • Problem setting project end point (can't access the end point marker)

    I can't seem to set my project end point because the slider control that adjusts the spacing of the measures is obstructing my pointer from being able to click on the end point marker. Any hints as to how I can move the coation of this slider control so that I can access the end point marker with my pointer?

    FYI - the end point marker now turns into a bracket when you hover over it.
    THe End-of-Project Marker doesn't change at all. What you see is a change of the Mouse Pointer.
    This is called a "Click Zone" where the Mouse Pointer changes to different shapes when moving over or click on an object or an area in the window.
    Here the Mouse Pointer changes to "Trim Tool" or "Resize Tool".

  • How do I access the End User Licensing Agreement? I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I need to launch Adobe Reader, accept and close and reopen. Trouble is I can't get to an icon for file to launch. I am working on a Mac and have installed Mac

    I am using a Mac and have installed Adobe Reader for Mac, latest version. I cannot access the End User Licensing Agreement. I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I must launch Adobe, check that I agree, close and reopen. The problem is I can't find any way to launch Adobe because it appears nowhere on my launch pad, nor in my document files or on the control panel. Because of this, I cannot print bank statements nor can I get into my insurance companies billing department to make a payment. HELP!

    How about in your Applications folder?

    Hello
    Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
    With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
    I was like ????#$%?&*(???
    Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
    Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! -  is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
    The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
    How to disable it ??
    Simple question - can't find the answer !

    Helllooo !?
    sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
    Thanks !!

    I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
    Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
    a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
    Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
    Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
    any suggestions on how to fix?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • How do i start a motion tween by clicking a button and stop it at the end of the tween.

    Hi guys,
    I am creating a website for a project and i am trying to activate a box bropping down from another box when i click on the enter here button i have created. I have set the motion tween and its working when i preview i just unsure of the correct actionscript to start this tween when i have clicked the entere here button or how to stop it at the end of the tween.
    I am scared i may have made the layers in the wrong place, they are all currently in scene 1. does my second box that is dropping down need to be set inside the layers of the first box?
    Bit of a newbie at this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Create the dropping box movieclip as an animation by itself with a stop() coomand in the first frame and a stop() command in the last frame.  The click of the button should tell the movieclip to play(); at which point the animation should play and stop at the end.
    Another option would be to use an actionscript Tween to make the box drop.  Going that route the animation is what you code it to be and there is no need to have to stop it as it will end where you tell the Tween to end at.

    Thanks Michael, what is the best way of backing up, should buy a cheap standalone external hard drive rather than relying on the Time Capsule which is quite sensitive...
    If you read the link I provided you'll get an idea of one way to maintain a backup of your music files, use Time Machine, and not take up as much room on the internal HDD/SSD.

    Your internet connection speed has no effect on Time Machine/Time Capsule backups. Since that is all done locally, over your wireless network you actually do not need an internet connection at all.

    You're asking about the computer's RAM. Increasing that will not increase the size of the internal storage available to the computer. You'd need to replace the HDD/SSD of the Mac, which, depending on what model you have may or may not be possible (with new models of Macs).
