Consistent Bad Burns 1st Time

I'm having a very odd problem. Every time I burn a new DVD with iDVD, the 1st DVD that I burn is bad (it will glitch and skip when played in a DVD player). But, if I burn a second one (insert another DVD-R right after the first is done) it will work fine. This is happening EVERY time I burn a disc.
Any ideas about what might be going on? Anyone else experiencing this?

Not too many folks have this exact issue. If there is an issue at all it's usually with subsequent / additional copies when one forgets to allow the S-Drive to cool prior to starting additional copies. Most apple S-Drives are not built to burn back to back copies and sometimes the lens may overheat which makes for a higher rate of read / write errors on subsequent copies (as opposed to the 1st copy).
But when there is the exact reverse issue, then I'm inclinded to suspect a hardware related problem. But I can't be sure until you run an extended hardware test from apple's hardware CD that should have shipped with your mac (assuming you purchased it directly from apple). The CD looks like this:

I'd recommend running the Extended Hardware Test asap, and then post those results here.

  • How to sync iPad with apps for 1st time to iTunes?

    Hi -
    Can't find the answer to this question directly, hence posting it here.
    My nephew's iPad has many apps , and photos, and he has never synced it to iTunes. He want's me to help him. I'm reasonably familiar with both iPad and iTunes.
    However - I'm worried that when he connects to iTunes for the 1st time he will have the iPad wiped clean by the empty iTunes session.
    I have searched high and low but can't find a reassuring set of steps to follow.
    Hence I would be very grateful to anyone who can point to complete, thorough online instructions, or offer them yourself, on what _precisely_ I must do to get his iPad synced to a new iTunes session for the very first time, without loosing the iPad content.
    We need to upgrade the OS badly (its the OS released from the shop purchase).
    thanks, for what is probably a question asked with a thoursand variations.
    Kind regards,
    Kevin Nolan,
    Dublin, Ireland.
    PS: Apple - if you readt this - iTunes and syncing is a very tricky to handle, with potential dire consequences if you do it wrong even once. At a minimum, please offer greater felxibility and more detailed tutorials across various troubleshooting scenarios such as mine

    Thank you both for your time and responses
    roaminggnome - my nephew was 10 when he got it and his family are not particularly computer savy. It didn't occur to them that syncing was such a priority. Thanks for the pointer to Apple feedback - I'll post my suggestion to them (I'm sure they've received it many times before!)
    Demo - that other thread looks absolutley excellent and your detailed instructions there look spot on - thank you.
    Thanks to you both again - genuinely appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Kevin.

  • How can I keep timing in Keynote consistent before burning?

    How can I keep timing in Keynote consistent before burning? And also, is there a way to preview the show,say halfway through it, without the music starting at the beginning. This solution would save a lot of hours of prep  before that final burn?

    I do tons of presentations and know exactly what you are talking about.  I have experienced presentations that (I know this sounds illogical) seem to get a little out of sync depending on the projector I am using for the presentation.
    I know this is not a great soulution but it might help a little.  With 325 pictures make 3 presentations and link them together.  This is not pretty but may help some.  This way you have 3 specific points to start and edit from and won't experience as much of a domino effect if one is off. 
    If you are just using pictures and want a fairly automated presentation you might also think of using iMovie where you can have a little more flexibility with the soundtrack and timing.  If you use iMovie you can edit each picture individually as far as time and still be able to see where you are in the soundtrack in one "big picture" no pun intended.
    Keynote is awesome in most things but there are a few that are still very quirky.
    Hope this helps at least some.

  • Help - 1st time downloading apps

    Hi, I am trying to download a free app for the very 1st time. When I tap install, I was prompt to sign and then eventually to supply by CC details. Is this a normal procedure, even with free apps?

    You can also create an iTunes account without a cc... http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534

  • For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

    For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised  by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

    I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

  • I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to go and buy apps from Itunes and App store it askes for ssecurity codes because it is the 1st time using it. can not remember. How do I reset it or find them?

    I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to buy apps from apps store and Itunes it says this is the 1st time doing it so wants me to answer security questions. Granddaughter put 2 in the ipod but can't remember them. how do i either change them so I know what they are or just take them out again?

    Strange; yesterday there was a link via which you could get a reset email sent, but today that link is missing. So if you've forgotten your answers, there is no way around the problem without involving Apple. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • No Suitable Items found for PO (error M8035) while doing MIRO against service PO for the 1st time in the Company Code

    Hi
    I am encountering the error M8035 (" No Suitable Items found for PO ") while I am doing MIRO for the 1st time against service POs (item cat - D) in a company code.
    in OMSY the period opened for the company code is : Current 06 2014 previous 05 2014
    This was done because Go Live date for the new company code is 01.06.2014.
    I am doing test in the test client now.
    I have created a vendor on today's date
    I have created a service PO on today's date (GR, GR Bsd IV, IR, Serv Bsd IV - these indicators are marked in the PO)
    I have created service entry sheet on today's date (acc assignment - K, G/L a/c was determined from the Material Group maintained in the PO)
    I have accepted the service entry sheet on 04.05.2014 (FI doc posted against the matl doc - KBS to WRX on 04.05.2014)
    I am trying to do the MIRO in the same company code on 04.05.2014.
    While I am putting the PO and its line item in MIRO item and pressing enter system shows the above info msg and nothings is appearing in MIRO item.
    I have tried to do MIRO against service entry sheet also - same things happened.
    I have tried selecting Goods Service Item+planned del cost in MIRO - nothing changed.
    I have tried posting MIRO against a non service PO (acc assgnment K, Item cat - BLANK) after doing MIGO in the same company code in the same date- PO is appearing in that case.
    FI people are able to post FB60 manually for the vendor I am using in the PO - so there is no problem in the vendor also.
    I have gone through the scn post related with the topic, unfortunately none of them solved my problem.
    Please help
    Thanks
    Sanjib...

    Can you post a screen shot for PO history ?

  • 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document for the 1st time

    Hi Experts,
    I am doing goods movement using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE in my custom code.
    Then there is some functional configuration such that, material documents and TR and TO are getting created.
    Now I need to get TO and TR numbers from LTAK table passing material documnt number and year, which I got from above used BAPI.
    The problem I am facing is very strange.
    Only for the 1st time, I am not finding TR and TO values in LTAK table. And subsequent runs I get entries in LTAK in there is a wait time of 5 seconds after bapi call.
    I have found 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document with similar issue, but no solution or explanation.
    Note 838036 says something similar, but it seems obsolete.
    Kindly share your expertise and opinions.
    Thanks,
    Anil

    Hi,
    please check if some of following OSS notes are not valid for your problem:
    [Note 838036 - AFS: Performance issues during GR with ref. to PO|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/838036]
    [Note 391142 - Performance: Goods receipt for inbound delivery|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/391142]
    [Note 1414418 - Goods receipt for customer returns: Various corrections|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1414418]
    The other idea is not to commit each call, but executing commit of packages e.g. after 1000 BAPI calls.
    But otherwise, I am afraid you can not do a lot about performance of standard BAPI. Maybe there is some customer enhancement which is taking too long inside the BAPI, but this has to be analysed by you. To analyse performance, just execute your program via tr. SE30.
    Regards

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • TS3297 Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?!(for 1st time purchase)

    Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase)  I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • New Satellite C55-A-1UE trying to set it up for 1st time

    Hi
    Just got my new Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1UE turned it on for 1st time and went through the internet set up, account set up etc. Then it said it was loading software and please wait do not turn off.
    I have been sat for over 30 minutes waiting and all I have is a circle going round n round like its loading. Seems an awful long time for it to set up - can anyone advise?

    >I have been sat for over 30 minutes waiting and all I have is a circle going round n round like its loading. Seems an awful long time for it to set up - can anyone advise?
    Well, during the first configuration, the Toshiba image has to be setup and all necessary updates has to be downloaded and installed. This takes time.
    However, it could be possible that the system would not response anymore and in such case you should simply power OFF the notebook and should reboot it again.
    Usually the system would start the configuration from the point of interruption
