Data recording on my dvd disk not working

On my both Mac's since I installed Lion it is not possible anymore to record data to a DVD disk.
Is this a setting or what must be done?

  • Optical DVD drive not working properly: HP notebook g61

    Game disks and dvd movie disks not working consistently. Sometimes detected as empty dvd disk and asks if I want to burn to the disk. Other times does not read that there is a disk in the drive. Computer is about one month old. On one of my game disks, I have to reinsert 4 or 5 times before it will read properly. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like you use the disk drive a lot. Before we panic and recommend a new drive, try a DVD lens cleaner you can pick up at any place that sells a lot of DVDs, like even WalMart. Run the cleaner disk and see if that helps.

  • I have lost the password and the DVD is not working on my old mac G4 500mhz, how can I get back my password?

    Hi,
    A DVD drive that is not working after many years not used:
    most probably dust on the little laser lens.
    Take the drive out and if you can reach this lens: clean it with pure alcohol on Q-Tip.
    Many people throw away cd or dvd players all the time because they stopped working, and very often it can easily be fixed by cleaning this lens.
    I used to have a G5, where I couldn't access that lens. It was very sensitive to dust.
    I have fixed it several times with compressed air. One time I didn't have canned air, but a bikepump did the trick.
    If you have another mac, I'd try to access the G4 internal disk with firewire target disk mode.
    good luck

    You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk.  There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free.  I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac.  You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

  • Dvd drive not worked properly

     i have  hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action  till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my  dvd drive that's all.

    tcrite,
    Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
    Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

  • I lost my Iphone and I stored my photos on icloud, how to get those data back? My PC also not working.

    I lost my Iphone and I stored my photos on icloud, how to get those data back? My PC also not working.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Rahul.
    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

  • Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?

    Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?
    There is a disc jammed in the drive and when I try to do an install in Target Firewire mode using a G5 Tower I get an error saying the software cannot be installed on this machine, before I can even select the iMac's drive. I'm using the grey software install discs that came with the iMac.
    Is my only option to open up the iMac and get the jammed disc out?
    Thanks

    Problem solved - I posted on the general Tiger Discussions as well.

  • What disks DVD+R not working???

    I have a g5 late 2006 the fmc says 2124, looking at it says imac cd. but when im tryin to use a dvd r its not working, does it have issues with some manufactors or dont they work? Can it use duel layers im getting leopard and curious how on put 7.7gig on a disk and install it

    From your information and off one website's specs. I get you have a hybrid DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive. Currently it doesn't look like you can write to any format DVD. If you want to write to DL you will need to buy a superdrive that can write to DL.
    To really resolve the potential capabilities of your optical drive I suggest you get the information for the drive from System Profiler.

  • Please help me.ı delete mac os on my harddisk and ı format it ntfs.now ı have a mac os x install dvd but not working.ı think it is not working because of my hard disk format is ntfs.what can ı do?????

    ı delete mac os x lion on my hard disk and ı format it ntfs.ı install windows xp.now ı have a mac os x snow leopard install dvd but it isn't working. ı think it's not working because of my harddisk format is ntfs.what can ı do for install mac os x ?thanks

    The HD must be partitioned with GUID partition map and Mac OS extended (journalled) file system. Do not partition the drive into two. When you have a working OS X system, use Boot Camp to create the Windows partition and install Windows.
    If you're trying to install Snow Leopard on a Mac that was delivered with Lion installed =
    1. It may not be possible at all depending on the Mac.
    2. If it is possible, it cannot be done with the retail SL disc which is 10.6.3
    3. The only way it can be done is to obtain the original grey discs which would have come with the Mac if it hadn't had Lion installed in the supply chain. They will be at least 10.6.6 and more likely 10.6.7 or .8. You can try to obtain those from Apple Customer Services.

  • DVD player not working in Pavilion DV6-6102sa

    The DVD player in my laptop won't play video DVDs.
    It works okay with data discs, but films etc cause a problem - the drive spins up, and it sounds as though it's trying to read the disc, but not succesfully.
    Depending on the player depends on what happens:
    Windows Media Player may begin showing a garbled and unwatchable version of the disc, whereas VLC won't play anything. After a delay of at least 15 minutes (highly variable), the disc begins playing normally in both.
    According to device manager, the drive is a HP DVDRAM GT31L. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I've tried many different DVDs, all with the same result, and I've tried both Windows Media Player and VLC with equally useless results.

    To repair permissions go to Applications -> Utilities -> Disk utility -> select the hard disk in Disk Utility, and click on repair permissions in the First Aid section.
    Did you mean to mark my thing as helpful, or solved? I see you marked it solved suggesting the problem has gone away.

  • Burned DVD does not work in all players

    Hi all,
    I am quite new to authoring my own DVDs, but since I married more or less recently I thought it is a nice idea to author a DVD with our wedding pictures for family and friends. So I spent enough time in iDVD selecting themes, slide shows, music etc. Finally a previewed everything and - yeah - happy.
    So I wrote a disk image and burned this using the apple disk tool. So far so good. Mounting the newly recorded DVD workes perfect and the DVD player app works like no charm. Every menu, sound - as I want it.
    Happy, running down to the living room and try it in the stand alone DVD player (Sony HD recorder) and - big disappointment. DVD runs, first menu pops up, and the slide show starts. But after the end, it does not return to the menu, it just keeps looping the slideshow. To make it even worse, the menu button on the remote just restarts the slideshow. What the f... is wrong?
    Is there something I can to / configure to make it work correctly?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks & Cheers,
    Daniel

    Daniel,
    On your mac, open the disc image with apple's dvd player application. Assuming it plays exactly as expected and there are no issues with scene selections, buttons, etc.
    Now you can use apple's disc utility (or Roxio Toast) to burn it to dvd-r. I recommend Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Maxell for best results. Do not exceed 4x burn speed.
    Let's say you get this far and the burned dvd plays perfectly on your mac. Now it's time to try it out on a set top dvd player. Sony makes some fantastic dvd players but I would try other players as well. Best place to do this is at a store that sells dvd players like Fry's Electronics, Best Buy, Walmart, or whatever stores are available in your own area.
    Hand the dvd you created to a salesperson at one of these stores and ask the him/her to help you test drive a variety of set top dvd players to see which ones accept the dvd in question. My guess is that it will work fine on most of these players but if not just come on back for more help.

  • Aperture Install Disk not working, How can I download it?

    I have just had to replace my hard drive in my iMac and now have to reinstall Aperture 3.
    I have the disk but my computer doesn't seem to want to read it. I have the serial number etc. still and the only options i can see suggested is to downloand the trial. However, that is no longer available, is there a way that i can do this without purchasing this again??
    Thanks

    I have the disk but my computer doesn't seem to want to read it.
    Does the disk not mount at all, or does the installer not run and you get an error message?
    "check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X" . 
    Some of the older installer DVDs give his error message, because a developer certificate expired. This easily solved by resetting the date before installing, see the thread below.
    Re: Install failure for Aperture 3 on my MacBook Pro. Operating on Lion.
    If the installer disk does not mount, try to read it on another computer and create a disk image from it. Perhaps somebody can let you borrow another computer for this?
    What was the Aperture version you have been running before the crash? If it has been Aperture 3.5.1, you should be able to download it from the AppStore, Purchased tab.

  • DVD Burner not working in Mac Mini

    My mac mini (running OSX 10.7.5) all of a sudden stopped burning/reading DVDs, however CD burning and reading still works.
    I ran my system's disk utility and corrected some problems and tried again to no avail. I tried a previously burned DVD which did not work either. However, after trying several DVDs, I got the burner to work (or at least it appeared to as it went thru the usual messages of recording my iDVD movie, but when the recording message showed DONE, the screen appeared to freeze there (typically, at this point, I usually get a message that asks if I want to burn another) --I was able to hit cancel to exit the program. Anyways, the DVD did not burn. At this point on the plus side, I can now read my previously burned DVD... so I tried again to burn my iDVD Movie again but it just spits out after 15-30 seconds.
    I saw on some boards that I should try cleaning the burner? Do I have to take my system apart to do this? Do I use a cleaning disk? If this is the case, will my DVD acknowledge it if it isn't working? Or do I just spray compressed air into its slot?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is for a job that I need to get out.
    Thanks so much!

    Yes use a CD/DVD cleaning disk

    It could be that the burning laser died. Different lasers are used for CD and DVD burning
