Disc stuck in burning mode

I'm currently burning a double-layer disc in iDVD. When I first inserted it it said it would take 9 hours to burn. I went out to work & have just returned to find it " stuck " on 3 hours 3 minutes.
What 's the problem? If there is too much footage why did it accept it in the first place? Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Marc

Did you use pro encoding settings by any chance? (if so this can take twice as long as BP settings).
Be Patient.

Mac stuck in safe mode start up loop

Hi everyone,
it seems I have run into a problem and can't find answers online.
First off I have a MacBook intel core duo on the latest snow leopard and mac software is up to date.
It all started when I had to restore my iPhone and it had some problems and got stuck in dfu mode, so when I decided to reboot it I unpluged it and went to reboot and problems started. Finder kept crashing. When I started up in safe mode I decided to save some important files and when I was done the finder problems persisted even while in safe mode. When I rebooted it would start up in safe mode and the loading bar on the bottom would get about a fifth of the way and stop, it would try again and get the as far as before and then shut down.
I tried taking out and putting back in the HD and ram as well as verbose mode. It says
Disk0s2: I/o error
invalid node structure
(8, 12827)
**the volume mac HD could not be verified completely.
/dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) exited with signal 8
When I decided all was hopeless I tried reinstalling the os but it got stuck on examining additional disks.
If you need any info let me know. HUGE thanks ahead of time as I am writing this from my iPhone 2g and have a useless MacBook and dfu'd iPhone 4.

Restart from your installer disc. Do not run the installer. Instead, from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility & run its Repair Disk step. If it can repair the HD, try reinstalling the OS again. If it cannot, you can try a more powerful (& expensive) disk repair utility like Disk Warrior, which may or may not be able to repair the damage. Otherwise, you will need to reformat the HD (losing all its data) to recover.
You should always have a backup of your data. If you do not, it may be worth gambling on the price of Disk Warrior, but remember that there are no guarantees it can repair the damage.

Ipod is stuck in Disk mode

I have reset the ipod twice, connected to my computer and Itunes, synced the device, yet it remains stuck in disk mode.

Hold down the center button along with the menu button and then your ipod will turn of
After that step has been completed and your ipod is switched off you turn your ipod back on but press the play/pause button so that it switches from disc mode to non-disc mode.
Well then your ipod is back to shape and you can carry on listining to your music!

Hp Pavillion windows 8 stuck in safe mode- no display

My girlfriends pavillion notebook has the win 8.1 upgrade on it. It came with win 8. The display is broken and she has been using a monitor connected via the HDMI port. She was having performance issues, freeze up, delayed response type stuff. Bad enough I decided to restart in safe mode to work on it. I did so without thinking about the HDMI port not being enabled in safe mode. It was actually a Safe mode/minimal restart. So now I can not get it out of safe mode because I have no display without the HDMI port. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried a hard boot, where you take out the battery, disconnect everything and hold down the power button. Though highly recommended several times she did not make a start up disc or recovery disc.

Hi
Please refrain from using caps! looks like you are shouting.
You say that your machine is stuck in safe mode. when you boot does it go straight there?
Good read on accessing the advanced options and repairing your machine.

I have a track stuck in "solo" mode. What to do?

I have a track stuck in solo mode. The solo light on the track is not illuminated. The solo track lock is not activated. What can I do?

Then I guess that the free space on Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk is less than 5Gb or worse - I never go under 25Gb when doing a DVD.
To make a DiskImage
• Start a new iDVD project (as there is an iDVD bug luring in old projects (closed one time))
• Arrange all material: Movies, SlideShows and extras etc
• Go up to File Menu - and down to Save as a DiskImage
(You need a minimum of 25Gb to let this work OK)
• Then close iDVD
• Double click on the .img file You just created on DeskTop
• Start DVD-player tool (If it doesn't jump up in action by it self)
• See that all plays as You want it to do
• Close DVD-Player tool
• Open Disk Util tool (Application folder / Tool folder)
• Now to the left - select the .img file
• Go up and click on BURN
• When asked to do so - Insert a new DVD
• NOW SELECT TO SET DOWN BURN SPEED TO x4 or x1 (as this gives a significantly better result)
I Use
• Verbatim
• DVD-R
And get a very good result
OK mishmumken - I never figured out WHY I'm such a BLAB ! - You concentrated this to 100% Valu - GREAT

My iPod Touch is stuck in recovery mode after I left it on while updating!!!

I was updating my ipod touch 3rd generation (ios 4.3, i think) and I saw a wasp and left the computer on in the middle of the updating process and now the ipod is stuck in recovery mode and it says the only way to get it out is to recover it, but that will erase everything!!! HELP ME!!! until i get an answer      I HATE YOU, APPLE URGG
operating system: whatever the latest available to itouch is.

Without knowing what the error message said all I can suggest is:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

for a while i couldnt even put it into disk mode
now, when it is plugged into the computer it is stuck in disk mode, yet not recognized by the computer or itunes
it makes the sound when i plug it in but never shows up
also, when its not plugged in, it starts up and just brings me to a screen that says use itunes to restore. but then i plug it in and it goes right to disk mode and do not connect, and isnt recognized
when i unplug it i can see it pop up on my computer for that one second i unplug it
ive tried this on a number of computers and it does the same thing
when i unplug it from being plugged into the computer it just sits in diskmode saying ok to connect
if i reset it by pressing center and menu, it just goes back to the use itunes to restore screen
i cant get it to enter diagnostic mode, and when i hit center and play after center and menu it does nothing either
ive just about had it with ipods
this is my 3rd or 4th classic that i have had problems with

any help greatly appreciated....but im prety sure ill be moving onto another product after this

Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) Randomly Getting Stuck in Sleep Mode when Unplugged

Hey guys, this is my first time posting so please excuse me if I do anything wrong. Here's the issue:
I have a Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) that has had an issue with the whole computer shutting down at random, but only when unplugged from the MagSafe power adapter. Upon scouring all the forums and discussions I could, I haven't found anyone with the same exact circumstances as myself, hence this post. Let me explain.
Many say it's a battery issue. That can't be, because this has been happening for months, and after I finally got my laptop repaired a few days ago, it still occurs. I had sent it in for a logic board failure, but consented them to fix any other parts that weren't functioning properly. Upon the return of my machine, I found that they installed a fresh hard drive, new battery, new logic board, and a new speaker on the right side. This must mean that neither the logic board nor the battery are the issue.
What else can this point to? Again, it only occurs when the Mac is unplugged from a power source, and it doesn't totally shut down. It goes half way, essentially stuck in sleep mode. The white indicator light on the front freezes, and the power button has to be held to fully turn the laptop off, then pressed again to reboot. It can last anywhere from a single minute to a few hours before shutting off again, and it's always the exact same circumstance, no matter what kind of computing I'm doing at the time.
Note that while no one else has found the solution to lie within resetting the PRAM or SMC (in the discussions I read), I still need to try that tonight and see if it affects anything.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Macs are having problems with SSD drives. The root cause is the OS X journaling file system. The Apple-written SATA controller driver can saturate the bus at times, inhibiting performance. Some manufactures are even selling special "Mac" versions of their SSD drives that are slowed down on purpose to compensate for this problem. Unfortunately, the problem still exists in Snow Leopard, from what I've read.
Also, I read that Apple has secretly slowed the recent new laptops down (3.0GB/s to 1.5GB/s) to compensate for the problem.

MacBook Pro- Stuck in safe mode!?

Hi, I am a first-time MacBook user and need a little help...
I am running lion software and recently performed a software update (pop-up screen general update). Since doing this, my Mac is now:
- Only allowing me to type in Shift Mode i.e. I cannot type '1' but it types '!', '3' becomes '£', etc etc
- Stuck in safe mode
- Will not recognise any USB's (however i suspect this is because it's stuck in safe mode!)
Any help would be much appreciated??? I cannot use it any more, and it makes me just want to get rid of it! :-(
Thanks in advance....... :-)

Try resetting the SMC - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 - see the drop-down menu on "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own."
Good luck,

MacBook Pro stuck in sleep mode: can't restart or shut down, black screen

I'm running the latest version of Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro Unibody. After installing the latest Software Update, including a Firmware update for my SuperDrive, the following problem has occurred, for the very first time:
I closed the lid of my laptop for the night, as I do routinely every night, thus putting my MBP to sleep. I leave the various apps open, usually Firefox, iTunes and Entourage. The next morning my MBP felt hot and the screen remained black... it would not change. After repeatedly trying and failing to clear the black screen and bring my apps up, I held the power button down to do a complete Shut Down. My system turned off, but did not do an actual Shut Down. When I press the power button to turn it on, it comes right back into sleep mode with the screen remaining black. I cannot seem to force either a Shut Down or a Restart. I unplugged all peripherals and the power cord, let my MBP cool down completely--for a couple of hours-- and tried everything again. Still no change: I'm stuck in sleep mode with a black screen. I've also tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, but neither works, probably because I'm not coming from a Shut Down. Is anybody else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions? I think the problem must be somehow related to the latest update, but whatever it is, I'd like to resolve it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't get into my system to see my update version, but I'm certain I'm running the most up-to-date version of Snow Leopard and all other latest updates applicable to my mid-2009 MBP, as I run Software Update routinely. I thoroughly completed all update installations, including the SuperDrive Firmware update, followed all instructions meticulously, including rebooting, and actually used my system for at least one full day without any problems. I'd even recently repaired all permissions. Everything was "humming" along very well. This problem came totally out of the blue. Because the screen is black, I can't actually see what's on it; however, I've put my MBP to sleep every night by closing the lid and it awakens in the morning when I raise the lid. This time the sleep light indicator is on, but nothing happens when I lift the lid, touch the track pad or a key. If I hold the power button down briefly, the sleep light goes out, but when I press the power button again, the light comes right back on. If I depress the power button for several seconds, to initiate a shutdown or restart, it simply shuts off the fan and refuses to completely shut down. This is evidenced by the fact that depressing the power button to start up brings the sleep light on very quickly. I can tell by the way the system sounds that it is on behind the blackened screen. Sorry I can't get you the update versions.
Thanks

Help! I finally decided to update my ipad from itunes/laptop & now its stuck in recovery mode!

Hi guys. I just saw this same question from someone else but after i logged into support I cant find the post anywhere. I hate asking again, sorry for asking again, but I need HELP and cant keep searching the posts.
Ive never updated ipad 2 before and not really good with computers. When trying to download certain apps, it would stop installing & tell me i needed to update to the latest update. Finally updated the ipad & i think syncd it but when it was done the only thing that showed up on screen is the RESTORE picture. I just realized that if i restore i will loose all my Memos & Notes. I DONT WANT TO LOOSE THEM ! I have info on ipad memo that I really need & that i didnt write down anywhere else. Is there a way to save my notes/memos/data before I restore the ipad? Ive gone 5 days without it and really need to use it. Am i just out of luck :{ ?
There was an answer by someone about restoring an ipad giving directions and after the restore it will ask u questions that u have to answer YES to. She had school notes and the other guy had 600 pics. The girl stated she did all the steps but she didnt see anyplace to say Yes and she lost everything. Im afraid to risk it and will take it to a store or something if theres away they can do it.
I babbled and im sorry if this made no sense so heres the clear question : Is there a way to save your memos, messages, notes, contacts, etc from an ipad that is stuck in restore mode BEFORE U restore? any help will be so appreciated !!!

My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode after using my "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter." How can I fix this?

My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode (I don't know the correct term) after using my Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - meaning the screen fonts and windows are larger than usual. How can I fix this? I've changed the display settings to modify it a little, but it still doesn't look right. I reinserted the adapter numerous times and restarted my computer, it still hasn't worked. Help!
