"disk burner is busy" message when trying to burn a disk

When I try to burn a CD of a playlist in iTunes, I get the message "the disk burner is busy" before I even insert a blank CD.

Late reply but I had the same problem and found this question.
In my case it turned out that Windows 7, running in Parallels Desktop, was blocking access to the DVD drive. Once I quit Parallels I could burn the disk.

  • Getting "layer break" error message when trying to Preview a single sided DVD, or build an ISO image or disk folder

    Hi!  Hoping someone might be able to help with an odd problem.  I haven't found anything in the forums or the web that match my symptoms.
    I've been using Encore CS6 (v6.0.1.013) on a MacBook retina over the past year to successfully create a number of single sided DVDs with menus, chapters, and all that.  I usually make a copy of a previous DVD project, and then replace video assets with the new files and transcodes, move and rename chapter markers, and rework the menus in Photoshop.  I then will build ISO images for both DVD and Blu-Ray (both single-sided), and use those to burn many copies of each DVD for clients.
    This week, while developing one of these projects, when trying to build a DVD ISO image that looked like it would fit on a 4.7 GB DVD, I received the "layer break" message ("The chosen layer break does not satisfy dual layer requirements.  To fix this, either set a new layer break manually, or choose to set layer break automatically.") because (I'm guessing) the material was too long for the 4.7 GB DVD (the Build screen now shows about 5GB of material are in the project).  This is the first time I've seen that message - usually Encore just tells me the material is too big for the DVD.
    I re-transcoded the material down to well under 4.7 GB (about 3.9 GB), reverted and replaced the transcoded files, and now the DVD build screen shows that there are about 700MB free on a 4.7 GB DVD.  But I still have not been able to build any version of the DVD (image, folder, disc), without getting the "layer break" message.  I also now get this same layer break message when trying to "Preview from Here" any menu, killing my ability to preview the DVD menus in Encore.
    Just to see what would happen, I chose an 8.4GB Dual Layer DVD, and chose "manual" instead of "automatic" for the layer break selection, but never got the layer break selection dialog box, just the "layer break" error message.
    I typically build both DVD and Blu-Ray images from the same material in the same project.  I use different transcoding settings for each, and I have been able to build a Blu-Ray ISO without this "layer break" error on the Blu-Ray build (which is about 24.5GB when built).  And as I mentioned before, this is the first project on which I've even seen this layer break message.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  I'd rather not recreate the project from scratch, but I'm worried that I may have to.
    Thanks
    Jon

    The total project being small enough may mean you have one layer that is too big. Both layers have to be smaller than half the disk, right?
    Be sure you "run as administrator" for dual layer projects.
    Encore may set the layer break correctly if it finds a good place, but there are numerous complaints about it being unreliable.
    Build to a folder (no layer break is set), then use ImgBurn to build and ask to be prompted for layer break. ImgBurn is also unreliable under some circumstances.
    The most frequent problems appear to be when there is no good location for a break. Do a search for "layer break imgburn" and you will see a variety of strategies.

  • HT3275 Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feat

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

    I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Im getting error message when trying to burn disc

    im getting erorr message when trying to burn disc ''device failed to collabarate the laser power level'' what does this mean?

    Hello, cinemann,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    +Can you help me?+ Maybe....probably....but you need to give more information about your project.
    What are you trying to burn? Movies, photos? From where? iMovie, iPhoto? What versions are you using?
    What exactly is the error message? At what point do you get the error message?
    What is the 'path' that you checked?
    What OS are you using? How much free drive space?
    Once you provide more specific information, we can address your problems.

  • HT1478 i get a message when trying to sync..."requried disk cannot be found" even after enableing disk use

    i get a message when trying to sync..."requried disk cannot be found" even after enableing disk use

    First make sure you are using the most up to date version of iTunes and have all the latest Windows updates/patches installed on your PC.  From there, try again and if still no luck, make sure you are plugging your iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port.
    Otherwise try these steps:
    1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (i.e. *Device Manager*), and leave it open for now for later use
    2. Start up iTunes
    3. Next, connect your iPod.
    4. Go to your iPod Settings and select the “Enable disk use” option from under theSummary tab.
    5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Go ahead and hit OK
    6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
    7. Quickly switch to the Device Manager window and right-click on any item within the window and select “Scan for hardware changes”
    8. Finally, switch back to iTunes, and try re-syncing your iPod to see if it helped.
    It might not also hurt to trash your iPod's Photo cache if it has one (i.e. you sync photos to the iPod).  See this article for information on where to find this folder on your Windows XP machine.

  • "The Directory Service is Busy." Error Message When Trying to Rename PCs on AD 2012 R2 Domain

    As the title says, I'm trying to rename some existing PCs on a Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory domain, but I keep getting the error: The
    Directory Service is Busy.
    The command I am using is:
    netdom renamecomputer <OLD_NAME> /newname:<NEW_NAME> /ud:DOMAIN\user /pd:* /force /reboot:300
    This command works on some machines but not others. Using Powershell elicits the same response. Any troubleshooting suggestions?

    Hi,
    Considering that your issue isn't really PowerShell specific I'd probably try asking this question over in the Directory Services forum:

    Thanks for replying. I went to the store and bought CD's and DVD's of different brands, many of which I have used in the past. All but a couple of them worked. Maxell, Memorex, Verbatim and Sony did not work.
    After several long discussions with AppleCare and some tests, they finally determined that the Superdrive needs to be replaced. So, I'm off to the Apple Store.
    Thanks again!

  • Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

    error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
    Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
    I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere?  I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp?   It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up.  I'm almost certain  it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
    I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
    Any help?

    You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
    Best of luck.

    Hi
    Common issues for this :
    1. Once you install crystall add on ,you need to go to Crystal report Administration >Account setup .
    Put on the user name and password and click on creating ext tables
    Try then running the report .
    If not the case ,
    make sure you install runtime .
    You need :
    1.Crystal report basic from SAP download -(Not necessary if you want only report viewer >
    2.You need to have crystal integration addon (I think service pack is SP1)
    3.Make sure you have runtime install
    When you are installing ,make sure you restart your PC before you do or remove temporary file s
    Hope this solves your issue

    All of a sudden i get the following message when trying to save newly created pages or numbers documents into my documents folder
    "The file “Untitled.numbers-tef” couldn’t be opened". THis is for doocuments created from scratch.
    Can anyone please help?
    I'm relatively new to new to the iMac and OS so not sure if something has been set up incorrectly - but it's been working OK for approx 3 months.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I spoke too soon. I began a new movie and imported
    photo clips, which rendered just fine. However, I
    can drag transitions in between the photos, but they
    simply will not render. Everything was just swell
    until yesterday afternoon when I changed the length
    of the clips so that there would be enough room for
    the transition. I tried to do multiple clips at the
    same time, but they never rendered. It was then when
    I was unable to add any more transitions.
    Aha! That may be different problem. There's a bug in iMovie that makes it impossible to update image clips after you empty the iMovie trash. If you imported the image with the Ken Burns checkbox ON, the bug can affect you later.
    It's possible, I suppose, that this bug not only prevented you from updating the clips to a new duration, but made it impossible to add the transition to the clips.
    After importing your images with the Ken Burns checkbox on, you might try dragging the source image out of the iMovie trash, described here:

    Hi Grigsby9,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. This error usually appears when your iTunes Media folder location is incorrectly configured in your iTunes Advanced preferences. Let’s check these preferences to makes sure that iTunes is point to a folder that exists:
    Locate and organize your iTunes files - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1391
    Find and change the iTunes Media folder location
    You can change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer.
    1.Mac OS X: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    2. Click the Advanced pane.
