Disk error when burning in 10.3.9

This burner sometimes works, sometimes not.
Any way to confirm its the drive and not the software?
$200 for a new drive is an expensive bad guess.

Hi Jim,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion forums!
I hope I'm reading your topic correctly by suggesting that you are referring to your internal disk drive...correct? If so, have you tried booting to the install CD/DVD and checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drive and have you checked using your Apple Hardware Test disk? If you need instructions for using either post back.

Power calibration error when burning?

I get a power calibration error when burning from IDVD.
Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

Basically a power calibration is the drive writes to the blank and then tries to read it back and adjusts the laser power accordingly to get a proper burn. So there are a number of reasons you might get this problem.
One is the media itself. A bad disc or poor quality media might give you this error.
Next, you may have a dirty laser and running on of those cleaning CDs (they have little brushes on them to dust off the laser) might do the trick.
Third, could be a laser on the drive is giving up the ghost. Hopefully it is not the last one.

Unknown error when burning disc

I get an unknown error when burning playlists to blank discs. My computer begins to write the discs, but stops after a song or two.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

Memory allocation error when burning in premiere elements 2

I have premiere elements 2. I happily burnt a version of my dvd then suddenly it stopped burning and I had the above message during the burning section of the process. My computer has adequate memory to run this programme and nothing new has been added. I then downloaded Premiere elements 7 as a trial and burnt this Dvd yesterday. However today it won't burn through 7 either so i am reluctant to upgrade unnecessarily. Can anyone shed light on why I receive this error message.
Other things seem to burn but I am beginning to receive messages that Adobe is low generally on memory allocation.

Erika

Slow Disk error when using Finale Cut

I get a slow disk error when trying to play something in finale cut but when i try to verify disk and repair disk i get Error: Could not unmount disk. What is going on and how do i fix it?

You have to boot from a DVD or external OS to fix the Disk. You can't unmount a disk that is currently hosting your operating system.

Error when burning DVDs

I get a L-EC uncorrectable error. (0x11, 0x5.) error when trying to burn a very short (30second) movie onto DVD. The DVD ejects and, when it next is inserted, doesn;t appear on the desktop. Any ideas boffins???

Try Verbatim DVD+R disks. If they burn it's the media and with Sony DVD-R I suspect it's likely to be the disks.

Why does iTunes create disk errors when deleting movie files?

I use a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5. When I delete movie file from my iTunes library I get disk errors. I need to option boot select the recovery disk and repair the disk. Deleting a movie file I have placed on my desktop with finder does not create any errors. Most of the movie files are created as .m4v movies. They all play just fine with my Apple TV. I have tried turning off the Apple TV and rebooting before I delee files but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

If you let iTunes organise your media folders then that is the way it is. An option would be to change the Media Kind to TV Show which would gather them togther in one folder, but in a different part of the library.

I get a disk error when trying to upgrade to mountain lion on my mac book pro that also runs bootcamp

I recently tried to upgrade my macbook pro OSX to mountain lion via the app store. When it tried to install it gives me a disk error. I have run disk utilities and repaired, verified etc. but it makes no difference. I am running bootcamp as well and have tried to modifiy the partition sizes in disk utilities, but it says for both that they cannot be modified. I can switch my startup disk and reboot in windows, no problem, so getting my files off isnt the issue. I have also tried to recover the hard disk using time machine which i was lucky enough to backup the day before it all went wrong. However, time machine runs fine until it asks me which disk to recover and it gives me an option of the time machine disk or bootcamp, but no option for my mac partition. So, I have tried everything that makes snese, but getting errors with disks lock, cant repartition, disk error needs repair (which i know is not true, its only because of the Mountain Lion OSX that its messed up). Any ideas?

You have some other problem with your boot drive that has corrupted data backed up to the TimeMacine drive.
My advice is to boot into each operating system and manually backup just your Users files each to separate regular external drives (no Timemachine or backup software) and disconnect.
Make a note of any serial numbers, emails, address book contacts, export bookmarks etc. that isn't typically in your users folders data.
You might be able to Winclone 3 the Windows as a whole thing as it's appearing not to have issues but it's your MacintoshHD partition that is so that will have to be rebuilt from scratch.
Most commonly used backup methods
If your OS X parititon doesn't boot, you can use this to recover files.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Without any further detail about your machine I can't advise specifically what to do, but it involves using Disk Utility to Zero Erase (move slider one spot to the right or in 10.6 using Security Option) the ENTIRE boot drive and reformatting, then installing OSX fresh and then setting up BootCamp again.
If you wish to switch your boot drive for something better, this is a good time to do this.
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
If your machine is capable of Internet Recovery, then use that, then upgrade.
If your machine came with 10.6 or earlier, then use the 10.6 install disks and work up from there.

What is causing a disk error when saving psd files or writing to cache?

The problem only happens when running Photoshop CC (2104) and Bridge (actually these are the only two programs I really use my external drive for) during a save or write operation to an external hard drive. I can work for hours, with multiple files open, saving, creating, etc. without a problem and then suddenly I'll get a message from Photoshop saying, "Could not save .... because of a disk error." or from Bridge saying, ".. unable to write to cache..".
When I quit and try to troubleshoot the problem, I find that, for some reason, Mavericks has put system files on my external (non boot) drive or, for whatever reason, thinks there is a system file on it. Consequently, the drive cannot be ejected (Error message: "... one or more programs may be using it...") and I cannot repair it using Disk Utility (Error message: " ... live file system repair is not supported"). I also cannot write to it (Error message: "... unexpected disk error has occurred (error code: -50)"). The problem persists even after quitting all other programs, which wouldn't surprise me if Mavericks thinks there is a system file on it.
I have force ejected the drive a couple of times but became concerned that I might be compounding the problem. Now I just restart my computer and run Disk Utility Repair Disk. (Don't know which is worse.) Disk Utility either doesn't find a problem or, if it finds one, it repairs it. After that, Photoshop and Bridge work fine for a while.
System information:
MacBook Pro 13" 2.4GHz with 16GB RAM, 500 GB HD (recently upgraded)
Apple Cinema Display
Mavericks (up to date)
G-Technology G-Drive (Gen 5) 2TB HD connected via Firewire 800 (latest firmware)
Unconfirmed observation: I believe the first few times this problem occurred, Firefox was up an running. I made a point of quitting all programs except System Monitor when running Photoshop and Bridge and I can't remember having the problem again. The the last time the issue occurred, today, however, Safari was up and running.
Is this an OS problem, a hardware (disk drive, cable, etc.) problem, a software problem (PS, Bridge) or some combination? I have put this much detail in the post hoping someone can share some insight into the cause. I will be sending this report to Apple and G-Technology and I will report any resolution, if and, hopefully when, I find one.

The only thing that will cause a disk error is an actual error from the disk.
Photoshop is just telling you what that OS told it about the error.
It sounds like you need to boot off another disk and try to repair your disk.
Also, make sure you have a backup. And check the SMART status to see if it is failing and needs to be replaced.

Error when burning DVD - no plugin DLLS

When burning a DVD I get an error message that says Plugin Coder error : no plugin DLLS. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

They do but aren't cheap.
Look at SuperMediaStore.
You might be able to find them cheaper. I was just checking to see if they make them.

Hardware Error when burning DVD's

I keep getting an error message when burning DVD's using Toast Titanium on my iMac..it reads:
"Drive Reported an error, Sense key = hardware error, sense code = 0 x 03."
Twice after getting that message I couldn't continue to burn and it stopped, once it did continue to burn and finished successfully. Any ideas, anyone?
17" iMac G5 w/ iSight Mac OS X (10.4.3) upgraded to 1GB RAM

I get the same message today when burning from Toast 7.02 on my iMac. It happened when I was trying to make an audio CD from my iTunes collection (not when Copying from CD to CD). The exact message I got in the middle of my burn was:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = hardware Error
Sense Code = 0x03, 0x01
I tryed again with another CD and got the same thing. I never had a problem with these CD's (TDK CD-R up to 48x).
I wonder if there has to be some sort of software upgrade fro Roxio Toast or is this a superdrive malfunction/etc. My Superdrive gets very loud during this burn as well. I may take it in to Apple Genius Bar. Any ideas?

Disk Error When Verifying with Disk Utility

I have a macbook pro intel with osx 10.4.8. I'm having trouble putting stuff into and emptying the trash so i tried the mac os disk utility. when i verified it i got the following error message
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid sibling link
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
The disk repair button remained grayed out so i couldn't perform the repair. any ideas?

You're in troubles. :-/
You can try another disk utility, but basically, the best to do, first, is a low-level formatting (format with the "zero data" option checked).
If it finish that, then reinstall a system and go ahead (keep backups up to date tho)
If it does not, you will have to get the hard disk changed.
Why reward points ?
