Disk Utility and/or burner not working properly

I always back up every new DVD I buy. The past month or more, every DVD I burn has been messed up. I always get a Verification failed error about 1/4 through the verification, and then the disc plays with so many stops and skips I have to restart the movie about 20 times, skipping past the bad parts, to finish it.
The reason I don't think it's the software I use to actually copy/shrink/image is because I just tried burning an old backup image (from before this started happening), and I got the same Verification failed error and the DVD screwed up and crashed DVD Player.
So how do I find out if it's Disk Utility or just my drive? I want to get this fixed. Thank you!

There are any number of them available & they all work about the same way. If you have a preferred brand name you can pick from the likes of Fellowes, Memorex, Kensington, Scotch, Alsop, ad infinitum. Prices range from ~$7-$12, some higher. Best selection I've seen is:

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

I have safari 5.1.7 and it's not working properly. Should I use Safari 5.1.9 or 6.0.4?

I have safari 5.1.7 and it's not working properly. Should I use Safari 5.1.9 or 6.0.4? Mac OS X 10.6.8. 17" MacBook Pro

Use your Software Update under the Apple menu, it SHOULD bring Safari up to 5.1.9 on OS X 10.6.8.
Apple IS issuing security and other updates for Snow Leopard users.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
Safari 6+ is only for 10.7+ users as OS X is morphing into iOS.
10.7 and 10.8 will not run your PPC based apps of 10.5/10.6
If Software Update is not working, then you have other issues, backup your users folders off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine!) and run through this list of fixes.

I had photoshop elements 8 installed on my previous computer and it did not work properly when it came to sizing photos for a website I was adding to. I now have a new computer which runs windows 7. Is it worth installing it again on my new computer?

HT4061 actually i bought iphone 4s in nov 2012 and now its not working properly as the screen goes black ....i lost the bill..is it possible to get another copy of the bill......

actually i bought iphone 4s in nov 2012 and now its not working properly and i lost my bill as well i want to request to get a copy of bill pls.....

You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user technical support forum. If you are having warranty issues with the phone, a copy of the bill is not necessary for Apple to check and evaluate the phone. If there is a manufacturer defect, they will deal with it.
What is "not working properly" on the phone. Maybe someone can help and it not be necessasry to be replaced.

CC 2014.2 Illustrator and Photoshop will not work properly on 10.7.5

I have recently download Illustrator and Photoshop CC 2014.2 on my MacBook Pro version 10.7.5.
I notice some of the functions where not working properly. For example Bounding box in Illustrator will not appear for rectangle tool. Color strip on the color box will appear as sold color instead of strips of different colors for me to choose.
I called the Adobe to find out why is this happening and they told me it was because I don't have the latest OS on my MAC. Do to company policy I can't upgrade my OS to the latest version. Adobe send me the link that is not working for two times and need the correct link ASAP.
Can you guys please send me the right link for me to downgrade?
Thank you

Piruki have you tried utilizing the Previous version option within the Creative Cloud Desktop application? You can find additional details under the install Previous version section of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.

2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

Plug and play speakers not working properly after upgrading to Windows 8.1

After upgrading to Windows 8.1, my plug and play speakers do not work properly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled them, and restarted. When I try to play music, nothing comes out. If I turn them off and back on, music will play for approximately 30 seconds, only from one speaker, then it turns off and fades to no sound. They worked fine until I upgraded to Windows 8.1. The manufacturer has not been able to successfully assist me. Has anyone else reported a similar issue after upgrading OS software? Any suggestions? These are fairly new speakers, less than 2 years old, and not used very much. I do have them installed via a K-V switch, and all other devices linked to the K-V switch are functioning properly (monitor and wireless keyboard). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wifi sudden disconnection and lock button not working properly on my iphone 4s....... It is under warranty

When using wifi on my iphone,sometimes it disconnects automatically...... And my lock button is not working properly.....

Just upgraded to iOS5 on iPad. Music app and mail does not work properly.

Just upgraded iPad2 to iOS5. Music app does not work properly. When I select a song to play, it plays a different song. Sometimes, it just stops playing songs, other times, it shuffles songs.
Not sure whats going on.
Worked fine using iOS4.3.5.
Synced the iPad to iCloud. enabled mail. It shows under settings that the iCloud mail is setup, but the mail does not appear in the mail app. Not sure whats happening with these functions on iOS5.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List

Disk Utility Failed, Mac HD not working and cannot reinstall OSX

Hi,
I am totally frustrated.
Was working on capturing video using Final Cut Pro and the application froze. After repeated attempts, I kept getting the message to restart the G5.
I tried reinstalling Final Cut Pro - and installation failed. I ran disk utility first aid and found an error on the Mac HD (Startup Disk). So I restarted machine from the DVD (pressing the C button when restarting) and ran disk repair from the DVD OSX Utility. Still got the error that "First Aid Failed" Disk utility stopped repairing Macintosh HD because the following error was encountered. The underlying task reported failure on exit. HFS volume checked 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error. Repair attempted on volume 1, 1 volume could not be repaired.
Then I tried reinstalling OSX onto a second internal SATA HD. Installation failed. Try installing again.
So now what do I do?
I am running Mac OSX 10.4.9
Please help...urgent.
Thanks
MQ

Thanks for the answer...that's what I was thinking.
The following are various issues I am considering maybe the cause:
1. Memory - I installed 2GB a few weeks ago - third party.
2. External HDs - I installed an external Maxtor 1.5TB drive 3 days ago.
3. I live in Africa - and power frequently gets disrupted - even though the machine is on a "solatek" (power stabilizer and high end protector against spikes) - 2 days ago my UPS was down and for repairs - and we had three power outtages.
Lastly, as I mentioned I live in Africa - Mombasa - Apple tech support is almost non-existent here...so I am hoping I can resolve this without having to ship it abroad.
Please help and thank you...

MacBook Air and Seagate 3TB not working properly since Yosemite

Hey all, I'm stuck all of a sudden so I'm hoping someone can help.
I have a mid 2012 MacBook Air (1.8GHz i5, 4gb DDR3 Ram) and a Seagate 3TB external hard drive (model SRD0SD1). I've never had a problem with either of these units. I upgraded to Yosemite the other day but tonight was the first time I've really used my computer since then. I went to back up some photos/video from my iPhone to the drive, and during the transfer I got a warning about not properly ejecting the disk. I checked the connections thinking the USB may have come lose, but everything seemed fine. I plugged it back in and could only see the folders, no file. I restarted the computer and could see everything fine, which is awesome, however now I cannot write to the disk at all. I get an error saying, "OS X can't repair the disk Seagate. You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files on the disk. Backup the disk and reformat it as soon as you can"
I tried repairing the disk in Disk Utility anyways, but I wasn't shocked when it didn't work. A friend of mine works in IT for a university and said this has been popping up a lot the past week or so. Does anyone have any insight/recommendations as to what to do next? I'd rather not replace the drive, it's less than 2 years old!
Thanks in advance for the help, it's much appreciated.

Seagate problems here too..
with a macbook pro 15 late 2013
Since the upgrade to Yosemite it does not read my 1 tb Seagate.
Icon does show on desktop, but finder wont open it.
I tried connecting the drive to an other mac and it works fine.
Other 3.0 usb devices work fine on the macbook.
So it seems to be a seagate-specific issue.

My facetime and imessages are not working properly.Although the apple id sign in is working the verufucation process isnt...please help.

im a new apple user...my facetime and imessages do not seem to be working properly...although when it asks to sign in and i do get through that window but when the verification process comes i dont know what happens but i am sent back to the sign in window....please help.

I assume you have turned the Bluetooth on.... (Bluetooth not working).
On the iPad, try a reset (hold the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears). I do not have an iPhone so I have no suggestion there.
