Disk Utility: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond...

I've been working on archiving a ton of video to DVD. I'm using Dual-Layer discs to minimize the amount of physical storage space needed for the finished project. I burned several discs in iDVD in July and regularly received errors. Then the drive suddenly stopped loading any type of media. Anything I inserted would spin briefly and then eject. Repaired permissions and followed steps outlined here and here. Took the Mac back to the store where I bought it (sadly, not an Apple Store - nearest one is 12 hrs away) where naturally it performed flawlessly for the store rep.
So I took it home and resumed burning, now saving as a disc image (ignoring iDVD's warning about the performance of DVDs burned this way) and using Disk Utility, since iDVD didn't seem to be reliable. Burned about 25 discs, error-free, in this fashion, then three days ago, got the error: "Unable to burn “Disc 19.img”. (The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.)"
Retried the same image, and it worked. Then burned two more in the same fashion with no errors. Today I got the same error again. Logs are identical for each failed burn, except for the time span between certain lines.
Price of DL media being what it is, I'd hate to keep ruining discs if there's something I can do to avoid it. I suppose it could be bad media, but it seems odd that I'd get two bum discs that close together after burning so many without issue. Checked the site and the forums, and there doesn't seem to be any answers. Does anyone have any ideas? (Other than "try a different brand of media." I've got a buttload of these discs and it's too late to return them now.) Even if it just helps determine where the issue lies. Warranty will be up soon, so if it's hardware related, I need to get it taken care of quick.

I have encountered the same problem. I have a Mac Book Pro from 2007, and it has gone through 3 DVD writers so far, all of which have ruined DVD+R DL disks. I have occasionally been able to burn one, but usually during verify, I get this error message:
Communication to the disk drive failed: 0x8002022
And disk utility fails with a "Invalid B-tree node size" error
Oddly, when I try to burn a disk near capacity (6.5Gb or more) it is more likely to fail than if I burn a smaller disk.
I've been using Memorex DVD+R DL disks, but I have used other brands in the past but they have failed, too. Out of about 50 disks so far, I have had success with about 5.

  • Burn fails: "The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or.."

    Hi all,
    Whenever I try to burn a disc with iTunes (I'm backing up my whole library), I get this error: "The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry." I'm using MBP and the SuperDrive is Matshushuita UJ-857D.
    Anyone know what's going on? I've tried 4 different discs and SuperDrive has destroyed all of them so far
    Thanks!
    Nick

    same thing is happening to me... first my superdrive would hang and i would have to force a restart... now i bought a BRAND new lacie external dvd burner and i am getting "The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry." it looks like all the posts dealing with this are fairly recent... probably an OS problem... hello??? apple???

  • "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly"

    Hello everyone,
    I have suddenly developed a problem when trying to burn a CD. I get the "Checking playlist" and "Initializing" messages, and then Writing...(the name of the first track)", but about 20 seconds later, just when seems as if it will start burning, the CD is ejected and I get the following message: ""The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
    I have browsed the forums here and it seems that many other people have had similar problems. I am running a Powerbook G4, OS X version 10.2.8, iTunes 6.0.5.
    I have used several different brands of media, and many slower burning speeds, but nothing helps.
    I can still listen to CD's with my computer, just not burn anything.
    My computer is about 5 years old. Do you think that this problem is suddenly occurring simply because my optical drive needs to be replaced?
    Also, another issue, possibly related, but maybe not, is that, after my burn failed for the first time, I put in a completely different CD to see if it would play. It did, but instead of listing the correct tracks on the CD, it showed the tracks of the previous playlist that had the failed burn.
    For example, I imported the tracks from one CD into my Library, then moved them to a playlist. When I tried to burn the contents of that playlist to a CD, I received the "attempt to burn failed" message that I previously described.
    Then, I inserted a completely different disc, but iTunes read it as having the same contents of the playlist that had failed to burn, but when I clicked on the track titles, they played from the new CD that I'd inserted, not the failed playlist. So although the titles indicated that I was working with the failed playlist, the media that played was from the new CD.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm having a similar problem. In my case, the problem started about two months ago. I regularly update software. Currently I'm at 10.4.10 and iTunes 7.3.2(6).
    In my case, I'm trying to backup recent iTunes purchases. I'm unable to burn CDs with the original combo drive (CD) or my internal NEC burner (DVDs). I get a series of coasters. Occasionally .Mac Backup fails as well. Toast 7 works fine. Even stranger, I can burn 1 DVD successfully with an external Pioneer DVD burner (4x) USB 2 using iTunes. (I have a belkin USB 2 card) Multiple DVDs fail. I recently switched to this PowerMac from an iBook and several preference files were copied with my home directory during the transition. The external drive was used with the iBook, but not on this system before which may lend to the preferences file as a possibility.
    However, I find it odd that my external drive works and both internal drives are failing. I was suspecting the IDE controller on the logic board, except that Toast works. This logic board is not as old as the computer. It was a replacement in 2005 when an after market ATI card fried and took it and the power supply out. At first I suspected a hardware problem and replaced the IDE cable which looked warn. The NEC drive is about two years old and the combo drive is the original. They are on the same controller.
    In my case it is certainly possible the drives or controller are starting to fail. I wonder if anyone else might have an external cd/dvd drive they could test that are having the problem.

  • Disk Utility burn error with dmg file

    I'm using a Pioneer DVR 106D to burn a dmg file on to a blank DVD. I've done it many times before with the disk utility.
    But now I'm getting this message when I try to burn the dmg or make a new image off the old DVD master:

  • Disk utility gives "Error: Partition map repair failed while adjusting structures to fit current whole disk size"

    I am getting the following error when running Disk Utility (under ML) on an exteral USB hard drive:
    Error: Partition map repair failed while adjusting structures to fit current whole disk size.
    I get thsi when I ask Disk Utility to "Repair Disk" at the top level of the disk hierarchy (i.e. not on one of the partitions within the disk but on the disk itself).  I was not getting this error with Lion on the same disk before I upgraded from Lion to ML.
    It seems like a bug in ML.  I found websites where they suggest that you just run Lion's Disk Utility and it will show the disk to be fine.
    Any thoughts?

    So, I finally seemed to have resolved things with the Seagate 4TB Firewire external drive.  If you Google about, you will find a thread on Seagate's own support forum that describes how to disable the sleep function on the drive.  You CANNOT ALLOW THE DRIVE TO SLEEP WHILE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAC.
    After a lot of reading, here's what I think is happening: the drive goes to sleep, after some period of inactivity, and when you shutdown your Mac, OS X tries to write something to the drive as part of the dismount / disconnect / shutdown process.  That fails in some manner, leaving the drive 'corrupted' at the filesystem or partition level.
    Then, on the next boot-up, Mountain Lion tells you that it cannot repair the drive and it mounts as read only.  Your only fix at that point is to re-partition / re-format and start over (which is big fun with 3TB of data to copy back on to the drive).
    If you prevent the drive from sleeping, whenever it's connected to the MacBook, then the above process doesn't occur and voila, the drive just works.  So far, I haven't had any problems with about a week of starting / shutting down my MacBook connected to the offending drive (translation: I was going to return the drive, but the problem is clearly with Mac OS X Mountain Lion).

  • "device failed to respond properly" error

    I have a mac mini sans dvd burner. Thus, I was happy to get a Plextor PX-740UF dvd burner in the mail. The fun stopped once I tried to burn a dvd. I have gone through 10 dvd's so far with no luck. I have been reading this forum trying to find a solution. I have tried Verbatim DVD-R lately. I saved a disc image and tried to burn it with the disk utility. Everytime I get the following error: Unable to burn "name.img" - the device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
    iDVD keeps giving me a multiplexor error. Nonetheless, I don't understand the error from disk utility. Why or how could a device fail to respond? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Are you doing it right? see below:
    File/Save As Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Disk Utility - Burning DVD from desktop file created from camcorder

    I am unable to burn a DVD from a file on my desktop. When trying to use the upper tray, the disk drive won't remain closed and I am unable to proceed.
    When using the lower tray, it begins the burn process, then returns this message:
    Unable to burn file. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
    The upper tray is a HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4480B
    The lower tray is a Sony DVD RW DRU-530A.

    Thanks for answering ALL the questions, too many times I ask as many questions as possible to get as much info as possible and I get a one line response.
    4GB file with Disk Utility should be fine.
    4x speed should be fine too, but you may want to try 2x, just in case the ATA-33 bus is struggling. The ATA-33 bus is the original bus in the MDD for the optical drives, the hard disks were on an ATA-66 and ATA-100 bus. Unfortunately ATA-33 is very limited in the amount of data it can reliably send in a given time, and 4x DVD burning is the absolute limit.
    Sony DVD-R should be fine, many here are wary of Memorex media, I use it for temporary copies of product / games discs, but never for backups.
    How is the external DVD burner attached ? FireWire ?
    It really should be working, you've already confirmed that both the drives successfully burn CDs, so we know they're recognised and operating. And you've said the 4GB camcorder file is on your desktop, ie. on the internal hard disk, so we know it's not a speed issue with the source file, like if it was on a flash drive - or is it ? Or is it still on the camcorder ? If so get it copied to the internal hard disk.
    Can you confirm the ATA-33 bus and Disc Utility support for the drive by using Apple System Profiler, if you select ATA, it should appear on the ATA-3 bus. You'll also have an ATA-4 and ATA-6 bus.
    If you click on "ATA-3 bus" you should find an entry "Disc Burning" and it should say "Apple Supported" or similar. If it doesn't then I don't think you can burn with Disk Utility. Generally, above OSX 10.4.6 (or 10.4.5, can't remember exact) all these drives are supported, for burning and booting from. I suspect you're fine as you've said you burn CDs with it fine.
    One thing some people do is to buy an ATA-133 PCI card, and run the internal hard disks off that and the ATA-100 on the motherboard. Then use the motherboard ATA-66 slot to drive the optical drives. Don't spend any money yet, we'd have to confirm that the burn speed is the issue. Like said, try burning at 2x or 1x.
    Apologies now if my Apple System Profiler instructions are not 100% accurate, my OSX 10.5.5 Mac is unavailable just now so I've based my instructions on OSX 10.3.9 ASP.

    Nvd,
    I'm sorry to hear about the problems that you are running into with your DAQCard. I can understand your frustration with the errors that you are seeing. You mention that you have tried to do some troubleshooting, I was wondering if you have tried all the troubleshooting techniques listed in this KnowledgeBase:

  • The device is not responding to the first IRQ level

    I am using a DAQCard 700 with a NIDAQ 6.9.3 driver on a windows XP. When I install the card and run the configuration uitillity (MAX) and push the test resources button, the computer hangs and responds to no input (not even ctrl-alt-del). When I push out the PCMCIA card the error message: The device is not responding to the first IRQ level. Anybody that has an answer?

    Hi PhilV,
    It looks like you had an old AT board in a computer and then the power supply went out and you evidently also changed computers to a device with Windows NT.  Now that you're in the new computer there appears to be some sort of IRQ conflict that is preventing the board from working.
    In the past when I've seen this issue and all of the proper steps have been taken to troubleshoot it, the problem is often that the board died between the last use and the current use.  However, it's not always the case, so here are a few other options.
    First make sure that you have Traditional DAQ 7.4.1 (if you have LabVIEW 7.0-8.0 or are doing text-based programming) or Traditional DAQ 6.9.3 (if you are using LabVIEW 5-6.1).  Then make sure that you followed the installation procedure outlined here: Product Manual: AT E Series User Manual (Chapter 2)
    I did a quick search on ni.com for "device not respond base address" and "irq isa" and found some of the following KnowledgeBases and links that should help you properly troubleshoot the device.
    "Not Responding to the Selected Base Address" Error
    Troubleshooting Plug and Play Devices for Windows NT 4.0
    My PC Doesn't Have Enough Interrupt (IRQ) and DMA Channels to Support the Hardware I Want to Install
    There have been a lot of advances in DAQ boards since the old AT days, so with newer devices and computers issues like this are rarely seen.  Hopefully though, the device you have is not broken and we will be able to find out what is wrong with it right now.

  • Error Message while trying to burn a DVD-R with my MacBook Pro: "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    While using my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 to burn a DVD-R I keep getting the error message: "This disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    So, I tried the iDVD and got the same error message.
    Can anyone out there help me? I've tried both a DVD - R, and a CD.
    I made a short 2:20 minute presentation from iMovie and used the "share" to iDVD, then to iTunes, then I tried exporting it to Quicktime and saved it on my desk top. That is when I tried burning by opening the blank DVD-R in the finder then draging the movie on to it and selecting the burn option. Thank you for your time in helping me with this frustrating problem.
    Peace, Pyxidis

    I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
    In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
    It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
    Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age.

  • How do I deal with this error message when burning DVD's: The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    I am getting this error message when trying to burn a DVD: The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8 Memorex DVD-R 12x Any ideas?

    First, try a different batch of recordable DVDs. If you still have problems, you may want to make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked. The drive may be failing.

    Cannot burn discs. Error message: "The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media". Then the blank disc is ejected.

    Two main possible causes:
    1. Poor media. Verbatim DVD-R work best, burned at only 2x or 4x.
    2. Dirty lens. Try cleaning the superdrive with a proprietary CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.

  • "Can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate"

    I have burned DVDs and CDs with my iMac in the past but now it's misbehaving. I tried to burn a DVD and I got the error message "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    Restarts, disk repair, permissions repair, don't have any effect. It is burning CDs without problems and the DVDs I have tried to burn were OK in the past.
    Is this something I can troubleshoot myself, or will I end up taking it in to my local Mac emporium for diagnosis?

    I am getting this error trying to burn DL DVD's.
    On a G4/800. Mac Mini 1.83 Intel, Macbook Pro 2.2 and Mac Pro 8-core.

  • "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate...."

    Using my "new" used 20inch-iMac G5, I just successfully burned my first music cd.
    Moments later, I tried (repeatedly, with a half-dozen different blank cds) to burn a second music cd, and got the following message each time:
    "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    1) What does that message mean?
    2) What should I do next to fix the problem?
    thank you

    I'm really getting tired of this, so I decided to bit the bullet and try to get it fixed. (Note that I'm talking about a 2-year old G5 iMac.)
    THE BAD NEWS:
    Apple store genius bars see this error "a lot" (even just this week), and it's usually the optical drive that needs to be replaced.
    THE GOOD NEWS:
    In Apple's article Do It Yourself iMac G5 parts you can install, they say, "iMac G5 computers are designed to make it easy for you to install replacement parts if you need to. These parts are known as Do It Yourself (DIY) parts." Listed among these parts is the optical drive. Apple even provides a PDF manual describing the simple process of replacing the optical drive.
    THE IRONY:
    An Apple store will NOT sell you this part, even at their high price of $221. They insist on doing the installation. And the price for this 10-minute procedure -- described in their online manual as sliding the drive into place and replacing the screws -- is an additional $130 (and I'm guessing they won't do it while you wait). That seems to be a labor rate of around $780 per hour for a "Do It Yourself" replacement that they won't let you do yourself.
    So Apple's $351 price to (maybe) get an old G5 iMac burning CDs again is almost 1/3 of what a brand new aluminum Core 2 Duo iMac costs.
    THE UPSIDE:
    Online third parties will sell you a "genuine Apple" super drive for around $145 (or a combo drive for $95) to install yourself. (Use Google to search for "imac g5 optical drive replacement cost.")
