Disk Utility burning issue - DVD icon not removed

Hi,
I just burned a bunch of disk images to DVD. After the first one was done burning, the DVD ejected automatically. But the image of the DVD on the desktop was not ejected. When I had inserted the a new DVD a second DVD icon appeard on the desktop. I tried naming this one the same title, but that was not allowed by Finder. So I clicked on the first DVD icon and command+e'd it. The new DVD and the DVD icon were ejected, but the new DVD's image stayed on the desktop. When I command+e'd the new DVD icon, the DVD drive made an ejecting noise and the icon disappeared.
Is this how this is supposed to work? I assume the burned DVD icons are supposed to eject when the DVD ejects initially.

  • Disk utility burning issue

    I'm trying to burn some DVD/DVD DL from disk images.....
    I never got a success with *disk utility*..
    after burning one with *disk utility*, checking disk always fails: an error on a sector (never the same)
    in the other side, burning same image with toast works fine....
    this doesn't come from the disk because first I burned with disk utility and then with toast (disks come from same cake)

  • 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.

  • Will Disk Utility Burn a DL Disk Image to DVD?

    Will Disk Utility burn a DL Disk Image created by iDVD to a DL DVD? I'd like to save myself the rendering time to find out that it won't, if that is the case.

    JCC,
    The last I knew there could be a problem with setting the proper break point when creating/working from the disk image of a double layer disc, but I may have missed something recent.

  • Disk Utility to format DVD-RAM disk

    I have swapped out my Combo drive and installed an LG GSA-4163b so that I can burn, write to, DVD-RAM disks.
    I have installed Patchburn which now allows me to burn CD's and all manner of DVD's but DVD-RAM disks will not mount.
    DVD-RAM disk is recognized by Disk Utility but I cannot figure out how to make Disk Utility format the DVD-RAM disk. How do I do this.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Douglas,
    should work pretty straight forward:
    * Open Disk Utility
    * Select the disc in the column on the left
    * click Erase (select Quick Erase if you don't want to zero out the disk)
    * Click Erase to start the process
    HTH,

  • I am so new to Mac. I just bought this Macbook Pro. No Disks or anything. I need to completely wipe and reinstall. Is there anyplace I can download the disks to burn to dvd to do a complete wipe and reinstall?  I'm running 10.6.8. Or maybe a later version

    I guess you can see how new i am to this, I typed my whole question in the subject. Any way, i bought this macbook pro used, no disks, need to do a complete wipe and reinstall. is there anywhere i can download the install disks to burn to dvd? Or buy either one, or maybe even a later version? Im running 10.6.8 currently.  Thanks in Advance! Terry

    First determine what system you really have.
    Apple menu -> About This Mac.
    If it is 10.7, you don't need installer discs, because there is a recovery partition:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848
    If indeed it is 10.6.something then you'll want to call AppleCare for the discs.
    http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
    If they determine the machine is older than 10.6's initial release (August 28, 2009), you'll want to purchase 10.6 retail, and/or 10.7 retail from the Apple Store.
    Regardless, backup your data first*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    And read the benefits of both 10.6 and 10.7:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
    and determine which can run on your machine, and decide which you want to have.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Anytime I am getting too far ahead, then let me know and we can work together on putting the essentials together for this troubleshooting.
    From your screenshot, you have a Windows 7 apparently 64 bit computer, lots of RAM. That computer would be great for Premiere Elements 11 Windows.
    But Premiere Elements 8 is only a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of your 64 bit system. So all that RAM is excessive in a 32 bit system with its limitation of max supported installed RAM being 4 GB (of which 3 GB or less of that are available).
    So, the freezing and such could be explained by limited resources depending how much you have in the project when the freezing occurs and what formats are involved - like AVCHD. The burner not being recognized by Premiere Elements is probably another matter.
    Let us start here....another place where you could be getting hit on the resource side of things....
    1. Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features in version 8 are notorious for grabbing system resources. If you have them enabled, that could account for much of the program freezing. So, please make sure they are not selected.
    a. Background Rendering. In the Premiere Elements 8 workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and make sure there is no check mark next to Background Rendering option.
    b. AutoAnalzyer. In the Premiere Elements workspace, click on the Organizer tab in the row below the selected Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and uncheck all the option under that.
    To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace go to File Menu/Exit.
    For most of us, Premiere Elements 8 was unusable without the 8.0.1 Update. Did you install that? Have you ever worked successfully with your Premiere Elements 8 on the computer where it is now? And, was that with or without the 8.0.1 Update?
    Let us stop here and see how we are doing.
    Lots of other factors to get into including the burner recognition one.
    Thanks for looking at the troubleshooting comments.

  • DISK UTILITY "internal error" PERMISSIONS REPAIR NOT COMPLETING.

    After downloading Software Updates, Disk Utility's Permissions Repair does not complete , says "internal error". Then must quit Disk Utility against computer's own advise that it may harm Hardrive?

    From Apple's point of view, it's near impossible for them to test every possible update environments, so glitches like this are inevitable. This one seems to be quite widespread, so Apple could be accused of not testing enough. Apple may well release a new update to correct this problem.
    At least, I suppose, they are good enough to provide these forums free of charge.
    Before I perform any updates, I visit places like MacFixIt.com and MacInTouch.com to see if anyone has experienced any problems. There are plenty of people out there who are happy to go through the pain & frustration and to work out solutions for the benefit of the rest of us.
    Did you fix your problem by the way?

  • 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.

  • Disk Utility Burning CDs and DVDs Windows Compatibility

    I don't burn many CDs or DVDs. However, a friend of mine recently switched to Apple, and he burns quite a few movies and CDs. He asked me how to copy DVDs, burn Audio CDs, and save files to CDs and DVDs. The only thing I knew how to do was to burn files to CDs. I know that CDs that are burned in the Finder will work on Mac OS and Windows. My question is about Disk Utility. I've read that Disk Utility does not create Windows compatible disks, however Apple's instructions for making a copy of a movie DVD are to use Disk Utility and create a CD/DVD master image to burn to a DVD. Disk Utility uses the .cdr format, which supposedly does not work with Windows. So, if I wanted to copy a Windows application CD, could disk utility make an exact copy of it or not? It seems to me that it should since I am making an exact copy using CD/DVD master, but will it do it or not? Also, if I made a copy of a Movie DVD using CD/DVD master (.cdr) will it only play on Macs or will it play on Windows also? When it comes to Audio CDs, I realize one must use iTunes to make Audio CDs. I have searched all over the internet for answers to these questions and most people say use Roxio Toast or they just don't answer these questions very clearly.

    If you have two optical drives connected to your computer, you can just clone the disc. However, I'd recommend Roxio Toast, as others have, because it'll handle all the compatibility issues for you. Dealing with Finder and Disk Utility guarantees compatibility with macs, but not necessarily Windows, or even standard DVD/CD players depending on how you burn it.
    If you have audio files, use iTunes to burn an audio CD. If you have movie files, use iDVD or Toast to burn a standard DVD (not a data disc).

  • I am trying to launch my external hard drive through maxtor central access manager.  It will not launch and I keep receiving a KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE error.  Through discussion threads, it sounds like it may be a disk utility, repair issue.  Please advis

    I navigated to disk utility and verified disk, which returned no errors.

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say that you're "trying to launch" an external hard drive, but you don't need Maxtors software to mount it on the desktop. Is this a new drive? Have you formatted it using Disk Utility?

  • Unable to reload os or Run Disk utility off osx dvd

    Late 2007 Macbook Pro ( 2.53 , 4gb Ram, 320 GB hd) Will Load into osx but has the grey status bar at every boot ( Approximate 10 Mins for full boot) Ran disk utility in osx found issues and says run off DVD to repair the disk. Ran disk utility off the original DVD that came with the mac, wont find the hard drive to run disk utility. try to reinstall the OS. The installer wont find the hard drive? any idea how to resolve the issue so I can re install the OS to remove the grey status bar.

    I can make a partition on the HD.
    You'll have to decide which works best for you:
    -boot from install disc, partition the external HD, install OS X on it, boot from it and see if HD shows up there so you can try to repair it (make sure you don't wipe out your TM data; your internal HD may not be reliable).
    -get DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro or another disk repair utility and see what it can repair (note that these are more expensive than a new HD, but can come in handy to have around).
    -get one of the SMART utilities that supposedly tell you more about your HD (I'm not a fan of either of the ones I've seen/tried and am far from confident in their results).
    -get a new HD and try restoring from your TM backup.
    -get an external enclosure (15 bucks or so for a USB model from newegg, amazon, macsales and others).

  • At a complete loss. Worried data is gone for good. Trying to fix disk by booting Disk Utility from installation DVD but disk ejects. Help!

    Hello Comunity,
    I'm at a complete loss and I hope you could help me.
    The machine I have is I believe an early 2006 iMac model. (Model identifier 4,1 if I recall correctly).
    Awhile ago I installed Snow Leopard on the machine but have since begun encountering serious problems (but I think it's due to the hardware and it's age rather than the software, Snow Leo was running smoothly) and now the computer won't start - I'm faced with a grey screen and a flashing folder with a question mark on it. I tried booting using the various key combinations and as I understood it, my last resort at fixing it myself would be using Disk Utility on the installation DVD.
    This is what happens:
    I boot the computer, insert the disk, press down and hold C (also tried Option). I hear the computer trying to read the disk, but after a considerable aount of time holding down the key and a grey screen, the disk ejects and the flashing folder returns.
    Could anyone offer an insight or advice?
    At this point I'm not even that interested in fixing the machine, but there are some extremely valuable files that I need to recover (the machine gave out just days before I got my extrenal HDD to back them up).
    I'm worried about taking the machine down to the Genius Bar - I'm a completely self-supporting student and I imagine the recovery cost would be huge (if anyone could provide any information on the potential cost of the repair and/or recovery that would help).

    One thing to try without needing the install disk: reboot holding down cmd-S. It should reboot to a black screen and text prompt. Type the following, with spacing exactly as shown, hit the return key after each line:
    mount -uw /
    fsck -fy
    Then type
    reboot
    and see if that helps.
    Do you have any other Macs in the household (or cna use a friend's) that you can try connecting to it with a Firewire cable? If so, reboot the iMac holding down T, you should see a large Firewire symbol moving across the screen. Connecting to another Mac with a FW cable will show you the iMac's hard drive mounted to the other Mac's desktop.
    You can also try Diskwarrior, which fixes drive filestructure problems. It's around $100.
    Professional data recovery cost would depend on a) whether the hard drive is actually at fault, b) if it's physically damaged or just has a filestructure problem. A physically damaged drive can go into the thousands of dollars for data recovery; a drive with filestructure issues usually costs a lot less to recover files.

  • How to back up when using Disk Utility off the DVD

    Hello. i ran into some problems installing snow leopard and can't get back into 10.5. i can only boot into my windows partition. how would i go about creating a back up from Disk Utility being run off of the installation dvd?

    If your OS X partition cannot be accessed then you may not be able to back it up. If you have another computer with FireWire then you can try booting the computer into Target Disk Mode. If you can access the drive from the other computer, then you can try recovering your files. Otherwise see the following:
    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • Disk Utility, burning CD-Rs, CD-RWs

    It used to be (in 10.3.8 and earlier?) that you could burn a CD-R or CD-RW using Disk Utility. This was how it worked:
    1. You created a disk image of the size you wanted.
    2. You dragged the files you wanted into the image.
    3. You clicked on the disk image in the sidebar in Disk Utility, and then clicked the Burn icon at top left.
    4. A dialogue came up that allowed you to choose the burn speed and whether you wanted to make the resulting disk appendable (i.e. you could burn multiple sessions on the same disk).
    This isn't working any more -- when I follow this procedure in 10.3.9 (work on a desktop G4) or 10.4.2 (home on a Mac Mini G4), I get a disk that will not mount.
    Is it still possible to burn an appendable disk using Disk Utility? If so, how? And if not, why is the procedure I've described still possible?
    Colin

    Yes, you can still burn multisession cd-rs and cd-rws with disk utility. This is directly from the disk utility help menu:
    In Disk Utility, create a disk image that contains the files you want to burn to the disc.
    The files must be from a volume with a Mac OS Extended disk format. To check a volume's disk format, select the disk in Disk Utility and look at the information at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
    Select the disk image in the Disk Utility list and choose Images > Burn.
    Select the "Leave disc appendable" checkbox. If you don't see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner.
    Insert a blank recordable disc in the optical drive, and click Burn.
    Hope this works for you.
