Disk Utility DVD+R DL Burn Error..Please Help
I am trying to burn my backup image of Retail OS X Leopard 10.5.6 onto a DVD+R DL so that I can re-format my macbook because I have been experiencing some issues lately. The image is verified but about half way through the disk writing process, it says that it is finishing the burn, closing the disk, and than I get an error.
I have tried to burn the image on 2 different brands of disks wondering if that may be the issue (Verbatim and Memorex), but I am still having problems. My macbook is about a year old so I'm hoping that its not a hardware issue because the drive works for everything else.
I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out how to get the leopard image on a dvd since disk utility is not working properly. I also have an external usb hard drive, but I'm not sure if I can use that to boot my macbook with??
Here is the disk utility log excerpt:

Thanks!!!
Ok I have been experiencing the same issue when trying to create a back up copy of my retail version of MAC OSX Leopard. What I have finally figured out is that you need to create the copy from a image with a .cdr extension. I don't know the details but it works. I blew through too many DVD+R DL disk than i am comfortable with.. they're **** expensive. So this is what I did:
-First create a new image with the disk utility app in your Utilities folder.
-under the format drop down menu, choose "Master DVD, CD". Encryption set to None.
-after you have created the image, then go back to Disk Utility and select the .cdr image that you just created and select Burn. Place a DVD dual layer into the mac and i chose the slowest burn speed.. (2.4). it should burn flawlessly.
Good Luck and hope that helps!

You need to boot to recovery mode to repair the boot drive (partition containing the operating system). Hold cmd+r on boot up, or hold the alt key and select recovery when you are given the options of what partition to boot to.

I'm working on this problem which doesnt seem to be around anymore. I;ve checked the forums but no recent post has been submited ami out of date. Please help me
The problem is that I need to check that hte user has inserted the CD which is needed to run with the application. So i check the labels of all the drives but if a CD rom or any drive is empty I get the "No Disk in Drive. Please insert disk". If i click cancel it works. How do i get it to go away?????????????.
I even disable the system security which is what was suggested in the past but it still doesnt work.
Here is the code
SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
// Disable the Security Manager
System.setSecurityManager(null);
FileSystemView fsv = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();
fil =File.listRoots();
for (i=0;i<fil.length;i++){
if(found==true)
break;
if((fsv.isFloppyDrive(fil))==false){
if(fil[i].canRead() && !fil[i].canWrite()){
list= fil[i].list();

for( j=0;j<list.length;j++){
if(list[j].equals("SDBSL_CD")){
str= fil[i]+"SDBSL_CD/";
found=true;
break;
System.setSecurityManager(sm);
Any help would be muchmuch appertiated
Ive noticed that when i do:
SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
System.out.println("sm"+sm); it returns null
help!If it is soooo urgent, then perhaps you could help your own cause by making it easier for the rest of us to read your code... Hint [code] tags are there for a reason.

CD/DVD ROM I/O error - Please help
Dear all,
I have just fitted in a new TEAC DW-224E on my TECRA S1 since the old one got damaged (it was detected but its mechanics did not work at all after an accedent at a airport). The new one is detected by the OS (Win XP) and the mechanics works but the LED blinks (orange) constantly and no media can be read. When I try to open it in Explorer the OS issues the message "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.". Have you got any ideas how I can fix that or whether I should go and buy a new one. It's very frustrating not to have a CD/DVD ROM that works...
ThanksDear Pedro,
Thank you for pointing out the MS Windows issue that refers to the same symptoms my laptop has with the new CD ROM drive. I did replace my CD/DVD ROM drive with the same model. However, a close examination of the parts shows a little difference in Drive Rev kode. The original is A02 while he replacing is A01. Otherwise, they are the same model.
Thanks -
Disk Utility Unable to Correctly Burn Bootable Discs From ISO Files with Yosemite (10.10.1)
My problem is with burning ISO images to make a bootable DVD disc with OSX 10.10.1. I cannot drag and drop an ISO file (in this case, Ubuntu 14.04 server iso) to the disk utility and then burn it with Yosemite. I have to first open the ISO file, then attempt to burn it. The DVD it creates is unreadable. I tried to convert the ISO file to CDR and also IMG - same problem: disc unreadable error.
I then went back to OSX 10.9.5 and tried the same thing - worked like a champ. I was able to drag and drop the ISO file into the Disk Utility window and successfully burn a bootable DVD disc from the same Ubuntu ISO file I tried using with 10.10.1.
Hey Apple, what's up? You broke Disk Utility in 10.10.1. Has anyone experienced the same problem and found a work-around? I hate to have to keep booting an older version of OSX to accomplish this task. So far, Yosemite has been a bust for me with all the other problems I have experienced. I might as well go back to 10.9.5 on all my Macs until Apple gets their act together with Yosemite.Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
Hi,
I have the following set up:
* Lenovo T-61p
* Windows XP Pro, SP 3
* HP Photosmart 8250 printer (with nothing plugged into the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer)
I am getting the following error:
Windows - No Disk
Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x75CE023C
0x84C40C84 0x75CE023C
I have done a lof experimenting and thru process of elimination, and believe I have determined that this only happens when the HP Photosmart 8250 printer is plugged in to the USB slot of the computer.
I can stop it from happening by safely removing hardware, and removing the drive that the 8250 creates on your computer when you plug it in. In my case, this is drive E. I'm guessing if there was something in the the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer, that's what those would be, but I don't those use those functions of the printer.
I understand there is more at work than simply the printer, because I did not used to get this error, so some software changed as well, that is scanning all ports, and finding a drive that has no disk, and producing the error.
A simple google search finds a lot people all over the world having this problem, and are solving it in different ways, because the suspected source is different: Norton, HP, etc.
I have tried everything I have read, and the only thing that works was my own idea, of manually safely removing the drive the printer creates each time I plug in the printer.
Anyone every any better, more permanent solutions? Or know what the real root of the problem is? What is scanning all the drives and being showing an error message because it found an empty drive?
Thanks and Happy Holidays/New Year!I've been getting the same error on my 4G nano for the past week. I've had my nano for about a month and the first few weeks were fine. Tried it on 2 different computers (Vista and XP) and same problem. Tried it on a 3rd (XP) and it started ok. Problem started coming back after a day.
I was able to find a quick fix though. I noticed that sometimes the message says something like "iexplore.exe... no disk..." even if I don't even use IE. What I do is end iexplore.exe on task manager before running iTunes and syncing my nano. I don't get the error whenever I do this, but one drawback is that the contents of my nano suddenly pops up in a window - even when disk use is not enabled.
I've reset/restored my nano dozens and dozens of times to make sure it's clean. Leads me to believe it's a driver issue. Either that or I have a friggin malware problem I can't seem to find.
I'll be posting updates every now and then. I'm no expert so I'm hoping an Apple expert also steps in to give some input. -
i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities (from hard drive), turned out I needed to repair disk from a installation disk. Did that, I got the volume (Hard drive) repaired from the installation disk disk. To this point, great!
When I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair. I went thru two rounds of this.....
Can anyone help? thanksSorry guys, I don't see how to reply to you so I use reply to "me" basically.
So the error I get is "volume header needs minor repair" and then you need to perform repair from the installation disk message.
I did repair not verify from the disk twice. Every time ending in the "the volume had ha been successfully repaired". Then I reboot from the internal disk. Run disk utilities from it, do verify and get the same error message I got before repair. I hope this can shed some light fr you guys. Sorry I didn't include details in the original

I have had several kernel panics on my iBook G4; the panic message shows up just after the desktop appears. Although the startup volume shows up in Startup Disk, the installation disk reports an error when I attempt an erase and install. Disk utility is unable either to erase or partition the hard drive. The hard drive shows up in disk utility, but the startup volume doesn’t HELP!!!
Do you have the original system discs that came with the iBook when it was new?
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Erasing the disc and installing Mac OS X 10.5 will result in loss of the other applications (such as the iLife applications) which came pre-installed on the iBook. -

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message

If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,
