DLT writes perfect, but won`t read!

Hi,
because of one stupid replicator, who as a problem to take a burned DVD-9 master, we had to pack out our old DLT-Tape (which was dead), bought a new one, which writes faster than anything else which I have previously seen (Quantum DLT V 4) - but won´t read the data on the just written tapes.
It doesn´t matter if I write it in any DDP or CMF format. Any suggestions? Our G5`s won´t recognize the tape, so we updatet a G4 with FCP Production Suite and OS 10.4.9
Thank you and a nicer weekend than mine
MArus

i have the ultra scsi converter fr1sx and i make a dlt with the quantum 4000, but when i need reed the tape with dvd studio pro, don´t read it and appear a error message.
Is the ultra scsi converter fr1sx appropiate for make dlt with imac???

  • MacBook Pro Late 2008 USB provides power but won't read anything?

    I tried connecting my USB port to a portable harddrive and unfortunately the harddrive never pops up on my desktop, but the harddrive turns on and receives power from my USB port. I also have an external fan base that can plug into the USB port and run perfectly, but when I plug something in like a mouse receiver I don't get a response. I can't even plug my iPhone into the USB port to get a response, but if I plug any off the listed accesories into my other port they all work fine.
    Is my USB port faulty somehow or is there someway I can reset the hardware to work properly?
    I tried resetting my PMR by removing the battery and holding the power button but that didn't work. I also tried rebooting and holding ctrl+option+cmd and PR which also did not work and if anything messed up my Mac's booting so now i have to hold option+cmd+O+F to get my laptop to boot properly.
    I figured I might as well ask as i've made my problems worse...

    Yes sorry it was cmd+option+PR i forgot the specifics. I did do that previously. Everything is checked off to be shown under finder preferences. The weird thing is that the USB port provides power, but it seems like it doesn't process information if that makes sense. So on my WD passport external harddrive it powers onw hen plugged in, but never shows on the defective port. On the other USB port it works perfectly. The same goes with any USB accessory like my mouse which when plugged int he defective port doesn't do anything.
    A USB sandisk thumbdrive lights up when initially plugged in, but then the light goes off after a second and the disk is never recognized. If i plug the same disk in my other USB port, the light remains on and the drive pops up on my desktop and is easily read.

  • CD burns but won't read???

    hello,
    I have tried inserting numerous cd's into emac drawer in which only some will be read. the tray has no problem ejecting. The cd's that won't read, once inserted, make a double sounding "buzz" sound or "brr-brr" noise- not the usual spinning "wirrll" sound. As the tray is out i move it around with the cd inside and taht will sometimes make a difference. It seems that there is an alignment problem as the tray feels loose and easy to jiggle. CDR's sometimes work yet commercial cd's always work. Have tried a number of cleaning runs as well as tried in test account and have recently cleaned hard drive. Can someone help with this issue??

    I too was plagued by the SuperDrive problems back in August. I had 6 (yes...six) MacBooks before I gave up and returned the last one for my money back.
    Well, I just re-purchased a new Core 2 Duo Macbook with optomistic hesitation. And I am happy to report - I have a completely functional system now. I think Apple is quietly listening - even if they don't admit it.
    I am extremely pleased now.

  • I want to transfer my Windows files from my Clickfree external drive to my new iMac. iMac recognizes the drive but won't read the files. What should I do? My PC hard drive is dead so I can't hook up my iMac to that.

        I'm switching from Windows to iOS. But my new iMac won't allow me to transfer my Windows files on my Clickfree HD425 over to the iMac. It initialy didn't even recognize my hard drive during set up, so I manually went through Finder where it recognized the Clickfree drive. But my files wouldn't appear. I can't go back to my original Windows computer because the hard drive crashed, and that's why I bought this new iMac in the first place. What should I do? As a Mac newbie who was reluctant to exit the Windows world, I don't want my original babystep into the iOS world soured by my first experience.

  • DVD/CD Drive Problem: Works with DVDs, but won't Read CDs

    As the title states, my laptop's CD drive will not read CDs (it is a satellite A205 by the way).  The yellow light lights up, it makes noises as if it is trying to read the CD, but just doesn't do it.  It won't show up as a CD being there when I look it up on "computer".  On the other hand, when I put a DVD in, it works no problem.  Anyone have any idea of what I could do?  I've tried uninstalling the driver on device manager and restarting the computer, thus allowing it to reinstall it, and it didn't help.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Try cleaning out the drive with compressed air and/or a lens cleaning disk.  This often times helps. 
    Next try booting to a Linux Live CD or some other Self Booting CD like Memtest.  If it doesn't then you know for sure that the drive itself is defective as you are taking Windows out of the equation.  If it does, then you know it's a Windows problem which will more than likely require restoring the system to it's factory out of box state using the Recovery DIsks to fix.
    If the drive works with a Live CD then try going into device manager, uninstall the DVD drive, then reboot the system to have Windows automatically re-install it.  This sometimes helps as well.

  • Cd/dvd rom reads cds but won't read dvds

    I have a pbG4 titanium (M5884) with a MATSHITADVD-ROM (SR-8187) and am running 10.3.9. I can play cds fine, but when I attempt to insert a dvd, sometimes I hear something and it spits the dvd back out. Other times, it just holds the dvd and doesn't mount on my desktop. Is there any update that I need to install? I am trying to upgrade to 10.4 but my upgrade is on a dvd. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    It could mean your drive has come to the end of the rainbow and needs to be replaced. However, you could try running a DVD cleaning disc in the drive.
    Is it only the install disc that won't mount? Have you tried a movie DVD? Check the install DVD to see if it is dirty or scratched.

  • Drives Burn, but won't read newly burned disk

    I've got two sony super drives, they are burning seemingly ok, but when I eject the disk and put it back in the computer tells me I've inserted a blank disk.
    I can see the data burned into the disk, so I know there's something on the disk, but what's going on with my drives? It's both drives, so that leads me to believe that it's a software issue, not a bad drive.

    I have posted on another section, but here are my comments repeated.
    My dual disk drive fails to read some of my backup DVDs, which is a irritating. I have used a DVD cleaner, by the way. They were burnt on the machine originally and have been read in the past by both drives. I fitted 2 drives for just this sort of eventuality – and to do 2 backups at the same time, so I don't believe it is drive failure. I can restart the machine and occasionally they will read, but often not. I reduced the speed of burn from x16 down to x12 to see if it made a difference, but that is fairly inconcusive. The disks are stored 2-up in individual crystal cases, so scratching from sleeves shouldn't be a problem.
    The disks fortunately CAN be read on my wife's old iMac, so I can network the data across.
    Interestingly, some of the DVDs used are unbranded (plain white for printing), but some are 'Imation' brand. I would note that 'Tesco' (supermarket brand) DVD+R disks appear to be satisfactory at recalling data, for the time being.
    The conclusion I draw is that it is down to the quality of the disks that are used. Don't necessarily go for bargain spindles of unbranded disks for valuable backups, although I cannot definitely say that branded ('Imation' in my case) disks will guarantee your backup security.
    Judging by the lack of input on this message board on this subject, this may not be a widespread problem, but I would be interested to know if there is a definitive fix out there or if anyone can comment.

  • "Delayed Write Failed" - iTunes won't read iPod Classic

    Having problems getting my fathers xmas present working (80gb Classic).
    I have re installed the latest version of itunes, my 30gb 5th gen iPod works fine, when connecting the Ipod classic i get a popup saying "Delayed Write Failed", saying 'failure of computer hardware or nework'. Also 'Unable to save data'.
    How can i beat this sucker?

    *Disable wite-behind caching*
    Right-click on your iPod in *My Computer* and select Properties and then the tab that says Hardware. Highlight the selection that says *Apple iPod USB Device* and select Properties. Under the tab that says Policies make sure that *Optimize for quick removal* is checked.
    If you've had one of these errors then it's posible you have one or more corrupt files on your iPod. To be on the safe side you should check the drive for errors thus:
    *Checking hard-drive for errors*
    Hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) .

  • Accessible pdf passes all tests but won't read beyond first page

    I've spent a morning setting the inDesign document up correctly, then once in Acrobat I set everything up right – all tags are in order, everything is present and correct as per the zillion other documents I have successfully set up. It passes all the accessibility tests as per usual (logical reading order and color contrast aside).
    However, the document will only read the title on the first page and nothing else. Not even individual pages. If I click on a line of copy, it will be read out but there is just a deafening silence when I try to read to the end of the document or each page.
    I have no idea why this is happening. I've gone through everything I think it could be. I have tried both Acrobat and Reader on three machines now. All have the same problem.
    Please help me, I'm going mad!

    No but it's not a printer-related issue because the "Print to PDF" function also leaves out the first page.

  • PPC Mini reads CDs fine but won't read DVDs

    A friend is having this problem. I suspect it is electronic related as opposed to physical so I'm going to suggest she try creating a test account to rule out hardware. If that works, what would be the best next steps to take?

    The drive is probably on its way out. CDs and DVDs may look the same, but they're very different. Assuming they even still stock parts for that model Mini, you're looking at over $200 to have it repaired. Just get a USB external drive, or FireWire if you want to be able to boot from it.

  • New PC build w/ P6N Diamond - won't read DVD's?

    The P6N Diamond, hard drive, memory, and OS are new.  DVD drive and power supply worked fine in old system (yesterday!).  Clean install of XP MCE on new hard drive.  All MSI drivers installed off CD-ROM.  Ran online updates till all hardware and OS were happy.
    I just realized the DVD drive I did all the installs from reads CD's fine but won't read data or video DVD's.  I checked Device Manager and the DVD drive is listed correctly but I noticed the IDE controller is listed as Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller.  It has Microsoft drivers loaded.  Shouldn't the driver be from Nvidia?  It's a stretch but I'm wondering if this could be a driver issue?  I can put the old system back together to verify the optical drive works but it would be a real pain...

    I was hoping someone with the same board would look in Device Manager and see what drivers show as installed.  I can find drivers but I believe the P6N has a 680i North bridge with an older South bridge chipset and I'm not sure Nvidia made reference drivers for this combo.  I noticed MSI lists system drivers by North bridge/South bridge combination.   
    I'll swap drives between a couple of my pc's when I get off work and see if the problem follows the drive or stays with the pc, then I'll probably try reloading drivers.  It's either hardware, drivers, or OS and I really don't look forward hours of updates if I re-install XP.
    edit: I got lucky, it was the drive. 

  • DVD will read but won't write A205-S5812

    My DVD drive will read and play but won't write. Device Manager says it is a Matshita UJ-850S. I have upgraded to XP Pro sp3 from vista. I suspect that it is a driver issue but I have searched and can't find one that makes it work.
    Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions

    Not a driver issue, or it wouldn't even read.  You are missing the program required for disk writing that Toshiba suppiles with factory installs, but is lacking in commercial versions of Windows.  It is not available as a download, only as part of the factory image.  Since you changed to XP, You'll need to buy some disk writing software like Nero or Roxio.

  • Superdrive reads ok but won't succesfully write

    Hello.
    I have an imac PowerPC G5. I've burned many many CD's & DVD's over the 2 years I've owed this imac. Lately, many of the CD's & DVD's I burn on my imac are successfully burned but when played back on my imac or stand alone dvd/cd player there are skips, audio fades out, freezes up, etc.
    I have a Superdrive (Pioneer DVR-K04F) which I used for read/write. Ripping DVD's or CD's onto my HD using this drive seems to work without problem. I can also play store bought DVD's or CD's or older DVD-r's/CD-r's using this same drive and everything works fine.
    In order to remedy, I purchased a DVD lens cleaner with the tiny brushes and have since run the cleaning process 10+ times.
    So, my question is: When the drive seems to play store bought discs fine and seems to rip store bought discs fine, but has trouble burning discs...what might be the problem? I'm guessing there are separate lenses for reading and writing (apologies for my lack of knowledge on how these things work)? So perhaps, the writing side of the superdrive is failing? Is this foreshadowing that the reading side will go soon too? Any suggestions on how to remedy?
    Thanks very much for reading!

    I've been having issues with my Superdrive too. DVDs write ok, but burning CDs is a crapshoot. Audio CDs sometimes skip or have dropouts towards the end (which means the issues are at the outer edges of the CD, the opposite of a vinyl record).
    Burning at less than 24x speed seems to help. I think the cheap CompUSA CD media I'm using is to blame. I need to stick with a better brand name. It's worth the expense. Cheap isn't cheap when you're burning nothing but coasters.
    So that's my suggestion. Try a different brand, and burn at a slower speed.
