Dvd burn error--need help with error message

Ok so I have read all the support articles and many of the discussions already posted...but still can not burn a dvd.
so, I created a project on idvd, it just has two slideshows that I imported from iphoto. I could not burn the dvd directly from idvd, got the multiplexing/burn error message. I successfully created a disk image and was able to play it on my computer using the dvd player, I then tried to burn it using the disk utility and again got an error message after it started the writing proccess...the error said "The devise failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Does anyone know what this means??? I have lots of room on my hard drive and am using DVD-R sony dvds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just click on the little  in the upper left-hand corner, click ' About this Mac', More Info..and open your System Profiler. Under ATA you should se something like this:

Serial Number:

That will tell you.

Backup iTunes library problem using LaCie DVD Burner error message - help!

Hi!
I just purchased a LaCie D2 DVD +-RW DVD Burner for my Mac Mini running OS 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2. I've installed the latest LaCie drivers and iTunes recognizes the burner so no problem there. When I try to back up my purchased playlist iTunes checks the media everythings fine but when it tries to start the burn process I get this error message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-8785)." It then ejects the DVD-R. The Burner works fine with Toast, so the issue is with iTunes. I've tried using both Apple DVD-R's and Sony brand just in case that was it. Any ideas? Please?
Thank you,
Sam

i recently got an error message while burning a dvd with lacie. i had been using the same cd's etc. found the solution on roxio boards (which don't allow just anybody to join obviously).
the problem is iSight. it can cause problems with the lacie while hooked up to the other firewire connection. unplugged the camera and viola!!! lacie works again.
hope this helps you too!!!

G5 DVD burner error message? Help please?

I get this error message when I try burning a 1gb quicktime movie to dvd on my pre installed standard burner. Thanks in advance
the link below is a screenshot of the error
http://www.darkstargraphics.com/dvd_message.gif
Im at a loss and ready to by another
below is the dvd burner profile
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D:
Firmware Revision: A606
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: No

The error "internal target failure" appears on PCs using this drive as well, so it appears that it's not a Toast specific error.
However, in my browsing, no one seemed to be able to tell if it was a true hardware failure of the drive, or if it was caused by poor quality media.
I'd try other brands of media and a lens cleaner before flashing the firmware. And, if you do decide to flash the firmware, the current, official firmware for that drive is here. The link in MLCinma's post contains hacked (region free) firmware and is outdated in any event.
Let us know what brand of media you're using and what speed you're burning at.
The DVR-106D has had lots of reports of failures, so it could very well be the drive. At least a replacement DVR-111D will only cost you about $40 - $50.

DVD burn error message

I get this error message when I try to burn a data DVD: "Burning the disk failed because communication to the disk drive failed. (error code 0 x 80020022)
I am attempting to use the original drive system (Pioneer DVD-RW DVR 104) and it plays CD's and DVD's without a problem. Thoughts? Jim

just had this problem with a 17" MacPro purchased in Jan 09. Toast Titanium 9 had no problems burning the CD. tried it again in Finder but backed the burn speed down from 24x to 8x - no problem.
I can only assume it is cheap media causing the problem - we have no problems with Maxell CDs at full burn speed (24x). The CDs causing the problems are Verbatims (rated at 1-52x) that have printable surfaces.
hope this helps

Dvd burner error message "device failed to calibrate laser power"

When I try to burn a dvd, I get an error message:
The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
and then it spits out the disk. This has never happened before.
Advice?

If Wjosten's suggestion does not work, clean the dvds - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50448 or use another dvd brand - Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden are highly recommended by Mac users.

NEED HELP WITH ERRO MESSAGE 1437

so i have owned my 5th generation black 30gb ipod for a while now and yesterday i had to restart the computer.
trouble was that my ipod was syncing with my itunes and was plugged in.
i went into my itunes and it said that it could not read it so i googled my problem and then it said i had to restart my ipod and then restore it.
the restarting worked fine, but the restoring, not so good.
sometimes when i try to restore it it works, and then tells me to disconnect and reconnect. when i do that it tells me the same bs and that i need to restore it again, this time it either gives tells me that it cannot restore the ipod and that error 1437 occured.

I was getting Error Message 1437 this week and fixed it with a trip to the Apple Store. The main thing they did was hook the iPod up to a Mac, and choose Restore. While choosing Restore on my PC kept getting me Error Message 1437, Restore worked on the Mac (which has no Error Message 1437), and after restoring the iPod, it worked on my PC. The Apple Store Genius Bar staffer gave me some advice for if this happens again: 1. Select Add/Remove Hardware (bottom right of the screen) to see if the PC recognizes the iPod. 2. In folder C:\Program Files\iTunes, doubleclick on iTunes Helper, which won't show you what it's doing, but will reinstall drivers (if I'm getting this right) including the one which is somehow not working for you and giving you the 1437 message. 3. If all else fails, use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall iTunes (which, he said, will not eliminate your iTunes library), then redownload iTunes and reinstall it. Hope this helps.

Need help with SMS message telling me I have a voice mail, need to get rid of that

I have done a few searches on the internet and have found nothing that fixes my problem.
I use two message boxes/folders, one is for phone calls and the other is for SMS/MMS messages. I need to keep these this way (I am not searching though 100 text messages to find a phone number that is critical).
The problem occurred after I downloaded a new update (Jan 11th, 2010; think is like version 4.6 or something). Before, if I got a call it showed up in my call message box/folder and if they left a voice mail I have a special ring tone for voice mail messages. I also had it when I got a SMS/MMS message it went to its own "mailbox/folder" and had its own ring tone when a new one was sent. Now when I get a voice mail message due to the fact I also get a SMS/MMS message I only hear a text message ring tone (not good).
I need to know the instant I get a voice mail, the text messages are a nice thing to have for my significant other and friends. If I walk out of a location that I did not have reception and I get a voice mail, I now think its a text message and get to it when I can even though I needed it then.
Example: just think of leaving a building with your hands full heading to point B, when the voice mail told you a correction and divert to point C;
voice mail = hold everything and get the message all good
text message = head to point B, see a problem and pray you get to point C before anything bad happens).
I went to my local Sprint/Nextel store and they told me there was nothing I could do.
If this can't be fixed I will be forced to get another cell, then everyone including me will sufer because we will have to pay for it (just think taxes).
I feel exahusted in looking for a solution, if there is not one then blackberry needs to do an update.
Provided its a software problem that needs an update or maybe I am not to bright to find where to turn this off.
My questions about this would be:
1. How does the phone get a text message, does it generate it from my phone number or the phone number where my voice mail is sent
2. Once I know which number it is being sent from, can I put a text block on it
3. Last but not least, will it solve the problem?
Thanks
Incase it does not show up I have a Blackberry Curve 8350i from Nextel OS V4.6.313

HT202549 I need help with my messages app on my macbook pro.

I'm trying to send/receive messages to/from my son who recently switched from iphone to android. I have a 4s running ios 7.1.2 if that matters. When I try to send him a message through the messages app on my laptop, it says "(his number) is not registered with imessage." But my daughter who has an iphone 5 says that she gets his messages on her macbook pro and can also send messages to him from the messages app on there.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Let me know if you need any more information.

Hi WT13,
You can do that too but not with the current configuration that you have. To get SMS messages on your Mac, you would need to have iOS 8 on your iPhone and also be running OS X Yosemite on your Mac. Once you have that set up then you can enable SMS messages to have them forward to your Mac.

Need help with OutPut message

My Code's below. I'm having trouble with the out put. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
public class Retail
public static void main(String args[])
String firstNum;
String secondNum;
String result;
int prodNum;      //first number to input
double quantity; //second number to input
double total;          //total of Prod * Quantity Sold for all items
// To use American Dollar
NumberFormat moneyFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance( Locale.US );
// first number entered as string
firstNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter product number 1-5" );
// second number entered as string
secondNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( " Enter quantity of items sold" );
// convert values to type double or int from type string
prodNum = Integer.parseInt( firstNum );
quantity = Double.parseDouble( secondNum);
result = "";
switch (prodNum)
case 1: // 1st product
total = 2.98 * quantity;
break;
case 2: // 2nd product
total = 4.50 * quantity;
break;
case 3: // 3rd product
total = 9.98 * quantity;
break;
case 4: //4th product
total = 4.49 * quantity;
break;
case 5:
total = 6.87 * quantity;
break;
default: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Wrong product number entered" );
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, result, "Total Price of Items Purchased", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE );

basically what it is is it's saying it cannot resolve
a symbol, but I can't figure out which symbol?Not with the code you just posted, it doesn't. However, the error will tell you exactly what the compiler doesn't recognize. In the meantime, try this:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.NumberFormat;

        double quantity; //second number to input
        double total = 0.0; //total of Prod * Quantity Sold for all items **INITIALIZED **
        // To use American Dollar
        NumberFormat moneyFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance( Locale.US );
        // first number entered as string
        firstNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter product number 1-5" );
        // second number entered as string
        secondNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( " Enter quantity of items sold" );
        // convert values to type double or int from type string
        prodNum = Integer.parseInt( firstNum );
        quantity = Double.parseDouble( secondNum);
        switch (prodNum)
            case 1: // 1st product
            total = 2.98 * quantity;
            break;

            total = 4.49 * quantity;
            break;
            case 5:

I have tried slower speeds, a different brand of DVDs and a DVD Lens cleaner and still no luck. It started on christmas eve with Tiger and it's been doing it for the last two days on Leopard with the same system.

I created the same Topic, you can try looking for it. I just went and got my superdrive replaced, seemed to work ok.
