DVD ejected before completed
I am trying to burn a DVD movie that I made on iMovie onto a DVD-R using iDVD. I get to the "multiplexing and burning" stage when the DVD is ejected. Nothing displays on the screen, it looks like it is continuing to burn. There is nothing burned onto the DVD. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I am not getting an error message or anything, just the DVD ejecting without the movie completed.
I think Snow Leopard is the problem.
A: might be on a G5....
Question: Isn't snow leopard intended mainly (if not exclusively) for intel macs?

"Snow Leopard is an upgrade for Leopard users and requires a Mac with an Intel processor."
The above may also help address your concerns on the following thread also. But if not just come on back:

PS CS6 (mac) dvd ejects before being read.
PS CS6 (mac) dvd ejects before being read.
Hi ,
We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
Are you able to mount other optical media successfully? If you put the Photoshop CS6 DVD in another Macintosh is it able to be read properly? If you can read other discs fine and the disc won't mount on another Mac then it is likely a problem with the DVD.
If the DVD can be mounted on another Macintosh then it is probably an issue with the optical drive on your Macintosh.
Btw if you need the install files you can download the trial from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop. You can then use the serial number included with your software purchase
In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

Disc ejects before completion in iDVD
Hi, firstly I'm a little behind the times having only recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, my problem is iDVD. I have a collection of images that I am trying to burn via iDVD all goes well until the burning, the disc ejects about 8 minutes before completion, this has happened five times, I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, as the permissions appeared to be incorrect and did not repair in utilities, but still no joy.
The machine is 2.16Ghz intel core 2 Duo, Memory 2Gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and there is 80GB of memory, also it is iDVD 7 1.2 I know it's not the latest all bells and whistles machine but it worked until the recent upgrade.
Hope someone can help
Thanks.Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed (2x - 4x) available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

CDs and DVDs Eject Before They are Read
Hello,
When I insert a CD or DVD, it is ejected before it is read. I read a few posts on this list that mention this problem, but none that resolve it. So, I have a couple questions.
First, I read that one solution might be to do a PMU reset. I'm more than willing to try, but it sounds like this is supposed to be a last ditch approach. Is it really ok for me to do this?
Second, a Mac-using friend said that my battery may be on its last legs. This may be true, but would it really affect my CD/DVD drive?
And third, if it could be battery related, is there a way to test my battery before I invest in a new one?
Thank you for any advice!Hi,
WhatSize is a great program to see what is on your hard drive as well as deleting files/folders/applications.
If you are going to use WhatSize to delete any files/programs/applications, please be careful and make sure you know exactly what you are deleting and if there are any repercussions. WhatSize will show you files that you would not normally see; they are referred to as "invisible files". These invisible files are hidden from the users view because they would clutter the desktop and they hold vital information that if corrupted or deleted may cause problems. Please make sure you know what you are doing!
Have you deleted files that you don't use; like for my iBook, GarageBand. I use GarageBand on my iMac because it is much easier and faster, so I deleted it on my iBook. Have you tried the "erase install method"? The reason for doing this is because Mac OS X installs all the necessary fonts, languages, drivers, etc that people all over the world my need, by default. This tends to take up some room that you might want to get rid of (make sure first what you don't need and need). You erase and install your system software (Knowledge Base Document 301270 About Install Options w/ Mac OS X 10.4), and when installing, do a custom install. This way you can install the languages, drivers, and applications you want. The same technique can be done with iLife.
I hope that helps,
Jon

I have been using iDVD for some time, but recently it has been ejecting the DVD during the final stage of burning so the process is incomplete and the DVD does not work. Any ideas about what could be the problem? Thanks for the help!
DocHistorically, IMHO, Macs have always been picky about media, be it CD-R/RW or DVD+/-R/RW
Like others here, I've found Maxell and TDK to work consistently, and mixed success with generics, store brands, and Imation.
I don't think an official reason was ever found - some said it was color on the recordable side, with the Mac drives preferring blue & purple, but green and gold were problematic. -
CDS & DVDS Ejecting before they can even read and internet videos crashing

when in idvd the disc ejects before multiplexing and burning are completed therefore the disc has issues when viewing. there are damaged areas. Is there a work around to burn the movie?
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see. -
I am try to burn a iPhoto slideshow on to a dvd in iDVD, when I click burn I get error message and dvd is ejected. I have burned dvd's before. What am I doing wrong?
error message I don't have SuperDrive and dvd is ejected
If you don't have a SuperDrive you will not be able to burn DVDs.
Did iDVD come preinstalled on your Mac? If it did then you should have a SuperDrive and be able to burn DVDS. Check the Disk Burning section of System Information
to see what you can read and write with your optical drive:

IDVD ejects disc before completion???
I have read that in the past years this is a reoccurring problem . . . but I just don't know how to fix it. The last time I burned a DVD was 2-3 months ago and it worked fine. I've burnt many dvd's before using iDVD and they've all worked well --- except this time. I did everything as normal. Nothing has changed. I have tried 3 different DVD's for the same project (memorex DVD+R, imation DVD+RW, and a no-brand one). In the past I have used the "no-brand" dvd's and also "memorex DVD+R LightScribe" dvd's and they worked fine. So now I'm beginning to think it's either the program or my computer. What happens is at the burn section the blue bar goes all the way and says "done" (before it's even finished multiplexing and burning) with about 8-10 minutes remaining. The laptop then ejects the dvd. The 3 dvd's I tried were blank since their ejection. It's like nothing happened after those hours of burning.
I not only tried 3 different dvd's, but I also tried different projects (to see if the one I was trying to burn was corrupt). One of the projects I already burned a few years ago (but needed a second copy now) didn't work either. The laptop ejected it at the same interval as the other projct did. If it's not the dvd, and it's not the project, then what is it? There has to be something wrong . . . but what?It had been less than an hour. Deep breath.
Make sure your boot drive (Usually the Macintosh HD) has enough free space to make your DVD. I would suggest you have at least 2x the amount of space that your disk takes up. So a 4.7 GB disk = 10 GB free space needed. A 8.5 GB disk = 18 GB free space needed.
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDVD (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
Ensure your iDVD project and iDVD itself are ok.
__File > Save As Disk Image. If the disk image fails to create, there may be an issue with this project or with the application. If the Disk Image is created, then your project and iDVD are probobly just fine.
Make sure your DVD Burner is ok. Just pop in a blank DVD disk and add something to it (picture, document, whatever), double-click on the disk and click "burn".
__If the disk fails to burn then either the media you are using is not compatible / is bad or the drive has issues.
__Try reseting the PRAM and the SMC just in case the drive is having issues.
Other things to try:
1.) Make sure the DVD disks you are using are compatible with your computer's optical drive. If you use a disk that is not supported by your computer's SuperDrive you may get inconsistent burn results or the drive may reject the disk. You can find out what types and speeds of disks your computer supports by going here and looking for the "SuperDrive" section under your model of computer: http://support.apple.com/specs/
2.) Older drives / players may not be able to read newer types of burnable media. Use DVD-R disks that list a lower speed. Burnable media comes with numbering on the original packaging that indicates the speed of the disk (Usually 1x,2x,3x, etc.). The lower the number the more compatible the disk will be with more DVD players.
3.) Try different brands of media. I personally try to stick with media made by companies with a long history of making recordable media.
4.) Lower the burn speed in iDVD:
iDVD > Preferences > Advanced > Preferred DVD Burning Speed
The lower the number you choose the more compatible the resulting disk will be with more DVD players. It will also increase the amount of time it takes to burn the disk.
Hope that helps -
Having trouble installing Mac OSX Snow Leopard in Mac Pro. Disk ejects without completing installation. Any suggestions?
OK, then do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If all is well try installing Snow Leopard again. -
For awhile, since the newest update, I'd noticed when charging the ipod (classic) that it stopped going to the charging screen and would stay on the Connected: Eject before disconnecting' screen. But, y'know, didn't matter to me, it still charged... until today when I tried to add music. Tried it many times, reset it... STILL wouldn't transfer songs... It would 'say' it was syncing, but then suddenly stop and stay on the same Connect: please eject before disconnecting' page. I did a couple of times get a message about scanning it but, after restoring that never popped up again...
So, I do a system restore on it and ofcourse THAT works, but it STILL won't sync! So, now I've got an ipod with no music that won't sync and because it's all gone on there, I'm not sure how to back up my stuff (should I need to re-install iTunes... Though I doubt it'd work...)... So, yeah, I tried a different cable too, still no luck...
There has GOT to be some way to fix this!
Please somebody help me out! I so freaking appreciate it you have NO idea!I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply. -
Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Leopard installation disk ejects before installation begins
When I attempted to install Leopard after the initial screen and the reboot, my iMac chugged a bit then ejected the install disk. After several attempts which resulted in the same thing, I called Apple and, during the hour I was on hold, kept trying. At the end the install started and so I hung up. However, I am not sure the installation was quite Ok since there appear to be some anomalies. For instance, the little close, minimize and expand "LEDs" at the top left are all grey, no color although, on my PowerBook, where the installation went fine, they are the usual red yellow and green. ALso, when I rebooted the iMac after the install, my wall paper was gone although, again, when I did the same on the PowerBook, it was back again. I decided to try to reinstall on the iMac but again encountered the same problem, the disk ejected before the install started. Any ideas?
Premature disk ejection can be caused by bad RAM or a "greasy" disk.
Take a careful look at the disk for a shiny film. If it's there, use a damp soft cloth and wipe from the center to the outside, radially. DO NOT ever wipe a DVD in a circular manner.
If the DVD is OK, then it might be your RAM or some other hardware problem.
Many have had marginal DVD readers and had success using an external DVD drive.
If you have another Mac, see how the disk behaves in it. -
Error when DVD 'burning' is complete
Hello, so I'm burning a DVD and the 'creating your dvd' completes but says in lower case 'done' with one minute estimated time remaining and the DVD ejects with nothing burned onto it.
Any help?I'm with Ed. If it seems to get to the end of your DVD burn and chokes, it's usually an indication of something interfering with Premiere Elements' connection to your DVD burner. Burning to your DVD to your hard drive and then using your burner's software to move the DVD files to a DVD disc will resolve that issue.
This is also a very old system, Anthony. I would also be wary of the hard drive being to full to handle the scratch disk files (You may need as much as 30 gigabytes free and defragmented for a one-hour project) or that your drive is full of old temp files and other "invisible" junk files that are hindering your performance.
Here's some maintenance I recommend you do regularly (like weekly).

Help! 'Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD' Ejecting on Brand new macbook pro
Hey everyone. I just recieved my highly anticipated Macbook Pro that came preinstalled with OSX 10.4.10. I haven't installed anything yet because i am wanting to install Leopard first. The computer came with the 'Mac OS X Leopard - CPU Drop-in DVD'. After I put the dvd in i have tried to install it 4 different ways. One, just by double clicking the 'Install Mac OS X.app' icon (i've actually tried this about 4 times). Second, I tried to install it by using the Leopard DVD as the start-up disc as described in the 'troubleshooting leopard' doc online. Thirdly, I tried (three times) to restart the computer with the DVD in while holding 'C' down. And finally, my last attempt i installed the Tiger discs thinking that might do it...after i installed Tiger which was already preinstalled on the computer, I repeated the above mentioned methods...and everytime the dvd gets ejected on the restart...a couple seconds after the 'apple logo' appears on bootup...then, the 'not working' icon (circle with the diagonal line through it like 'no smoking' logo) appears.
help!!! i'm anxious to get Leopard running!!!! i've been dreaming about this computer for about 3 years now.
any help is appreciated!!!ok...i'm not sure how at all...but, a couple hours have passed since i posted this and while i was hoping someone would reply i was finishing up some old work on my old, extremely slow emac. anyways, i decided to go ahead and try to install leopard again from the normal standard method. (which is just clicking the icon once the leopard install window comes up). Guess what? now it's 50% into the installation!! i don't want to count my chickens before they hatch...especially after some of the discussions i've read about leopard so far...but, i'm hopeful
who knows how...i'm clueless and it doesn't make much sense to me. but, i'll come back and let anyone who cares know how the install went.
note for anyone with similar problems:
another strange fix to the 'leopard dvd ejecting on install' is to let the dvd chill in the drive for a couple hours...then try it again. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! worked for me
