DVDs won't burn in iPhoto but they will burn in Finder.

When I try to burn a DVD in iPhoto it fails quickly and says it can't connect to the drive. But I was able to burn a DVD in the finder, so the DVD burner isn't broken. Any advice?

I reinstalled iPhoto and it seemed to fix it at first but when I tried to burn certain files it still wouldn't work. I found a video file that claimed to be, like, 1830353984392 GB, which was obviously wrong, and it wasn't one I needed so I deleted it and everything has been fine since then. Don't know what happened with that file in the first place though.

    I have an iPhone 5 and my apps won't work on LTE but they will when I'm connected to wifi. Am I the only 1?

    I am having the same problem. I am not able to load ESPN or any of its affiliated apps. I also tried craigslist and ebay using safari and no luck. I tried contacting ESPN and they told me to contact AT&T. So I have been chatting with an AT&T rep for about an  hour and haven't had any luck. Some friends who also have AT&T are having the same problems, while those with Verizon are working fine. I'm from the St. Louis are if that's any help.

  • PDF files won't open in Firefox (but they will in IE).

    I have Firefox set as my default browser, and I have Display PDF in Browser checked in Preferences in Acrobat. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.

    MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
    Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.

  • I need to burn a Final Cut pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn one just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD?

    I need to burn a Final Cut Pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn a project just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD? ( oh and how can I finalize the project?) Thanks!

    I did that already it it only burned one section of the project. How do I export a master file? Can i just save it on the computer then take it to IDVD? Thank you so much for helping me!

  • DVD / CD's won't burn in finder

    SONY DVD RW DW-U10A
    First: It doesn't acknowledge I've put a DVD in. Nothing. It keeps asking me to insert a disk.
    Second: CD's won't burn in finder. They start for a couple of seconds and then they are rejected saying it's a "Power calibration area error 0x8002006D The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    - I can't find anything on that error code from Apple or Sony. I assume it can't read the disc for some reason and try a (2) cleaning discs. That didn't work.
    - Disc utitilty says all my permissions are fine and I've got the disc space.
    - I try different brands of discs - nope again (Sony, Maxell, Verbitim).
    - Then I deleted the plist, rebooted. Not it either.
    - Followed that with Onyx, deleted plist & rebooted again. Now I have to turn the power off to get it to reject. I can't delete 'untitled CD.fpbf' folder either.
    - So then I try to burn a disc in ITunes and it works, but very slowly (4X).
    - I figure the drive is starting to give out and just before I buy a new one, I sign into a guest account and guess what? It burns perfectly from finder and fast.
    Now, why would a guest account make a difference?
    I have no idea what to try next.
    Thx for any suggestions.

    no problem. happens to a number of folks (especially people used to the earlier versions of iTunes that didn't have so many diagnostics options.)
    okay ... i'd like you to check in with Dell to confirm precisely which kind of Dell you have. there's updates available for the 2400 and the 2400C, and the updates for one may not be compatible with the updates for another. i don't want you to be installing incompatible updates.
    these are the two different download areas:
    Dimension 2400
    Dimension 2400C
    you also appear to have three different drives showing up on the same bus address:
    IDE\DiskWDCWD800BB-75CAA0_____________________16.06V16, Bus Type ATA, Bus Address [0,0]
    IDE\CdRomHL-DT-STCD-ROM_GCR-8481B_______________1.06___, Bus Type ATA, Bus Address [0,0]
    IDE\CdRomHL-DT-STCD-RW_GCE-8483B________________B105___, Bus Type ATA, Bus Address [1,0]
    SCSI\CdRomVO0524SEYM602D________2.0B, Bus Type SCSI, Bus Address [0,0]
    ... so it might be worth investigating with Dell whether or not that could be an issue on the PC. (they would be the authority on shifting bus addresses on your model of PC, if that is what is called for.)

  • IDVD burns disc but they will not play back on same computer

    Prior to this latest update of iDVD, I had ZERO problems with burned iDVDs. Now I can create and burn a disc in iDVD 6.0.3 but my computer refuses to recognize it as a playable disc. I put it in the drive and it spins and spins and after around 10 mins a screen pops up and says that it is a blank. But when I play it on a standard DVD player, it works fine. I recently updated Quicktime to the latest version. Something is wrong. Ah, for the days when you could call Apple about anything and they had the highest rated tech support in the world, now it can be really tough to get an answer. Can anyone give me some thoughts? Thanks, Reed

    I have the same problem. iDVD disks that I burn on my G5 will play on G4's, my PC, and all consumer DVD players that I have tried them in. But they will not play on my G5 that created them, and they never have. The disk just spins for a few seconds and then ejects. It never gets recognized and never mounts. There is no error message. I regularly distribute my DVD's to 20+ people, and the disks play on all of their players, though I don't know if anyone tried to play one of my DVD's in a G5.
    I use DVD-R disks, and have tried burning at slower speeds (4x)from a disk image using Disk Utility, but the disk still won't play on my G5. On the other hand, my G5 will play iDVD disks that I have burned on a G4, and it will play commercial DVD disks.
    I have seen posts from other users who have complained about this problem. I have never seen a fix or a suggested solution that worked. It would be great if you have seen something on this, or have some suggestions, that might lead to a resolution. Otherwise, I can live with it.

    Are you shooting RAW? Are you exporting masters or versions? Is there a size limitation on the Walgreens site?

  • Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

  • Ihave computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync?

    I have my computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync.?  I have done the previous action before but now I have a new ipod because my other ipod was stolen.

    Actually this happened to me today and although it would not let me play the file it allowed me to use that same file i had exported from iphotos but could not play and then it allowed me to open it in imovie (you can go to import and then get it from the desktop or wherever) although I made a couple of changes to it the main thing is once you drag it into the space to begin a new project you can then right click and select open in finder and that file actually plays......if its cause i made some changes to it i.e trimmed it slightly then its worth doing so.

  • I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentione

    I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?

    And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
    You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
    But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
    Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ?

  • I have zinced songs from my PC to my iPad  and it has copied all the songs on my pc but some are showing very faintly on my iPad and these songs will not play. I have tried to delete them but they will not stay hilighted and show delete to enable me to do

    Can anyone help me to delete the faintly listed songs on my iPad which I have transferred from my Pc but they will not play on my iPad.

    Thanks for trying to help me. 
    First, in you reply (and i've read this elsewhere), you imply that i need to check a box that says "manually manage music."  OK, great, but where do i find such box?  Is that on the iphone or in itunes?  Also, i am afraid of losing what i already do have on my phone.  I have about 150 songs, some of which were purchesed thru itunes, but most of which i "dropped and dragged" from my older computer with the older version of itunes.  When i go to itunes with my iphone plugged in, all of the boxes are grayed out, except one at the top that says "Sync Music".  When i check this box, i get an error warning that says "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to [name of my iPhone] from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library." 
    So, i have over 3000+ songs in my itunes library on my computer... obviously that isn't going to fit on my phone. So then, what is going to happen?  I'll lose everything that is already on my phone PLUS it will NOT be able to sync? 
    Is now the time to buy a Zune?!?  For the company that is supposedly "user friendly", Apple has really managed to screw this one up. 
    Thanks, John

  • I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it.  I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open.  Can anyone help?

    The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

  • I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will

    I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(
