DVDSP4 crashes when trying to burn. How do I reload old OS??

I tried posting in this thread but recieved no reply...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8737192#8737192
ANyways I'm having the same problem that they discuss in this thread and someone said the problem is related to 10.5.6
I would like to "reload" 10.5.5 but I have no idea how to go about it...
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I need these DVD's burned quickly...

Insert your original Leopard disc 10.5.1 (or whichever one you have). Do the installation as an 'archive and install',otherwise you'll wipe your hard drive.
This will create a folder called previous system which you can throw out later.
Do NOT install the upgrade to 10.5.6 when prompted. You'll be good to go.

  • ITunes Crashes when trying to burn a disc

    iTunes Crashes when trying to burn a disc I've had this problem now for a few weeks. Whenever I try to burn a CD or DVD iTunes crashes and I have to try up to 3 times until it crashes and then resets itself like if I had just installed it. At first I thought that it was because I needed to upgrade to the new iTunes version 10 but the upgrades are for Mac OS 10.5 and up. My internal disc drive no longer works so I've been using a borrowed Sony DVD RW DRU-840A USB burner with firmware SS01. I have iLike installed as well and that also has problems it has stopped loading.

    I'm having the same problem.

  • Why does my itunes crash when trying to burn a CD

    Okay, some background info. For almost two years, anytime I'd put a CD into the computer, it would be these loud noises that sounded as if they were damaging the disc and/or it wouldn't eject the disc. After spending literally a day trying to eject this one CD, which I finally did after a day of continuously pressing "eject," the CD ejected and I decided to take my computer to the Apple store to get it fixed.
    To make a long story short(er), I paid to have the optical drive replaced, and when I took my computer home, the new problem became that instead of reading the CDs (or DVDs), it would just automatically eject the discs. I took my computer back and they replaced the optical drive again with a new one. After I took the computer home, it quietly read two CDs and then starting with the third one, it started automatically ejecting the CDs again as before. I got so frustrated that I put my finger over the slot to prevent the disc from coming out. After attempting to eject the disc for a couple of minutes, the computer stopped trying to eject the CD and read it. And it ejected the disc with no problem. Since then, the computer has had no trouble reading and ejecting the numerous (15+) CDs. It does, however, now make a lot of noise when reading the CD.
    Today I tried burning a playlist for the first time. When the blank disc was put in, it was loud but accepted it with no problem. But when I tried to burn the playlist from itunes, itunes would automatically crash. I've tried other blank discs and it does the same thing. It even crashes when I press burn disc even without a disc. Just to make sure the blank CD could burn something, I double-clicked the CD icon and burned some mp3s manually and that worked. So the optical drive is able to burn information on blank CDs. However, when I try through itunes, itunes crashes.
    So do you guys think this is an itunes issue, or is it related to the replaced optical drive? I'm leaning towards the latter.

    Somebody PLEASE help me.... I keep getting the "itunes has stopped working" error when I import cd's and that it's checking windows for help. That's it! It doesn't tell me how to fix it. Apple stores or the phone support has been ZERO help. I just need to reinstall all these cds that were lost when I plugged in my new ipod to my new computer!!!

  • Crashes when trying to burn a DVD

    I have been trying to burn a DVD using both Toast and Wonderhare and it seems no matter what program I use it will crash the program when I try to burn it. I have tried applejack to see if there are any problems that need to be fixed but none were found. What should I do?
    Thanks!

    Could you specify the specifications of the computer's internal hard disk
    drive, in both full capacity and the amount remaining as unused? These
    numbers, actually three (capacity, amount used, remaining free) may be
    the cause of the problem; if the drive is getting too full and should these
    burn folder files be a tripping point, the system could be compromised.
    {That is just one possibility; since systematic routine maintenance is a
    process I've done, and pre-suppose others do it, too. The basis of a
    healthy computer is the awareness of certain factors and preventative
    maintenance to keep the system as healthy as it can be. Then if some
    thing acts up, there is less to wonder about at that point in time.}
    The simple stuff, such as 'repair disk permissions' in Disk Utility, after
    booting up in SafeBoot mode (hold Shift key until login window appears)
    can help; then after Disk Utility is done, quit it & restart the computer.
    Logs and reports are often stored and readable in Console utility, also
    in System Profiler> Software> Logs (see Blue apple, about this Mac,
    button More Info> System Profiler.) Console has many different ones.
    You could see what those HDD numbers are, and also look into Activity
    Monitor, when the computer is running and before a crash, to see
    where the computer's resources are being used and how.
    If the computer does not have sufficient chip RAM installed, and is also
    running with a nearly too-full hard disk drive, the computer could crash
    when several apps and large-size files are being manipulated.
    The computer could be started from the Tiger install disc and disk utility
    run from the drop-down menu bar in the Installer window; start from the
    Tiger DVD by holding C key down, the second screen (past languages)
    is the Installer and submenu choices. Disk Utility can try to repair disk
    and also repair disk permissions; and verify disk SMART status. When
    done, choose Macintosh HD from the Startup chooser menu in Installer
    menu, and restart. This may help; but there obviously is something amiss.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Computer crashes when trying to burn a cd in itunes

    I have read many threads on this error 4280 but mine seems a little different. Every time I try and burn a cd from songs in my library something bad happens. I have had my computer crash several times. One time it crashed and then went into a scandisc mode. Once it crashed and then when my computer restarted everything that was supposed to load at startup had errors and wouldn't load. Yesterday, I tried to burn a cd again. This time I used only music that I had ripped from my own cd's through itunes. I have authorized my computer yet it said it wouldn't burn any of them because none of the songs were authorized? They are my songs, from my cd's! A few weeks ago I tried the same thing and it wouldn't burn the tracks because it said 2 of the tracks weren't authorized. Again, they were all ripped from my cd collection, not downloaded. I decided to restart my computer and try again. Same problem but this time it selected 2 different songs as the ones that weren't authorized. I am having serious issues with itunes crashing my computer. Anyone else have problems like this? I am using itunes 7.6?
    Thanks,

  • IPhoto keeps crashing when trying to burn disc

    I am trying to burn a cd of pictures (500 mb) and everytime I try to burn iPhoto crashes. It select the pictures, it recognizes the disc, the size is fine and then it crashes. I have a powerbook G4 with 1 gig RAM. I am using iPhoto 5

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Application Support/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

  • IPhoto crashes when trying to burn CD

    For reasons that I cannot explain, everytime I am trying to burn a CD with approximately 200 pictures (1/2 a CD of 700MB), iPhoto crashes immediately after the "preparing to burn" phase. It is incredibly frustrating. I have plenty of RAM available. Anyone else having this difficulty? I have the latest version of 5.*. I haven't got iphoto 6.
    G5 Dual 2.0 gB   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    no solution for you, but i am getting the same issue.
    i was trying to backup my photos to install iphoto 6. after six successful burns (approx 4.2GBs) it started giving me the same problem. trying to burn a cd with approx 670MBs and it crashes right after the preparing disk dialog... any ideas?

  • How do I fix the 4900 error I get when trying to burn a cd in itunes?

    how do I fix the 4900 error I get when trying to burn a cd in itunes?

    We are having the same issue.
    Windows 7 x64
    Microsoft Office 2013 (Word)
    Adobe Reader XI (11.0.0)
    Whenever someone tries to embed a PDF file into a Word document, the following error occurs:
    The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed.
    I have looked at alot of articles online that say to 'Disable' Protected Mode.  This does not resolve the issue.  This option is not set by default in our environment.
    Do we have any confirmation or information from Adobe on this issue?

    I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Keep getting error code -50 when trying to burn a disc. how do I solve this?

    Does anyone know how to solve the problem of getting "unknown error" code (-50) when trying to burn a disc? I don't know how this happened

    It's an error thrown by Mac OS X's DiscRecording framework (as opposed to an error communicated by the drive's firmware). The message is (as you probably saw)
    "The burn failed because of a medium write error."
    Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive.
    I don't think there's one single cause for this error. It might be a dirty lens. It might be something else. Not all recordable optical discs work well with all burners. Try a different brand.

  • IDVD crashes unexpectedly when trying to burn a DVD.

    Hi. Although this question is previously asked by 'Marie' and successfully answered by 'Silly Rabbit', I and many other users experience the same problem of iDVD crashing when pressing the 'Burn' button, even after following the steps:
    1. Remove iDVD and all relative files (playlists, projects)
    2. Repair permission from disk utility
    3. Run Onyx cache cleaner (system+kernell)
    4. Re-install iDVD
    5. Re-run permissions repair.
    and still nothing. Crashes the minute I press 'Burn' regardless the type of menus, content (video, images), file size, etc. Additional dvd-r software in computer are mac the ripper and popcorn and vlc player. All MAC OS X updates are done since it is a brand new iMac G5. Can't get any help from apple. Thought crashing, bugs and re-installations would be history when changed from PC a month ago...
    Any help?!
    Thank you
    Panos
    Happy new year

    Hi Panos,
    Sorry you had to bump your head in iDVD so soon after geting the iMac. In my oppinion is the most buggy piece of software Apple ever made. The idea is very nice, and I tried all sort of things to make this program work, because i like it a lot. But it's just not working. I switched to DVD Studio Pro, which works like a charm, and you have much more options and controll.
    The plist is the preference file, each program has one. It's normal that another file is created when you start the program. The reason to delete it is exactly this one: to create a new plist. Be aware that the settings are restored to their default values, for instance to NTSC (and you also want PAL, like me), when a new plist is created.
    You can try also to delete previously encoded assets (Advanced>Delete Encoded Assets), maybe it will make a difference for you.
    And please, don't be dissapointed because of iDVD. The rest of Mac OS X, and other programs, and Apple hardware are just nice.
    Good luck

  • Error message 4000 when trying to burn a cd in itunes

    I am having problems burning a cd in itunes. I am getting the error message the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred  (4000). Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem.  Please note that I have looked up other ways to solve problem and have tried them and none of them seem to work.  Such as in program files I clicked on repair and not uninstall to see if there was any possible corrupt itunes files to be fixed.  I changed the burn speed and that did not work. The only thing I did not do was a total uninstall of itunes. I need to know should I do that and if so what site will I need to go on to re-install itunes  and will I have to pay for it? My computer which is Windows XP already had itunes on it when I bought it so I do not want to pay for itunes. So can someone please give me some guidance regarding this matter. And please note that I was able to burn cd's in itunes before and then it just stopped working. And I have tested my computer with the windows media player and I was able to burn music from my music library so I know my problem is with itunes.
    Thanks!

    I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.
