Error Code 0X8002006D while burning DVD's

I've had a problem with my SuperDrive burning DVD's. I succeeded in burning CD's a while ago, but DVD's now. The error message 0X8002006D is popping up. What's does the error code mean? Could the laserlens be dirty or...?

Read this thread. You might try a lens cleaner.

  • Error code 0X8002006D when burning DVD

    I have been successfully burning 8X DVD-R until I bought a 16X DVD-R.
    I keep getting an error message: error code 0X8002006D when I tried to burn on a 16X DVD-R.
    I had no problems with the 8X DVD-R. Unfortunately, they don't sell 8X DVD-R anymore.
    Help. What do I need to do?

    Please tell us what burner you have. Look in System
    Profiler > Hardware > Disc Burning.
    You're using the Finder to burn?
    A Google search on this error code turns up a lot of
    topics. Some point to the media as the culprit,
    others point to Tiger, some to the drive itself.
    Fuji isn't a bad brand of media, but it's not
    amongst the best, either.
    Generally, an older burner can use 16X media, but
    would obviously only be able to burn at the maximum
    speed of the drive. It's possible that your drive
    doesn't recognize the media code on the disc and
    refuses to burn. Sometimes a firmware update to the
    drive can solve this problem.

  • Error Code: 0x8002006D Problems burning CDs

    I have encountered problems in recent days reading my archive CDs and now I'm having problems burning them. I use good quality IMATION 700Mb CD-Rs and have never had any problem with these before. The CD to be burned loads OK and I can copy the files across OK but when it comes to burning (using the preinstalled burn software) it seems to rush through the files too quickly, then it starts the burn process bar at the top but after a few seconds reports the Error Code 0x8002006D and states that CD can't be written.
    I have used a lens cleaner in the last couple of days in the hope that would work but with no luck. Any ideas would be most welcome.

    A shelf above a radiator is a definite no-no for data discs, where losing a handful of bits can ruin the data beyond the built-in error correction encoding's ability to recover. Music CDs are more forgiving since you can actually lose quite a few bits and the human brain will compensate by filling in for the missing sounds.
    The amount of data being burned shouldn't matter, provided you have enough free space on the hard drive for creation of the temporary invisible scratch file used during burning. A good rule-of-thumb is to maintain at least as much free space as the media to which you're copying data, plus 300 to 500 MB for the Unix swap files in /private/var/vm. For a DVD-burner equipped Mac, you'd want to keep 5 GB or more free space on the hard drive; for a CD-R burner only Mac, you can get as low as around 1.5 GB (in theory --- I'd go with the 5 GB rule of thumb anyway).

  • Why is the Error Code 0x8002006E While Burning the Disc?

    Hey there! I don't seem to get through this Issue. I was trying to burn content to a Disc and it failed with the error code 0x8002006E, while the process was almost complete. I came across a few forums and nothing helped much to resolve this problem. Is there someone who knows the exact cause? Is this is a known-issue or anything already being addressed by Apple? Or a work-around to get this resolved? because i also read (did not try) that no third-party applications, as an alternative, solved this Issue. Disappointed! Help!
    Model: iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)
    OS: Lion OS X 10.7.4
    I have the latest software updates and Firmware updates installed.
    Thank you,

    I found this article excerpt:
    The few solution that where found where by calling at Apple and get technical support. There are a few solutions that might work.
    The first one would be Go to users > your computer name / user name > library > Preferences > com.apple.finder.plist and delete this file. Also it’s advised to keep the burn speed at 8x.
    The second solution found that Apple technical support gave is to unplug everything, including the AC power cord and then remove the battery. Press the power button for 10 seconds without replacing the battery or attaching the AC power cord and after the 10 seconds are up replace the battery. After the battery is in slot hold down the following keys with the left hand: Option + Apple (command) + R and with the right hand hold down the following keys: P + Power Button. You will need to hold all 5 of these buttons at the same time until you hear both sets of startup chimes Release all of the 5 buttons after you hear the two startup chime sounds.
    Hope this helps

  • Cd/DVD not burning.  Error Code 0x8002006E when burning DVD's

    I have a MacBook Black and am trying to burn cd's and dvd's. I have tried multiple brands of DVD and CD and can get the cd's to burn once in a while with a microboards printable cd. When they don't burn I get either an error saying something about not being able to calibrate laser power, or it goes through like it's burning and shows up on the desktop, but when I go to open the disk, there is nothing on it. DVD's never finish, giving me the error code 0x8002006E. It will also not read any DVDr's on the machine. Stamped DVD's (store bought)are fine, but multiple brands of DVDr will not read. All of the burned DVD's I have are personal movies and music videos that I made on the machine. Anyone have any suggestions? Is my superdrive toast?

    You can check in system profile and select disc burning to verify what cd/dvds are readable by your superdrive....Also with that error message you can try removing any extra ram chip installed, with that model powerbook it also has onboard ram built into logic...being a disc reading problem id say its the superdrive itself, you can try cleaning the lens with those cleaning discs you buy from electronic stores..Burn disc whilst running on power adaptor and not battery...
    just a few things to try might help you

  • Error code 0x80020042 when burning DVD

    I recently updated my 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857 Superdrive to Mac OS X (10.5.6) and installed the latest updates.
    Since updating I have not been able to use Burn to burn DVDs. I get the following error - Burning "xxx" failed because the disc cannot be written to. (Error code 0x80020042). I have successfully used these DVDs before the upgrade. The DVDs that I am using are TDK double layer DVD +R (Item code: DVD+R85AA).
    Can anyone suggest a fix.

    I have used cleaning kit from an audio/video store. It's basically a CD with a pair of brushes underneath. It has restored a failing optical drive in my tray-loading eMac several times.
    But I have heard that these kind of kits aren't so good in slot loading laptops, because there is a chance of them getting stuck inside. I suggest contacting a local Apple certified service shop and seeing what they recommend.

  • Error Code- 6 When Burning DVDs/ CDs- Any Ideas

    I recently had a problem burning DVDs from iMovie due to an error code- 6 (whatever that is!) I had put this problem to one side for a number of months, on account of the fact I don't burn that many DVDs. I have now found the problem has spread to CDs as well.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this, or is it new drive time?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   1Ghz Power PC

    Hi Skinner,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Firstly you can't burn DVDs from iMovie!
    Under OS 9 Error 6 was an overflow error, although I can't confirm its the same under OS X it sounds like it could be a buffer overflow issue in iDVD. This would mean that the computer cannot supply the data to the drive quickly enough. Try the following things (which admittedly are undesirable but may be neccesary):
    Close down all Applications not directly involved in what you're doing to free up processor time and memory.
    Burn at a lower speed (choose 1x or 2x rather than 4 x).
    Try different media those PC World branded disc may not be as good as a Verbatim.
    Hope this helps

  • Error code 2131042562 while burning a disk

    After having burned a dozen disks (Verbatim) in different projects, I got error code 2131042562 at my last project. There are a number of discussions on this forum referring to this error code and it seems there is no proper answer to why this error code arises. So I would like to give some information about  what caused this error code in my case. As all of my previous projects could be burned without problems, the only thing different in my last project was adding pictures (stills) in the disk menus. After removing these pictures (exported frameshots from within the project) the burning did not cause any problems any more.
    So is was not due to the brand of the disks and I did not have to use other burning-software. I do not know why these pictures caused the problem and I find it very akward and annoying that there is no possibility in Premiere to scan the project for errors previous to burning, it would save me a lot of time and useless disks.

    Tienuur
    I tried to create a DVD-VIDEO similar to yours. Unfortunately all burned to disc without problems.
    If you have overlapping objects on the menu, you should have noticed the objects as red lined when you were working in the menu. But even if you ignored the red lined objects at that phase of the project.....
    If you preview your menu before moving on to burn to disc DVD and have overlapping objects in the menu, you will get a pop up telling you such. Since you have not mentioned that, I am assuming you do not have overlapping objects in the menu, and we can rule that out for now.
    The bmp image format insertion did not seem to create a problem for me.
    As part of the troubleshooting system, have you:
    a. tried a different menu?
    b. have you gone over computer/Premiere Elements maintenance and have you have already gone through the typical drill of replace brand/type DVD disc, update burner firmware, and the like....in terms of computer maintenance, I am thinking of defragmentation, clearing out Premiere Elements preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files.
    c. That 2131042562 error seems to be a generalized one.
    We will keep thinking about this as we await further developments from you regarding your project troubleshooting.
    Thanks.

  • Error Code 2130932483 When Burning DVD

    does anybody know what code 2130932483 means? i get this error when trying to creat and burn a dvd with menu on photo elements

    dicktatorsmith
    We first need to determine what program is involved and the details of what you are doing?
    You cannot burn your content to DVD disc (assumed DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc) with just Photoshop Elements and its associated Elements Organizer? So, if you are getting this error in your burn to disc, I am suspecting that you are not working with Photoshop Elements.
    So, what program and version of it are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
    The error that you present at burn has been seen before with no one description of what it means (that I have ever seen). Sometimes defragmentation of the computer hard drive and/or using another brand/type DVD disc resolves the issue. If you are in Premiere Elements burn dialog, does hitting the Rescan button a few times have any impact on the situation?

  • Help with error code 4310 while burning CD on windows 8

    Cancels when burning and pops up with text box saying. "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error (4310)".

    Hi funjjhoweANDcool,
    I understand the frustration when you are unable downloading content from the iTunes Store. I would start with this section of the following article.
    iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1583
    This can happen when a connection timeout occurs while you're downloading purchased content from the iTunes Store. For example, certain types of software may affect how a computer sends and receives information from the Internet:
    Firewalls
    Web Accelerators
    Ad Filters
    Virus Protection Software
    Resolution
    If you have any of the software listed above and you can't access the iTunes Store or complete your download, you'll need to configure the software to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet and to allow the following domains to send and receive data from the Internet:
    itunes.apple.com
    ax.itunes.apple.com
    albert.apple.com
    gs.apple.com
    deimos3.apple.com
    phobos.apple.com
    Refer to the documentation that came with that software and, if necessary, contact the software's manufacturer.
    You can also try these steps:
    If a web accelerator could be causing the issue, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the software manufacturer.
    If your computer is on a network, try using a different computer on the network or discussing the issue with the network administrator.
    If needed, there are further steps including those for Windows 8 in this section.
    "Error (-50)" appears when you download purchased videos
    Thanks for reaching out,
    -Joe

  • Will Not Burn DVD: Error code 0x8002006D

    Hello
    I have a 12" PowerBook G4 fitted with a SuperDrive running Tiger 10.4.11. My machine will still play & burn CD's it will still play DVD's but it will not burn DVD's.
    When trying to burn a DVD it comes up with following message:
    Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
    (Error code 0x8002006D).
    I am trying to burn using Verbatim DVD-R, which I have successfully used in the past.
    Any ideas what the problem is, and are there any possible solutions?
    Thanks for any help.

    I've never had any issues with it either, I still think it's a good utility.
    For burners, an external would be easiest to use as it plugs into a port on the machine. The lacie burners are ok, overall decent software & firmware support. I tore my apart to use the drive in a G4 tower, software all still works!
    Get one that can use firewire & usb. the PPC will boot from a firewire external DVD & it could also be used later, if needed, on a machine that doesn't have FW.
    Another option is macsales.com here in the States sells the exact same slot drive apple does for about $90. They do ship internationally, about $25 USD to London. If you want an internal solution this would be the way to go.

  • Error 0x8002006D when burning dvd's

    I have had my MBP for almost a year, and could burn DVD's without a hitch, now however I'm really struggling to get them to burn, it seems to start of ok and then i get the error code 0x8002006D and the disc gets ejected. I have tried all brands and all types, but i must have 6 different half used spindles of discs here, so all these have worked in the past.
    Its now doing my nut, and I really need to back this stuff up and clean my HD.

    Yes I had this exact same error and I ran a laser head cleaner through it. The issues has gone away completely.
    So you've got some dust in your drive. Get some compressed air or run a laser head cleaner through it.
    This is the one I used:http://www.amazon.com/Allsop-56500-CD-Laser-Lens-Cleaner/dp/B00000J1QK/ref=pdbbs6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1222218448&sr=8-6
