Error Code 0x8002006D

Hi all, sorry if this has been covered in the Mac Pro forum but I couldn’t find anything when I did a search. The problem comes when I tried to burn CD’s through finder. I get the Error Code above and it ejects the disk. I’ve seen that this problem has occured for nearly 2 years with G5’s and I’ve read pages of solutions suggesting:
• using different media
• using a Lens Cleaner
• Force quiting Finder (which worked for one disc but the problem returned on the next disc)
• Re-booting
• Hardware test
but none of these solutions have worked. I can’t seem to find anything on the internet suggesting this occurs on a Mac Pro but from personal experience it certainly does. It’s also been suggested wherever I’ve read that Apple are burying their heads on the problem but as it has been going on for 2 years I can’t believe this to be true. Another suggestion is it’s a Tiger problem but I need to back up the work on my Mac and I can’t risk waiting for Leopard!
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, thanks in advance.

  • 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 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).

  • Unexpected Error - error code 0x8002006D

    I am trying to burn a DVD-R (8x speed) by adding files off my desktop and everytime I add the files and then select burn, i get the error code 0x8002006D preceeded by a message that says "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an un expected error occurred."
    It works fine when burning a CD-R, obviously using smaller files. Anybody else experiencing this? Any help on how to correct or what I am doing wrong?
    Occasionally I can burn a project from iDVD, but this problem still happens intermittently with that software.

    Did this get resolved? I'm having the exact problem but I think it is with the speed rating of the media as I'm using a 8x DVD-R by Memorex which doesn't seem to cut it. The 1x-4x Apple media seems to work just fine but I'm not understanding why the issue.
    I since have bought a stack of FUJIFILM DVD-R that don't have an apparent speed rating on them and are clearly 4.7Gb/120Min "Data/Video" rated. Apparently these work just fine but the others don't.
    My conclusion is that the Memorex are created for higher-speed burners and the SuperDrive in my PowerBook 17" 1GHz doesn't appear to support the speed.

  • Superdrive error and inability to write DVDs (error code 0x8002006D)

    I was attempting to burn media that totaled 4.4 GB on a 4.7 GB single layer quality TDK -DVD-R. It failed on 2 attempts after almost completing the burn, and then on the 3rd attempt i got:
    "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006d)."
    I tried burning a lower capacity CD-R and it worked fine.
    Played a music cd and DVD and it played fine
    Played a CD-r copy of an original music CD and it worked fine.
    I searched the web and it advised that:
    1. your optical lens may be dirty (almost seldom use it, not even to watch DVDs)
    2. a bad batch of media (couldn't be because I have burned from this batch for the past year)
    3. Lens needs calibration (possible via DVD/CD lens cleaners)
    4. try a different brand of media or try a different format DVD+R
    My superdrive gets very minimal use, so I knew this couldn't be a "wear & tear" issue. I opted for option 3 and cleaned my drive using a memorex branded "OptiDisc" CD/DVD cleaner. After attempting to play the cleaner, it never did go to an Audio CD option, it merely spun for about 40 sec and spit out the cleaner.
    I am happy to report that whatever it did, it must have recalibrated the superdrive. now it successfully burns DVD-R again.
    hope this experience helps.

    whatever it did, it must have recalibrated the superdrive
    No - it simply cleaned the lens system. Your #1 "1. your optical lens may be dirty (almost seldom use it, not even to watch DVDs)" Low usage might make the matter more likely; all it takes is a little dust or dirt to get on the lens to cause problems.
    There are TWO optical systems - one for DVDs and one for CDs. The cleaning disc simply 'brushed off' each optical system lens.
    BTW, the burning laser actually calibrates itself to your media before it starts each burn (there is a special area on each writable disc reserved for his purpose).

  • Error Code "0x8002006D"/Laser unable to burn

    I am getting the following set of errors when attempting to do a DATA CD (Desktop) and "Laser unable to write on media" when using iTunes. Any thoughts or suggestions? Drive was working fine when last used a few days ago.

    Hi, Dori.
    There are three primary causes for Error Code 0x8002006D.
    1. Dirty lens in your optical drive. The error code means that the burner was unable to perform the power-calibration test for its laser with the media. The test is described in "About optical disc drive burning and write speeds." A dirty lens is the most common cause of this error. Buy a dry CD/DVD lens cleaner at a good electronics or computer store and use it to attempt to clean the lens.
    2. Incompatible media. Many new optical disc formats employ dyes for high-speed burning that may not work with older optical drives. The power calibration test fails, not because of a problem with the lens, but because of an issue with the dyes in the optical media. Try a different brand of media.
    3. Optical drive failing. Your CD/DVD burner is simply worn out or damaged and needs to be replaced.
    Note that some of the information above is from the "Burning CDs and DVDs" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Tiger Edition.
    Good luck!

  • Burning cds code error code 0x8002006D

    I have been using my burner since i bought my powerbook and have been using the same cds. About a month ago i tried to burn a cd and got the error code 0x8002006D. I have been unable to burn from there on. I have reinstalled my computer and i continue to have this problem. Other forums suggest that it is a recent update? Any help or suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • 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.
    Here's the info under System Profiler>Hardware>Disc Burning:
    SONY DVD RW DW-U10A:
    Firmware Revision: A43h
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 8192 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
    I'm trying to burn data onto a DVD disc as backup. How do I burn using Finder?
    Also, Power Mac G5 Uniprocessor Firmware update 5.1.5f2 does show when I click on Apple>software updates. However, it does not have a check mark. Would this apply to my computer even though it does not have a check mark?

  • I get error code 0x8002006D when trying to burn images to dvd

    I purchased some Verbatim DvD-r's from the Apple store; I made an iPhoto burn that worked fine. However, I need a disk that I can open with anything, for archival purposes. I exported to an external HD, as well as to the disk itself from iPhoto, but I keep getting the error code. ANy ideas? Thanks!

    2 things there is Media available but you must be careful to read the packaging carefully.
    16X Maxell DVD-R reads that it will burn at 1X,2X,4X,8X, and 16X.
    Next there is a huge difference in Quality of the Media you purchase.
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    As you see the Maxell is one of the highest in Quality.
    My advise is to always go for quality over price (cheaper) is one of the largest causes of burning problems.
    Another important thing to remember is DVD-R Media is the most widely used and recognised by the majority of computers (especially the older ones).
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
    Please understand there is not only a big difference in the Optical Drives installed in the different Apple Computers, but the Media, Speed and Format they are capable of using. This is the reason For the Media I suggest.
    It covers the correct format but covers the speed problem as well, for older and newer burners as well.

  • Error Code When Burning (Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)

    I've been searching for answers to my problem and it seems like this problem has randomly popped up for many others like it has for me.
    A month ago I randomly started getting this error code Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.) when I tried to burn dvds in DVD Studio Pro. When I try to burn a DVD just from the finder options I get this error Code (Error code 0x8002006D)
    But CD's burn fine for me.
    I have been using the exact same discs that were able to burn before. They are 16x speed Memorex.
    I tried relaunching the finder. I bought a Disc Cleaner today and i bought some 8x speed DVD's. I cleaned the Burner and I was able to successfully burn a 8x cd but still not the 16x.
    Does anyone know the cause of this error code? Why would it just randomly happen?

  • Cannot delete file from external hard drive (error code 36) in Finder, but Terminal is ok

    I have a relatively new Macbook Pro Retina 15" and have a Western Digital 1 TB Passport.  I've been using the passport for about a year now without any problems on older Macbooks in my house.  I used to be able to read and write to this drive no problem.  I am using the Paragon NTFS for Mac software in order to read and write to the NTFS drive.  When I navigate through the drive in Finder, if I try to create a new folder, I do not have a problem.  If I try to delete that folder I just created, I get this error:
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “untitled folder” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)
    The folder has nothing in it whatsoever.  I just created it.  But if I go to Terminal and I run
    rm -rf "untitled folder"
    This works fine.  Why is Terminal acting different than Finder?  This does not happen on my other Macbooks.  Thanks in advance.

    Thanx for such qucik reply!!! The pages were great, it had an answer for my problem, but unfortunately it also involved me dealing with it only on the MacIntosh HD itself, not on mounted external drive I suppose... So it didn't work they say that there is an icon in the left corner indicating locked folder - I don't see any icon on it. It says you can untick the box to unlock the folder - there is no tick to be unticked. Finally, they say that if I don't have permition or rights I cannot delete it. But how do i change permittion which already says that i can read and write in it? So everything appears to be normal only I cannot delete it. there is not even any warnig telling me I don't have enough rights, it just requires the password and after me typing it in it makes the sound of scraping paper but does nothing more. I aslo had some problems with emptying Trash after being seemingly succesful with one file and had got so far to have them appear in the Trash (no clue how this one actully got there though..) I followd the advice and emptied the Trash with Terminal. The Folder is still there but it shows 0 Kb... So far so good BUT: It is still on the external drive, so I obviously only managed to copy it into the Trash!!! Phew, innit a bit too tight to poor owners, this macbook?? I want my rights back!
