Error messages when copyind cds

Anyone know how 2fix this??

Hi kesdra,
welcome to macbook forum.
I believe that is more into hardware problem with your laser pointer in the optical drive.
Just bring that to apple store, they might recalibrate / adjust the laser or replace the optical drive with new unit.
Good Luck.

  • Error message when Burning CDs in Media Player

    When I burn cds in media player, i get error on about half of the songs in the playlist. I delete the errored songs, re-import them and then try to burn. same problem. then the cd tray locks up and i ether use the paper clip trick to open the tray or restart the computer. Using i tunes is not a problem for any songs or the burning of cds. satellite/vista

    Hi, Anthony.
    If, as it sounds, your problem is with Windows Media Player, then your best bet is to post over at Microsoft's Windows Media NewsGroup .
    Good Luck.

    Can I uninstall existing iTunes without losing my media library?  and then install fresh to fix this problem?

  • I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

    I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks, Jack

  • Since I installed Nero 2104 I get an error message when I try to start iTunes: registry settings changed probably due to other cd/dvd burning program please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using repair option but the problem persists...?

    Since I installed Nero 2014 I get an error message when I start iTunes that registry settings for importing and burning cds/dvds have changed probably due to other burning software installed please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using 'repair' option, but the problem persists. I have been able to import cds to iTunes since I installed Nero, but it won't anymore. Does anyone recognize this problem and have a solution? Thanks for any help. Using Windows 7.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

  • Error message when importing CD's into iTunes.

    I've just started getting an error message when importing audio CD's into itunes. +"Error occured while converting the file "........". The disk could not be read from or written to."+ I've been importing CDs for years now and this just started happening last night. The disk image shows up on the desktop, itunes opens and recognizes the disk and searches the database and finds the artist/track names/album etc. Then when I click the import button, I get this message. If I click on the disk image in the desktop and click on a specific file it will play through iTunes. No new changes except for maybe downloading the latest iTunes update. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.

    Every time I import a CD, mp3 is louder then AAC. It's just every so often if I try AAC the volume will be really low. Like barely hearable. Maybe it has to with the fact the CD was released long before AAC format was around? Something to do with compatibility maybe?
    Iron-Mike, MP3 and AAC were both invented well after CD audio and both algorithms are well aware of CD format. Make sure you have "Soundcheck" settings turned on both for iTunes playback and for CD burning. iTunes Soundcheck is supposed to normalize the volumes in spite of variations in the files. Many people have noticed that they don't really work very well, but having them on is better than nothing.

  • Error messages when I attach iPad;

    I keep getting an error message when I attach my iPad/iPhone and try to go to iTunes:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers fro inmportng and burning CDS and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please install iTunes"  I   HAVE UNINSTALLED, INSTALLED SEVERAL TIMES; TRIED "REPAIRING", TOO. 
         It took an hour to load 10 songs last night to iTunes from a CD to load on iPad/Phone. 

    NO, you have to edit the registry like below (do it with extreme care):
    Open Registry Editor:
    XP: From the Start menu click Run. In the resulting dialog, type "regedit" (without quotes) and click OK.
    Vista: From the Start menu, in the Start Search dialog, type "regedit" (without quotes) and press Enter.
    Windows 7: From the Start menu, in the "Search programs and files" dialog, type "regedit"(without quotes) and press Enter.
    If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    Click the plus sign (XP) or arrow (Vista and Windows 7) next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to expand its contents.
    Expand the contents of SYSTEM.
    Expand the contents of CurrentControlSet.
    Expand the contents of Control.
    Expand the contents of Class.
    Click to select the heading that begins with "{4D36E965-" (you just need to highlight this folder). It should look like this: 
    From the File menu, click Export.
    In the dialog box that appears, make sure the "Selected branch" radio button is enabled, then save the file somewhere that you can find it later. This is a backup of this registry key. You should hang on to this in case you need to reimport your original settings later.
    On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
      If the UpperFilters entry is missing, follow these instructions:  Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
    Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
    In the window that appears, use the appropriate steps below to add iTunes device filter to the "Value data" box.  If the "Value data" box already contains text, follow these instructions:  The text contained in the "Value data" box represents third-party device filters. If you remove these device filters, the third-party software that installs them may stop functioning properly. In the example below "NTIDrvr" and "SiRemFil" represent these third-party device filters.
    Click in the box below this text. This accomplishes two things. First, it removes the highlighting from the text. This way when you start typing it won't overwrite these device filters. Second, it places the cursor below this text.
    Now, type "GEARAspiWDM" (without quotes) to add the iTunes device filter.
    If the "Value data" box is blank, follow these instructions:
    Type GEARAspiWDM to add in the iTunes device filter. See the example below.
    Continue on with the next step.
    Click OK.
    Restart the computer.

  • Error Message When Importing Bookmarks From A Network Share

    An error message is generated whenever I try to import bookmarks.html from a network share on kubuntu. This same operation is sucessful on the windows version of firefox.
    To replicate:
    The bookmarks.html is created by Firefox 3.68 on windows 7. And is saved to a network share location. When trying to import this file into firefox 3.6.8 on my kubuntu 10.04 machine, I get the error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
    If I copy bookmarks.html local to the kubuntu machine, it imports without error.
    On windows, I can import bookmarks.html from the network share without error.
    Does anyone know why I can't import across the network on the kubuntu version?
    browser being run on windows 7:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
    browser being run on kubuntu 10.04:
    Firefox 3.6.8 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0.

    It appears to be any remote file, not just the bookmarks file. When trying to upload a file to a website, firefox threw up the same error:
    error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
    So what is it about files that are sitting on a server, firefox and kubuntu that causes this? I don't get the error message when using win7 on the same files.

  • Error message when launching PowerPivot Window using Excel 2010

    I have installed the latest version of Powerpivot on several of our workstations.  Some of them are running the application just fine and some of them are getting an intermittent error message when trying to launch the PowerPivot Window.
    We are running Windows 7 ENT 32bit with Office 2010 32bit
    The error message given is : An operation that uses the database driver could not be completed.   If the driver is a Microsoft driver, make sure the drvier file isn't damaged, and if it is, reinstall the driver by re-installing Microsoft Query.  
    You can then try again and it will work.
    In fact the majority of the time this error message won't appear.
    The application has been removed and reinstalled.

    Hello,
    It's just a guess: Power Pivot uses the MSOLAP = "Microsoft OleDB Provider for OLAP" and maybe that Provider is damaged on the machine. You may try to reinstall the Provider, you can get the installer named "SQL_AS_OLEDB.msi" from

    Hi gurus,
    I'm a complete newbye searching the forums in order to decrypt what is inconsistent to me (I'm acting as a substitute for a real dba): a sapdb refusing any more connection due to an 'user space exhausted' issue.
    I do not even know if/where some admin tool is/isn't installed - eventually, what to look for - onto the running demianapachetomcat framework. Actually, all I have been provided was: 1. call 'Henplus' (done); 2. connect this way (jdbc:sapdb://localhost/database&options) and 3. select, upgrade, delete what needed. Problem arises on point (2): connection resufed 'user space exhausted'.
    My question is: this issue seems so similar to mine, how can one eventually check/modify this '/sapdb directory space'?
    Thanks in advance for any (much appreciated) hint, and be patient about my English and newbyeness (?).

  • Error message when updating Itunes...can not open Itunes program

    I am recieving error message when updating Itunes for my computer.  The error message reads "MSVCR80.dll is missing and the other error message reads Error 7  (Windows error 126)"  I can not open my Itunes.  I have reloaded the Itunes onto my computer but still have the same error messages.  Please help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Error Message when printing handouts

    First, I know this has already been discussed in these forums.  I tried the proposed solution in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/6273232#6273232 and it still didn't fly.  I'll go ahead and bust out a full explanation of the issue for those of you who may not want to navigate to the other thread:
    I'm getting the following error message when trying to publish my project as a handout:
    I'm launching Cap 7 in admin mode on a windows 8 machine and trying to publish to Word 2013.
    I'll select a publish location and start the publish, it gets to 10% and then stalls out (the error message doesn't appear at this time).  If I hit alt+tab, I'll see a "Save as" window.  I'll reselect the directory and name the file correctly and hit save.  That moves the progress bar to 100% and the error message appears.  I've tried to copy and paste the slides to a new project and the same thing occurs.  From what I've seen, others have had this problem but I've yet to see a confirmed fix.  If you've run into the issue and solved it, please let me know.  Is there a word plugin I need to install?  Is there a way to bamboozle my handouts from captivate to .pdf to word?  That would be cumbersome but I'm not scared to try it.

  • Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

    error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
    Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
    I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere?  I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp?   It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up.  I'm almost certain  it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
    I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
    Any help?

    You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
    Best of luck.
