Error when burning CD

I get this error message when I try to burn a certain playlist.
"+the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-50)"+
I just burned a different playlist without any problem. What does this error message mean?
thanks
Leslie

I cannot burn a CD from a playlist after downloading Version 9. I get a message "cannot find my burner". I have verified that my burner is working fine. Cannnot find the problem with Itunes.

Power calibration error when burning?

I get a power calibration error when burning from IDVD.
Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

Basically a power calibration is the drive writes to the blank and then tries to read it back and adjusts the laser power accordingly to get a proper burn. So there are a number of reasons you might get this problem.
One is the media itself. A bad disc or poor quality media might give you this error.
Next, you may have a dirty laser and running on of those cleaning CDs (they have little brushes on them to dust off the laser) might do the trick.
Third, could be a laser on the drive is giving up the ghost. Hopefully it is not the last one.

Unknown error when burning disc

I get an unknown error when burning playlists to blank discs. My computer begins to write the discs, but stops after a song or two.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

Memory allocation error when burning in premiere elements 2

I have premiere elements 2. I happily burnt a version of my dvd then suddenly it stopped burning and I had the above message during the burning section of the process. My computer has adequate memory to run this programme and nothing new has been added. I then downloaded Premiere elements 7 as a trial and burnt this Dvd yesterday. However today it won't burn through 7 either so i am reluctant to upgrade unnecessarily. Can anyone shed light on why I receive this error message.
Other things seem to burn but I am beginning to receive messages that Adobe is low generally on memory allocation.

Error when burning DVD - no plugin DLLS

When burning a DVD I get an error message that says Plugin Coder error : no plugin DLLS. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

They do but aren't cheap.
Look at SuperMediaStore.
You might be able to find them cheaper. I was just checking to see if they make them.

Hardware Error when burning DVD's

I keep getting an error message when burning DVD's using Toast Titanium on my iMac..it reads:
"Drive Reported an error, Sense key = hardware error, sense code = 0 x 03."
Twice after getting that message I couldn't continue to burn and it stopped, once it did continue to burn and finished successfully. Any ideas, anyone?
17" iMac G5 w/ iSight Mac OS X (10.4.3) upgraded to 1GB RAM

I get the same message today when burning from Toast 7.02 on my iMac. It happened when I was trying to make an audio CD from my iTunes collection (not when Copying from CD to CD). The exact message I got in the middle of my burn was:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = hardware Error
Sense Code = 0x03, 0x01
I tryed again with another CD and got the same thing. I never had a problem with these CD's (TDK CD-R up to 48x).
I wonder if there has to be some sort of software upgrade fro Roxio Toast or is this a superdrive malfunction/etc. My Superdrive gets very loud during this burn as well. I may take it in to Apple Genius Bar. Any ideas?

Check on firmware update for your drive and different media is where I would start.
I think it may be a media problem as well...on numerous occasions when I insert a blank CD the drive will spin a few times the eject the CD....
I'm guessing I can find the firmware update via the Apple Support section..?

I would upgrade your Toast software to the latest because the version you are currently running is not coded to run on an Intel Mac or even 10.4 for that matter. Toast 6.1 was the first version compatible with 10.4 and Toast 7.1 was the first Intel compatible version.

Thx...I was not aware I needed Toast 7.1....my current version has worked in the past so I thought I was OK....

HELP! OOstatus error=- 47, ERROR WHEN BURNING

I am getting an error that states "osstatus error = -47" when I try to burn a disc, does anyone know the workaround for this??
I am using 2ghz intel core 2 duo macbook
thanks in advance!

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?

Error when burning disc

When burning cds on iTunes, the playlist is checked and then it starts and sounds like it is burning, but then cancels after several minutes and spits the cd back out. Says that the function can not be completed. Unknown error number 4000 or 4002. ???

Hi Michelle,
You are posting in the ITunes for Apple/Mac. Try the iTunes Window group. I am sure you will get a better answer there.
Or buy a Mac and come on back. Just kidding.

Error when burning DVDs

I get a L-EC uncorrectable error. (0x11, 0x5.) error when trying to burn a very short (30second) movie onto DVD. The DVD ejects and, when it next is inserted, doesn;t appear on the desktop. Any ideas boffins???

Try Verbatim DVD+R disks. If they burn it's the media and with Sony DVD-R I suspect it's likely to be the disks.

Error when burning disc image

An error occurred when I tried to burn a disc image of a DVD slideshow. The slideshow has 324 slides in it and is almost 38 minutes long at the moment. I have added sound by creating a sound track in iMovie using a combination of songs downloaded from iTunes and tracks from my own CDs then blending the two blending the two. The slideshow plays on the computer and I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
Any advice?

I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
Can you clarify what you did exactly? You mean you saved the project as a disk image, then went back and did further work on the project?
The audio tracks you imported from iTunes may have been copy protected and will not burn in iDVD. The workaround is to burn those tracks to an audio CD in iTunes, then re-import into iTunes from that CD. Then will transfer to iMovie and iDVD without problems.
Also, something here may help:

Error when burning DVD

I just bought a Mac a few weeks ago, and have had some trouble burning DVD's. I have a G5 running 10.3.9, with a Pioneer Superdrive. I try to burn an image in Disk Utility, but get the error message "The disc is reserved for exclusive use by another application". When I try just burning files using finder, it says "This disc cannot be used". I have tried DVD-R and DVD+R. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi macaboo
Welcome to apple discussions. Just to add to the already excellent advice kindly provided to you by Fred Shippey;
I too have one or two suggestions:
First is to delete the plist for iDvd (but first quit the app). The plist is located in your preferences folder and looks like this (assuming the app has been launched at least once):
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Now try your iDvd project again. But if that too fails then ...
Delete encoded assets from the Advanced menu tab and then try the burn again.
That procedure looks like this. Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

Error when burning dvd's

I have a satellite a305 with vista. I had been downloading torrents awhile back and got a nasty something because my computer went crazy. I managed to "fix" it except that the keyboard and mouse were nonresponsive. A usb mouse worked but no usb keyboard would install. Despite this, I was still able to burn dvd's.
Now, since it is unacceptable to NOT have a properly working keyboard I had to factory reset the computer. Now it all works great.
EXCEPT when I burn a dvd (dropping files to it....I haven't downloaded any 3rd party software) it starts to encode...gets to about 3.5% and then encodes super fast (usually burning a dvd takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours) and eject the disc after 30 seconds. A window pops up saying an error ocurred while burning the dvd. I am using memorex dvd-r discs. It did the same thing when I used my old disks (Sony dvd-r) but I assumed that since they were scratched a bit that must be causing an error.
I just want to make my DVD's. So frustrated!! I tried checking to see if Toshiba had a driver update I was missing since I did an out of the box reset, but they're screen to choose my laptop doesn't have my model available.
Any ideas for me?

Since Toast is not an Apple product, you should probably post your question on Roxio's discussion boards:

Source Material error when burning disk image

Well, I've been haunting these forums for 10 days, finding answers to every darn problem under the sun I've encountered! (thanks folks, I've been near hysteria) Now I have yet another problem, and I cannot find an answer in the forums (sorry if it's there.)
I have built my movie in iMovie, imported to iDVD, created my disk image, played my disk image (worked perfectly), connected my brand new LaCie external burner, loaded Toast 6 Lite, dragged my mounted disk image icon into the window, popped in my Verbatim DVD+R and let 'er rip.
And, poo, I'm informed that 4 files are in an unsupported format and cannot be imported. EH? I thought the disk image kept all self-contained? I press onward, and hit burn. Churning, churning... and then this message:
"Could not record disc because there is a problem with the source material. Result code= -18774"
Trying to burn via Disk Utility doesn't work either. My mounted disk shows up, but when highlighted the burn button is grayed out. Only when I click on the .img file is the burn option lit.
Am I supposed to drag the .img file rather than the mounted little disc icon? PLEASE HELP. These movies were SUPPOSED to be Xmas presents... now I'm praying for Michaelmas gifts!
TIA

ohmygosh. Lightbulb! I've been trying to burn the file_name one and not the file_name.img one. I assumed the point of mounting the file was to burn it, but it's only to preview it, yes?? So, I did that via Disk Utility, and it worked!! Only thing I can't figure is how to set the burn speed. I know slower is better, but can't find the place to tell it the speed. It never asks.
Toast still gives me the source material error. I do have the 'video' tab selected, and I've done the drag-n-drop method AND the 'add' method ('copy' is only for transferring data from one CD/DVD to another in my version, evidently). Toast doesn't allow me to grab the .img file, so I'm assuming IT wants the mounted file_name one? I'd still like to be able to use Toast to burn, so a solution to this would be appreciated. I'm using Toast 6 Lite, BTW.

Error when burning DVD RW (Error Code 0x8002006E)

Works with DVD +R, -R, CDR... but it wont burn DVD+RW for some reason
I had this problem 3 years ago when it refused to burn CDs, and I had my ODD replaced with one of these
MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-857E:
Firmware Revision:          ZF1E
Interconnect:          ATAPI
Burn Support:          Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache:          2048 KB
Reads DVD:          Yes
CD-Write:          -R, -RW
DVD-Write:          -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies:          CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media:          Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
So here I am again having the same problem - 'burning the disk failed because an unexpected error occured (Error Code 0x8002006E)
I tried both burning from Finder and disk utiilty. I tried quickly erasing the data on it, which was nothingnd when I tried to burn something it threw up this error - 'The disk can't be burned, because the devide failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media' (their bad grammer not mine)
So what is this a software problem or another faulty ODD?
I ran a hardware test recently and no problems were identified.

I just tried it again using a different account, same problem. I was burning DVD+Rs already today, then I went out and bought a packet of discs from tesco DVD+RW and they wont burn no matter which way I try it. I remember having this problem with Tesco CDRs 3 years ago when I sent my macbook in for repair, but I think I have used tesco discs since thren without problems. I've had trouble on two occasions reading music CDs as well + the drive is sluggish and noisy when inserting/ejecting discs.
Finding a lot of threads on this and not really much in the way of solutions. At best I've been able to ascertain that the problem is probably software related owing to the error code.
I don't know what else to try. I hope tesco take back this stack of discs that's probably got nothing wrong with them, I doubt Apple will refund me.
This computer has just turned out to be an endless source of problems and headaches.
