It sounds like you are trying to burn a dual layer disc. Do you need a dual layer disc? (i.e., do you have more than 4.3 GB of material?) If you do then there is a tutorial at;

I'm using DVD Studio pro to burn a dvd but it won't let me cause I keep getting a "Formatting Failed" error message. It says "Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds max layer size allowed. Choose a suitable marker location." What does this mean?

It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

Formatting was not successful. A suitable marker could not be found in the required layer break range

When burning to DVD =R DL

Formatting finished.
Formatting was not successful. A suitable marker could not be found in the required layer break range. See the DVD Studio Pro User's Manual for more information.

Do you understand about layer breaks? Check the manual on this. Also do some googling. I went thru **** with this a few months back being unable to set a layer break. Finally realized that my dvdsp project had gotten corrupted. Had to rebuild it and then it worked.

Hey timeline
welcome to the apple boards...
ill give you the easy fix, although i would recommend the proper fix.
first, build your project on any of your drives so you can see your audio and video TS folders.
once you see your build, then click on "Format" and before you click on format (on the lower right hand corner of the Format window, click on the second tab and under "Layer Break" click the drop down box and whatever is NOT greyed out, can be used as a layer break.
the more proper way do it it would require you to do some calculations based on the amount of video in your project and re-encode your video.
hope that helps

Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed.

I am getting the following message and do not know what to change in my pref.
Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed. Please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition.

No change in preferences, it is something you need to make a marker for on a DL Disc
On the layer break some threads below - basically there needs to be a marker somewhere so that is around 1/2 way give or take Take a look at the PDF pages 576-586 for some of the details.

Image Exceeds the maximum allowed size for a dual layer configuration

Error message appearing on the log it's a 7.2gb project on a 8.5gb dvd. Any ideas as to how to fix this. The build was okay.

Could be the way the meter is counting, or how you are looking at the size.
http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_2.php (where are you seeing 7.2 Gigs?) If the size is over making audio AC3 or changing video enocoding rates could do the trick.
Also if the error message is slightly different it could be an improper (or none) layer break.

HT4061 I attached my iPad to my laptop to sync to my iTunes account. It told me that there was a software upgrade. After attempting to upgrade the software I received a message that the upgrade was not successful. Now the iPad is locked.

After failing to update the Op system my iPad is now frozen on a screen showing a USB connector pointing to iTunes. It is connected and nothing is happening. I have not been able to reset or restart the iPad3.

Its solved I just restored it to that point

DVD studio error-Formatting was not successfuld

Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed. Please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition.
How do i change marker locations? I have a DVD that is 4.9Gb and have a dual layer disc so disc capacity shouldn't be the issue here...
Thoughts anyone?

What is happening is that a little over one half of the DVD has to be onn Layer 0 and the rest on Layer 1 - and there has to be a marker right around the area when that situation occurs. Take a look here:

What you need to do is drop a chapter marker in around the half way point (you may want to put a couple in) to make sure - as an aside to you use AC3 audio? If not, then use AC3 audio and you could mae it on a DVD-5

Chris CA, 62,910 points. Dang...that's a lot of support. Before I start, let me say Thank You! You need to answer a lot of people's questions to achieve that.
1) You slightly misunderstood my letter through no fault of your own. It was a generic compilation of information submitted by members of this discussion turned into a letter by me for use on the Apple Feedback site. I myself did not receive an e-mail. I actually was prevented from purchasing any more iTunes gift cards at a certain point and was given a cryptic response from the iTunes store that my request could not be processed. It was only after investigation on my part that I found out the reason was the $100 max per 30 day rule. I'd try to find where in the Apple's support site I did find that information...but, well, you are just going to have to trust me. However, others in this discussion stated they received the information in an e-mail. I used that fact in my letter as it seemed to create a less "cumbersome" feedback submission.
2) "Why look for iOS apps?" That's a good very good question! I miswrote. I should have said "OS X apps." That is where iTunes is located on the Feedback Site. Good catch. As you know (62,910 points is a lot of "knowing"), when you submit feedback you must click on the item of which you are going to write. I must be so ramped up for the impending release of the new iPhone that I had iOS on the brain. My bad. :-)
3) In all the time this discussion has been alive (over a year), and in all my googling, I never read about an option to contact iTunes support and ask them to remove this limit from my account. It is too bad you didn't come to this discussion when it started in May of 2011 to offer that piece of advice! Surprisingly, that information wasn't anywhere on the Apple site where I read about the $100/30 day limit. Maybe it is there now. But, it sure wasn't there when I read it. It would have been very helpful.
4) You say "(which they can do and often have done for many people here)." I am curious, what do you mean by "here." Not "here" as in "here in THIS discussion forum." Right? I don't see anyone in this discussion aware of that information and posting it for others to read. By "here" I assume you mean the ENTIRE Apple Support Community. Unfortunately, until you arrived on the scene, none of those from that gigantic "here" came across THIS discussion to share their good fortune and knowledge about removing the $100 limit on iTunes gift card purchases per 30 days.
Well, I think that wraps it up for another day. I am off to iTunes support to get this limit removed from my account.
Adios amigos!

"The rasterized image exceeded the maximum bounds for saving to the PNG format"

Hi everyone, I'm using Illustrator CS4 and encountering the following problem:
I made a level map in illustrator that exceeds 10000x10000 pixels. When I try to export the image as a PNG, I get the error "Could not complete this operation. The rasterized image exceeded the maximum bounds for saving to the PNG format". I tried saving in JPG and others as well, but got similar errors.
How can I get around this?

Here is an interesting discussion: http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/735556-png-maximum-dimensions
-- although the dimensions there are way larger than your paltry 10K x 10K. It appearts not to be a limitation of the PNG format, but solely from the software used.
Here's a question. What on earth do you think you need 10K x 10K PNG files for?

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now my ipod is frozen with a screen picture of music round blue symbol and an arrow displaying a cable connection. I received a message saying that the download was not successful.

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done? Thanks.

Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode and restore
