G5 DVD burner error message? Help please?

I get this error message when I try burning a 1gb quicktime movie to dvd on my pre installed standard burner. Thanks in advance
the link below is a screenshot of the error
http://www.darkstargraphics.com/dvd_message.gif
Im at a loss and ready to by another
below is the dvd burner profile
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D:
Firmware Revision: A606
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 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

The error "internal target failure" appears on PCs using this drive as well, so it appears that it's not a Toast specific error.
However, in my browsing, no one seemed to be able to tell if it was a true hardware failure of the drive, or if it was caused by poor quality media.
I'd try other brands of media and a lens cleaner before flashing the firmware. And, if you do decide to flash the firmware, the current, official firmware for that drive is here. The link in MLCinma's post contains hacked (region free) firmware and is outdated in any event.
Let us know what brand of media you're using and what speed you're burning at.
The DVR-106D has had lots of reports of failures, so it could very well be the drive. At least a replacement DVR-111D will only cost you about $40 - $50.

Backup iTunes library problem using LaCie DVD Burner error message - help!

Hi!
I just purchased a LaCie D2 DVD +-RW DVD Burner for my Mac Mini running OS 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2. I've installed the latest LaCie drivers and iTunes recognizes the burner so no problem there. When I try to back up my purchased playlist iTunes checks the media everythings fine but when it tries to start the burn process I get this error message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-8785)." It then ejects the DVD-R. The Burner works fine with Toast, so the issue is with iTunes. I've tried using both Apple DVD-R's and Sony brand just in case that was it. Any ideas? Please?
Thank you,
Sam

i recently got an error message while burning a dvd with lacie. i had been using the same cd's etc. found the solution on roxio boards (which don't allow just anybody to join obviously).
the problem is iSight. it can cause problems with the lacie while hooked up to the other firewire connection. unplugged the camera and viola!!! lacie works again.
hope this helps you too!!!

Dvd burn error--need help with error message

Ok so I have read all the support articles and many of the discussions already posted...but still can not burn a dvd.
so, I created a project on idvd, it just has two slideshows that I imported from iphoto. I could not burn the dvd directly from idvd, got the multiplexing/burn error message. I successfully created a disk image and was able to play it on my computer using the dvd player, I then tried to burn it using the disk utility and again got an error message after it started the writing proccess...the error said "The devise failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Does anyone know what this means??? I have lots of room on my hard drive and am using DVD-R sony dvds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Becca:
Just click on the little  in the upper left-hand corner, click ' About this Mac', More Info..and open your System Profiler. Under ATA you should se something like this:

Trying to Open PSE 9 and get Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error Message HELP please! :)

Everything worked fine until I paid and downloaded a program called Rad Lab that works in Photoshop Elements. I got that downloaded and then tried to open PSE and it won't open and I keep getting this error message.
I've attached a screen shot of what the message is. Also Adobe ran an update on my computer and it came up with an error message as well. Adobe Photoshope Elements 9.0.3. Update- "Patch cannot be applied. Please contact customer support"
So I called customer support and the wait time is over 1 hour so here I am on this forum trying to get some answers! If anyone can help I would appreciate it so much!!!
Thanks!

Well, uninstall that RadLab thing, reboot and see if PSE then works.

DVD burn error message

I get this error message when I try to burn a data DVD: "Burning the disk failed because communication to the disk drive failed. (error code 0 x 80020022)
I am attempting to use the original drive system (Pioneer DVD-RW DVR 104) and it plays CD's and DVD's without a problem. Thoughts? Jim

just had this problem with a 17" MacPro purchased in Jan 09. Toast Titanium 9 had no problems burning the CD. tried it again in Finder but backed the burn speed down from 24x to 8x - no problem.
I can only assume it is cheap media causing the problem - we have no problems with Maxell CDs at full burn speed (24x). The CDs causing the problems are Verbatims (rated at 1-52x) that have printable surfaces.
hope this helps

Dvd burner error message "device failed to calibrate laser power"

When I try to burn a dvd, I get an error message:
The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
and then it spits out the disk. This has never happened before.
Advice?

If Wjosten's suggestion does not work, clean the dvds - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50448 or use another dvd brand - Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden are highly recommended by Mac users.

Have weird error message, help please.

I've created two classes to interact with each other from a problem in my text book. Here is the problem from the book:
Implement a class Employee. An employee has a name(a string) and a salary (a double). Write a default constructor, a constructor with two parameters(name and a salary), and methods to return the name and salary. Write a small program that test your class.
I'm think the error is probably small, but I'm having trouble identifying it.
Here is the code and error messages
This class contains a constructor designed to construct an employee object with
the parameters name & salary.
public class Employee
   String name;
   double salary;
      This constructor, when called, constructs an object Employee,
      sets the initial name and salary.
   public Employee(String constructName, double constructSalary)
   name = constructName;
   salary = constructSalary;
   The method returns the value for name to the EmployeeTester class.
   public String employeeName()
      return name;
   This method returns the value for salary to the EmployeeTester class.
   public double employeeSalary()
      return salary;
This class contains an executable program designed to test the functionality
of the class Employee.
public class EmployeeTester
   public static void main(String[] args)
         Employee rick = new Employee(rick,10000);
         System.out.println("The employee name is " + rick.employeeName + ".");
         System.out.println("The employee salary is " +rick.employeeSalary + ".");

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Comp
1900 files\EmployeeTester.java:9: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor Employee(Employee,int)
location: class Employee
Employee rick = new Employee(rick,10000);The error message is telling you exactly what's going yon. You're trying to create a new Employee by passing an Employee and an int to the constructor. Employee does not have a c'tor that takes Employee and int as arguments. So either create such a c'tor, or call one that does exist. (Without looking at your code or what you're trying to do, I'll say that the latter is more likely the correct course.)
Also, you've got a flaw there, in that at the point you say Employee rick, rick does not have a value, but then in the same line, you try to pass rick's value to the c'tor, but rick doesn't have a value yet. You're saying, "here's this new variable rick, give it a value based on it's current, nonexistent value."

files\EmployeeTester.java:10: cannot find symbol
ymbol : variable employeeName

System.out.println("The employee name is " +

ITunes help with syncing; many error messages, Help please!

So, I have downloaded and re-downloaded the new iTunes 10.7 about a thousand times. Everytime I try to download, I get the message "rolling back" and then it starts up again and continues to download. Once downloaded, I plug my iPod touch 4th generation in and I get two pop-up messages: the first says "...mobile device is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation or contact your system administration or the software vendor for support." The next message I receive is "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again." What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help? I would greatly appreciate it. I have been at this for about 4 hours and all I want to do is buy the new Red album and listen to it commuting to college.

Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Mobile Device Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Mobile Device Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you connect without the errors now?

This error (JBO-25002) says that a part of your app is looking for an entity association named fsweb.jbo.account.MarketplaceAttributeValuesMarketplaceAttribute, but it couldn't load it. Two possible reasons:
1. Are you sure fsweb.jbo.account.MarketplaceAttributeValuesMarketplaceAttribute is an entity assoc? Or, is it an attribute? Perhaps your app is trying to use an attr as an assoc?
2. Or, the xml file for the aforementioned entity assoc cannot be located. Please check to see if the XML file is jarred correctly and that it is accessible from the CLASSPATH. Note that fsweb.jbo.account.MarketplaceAttributeValuesMarketplaceAttribute would have a corresponding XML file name of fsweb\jbo\account\MarketplaceAttributeValuesMarketplaceAttribute.xml.

hello, I have been getting DVD burning error messages for the last two days. I have been getting the message "disk burning failed because an unexpected error occurred. there was also a message about not enough laser power to calibrate. I have tried slower speeds, a different brand of DVDs and a DVD Lens cleaner and still no luck.

Burn error message 261

I too am getting burn error message when I try to burn my playlists to CD since I downloaded iTunes 5.0. I am burning a MP3 CD and there are only 640 MB to be burned to a 700MB CD. I have gone through all of the iTunes suggested solutions. I have contacted Dell (my OEM) and the manufacturer of my CD-R/RW drive (Samsung). I upgraded the latest firmware for my computer and CD Drive. I still get the same message...burn failed for unknown reason...error message 261. It works in Windows Media. What gives? Is there a fix?

Hello Armando,
I'm not too sure if I could help you since you're running a Windows machine but if you want some reliable answers, could you re-post your question in the iTunes for Windows forum? I'm sure the people on that forum would help you better. Sorry about that.
Just FYI, you posted this thread on the iTunes for Mac forum.
