G5 iMac burning cd issue

I attempted to burn some files to a cd today. My burner is the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J:
The cd's and dvd's I have are compatible.
I load the cd, the finder prompt appears as normal, I click ok.
I drag the items to the cd and click burn. I chose 8x speed.
It goes thru the motions as usual, but spits out the cd implying it's not successful.
The message that appears reads: "This disc could not be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (Error code 0x80020063)"
I assumed it didn't work, tried 2 more, same response.
I then checked to see if there was anything on the cds and yes, all 3 burned, successfully and are readable.
Mind you I've used these cd's in the past w/no problem. I also just installed Leopard, and my computer is fully updated.
Any idea? Is mine about to fail like the numerous other reports?
Is there a utility or app in our OS that allows us to check the workings of the burner? If so, what, where, and how?
Thank you.

Not sure.
But I do have a similiar problem with mine.
I created a playlist of the songs that I wanted to burn.
It has only 14 tracks (enough for a CD)
But everytime I burn, it shows "Burning (song name)"
But neihter the bar not is the track moves on.
It just stays there in the first track.
But if I burn the songs through Roxio Toast, it could be done.
This happened 3 times already.
All components in my iMac have been updated to the latest software.
Maybe it's the firmware.
Just want to know the answer to my problem

  • My macbook pro Retina has got a burn-in issue.

    My macbook pro Retina has got a burn-in issue. The device is out of warranty. I reset PRAM but it didn't help.

    As per with any computer, a very basic rule of thumb... The more ram. The higher processor speed... The faster and more efficient your machine will be.  And since processor upgrades are relatively difficult to do if you're not familiar with the hardware... Then I'd go with a ram upgrade (ie getting more assuming you're not already maxed out)
    But shy of any of that, just clean up.  Any photo albums, videos, documents you dont need or use anymore.. back them up ten delete them.  The same thing with extra apps or programs.  Think of it his way, the heavier your backpack gets, the slower you're going to walk.  Lighten the backpack, the easier and faster you can walk.  So start by cleaning house.  (personally I'm a big fn of or matting and re-installing everything every now and again.  It may be overkill, but it's one of the best ways to clean.
    Start with the free and easy.  If you don't get results that you like then go on to some options that have a price tag

  • My PC can connect to the airport extreme but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues, any help.

    My PC can connect to the new airport extreme I just purchased but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues.  If I open the airport exteme up and provide no security everything is fine which leads me to believe it is something with the encryption between the two devices.  Not sure what step I'm missing here this shouldn't be this difficult.

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
    DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
    The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
    Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model?

  • Can my iMac burn Lightscribe labels

    Can my iMac burn Lightscribe labels on the lightscribe dvds ????

    With appropriate software, yes, presuming of course you have a Lightscribe drive. The vendor of your drive should have provided software, but if not,. Lightscribe has it here:

  • After using iDVD, can my iMac burn a DVD ?

    After using iDVD, can my iMac burn a DVD ?
    I mean how do I know whether my disk drive can write/burn DVD ?
    Mine is a 24" iMac bought some 5 months ago.
    Thanks

    Assuming your mac has at least 25 GB's of available hard drive space on the boot volume and an S-Drive as opposed to a combo drive; the latter only reads dvd's while the former both reads and writes to dvd, then you should be able to, yes.
    But follow the iMovie> iDvd Tutorial/s first.

    Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

  • Magic Trackpad / iMac wake up issue.

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of a fix for the following Magic Trackpad / iMac wake up issue please?
    Basically hooked up a Magic Trackpad that was bought several months ago now and found that it works great however the 'click' functionality does not work whilst waking up my iMac. The cursor moves as it should however it's not possible to click onto either a registered account nor guest account in order to enter a password to wake-up from screensaver.
    To get around this I've had to pair-up my Magic Mouse again which is not ideal.
    A fix for this would be appreciated.
    OS installed: OSX 10.7.5.
    Thank you.

    Just my .02, but why do you want a screen save? I was told a long time ago by some engineers not to have your screen saver running. Just non essential. Me, I have none of our computers doing so. They time out and sleep in between, so the hard drives and logic boards power down, if not shut down completely.
    As for you situation, I had the same problem a while back and believed it was one or more of the apps. in the back ground. Could even be the UPS. Either re load your OS to check any corruption. And/or, check your login list of apps. and finder to see what is running without your knowledge or in the background, then closing out of open programs one by one prior to the screen saver engaging and see if it changes things.

    My issue:
    I have had no issues burning CDs and DVDs before. I recently bought a new printer that prints onto DVDs, so I bought some generic printable DVD-RWs and tried to burn from iDVD. The process seems to start ok, but stops about 1 minute into the actual burn and spits the DVD out of the drive. No error message, but this screen remains...
    Just to check that my Superdrive was still working, I then tried a non-printable TDK DVD+R and a non-printable Kodak DVD-R and burned with no issues.
    I decided it must be the generic printable DVDs, so I bought some printable imation DVD-Rs, but these will not work either.
    Is there a known issue with printable DVDs or do I just need to keep trying different brands until I find one that works?

    It may be the layer they have and your Superdrive - it may not like the different "feel" of printable media. I don't think iDVD has anything to do with it.
    Take a look at these which I found googling:

  • Is the Burning Speed Issue Ever Going To Be Fixed?

    Used to burn a CD in 3 minutes, now 18-20 minutes. Like a lot of people, it will now only burn at 4X speed. Have seen a lot of posts on this, but never a response on what is going on. Don't have the burner or music on external, so it eliminates that issue. Somehow something forces the speed down, and I have tried all kinds of different cd's and they all behave the same. Has anyone been able to pinpoint or fix this problem?

    The difference between USB 2 and USB 3 is mainly one of supported data transfer rates, the basics of the protocol (identifying devices, bus arbitration, etc) are the same.  The differences don't impact a keyboard at all, since the fastest data rate a keyboard is capable of generating under normal use (~150 words per minute by a phenomenally skilled typist) is many orders of magnitude slower than the average USB data transfer rate - probably quite literally a million times slower.
    Most keyboards actually negotiate the port they are using down to USB 1.1 mode, as they make best use of that particular data transfer scenario (less data more often with less latency on the initial packet of a transfer).
    Generally, when people ask about a keyboard being "updated" to USB 3, they mean they want the additional USB ports on the keyboard to support USB 3, not that teh keyboard itself use USB 3.
    In any case, your situation sounds more like a bad keyboard to me...have you tried using a different Apple Extended Keyboard with the iMac?

  • Weird iMac Leopard Install issue.

    Hello All,
    Recently Was given an iMac G5 With a 1.8Ghz PowerPC Processor and 2Gb RAM.. It works great, However it has Tiger and I want to Upgrade it to Leopard..
    Here's where the Issues start..
    I put my DVD In the Drive.. I know the DVD Works, I've used it on Many other Computers without a hitch. it brings up the "Install OS X" Window and When I click it, It tells me to click another button to restart and Boot from the CD..
    It then restarts, And I can hear the Superdrive Working away (The Superdrive works Fine BTW) It then shows the Grey "Apple" Screen and the little wheel starts spinning, Super drive still reading fine.. Then the super drive stops reading (You can hear this) The little Wheel goes away..
    Then it sits for maybe 20 Seconds and.. The fans being to speed up.. Slowly at first then faster and faster until they are just flooring themselves.. I thought this was normal so I left it for awhile.. 1/2  Hour later and still nothing..
    Help me guys, I'm stumped.. I don't usually use macs.. So I have no idea what I'm doing..
    Thanks All
    Cap10323

    It's A copy of a Leopard Disc I had, I had dropped and broken the original But I still have the .DMG (Or .ISO or Whatever) And so I Just make another one when the old one gets too scratched..
    It's actually the only one I've ever seen.. It came from a rare Leopard single layer disc.
    It's not Pirated, However I cant find another single disc one to try.. My machine won't read DVD+R DL's You see..
    Could it be because I burned it on a PC? I am not quite sure how to burn discs on Mac.
    Cap10323
    The iMac Works fine BTW, I'm Posting this reply from it..
    I have heard there are ways to remove extra printer drivers or something to make a normal one fit on a Single layer disc.. Does anyone know anything about that?

  • IMac Burn-In?

    I dont know whats going on, if its because i have 2 extra monitors (1 via mini display and the other external video card from dvi to usb) but my mac has been getting "burn-ins" I mean it doesnt stay if i move the browser or have white on the screen, it semi disappears but then comes back a while later and this recently started.
    I have an iMac 21.5 inch mid 2010 model
    3.06 GHz Intel Core i4
    4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 256mb
    Running Lion OSx
    I had an iMac previous to this a 20 inch and I had no problem like this with that one before I sold it so I am wondering why this is happening, I only got this iMac in Feburary of last year so its not even 1 year old; so is it a iMac problem, an OSX problem, or to many external displays issues problem? I only had 1 external display hooked up the 20 inch when i had it mini dvi to vga cable.
    This is an image of what my problem is, if anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

    also my iMac runs 24/7 and I dont really turn it off so would that be a problem to?

    Here is an Apple article on how to avoid image persistence:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807
    I would not leave the screen on 24/7; at least let the display sleep if you want the machine to run continuously. And, if you didn't have a problem with your last Mac, you were simply lucky - one does have to use some precautions with LCD screens.

  • Intel iMac Power / Overheat issue?

    Hi there,
    I have an Intel iMac from 2006. About 2 years ago it started to just turn itself off randomly as if there was a power failure. When it does, the only way to power it back up is to switch it off at the plug, switch it back on and press the power button (strangely) twice. I have noticed it seems to be temperature related - when my iMac reaches around 78C (which I'm pretty sure it should be able to handle fine?) it tends to be in the danger zone and at any minute can switch itself off.
    I've got around this by using smcFan Control - which thankfully displays the temperature in the menu bar meaning when I hit around 72C I can whack the fans up to full blast to keep the temperature down. Being a sound studio computer - the hum of the fans really isn't ideal, but it at least makes my computer usable. However, I'm currently in the middle of a big project on Logic and I've had to turn my room into a fridge (window open-more clothes on) to be able to work on it as all the processing involved heats it up to 75C+ in no time.
    I was hoping someone could shed some light on this or at least tell me if I am right in thinking that 78C is nothing really and the iMac should deal with it easily.
    I have seen tons of posts regarding the G5 iMac power problems and similar problems with the intel iMacs - I've done all the hardware resets (PRAM, SMC, PMU) as suggested in these forums but nothing has helped.
    I have had the power supply changed in the past (before this problem arose) as one day it just went kaput. Don't know if that makes any difference but I'm pretty sure that the problem started a little while after the replacement was installed.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Repeated iMac Problems, Display Issues now Kernel Panics

    I’m lost on what’s wrong with my 2008 iMac and I think I just have to bring it back into Apple for a third time to have it repaired. But something is obviously not working that is causing these issues.
    About a month ago, my computer began showing heavy pixilation, flickering images and the on-screen graphics. The computer appeared to keep working in the background from what I could tell so I came to conclusion that it must be the graphics card that’s failing and I’ll need to have it looked at.
    My 2008 iMac was custom-built by Apple with the Nvidia GeForce 8800GS that was offered as an upgrade option. There have been several posts on the display and graphics discussion board about that graphics card along with other postings other places about the problems the Nvidia GeForce 8-series had.
    The display problems I mention above would not happen immediately, it would happen as the computer warmed up and was used for 3-5 minutes.
    Anyway I brought my computer into Apple explained to them what I believed was the problem and the Apple Store technician agreed with me. Because I did not purchase AppleCare, it cost me $400 and a week without my iMac to have that card replaced.
    I got the computer back two weeks ago and everything seemed fine. It was working as it always had. I even was running SMC Fan Control in order to keep the computer as cool as I could (the Nvidia problem was related to overheating).
    But this morning, this is what I woke up to:
    http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7436/photoijr.jpg
    The computer now has a semi-permanent pixilation when it starts up (as suppose to the pixilation 3-5 minutes into use). But more worrisome now is I cannot start up the computer without it going into a kernel panic. I tried resetting the PRAM, I tried starting in safe mode. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is booting from an external HD which I will try this evening (to hopefully isolate it if it’s hardware or a software problem).
    The Apple Hardware Test has been unhelpful. When it originally failed three weeks ago, the test showed nothing and this morning when I ran it (permanent pixilation and all), it showed nothing. I feel like if it was a software issue the pixilation would have disappeared during the hardware test because that’s not an OS-X based program.
    Here are my specs on this computer:
    2008 iMac 24" 2.8ghz Intel Core Duo, 4 gigs of RAM (Crucial Purchased, I have original sticks somewhere), 1 TB HD, Nvidia GeForce 8800GS.

    Hi, just to update you, I came home today and did a few things that didn't seem to solve my Mac's problems:
    - I booted up from my firewire "safe" drive that I keep a copy os x on to see if I had a corrupted hard drive or something. It booted into the kernel panic I described above.
    - I also swapped out the crucial RAM for Apple's factory RAM. It also booted into the Kernel Panic.
    In both incidents, the display issues didn't go away. Now instead of pixelization i have vertical bars running in a pattern across my screen.
    I'm currently trying to boot onto the OS X CD at this point to see if I could do a reinstall. It's taking quite awhile to boot into that.
    With that in mind, I think we're still having graphics card issues or more seriously some logic board problem.

  • Resolution to iTunes Burn ID3 issue

    Here is one resolution to not getting the ID3 tags when burning in iTunes
    Go to edit>preferences>advanced>burning> if the audio CD is checked then your CD will not have the ID3 tags. But it will play in all or most CD players.
    To get the ID3 tages you must have Data CD/DVD checked. If the music is bought @ iTunes music store and you give this disk to someone else or put it on one of your other computers you can transfer the music to your iTunes and it will have all the ID3 tags but you will have to autorize that computer to be able to play that music. You can have 3 or 5 computers authorized under your name. This is one of the ways to do it if you are backing up your iTunes.
    If you have MP3 checked you will also have the ID3 tags and I am assuming this will take care of the problems people are having using iTunes burned CD in their CD Players that display ID3 Tag info
    Hopefully this helps with some of the ID3 tag issues while burning in iTunes.

    It overwrites the Artist too, it seems.
    Do you know how it is setting the "Podcast is true" setting, and how I can disable that??
    This is all very confusing and annoying. iTunes 4.9 didn't do much of this, and it was a better podcast client in my mind. iTunes 5.0 making me consider switching to another podcast client so I can have one that makes sense.

  • I have a itunes 11, iMac, iPad sync issue... all new kit, the itunes library and photos are on a networrk drive but syncing is useless, no music, no photos, no video, sometimes music and videos may be visible but greyed out on the ipad....

    This is my first posting so sorry for the messy title... I didn't realise how it all worked here.
    I have a shiny new imac, shiny new ipad and have all my media on a network hard drive - itunes works fine on the mac - no problems - photos visible in finder and photoshop - no problems, but when I come to sync the new ipad - several things may happen (I have tried many times now)
    1) a long wait - whirly gig round spinner thing - then music visible on the ipad but greyed out and useless
    2) no photos at all synced
    3) no videos synced
    4) info syncs ok
    5) apps seem to have synced OK
    It is not a data size issue as the same amount of data synced before the new kit from my old windows pc on to an iPod - I daren't try syncing the ipod as I need it for my next business trip.
    I tried removing the ipod cache files for the photos - no difference - I tried restoring the ipad - no difference
    Have I completely wasted a large amount of money?

    ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"
