How can I burn a dvd with a short movie file on my Imac so it will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message on my player "wrong disc type".

How can I burn a small movie file to a dvd that will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message "wrong type of disc" on my player. My burner is built in to my monitor. Will I have to buy software such as Toast to burn with?

I'm using the burner utility that came with the computer. The video is on I took with my small camera. I'm using a DVD-r disc and I drag the file to the disc icon then hit burn and everything seems ok. I can remove the disc and put it back in and see the file but if I put it in a DVD player it won't play, just get error message.

TS1368 I keep getting this error message and can't open the iTunes store. I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing" reinstall iTunes

I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

You might have two different things going on at once here.
Starting with the registry settings message.
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.)
iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

I keep getting this error message when I (right-click) on a photo file on my desktop to burn to a CD. I don't understand this code...does anyone? Thanks Ariel**:The disc can't be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).

I tried every obvious solution to this problem with different types of disc (-R; +R; -RW and +RW) and the problem persisted. Then I read about removing a hyphen in picture filenames. I renamed all the images and bingo there were no further problems. Apple should have solved this by now. This error code has been reported for several years and my MacBook Pro is quite new. Anyway, I hope this helps. It does work.

Since installing Lion I keep getting the error message 'there was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:" are not supported"' How can I fix this?

Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

What does it mean when you can't burn a CD because you keep getting the error message with -3?

I have gone through a dozen CDs, trying to burn a playlist, and keep getting the error message that the burn is cancelled due to -3......
Is this due to a problem with the CD burner or with a bad batch of CDs?

It may be a DNS issue. Where you would normally type "flylady.net"... just enter 208.87.85.216 instead. This is the actual address for the site. When you enter a website by name, it gets the actual address from a DNS server. There are tons of DNS servers out there and others who are getting to the site may use a different one. Just enter the numbers as shown (no "HTTP:", etc... just the numbers) and see if it works.

When I insert a CD that I know has photos burned into it, I get an error message: you inserted a blank disc. How can I access the photos?

when I insert a CD that I know has photos embedded in it, I get an error message: you inserted a blank disc.
The disc shows up nowhere on mhy computer, desktop,etc.
How can I access the disc that isn't there?

after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

I'm trying to burn a playlist to a CD-R blank disc and I keep getting an error message (2131). Does anyone know what this means?

I'm trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD-R disc at a low speed (12x) and I keep getting the error message "2131." Any idea what this means?

It's usually related to old firmware on your CD/DVD drive, but we'd better have a look at your DVD/CD tests first, just to be sure.
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:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.
