HT2801 my drive says it will burn dvd +r dl but it wont burn them

my drive says it will write a +r dl but when i go to write on it says it cant clabrate the laser

First step to try would be using a different brand of DVD+R DL. Some are better than others.
If you still have the problem, then it is likely that the laser for burning is defective. Contact Apple at the appropriate phone number on this page or carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or authorized service provider to get it fixed.
Best of luck.

I Mac is not reading from DVD drive. Disk will insert, then some noises but after a few seconds, nothing. I am trying to install Broterh printer disks. Any ideas? I am on Mavericks.

Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

I recently updated my phone to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone. It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up what should i do?

I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone because it is in "recovery mode". It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up and i don't want to lose my photos, what should i do? (I never used iCloud to back them up either).

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

When asked to verify my account it says I will receive an e-mail but I am not receiving one.

When asked to verify my account, it says I will receive an e-mail, but I have not received one. Help!!!!

ok... i figured out "A" solution.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Manage your account", enter your old apple id email and password, then edit the verification email to a functional email address. This will send the email verification to your newly chosen apple id. PLEASE NOTE, this email address can NOT be a MobileMe (@me.com or @mac.com) email address OR an address already verified on an existing apple id (some folks added and secondary email address to their MobileMe apple id).
Here's where it gets even more confusing. You've now changed your apple id email. Problem is you need to reset the password you never created (lol). Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Reset your password", then enter your newly changed apple id email address and follow the instructions.
Now, log into that email account and open the email to reset your password. Follow those instructions.
Now that you've changed your apple id email address, reset that password you are ready to finally verify your apple id. Open your email account and follow the instruction (link) to verify account. It will ask you for you (new) apple id email and (new) password.
Finally, now that everything is verified, you will now need to go into your iTunes, iPhone, iTouch and anything else associated with the old apple id email and update your log in info. You are now free to resume the services that worked just fine before the self-destruct button was pressed.
I love Apple as a whole but, wow... I feel like I'm at the beginning of MobileMe again.
Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!
ON A POSITIVE NOTE:
I appeared to loose nothing at this time through this process (i.e. music, apps, credits, etc.) except perhaps my cool. :-)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please email me details and I'll add them to the User Tip.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. I suspect you have portions of the digitizer disabled because of the broken screen. (conductors are open)

T41 Thinkpad CD RW/DVD Drive no longer will read DVD's

I have a T41 with an Ultra Bay CD ROM Mat**bleep**a 755yDVD/CD RW drive. I was able read CD's and DVD's. I had a system problem a while back and went to a system restore. Since then I can read and write CD's but DVD's or not recognized at all. Device Manager won't let me reinstall the driver. The registry seems fine. Where do I get a driver and what driver is the right one for this device. Does any one have a suggestion on how to fix this problem.

It is a bad piece of hardware. You have eliminated all other possibilities. You need to replace the optical drive. In the meantime you can install the software across a network by making the optical drive on another computer within the network shared and access the files on the disk from the laptop. Or you can get a usb dvd drive or you can copy the contents of the cd onto a flash drive and install from there.

Satellite M30X: drive won't read data DVD-R's but plays DVD-R movies and CD's

I have a Toshiba M30X with DVD/CDRW combi drive.
I have accumulated 12gb of digital photo's that I wanted to clear but did not fancy the number of CD's that entailed so I purchased a LITEON EZ-DUB external DVD rewriter and made 3 DVD-R's full of JPEG's.
However, when I put these DVD's in the Toshiba combi drive, it clicks away for a moment or two but when I click on the combi drive in My Computer, the folder is empty and it says there's 0 bytes.
CD's still work, both audio and data, DVD movies play just fine, DVD-R's made on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) play fine, but it will not recognise DVD-R's with data (JPEG's or MP3's) on them.
It makes no difference which software was used (both Nero 6.6 and LITEON EZDUB) and it doesn't matter whether the discs are finalised, single session, multi session or what - it won't play any of them.
These discs however work perfectly in my 7 year old desktop with a 4 year old Sony DVD/CDRW combi.
I'm stumped.
I don't particularly want to reinstall windows in case it doesn't recognise the Recovery DVD and I seem to remember Microsoft One Note having to be activated by telephone with a code that is different each time you ask it to generate one.
It's a bit of a pain as I wanted to carry my photo's with me in my laptop bag.
I don't want to be carting around an external DVD writer just to read the DVD's.
I've updated the firmware for SD-R 2512.
It had no effect other than to freeze on an all black screen during restart - I had to hold down the power switch after 15 minutes in that condition.
The laptop is 1 year and 26 days old if that counts for anything.
Anyone have any ideas? Or do I just put up with it.

Hi
Well, I can only make some suggestions.
You are able to place many MP3 and Jpeg files on the DVD.
Maybe this is a reason why the explorer cannot handle the DVD.
Try to burn the DVD with JEPG picture but don't make the DVD full with these files.
You should let a free space on the medium. Maybe it helps.
But it's very strange for me and this is only a suggestion. I have never tired it and don't know if it helps.
I had a similar issue on my notebook but I have solved it by using a compatible medium. Some drives prefer different mediums for different kind of files.

Optical Drive is Reading CDs and DVDs & Writing CDs but not Writing and Erasing DVDs!

Product Name & Number: Compaq Presario CQ60-101AU
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
Error Msg: Shows Reading Error at the end of burning DVD using Cyberlink Power2Go 5.5, Nero 11, Ashampoo Burning Studio 11
Description:
When reading and writing CD+R, everything works perfect. And Reading DVD also working perfect. The problem is while Writing DVD+R, DVD+RW and Erasing DVD+RW. When using burning software or the windows in-built burning, at the end it shows reading error. And While erasing also same problem. In the DVD, there are only some dark circles/lines with gap and doesn't look like normal written DVDs.
Steps tried out (but in vain)
1. Used different burners
2. Used Superblank
3. Uninstalled and Reinstalled Chipset drivers
4. Formatted the whole HDD and Reinstalled OS
Please Help! Actually where is the problem? And how to fix it?

Either go directly to Intel and run their driver finder or use this thread.

The bloat-ware if you want it :

Install the Chipset driver first, then the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, the rest doesn't matter.
Same for the NVIDIA driver, Notebook Review is up to date or you cab go directly to NVIDIA.

And the tutorial to do a clean install to W7.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm
If you have an upgrade disc, then you can do a clean install as long as there is a Windows OS on the drive.
I have also done a clean install form an upgrade disc to on a new drive and it still works.
Glad the MoBo's doing well ! What kills them is if you do allot of gaming, the MoBo can't take the heat. The cooling system just isn't up to the task.

The latest update won't load. It downloads, and says it will update at next use, but doesn't.

After clicking the dialog with the update message, it shows the files downloading, and then says that Firefox will be updated the next time that it's opened, but it doesn't. I got an error message at first, saying that there was a problem, but I don't get the message anymore, it just doesn't update.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Did you download the creative cloud desktop application and install it. Then use it to download Photoshop and install it? Did you subscribe using this link ? https://creative.adobe.com/join/photography

How do I get my pictures from photo vault to show again? Recently restored my phone and the backup saved the app. The app says 200 pictures etc. in the folder but I cannot see them.

I have a new iphone but I did a itunes restore backup. Basically all my apps, pictures, and text messages are back. The photo vault app says I still have the pictures but I literally cannot see them. It is a white screen but I can "select" a photo (a green check mark shows) when I choose a picture, yet it is just a white screen. I try to send it or copy it and I cannot find it.

Also you could try this:
Following are Steps to Transfer Photos from iPhone to MAC:
1). Attach your iPhone to Mac
2). Open up Preview
3). Click File menu and from there select “Import from iPhone…”
4). Select the photos you would like to transfer and click import, Select “Import All” in case you want to have all the photos in computer.
5). For confirmation sake go to ~/Pictures/ folder, picture copied from iPhone should be there.
If you have a windows PC then follow below given procedure to Transfer Photos from iPhone to PC.
You can accomplish this just using Windows Explorer, but there are two different methods. And here you go with the first one.
1). Plug your iPhone into your computer without iTunes running.
2). Now pop-up will appear asking what you would like to do with iPhone.
3). Click on “View Content”
4). Locate your photos.
5). Copy the same and paste it at desired location on your computer.
Another method for Mac users is "Image Capture" which is already installed on your mac, I will look for other applications for mac users, hope this helps!

TS4268 hi just setting up new ipad 2 and cant get imessage to work . when i put in apple id it says password incorrect have checked and reset but still wont work

hi just setting up new ipad 2 but when trying to use imessage it says sign in with apple id which i do but password doesnt work. have checked it numerous times but no luck. any ideas ?

The screen "Create Apple ID" is for users without an Apple ID (or someone who has forgotten their password). Since you do not want to create a new Apple ID, you are on the wrong screen.
Go back to the Sign-In screen and then sign-in with your Apple ID (or start over). The sign-in screen will have both fields to input: Apple ID and then Password. The Password screen may be a secondary screen after you input ID and hit Enter.
Hopefully, your further forays into the Land of iPad will not be as disconcerting as your beginning. I was also new to Apple (three years ago with the first iPad). It was a bit aggravating at first, however, now we own multiple Apple computers, peripherals and IOS devices (iPads,iPhone,Apple TV) and really appreciate the functionality and usability.
