I can't burn a DVD even after following all the tips

I have a nine minute movie created from still phtos in iMovie that I need to burn to a DVD using iDVD 4. I followed all the steps provided online and still cannot get the disk to burn. (I have saved all the images and audio to the hard drive, there is plenty of free space on the hard drive, I have set the preferences to "best quality" and I have a blank DVD+R Memorex DVD to burn to). When I click on the burn button and insert the DVD it checks the DVD and then ejects it with the message "Please insert a blank DVD-R disk". I was able to burn a DVD by dragging the files from Finder to the Toast lite 5.2.2L program and it burned the disk fine. However, when I inserted the DVD into the optical drive it played without no sound (even thought the motion button was activated) and it could not be played on a DVD player. I'm at a loss.

Lucy,
You need to tell us a lot more about your computer system. See the '' box to the right? Click on 'My Settings' and tell us about your computer.
The newer Macs (in general) will burn and play both DVD-R media and DVD+R media (and yes, they are different). Earlier superdrives would only work with DVD-R media.
If you tell us about your computer, we can give you better information.

  • Even after following all of the steps, CC still will not let me sign in

    My problem is that even after following all of these steps to the T (the steps are here: You are no longer signed into your Creative Cloud applications), including the showing hidden files part, Creative Cloud will still not let me sign in.

    Am I correct in understanding that you are trying to sign in to the Creative Cloud Desktop app, but when your provide your login information, it says it is loading and gets stuck doing so? If this is your problem, we are both having the same problem. After I provide my login information, the loading spinner appears and I get stuck logging in.

  • Time Capsule does not work and i can not not mount it anymore, even after follow all apples instructions at FAQs

    My Time Capsule suddenly stopped working, and i can not even mount it anymore. When i ask for a backup, the time machine keeps looking for a disk with no success.
    I tried all the FAQs suggestions:
    1) I change the name of the disk using Airport Utility;
    2) I updated it using Airport Utility.
    Now i can not even try to erase the disk because after to update it, the disk in not listed anymore.
    Now i can just read a "internal disk needs repair" message. that wasn't there before, having in mind that the first response was "there is no space at the disk for a backup".
    What can i do?

    The TC has a fault..
    Power it down and let it cool off overnight. Power it on again the next morning and check if it works.. no luck factory reset.. do all the tests quickly as you have 10-20min before the Temp rises to kill it again.
    No luck it is dead.. give us the actual model number.. A1xxx from the base.
    How old is it?? Beyond 3years they do become dodgy.

  • Firefox will not load Java in Linux - even after following all instructions on net I can find - what am I doing wrong??

    The problem I've got is I'm currently running Puppy Linux on my laptop.
    Now I've tried everything I can to get Java working under either Firefox, Chromium or Seamonkey (I have all three browsers on my computer).
    For firefox and seamonkey I have tried the following -
    downloaded the tar.gz file for java
    unpacked it to /opt/java
    gone to /user/lib/mozilla/plugins and run the command
    ln -s /opt/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    to create the symbolic link to the plugin
    checked that the plugin is executable (actually even tried giving everything full permission to read/write and execute it)
    For Chromium done a similar thing but put the symbolic link in /usr/lib/chrome-linux/plugins folder instead.
    Restarted the web browser, even tried restarting X Server in case the browser is running somewhere in the background.
    All three browsers can pick up all the other .so plugins in that folder except Java.
    When I click check plugins on firefox I get to the page about "Missing Java? - For your safety Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version".
    However the version I've downloaded is Version 7 Update 9 which is exactly the same one that is available as the latest version from Java themselves (it was only downloaded from that link a couple of minutes before, I've even tried re-downloading it just in case there has been an update within those 5 minutes).
    If I go into the Java folder and run ControlPanel the Java control panel pops up and it knows where Java is installed and everything.
    So what on earth is going on? Am I installing the plugin in the right directory? I'm guessing so as that is where all the other plugins are stored and Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey are picking all the others up fine, or could there be an older version of Java lurking around somewhere on my system that Firefox, Seamonkey and Chrome are all trying to use?
    I've also tried downloading the RPM and installing that into the /usr/java folder and replacing the symlink from /opt/java to the one in the /usr/java folder and still nothing.
    I just really can't understand it 'cos it's picking up all the other plugins like Gecko and even installed Flash in the same way and that works fine.

    Thanks cor-el looks like Oracle need to update their linux installation instructions then. If only I'd have known that before doing all sorts to get it working.
    I now have Java in Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey :) :) :) :) :).

  • ITunes continues to crash, even after following ALL of the suggestions offered here. Now what?

    iTunes opens properly, but will shut down (crash) after approximately one minute, whether it's playing something or not. I have uninstalled and reinstalled (even with the help of Apple tech people to ensure I have done it properly). I have followed all steps offered on the link that Apple has to rectify this situation. When I created a new user, it worked for a couple of days, but then went back to crashing. I played it in compatibility mode (windows 7) and it worked, for a day or so, but then went back to crashing. I even tried installing an earlier version of iTunes, to no avail. I give up.

    If an Apple Store is too far then you could check and see if you have an Apple Authorised Service Provider near you, check the link below:
    https://locate.apple.com
    Alternatively you could ring AppleCare and see if you have postage service options in your area. You can find the contact number in your country at the link below:

    If the iPod was originally purchased just 3 months ago it is still within the Apple 1 year limited warranty. Now if the iPod has a manufacturing defect then the replacement will be free under warranty but if the fault is caused by any physical/liquid damage then the replacement would be at a cost to you.

  • EXCEL.EXE process is keep running even after closing all the handles

    I am using Excel Report Instrument functions  for creating excel application and sheet,workbook after reading/writing in to excel file am closing all the handles using CA_DiscardObjHandle (handle);     even after file is getting closed m checking it in TaskManager then one EXCEl.EXE process is keep running there,pls let me know how to deal with this....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A Kumar:
    Have you tried running the example program excelreportdemo.prj that ships with CVI?  It ends the excel process by discarding multiple handles, and it works even if you're editing a cell or have an Excel dialog open, etc.  Try running this without modification and verify that the excel process is closed when you quit the CVI app.
    Here's the Quit function from excelreportdemo.  It checks for and closes handles for the worksheet, chart, workbook, and excel application.
    int CVICALLBACK Quit (int panel, int control, int event,
            void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
        switch (event)
            case EVENT_COMMIT:
                if (worksheetHandle)
                    CA_DiscardObjHandle(worksheetHandle);
                if (chartHandle)
                    CA_DiscardObjHandle(chartHandle);
                if (workbookHandle)
                    ExcelRpt_WorkbookClose(workbookHandle, 0);
                    CA_DiscardObjHandle(workbookHandle);
                if (applicationHandle)
                    ExcelRpt_ApplicationQuit(applicationHandle);
                    CA_DiscardObjHandle(applicationHandle);
                QuitUserInterface (0);

  • HT5538 iMessage Q -- won't activate - even after following all instructions via Apple site

    Trying to get iMessage to work on husband's iPhone 5.
    Followed these instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268 All attempts failed.
    Image on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538 shows that the phone number needs to be checked also.  Mine is grayed out so I cannot check it.
    I have already activated (months ago) my phone number and email with Apple, but only reason I am questioning how to activate iMessage is because someone tried to send me a message and I never received it.  They had to call to find out why I didn't respond.
    I've followed all instructions on the links I've listed above, but still does not activate.
    Iphone 5
    About this iPhone: V 6.1.4 (10B350); carrier AT&T 14.0.
    iMessage under settings > waiting for activation; send and receive: email correct and verified; phone number does not have a check after it like the image shows at the above link.
    On my iphone 4, the phone number is checked along with the email address.
    So I'm thinking there must be an issue with the phone number in order to get iPhone iMessage to work.
    Not finding anything about that on the Apple site or Googling either.

    Found answer.  One does NOT have to do all the suggestions I've found everywhere on Apple forum: reinstall, reboot, reactivate, delete Apple acocunt, reinstall Apple account, reinstall email, reinstall phone number, restore, clean installs, reinstall previous backup, reset to factory settings, on and on and on with a nightmare of information to try.
    All it took was TOGGLING the auto date/time settings on iPhone.
    The phone number then was checked automatically.

  • HT4437 After following all the instructions when I open a photo now AirPlay symbol appears

    After following the instructions I open a photo on my iPhone and no air play symbol appears. All other functions of the Apple TV seem to be working well

    If Larry's suggestion re iPLM doesn't help there's always the last ditch effort solution:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • HT1386 After following all the required steps I am still unable to sync "favorites" from my pc with my ipad.

    I have tried several times to sync my list of favorites from IE to my ipad. Can anyone offer any assistance please?

    Assuming wifi works on the iPod like Safari works.
    You likely have an error in the settings. Frequently it is easier to delete the account from the iPod and reenter all the settings vice trying to find the error.

  • Can't burn a dvd even in DVD creator pro??? What's up?

    I'm trying to burn a video that I made in iMovie. I open the app DVD Creator Pro- Burn DVD. Everytime I insert a blank DVD, iTunes opens up and says...
    You’ve inserted a blank DVD. To burn items on the DVD, select the playlist that contains the items you want to burn, and then choose File > Burn Playlist to Disc.  If you haven’t yet created the playlist, choose File > New > Playlist, then drag items from your library to the playlist.
    I don't have my Video saved in iTunes so why does my blank dvd open up there???
    I tried burning it in my DVD Creator Pro, and I get an error every time.
    Thank you
    Cinda

    Make sure that in the System/CDs & DVDs preference pane you don't have iTunes selected to open when you insert a blank DVD.

  • Fire Fox WILL NOT LOAD Gmail, even after folling ALL the steps in HELP, but it loaded it yesterday and NOTHING has been changed!

    I was using Fire Fox and I got the message "Fire Fox is not Responding". I tried waiting for it but after 20 minutes I closed it down. When I opened it up again and tried to use my Gmail bookmark but all I get is a message telling me that "The page isn't redirecting properly! Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." This makes "No Sense at All" because I have used this bookmark Hundreds of times! I have tried to call up Google and try to go to Gmail from there but get Exactly the Same Message! I can go to Facebook using my bookmark but none of the games will load! I can get to Gmail using IE9, but when I try to go to Facebook it starts loading but NEVER Finishes! I just had to "restore my computer to factory Specs" a couple weeks ago but have used it without problem until 09/23/2012. Over the past 6 months I have Gotten the "Fire Fox is not Responding" Error HUNDREDS of times and cannot figure out why you would release a product that is NOT COMPATIBLE with ANYTHING on Earth! Please Fix Fire Fox before you lose ALL your Customers!

  • Acrobat X won't launch even after following all posted solutions

    I have a licensed academic version of CS6 running on a win 8.1 64 bit computer. The software has been installed for < 1 week and was licensed immediately. Acrobat X won't launch. It shows me the window with a large screenshot of what I was previously looking at. I then have to crash out of it. I tried deactivating and reactivitating it last night and it worked fine. One solution also said to update the software. So I did. Now it won't work again. I tried the following solutions:
    1) Run the patch in windows
    2) Run the acrofix patch through cmd
    3) Deactivate/reactivate
    4) Update software again (no new updates anyway)
    5) Look for and change name of cache.db (no such file)
    What can I do? This is a huge hinderance to my work. Thanks!

    The software has been fully activated including getting my serial number through registration of an academic account, activating my online account, and activating the account. There are, as far as I can tell, no further things that I need to do. By reinstalling the software I was able to get Acrobat to work again, but I am afraid now that I won't be able to run any updates.
