i got this message while buring a CD on itunes. "The Attemp to burn the disc failed because of medium write error"..what do you make of this?
i think the CD was bad. i took the machine to the Apple store and they said the Optical Drive was OK. so it must be the CD's i'm using... i use Verbatim type. let me know.

'Mediium write error' means it failed to write to the disc - some makes work better than others and you may just have hit a single bad disc or maybe your burner doesn't like the make of disc. I've always had good results with TDK.

thank you thank you for taking an interest. this is so frustrating.
i only have apple keyboard, mighty mouse, and 20 inch cinema display connected. this morning took out memory and tried to boot up with individual pairs in the first bank. first the (2)256, the (2) 1g, and then the other (2) 1g modules. everytime I get the weird fuzzy wheel under the logo after a while, black screen flashes, then grey apple logo fuzzy screen then black forever.
I ran tiger updates this morn. still will only boot to safe mode. then tried to run leopard disk to install it
will not boot from leopard disk.
tried safe boot, then doulble click install leopard, restart, then the saga repeats with the pixely red square around the wheel.
these are fresh drives with only what came on instll disk loaded.
thanks again for taking an interest.
i love this system(well at least i did). I want to install leopard on my powerbook too but am terrified to do so right now since it is working and I have work to do. Can't afford to have no computer to do my work on...self employment is great?!
This is making me crazy. I anxiously await your words of wisdom.

Why do I get a message saying "You are running an operating system that InDesign no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms."? What does this mean?

It means that your machine does not meet the system requirements for InDesign. Check the system requirements for InDesign against those of your machine to see where your machine comes up short.

First, restart the MacBook Air and the Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this solves the problem.

Burn failed because of "Medium Write Error."

I've got a early '08 Macbook Pro running OSX 10.5.8 and iLife '09.
I'm trying to burn a tracked podcast to a CD, and after getting through all the mixdowns and normalizing, it will burn for a short while and will "finish" the burn, eject the CD and come up with a "Burn Failed" message that says,
"The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-867 drive failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error."
This problem has just recently developed. I've done this many times in the past, but the last few CDs I've tried to burn have taken me four or five tries until I get a successful burn. I'm tired of wasting my CD-Rs!
My drive reads both CDs and DVDs without a problem, and burns through iTunes without a problem.
What's going on? Can I do anything to fix this?

UPDATE!!!
On suspicion as I am camera geek, (film maker)
I know dust can do weird things, I took the blank part of the disc container, you know, usually solid color or clear and cut it into a gun shape and wrapped it in one of my fiber fine lens cloth.
I gently inserted it to knock some dust loose, (think optical eye) be careful not to twist or shove to hard if resistance is met. did the old nintendo blow in the drive fromt the side and prayed.
Went back to FCPX and re-shared to disc and....... Voila!!
Burned several discs already.
Good luck if you have this.
I suspect the dust from my over amped fans due to SMC fan control could have blown dust or hair on the optic and prevented it, (this is where apple listens close)
Please advixe your "techs" to suggest compressed air or disc cleaners..although my disc cleaner did nothing.

I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
3. Restart iTunes
4. Restart IPad
5. Connect IPad
6. Still I got the same error
7. Restart iTunes
8. Restart IPad
9. Connect IPad
10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.

I got the message "4403D" when I tried to startup while pressing "Option D" keys while starting up. What does this mean?

I have a Macbook purchased in 2009. I am running Mavericks, which has caused several programs to stop opening (Calendar, Quicktime...) so I have been trying several things to fix it. One thing is to try to do a Apple Hardware Test over the internet. In order to do this I need to restart my computer while pressing the option and D keys.
When I did so I got the message "4403D". I had to hold the power button down to turn off the computer in order to restart normally so I can use it.
What does this mean? And how do I fix the programs?

Can you provide the link of the website on which you are having problems ??

TS1702 I purchased an app and got a 'waiting' message on my itouch screen. What does this mean?

You have a router that assigns IP addresses in sequential order.
Always turn your devices on in the exact same order and you will avoid the message.
It is not a serious problem.
If your router supports DHCP reservations based on MAC address of the devices that will resolve the problem.

Burning playlists from my iTunes to CD doesn't work anymore. Keep getting a "medium write error" message. What does this mean?

I'm trying to burn playlists onto a cd from itunes. I keep getting a "medium write error" message. What does this mean? I heard that this may mean that I should try burning at a slower speed. I tried this and that didn't help. I also heard that I may need to use a different brand of CD-R disc. I have not tried this yet. I also heard that it could be a software issue or disc drive issue. I recently updated my macbook pro software from tiger to snow leapord. Do you think this could have affected my itunes playlist burning capabilities? Thanks for the help.

A system upgrade should not have affected anything. When did you notice the loss in functionality?

Realize that a MBP that came with Tiger is an old computer and optical drives do not last forever.
You could try a drive cleaning disc to remove dust. Don't be overly optimistic. I suspect it is an old drive issue.
