I keep getting an error trying to burn DVD on brand new imac!  Error code 0x8002006B

I have a brand new imac and the very first time I tried to burn a dvd I got error code 0x8002006B.  I have had this computer only a few weeks. How does this problem get fixed?  spend too much money to have a faulty computer!

OS X is not Windows and there is no need to "delete and reinstall" frequently
If you're non tech person or (like me) a bit lazy to perform tasks manually, get Onyx -> http://www.titanium.free.fr/ and clean up your system ocasionally.
For deleting applications use a tool like App Cleaner -> http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25276/appcleaner
Run "Permissions Repair" and a clean up before and after each major update; e.g. 10.6.5 -> 10.6.7.
Update to 10.6.8 too, as 10.6.7 is a bit sluggish.
I've never delete, format or reinstall since 2008 and performed just a system disk swap from the old MacBook to the new one when my 2011 MacBook Pro arrived.
That was like eating a pie.
Open old one, pull disk. Open new one and changed disk's. Startup and waiting 3 minutes for completing hardware detection. Performed all necesary updates. Cleaned system, doing a permissions repair, reboot and my system runs as designed and expected.
Needless to mention that I have NO issues and everything on my new MBPro runs fine, fast and smooth.

  • Burn dvd/cd on new imac

    I have the new imac and i´m goig to buy the apple external cd/dvd drive. Do i need to buy any software to copy and burn cd´s or dvd´s?

    Hi ruiceu,
    you can burn cd's and dvd's without any other software.
    All what you need is the Disk Utility from your application-folder or the Finder.

  • Can't install photoshop cs6 on brand new iMac - "Media db error: 18"

    At my company we recently hired a web designer – given his insistence on using the Adobe software, we decided to give Photoshop a try.
    We downloaded a trial version and tried to install it on the brand new iMac (no previous installations of adobe stuff) we just bought for the new desigher, but... it's not even installing!
    The installation process halts at around 2% and an error screen appears which gives generic instructions ("restart your computer and retry") and points to a log file where one can read "Media db error: 18".
    Of course we tried restarting the computer, cleaning up ~/Library, re-downloading the installer... no good – we then downloaded and run an adobe cleanup utility... still no good.
    Some people on the internet report they have the same problem... we found several questions on the matter, but no answer (besides "restart your computer" and other generic stuff that we tried and does not work).
    We then called Adobe support (Italian support) and they told us they don't give support for trial versions, like we should sight unseen buy a (pricey!) software we can't even install! .
    Can anyone here help?

    Thanks for your help!
    No, no beta or previous installations of any Adobe products – we are trying to install to a brand new iMac (just bought last week from the store): it has the latest version of everything (Os: Lion 10.7.4)
    Is there any debug switch I can turn on on the installer to get further information on what's going wrong? ("media db error" is a somewhat laconic error message)

    Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

    Thaks,

    This often means the backup is corrupted.
    First of all reboot the network.. turn everything off and restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients.
    If you still have issues, hold the option key when you click the Time Machine icon on the top menu and it will bring up verify backups.
    Do that.

  • Error when trying to burn DVD

    Hi
    I get this error (repeatedly) when trying to burn DVD recently.
    Error code 0x80020022
    Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
    It's self explanatory I know, but what am I supposed to do about it? Is it a problem with my hardware?. I can't see the icon for my disc drive in Disc Utility to check it.
    I've shut down and restarted, tried different DVDs, they're all DVD-R although I did try at first with a DVD +RW and hope this hasn't caused some damage.
    Hope someone can help thanks.
    I'm having loads of problems creating iDVDs as well. But I think I need to resolve issues one at a time....
    Helen

    Hi Helen - here are some general purpose iDVD tips that may address some of your unspecified troubles. In terms of communication troubles, could your hard drive be going to sleep, or screensaver kick in and interrupt the process?
    General tips:
    Do something small first; get some experience before you need to do a big project.
    Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of space on the hard drive for scratch space.
    Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
    Give yourself lots of time.
    Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
    Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor and Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
    Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image .img file (patchburn for iDVD 4 and older) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x) and let it cool down.
    I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
    Try testers; you can use DVD-RW
    I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
    No other apps open.
    Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs. Don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

    Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

    I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out every time.  Can you help.

    You don't have to update to iOS 6.0.1. A few iOS 6 users have reported problems, but most have not. However, for my iPad 2 I'm waiting until iOS 6.1 is released. iOS 6 doesn't add that much for the iPad 2, and it subtracts YouTube and Google Maps apps.

  • I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3.

    I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3. I've returned one and got a new one. I've turned everything on and off. I've upgraded my bandwith. I've tried using different HDMI ports. Nothing is working.
    Sometimes a movie will start to play for about 3-5 seconds and then freeze. My music plays fine as well as other videos that are not HD.
    This has been going on for 3 weeks now and Apple Support and Genius Bar couldn't help.
    Would appreciate any other solutions folks came up with.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I'll try to get a new HDMI cable, but that ****** me off since I bought the one I had from Apple thinking I'd avoid any issues like this.
    I've also never had a movie play and have also tried Reset.
    Since the movie starts to play for a few seconds, I'm assuming it is not my TV.
    Thanks!
