IDVD5 Burning DVD Error Code # 34506

Can anyone help me find this problem and how to solve it. I have tried every method possible to make a DVD from a 22 minute iMovie made from still shots and a variety of music pieces(including some purchased on iTunes). Tried making Quicktime movie also, but no luck.
Thanks

Well, there are no Apple Articles about that particular code, mostly, I believe, because it is a general error that may be caused by many things. I gave you the most common cause...but now it is time to check a couple of other things.
Have you tried trashing the iDVD preference files?
Quit iDVD.
Locate a file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of it. iDVD will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files you need to trash are found:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist

  • Will Not Burn DVD: Error code 0x8002006D

    Hello
    I have a 12" PowerBook G4 fitted with a SuperDrive running Tiger 10.4.11. My machine will still play & burn CD's it will still play DVD's but it will not burn DVD's.
    When trying to burn a DVD it comes up with following message:
    Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
    (Error code 0x8002006D).
    I am trying to burn using Verbatim DVD-R, which I have successfully used in the past.
    Any ideas what the problem is, and are there any possible solutions?
    Thanks for any help.

    I've never had any issues with it either, I still think it's a good utility.
    For burners, an external would be easiest to use as it plugs into a port on the machine. The lacie burners are ok, overall decent software & firmware support. I tore my apart to use the drive in a G4 tower, software all still works!
    Get one that can use firewire & usb. the PPC will boot from a firewire external DVD & it could also be used later, if needed, on a machine that doesn't have FW.
    Another option is macsales.com here in the States sells the exact same slot drive apple does for about $90. They do ship internationally, about $25 USD to London. If you want an internal solution this would be the way to go.

  • ITunes 7.3 failed back up data DVD burn had error code 261(0x00000105).

    Just bought a bunch of new songs and went to back them up in iTunes 7.3 and I keep getting error code 261(0x00000105).
    Any ideas? Did not have this problem in prior versions. Brner works fine with other programs.
    Thanks!

    Keep getting the same error as well. Run cd/dvd diagnostics and it should tell you... "The last failed data CD or DVD burn had error code 261(0x00000105)".

    Has anyone come across what error code 4900 refers to? I have searched throughout the forum, but found no specific answer. This error occurs every time I try to burn a disc using a CD-R. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • "The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80)"

    Prior to the iTunes 7.0 update I had no problems burning discs from iTunes. Now, after the update I can begin burning, seem to burn a few tracks, before the whole system crashes causing a reboot. The drivers are up to date, and the drive is functioning correctly. Here is the diagnostics report:

    I guess I should also ask, is anyone else having their system crash after part way through burning an audio disc? And better yet, has anyone had this problem and then been able to fix it? Or, does anyone know how to resolve this if it can be resolved with the current 7.0 build.

  • CD burn had error code 4280, HELP!!!

    I installed the latest version of iTunes, but as many other postings I've read, I have not been able to successfully burn a CD with iTunes since the installation. Every time I get the message, "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4280)." I have used Device Manager in the Control Panel to try and update the driver for the CD-ROM, but Windows says it cannot find a better driver than the one I have installed. I also ran CD Diagnostics in the iTunes help menu and the text is attached below:

  • HT203164 I tried my first Windows CD burn with iTunes; the burn fails at different points in the burn with error codes 4450 or 4280.

    I tried my first Windows CD burn with iTunes; the burn fails at different points during the burn, with error codes 4450 or 4280.

    I have the same problem, after years of everything working great. Last time this happened I tried using a different brand of CD and it worked, but I must warn you that now iTunes rejects all three brands I have been trying to use.

  • DVD Burn fails (Error code 0x80020022), newish drive, just applied updates

    Hello,
    when i try to burn a data dvd with a variety of files from finder on my power mac g5 it thinks a while and then fails with the message:
    Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed (Error code 0x80020022)
    I just downloaded the latest OS updates last night.
    Disc utility showed permissions problems in some files on my boot drive including in a darwin folder but they repaired fine.
    Two weeks ago apple replaced my superdrive and i hadn't tried burning a dvd since then, but cds did and do burn fine.
    This computer is under warrantee but in case the latest software updates caused this, or if someone has an easy fix that would allow me to save the trip to the store for analysis and potential couple day wait...
    i'm all ears!
    Thanks, Will

    At one point in the last few days i did run out of disk space on one drive, but i think i had 5Gig free on the short drive when i was trying it earlier, and i have upped that to 30.
    My spindled HP DV-16Xs worked on the drive i had before pretty darn well.. I've tried a bunch of unlabeled ones, i've also tried burning at 1x, and i went out and bought some jewel cased verbatim dvd-r 16Xs, same problem.
    I will take one more shot at finding the best media using that website, get some 8Xs if i can find them, before hauling it into apple.
    without the dvd burner it's hard to backup very well, I was planning to get a external hard drive next month.

  • Cd/DVD not burning.  Error Code 0x8002006E when burning DVD's

    I have a MacBook Black and am trying to burn cd's and dvd's. I have tried multiple brands of DVD and CD and can get the cd's to burn once in a while with a microboards printable cd. When they don't burn I get either an error saying something about not being able to calibrate laser power, or it goes through like it's burning and shows up on the desktop, but when I go to open the disk, there is nothing on it. DVD's never finish, giving me the error code 0x8002006E. It will also not read any DVDr's on the machine. Stamped DVD's (store bought)are fine, but multiple brands of DVDr will not read. All of the burned DVD's I have are personal movies and music videos that I made on the machine. Anyone have any suggestions? Is my superdrive toast?

    You can check in system profile and select disc burning to verify what cd/dvds are readable by your superdrive....Also with that error message you can try removing any extra ram chip installed, with that model powerbook it also has onboard ram built into logic...being a disc reading problem id say its the superdrive itself, you can try cleaning the lens with those cleaning discs you buy from electronic stores..Burn disc whilst running on power adaptor and not battery...
    just a few things to try might help you

  • DVD Error Code: 0x8002006E

    Hi there!
    Can anyone help with this? I've been burning files to DVD for ages now and suddenly I am getting error code: 0x8002006E.
    I can still burn files to CD but for whatever reason the DVD's will no longer burn. Please help if you can.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Discussions - as far as I know, there are two different lasers in your optical system, one for CDs, and one for DVDs. Apparently, the one for DVDs has failed. You should probably take it in for repair.

  • The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4000(0x00000fa0)

    I tried removing the itune, installing the most up to date one. I tried everything and I could use help badly. I put in new CD's to burn and it checks it and does not even burn the DVD and I wasted so many CD's doing that, I'm not quite sure what do to. It used to burn it easily and I'm not sure why its giving me this error code. Please help.

    This is exactly the same problem I have.

  • Superdrive error and inability to write DVDs (error code 0x8002006D)

    I was attempting to burn media that totaled 4.4 GB on a 4.7 GB single layer quality TDK -DVD-R. It failed on 2 attempts after almost completing the burn, and then on the 3rd attempt i got:
    "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006d)."
    I tried burning a lower capacity CD-R and it worked fine.
    Played a music cd and DVD and it played fine
    Played a CD-r copy of an original music CD and it worked fine.
    I searched the web and it advised that:
    1. your optical lens may be dirty (almost seldom use it, not even to watch DVDs)
    2. a bad batch of media (couldn't be because I have burned from this batch for the past year)
    3. Lens needs calibration (possible via DVD/CD lens cleaners)
    4. try a different brand of media or try a different format DVD+R
    My superdrive gets very minimal use, so I knew this couldn't be a "wear & tear" issue. I opted for option 3 and cleaned my drive using a memorex branded "OptiDisc" CD/DVD cleaner. After attempting to play the cleaner, it never did go to an Audio CD option, it merely spun for about 40 sec and spit out the cleaner.
    I am happy to report that whatever it did, it must have recalibrated the superdrive. now it successfully burns DVD-R again.
    hope this experience helps.

    whatever it did, it must have recalibrated the superdrive
    No - it simply cleaned the lens system. Your #1 "1. your optical lens may be dirty (almost seldom use it, not even to watch DVDs)" Low usage might make the matter more likely; all it takes is a little dust or dirt to get on the lens to cause problems.
    There are TWO optical systems - one for DVDs and one for CDs. The cleaning disc simply 'brushed off' each optical system lens.
    BTW, the burning laser actually calibrates itself to your media before it starts each burn (there is a special area on each writable disc reserved for his purpose).
