IDVD5 won't burn 2nd copy

Actually I am experiencing two problems , but lets deal with #1 first.
1) After I burn the first copy of a 53 minute project with 6 chapters & two slideshows, the DVD works well & looks great. When I put in the second disc iDVD spits it out after about 20 minutes and nothing is done on it. iDVD is then frozen, with the burn menu still up. The menu claims "done", but it ain't.
I am foced to force quit iDVD, and go through the 5 hr burning process again, yuch.
2) Every other burn gives me a "multiplexing error". I've seen posts on this, but why does iDVD work some of the time , and not others?
I tried copying the good DVD with Toast ((I've done this before very successfully) but my iMAC has decided that I should be tortured, and will not let me bypass this problem claiming that there are media problems. Of course this same media works later in iDVD. AFTER 5 HOURS!!!
I am not letting this problem(s) affect my sanity , but it sure is taking a long time to produce these 6 DVD's.

Where do you purchase 4x DVD's? All I see lately are 8x.
I'm using Verbatim 1-8X (white inkjet printable), but use Toast to burn at 4X; mainly for "supposed" compatibility. Best Buy had Verbatim on sale this week locally (Chicago).
then the next one is spit out without an error message?
Inconsistent quality? Stay away from Memorex and TDK.
My reliable DVD-Rs have been: Apple 4X (Maxell ID), RiTek 4X; Verbatim 1-8X, RiData 8X, and PioData 8X, all white inkjet printable. The RiData and PioData checked out to be RiTek-made.
Verbatim is reliable and can be found in many stores in the USA. They even make a special grade for medical records.
You can buy the RiTek, RiData, and PioData at:
http://www.shop4tech.com/
Verbatim may be available in your neighborhood store or:
http://www.taperesources.com/
http://www.newegg.com/
Apple brand can be purchased from the Apple online store.
You can check the manufacturer's ID by using DVD Media Inspector: http://homepage.mac.com/raktajino/dvdmediainspector/dvdmediainspector.html
You could wade through this: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia
From that database: Five brands and who actually manufactures the DVDs:
TDK = TDK, RITEKG04, RICOHJPN, MXL, CMC, MCC
Memorex = CMC, RICOHJPN, PRODISC, INFODISC
Imation = CMC, MCC, Ritek, Prodisc
Sony = MCC 01RG20, Sony04D1, TYG01
Fuji = FUJIFILM02..4X, FUJIFILM03..8X, ProdiscF01..8x, ProdiscS03..4x, PVC001001..2x, RITEKG03..1x, TAIYOYUDEN..2x, TYG01..4x, TYG02..8x
This can result in "mixed" experiences...
My friend used TDK on his Mac and it wouldn't play in his 5 year old Sony DVD player. All of mine play OK in his "antique" Sony. Update: He finally gave up on that antique and bought a Sony DVPNS775V http://ww1.onecall.com/PID_22332.htm which also plays double-layer DVD+R.

Adobe Premiere CC won't install 2nd copy

Had Premiere CC on two computers. Uninstalled from one. Even though I have on only one computer now Adobe CC says I have it on two and will not let me install it on the 2nd one.
Thanks,

Did you sign out (Help > Sign Out) before you uninstalled?
You probably need to contact Adobe to get your activation count reset.

Burning 2nd copy of movie DVD from a DVD?

I have created a (movie) DVD from iDVD and would now like to make a second copy using the DVD (it is no longer in iDVD). How can I do that?

Well, if you've moved some of your original footaga, deleted it, or whatever, the "event" may still show as an event, but there may not be any actual files in it - I am guessing that is what is going on with it being greyed out. Normally you don't move the event, you move the files inside it. You might want to do a general search on your Mac with the name(s) you used (if you remember) to see if they are anywhere. If they are not, well then, the only possibility is the DVD you had made.
In that case, MPEG Streamclip is not on the Roxio website - Roxio makes Toast. MPEG Streamclip is a video converter - you can check it out here:
http://www.squared5.com/
Make sure you read everything about it. It is free, but in some cases, requires the $20 Apple MPEG 2 Playback Component:

I burned disks of previously purchased content that is not available thru iTunes anymore but the latest ver. of iTunes won't let me copy this same content onto a new comp. Is there a way to do this or maybe an earlier ver. of iTunes to download?

Incomplete book message won't let me order 2nd copy of iPhoto book

I have been trying to BUY a 2nd copy of a 90 pg photo book but message says it is INCOMPLETE & I must "drag a photo to place in background" which I already completed perfectly for the 1st book (and received it).
I have redone the pages in question over & over but nothing is accepted...what could be problem? Don't want to spend another month starting a new book over again.

what ever
It would be a lot easier to go though each page of the book and verify tha tthe page background is a color rahter that a missing photo - what you do is up to you
Well that indicates that there is a photo missing
have you deleted any photos from iPhoto or tided up your disk since you ordered?
Go thorough the book carefully and verify that all photo frames are filled in - the most common cause of this error- is a page background out requiring a photo with the missing photo hidden behind a layout that includes photos that are there

Won't let me copy books to a nook.

I have two nooks. One ADE sees and will let me copy books to. The other one it sees, but won't let me copy books to. I've deleted the manifest file multiple times. I've re-installed ADE. What next?

I do burn discs with nero and when I do that it is closed and you can't add more later.
It seems Nero can do this trick but after the second time Bridge recognizes it as a locked read only device.
Personally I would switch to a USB stick which is much faster and easier to use.

Won't let me copy to hard drive post power surge

Ok, to make a long story short, I hope, I had an electrical fire (everyone's ok) that involved and destroyed my laptop's power cord and as part of that fun I seem to have had a power surge that has reset some of the defaults on my computer but not all. Some of the folders I created prior to the surge are gone, etc. The only real problem is that the permissions on my internal hard drive seem to have been reset. Below are the things it will and will not allow me to do.
-- I cannot copy files from a flash drive, cd or external hard drive to the internal hard drive. I get that circle with a line through it. Clicking and dragging, copy/paste, nothing works.
-- I can move stuff that is already on the internal hard drive from folder to folder.
-- I can save email attachments to the internal hard drive.
-- I can copy stuff from internal the hard drive to a flash drive, cd or external hard drive.
-- I can read the files on flash drives, cds or external hard drives, such as a movie file, just fine, they run without a glitch. The peripherals did not suffer any resets as a result of the fire/power surge. When it happened the computer shut down automatically and I think that saved the accessories from being damaged because the computer is the only thing that showed any changes after it happened.
And before someone asks, yes, I checked, I have 40 GB of HD space so it's not a space issue.
I right clicked on MAC HD and did the Get Info and looked at the details of the permissions on various files and tried shifting some of those around but even though it says Read and Write it still won't let me copy to the internal drive from other sources. Interestingly when I got to the User file it was marked Read Only but changing it to Read Write didn't help. Something I did once worked but then it stopped working so I have no idea what it was. I put everything back the way it was. Could somebody please help me? My computer is old and dieing a slow painful death but if I can make it last a little longer that will make my life so much easier. Please let me know if you need any system info or anything.
*Thank you!!*
PS. I'm not posting this on the peripheral thread because the problem isn't really the peripherals, it's the system not wanting to play nice with others, so that's why I put this over here.

Hi. It's not a dumb question, cause if it is then my answer is really stupid, what's a repair permission? lol I don't know what that is so I guess the answer is no, though I can guess from the name it's a program to fix permissions if the files get messed up? I knew how to change the permissions in Get Info but past that I was getting into things I don't know so I figured it was time to ask for help or I'd be on here asking how to un-erase a hard drive. jk So how would I do that and is there anything else I should do?
Sorry if my initial post was a bit defensive. I had a moderator give me flak over some minor thing on a post once and I was supremely frustrated with this problem. Sorry if it came out kinda angry. I appreciate any help you can give me.

How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show. I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides. I recently updated my iMac to OS 7. I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time I have not liked an upgrade) I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences. Well, this has me stumped. It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?
Mairzy

I recently updated my iMac to OS 7
What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?
It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.
How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs, see:

HELP! I got a new iPhone and want to download my music from my computer so I don't have to down load song by song on my phone. iTunes Match won't let me copy it from my computer. What do I do?

I have iTunes Match and it's been fine until now. I'm trying to download my music to my phone so I don't have to use the wifi to play it all the time.....but iTunes match won't let me copy from my computer without shutting it off. If I do that then turn it back on then I lose all the music anyway.
I'm so frustrated and can't download song by song to my phone.
help.

If you mean you want to sync your music from your computer to your iPhone you need to disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Go to Settings > Music and set to iTunes Match to OFF (not green). You may need to wait a few minutes for the change to register with iTunes. Connect the iPhone via USB/Thunderbolt and sync the music.

Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format. I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn., Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format. I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn.

Since I updated my itunes I can no longer burn a playlist to disc using MP3 format. I clicked on converting the songs to mp3 format but they still won't burn to disc. The computer says it is checking media and then stops.

same problem. Im using itunes version 10.6.3, I converted wavs burnt from cd, to mp3 using itunes, these were NOT PURCHASED from itunes, and when I try to burn an mp3 cd using the new mp3 files, they convert to wavs before my eyes every time i create a new playlist of the mp3. The mp3 revert to wav within less than 30 seconds. As if itunes is saying, let me help, I substitute the higher quality 1411 wav files for you. And of course, now they wont burn to mp3, because "they must be converted to mp3 first" before burning.
But every list of the mp3 version of the files keeps reverting to 1411 wav files?
WHats going on? Thanks

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

DVD / CD's won't burn in finder

SONY DVD RW DW-U10A
First: It doesn't acknowledge I've put a DVD in. Nothing. It keeps asking me to insert a disk.
Second: CD's won't burn in finder. They start for a couple of seconds and then they are rejected saying it's a "Power calibration area error 0x8002006D The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
- I can't find anything on that error code from Apple or Sony. I assume it can't read the disc for some reason and try a (2) cleaning discs. That didn't work.
- Disc utitilty says all my permissions are fine and I've got the disc space.
- I try different brands of discs - nope again (Sony, Maxell, Verbitim).
- Then I deleted the plist, rebooted. Not it either.
- Followed that with Onyx, deleted plist & rebooted again. Now I have to turn the power off to get it to reject. I can't delete 'untitled CD.fpbf' folder either.
- So then I try to burn a disc in ITunes and it works, but very slowly (4X).
- I figure the drive is starting to give out and just before I buy a new one, I sign into a guest account and guess what? It burns perfectly from finder and fast.
Now, why would a guest account make a difference?
I have no idea what to try next.
Thx for any suggestions.

replying to mandelinjo
no problem. happens to a number of folks (especially people used to the earlier versions of iTunes that didn't have so many diagnostics options.)
okay ... i'd like you to check in with Dell to confirm precisely which kind of Dell you have. there's updates available for the 2400 and the 2400C, and the updates for one may not be compatible with the updates for another. i don't want you to be installing incompatible updates.
these are the two different download areas:
Dimension 2400
Dimension 2400C
you also appear to have three different drives showing up on the same bus address:
IDE\DiskWDCWD800BB-75CAA0_____________________16.06V16, Bus Type ATA, Bus Address [0,0]
IDE\CdRomHL-DT-STCD-ROM_GCR-8481B_______________1.06___, Bus Type ATA, Bus Address [0,0]
IDE\CdRomHL-DT-STCD-RW_GCE-8483B________________B105___, Bus Type ATA, Bus Address [1,0]
SCSI\CdRomVO0524SEYM602D________2.0B, Bus Type SCSI, Bus Address [0,0]
... so it might be worth investigating with Dell whether or not that could be an issue on the PC. (they would be the authority on shifting bus addresses on your model of PC, if that is what is called for.)

Cd/dvd drive won't burn a disc,although it will read a cd

i have a compaq cq62 with windows 7 home premium with the cd/dvd drive won't burn a disc,although it will read a cd

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Check if the drive will now burn a disc.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it is now able to burn a disc.
Regards,
DP-K

Yosemite won't burn CD

I have a Mac Pro (Early 2009) power house. Since I upgraded to Yosemite (10.10) it now won't burn CDs – instead the program hangs. I load the CD, it recognises it's a blank CD, drag and drop the files, hit burn then nothing! I can't eject CDs in the usual way as it says a program is currently being used. Now that I have removed the CDs I am left with Alias folders that I cannot delete/remove.
My Mac Pro has two drives attached; my internal superdrive and an external Firewire 52x CD-R and it happens to both which eliminates the fact it's a hardware issue.
I bought in my MacBook Pro (Early 2011), also running Yosemite 10.10, and all is well. Burn CDs in the usual way.
Is there a patch?

Ignore Alias folders. They were locked. Unlocked and deleted. (Doh!)

I downloaded a new book and now it won't let me copy it to my nook.

Our computer crashed and we had to go back to factory settings to get it back on. I had to re-install Adobe Digital Editions to borrow books from my library. I downloaded a new book and now it won't let me copy it to my nook. I keep getting "not authorized to copy".

You need to add a valid payment method to the account. An iTunes gift card can be added.
