IMac CD burner erratic, burn some, error on others

When burning CDs and DVDs sometimes it works, sometimes it errors out during verification. The disc brand is the same every time. Any suggestions on what is happening? Hardware? Software? Just got the computer this past fall and it has an Intel Core i5 processor.
Thanks.

The Superdrives are known to be finicky; they do like quality media: for instance, mine only likes Verbatim.
So, first try a small package of a different brand. Then, set your burn speed at the slowest or next to slowest available - that is usually also the problem with errors. And, these drives need to cool down between burns: burn two at most (in a row), give it 15 minutes to cool down before burning another.

  • Cannot burn a DVD without errors!! Plays fine in IMovie and Quicktime.

    Have been using IMovie for almost a year and really regretting getting an IMac, as I am having so many issues with it. Initially, I thought the issue was with IMovie (although when I finish a movie it plays just fine on the computer). Then I thought the issue was with the Quick Time export (although when I finish the export and play from the Quick Time file, it perfect).
    Then, I burn the DVD, using IDVD. I think this is the issue! Specifically, when I play the new DVD, the following occurs:
    1. Some (not all) music tracks are distorted or sound like there are two tracks playing over each other;
    2. Some (not all) music tracks don't play;
    3. The sound levels of the music is erratic and increases in volume significantly;
    4. The DVD (normally towards the end) starts pausing and usually takes me back to the beginning.
    I have now made a number of DVDs, some longer than others, some shorter, but all seem to have these issues.
    As stated above. The movie plays fine in the IMovie file on full screen view AND in the Quick Time viewer file. It is when the DVD is burnt that all these errors occur.
    I have tried changing the settings in IDVD. Even tried the professional quality.
    Can some one please help in a relatively non technical way? I am really ready to throw away the IMac and go back to Showtime on windows, which was far easier to use. Please help?

    Not sure how to check how much memory?
    Click on the icon for your hard drive. Then go to File>Get info; this will bring up a window that will show you what the capacity is for your hard drive as well as the amount of available space. It is this available amount that you need to check.
    The source of the music is ITunes. I think they are MP3, not sure, but they are MP3 compatible.
    It is possible that this could be the origin to your difficulty; it has been in the past. Convert the format of your music to AIFF. Here are the directions from iTunes Help:
    +_Saving a copy of a song in a new file format_+
    +You can convert a song to a different file format (and keep a copy of the original). For example, you can save a copy of a compressed song file such as MP3 or AAC in an uncompressed song format (AIFF or WAV).+
    +When converting from a compressed to uncompressed file format (for example, from MP3 to AIFF), you shouldn't notice any reduction in sound quality. However, when converting between compressed formats (for example, MP3 and AAC), you may notice a reduction in the sound quality. For the best results, if you want your music encoded in a different file format, import the music again from the original source using the new encoding format.+
    +IMPORTANT: Except for iTunes Plus songs, you can’t convert iTunes Store purchases.+
    +To convert a song's file format:+
    +Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and then click Importing.+
    +In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and then click OK to save the settings.+
    +Select one or more songs in your library, Option-click, and choose “Convert Selection to.”+
    +The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.+
    If your music was purchased from iTunes and is not iTunes plus, post back for directions on how to change the format.
    What brand of DVD are you using and what speed are you using for the burn?
    The very knowledgeable users on this forum recommend Maxell or Verbatim. Also, be sure to burn at 4x or lower. This tends to reduce the likelihood of errors during the burn process. As an added step, close your other applications during the burn process.

  • IMac reboots itself when burning a DVD

    I'm trying to burn DVDs on my older G5 iMac. The iMac is waaaay out of applecare range, and I replaced the HD myself when it died this year.
    The drive is VERY picky about disks. It is always spitting them back out at me and telling me they're not blank. I figured out that it likes Sony -R DVDs the best, but it still takes a couple tries to get a disc in there and usable.
    It doesn't seem to matter what program I use, or what video file I try to burn. I've tried Toast 8 and iDVD. The programs go through encoding, and multiplexing, and then when the burning starts, the iMac just restarts. No error messages.
    I HAVE successfully burned a couple DVDs with Toast since swapping out the hard drive. So I know that the burner works at least some of the time.
    Trouble shooting I've tried: Resetting the PRAM, repairing permissions, updating all software, resetting the PMU/SMU.
    I have about 30 free gigs of space free, so I don't think it is a space issue.
    What else can I do? As a last resort I could get an external burner, I guess.

    Since I seldom use Console, if that does allow access to log files, I am not sure.
    The utility, Console, does have its own Help file in the menu bar and the window
    in Console allows access to several different kinds of log files system wide, I see.
    The System Profiler does list some system and other log files, they are cryptic
    in what they say or how they say whatever they mean. There should be a few
    clues among the code-like ramblings and those may prove helpful.
    In such tools such as OnyX (Titanium Software) there are ways of looking into
    various system and other logs; not sure how that works. I use OnyX on occasion
    to run most of the stuff found in the Automation selection, few of the other options.
    Does the included Apple Hardware Test give any clues about the status of hardware?
    That has been known to miss some details according to users who've tested their stuff.
    A pro tech probably has more extensive testing and repair tools at his/her disposal.
    Some models of iMac G5 may have some problems with Leopard 10.5.x, since a few
    had graphics processors that did not do so well once upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
    A few others may have had different issues; some went back to Tiger 10.4.11 from 10.5.
    Sorry to not be of much help in this.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • DVD Burn problem. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use"

    Hello everyone,
    I initially had a lot of problems with PE8. However the nVidia driver update solved most of them.
    Just thought it was important to report success as well as failure!
    However one problem remains. I get the following error at the 96% mark while burning. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use". It is always at the 96% mark and the program is "compiling [something]" when this happens.
    Having searched this site I notice that user rgferg posted a similar problem 13 days ago but was redirected to repost in a different place, but never did.
    I have tried to burn a 1hr clip 4 times and every time I have selected the slower burn speed (8MB/s) as has been suggested. It seems that inferior media is a culprit, so I have bought some [quality] Verbatim DVD-R media to try in my Phillips SATA optical drive. I am sceptical this will work, but open minded nonetheless. I will give it a whirl when my computer has stopped capturing the VHS I am working on.
    Each time the burn failed the disk was automatically ejected and the burn process had actually started and progressed perhaps ~40% or so.
    This indicates to me that it is a drive sharing issue, rather than a media issue. Somewhere on this forum it suggests that I go through a 20+ step process and delete/disable every piece of software that can compete with Premiere among other things. IF I do this what do I burn with outside of Adobe? Do I have to get imgburn or whatever it was called? What if I like Nero? Nero 6 has worked great for me for 3 years.
    So given I am willing to uninstall my old optical drive burning software, who out there can recommened commercial software that for them creates a painless Adobe burning experience with no errors or conflicts? Perhaps there is another solution that I did not see on this forum?
    I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my SLI GeForce 7600 GS cards. I have 3 monitors. RAID 0 SATA, 2GB RAM, Athlon X2 5400.
    Justin.

    OK been working through the list of 20 things Adobe recommends to fix DVD burn error. No luck yet:
    system meets minimum requirements
    Project size does not exceed disk capacity
    successfully burned project to DVD folder -thus skip to step 8.
      8.   Using new blank media for burning
      9.   Try different media and DVD burners. Bought Verbatim DVD-R. Don't have another DVD burner. Adobe's supported burner list is VERY short, so of course mine is not on it.
      10.  Uninstalled Nero 6. Did NOT uninstall Acronis True Image workstation or Lightscribe. These do not access the drive unless I say so!
      11.  Have not yet disabled startup items and services. This will take a lot of work and will leave to last. Deactivated Spybot thus far.....
      12.  Disabled IMAPI CD burning COM
      13.  DMA if available already set. Haven't set this in BIOS yet. I already think it is, but will check next boot.
      14.  Updated DVD firmware
      15.  Already updated nVidia drivers
      16.  Don't have any other DVD drives to disconnect.
      17.  MPEG workaround. Will resort to if required.
      18.  Disable Autoplay? XP only has "prompt me each time to choose an action". I have set this for ALL file types.
      19.  Have NOT refreshed the DVD drivers in the registry. This step involves uninstalling PE8. Will leave this as last resort.
      20.  Visit forums to see if other have the same problem. Hi guys
    So still working through some of the items above.
    Can anyone direct me to advice on how to write the encoded files sent to the hard drive, or the VOB files that PE8 failed to burn to a disk? Will the former work with DVD menus?
    What a process.
    Stay tuned.
    Justin.

  • When burning a dvd an error message comes up before the burning even begins

    That is of course, if I can get the comp to read the DVD first.

    Let me see if I can help out.
    Just because your drive says it is capable of 8X doesn't mean it will burn at 8X.
    Depending on what you are using to try to burn with in the way of software, I suggest you burn at a slower Speed. like 2X. Apples Software is entry level and it works but many users find harder to use than the top of the line in burning software like Roxio's Toast 7.
    Here is the explination on the different DVD's.
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
    Just bear one thing in mind.
    When it comes to DVD Players, Formats, and Burners, of the hundreds of different manufactures, All are opting to be the Industry Standard, and it appears they insert there little chinks that almost force users to use there products exclusively.
    There is always a backlash from these marketing ploys.
    In a perfect world you would think any DVD would work in any DVD Player and Computer but sorry it is not so there are so many things that come into play. Format, Speed, Brand, Software used. Any one or combination can affect the process.
    The problem is multi-dimensional.
    First check in your particular profiler on EXACTLY what type(FORMAT) of DISK's your burner will burn.
    Next please do not just randomly go out and buy a spool of 30 50 or 100 disc's because they are on sale.
    There is a HUGE difference in the type format disc's you buy
    There is also a HUGE difference in the BRAND you choose, some are junk.
    There is also a HUGE Difference in the SPEED of the media you choose.
    If any one or a combination of any of the 3 mentioned above can cause burn error's or no burn at all or spit the disk out.
    So it is a good idea to do a little homework on your Optical Drive and see just exactly what it is capable of and what it will use for media.
    (ONE LAST NOTE)
    Many of the Media Manufactures are becomming aware that many of the Apple Burners are having trouble with there Media. Maxell has just come out with a brand new one that is. Maxell 16X DVD-R.
    The key is read the packaging. this new media tells you that it will burn at any speed from 1X through 16X, and it works very well on the older Optical Drives. I also opt to use the individual that include the cases there seems to be much better quality, not like that of the spools.
    Remember Apples Drives to date are much pickier than those used in the PC community.
    Cheers Don

  • The disc can't be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).

    Hello - I am receiving this error code on all my Apple computers (iMac and MacBook) which have the most current Mac OS X 10.6.7. I'm a photographer and burn CDs frequently and out of the blue began having issues two days ago:
    The disc can’t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).
    What is the remedy? Is it related to a recent update or will there be an update to fix? Since it's not simply one computer, gathering it's not the burn drive but software related...
    FYI - Yes I've tried other brands of disk, etc. however, this is a part of my daily work-flow and have had no issues till a couple days ago.
    Thank you all and any for your time in assisting!!

    Same here. I bought a macbook pro in march. Now I got this error. And I'm from Brazil... Not speak english very well, but tried to explain what happens with my new macbook (that can't burn DVD)...
    Please, could you help me?
    thanks

  • Error Code: "The disc can't be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006E).

    I cannot burn items to a disc and get the following error code;  "The disc can’t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006E)."
    I appreciate any help in trying to figure this out.

    "I also use the application "Clean My Mac" at least ounce a month to rid it of all unwanted or unneeded files, which also is supposed to keep my Mac running at optimum speed, just as a by-the-way."
    There is your problem right there!!!
    CleanMyMac is complete and total paid ""garbageware"!!!!
    You may have irreparably damaged/corrupted and/or deleted important/needed system and  OS X operational files using CleanMyMac.
    You can try and use this uninstaller to completely uninstall CleanMyMac, but the damage to your system may have already happened and has been done
    since you readily admit to using this garbageware regularly on your Mac.
    Here is the proper way to uninstall both CleanMyMac and CleanMyMac2.
    http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac-classic/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-clea nmymac-classic
    http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-2
    Make sure which version of CleanMyMac you are using and pick the correct uninstaller.
    Do you run any other so-called hard drive "maintenance" or "cleaning" apps or any type of commercial antivirus softwares?
    If you do, you need to search the web to find out how to correctly and properly uninstall these types of apps.
    You now may need to get yourself another external hard drive, purchase and use a data cloning app, such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to create a exact bootable clone of your Mac's internal hard drive to a new external hard drive.
    Then erase and reformat your boot drive and do a complete, clean reinstall of you OS X system, system and security updates as well as  a complete reinstall of all of your applications and updates.
    Let this be a very important lesson to you!
    Apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
    Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary OR needed. They really aren't.
    There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac. Their potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
    These types of  system 'cleaning" apps are very poorly written and are really a scam to rob newbie and novice Mac users of their hard earned cash for a poorly written maintenance program that will do much more harm to a perfectly normal running OS X system than the good that the app developers purport these types of apps will do.
    Plus, the software companies that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
    It is best to never, EVER download and install these types of apps.
    The risk to your system and important data is too great a risk!
    Here is a proper and manual methodology to "cleaning" data off of your Mac.
    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you are an iMovie user, iMovie has its own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/more
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Moving iTunes library

  • Intel iMac 17'' Matshita DVD Burning extremely slow!

    It seems i'm not the only one complaining about this problem:
    I just bought a new iMac Intel 17'', just to discover it would only burn at speed 2x, instead of 8x as advertised. Yes, I have read all the advice about picking good media. The media I'm using is perfectly functional, and there's no reason why a drive wouldn't write on it at the right speed, unless the drive was of really bad quality.
    How can it be that we buy such expensive computers, and are given the cheapest DVD Burners Apple could lay their hands on?!

    I recently discovered that the Memorex DVD-R 8X media I've been using for months would only burn at 2X speed. I too was upset by this. I think my old G4 iMac was doing 4X burns. So I went looking for answers and kept coming across consistent suggestions of "try different media." I recently ran out of the Memorex media so I looked closer and followed this link <http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm> and found Memorex poorly rated. I bought TDK DVD-R 16X media today (for 25% less than I paid last time for Memorex) and my iMac is cooking away happily at 8X burn speed now.
    My suspicion is that there is a great deal of empirical data to support lower burn speeds for some media in order to reduce the number of "coasters." After all, I want a reliable burn first and speed second. I bet the firmware in many drives looks at the media ID of a disk and throttles the speed to achieve the primary goal at the expense of the secondary.
    BTW, the way to check media ID for yourself is to open a terminal window and enter "drutil status" with a disc inserted.

  • Burning CD-R Verification Error

    Hi,
    I'm trying to burn a simple 5 track EP to a cd-r which includes ISRC data in Adobe Audition CC.
    To do this I've added the audio tracks (.Wavs) to a new CD Layout where I've included the relevent meta-data. I then update the CD Text details in the Properties panel and insert my blank disc so it's ready to burn.
    The issue I'm having is that although Audition recognises my blank disc, allows me to start the burn process and seemingly even burns the audio to the disc,  the disc verification fails every time it is about to start.
    My disc is left with visible data on it (when ejected and to the naked eye) but the computer still sees it as blank. I'm not able to erase the disk within apples 'Disk utilities' service either.
    I've gone through 10 disks, trying each combination from changing speed settings, write modes and selecting/deselecting the verify CD and Eject CD checkboxes.
    The only combination that has partly worked is if I deselect both Verify and Eject disc. The disc burns fully, it 'Completes Disc' at the end of the process and show the tracks in iTunes, only with incorrect CD and Track data.... I don't know who 'Tanisha Ward' is but it certainly isn't my CD data.
    This however is irrelevant as when I eject the disc and then insert it again to test that it reads it appears blank again.
    My macs internal burner works fine with iTunes and other apps I have. The reason I am using Audition is due to it's ability to add ISRC data.
    Am I missing some important element to this process? Should I be doing something else?
    My Computer Details are as follows:
    iMac 27inch
    2.7 GHz Core i5
    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    SuperDrive - HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA32N KE06
    If someone can help me that would be great.

    Thanks Dave,
    I'll take a look at whether my drive supports writing the codes and check to see if there is an update too.
    In regards to missing tags, do you mean adding track, artist and album titles to the disc? I did this manually in Audition assuming it would render the data directly to the disc.
    Or do you mean that the ISRC would pull the CD data in usually but as it's not been copied to the disc it is essentially missing therefore I'm getting random track suggestions?
    If this fails I'll be making a trip to the store today.
    Would you recommend Plextor for my system?
    Apologies for dumbness. I'm new, clearly :/
    Thanks so much for your help

  • I have Windows 7. When I try to print an album cover on a CD I burned, I get an error message that  there is a problem and it shuts down iTunes and says will notify me once the problem is fixed

    NVIDIA Graphics Driver has stopped working properly.
    A driver update, if available, might prevent this problem from recurring.

    Try a different media. I have good luck using Maxell discs.

  • Itunes wont burn my CD disc error 4280?

    I have a toshiba satellite computer running windows 7 and itunes 11. It wont let me burn my playlist to a disk. Im using memorex CD-R blank cd. I have tried every disc write speed and nothing worked and ran diagnostics everything checks out. Can someone help me?

    I tried the same thing on an HP Touchsmart, using Windows 7.  I highlight songs in my iTunes music library and create a new playlist.  I right-click on the playlist and start the burning process.  I am prompted to put a blank disc in the drive, which I do.  Then I have two more prompts, which ask me about the format of the content I wish to create.  Once that's done, the burning starts.
    It seems that for every playlist I burn, I ruin one disc.  It seems that either at the beginning or at the end of the burning process that an error occurs and burning is cancelled.  This is very frustrating. 
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • Turning off "Ken Burns" effect for SOME photos

    I see that someone has asked a similar question in the past and told that it's not possible to turn off the Ken Burns effect for some photos, but I'm hoping someone has a workaround or there's a hack...
    I've made a slideshow and got the idea to "tell the story" by creating some "title" images in Photoshop elements which I've placed in between a series of photos.
    These are just black backgrounds with the title (e.g. "...and the party begins", "Family reunion" etc.) in big white letters. I'm very happy with that idea
    I like the Ken Burns effect for the slideshow as it adds some semi-video "action" effect, but NOT on the titles. Having the Ken Burns effect there just looks stupid, so I would like to remove it for the titles alone.
    I know I can do it the other way round (go to "Settings" for the Slideshow, deselect "Automatic Ken Burns effect", then manually add the effect for all the photos I want), but with a slideshow album that's going to take ages to do!!
    Is there a better way?

    Perhaps you're checking the KB button on the "main" menu for the slideshow. That actually changes only the setting for the image that is currently selected. Try using the "Settings" button and deselect the "Automatic KB effect."

  • IMac will not release burned CD

    I burned several CDs consecutively in my iMac. When I burned the last one, it would not release it. The CD icon no longer shows up on screen. The eject button will not work. How can get it out?

    Were you able to restart the computer, and hold the mouse down while it starts?
    That is the most common way to try and get a media or system disc to eject if
    the other expected way fails to produce results.
    Another may be to be sure user permissions are corrected (disk utility> repair
    disk permissions) and other basic maintenance is done on a preventative basis;
    another idea may be to attempt random voodoo effects on startup, though I do
    not know if things - such as resetting the PRAM on startup - could help in this.
    If the optical drive has failed, that is another matter. And if nothing else you
