IPhoto burning error

So I've been trying to burn some photos(& videos) to disc using iPhoto, a few discs burnt sucessfully, but now i get an error and it spits my disc out without burning.
The error message is "The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry."

I just had a computer doing the same thing. The problem for this one ended up being the iPhoto Library. I'm still not sure what file was causing the problem but I did get it to work.
What I did is I moved the iPhoto Library to the desktop and re-launched iPhoto. When it asked what to do about the iPhoto Library I created a new one. Then quit iPhoto.
With the new iPhoto Library (in the pictures folder) right click and select show package contents. Do the same thing with the old iPhoto Library on the desktop so you have two windows showing the contents from each library.
Then copy everything except Attachments, Auto Import, Contents, iLifeShared, Info.plist and iPod Photo Cache from the old iPhoto Library to the new iPhoto Library.
Once I restarted iPhoto the Albums and Projects all came back and I was able to burn CDs and DVDs again.

  • IPhoto burn error

    I have a powerbook G4 with updated iphoto 4. I tried to burn a copy of my photo library onto my sony internal burner but came up with: "sony CD-RW CRY800E drive failed. Unknown error (-2147352542)". I have previously been able to burn copies via iphoto. Why has it done so? It is able to copy the files but fails to burn it. Please help. There is sufficient disk space on the mac & CD. How do i get support for this issue?
    Thanks

    How much "enough space"? If you're burning the images from within iPhoto, then you are creating an iPhoto CD. Such a disk will include supplemental iPhoto files in addition to the jpg images (and thus requiring 20-40% more space than the images require alone).
    Try exporting (or "sharing") the chosen images to a folder on the desktop, then use the Finder to burn the folder to CD.

  • Burn error with iPhoto 4

    I was gonna burn about 2.4G of pics onto a DVD. When I tried i got a burn error, and had to throw away a DVD. I opened toast and when it started it stated that I had duplicates. I clicked so it wouldn't burn the duplicates and it burned normally. How do I find the duplicates and get rid of them?

    Export the photos to a desktop folder, right click on the folder and burn to disk - see if that is any different

  • Dvd burn error--need help with error message

    Ok so I have read all the support articles and many of the discussions already posted...but still can not burn a dvd.
    so, I created a project on idvd, it just has two slideshows that I imported from iphoto. I could not burn the dvd directly from idvd, got the multiplexing/burn error message. I successfully created a disk image and was able to play it on my computer using the dvd player, I then tried to burn it using the disk utility and again got an error message after it started the writing proccess...the error said "The devise failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Does anyone know what this means??? I have lots of room on my hard drive and am using DVD-R sony dvds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • Cannot burn CD-R direct from iPhoto Burn

    Hello. I am having a problem with burning a CD-R direct from iPhoto. This is what occurs:
    I insert a blank disk into the eMac. I select the album I want to burn in iPhoto. I click on the BURN button, bottom right. An error code comes on screen " You have inserted a disc containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read. To continue with the disk inserted,click ignore". I click on ignore. A message comes on indicating it is 'preparing to burn'. After a short period that message disappears and another message comes on screen saying "Burning to the HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-41208 drive" Below that is the horizontal blue barber pole, which is not spinning and below that is "Preparing data for burning". The spinning beach ball is active also. That is all that happens. I have left it on for 15 or 20 minutes and no change so I eventually just Force Quit iPhoto to end the process. I have tried commercial music CD's in the eMac and they play okay. I have put a blank disk in and dragged a test item into it from the desktop and am able to burn that okay. It just appears the iPhoto burn is messed up somehow. A day or two ago I didnt have any problem burning direct from iPhoto.
    The first burning error (shown above) seems to mention 'RW/DVD'but this is a CD-R. Hope someone can give me some info on this. Thanks.
    PS: Since posting this on the eMac forum, I have tried trashing thumbnails 32/64/JPG and com.apple.iphoto.plist. I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions. I have removed iPhoto from the Dock and then put it back in. No change in the above situation. Hope someone can shed more light on this problem. Thank you.

    Hello and Thanks for input Bev and Brie. Yes I have tried Verbatim CD's and same results as with the Sony's I had previously been using. And Brie, I have trashed com.apple.iPhoto.plist (I mentioned that in the latter part of my original post) but no change. It has me baffled and of course unable to backup Albums direct from iPhoto, even though I can still Export to a Desktop Folder and drag to the CD for a Burn. One small thing that may or may not have a bearing on this, is that when I click the Burn 'eye' in iPhoto, at first there is no indication that anything is happening but eventually it opens and the 'eye'starts rotating. If I recall correctly, as soon as you clicked on the eye, it used to go into action immediately. Cheers and thanks again for your ideas.

  • IPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution

    iPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution?

    Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
    Start over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1.  Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    Click to view full size
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    Click to view full size
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.  Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.

  • Disk Utility: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond...

    I've been working on archiving a ton of video to DVD. I'm using Dual-Layer discs to minimize the amount of physical storage space needed for the finished project. I burned several discs in iDVD in July and regularly received errors. Then the drive suddenly stopped loading any type of media. Anything I inserted would spin briefly and then eject. Repaired permissions and followed steps outlined here and here. Took the Mac back to the store where I bought it (sadly, not an Apple Store - nearest one is 12 hrs away) where naturally it performed flawlessly for the store rep.
    So I took it home and resumed burning, now saving as a disc image (ignoring iDVD's warning about the performance of DVDs burned this way) and using Disk Utility, since iDVD didn't seem to be reliable. Burned about 25 discs, error-free, in this fashion, then three days ago, got the error: "Unable to burn “Disc 19.img”. (The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.)"
    Retried the same image, and it worked. Then burned two more in the same fashion with no errors. Today I got the same error again. Logs are identical for each failed burn, except for the time span between certain lines.
    Price of DL media being what it is, I'd hate to keep ruining discs if there's something I can do to avoid it. I suppose it could be bad media, but it seems odd that I'd get two bum discs that close together after burning so many without issue. Checked the site and the forums, and there doesn't seem to be any answers. Does anyone have any ideas? (Other than "try a different brand of media." I've got a buttload of these discs and it's too late to return them now.) Even if it just helps determine where the issue lies. Warranty will be up soon, so if it's hardware related, I need to get it taken care of quick.

    I have encountered the same problem. I have a Mac Book Pro from 2007, and it has gone through 3 DVD writers so far, all of which have ruined DVD+R DL disks. I have occasionally been able to burn one, but usually during verify, I get this error message:
    Communication to the disk drive failed: 0x8002022
    And disk utility fails with a "Invalid B-tree node size" error
    Oddly, when I try to burn a disk near capacity (6.5Gb or more) it is more likely to fail than if I burn a smaller disk.
    I've been using Memorex DVD+R DL disks, but I have used other brands in the past but they have failed, too. Out of about 50 disks so far, I have had success with about 5.

  • Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto."

    Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."  We have not updated or changed anything on the IMac all we did is transfer photos. Any help would be appreciated.

    LarryHN is correct. The only way this message occurs is if the iPhoto Library database is upgraded to a newer version.
    You could try holding SHIFT-OPT-COMMAND when launching iPhoto from the dock and checking only "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" and hope it restores the previous database prior to the upgrade.
    If that doesn't work, you can install iPhoto '11 on your iPhoto '09 computer. If I understood the iPhoto '11 Mac App License agreeement correctly, you can install it on any personal, non-commerical computer you own running 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7.

  • DVD Burn Errors

    I have an older PB15 with a UJ-816 burner, 2x max read and write. In the last 2 years, I've burned about 500 disks with variable results.
    Most of them have been TDK. These usually work fine except that on some spindles I get errors and have to burn at 1X.
    Apple disks always work fine.
    I bought some Memorex 8X disks at Frys ($10/25 disks) and these have been giving me fits.

    I can't remember seeing this collection of errors on other media. What is even odder is that these won't work at 1X at all, I have to try at 2X to get any good results at all. Perhaps 1/3 of the burns fail even at 2X. The last 4 burns in a row have failed.
    I've gone through a bunch of the really cheap Fry's "Great Quality" media with no errors at all.
    Is Memorex known to be a bad brand?
    - gws

    I have heard that 2x speed is somewhat "problematic" than other burn rates... and that you have to buy a media that specificaly mentions burning at 2x (I think in reality it's like 2.4x? and that causes some weirdness), or else sometimes it will not work.
    I read this somewhere. can't rememebr where. Try buying media where the label specifically mentions 2x and see if that helps (usually you'll have to find a media that is rated slower, which is getting harder to find..)
    I use memorex a lot, and it's pretty reliable, at least on my drive, but that doesn't mean much since DVD-RWs are so finicky. (as good as other media I've used. TDK, Fuji, maxell, memorex). the only coasters I've made form memorex are user-induced. I've heard Apple uses Maxell.. you might want to look at their stuff. don't use GQ. I made more coasters using that brand than all others combined.

  • DVD Burning Error: Unknown device error. (0x73, 0x03.)

    I have been trying to burn a home movie using iDVD. I transferred the media successfully to my computer, followed all the steps, and was finally ready to burn the DVD. After waiting almost an hour through the burn process, it spit the DVD back out of my Macbook Pro and gave me the following message.
    *Errors were found during the burning process:*
    *The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error. (0x73, 0x03.)*
    I don't really know what this means. Was the media corrupt? Or is there a problem with my DVD player? I have supplied my DVD and computer information below. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you in advance!

  • CD Burn Errors - No Burn has succeeded!

    I have only started using my three month old iBook for burning CD's this week and discovered that it continually gives a BURN ERROR and spoils the CD-R so that it cannot be burned (on a PC). This happens for all attempts at burning either files from Finder or iTunes with both MP3 and Audio burns - all on well known brand discs. How can this be checked and fixed? I don't see any other problem like this in a quick look on this forum.
    NB - Error code from Console is given as 0x80020022 “The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry” also mentions "Burn Sense: 6/29/00 Unit Attention, Power on, reset or reset bus device occurred".
    Apple Hardware Test from CD supplied gives all OK but this does not test the CD drive which is a Matshita CD-RW CW-8124 Revision D80D.
    Please help!

    Hi - I have followed all the advice above and after cleaning etc tried burning a 450MB set of data files. Same result - CD locks up in spin and after a couple of minutes says an error has occurred. This time it was extremely difficult to get out of lock-up as Finder was totally unresponsive and I had to crash restart with the CD stil spinning. On restart the CD would not eject and was rocking back anbd forwards continually and seeming to lock out any keyboard command. Again after another crash restart and holding the eject button down it did come out just before shutting down. (There's a lot to be said for a PC style eject button!). It gave the same log report under Console as previously reported.
    I have used both Sony and Verbatim CD-R but the only thing to note is that they are 700MB discs. Could this be the problem? Do Matshita have a CD driver update website?
    I am working overseas so how can I get Apple to sort this out? I am tempted to give up and stick with my Sony PC running XP Pro!
    Thanks Ray

  • Burn error message 261

    I too am getting burn error message when I try to burn my playlists to CD since I downloaded iTunes 5.0. I am burning a MP3 CD and there are only 640 MB to be burned to a 700MB CD. I have gone through all of the iTunes suggested solutions. I have contacted Dell (my OEM) and the manufacturer of my CD-R/RW drive (Samsung). I upgraded the latest firmware for my computer and CD Drive. I still get the same message...burn failed for unknown reason...error message 261. It works in Windows Media. What gives? Is there a fix?

  • CD burn error 4000

    I've have burned over 100 CDs with my Dell desktop over the last 3 years, but the other day i got a message 'CD disc unable to burn (error 400)'. I don't know what caused it to suddenly stop working.
    Basically, I selected the play list and told it to burn a CD. I right clicked on Virtual CD icon in the task bar and on my virtual CDR I told it to create a 700MB disc and insert it. iTunes sees it and then it says "checking playlist" and then it as soon as that is done, it briefly says it's starting to burn the cd when it immediately switches to canceling cd burn and then shows a dialog with the following: The attempt to burn the disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4000).
    I am ambivalent about methods of fixing this problem because i am fearful that i will lose my library which has over 3000 songs in it. Is there any safe solution to this problem? I am thankful for any help!

    Have you fixed this problem yet? My machine is doing the same thing.

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

    This happens on certain PC's. I dont know if you care to know the ins and outs of why this sometimes happens, but here is why and how to fix it. an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some folks, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists.
    the thing to do to reclaim your optical drives is located in your registry here:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
    You'll want to have that open, and a mini-window of the following:
    START -> CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> Hardware (tab) -> DEVICE MANAGER -> Offending Drive (with yellow tag by it) Right-Mouse-Click and PROPERTIES -> Driver (tab) -> DRIVER DETAILS
    Notice that list. It references all the drivers that that particular drive is utilizing. There should be a single .DLL (dynamic link library) file and multiple .SYS files. It's the .SYS files we're focusing on, and they should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder stem. If you want to open a new window explorer, and go verify that each of those driver files still exists in that folder stem, you may.
    At this point, compare the Driver File Detail list with the Registry Tree Location you're sitting in, and look at the UpperFilterCheck and LowerFilterCheck key values. Your offending key value will NOT be on your Driver File Detail list!!! It might be as small as "PFC" or something else, but that value is referencing to a driver file that no longer exists. Delete that offending key value. Close the registry.
    Close the Driver File Details and Drive Properties windows. At this point, to finish this up, you need to Soft Uninstall (Right-mouse-click on the drive, and hit "Uninstall" ) the drive(s), let the Device Manager refresh... then hit ACTION -> Scan For Hardware Changes ...
    This should start a new Found New Hardware cycle, and.... poof!... your drives should be back to normal.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Good Luck,
