Is anyone else having trouble burning CDs after installing Snow Leopard?

I received Snow Leopard plus iLife and iWork for Christmas and installed it on Wednesday. I burned two playlists to four CDs on iTunes Tuesday but today when I tried to do the same things using the exact same discs and the following message popped up on iTunes: "Disc burner or software not found." This is obviously happening because of Snow Leopard or the new iLife and iWork I installed. Any thoughts? How can I fix this? Do I need to install something else to be able to burn discs again? I need help really fast because I need these CDs right away. Thanks.

No to the subject question. However, I've only burned boot discs for DiskWarrior and a Snow Leopard install disc, not music ones. Launch System Profiler in Utilities and select Disc Burning under Hardware. On my iMac it reports:
*OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A:*
+Firmware Revision: 1AHN+
+Interconnect: ATAPI+
+Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)+
+Cache: 2048 KB+
+Reads DVD: Yes+
+CD-Write: -R, -RW+
+DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, RW
+Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO+
+Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh+
You should see something similar or your burner's gone south and that's a hardware issue.

  • Anyone else having trouble with Elements after upgrading to Yosemite???

    I recently upgraded my Mac to Yosemite and now my Elements 12 is not working correctly!!!!  Anyone else having this issue or have any answers?

    I would suggest you trash the prefs file so that they get automatically re-built on next launch.
    Quit PSE12
    Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following files:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist

  • Anyone else having trouble w/ airport after today's update?

    Got a message that there was an Airport update today so I downloaded it (unfortunately, I didn't write down what version it was and don't know how to see what I've recently installed). Suddenly an otherwise robust internet connection is plagued with dropouts and slow connections. I get bursts of normal activity followed by bouts of 2-3 minute pauses/timeouts. Airport strength has gone from a consistent "4 bars" to sometimes 3 and the router is only 6 inches away. This has not been a problem until just tonight and I only downloaded and installed the update 4 hours ago so I'm laying the blame diectly at the update's doorstep. I have cycled the power to both the router and modem as well as restarting the Macbook. No luck. Can I somehow rollback the update? Anyone experiencing this issue?

    I think the problem is the Airport Uitlity version 5.21. I installed 5.21 on my Windows XP computer. After installing, I got a nice WiFi connection, but I could not obtain a DHCP lease. If I plugged in with a CAT5 connection, I did get a DHCP lease.
    I un-installed 5.21, re-installed 5.0 from the CD that came with the Aiport Extreme Base Station, then upgraded to 5.1 from the Apple web site. After that, getting a DHCP lease over WiFi worked again.
    I have not tried installing the Airport Utility on my Macbook, since ther are already so many WiFi headaches with the Macbook, I didn't want to add another thing to the mix.

  • Anyone else having problems with Mail after installing Mountain Lion?

    Since upgrading to mountain lion, I have had a number of problems with Mail.  At the moment, it is predominantly when my desktop imac goes to sleep overnight. In the morning, it will not receive mail. The app will not close, so I force quit it.  Trying to reopen Mail after that just does not happen, so I have to restart my machine to get things going again. Any tips?

    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Colors went DARK after installing Snow Leopard

    Anyone else have this problem? I installed Snow Leopard, everything went smoothly except I noticed my background desktop image was extremely dark. Even the UI is darker, except the dock appears whitewashed, as though the brightness on it was cranked up separately from everything else.
    I tried calibrating a new color profile, but it came out looking pretty much exactly the same as it already is.
    I found a workaround, and I copied everything out of my libraries/colorsync/profiles folder from my Time Machine drive, from before I installed SL. It's much closer to normal now, but much of the UI displays color information incorrectly, like in the dock.
    Does anyone know a real way to fix this problem, without having to rig a temporary solution as I did? Or is this just something we have to wait for an update on?
    My monitor is a Dell 3007WFPHC 30" LCD, if that makes any difference. I've also noticed I have NO software screen brightness/contrast controls anywhere. The keys don't do anything, and I have no sliders in the System Prefs, Display area, like many others seem to.
    Thanks in advance if anyone knows anything about this.

    I can't tell you if "No Display Connected" indicates an error or not. I see the same message on all my Macs, but they all have built-in displays. I think the Display Connector info pertains to external or secondary displays only, but I'm not certain about that. Maybe someone with a similar Mac model will chime in here with a better answer for that.
    Is there anything unusual about your setup? Are you maybe using a graphics card not originally shipped with your Mac? Starting up with the 64-bit kernel? Have you installed any graphics drivers besides what came with the OS?
    Also, have you checked your display manual for anything relevant? I've used various monitors with client's Macs & some have settings that switch off automatic detection of resolution changes, sending display info back to the source, or other things of that nature. If nothing else, see if there is a reset procedure or general mode setting command mentioned. In particular, look for any automatic "smart" settings that aren't so smart. I was recently running a redundant pair of identically configured Mini's with identical, out-of-the-box new LG monitors for a client. The two monitors refused to behave the same until I went through all their menus & set everything identically. One would think brand new monitors straight out of factory sealed boxes would be set the same, but they weren't. Go figure.

    There are some patterns of crashes that suggest possible causes and fixes; some users report crashes when FCPX is in the process of loading; others while importing/exporting, etc. Asking to narrow the list of possibilities.
    Suggest starting with three things:
    1) Update the software from the APp Store  if need be.
    2) Trash preferences.
    3) Repair permissions.

  • Anyone else having trouble with Hard Candy Cases?

    I ordered a Hard Candy Case back on 3/22. I subsequently received an e-mail from HCC stating that my case order was changed to the newer 'Kickstand' model. Fine. Just want my case. Now after 60 days of being on the market, I still don't have my case even though HCC debited my Paypal account on 3/22. I can't seem to get a response from them either.
    Anyone else having trouble with HardCandy? I hope I'm an isolated case (sorry!), but I am curious if there is a trend.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    After going away does it come back randomly too? if that is the case, maybe to do with trackpad sensing your gesture correctly?

  • Anyone else having trouble with their iPad disconnecting from wifi since 6.0.1 update

    Anyone else having trouble with their iPad dropping wifi about once a week since 6.0.1 update?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    When is sunlight, absolutely. Not a problem with the Droid Ultra but rather all phones.
    You ever see the commercial about the Nook devices. The have a special screen to reduce glare allowing you to see your screen in sunlight.
    As far as I know, companies have not implemented this on anycell phone.
    There are after market anti-glare screen protectors
    Check Amazon or eBay, they should be relatively inexpensive.
    Good Luck

  • Is anyone else having trouble sending mail?  I have a MobileMe subscription - not sure whether that is the problem.  The Port assigned to my mail account on my iMac has a different number for the one recommended by Apple, but I hesitate to change it.

    Is anyone else having trouble sending mail on an iMac running 10.6.8.  I get a messsage that the server can't be accessed.  Apple help suggests using a different port from the one that was originally set.  I have a Mobile Me account.  Any suggestions?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!
