Mac Pro DVD writer don't work CD writer does

Any way to troubleshoot a "Windows encountered a problem when trying to copy to this folder. What do you want Windows to do" error when I try and drag and drop files to my DVD/CD readwriter?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I wuld try a different brand. It's possible that you simply got a bad batch of DVD+Rs. My suggestion would be to try Verbatim DVD+Rs and if they fail, call ApleCare to see if you can get a replacement DVD drive.

    ok
    how about the HD DVD Burning .. should i buy HD DVD Burner or the mac pro DVD Writer will solve this problem? and it will burn HD DVD SL-15GB and DL-30GB ?
    You cannot burn a 15 or 30 Gig DVD from DVD SP and it is not supported by DVD SP. You can build those to a hard drive for replication
    also what is the basic steps to creat the HD project in HD DVD not the DVD 5 and compatible with the toshiba player?
    Best Regard.
    You can make a HD DVD on the DVD 5 which will play with the Toshiba and it will give HD quality (and will not play on an SD player) video results, though you cannot author the extras that HD has (the new features in HD as compared to SD DVD), pretty much menus and playback of video. The steps above will create the DVD 5. Have not tried writing to a DVD 9 size for more running time

  • Mac Pro slow write speed on Samsung SSD drive

    Hi,
    I am wondering why I get very slow write speeds on my Samsung SSD 840 Series 250 GB system startup drive in my Mac Pro (early 2008).
    I get an average write speed of approx. 35 MB/s and not much more for top speed. I tested it by transfering a large file (8GB, .m4v) from my Mac Pro internal Raid 0 (4x 2TB Stripe Set) delivering up to 550 MB/s. The read speed of the SSD is around 270 MB/s which I consider to be OK for that I have just the 3 Gb/s internal SATA interfaces in my pretty outdated Mac Pro.
    I don't see any Memory or CPU overruns or consuming system tasks while doing the tests and no other user programs except Activity Monitor is running. The following screen shots from the Activity Monitor should proove my findings:
    Setup:
    Samsung SSD 840 Series 250 GB (SATA 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s compatible) system startup drive. Free Space left on SSD is around 100GB of 250GB.
    Mac Pro (early 2008, Model 3,1), 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
    Samsung sais there should be 540 MB/s for Seq. Read and 250 MB/s for Seq. Write for their SSD drive.
    Any hints what could be done to increase especially that low write speed of around 35 MB/s (average) on the SSD in my Mac Pro?

    Really great 'The hatter' !!!
    Thanks a lot for your exceptional support.
    Next to my 4x discs in the 4 SATA II drive bays I have installed a additional OWC drive kit that allows me to have another 2 disks sitting in the empty bay below the CD/DVD drive and those are connected to the motherboard. So there is a lot to handle for that controller you mentionned ;-)
    I will follow your guidance and boot from my 'maintenance' system on direct attached external drive, install the TRIM Enabler there as well and do the DU repair run. I always have a separate system available that gives me the chance to boot my Mac from there. And in addition I regularly use ONYX to keep my OS X clean and do the maintenance.
    Anyway, you're the man of the day!
    PS; I am looking forward to finally receive my new Mac Pro (late 2013) ordered on the 18th of December one of these days and then I hope that I can fly ;-)

    I can't find any drivers of Quadro FX 560 for MAC OS, and I am using MAC OS 10.4.7.

    You will need to firstly check whether it is compatible with your Mac and operating system, and then get the required software from the manufacturers of the Quadro.

  • HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

    I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

    When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
    There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
    The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.

    Depends upon the OSX version you have.. You need 10.8.3 or later for a non- Mac flashed card. For more detail:

  • Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does...

    Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does... What's going wrong here?
    Details: OS X Yosemite 10.10
    Apple TV 3rd generation, version 7.0
    Switching Airplay on on Mac Mini works. It goes automatically on extended display mode. Switching to mirroring works for about 1 sec and then it switches back to extended display mode. On my tv screen i see my second desktop. Funny detail: it has the desktop background i used previously. Another funny detail: I had exactly the same problem when i used the previous versions of OS X and the Apple TV software...
    Who can help, please!

    I also have been having problems with Airplay on my 2014 Mac Mini see Mac Mini 2014 Airplay Display Disconnect Bug?
    I"ve also noticed that my Apple TV (3rd Gen) does not appear in the iTunes Airplay list on my Mac Mini whereas it does on my MacBook.
    I've booked a call with Apple Support for next Sunday to discuss the issue.
    If I get any useful info I will pass it on.

  • I just downloaded Yosemite OS for mac and Premier pro play buttons don't work in the Program, Source and timeline and no audio HELP?

    Yosemite OS seem so not allow me to use premier pro. Specifically the play buttons don't work in the source, program and Timeline. Any one have this problem?

    Hey,
    I´ve got the same problem, that since i upgrade to Yosemite, my R3D Video Files are not longer supported, sometimes it works but most of time it says "not supported File format".. Hope Adobe will fix it.
    Play button works. Try installing the latest Java 8 update. This might fix some problems.

  • Mac Pro DVD drive won't load some software discs

    I just bought two sets of Photoshop Elements, and my 2007 Mac Pro failed to recognize all six DVDs. I'm realizing I've had this problem with a few software discs in recent years, including some Final Cut Studio install discs. CDs and regular DVDs work fine - just some software DVDs are eventually ejected by the computer without showing up on the desktop. I have tried cleaning the drive with a disc cleaner.
    My way around it has been to put these discs in my PC, make a copy, and then these copies load fine in my Mac. But it's a nuisance, and my PC won't be around forever.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem might be? Or a decent external drive (Blu-ray?) that I might want to replace it with?
    Thanks.

    I'll try that tomorrow. Thinking it could also be:
    1)  The PRAMM battery. found info on that they can wear out close to 5 years. This MAC PRO is close to that now.  And I use a lot of power on it.
    2) MAC PRO is plugged into a  SURGE PROTECTOR, instead of right into the wall outlet.
    3) Been doing a lot of FORCE QUITS and HARD BOOT -- unplugging it directly when it wouldn't shut down soon enough --  lately this past year.
    I just assumed that this MAC PRO with the XEON QUAD CORE etc., was a heavy duty enough NLE,
    that i wouldn't have these problems. It's not fully loaded with all the chips it can carry...and I don't have near enough external terabyte hard drives for storing video and audio files to edit. I've been storing wayyy too much
    on the internal hard dives and just have to stop that.
    I noticed these past few days that much of the LETTERING for hard drive icons and folders' titles
    were starting to look in OVERLAPPING of the lettering. That was my first hint that  something was up.

  • Mac Pro DVD drive door sticking problems...

    Hi all...
    The aluminum drive door on one of my Mac Pro's 2 DVD drives sticks in the open ("down") position about 9 times out of 10 when in use. It has done this since I received it from Apple. Not a functional issue at all, so I didn't even think about sending it back at the time of arrival, thinking it might be just a bit stiff and "new"...
    Now, over time, it has begun to get more annoying. I have tried everything in order to get it to work, sometimes seeming to have it fixed, but it ALWAYS returns to the "original state" of "stickiness"!!! Again, not a huge problem, but I'd like to get it seen about and figure out how to fix it once and for all. Anyone else having the same problem? I cannot take my Mac out of service, and this seems like such a simple thing...

    Another poster fixed theirs by doing this…

  • Does the Mac pro DVD player play Blu-ray discs?

    I suspect the answer is no, because the only DVD's that don't work in my player are blu-ray. But if someone can confirm this for me that would be great. If I need to download software to make my DVD player Blu-ray please direct me to the right site.
    S. Walker

    You can use a third-party BD drive to read and write data discs. However, there is no built-in software to play video BD's, even if you have a drive that can read them. I don't know whether there is now any third-party software that can play those discs; the last time I remember checking, there was not. It's technically (but not legally) possible to convert BD's to a format that can play natively on the Mac, but that subject can't be discussed within the terms of use of this site.
    The copy protection on BD's won't allow them to be played at full resolution on an external display without end-to-end hardware copy protection (HDCP) in the graphics subsystem.

  • Mac Pro DVD Burner

    I am looking for a recommendation on which DVD Burner I should get to replace the one I got in my new Mac Pro. For some unknown reason I can't get a disc to burn that is viewable in my DVD player. My old G4 worked great!
    I don't know if it is because I am using an older version of Toast (Toast 6.0) or if it is the DVD burner in my new computer. Any advice would be great as to next steps to resolve this issue.
    Thanks!!!

    I would suggest that you try burning a DVD with iDVD before you spend a lot of time looking for alternative drives. It could well be Toast, as Toast 6 is indeed quite old (as software goes) and may not be compatible with your Intel-based Mac. If iDVD successfully burns a video DVD, then you will know it's a problem with Toast. If iDVD also fails (use DVD-R disks for best compatibility with standalone players), then Apple should replace the drive under warranty.

  • Multiple Burn on Mac Pro/DVD Studio Pro

    I have been searching the internet and this forum. I have added a second optical drive to my Mac Pro. It is a Pioneer DVR-1810. Am I able to burn to DVD's at once in DVD STUDIO PRO?

    No, you cannot burn more than one at a time within DVDSP.
    But you can burn two at a time with Disk Utility. To do this, change the burner name in the DVDSP format dialog to "hard disk". It will then allow you to burn to a disk image on the hard drive. Then open up that disk image in Disk Utility. When you click Burn in Disk Utility, there is a popup menu in the dialog for which burner to use. After starting the first burn you can start a 2nd one and choose the 2nd burner in the popup list.
    This works well for single layer DVDs. I haven't tried it with DL DVDs so I don't know what will happen with the dual layer break point.

  • Mac Pro DVD drive flaky

    My Mac Pro 2006 DVD (Sony D-150A) drive is being flaky--it will read replicated CDs & DVDs, read and burn CDRs, but not DVDRs of any kind--video, data, + or - media. I can record DVD data/media, it just won't play back. Anyone else experience this particular issue? Wondering if a lens cleaning disc will do the trick, or if I should just can it. Seems that ATAPI drives are becoming difficult to find--anyone know if a generic drive will work, or do I have to invest in a "Mac" only drive?
    Any suggestions will be appreciated!

    Cleaner discs are so cheap, it is definitely worth a shot.
    If no joy, look at OWC/macsales for a reasonably priced IDE/ATA drive that works in your Mac.
