New (Penryn) MBP instantly ejects DVD -R DL media

I recently bought a 2,4 GHz Penryn MBP with a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-867 (Firmware: HA13) optical drive. Profiler states it CAN burn DVD-Write: -R, >>>>-R DL<<<<, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW media.
However when I insert a brand new FujiFilm -R DL (I tried 3 of them) - the drive spins up then down and then ejects the DVD without any error message whatsoever. I have extensively searched the Forums, however I can not find my specifig problem answered anywhere.
Any ideas?
Thanks in avance,
d00t

i have the same machine, (early 2k8 mbp) and i can burn dvds and cdrs but NOT dvd-dual layers! It craps out usually at the verification process with this message (in console)

I have YET to be able to burn any Dual layer disks at all - at least 9 bricked in a row so far.
So, i called applecare, got the machine sent in to be "fixed". They had it for TEN days, and then returned it to me with a "we couldnt duplicate the problem" message! I then tried to burn a dual layer yet again getting a wonderful coaster... According to the console it doesnt appear they tried using dual layers when they tested.... But anyway, zapping P-RAM, making a new user, the usual stuff didnt fix it. Tried 3 different companies disks too. Does the same in Disk Utility, and Toast. No dually layered love... period.
I havent called back in, because im afraid id be tempted to reach through the phone and strangle and innocent... i think ill try a clean install next, because i cant afford to go another ten days without it.

  • Brand New Penryn MBP w/ Aperture Coming - Delete iPhoto?

    Hello All -
    I have a brand new MBP coming next week. It will be my first Mac in 20 years! My wife has a C2D Macbook and she has convinced me how great they are.
    I ordered Aperture 2 and do a ton of photography. Should I blow away iPhoto so that everything will be nice and clean in a single application? I really dread having pictures referenced in more than one application.
    This is my only chance to do everything right the first time!
    Thanks!
    Tommy

    I still use iPhoto to store screen shots that I use in Keynote for presentations. I also use it to make a family calendar every year. I don't keep my photo library in it, but I can reference my Aperture library right from iPhoto when I want a feature that iPhoto does well, like calendars and cards.

  • Uneven Brightness (new 17" Hi-Res Glossy Penryn MBP)

    Finally got the new Penryn MBP I ordered the day they came out, and it seems to be working fine, but the only "issue" I see is the back light seems uneven. Its only noticeable on a white/light color solid background. Just wondering how common this is. I had to wait almost 3 weeks to get it, so I assume the wait would be just as long or longer to get it fixed. Just a bit of a let down, especially after having to wait 3 weeks for it.

    Obviously, quality control is something Apple feels it can afford to do without, as they are usually quick to replace these defective products at the counter.
    This statement is blatantly false. Granted lemons do slip through the cracks, and sometimes it is impossible to make a system crackproof when dealing with so many products. Just a single 128 MB RAM board has one billion parts. That's as many as the Saturn V Rocket! Apple's sales of notebooks have gone through the roof, and if you do get something in warranty that obviously needs repair, do use the warranty to take care of it.
    Opened a second 2.4 15 Inch Penryn and found the LED on this one had a gradient that darkened on the far right. They
    Disassembling the machine as you have done basically exposes the machine to static electricity and other problems, and frequently is noticeable because of the difficulty of reassembly. I would let the warranty people take care of it, or the store return policy take care of it.
    Apple's quality still is the best in the industry, if you read Consumer Reports.
    So don't let the preponderance of issues reported on this board make you think they all have issues. Quite the contrary many without problems never have reason to report here.

  • New Unibody MBP won't boot from DVD or external drive, just loops

    Hey
    We bought a new Unibody MBP on Monday, and loaned it to our CTO for a presentation. Having got it back from him now I wanted to nuke the installation and put a fresh copy of leopard on it, so I dropped the DVD in the drive, powered down, and booted holding the "C" key.
    I get the chime, screen lights up, thinks for a bit, and if you use your imagination you can almost hear the DVD spin up. Then the screen goes black, lights up, chime, thinks a bit, goes black, lights up, chime and so on
    I've tried booting from an external bootable clone I created with CCC (firewire external HDD), and same symptoms.
    I even tried swapping in a hard drive that I know has a working bootable copy of Leopard on it, and then all I get is the eternal cycle, without pressing any keys on startup.
    I also tried holding down the Option (Alt) key on boot to get the boot device selector. This correctly identifies the various boot devices - the DVD, on-board HDD and external firewire drive (if connected), and lets you select them, tries to boot, thinks, black screen, screen lights up, chime, repeat cycle endlessly until extremely frustrated.
    Is there a known cure for this or am I doomed to take the thing back to the Apple store on Monday?
    Thanks

    That is not the reason it didn't work. Here is the actual clarity:
    *A retail Leopard DVD should be able to boot a new Macbook Pro unibody.*
    So you are saying even if the driver for the controller on which the DVD drive sits is not available in the Leopard DVD you are using because the hardware was not manufactured at the time the Leopard release on the DVD was made, the OS should magically just boot? How is that possible? Unibody MacBook Pros have entirely NEW AHCI chipset - for which there won't be any drivers on the older Leopard DVD and as such the DVD wont be detected once the OS on the DVD loads. In cases where the chipset used is same (as in previous generations of MBP) it will boot.
    The key difference here is that if you used an older version, some new hardware may not be supported - however, the computer *should still boot from the DVD*, which is the subject of this discussion.
    The OP said that his computer boots from the DVD that came with the computer - just not with the old retail Leopard DVD. Also - what should happen if the new hardware happens to be the controller on which the DVD drive is sitting? How will it be able to read the DVD? What about the graphics card? If the drivers on the old leopard disk do not recognize the new graphics card - how is the OS going to display on screen?
    On my way home, I stopped at a Mac store and asked them to test this. They successfully booted a new Macbook Pro unibody from an older Leopard DVD. And this is why Apple is replacing my computer, because it is a hardware issue, not a software one.
    Again - you fail to understand that whether or not the old DVD boots on a new machine all depends on how much hardware has changed and what hardware has changed. It may boot on some generation of machine because the basic chipset and graphics did not change or were handled generically by the drivers on the older DVD but it may totally refuse to boot on new gen machine which has totally different / incompatible hardware.
    So your claim that any old Leopard DVD must continue to boot on any new machine is not really technically explainable.

    (I don't have my (no-longer booting) iBook in front of me to check this, but I think this is what I did last night....)
    Boot single user -- hold down "cmd-S" immediately after you turn the computer on.
    "diskutil list" will give you a list of your disks. My CD drive was disk1.
    "diskutil eject disk" should eject the target disk.

  • USB ports on Penryn MBP

    I have a 250GB WD Passport HD that connects to a single USB port both for data and power.
    It does NOT work on my 2.4GHz Penryn MBP. I tested the drive on other notebooks and it works flawlessly.
    My question is: are the USB ports in current-generation MBPs "underpowered"?
    mac.cardi

    Hi Mac Cardi:
    I just had a different experience. I just replaced my 2.16 Core 2 Duo 15" MacBook Pro with the latest. I have a little 80 gig Lacie (Porsche Design) external drive that needed both USB Ports on my old laptop to spin up.
    The current Penryn MBPro I just got does the job with just the regular single USB cord; it doesn't need the extra one to provide power. By the way, this works with both the right and the reputedly-weak left USB Port.
    It was one of the first things I checked out on this new machine, because I'm an Apple Certified Macintosh Technician and the diagnostics for the newest Macs must be run from a USB drive. They're too big to burn to a DVD.
    So these ports don't seem "underpowered" to me. But maybe your Western Digital Passport needs more current than my little Lacie. YMMV

  • Help - how to Eject DVD/CD in mini?

    Hi all
    I got my new mini last week
    I use it as HTPC only with the apple remote (no keyboard or mouse).
    I need help with - how to eject DVD/CD in mini?
    Thx for the help
    Benzi

    If you press the Menu button of the Apple Remote, a Screen should come up with one of the choices being DVD. Use the Remote's "wheel" to choose DVD and then press the center button. The next window has a choice to Eject the DVD.
    Music CDs work the same way, except substitute the word CD for DVD in the previous paragraph. The Eject option will be the last option at the bottom of the album list.
    Or does this not work for you?
    Please remember that you can only use standard size DVDs and CDs. Don't insert any of the smaller 80mm ones.

  • Permanent had drive noise + slowless on new penryn

    Hello everyone!
    First of all let me excuse for my poor english.
    I have an issue with my new penryn macbook pro.
    Actually the hd never stop working and make noise. When i'm using an application like itunes or safari i have constantly the multicolor ring.
    What should i do. Thanx!

    If it's truly a brand-new machine (meaning you haven't put any software or files on it), it definitely shouldn't be giving you the spinning-beachball-of-death!
    The first thing I would do is open Activity Monitor and look for any process that's consuming the CPU. Make sure you select "all processes" in the drop-down box so that you can see every daemon running. If you find a process that's using a ton of the CPU, come back and post the name of it.
    Secondly, I would open Disk Utility and repair your disk permissions. While you're doing that, check the bottom of the window and look for what it says next to "S.M.A.R.T. Status" when you select your hard disk in the left panel. If it says anything other than "verified" that means your disk is most likely bad or going bad.
    Thirdly, I would create a new user account, switch to that account, and see if the problems persist. If not, something is corrupted or otherwise missing/bad in your original user's library folder. If the problem continues on the new user account, this is not the issue.
    Fourth, since the machine is brand-new and I assume you haven't moved all your data onto it yet, you can insert the restore DVD that came with the computer, restart while holding down the C key, and then reinstall the entire operating system from scratch. Do a completely clean install (do not use archive and install). Let the installer completely wipe your hard disk. See if the problem persists on a completely clean installation of Leopard.
    And finally, if none of the above works, I would take the machine into your local Apple store, explain and demonstrate the problem, tell them about the steps you've taken to fix it, and politely ask for an exchange.

  • Leopard ejects DVDs Region 0 from USB drive that is region specific

    This is against region specification standards. Region 0 is universal region that by spec is supposed to be played in any player in the world.
    I think it is a bug because Leopard cannot handle external/USB DVD players properly. The issue is new and Tiger does not have it.
    After opening case for another DVD movie related issue I am planning to open now whole bunch of them. The choices by Apple engineers are strange and might not follow paper written standards unfortunatelly.
    Sincerely,
    Maciej Samsel

    I have more precise results of recent tests:
    1. USB drive ejects poor (errors by media company producing region 0 DVDs?) region 0 DVD. USB drive is unlocked RPC-2 (still changes of region available). Other DVD region 0 is mounted. It is not systems fault. It is behavior of this particular DVD drive. Same drive tested under Tiger and Leopard.
    2. Same movie and/or region 1 and region 2 movie mounts in another USB drive that is region free (RPC-1), but menu icons blink and clock vanishes. Icons are not accessible so when DVD (only DVD, because music CDs or data DVDs/CDs do not cause that) is mounted on your desktop forget ability to disable/enable wireles network, Blootooth, VPN, use spotlight or go to another account.

  • New mac mini and noisy dvd drive

    Any time I have a DVD in my brand new mac mini, from commercial DVDs to trying to author a blank DVD, I get the dreaded chainsaw sound that plagues anyone who has owned an xbox 360. Has anyone else suffered with this with their new mac mini or should I send it back to apple

    I should have been a little more specific. This happens usually when I try and do slightly disc intensive tasks, such as burn a disc, import a disc to itunes, and I can even get it to sound when I leave a disc in the drive, turn the computer off, and as it's booting it will make the grinding noise. I first thought that the computer couldn't lay on it's side as that's when I first noticed it (sort of like the wii on it's side because this fits my setup), but it makes the same noise whether I have it on it's side or not. This is also not disc specific, I can re-create the noise with different discs, DVDs, CDs when importing to itunes. Guess I'll be taking it to an iTunes store to get it checked out.

  • How do I connect a new Thunderbolt MBP to and old 23" HD Cinema Display ADC port

    A question Im sure many have asked but I cant find a straight forward answer.
    I simply will be buying a new thunderbolt MBP 15 and NEED to connect it an old 23" Apple Cinema Display that uses the old ADC connector.
    Can I do it and if so how? I realise theres a potential under powering issue?
    Thanks

    Hello Sigh
    I am sure there is no way to get your ADC connector display to function with your new Mac Book Pro.
    I tried everying I could and gave up and purchased a 24" Apple refurbbished Cinema Display for $599 + tax on 4/27/2011. The Apple part number is FBXXXXL/A, Model A1287.
    Gave my  year 2002 ADC 22" display to a friend.

    Re: How do I connect a new Thunderbolt MBP to and old 23" HD Cinema Display ADC port Jul 8, 2011 4:58 PM (in response to Russy47)
    Got my new MBP 2011 today. Hooked it up to my 23" Apple Cinema Display fine, using the Apple DVI to ADC converter > Mini Display port adaptors. I could then mirror display, but only at 1440 x 900 resolution.
    My dream is to have it like my old laptop--I mostly leave it shut, and main display is on the Cinema Display. So far, if I close the laptop lid on my new MBP, display shuts off. Also, can't get it to bump up the resolution to 1920.
    Sigh.

    You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
    When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
    You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.

  • Recommended ExpressCards for new 17" MBP for video editing

    Ok, so after sitting on the fence for months I had to buy the new 17" MBP. I just couldn't wait any longer and my trusty PB G4 is getting slow.
    After reading the enormous amounts of posts I can see why people are so upset about losing the ExpressCard slot in the 15" models.
    But, for the 17" models does anyone have any good suggestions of Expresscards? And what is the optimum set-up I should go for?
    I am an Avid and Final Cut editor using a 4-pin Firewire Sony DVCAM deck and two Western Digital External Drives daisy-chained together.
    Would love some advice.
    thanks!

    The Sony DVCAM is FW400 (aka iLink, aka IEEE1394a), so a 4-pin-to-6-pin or -to-9-pin cable will do. I'd get the 4-pin-to-9-pin (FW800 is fully backward compatible with FW400) so you can connect directly to the MBP's FW800 port, if needed. You can just get a FW800 ExpressCard, since it's backward compatible.
    I'd recommend this one:
