Error message "disk is locked" when inserting blank DVD

My G4 is supposed to be able to burn a DVD, but when I insert the sample DVD that came with the computer when it was new, I keep getting the "disk is locked" message. It also happens with other DVD's that I bought specifically to use with the G4. I would appreciate your suggestions.

Any optical drive software that is worth its salt should enable burning of data discs (4.7GB or 8.5GB in the case of DVDs) as well as of specialized file formats. That said, however, one of the commonest reasons for failure to burn, even failure to recognize an optical drive, is extension conflict. This was especially true of Roxio's Toast v5.x, when using which it was necessary to disable all Apple extensions, USB and FireWire, so that control of the drive could be taken by Toast extensions. I had to do this only recently to get a friend's LaCie DVD-R burner to be recognized as a DVD (rather than CD) burner by a B&W under OS 9.2.2, let alone to burn DVDs. That possibility was the reason for asking about your software. However, if you are using only Apple software, there should be no issue of software conflicts of this nature.
Without wishing or intending to fob you off, I suggest that you will get much more up-to-the-moment guidance from active fellow-sufferers than is likely in this antediluvian category if you approach them in the iDVD specialist forums, which are divided into iDVD 6, 5, and 4 and under.

How to get LR4 to open when inserting an SD card (MAC 10.8.2)

I had LR3 opening when I inserted an SD card but when I installed LR4.4 it broke that and now I can't get LR4 to open when inserting a card. Still fairly new to MAC's so would appreciate any help.

First:
Go to Preferences>General Tab and check Show import dialog when a memory card is detected.
Second:
Open Image Capture on your Mac (search for it in Spotlight)
Insert your Card.
Click on the card in the LH Pane.
At the bottom of the Pane, set the default program to be Lightroom 4
Close.
It should work now.

Cleaning laser lens of your DVD drive with DVD drive cleaner and see if it works.
if it doesn't, make a Genius Bar appointment to show them about your problem.

Indesign CS5 crashing when inserting blank pages

I wonder if anyone else is having this following problem with Indesign CS5?
The program frequently crashes when inserting blank pages, especially several. I've noticed that this problem has something to do with amount of colums in the masterpage.
Recently I had this problem when layouting a book with 9 colums per page. After converting them to guides the problem dissapeared. When using multiple column masterpages it's usually ok to insert 2 new pages a time. More than this the program crashes.
Do I have to install the program again?

Have you patched to 7.0.4?

DVD player hangs when I insert blank DVD

When I insert a DVD into my Mac Pro, the DVD recorder/player stops working!! I have to reboot my machine and it starts working OK. This is happening more and more often. Any Idea why and how to solve the problem?

I have a 2 month old iMac and yesterday it stopped accepting DVD/CDs. Don't know if that's what you meant by "hangs". If I restart my computer, the DVD/CD will work and I can insert/eject normally. I have a trouble call into Apple. They're supposed to call me in a couple hours. I'll let you know what happens.

Good info Bill, see if this cures it...
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Occasionally a PRAM Reaset is needed...
PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

IDVD doesnt regonise my blank DVD's

Hi,
After I created my DVD, I put in a blank DVD and iDVD doesnt recognise it. It tells me to put in a recordeable disk. I've tried with a lot of new blank DVD's and same message. When iDVD is closed and I insert the blank disk, nothing happens. After a while the disk comes out without any message.
iDVD worked properly already several times. This problem is recent. I bought a new DVD to check if it was the DVD, but same problem.
No problem to burn CD's with iTunes.
Can somebody help me??
Thanks

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.

Disk Utility doesn't refresh when inserting new DVDs

I'm in the process of copying a few DVDs by making an image of them first and then burning the image onto a blank DVD through Disk Utility.
After I'm done with one and insert a new DVD to copy, Disk Utility doesn't refresh to show me the new disk is in the drive. Is it normal?
If it is, is there something I can press so that Disk Utility manually refresh its listing of drives?
I find that quitting and restarting Disk Utility just to make a new image is so inefficient.

I am suddenly having the same problem. When I insert a blank disc either cd or dvd it does not show up in the left column in disc utility. I have tried closing and then relaunching disc utility but nothing. The disc shows up on my desk top but not in disc utility. I fear this is a Snow Leopard problem. Toast has no problem recognizing the disc and burning to it.

How to I stop thie auto opening?

In the preferences general Tab make sure you do not have "show import dialog when a memory card is detected" selected.

Screen animation sequence when inserting CD/DVD ?

Hi,
I can't remember where (and even if) I saw that before...
When inserting/ejecting a disc a graphic of a CD in original size would appear on screen. Might that just been a demo effect or does this really work. Can't seem to find anything to do this on my new iMac.
Thanks !

The only image I know of is associated with ejecting a disk. For a couple of seconds a large semitransparent Eject symbol appears onscreen.

I don't want iTunes to open when inserting a new blank CD

I have a Commercial Recording Studio and do not want iTunes to open every time I insert a new blank CD. Can anyone tell me where I can find a preference to shut this off? Thanks

Open the CDs & DVDs pane of System Preferences and change the setting.

Insert blank DVD, no dialogue box appears

When I insert a blank CD or DVD the drive spins up but no dialogue box appears. Changing the answers in the CD & DVD window in prefernces has no effect. No matter which option is choosen, no dialogue box appears. No disk image appears. This is only a problem with the finder. iDVD recognizes and burns DVDs. The same DVD's work fine in another iMac running OS X 10.6.8 so the disk are ok.
I am using a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM. 21.5 inch iMac running OS X 10.9.2.

Hey AeroCat, I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure what you're looking for. When you say dialogue box, are you looking for something to actually open and launch on your screen, or are you missing a way to browse to it? You say that it's only a problem in Finder, does that mean that you're not getting an option on your sidebar?
Given the limited info I have, I would do the following if it was an issue with the disk not appearing in Finder/on the desktop:
Restart the system
Open Finder, click preferences, if you want an icon to appear on your desktop, under the general tab, make sure "CDs, DVDs, and iPods" is checked. Now, click on the "Sidebar" tab. Under the "Devices" section, make sure that "CDs, DVDs, and iPods" has a check mark.
If it's not launching something:
It's possible the disk you're using doesn't have an autorun. Most data disks won't auto-launch anything but instead, work like a flashdrive.

How do I stop thumbnails from opening when inserting pdf in Acrobat XI.

Operating system is Windows 7. I just upgraded from Acrobat X. When I inserted a pdf into another pdf it was done. In Acrobat XI when I insert the thumbnails column opens up and I have to click on it to close it. This is annoying.

Bill, where do I find the initial view? I did a chat with Adobe and was told this was designed in to Acrobat XI and that every time it opened I could press F4 to close it. They had me fill out a Feature/Bug report.
