Problem burning DVD's after update 10.5.6

I regularly burn DVD's on my mac, never encountered any problems. I did the update to 10.5.6 this morning, re-started, then proceeded to burn a DVD. I get an error message saying "Could not record the disc because of a Mac OS Error. Result Code= -18768"
Has anyone else experienced burning issues after applying apple's latest update?
I'm using both Toast Titanium, and Popcorn, and both give similar error messages now.

I have similar problem arose recently. I possibly have a bad firewire connection too, since new - sometimes the disc would mount, sometimes not. However, recently it has become increasingly difficult to burn any disc. So I ugraded to 10.5.6. Now I most often get a number of messages from 'connection unstable' to 'bus device reset occurred'. I installed Toast 9.4 recently replacing Toast 8, and did not restart from the install, and hey-presto, all was resolved. Everything working without any problems. Then I had to restart due to a freeze from an external HD, and suddenly Toast no longer burns. It goes through all the right steps and completes the burn, but the disc is untouched. Thought it was Toast 9 so got Toast 10 - and still nothing! Back to 'connection unstable' and no burning. I tried Burn from the Finder - but same message. I work wiht photos and this is VERY bad for my work. Disc's are the way to store and present archived images. Any help appreciated. Apple Tech has said its my drive and I need to replace it. Could this be the answer? Thanks for any help.

    I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
    I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
    I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
    I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
    Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

    Thanks but this didn't really help.
    I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
    The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
    But thanks

    fair enough.  No need for any unnecessary posts either.  You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
    In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

  • Problem Burning DVD-R with mac mini

    Since I have my Mac mini (1.5 years) I haven't been able to burn a DVD-R once! Now I am almost out of space (7GB left) and need to backup. I am using Toast 6. It burns CDs fine. And it starts burning DVDs, but after 5 minutes it says "buffer underrun". Now I tried different settings, different DVD-R discs, burning it slow, and closing all applications. Nothing helps. I also tried getting rid of Toast 6 and just putting the DVD in, but then the computer doesn't recognize.
    what else can I try? Wasting DVDs is becoming an expensive hobby
    please help.

    I also tried getting rid of Toast 6 and just putting the DVD in, but then the computer doesn't recognize.
    What, exactly, does happen when you put a blank DVD in your SuperDrive? What option do you have selected in the CDs & DVDs System Preference to happen when you do put a blank DVD in? Perhaps you should set it to "Open Finder" so you can try to burn a DVD with the Finder. It may be set to "Ignore" or even to open Toast - which, of course, it can't do if you've removed Toast.
    -Doug
    P.S. Exactly which version of Mac OS X are you using? Your profile here says "Mac OS X 10.2.x" but all the Mac minis shipped with at least Mac OS X 10.3.x. You can find out if you select "About This Mac" under the blue Apple menu.

  • Can't burn a disc after updating to Yosemite

    I have a 2009 21.5in desktop, and I've never had an issue burning discs of photos, until now. When I insert the discs, they are ejected and I am prompted to insert a blank disc. These ARE blank, I bought the pack 2 days ago. Photos are .jpg format, and I'm running into this issue on all platforms, whether I try to burn from Lightroom 5 or from the Finder. It seems the drive is attempting to read them, because I can hear it engage, but then it auto-ejects them. I need to get these photos to a family for Christmas cards! Help!

    1. Open Disk Utility and repair permissions
    2. Open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences folder and delete com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    3. Go to System Preferences > Users and Groups, create an user and check if the issue appears
    4. Backup the data and press Command and R keys in boot. Open Disk Utility, select the drive, erase it and install Mountain Lion. When Mountain Lion asks for the backup, only move your user files

  • Problems reading RAW format after update 6.03

    I have problems reading RAW format images into Iphoto 9.6 after update 6.03 or maybe earlier updates (have not imported for a few months). The images show up like half, black or partly distorted. I use a Canon 5D mk2 camera. The images looks okey when read into a PC so I don´t think it is the camera or cables. It has been working very good before! I use a Powerbook pro 13 late 2011 with Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Try downgrading back to 6.02 by following the directions in this post by léonie:

    in response to ceylin.e
    [DocumentBodyStart:3bf5afd7-94e9-4fb4-acfa-7aa13198efec]
    Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
    To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
    To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
    If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
    The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
    To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
    Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G  (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder")  and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
    In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
    Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
    Then restart your Mac.
