Project paradox - project finishes burning, but also doesn't finish

Project burning window says:
"Multiplexing and burning"
Progress bar is solid and not moving
text just below says "done"
"Time remaining: about one minute"
The disc ejects.
All I can do is hit Cancel. It will warn me about the project not being finished. If I hit Continue it will go back to the same window, if I Cancel completely I have to start from scratch.
However, I need to burn 20 copies of this disc. Usually iDVD will prompt me to burn another disc, which it did yesterday on my test DVD. Only thing that has changed is DVD brand. Both otherwise burn and play fine, but it doesn't make sense for this to be a physical DVD issue, however, that's all that's changed from yesterday to today.
iDVD is fully up to date, so is Snow Leopard. Permissions are repaired, fsck has been run recently. Restarted the machine first time, then did a shut-down and repair again. As I said, it worked yesterday, but now doesn't after multiple attempts. Only difference is maxel DVD-R, and the new Memorex DVD+R I am using. Both discs have been used before in other situations (burning data and movies before in iDVD. I typically only use Memorex, the maxells were a gift I was using up), and my superdrive is otherwise fine (I hope).
I just ran out of the maxells and purchased the Memorex because I need roughly 20 copies, and that was the only option at the store I visited. Suddenly a few hour long burning project has turned into a several day project since it has to start over from the beginning each time.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: MAGICALLY FIXED ITSELF. AFTER THIRD BURN IT PROMPTED FOR ADDITIONAL DISC AS NORMAL. Hopefully it lasts and isn't an issue with the drive.

If you are burning multiple copies, save your project as a Disc Image - File > Save as Disc Image...
Then right click on the Disc Image, select Open with Disk Utility, highlight the image and click on Burn.
You will be prompted to insert a disk and after that you can specify your burn speed.
Far more efficient and quicker way of burning multiple copies than re-burning iDVD Projects.

Time Machine no longer backs up data, but also doesn't display "Failed"

Hello. I've had problems with Time Machine for a while now. First, instead of just performing an incremental backup, almost every day it tries to back up about 59GB of data, far more data than I'm changing. Then it started to fail after the first successful backup of the day. Once it begins to fail the only thing I've found fixes it is completely wiping the backup and starting from scratch. Now most recently it starts to backup (once again about 59GB of data) and then after about 1GB is backed up it just stops, with no message of failure but also not reporting that it backed up anything.

If you are using a Windows partition or the VMware/Parallels equivelents, you might have a big chunk of data out there that does need backing up. Also, if you manually back it up, does it work?

Aperture thinks a project has offline referenced masters - but it doesn't!

I've just been consolidating two Aperture libraries by exporting projects from one library and importing them into another. For the most part this has gone smoothly, but in one project all the images have the little badge with the red slash through it, to indicate that the referenced masters are offline.
But they're not! The project itself is 2.2 GB - so all the photos are actually in it - and when I click 'consolidate masters' for that project, Aperture tells me there are no referenced masters for this project. For every image that's missing a master (if that makes sense) there's a version that's NOT missing a master. So the data's there and I can work with the image - I'm just a bit worried about making radical moves without knowing exactly what's going on
I've tried deleting the project and reimporting it, but to no avail - also, when I delete the project, it tells me referenced masters are offline and can't be moved to the trash.

My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker all of a sudden. It's almost like a colour Burn and it's also washed out. Can anyone advise what the problem may be before I take it for repair?

Check the settings in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display.
It's possible to alter some of those settings accidently by hitting the wrong key combinations.

Got this weird problem that I havent come across in any other postings. When I try and burn a cd from iTunes it completes burning apparently ok. But when I test back the cd all the track points have slipped so they're not at the start of each tune as they should be. It even cuts off a fraction of the first tune. This must corrupt the cd in a way as altho it plays okay on PC it doesnt play on my hifi cd player anymore, which it used to do. When I say used to, the only difference i can think of is that I have my itunes library on an external drive now (as you can see from my diagnostics). I burned cds fine when the library was on my c drive. Maybe this is coincidence, I dont know. If this is the problem how i can get mend it? Thanks.

If I'm guessing correctly, you've successfully burned an Audio CD. Use a program taht reads Audio CDs (iTunes, MusicMatch, Windows Media Player, etc.), and you'll be fine.

ITunes 10.5 sync doesn't finish iPhone 4S 5.0.1

When syncing my iPhone 4S 16GB 5.0.1 with itunes 10.5 using a Macbook Pro 10.7.2 it freezes at the last step 7 of 7. I had the same problem with iOs 5.0 and the update didn't change a thing. iTunes is still accesible, but it doesn't finish the sync. All I can do is deconnect the iPhone in the Devices of iTunes, but it give a warning that it is still syncing. When I check the iPhone and iTunes, everything seems to be ok and purchases and apps are either downloaded on the iPhone or iTunes.On the iPhone there is still the little wheel turning to indicate the sync and in iTunes there is the same little wheel next to the iPhone in Devices. Any idea anybody??

I'm experiencing this problem for the first time - frustratingly, while upgrading to a "new" (hand-me-down) 32GB 4G - on OSX 10.6.8. This phone has the iOS 5.0.1 update installed, I'm trying to restore my old phone's data from backup. All the data appears to be there up to mid-October (from looking at text messages), but the sync wasn't finishing. I hit "cancel," and now the cancel isn't finishing. I'm gonna leave it overnight, but I'm not expecting it to finish.

Photocast doesn't finish uploading

I have a photocast that is a smart album. The first time I publish it, everything goes well. When I try to update the album, it goes through everything until the progress circle is almost finished, and then it doesn't finish.
I've looked to see if it is still uploading anything, but there is no upload activity on my computer at that point. My current solution is to unpublish and republish the photocast each time, but I'd rather find a better solution.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it because it is a smart album?

That memory should suffice indeed.
If you are lucky, the print products store can still print your original book from the copy on their server. they keep the uploaded file for reference for a month or so.
You have screened all pages of the book, if there are no photos missing? And you have reentered your billing information, not just checked it?
The system status for the print Products is shown as o.k. at http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Check, if you accidentally have turned on restrictions in the settings:
Settings>General>Restrictions
Check the region settings for the iPad, if the country is set to the country of the delivery address for the book.
Trouble shoot the iPad:
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

I have burned to my external blu ray burner 3 times, but twice ended up with glitches in the project. now it stops at 59% and won't finish sharing. How do I get it to finish sharing?

I have burned to my external blu ray burner 3 times, but twice ended up with glitches in the project. now it stops at 59% and won't finish sharing. How do I get it to finish sharing?

It's a complex project and there are a lot of possibilities. Among them is the length; there are a number of reports of projects that are approaching 2 hours failing to burn.
If it's a question of jarring Create Disk into action, one thing that has worked for some users is simply to click on and the Apply button (s) in the Settings pane of the Blu Ray Share window and then hitting Cancel. This can be tested by duplicating your project and selecting a tiny section of your sequence and exporting. Change the Output Device to Hard Drive and see whether Create Disk successfully writes a disk image.
You can also check that a specific clip isn't rendering properly. Since the process got to 59%, it may just mean that the burn couldn't be initiated by Create Disk – or it may indicate a problem with a clip toward end of your sequence. (If you can check the log, there may be something useful in there.)
Use the duplicated project and this time set a range for the last 30 minutes or so of the project and export it, using the Blu Ray destination. Again, set Output Device to HD and see whether it will complete.
Good luck.

Project in PRE10 will burn as blu-ray but will not burn as DVD.

I created a project of still images in PRE10 with the NTSC-HDV-HDV 1080i 30 settings. I burned the project as a blu-ray and it turned out great. I tried to burn the same project to a DVD and it goes through the encoding process fine. However, when it gets to actually burning on the disk it completes about 5% and then abruptly finishes saying the burn is complete although no files are written to the DVD (it is still blank). The same thing happens when I try to burn the project to a folder (no files are created). I have created other projects with this setting and am able to burn to either blu-ray or DVD. Any ideas on why this happens?

As your Blu-ray results are good you must have large scale images in your project. What are the pixel dimensions of your still images?
Your project is High Definition 1440x1080i, whereas DVD is Standard Definition 720x480. This means that PRE has to scale down the images. Unfortunately PRE is not too good at downscaling and can choke the program.
This tips & tricks article has a lot of information about this issue: Large Still Images into PE - One Workflow.
That article, at 111 items, is rather long. In a nutshell though it recommends still images be scaled in photo editing software to the target size - 720x480 in your case or, if you want to do some pan & zoom, around 1000x750.
So for your particular case you should resize your large images. If you do this in exactly the same proportions as your HD project images you could then replace those in the existing timeline with the smaller and perhaps your project will then complete burning.

There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Project exceeds max length error; but just burned one that was even longer

I'm really confused. I'm receiving the "project length" is exceeded message but this video is shorter than one I just burnt earlier this morning. I'm under the time limit requirement. I've cut off intro/outro loops. Don't know what to try from here short of having to re-install stuff.
Any thoughts?

I figured this out. The DVD Chapters had the loops set to 14 minutes for each page of them. I shortened it...problem solved.

Archived an iDVD project to an external drive but can't access it

My DVD player on my MacBook Pro is broken so I'm trying to transfer an iDVD file to my Mac mini so I can burn DVDs. I tried archiving my project to an external drive and everything seemed to work normally but the project doesn't appear in the finder window for the external drive on my ProBook or mini. I tried changing all permissions to "read and write" but still doesn't work. The only place I can open the project is in iDVD on the ProBook.
