Sony DRX-810UL unable to completely burn a file

I recently purchased a Sony DRX-810UL DVD burner for my Mac Mini and last night tried to burn an idvd project. The file itself is almost 600 megabytes in size and was made in iMovie with voice-overs done in Garageband.
I tried burning it straight from iDVD 5 and it failed to burn. All the files seemed to be on the DVD but they can't play on any DVD player. I then made a Disk Image and tried burning that from the Disk Utility with the same results.
I used the firewire link both times and then tried to connect through the USB 2.0 cable that came with the burner but when I plug the usb cable and turn on the sony drive, my mac mini won't recognize it.
So 3 ruined DVDs later and I am asking for your help, Apple community :P Please help me get my project on dvd so that I can get it through for the my Monday deadline.
Thanks in advance to all help posted.

Unable to complete Burn

I am very frustrated. I have used IDVD many times. I have a 90 minute video and a 4 minute video on IDVD. It plays fine during a preview. However when I go to burn OR create an image. After it finishes rendering the audio it says something like error unable to complete burning process. It never even starts the burning process. I need to burn this ASAP. It is a wedding that I worked on. I have tried re-doing the IDVD authoring. I have moved my chapter markers.. I am out of ideas and I need help. Any ideas? The confuing part is I get the same message when I try to create a disc image.... Please help me!!!

Hi Helena
To get a good answer You should start Your own topic. So that all can see.
To find out if You can make it in time You need to support more info:
- What Mac and speed 600MHz - 2,7 GHz ???
- What OS - OS X.3.9 or X.4.2
- What QuickTime 6.5.2 or 7.0.2
- What iMovie 5.0.2 or 4 or 3 or 2 ??
- How much free space on Your hard disk ? (>20Gb is good)
If You have a dxG5 2GHz and have stayed with OS X.3.9 and QT 6.5.2 and
iMovie 5.0.2 then do this.
(I would repair preferenses first with Apple disk util tool)
Close iMovie
Start a New iDVD-project and chose a theme.
Locate Your movie project icon ("My fantastic movie" - or what ever)
Ctrl-Click on this - select "Show package"
in this there is a folder - Share movie
in this there is a folder - iDVD
in this a QT ref movie is located
Take this "nnnnn.mov" file and drop it just inside the edge of the
theme window You chosen in iDVD
Now fix title and so on as You like it and goto FILE and select
make a disk image on the desktop so You can test it with Apple DVD-player
or if You will chance - burn a fresh DVD.
Good luck !

Time machine says unable to complete backup as file is too large

I have a 500 GB Time capsule and it says when carrying out a back up that it can't be completed as the file size is too large, back up requires 233.01 GB and only 211.95 GB are avaliable. Does this mean i need to buy a bigger Time capsule/external hard drive?

Thanks for the help.
From what I can work out I think as I don't have my computer on all the time long enough to carry out a back up it now wants to do another full back up and I don't have the space on the Time capsule to do that. I will go into a Apple store to check I am right but it looks like I will need to buy a bigger externel hard drive.
Thanks again

Sony DRX-810UL/T vs. LaCie d2 DVD +_RW

I'm considering both of these external DVD burners for my mac mini. Can anyone offer some pros and cons and perhaps a recommendation?
Greg

i try my best,,,,(french)
noboby to blame, I just said that:
- my disk crash.
- I deside to change the disk via an technical service,
- once the disk was change and mounted on the powerbook, they install leopard 10.5.6 but the superdrive device crash...
* I just said that i never use these superdrive because i never burn any DVD or CD,
First thing i saw, before changing hard drive the information system said ATA 0 CDR ,,,, active .... yes & on material /section disk burning,,,, nothing
* now both are occuped by internal device, the death superdrive.
more correct i hope, i'm tired to try different combinaison, target ,,, so I go back to the shop and buy nad Lacie external d2 RVD X20 +/- RW to boot on via firewire.
So I connect the D2 via fire wire, put Brand new 10,5,6 DVD install but he don't appear on the desktop.
So I launch Lacie CD install it works.
==> Is not a problem of hard drive it's a brand new one, the external professional external drive works, the Firmware is the last "LA00", I was thinking about an DVD corrupted, so I try, all the X version of DVD install of mac os X I have 10,2,,,10,3,,,10,40
no one appear on destop, so i try an movie dvd the same.
=======> I thinking it was because it was because first it have to go to the ATA 0 bus see the DVD then open a link to the firewire... so I try to an G4 AGP with PCI card, the disk can be read by internal combo, but not seen via firewire port...
=======>2 solution or the brand new DVD D2 drive from Lacie have a problem, or Apple block the acces of the firewire boot , why?!
======> gonna try a last experience, disconnect PCI hard drive , and use ATA 0 switch of the computer with an anoter Hard drive...
a few moment,,,,,

I have never been able to make a backup (system image+files) using windows 7.
I tried it right from the purchase of my notebook (2-3 times), then at least 4 more times over more than a year.
I tried 3 different usb external drives (all working), but the program was not able to complete the image. I feel that having a backup of my files and the system image would be a great way to undo any problem without doing a full install of Win7 and all the programs I use.
I'm not sure if the error message was always the same. You have the last one I got here : Input-Output Error (I-O).
I did try chkdsk/r on both drives without any change.
OK so that was the result. Let me give you more details about what I did :
(loose translation warning...)
Using Control Panel > System and Security > Backup and Restore
Then I click on Create a System Image.
Then I chose the drives to be saved :
This is what shows up in backup configuration

There is no optical drive in my notebook. I did plug in a usb external dvd drive with a system disk, as asked at the yellow ! above.
Thank for your help

Cannot get iMac or Roxio Toast10 to recognise my Sony DRX-510UL DVD burner

Hello, Firstly, I am not very good with Mac, Can someone please lend me a hand?
I would like to use my Sony DRX-510UL DVD +- R/+- RW burner, but i cannot find the driver that is compatible with Mac. I read this review it suggested that Roxio was software that would do the job... http://www.emedialive.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=7972
I have installed Toast 10 & neither Mac or Toast recognise the Sony burner that is connected via USB port on the back of the iMac.
I still have the original software disc for the Sony burner but of course it is written for PC.
Can anyone help me find a compatible Sony DRX 510UL driver for Mac? Is that what i need?
Kind regards
Glen

Your network configuration shouldn't be relevant to the problem. It may be the problem is related to the particular enclosure or to the USB cable.
Open System Profiler and see if the drive is registering when it's connected. It would appear in the ATA and Disc Burning sections. If it doesn't register in System Profiler then there's a problem with the drive or you have a corrupted system installation. If it does register then open Disk Utility, put a disc in the drive and see if DU lists it. If you have a DVD with data on it, then insert it and see if it mounts on the Desktop.

I have been using the Adobe Digital for years. All of a sudden, I am unable to complete a download

I have been using Adobe Digital for years. All of a sudden , I am unable to complete a download from my library to the Adobe Digital. Can anyone help?

Has anything happened like an update to Digital Editions?
Two possibilities come to mind:
between them they are the answer to a large number of ADE problems, but I can't promise they will help in your case.
Also, a third possibility at the bottom.
1) ~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
2) ~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
3) ~~~~~~~~~~
extension of (2). ADE2.0 will often not work with Overdrive library books if a Sony eReader is plugged in.
It isn't just that it won't interact with the Sony, it won't even operate properly on the book within ADE on the computer.

Unable to burn additional files to CD

I'm unable to burn additional files to a CD I previously burned to.
When I look at the CD via disk utility it states "Write Status :Read Only"
Is there a way that I can still write to this CD?
I assume I must have done something wrong earlier with the first burn to allow multisessions.
Any ideas?
thanks!

No, you can't write to it again. You can't write a session from the Finder. You need to use Disk Utility or an application like Toast. Here's how to do it with Disk Utility.
Recording on a CD-R disc more than once
Normally, you can only burn information to a CD-R disc one time. If you use a CD-RW disc, you can erase the disc and then record on it again.
There is a way to use a CD-R disc more than once. If you use Disk Utility to burn the disc, you can set up the disc to accept more disk images in the future. This way, you can burn a disk image now and add to the disc later until there is no more room on the disc. This is called "multisession" burning.
IMPORTANT: Some formats (such as ISO) only allow one disc burning session. Others, such as HFS+ (Mac-OS Extended) allow more than one session until the disc is filled.
1 Create a folder for the session and drag the items you want to burn into the folder.
2 Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities.
3 Select Images > New > "Image from Folder." Then select the folder you created in the navigation window and click Open.
4 Type a name for the image, choose a disk format, and click Save.
5 When the disk image is complete, select it in the left column of the Disk Utility window.
6 Choose Images > Burn or click Burn in the tool bar.
7 Insert a blank CD in the optical drive.
8 Select the "Leave disc appendable" checkbox. If you don't see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner to see this option.
9 Click Burn.

Mainstage Was unable to complete the download world music loops

Ok, so I have bought Mainstage 2.2 from the app Store, and have almost downloaded all the additional content.
However, the only pack that will not complete it the World Music Apple Loops.
I immediately get the message, Mainstage was unable to complete the download.
There is no attempt to download this pack.
Any suggestions? I don't really want to uninstall and download 20Gb again.
Cheers

More disk space than I can shake a stick at, very stable internet connection, speedtest shows ping <18ms etc. The main reason for purchasing mainstage is for the loops and instruments, at £20 that's a bargain, but only if I can get the application to download the last package.
Wireshark shows that the server is rejecting the request from MainStage as a HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable.
Looks like either a MainStage Application issue requesting the HTTP GET command or the Server not servicing that request.
Apple over to you!

Unable to COMPLETE install of iPhoto 09 on Power PC G4 - specs OK

I have a very old PowerPc G4 (512RAM), 1,25Ghz, OS X 10.5.8 which my kids use for their photos.
I am unable to complete the install of iPhoto 09 from the iLife 09 update disc I purchased in the late 2000's.
The disc works perfectly and I get as far as slecting the drive on which I want to install iPhoto. I hit the install button and the beachball appears for 5 seconds or so, then diappears and the install stops. I can hit install again and the process repeats itself but it is not updating the program.
The reason for doing this is to transfer a my iPhoto 09 library over to this machine instead of re-importing the photos and having to recreate the albums / events.
iLife 08 is installed and working.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try using Pacifist to install iPhoto and it's supporting files from the iLife 09 disk. I would move your current iPhoto application to the Desktop until you know the install was successful and it operates as expected.

To "update software" and when I restarted my computer I got the message unable to complete. Now when I restart my computer it is shows the apple and a continuously turning time gear.

I responded to install new software message and was asked to restart--I did that--went to lunch and when I returned my screen showed the message that said, "unable to complete update for unknown reason" or something to that regard-and asked me to restart. I tried to restart and now see the apple but the time scroll is in an unending loop and my computer will not boot.-I recently installed snow leopard in order to be able to sync my mobile me accounts--since then my computer runs hot. Not sure if that has anything to do with current issue.

You will need to reinstall Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the appropriate Combo Updater to return to the Snow Leopard version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

E72 - "Unable to Complete Command"

Dear all - I just bought a new e72. Waited months for it, and now i am horribly disappointed. It syncs okay with Microsoft Outlook, mail, calendar, contacts. But, everytime i try to compose a new message, or reply, or forward, the message "Unable to Complete Command" pops out.
Can somebody help me please? I am running Microsoft Exchange as mail server. Thanks.

I have a SOLUTION!!!
Called NOKIA support and they were ZERO help. Only thing they could do for me was to reset my Nokia Messaging service from Expired to active again.
So to summarise:
I had the problem that I could not send email (either create, reply or forward) from my E72 connected to my Google Apps Premier Account via Mail for Exchange. I wanted to have my calendar and contacts synchronised and PUSH email on the phone.
The other symptom of the problem was that I could only see my inbox and my deleted items folders when I tried to select a different folder. There were no sent items, outbox or drafts folder.
The solution was:
reactivate my Nokia Messaging service online - this had expired
check the settings on your Nokia Messaging service to make sure you have set-up the email account you would like to have push email for
create a new mail account using Mail for Exchange on the phone. Use the settings as specified by Google, i.e. the server is m.google.com with your username, password etc.- make sure you select that you want to sync calendar and contacts via MfE
switch OFF the email synchronisation with MfE by going to the settings while in the email inbox, selecting settings and disable the email synchronisation
create a new email account using the Gmail option in email setup. This will set up an IMAP account that will connect using Nokia Messaging and deliver push email. The most important thing is that this will create another email inbox THAT WORKS!
Now I have push email from the IMAP/Nokia Messaging service and sync for calendar and contacts from the MfE service. A little clumsy, but it works and thats the main thing!
Enjoy!

Hi iTunes-1,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.
iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
Here is an example of what section three might look like:
In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
Run CD Diagnostics again.
Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS. Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive. Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
I hope this information helps ...
