SoundDesigner 2 CD burning bug

When I try to burn an audio CD with SDII audio files with iTunes 8.0.1, iTunes crops the first 2 seconds of audio. The audio files play fine in iTunes but are cropped on the Audio CD.

Sure, it may read the discs outside of iTunes, but have you tried burning or importing anything off the discs in another program?

I-tunes 5 burning bug?

I Installed i-tunes 5 today and all was well until I tried to burn a playlist. Using previously compatible cdr at maximum speed I had no problems with previous version. However i-tunes 5 won't complete a burn and gives me the message: The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. (Amongst other things).
Have tried a lower speed, have tried a different playlist.
Computer (i-tunes 5) says 'no'.
Any ideas what this means and how to fix?

Don't just reinstall - cleanly reinstall. Go to Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and that should help. It solved my problems!

I can't burn a playlist - It says it is doing it but the CD is blank after

I think there might be something wrong with my CD burner although it seems to read Cds OK
When I try to burn a CD nothing is actually on the CD even though it goes through the motions of burning, saying it is initialising the CD and burning to disk etc
can anyone advse me what the most likely cause is or how I can troubleshoot it?
thanks

I am having a very similar issue. I am using a PowerBook G4 with OS 10.5.7. I know that I used to be able to burn audio CDs in the past. Recently, however, it goes through all of the motions and appears to be correctly burning an audio CD. However, when I try to listen to the CD there is nothing there, and checking it on a PC reveals that I have empty tracks (no music) but it still can read the individual track names (song titles). I am wondering if one of the many OS10 updates brought along a little CD burning bug? Very frustrating! Might try the Snow Leotard update and see if this helps the issue (I'll report back!).

Burning cd help

ive been trying to burn a cd of recent purchases and i cant. its not that there are to many songs. i know the songs fit on there. sometimes it will tell me to insert a black cd and i do and it does nothing or it will say it will require more that 1 cd and i say ok and it stops or it will pop up with error 4880. i dont get it. i have the latest version of itunes. i used to be able to burn cds and now i cant....HELP!!!

OK, then you have surely encountered one of the many burning bugs that is afflicting iTunes lately.
Since you have already tried the lower burn speed, other home remedies to try are: If you are using CD Text, turn it off. If you are trying to burn a long playlist across multiple audio CDs, split it into individual playlists that are each comfortably under 80 minutes. If you have not updated the drivers for your CD drive recently, do so.
If none of that helps, consider burning with another program on your computer, such as Nero or Windows Media Player, which in your case seems to be working fine.

Did Quicktime Update Break Toast CD-R Playlists burn, Toast Error =-50 ?

I updated Quicktime and ever since I get a Toast error message
" couldn't complete the last command because of a Mac OS Error Result Code = -50"
There is a little Toast icon on the error screen, so Toast is blaming the Mac OS...
I can't find the old Quicktime anywhere 7.1 or 7.01 to downgrade (I got 7.1.1 update). I never had any problems burning Playlists by dragging and dropping into Toast, from my large Apple Lossless library. Out of about 12 tries I got one song to start filling the RAM cache, instead of stopping before that point and showing the error message.
I CAN copy a CD to the FW burner from the internal drive, but just not burn a playlist to CD-R, except for one song, Once.
I CAN burn an MP3 disc with Toast just, not a standard CD-R.
Used Disc Warrior, switched cables around. Turned everything off and plugged it back in agin. Played with all the Quicktime preferences both turning off and on, Got rid of extraneous applications and cleaned up my itunes settings and library.
Also Played with all the disc settings and no change.
There is a small chance that a downloaded Itunes Library Manager script could have been a bad influence, as well as a Icon Changing Application called candy bar. I removed the icon changer and haven't fiddled with the Library transfering scripts much, they stay in the script folder..but who knows? Itunes library looks in good order as far as I can see. Even reinstalled Toast and Quicktime...
I got a little carried away with downloading interesting applications and now I'm not sure which or maybe all of them broke my itunes specifically Apple Lossles to CD (aiff) burner in Toast. I can still burn iTunes CD's, but prefer the song titles that Toast offers.
Any idea where I should or any other tests to narrow down the bug? Or where to look or what actions to take to try to get CD playlist burn in Toast fixed? I have read some other Panther users having problems with the latest Quicktime upgrade and music burning bugs, but not enough to look like a trend.
Thanks.
Sid

I'll answer my own question
Quicktime 7.1.1 Toast itunes update Fiasco
Panther 10.3.9 Toast 7.0 and iTunes 6.5.2
Burning Apple Lossless files from iTunes playlist with Toast (for CD TEXT )
Started with Quicktime 7.01... worked, until I upgraded Quicktime to 7.1.1
BIG MISTAKE!
After throwing a lot of things away and reloading lots of software, I finally tracked the problem down to Quicktime. Not much help with similar problems in the Toast or Quicktime forums.
After updating my Quicktime 7.01 to 7.1.1 I could no longer Burn Apple Lossless playlists to CD-R using Toast 7.0 or the upgraded Toast 7.2. Kept getting ERROR Messages that Mac OS would not complete the command because of a problem (-50)
To get a working version of Quicktime I had to reinstall my Panther OS discs and start with Quicktime 6.5 then find an archived update to get Quicktime 7.04.
There is no downgrade for Quicktime 7.1.1
This is not nice!
There is a downgrade of Quicktime 7.04 to 7.01, where I started, but chose to keep the Quicktime 7.04 because it works with the Toast update of 7.02, so far.
Quicktime 7.04 will not work with Toast 7.0 Gets another Toast ERROR message that file cannot be found.
Quicktime 7.04 Requires upgrading to Toast 7.02.
I am keeping the Quicktime 7.04 to 7.01 downgrader handy, as well as the original Toast 7.0, just in case.
Whew! there went about 12 hours of my life!

Weird and aggravating user-burned DVD problem.

Hi,
I'm experiencing a very weird and annoying problem with my self-written data DVDs.
Basically, when I wrote a couple of data-DVDs today, I cannot seem to copy the files from these DVDs on a Mac via the normal way anymore. Basically, when I mount my DVD I see all my files just fine, but when I wish to copy one to my computer I get the forbidden-cursor (the one with the black arrow and a white stopsign). Now the weird part is that if I select multiple files I can actually copy them to the hard-drive, but with a strange caveat; namely the file that I selected last will not be copied over.
This was the first time my self-written DVDs showed this behaviour, so to check I dug out an older DVD which I knew worked perfectly a year ago. But lo and behold, it now also displays this behaviour. What's more, it seems suddenly all three Macs in this house decided do treat my DVDs (old and new) in this weird way. The lone Windows pc downstairs otoh actually did just fine and allowed me to copy single files from the disc with no problem.
But that's not all. If I insert such a DVD and later on insert a self-written CD, this CD suddenly shows the same behaviour. Only after relaunching the finder will this CD work correctly again (sadly, this doesn't help with the DVDs).
To write my DVDs I use an external LaCie d2 16x DVD+/-RW (completely up to date with respect to its firmware) with Toast Titanium 7.0.1 on an eMac G4 1ghz running Tiger 10.4.7 .
I use either DVD+R or -R (both show this problem) and write them using Toast's Mac & PC data disk option. Between the three Macs here at home the only constant factors are the Apple-supplied system updates, leading me to believe there is either an undocumented burning bug in Toast or there is a problem in Tiger 10.4.7 .
A google-search did not bring up anything, neither a confirmation nor a solution for this problem. My question now is; has anyone here ever experienced this problem and found a solution (or have at least an idea what the underlying problem could be)?
Thanks for any and all replies,
Tim
P.S.: I figured that perhaps there was a sort of permission problem on the mount volumes, so I ran the fix permissions routine but to no avail sadly.
eMac G4 (1 Ghz) ATI-graphics, combo-drive, 512 Mb RAM, 160 GB HDD Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Update:
It seems that older DVDs do in fact still work ok when one relaunches the finder, just like I mentioned for cd's in my above post. So seemingly the DVDs written today somehow seem to 'corrupt' the Finder with their behaviour.
In fact the last 'good' backup DVD I wrote was in february of this year, so whatever is causing this must have happened between then and now. This gives me the impression that there must be an incompatibility between 10.4.7 and either Toast 7.0.1 or with the firmware on my DVD±RW drive.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tim

Moving projects between external hard drives lose clips

Sorry for the unclear subject line, but I really can't think of a quippy way to say what the problem is.
Short version--I moved project from external hard drive A to external hard drive B. Worked on A. Worked on B. Moved it back to A (still have copy on B). No longer works on A. Clips show up in the timeline, but on screen is white. Transitions, titles, audio don't work. Still works on B.
Ideas?
Long version--I'm using 10.3.9 on my old Powerbook. iMovie 6.0.3. I am using Lacie Porsche 250GB external and a Mercury Elite Pro 500 GB hard drives. When I started, the Lacie, which I was using for my speaking career videos, was NOT formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). So, while working on another project, I had issues with the infamous Ken Burns bug with pictures.
After consulting with the experts here (thanks Karl), I determined that I must reformat. So, pain and anguish, I moved the various movies off of the Lacie (Drive A) to the Mercury (Drive B). On both, the movies worked fine--all transitions, everything. The Mercury was and is Mac OS Extended (but NOT Journaled).
So, I wipe the Lacie with Disk Utility so it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Once finished, I begin the process of moving projects (3 in total) back to the Lacie. Two of the projects are completed works with transitions, audio file, titles and the like. One is just clips in the clip pane, none in the timeline. I moved them all at once.
When I did, I checked them before I would delete them off the Mercury. When I did, both of the completed projects loaded properly--the clips do show in the timeline. But, in the preview window, all I have is a blank white screen. When I play, nothing happens.
I have not erased anything, changed anything, thrown anything away--nothing. And, they still work perfectly on the Mercury (same computer, obviously).
This one really has me stumped. I am really irked that iMovie has apparently become such a messed up program. Worse, this has been out for some time now (I had not used it yet, but I got iLife last year some time). I can't believe there are all these issues all this time later and obviously Apple has done nothing or little to correct these problems. I consider iMovie a real flagship program to model the ease of use and blah blah blah that we all know concerning Apple.
OK, sorry for venting---anyone with any ideas? Did I mess up the drive when I wiped it? Is this merely the program? Something between the fact that the Mercury is NOT Journalled? Any help will, as always, be appreciated.

Thanks David---
The Permissions are the same for both, on both hard drives.
I have not repaired permissions on either.
I did shut down the computer last night and this AM, upon starting again, had the same problem.
I did attempt a few fixes--I moved the clips from the timeline back to the preview pane. I had one clip already there and it would play perfectly. When I did that, with a clip from the timeline and then moved it back, it would show up and play. But, upon hitting the next clip, it would stop playing at the first transition.
Some of the transitions are from a Third Party (Gee). Remember, though, they played perfectly fine from Drive B. I have not attempted, however, to put the Gee effects into iMovie 6. As I said earlier, I haven't used the program on my computer since the Fall. Now, using 6.0.3, I don't see my GeeThree effects anywhere, nor have I tried to put them in. But, from the Drive B (and originally in the drive A), the movie plays fine even though the added clips are not present for me to use in any new project.

10.6.8 and burning a cd bug

Well, still working to rule out any other issues. But I have noticed a bug with 10.6.8 that after burning a cd from finder, the screen refreshes on the desktop to include the new cd, but still shows the old burn folder also..
EDIT: just noticed it's a finder crash after burning a cd:

It looked like a small bug going up and down on my screen then it stopped about 12 o clock a quarter of the way from the top, now it seems to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone seen this before? And what can be done about it, macbook pro

I have what looked like a small bug that ran up and down the screen and then sudenly stopped in center upper half of screen and now appears to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone had this probelm before and what can be done about it?

Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them. They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent. They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover. The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free. If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store. For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

Burning Error 4000 - itunes 7.7 Bug???

I have never had any trouble burning with itunes until I updated my itunes from 7.6 to 7.7 . When I tried burning a CD with itunes 7.7 for the first time, I could not burn the CD and recieved the error 4000 message. Like I said, I have never had any problems before I updated my itunes. My drive is updated and I've been through the repair/uninstall-reinstall process and none helped with the situation. I see other people are having this problem but I'm thinking this problem is might concern the 7.7 update. Could this be a universal bug???????

I just read a response to a person with the same problem:
I know I couldn't believe it was that easy either. I actually found it when I ran CD diagnostics....at the very bottom of the diagnostics page was a little comment saying something like "if you are having trouble burning try turning off write cd text option" and i was just like well why has no one else seen this!!
(compliments of someone named comuscle)
I was having the same problem as you and had tech support help me get the "old kingdom" back. I thought going from 7.6 to 8.0 would have helped but alas it was the exact same problem. Went through about 20 discs too. I have tech support working on this and have sent me a regedit that did not work. But this simple easy thing works! By the way I also saw another discussion that people were havinng the same problem at version 4.5...I wonder?

Is the Burn Folder bugged

I always back up my files to DVD using the Burn folder.
Recently every disk has been a failure, it only backs up an alias of the files. so if I back up a folder called 'pictures' for instance, the result is just a 1mb alias of the same name on the DVD.
Is their a bug in a recent software update I have downloaded ?
I downloaded an old application called Burn and this works fine.
Anyone else found this please ?

You keep referring to "the" Burn Folder as if it is a unique object with a required location. You (or your family member) can create as many burn folders as you want, and they can be wherever you put them. If this particular burn folder is on the Desktop, it may well have been created there. You can move it wherever you want it (including the trash, if you and your family are finished with it)

Bug? OS X See Windows 7, XP or Windows 8 Release Preview Installer Burned on Rewritable as Blank

Hi. A Windows 7 (even the Windows 8 Release Preview) or XP Installer burned as backup on a rewritable can't be recognized by Mountain Lion anymore. It sees it as a blank mounted as an Untitled DVD but when you test the rewritable on a virtual and a real PC, the DVD works. The DVD media is 4x DVD+RW (not DVD-RW). What could be a workaround?
Gbu.

I have the tm2 and have not experience an issue with the recovery and wifi being off, but it certainly is in the realm of possibility. I just had not encountered it on my own tm2, so I subconsciously dismissed it or just didn't think of it as a result.
Thank you for sharing your solution with the community.

Burn Folder Bug

I don't know how but I have a redundant Burn Folder permenantly showing in my sidebar in Finder (Lion). I can't select it, I can't right click it, I can't burn a disc from it, it's still there if I Force Quit Finder and it's still there after re-boot. Essentially I can't get rid of it at all!
It's the one titled 'Native Instruments' - Any thoughts on how to get rid of this?!?! It's annoying me now...

Nope, that didn't do it either...! Do I also need to delete the other two below it:
Or anything else?

Bug when attempting to burn multiple CD's from single playlist. Confirm?

When I attempted to burn a CD from a playlist that was too large for a single CD iTunes asked if I wished to burn it onto multiple CD's. I said yes. It did so except that the metadata was stripped from the tracks. When I tried again, separating the tracks for each CD into their own playlist the metadata was added to each CD without a hitch. So, I believe the issue is caused by having multiple CD's worth of songs in a single playlist but if someone would confirm that would be great. I would test myself but I don't have any Re-Writable CD's and don't feel like wasting another two CD's for the sake of the cause.
PS- Yes, I checked the "Include CD Text."

Yes we can confirm that.
The iTunes feature to burn a single long playlist across multiple CDs has always been problematic and unreliable.
In general, folks can save themselves a lot of frustration by breaking the big playlist into individual lists that can each fit on one CD.

"This disc does not allow more burns" message - iPhoto bug

A strange behavior in iPhoto 6 :
Easy to reproduce, it happens all the time (on my machine at least).
* Select a couple of pictures (+/- 150 MB)
* Go to Share > Burn
* Insert a blank CD
* Burn.
OK, it burns nicely. But ...
* Eject the CD
* Put that CD back in the computer to read the pictures.
* I have the message "This disc does not allow more burns. Insert a Blank CD"
* Then iPhoto ejects the CD.
Workaround ?
* Quit iPhoto
* Insert the CD again
* It reads and works OK.
Anyone the same trouble ?

I just encountered that problem this morning. I quit iPhoto and put the burned disc back in and saw in the finder that the burn worked. I did not try opening iPhoto again.
But ... I did just try to put that disc into another Mac. While the disc loaded in iPhoto, it did not show any thumbnails. I had to manually drag the photo originals from the disc into iPhoto to import them.
Anyone else like to chime in on this?
