The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. Verifying the burned

I am trying to burn an album from iPhoto '09 and I receive the following error message:
The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. Verifying the burned data failed.
I have attempted 3 different times using the same media that worked prior to my upgrade to Snow Leopard. Prior to the upgrade I didn't have any problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Same for me here...no luck with TDK DL DVD +R. Seems that this drive is extremely picky with DL supports (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1181990).

  • The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed?

    I was wondering if anyone ever found a solution to this problem? This is the error message I get when I try to burn a DVD in iPhoto.
    "The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. The disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry."
    I am trying to back up all my photos in iPhoto to DVD. I am using iPhoto 11 and I currently run Mac OS X 10.6.8. I made about 10 DVD copies earlier before this problem started without any problems. Now I get this message all the time. I tried burning a movie DVD in iDVD and it worked with no problem so I do not think the DVD burner is defective. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • My Macbook keeps saying 'The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-898 drive failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.' everytime I try to burn a cd with data on it, it has only just started doing it after 2 years of use, how do I fix it?

    Have you tried using a different brand of optical disk? (You don't say whether you are doing CDs or DVDs.) Some are better than others.

  • Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K05 superdrive can't erase or burn DVD-RW

    I've noticed lots of users are having issues with their slot-loading superdrives and I'm wondering if anyone's issue matches this one:
    I can successfully read and write: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-DL and can READ an already burned DVD-RW, but I can't erase a DVD-RW that's already burned nor can I burn a blank DVD-RW. Inserting a blank DVD-RW results in ejecting the disc after about 30 seconds, no error messages, just ejects.
    I've tried Maxell DVD-RW and Memorex DVD-RW. Same results.
    An already burned DVD-RW (from a different burner) mounts fine on the desktop, but when I try to erase using Toast 7, I get the following message:
    The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
    Sense Code = 0x30, 0x05
    CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
    It recognizes that it's a DVD-RW, but treats it as though it were a DVD-R.
    Using Disk Utility to erase results in a more generic error message:
    Optical Erase failed with the error:
    Optical Erase Failed
    I had an online chat with an Apple rep who had me reset the PRAM, no change. Then we tried from another account, no change. Their next recommendation was to re-install the OS using Archive and Install, which I have my doubts about doing. Failing that, they recommend bringing the iMac in to a service store to possibly replace the drive. But based on what I've been reading about all the different superdrive problems users are having, I'm reluctant to even do that for fear of having an even worse problem with a different drive crop up at some point.
    Has anyone out there had this exact problem and found a solution yet?
    Seems like a simple firmware update for the drive could fix everything but I'm unable to find one.
    Here's the drive specs from the Apple System Profiler:
    PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-K05:
    Firmware Revision: Q523
      Interconnect: ATAPI
      Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)

    hi there--
    instead of just resetting pram i would try booting to
    open firmware holding apple-option-o-f and then type
    in the following commands--
    reset-nvram (hit return)
    set-defaults (hit return)
    reset-all (hit return)
    the last command restarts the computer. see if that
    works. if it doesn't then try resetting the smu.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733
    there is a remote possibility that this is software
    related, but it almost never is, and these things
    are much more likely to resolve your problem than
    doing an archive and install, and they are much less
    hassle free. let me know if that works. [ 8 ) ]
    OK, I booted into open firmware and did all the resets. No improvement. In fact, now I can't even mount some DVD-Rs that I had successfully burned before and mounted before. The drive has always been a little touchy with some discs, especially DVDs, but now seems to be even more hit-and-miss. CD-R and CD-RW reliably mount but DVDs have me worried. It took a long time for my OS X install disc to mount and display the window.
    I think it may be time to take it in to Apple and replace it. I may also consider purchasing a Firewire burner with a tray!
    Just wondering also if PatchBurn would fix this by creating a new profile or if this truly is a hardware issue. http://www.patchburn.de/
    Thanks for your help.

  • PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K05 won't burn dvd+-r/w or cd-r

    I've read a bunch of posts from people with similar problems and am concerned...brand new 20" imac with 2GB of RAM and following superdrive specs:

    I have tried many types of media and all have failed...used both burn folder and toast...burn folder has given me the following errors when burning to a Sony DVD+R media:
    error code 0x80020022
    and
    error code 0x8002006D
    get this error when burning to Maxell CD-R:
    error code 0x8002006E
    I've used these on my previous G4 with upgraded Pioneer Superdrive and had no problem. Is this a warranty issue?

    reset the pram and nvram. tried burning from both toast and burn folder...more pricey dvd+r coasters.
    created a new user and tried to burn from that. still nothing.
    i have transferred 200 GB of data to this computer from my old one (which is severely damaged) and can't back it up now, without purchasing a whole new external drive, as i'm guessing i'll have to send this back...just throwing money away on this. thanks apple.

  • I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

    I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
    and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
    I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
    and vertically.
    I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
    When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
    Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

  • Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?  If not, which of the components is at fault?

    When I spoke to a person about upgrading from Premiere Elements 10 to 12, I specifically asked if the program could burn DUAL LAYER 8.5 dvds and I was told that it could.  That is the ONLY reason that I upgraded.  Since recording in full HD the files are larger.  I video plays for local theaters. I have been trying to burn a disk that is 7.5GB (2 hours 15 minutes).  I bought RIDATA -RDL 4x 8.5GB disks.  Then had a dual layer burner installed in my computer.  Premiere Element dialog "incompatible disk" The RITDATA says the problem is Adobe, the Geek Squad says the problem is Adobe.
       SO ANSWER THIS QUESTION: Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?  If not, which of the components is at fault?  I am trying to burn 18 copies of this video (no copyright infringements) and don't tell me to to divide it into 3 disks.

    Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?
    Short answer: Yes.
    What are you burning to DVD disc - DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc or AVCHD format on DVD?
    Does your DVD CD burner support double layer single sided discs?
    Premiere Elements is supposed to (been there and done that....)
    1. burn to Folder (8.5) for Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD
    (you take the VIDEO_TS for the former and BDMV Folder in the latter to a program like ImgBurn
    for the actual burn to the DVD double layer single sided disc)
    2. burn to disc 8.5 GB/240 minutes
    Have you gone the burn to folder Folder (8.5 GB) route?
    Have you tried another brand of disc in spite of by the disc manufacturer and the Geek Squad are telling you?
    A double layer single sided disc is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes. In reality, that 8.5 GB is 7.95 GB. Where are you
    coming up with 7.5 GB for your disc? Was that due to typing glitch?
    Please review and consider. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Add On..Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update yet? If not, please do so using the opened project's Help Menu/Update.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user.

  • Reasonably new PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D will NOT RECOGNIZE CD's

    I bought a new PIONEER DVR-111D drive to replace my old superdrive about 5-6 months ago.
    All was fine and good until about 2 weeks ago when it was suddenly unable to recognize CD's. Audio CD's, blank CD's, my highly valued "must insert to play" Halo CD, etc...
    I noted this problem originally when trying to burn a playlist on a CD and Toast would pop out an error message about "Wrong Media Type". They worked fine before. This only happens on CD's (and yes, I tried a few different brands) - not DVD's.
    DVD's (Dual Layer & -R & +R) read/write/burn fine.
    But when I put a CD in the tray and close it, out spits out the disc (and I've tried several different types) about 20 seconds later.
    I've tried every option I could find to fix this issue including...
    http://www.macworld.com/forums/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=440595&Main= 439419
    (trashing com.apple.kernelcaches, trashing Extensions.kextcache and when those suggestiosn didn't work, trashing ~Home/Library/Preferences/CD Info.cidb - all to no avail)
    I've uninstalled and then reinstalled Patchburn. Didn't work.
    I used Preferential Treatment to fix my User Prefs and System Prefs.
    Doesn't help.
    Now Toast hangs whenever I try and insert a CD while its running - but when I use Toast's "Recorder Settings" to identify the drive it says CD-RW Yes and CD-R Yes.
    I really can't understand why this is happening. Isn't the laser that writes to DVD's the same as the one for CD's? If so, where is this "recognition" issue (can't recognize CD's but has no problem with DVD's) happening?
    Here's the System Info for this drive:
    PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D:
    Manufacturer: PIONEER
    Model: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D

    Disc Burning: Vendor Supported
    Removable Media: Yes
    Detachable Drive: No

    I'd be very grateful for any help on this issue.
    G4 - Quicksilver   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi-
    There are two separate laser/laser lens for each of CD and DVD media. You could have lost the CD side. Could also be a blob of dust in the way.
    Could try cleaning, or, try and get warranty replacement.

    The new user account didn't work?
    Or, the firmware flash didn't work?
    I would try reconnecting the data ribbon. It is cramped and difficult to get to, but it may be some corrosion or a poor connection causing the issue.
    It's worth a try, as the DVR-115 is a good drive. They don't make them any more........

    Please also find more details information about when to use the execution account, if possible,please also not specify this account:
    This account is used under special circumstances when other sources of credentials are not available:
    When the report server connects to a data source that does not require credentials. Examples of data sources that might not require credentials include XML documents and some client-side database applications.

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
