The Disc ejects

When I am burning a movie onto a Verbatim DVD+R DL, the file is put onto the disc all most all the way and just when the DVD is about to be finished (when the status bar says "about 1 min") the DVD ejects automatically while the status bar says it is still burning. I still have the option to "cancel", but the DVD is already ejected. When I try to play it on my DVD-player, it won't read. I burned basically the same DVD earlier before and it worked fine, but for some reason, it randomly ejects the disc before its done writing. Thanks!!!

just wondering if you got this resolved yet. i'm suddenly having the same problem after having burned several idvd (chaptered) projects successfully (from both imovie and final cut pro). now i can't get through a new idvd project burn or one that i've used successfully just recently. the only difference on my end is that i ran out of fujifilm (dvd-r's) and have switched to sony (on sale). can't imagine that the media brand is the difference. on the other hand, i haven't been paying attention to how much drive space i had while burning (now almost 7gb free). also, i've managed to be able to play the main menus and first bunch of chapters on these early eject dvds but then the dvd player gets stuck on the later chapters and crashes the player. also idvd ultimately needs to be forced quit.

I,ve bought a new USB Super Drive and have plugged it in, but can't get the disc ejected from the drive.

I've bought a new USB SuperDrive, but don't know how to set it up. HAve put the cd in the machine, but now cannot eject it!

Have a look here for some suggestions for ejecting a stuck disk:

Cannot Install Windows, disc ejects

I have used Boot Camp to install Windows a few times before on my Leopard operating system, though I had to uninstall it a couple times (I realized I couldn't use my reinstall disc from my old PC). Every time it worked smoothly and I never had any troubles.
For some reason this time around, I am able to partition the disc just fine, but when I choose to start the installation, the computer reboots, but instead of installing windows, it ejects the disc needed and simply starts up Mac OSX. I've tried using option to select the disc (the disc ejects before I'm given my options) and telling the computer to reboot using the disc. Neither has worked. I've used this same disc before to install Windows, and it worked fine then. What can I do to make the disc not eject, so I can install windows?

I experienced this as well. What I discovered is if you push the XP install disc back into the drive while your Mac is still at the grey screen when it reboots you will find the install will continue just fine. This will happen a couple of times during the install process, just push the XP install disc back in each time and XP will install.

I have Mac 10.6.8 wih Office for Mac 2004. I tried to install Office 2011 but the computer rejects the disc.Please help.

Mac OSX 10.6.8 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo; Memory-2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I have been using Office 2004 for a long time, and about three years ago purchased the then new Office 2011 . I installed it but did not like it and removed it from my computer, Now I would like to install it--the computer rejects the disc. Is there anything I am doing wrong? How canI make it work. Using spotlight, I did not find any traces of the old installation. Thank you!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
Visit www.mactopia.com where you can download the trial version of Office 2011. Install it then register it using your registration number that you have for the DVD.
It would be a good idea to uninstall Office 2004, but it shouldn't be necessary. You can dump the old Office 2004 folder in your Applications folder.

Disc ejects before completion in iDVD

Hi, firstly I'm a little behind the times having only recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, my problem is iDVD. I have a collection of images that I am trying to burn via iDVD all goes well until the burning, the disc ejects about 8 minutes before completion, this has happened five times, I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, as the permissions appeared to be incorrect and did not repair in utilities, but still no joy.
The machine is 2.16Ghz intel core 2 Duo, Memory 2Gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and there is 80GB of memory, also it is iDVD 7 1.2 I know it's not the latest all bells and whistles machine but it worked until the recent upgrade.
Hope someone can help
Thanks.

Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed (2x - 4x) available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

When using imovie and converting to idvd the cd ejects before the burn is complete. how can I burn the movie for viewing?

when in idvd the disc ejects before multiplexing and burning are completed therefore the disc has issues when viewing. there are damaged areas. Is there a work around to burn the movie?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

How do you get the disc tray to open when ther is a software boot up problem?

I just downloaded Motion 5 software and it froze my screen. I panic and pressed the power button for a foced shut down. Now my computer boots up to a blank blue screen. Prior to this I made some system prefrence chages to the desk top.Don't remeber what they were though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your computer no longer starts up then 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 Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

I am trying to install a language disc. I clicked on the installer. It ran for a long time without installing. I click stop installing and it says it is stopping but is doing nothing. I am unable to eject the disc or stop anything.

I am trying to install a Portugese language disc. I clicked on the installer icon and it said it was installing, but it ran forever without doing anything. I clicked "stop installing" and it says "stopping", but it is doing nothing. I am unable to eject the disc or do anything because it says an operation is in progress.

Please provide some info on the disc, where it comes from, who made it, etc. Also tell us what version of OS X you are running.

The good thing about mac-centric resellers such as OWC, is they have people on staff that can answer questions without you buying things first. They also have how-to information, and instructions are included in many of their products. I saw a link to watch a DIY video in one of their pages; an example of a RAID (with its own power supply) is shown on their drives page. Also a few in there, with no power supplies, for less money.
If I were looking to backup and perhaps also have a partition for a system clone, I'd consider something like one of these: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
Some ideas on the RAID backup methods appear in google search, some of the pages are ideas and concepts; and the better ones also warn about using RAID for the only backup plan.
Oh, OWC has live chat. Haven't tried it, nor have I bought anything from them. I have what appears to be two products from them, but have not used either. One is in a box as-new, but has only USB2.0 ports & my Macs needed FW400/800. It has been said their RAM is a good way to upgrade, too. But I can't confirm!
A 'RAID-ready' unit for backup may be more versatile for just that, but I have not checked into these details. I use single HDDs in powered enclosures, and usually manually make backup clones to FW drives, of bootable OS X systems. Some of the OWC raid-ready use eSATA ports so that may not be viable for a computer without them.
The unused in-box external drive I have is like the base model in the link above. However mine is USB2.0 (maybe) and won't boot my older Macs due to hardware variance; and my preference would be for FireWire options, these models do offer that. But the one I have does not. Dual 500GB HDDs, and they could be used in tandem as a RAID. That would be a choice set up in software. I'm not sure and not interested enough to read up just now.
My backup method is not automatic, or a moving backup plan, if I don't get a move-on and make full system clones. I do make copies of photos and documents the manual way, to USB external drives; and occasionally backup to DVD or CD media. And USB flash, that helps to move files between computers without need to use file sharing via wi-fi. {Like Why fly? Walking is better exercise unless one is a bird. Squawk!}
https://www.google.com/#q=raid+backup+mac
Depending on the ports in your Mac, you may be able to use other cables to attach between a backup or externally enclosed hard disk drive with multiple partition and bootable clone in one of them. Not sure about the Thunderbolt, and where that is the main port, adapters are required to access other devices, as allowed.
Anyway, I am going on and on, yet not really saying anything.
My ideas would not be all that interesting to follow as a backup
plan when matching available newer hardware to task, but you
can get some into better ideas if you are not in a rush. Get a
good setup and then look into more an betterer stuff.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.
