Trying to burn a DVD and getting "unknown device error

Using a 3.1 ghz Intel i7 with 16G and 10.8.2 purchased a few months ago. Never had an issue until this morning.
SO, I tried another of my external Superdrives and get the SAME error...

update: I seemed to have fixed it with a disconnect of everything and a total reboot...let's hope it stays working.
However, I use FCP, output to Compressor and then drop those files into DVD Studio Pro to burn. Have been doing it that way for years and have never had an issue...hoping it was just a **** on my computer's end and not a sign of major issues ahead.

Go to the hard drive find the following folders and look for the following file, com.apple.finder.Plist, delete it and restart the computer. Its found under the following folder Users-account name-library-prefrences. This helped resolve my issue for now.

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

I'm trying to burn a dvd and this code keeps coming up (0x8002006E) what does it mean ?

What's this code mean??? 0x8002006E, when trying to burn DVD/ CD ???

What iMac do you have and what version of the Mac OS? From what program are you trying to burn the DVD?

Trying to burn a DVD and it's taken me all day...

I'm trying to burn a f@cking DVD and it's taken me all day... Way to be "user friendly" Apple; Why get rid of the ability to burn DVD's? What's the point? Now I've spent $20 on a 3rd party app that doesn't work... Somebody please help me out? Much appreciated!

Hi
Me no mindreader - so I can not even guess what
• program You used
• material You feed it with - Video Codecs
So You need to tell so much more.
Else
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

DVD Studio Pro: Unknown device error. (0x73, 0x03.)

I bought this Macbook Pro a year ago to the month and only now after a few hundred DVD burns using DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1 I've kept up with updates and kept this machine clean. So why all of a sudden do I get this message??
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter

Could be a dirty laser or the drive is going, definately get to Apple if you can (unless you have longer Apple Care, in that case do not rush.) Also check your media, could be bad media. Do you try deleting preferences? Do ta hardware test show any issues? Lastly have you tried burning a disc image from Finder and not straight from DVD SP?
As an aside, not sure how many a few hundred DVD burns were, but in a year it may be a big number to me on one MacBook Pro(?) I usually buy inexpensive external burners and leave the internal to burn when I am on the road and otherwise leave it for installs of software.

Hi Mike,
seems like the gui can't bind to the tcp socket. Try killing all processes or reboot the server and try again. If it still fails run a netstat -an command to see what application is blocking the socket/port.

Help for Download & Install & Setup & Activation
-Chat http://www.adobe.com/support/download-install/supportinfo/

Loading itunes on computer that is does not have interenet access. have itunes setup on jump drive. tried to run on computer and get the following error - "itunes64setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

"itunes64setup.exe is not a valid WIN32 application"

That suggests the installer got damaged when being downloaded to the computer that did have internet access.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser (on the computer with internet access):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Trying to download Premier Elements and getting 64 bit error message

I called support at first when problem downloading. They sent me a link for both Elements and Premier. Photoshop Elements worked. Premier I got it downloaded then at setup it says cannot use the installation for 64 bit. I have Windows 8 64 bit. Confused! Anyone able to assist me? I have a brain injury so please be specific. Thanks so much.

Hi pamh8,
The error you are facing ususally comes up when you try to install the software on a 32 bit computer.
Please check your computer specifications and let me know the exact details.
Also please let me know the exact error message (with screenshots if possible).

LOOK HERE: using an ipod shuffle with windows xp/gets unknown device error

http://www.genesoc.com/node/405
If this is similar to what's happening with your shuffle 2g ipod, I may have a weird solution. I spent a few nights troubleshooting this issue and searching many many sites and forums for solutions, all without success. Everytime I plugged the ipod in, XP gave one of the errors at the above URL. I did confirm on another pc that the shuffle was definitely working, because it updated and synched flawlessly. What I finally did to solve the issue was........... remove service pack 2. I know that's a bass ackward solution but it worked! I can now plug my shuffle in and it works everytime, perfectly. The only thing I can say for sure is it's something to do with usb 2.0 on my motherboard. It's a via board btw, with an apollo 333 chipset. Try it for yourself, and let's see if it works. Apple or some other company(you know who) needs to release a patch for this as it seems to be a very common problem.

I am getting error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD

Hi, I am running the latest Lion update, on my MB Pro, and keep getting the error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD. Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive. I see that many others have had the same problem, but relly cant seem to find anyone that has a solution that works.. Help

It's an error thrown by Mac OS X's DiscRecording framework (as opposed to an error communicated by the drive's firmware). The message is (as you probably saw)
"The burn failed because of a medium write error."
Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive.
I don't think there's one single cause for this error. It might be a dirty lens. It might be something else. Not all recordable optical discs work well with all burners. Try a different brand.
