Vibration, error when attempting to burn CD

I've had this 13" MacBook Pro for about a year. I've always had some trouble with burning CD's. Now it's gotten to the point where I am lucky if I can burn one without a failure (maybe 1 out of 3 success). I know I have to do something, but need this computer on a daily basis. There is a very loud vibrating noise, and then after some time, a failure. What it says about my disc burning is below. Before I take it to service, is there anything that I might do to correct the problem? I already tried setting the burn speed to 16x and 12x, helped once then not.
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS23N:
Firmware Revision: SB03
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh

Hi
is there anything that I might do to correct the problem?
assuming that you're not working through a batch of bad discs & have tried another brand - then no, it sounds like a problem with the optical drive.

  • Sense Code 0X00023A02 error when attempting to burn RW

    Hello. I am recieving this error when attempting to burn from to a DVD-RW or a DVD+RW. I know the first thing that is going to be mentioned is additional software such as on the "things to avoid" list when burning DVD's, however, I have all versions of Encore that have been produced, so I simply uninstalled 2.0 which was giving me the error code, and installed 1.5 and was able to burn a project with the same exact disc. I uninstalled no other software and did nothing else, besides rebooted, which I always do when I install and uninstall my applications. Therefore my thinking is that it is within Encore. It also with another RW in 2.0 states that it cannot erase the disc even if I do not have auto erase selected, and the disc was previously erased with Nero. I am actually sort of angry because I purchased a new burner to test out this error that I was recieving, and while I can indeed return the burner, I noticed others are being advised to check other software they have on their system. I have none of the software listed on the detrimental applications that may interfere with the burning process and I also now have (2) less than a year old burners along with a "not soo inexpensive" application that in essence does not work in a way I need it to. Yes, I can uninstall 2.0 and simply use 1.5, but I should not have to do this. And though I know this is not going to be answered by Adobe techs, please take note that the burn "Does complete without error simply by uninstalling 2.0 and installing 1.5 and creating the same exact project with the same source files". Therefore there is something within 2.0 causing these errors.

    Neil and Jeff, thanks for the response. I am running a 965P chipset board and my PATA is connected via the JMicron controller, so my drive do not appear this way. It only shows the General, AutoPlay, Hardware and Sharing tabs. This is something that is an issue with this chipset from what I am being told. However, if this were the case(and god no man, no roxio installed on the system), shouldn't it be interfering with 1.5 burning the project also? This is why I am soo set it being 2.0 since 1.5 burned the project with no issue whatsoever. It's only in 2.0 that it is stating this error with the +RW or with the -RW it is stating that the disc cannot be erased. I understand completely what you all are saying, but I honestly do not believe this is the issue since one version of Encore will work and the other will not, unless something has changed in Encore 2.0. I understand that it was pretty much re-written(I was on the beta myself), but at that point, I never needed to use RW's, so I did not test with them, otherwise I would have reported it.
    I cannot even get into the drive for recording via the Device Manager, so changing this option is not a possiblity. It is unfortunate that from what I have seen only one mfg makes a SATA dvd burner, and from what I have read, it isn't that great of one.
    I am just at this point lost and wondering if I should simply return the burner I purchased and buy an external USB 2.0 unit and see if it works with that. What do you all think?

  • Itunes authorization error when attempting to burn idvd file

    The software updates should take care of it, but I got this help from the ilife team at Apple. If you encounter "your computer is not authorized to play this song" error messages when trying to burn an idvd movie, it may be because the file contains music you downloaded from itunes. This fixed everything: Go to the apple.com and go to the apple store. Go to "Account." Go to "Change 1-click settings." Make sure 1-click setting is turned on. Then go to the itunes store though the itunes page, and authorize 1-click ordering and ensure that all of your account information is correct in the itunes store.
    That fixed all of my issues.
    Good luck!

    alright, i added new ram, so i am running 2 gigs now, tried again...failed. i get all the way to burn and a popup comes up saying burning finished errors found during the burning process, i click ok and the burning wheel is still turning and i need to force quit to get out of idvd. i might go crazy, so any help is appreciated.

  • IDVD encoding errors when attempting to burn slide show to DVD.

    iDVD fails to burn disk and fails with encoding error.  Have attempted to use best, good, and professional modes of encoding to no avail.

    Hi Patrick,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions. I see you're a new member. Hope you're enjoying your new Mac Pro. What are you trying to burn to exactly?  I use Verbatim Dvd-R with excellent results. If you are using a higher quality media like Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden but to no avail then I need to ask if you have first tried making a disc image from the file menu in iDvd and then playing back said image with apple's dvd player app (prior to burning to Dvd-R).
    This approach helps us narrow down the issue so we can better assist you.

  • Encoding error when attempting to burn dvd using iDVD

    I made a movie out of a slide-show I made in iPhoto using iMovie. I then went to share-media browser-large. Once that was completed I went to iDVD and selected the movie in the menu to the left, then drug it to the idvd menu screen and it added the movie. I added some photos and music to the menu screen as well. I then clicked on the burn symbol at the bottom and it began burning then I got an error message saying "error during encoding/rendering. Burning terminated." I had at least 90 GB remaining in my hard drive. Is there a defect in this software? I would like to get to the root of the problem. Please help.

    How much space is available on the boot drive?
    Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDVD (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    If the issue persists I would try a brand new project with different content added (say a still image and a slideshow in iDVD) and save as disk image again. Just to make sure iDVD itself is working.

  • HT3204 When attempting to burn an audio cd, I get an error message that says-burning failed due to unknown error (4280)?  It has been working fine, until today...what does this mean??

    When attempting to burn an audio cd from my playlist, I get an error message that says, burn failed due to unknown error (4280).  It has been working fine for months...any solutions?

    I have the exact same problem.
    Been searching through this site to try and find an answer but still not come up with anything.
    The wierd thing is that a couple of days ago it was working fine, and suddenly overnight it's stopped working.
    The only solution i've found is that you need to have administrator rights as it says in the posts on the site below:
    http://www.emergingearth.com/itunes-7-cant-burn-cds/
    Noticed by the diagnostic in your post that you dont have admin rights like me so that mite be the problem. Not sure if this is the right solution though.

  • When attempting to burn a 1.2GB video using Magic DVD I get Burning Prep error. Not enough free disk space...... I have tried all I know to no avail. This have just started!!

    When attempting to burn a 1.2 GB video using iDVD I get a "Burning Preparation Error.. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaing assetts" This has only justed started to happen.  I have used this programme many times before in the past. Can any one help as I have tried all I know?

    Yes, 44GB is sufficient. I don't think space is the problem.  I don't know about iMovie but iDVD can only use the boot drive for its scratch disk.
    You might be getting that error due to some damage file in the project.
    Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    Also run Disk Utility and verify the disk.  If errors are indicated you will need to boot iknto your system install disk and repair the disk with Disk Utility (see the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window).

    Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TS_CHECK".
    What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "SAPLSTD4" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was
    not caught in
    procedure "DB02_ORA_FILL_TS_CHECK__CRITOB" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated
    by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    When importing the object "TS_CHECK", the component no. 4 in the
    dataset has a different type from the corresponding component
    of the target object in the program "SAPLSTD4".
    The data type is "I" in the dataset, but "N" in the program.

    Received the solution from SAP Active Global Support:
    This error occurs due a corruption in the table MONI.
    For solving this issue you need to clean the records of this table via the following path :
    1. Call transaction ST03
    2. With GOTO -> Performance database -> Content of database
    3. Push button Delete data group
    4. Enter ID DB
    5. Continue
    6. Confirm the delete
    If you wish to backup the data before deleting the entry please follow the steps in the note 1000275 "DB02: history data backup procedure".

    Hi
    This Q is close to - Something is wrong. What's it ?

    • Free space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ?
    • Brand of DVD used ?
    • Type of DVD used ?
    • Burn speed set down or not ?
    • Version of iMovie, iDVD'11 v 7.1.2 (OK), QuickTime and Mac OS ( X.6.8 I read ? )
    And all extra info You can supply - that set's us on track.

  • I keep getting a 4000 error when trying to burn discs....only been since the update....Help

    Ever since the Itunes update, I keep getting an 4000 error when trying to burn my music to disc.  How do I fix this?

    Zachy,
    It goes something like this...
    Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
    Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

    Hi sdr2014,
    I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
    So, let's try this:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

    Hi Terence,
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!
