When writing DVD always receive a random error?

I have been using my MacBook for about a month, but as time passes things with the DVD drive get worse. At first I had problems reading, but now I can't write any DVDs, I either receive some errors during writing or at disc verification. And the disks aren't readable. Tried both DVD-R and DVD+R disks from different brands. What could be the problem?
Do you think I can get an immediate laptop replacement when I go to an apple store?
As I really need to have my laptop all the time and I can't wait till they fix it, therefore I need a fast replacement.

Welcome to the discussions.
More often than not it is a Media problem, I suggest you use a Very High Quality Media.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
2nd, I recommend you use a media that will burn on Older slower burners as well as the Newer High Speed.
I use Maxell 16X DVD-R.
This media will burn at 1X 2X 4X 8X and 16X, ( Read the packaging).
Sometimes the errors are caused by trying to burn at to fast a speed.
If you are using Burning Software let it do the work in Automatic Settings.
Cheers Don

When installing itunes I received the following error "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
You're not alone buddy.
Frustrated.

I have an older Macbook with OS/X. Tried to download iTunes 10 a few times now, but when installing I always get the same error message: Run Preinstall Script for Apple Mobile Device Support. What can I do to finalise the installation?

Thanks. Short of the sort of "generic" suggestions of restaring your system, if you haven't, and repairing disk permissions and verifying the disk, I don't have any advice right now. I'll do some research and see if I can come across anything. Meanwhile, someone else may have an idea.

I/O Error when writing access Log buffer to file. error number: 28

Hi,
Oracle OracleAS Web Cache 10.1.2.3.0, Build 10.1.2.3.0 080201 is writing events like this:
[alert 13215] I/O Error when writing access Log buffer to file. error number: 28
I've looked for this alert and i've found this description:
WXE-13215 I/O Error when writing access Log buffer to file. error number: %d
Severity: alert
Cause: I/O error happened when OracleAS Web Cache tried to write to the access log file.
Action: Check the status of access log file. For example, see if the disk is full
Anybody knows what "error number: 28" stands for? The logs are sended to other server and it seems that the disk size is ok.
thanks!

I tested again...it seems LabVIEW doesn't like the way I wrote the measurement files. I attached a set of VIs (ZIP-file) to give you a clue how it was done. When I try to save and read a file containing just plain DBLs from a 1D-Array (see attached file generating VI) it works perfectly well for large file sizes.
So there might get something messed up by the way LabVIEW saved the measured data. You'll notice, that I (accidentally) left the "prepend array string size" input of "write to binary file" function unwired which means that the size information will be written as a type of header. Maybe this is the reason that it doesn't work as expected...

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off. ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc. No changes. Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier. Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet. Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?

I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

Error when writing to the Internal Buffer-runtime error during querydisplay

Hi
I am working in BW 3.5. I am trying to run a query in BEx Analyzer but I am getting the following Error
Error when writing in the Internal Buffer see OSS note 156957
I tried for the note but I am not getting relevant information.
Please let me know what to do.
Thanks,
Padma

Hi,
please apply the note 1614788. After note implementation, you need to set parameter RSR_HIER_THRESHOLD_EXPORTDB in table RSADMIN via report SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN in transaction SE38.
If you set this parameter to value 50.000 for example, all hierarchies with more than 50.000 nodes will be buffered in the database instead of using the export/import buffer.
To find out the current size of a hierarchy, goto the hierarchy maintenance in transaction RSH1 and copy the hierarchie ID from the header data. With this key you can goto transaction SE16 and select table RSRHIEDIR_OLAP (Field HIEID is the hierarchy ID).
It should resolved your issue.
Thanks,
Venkat

Quicktime movies compress from HD to TV Ratio when writing DVD

I'm using version iDVD 7 (sorry...no forum for v.7 ???).
Using "ONE STEP DVD from MOVIE" feature to convert a Quicktime Movie that was created in Final Cut Express into a DVD. The item properties in FCE are letterbox 1920x1080. After writing DVD, the image on the screen is compressed to TV ratio. QUESTION #1: How do I avoid this and QUESTION #2: There's probably a better software app for making DVDs from FCE...what do you suggest? Many thanks!!!

Hello again...I have some conflicts in the information provided and the links to others therein.
Article TS1611 mentions to save in 854x480 NTSC, but there's no option to that ratio...in either HD or other formats. The other direction to use the specific compression is something that I was not doing. I was going with the default...so Article TS1611 is a hybrid solution at this point.
The second link suggestion takes me into iDVD's themes...which I do not use. I only want the player without all the graphic stuff. That's why I go to FILE>"One step DVD from Movie".
The other mention within an article suggested using a program that "amorphs" the file during stamping. This user had a file that when exported from FCE was not in the 16:9 ration. Mine are in the 16:9 ratio in HD and then in changes the ratio to 4:3 when writing the DVD within iDVD.
So all seems to be correct, then the DVD plays in TV ratio.
Thanks again in advance!

How to restore from backup when there is always a code -50 error ?

I recently upgraded my iphone 4 from OS4 to OS5.
Everything went well until the phone prompts me to connect to itunes (the cable to itunes picture). itunes keeps on giving an error saying restore cannot be done and the code is -50.
I'm thinking of "restoring from backup" option in itunes, but is there a possibility of the error coming out again ? Currently I have the apps recovered, but not the contact list.

After reading your post I had a look at "man
reconstruct". I'm not clear about the "f" flag, you
suggest it, and the man page says "useful for
restoring backups" - but the example on the man page
does not use the "f" flag. I'm not sure whether I
should / shouldn't use it.
Up to you to decide whether to trust the man page or me
Just kidding. The -f flag will make sure subfolders containing messages will be take into account as well.
But you are saying
that if I just reconstruct the ONE mailbox then it is
only that one where I need to fix the ACLs? That is
much better!!
Yes, just that one. (Unless your database is already broken for some reason and you need to do a full reconstruct, but you should see this in the logs)

When I try to burn a disc, I always receive an "unknown error 2700" message. How do I correct this?

Since you are using a 2012 iMac which has no optical drive, your problem is w/an external disc burner? Is the burner a tray or slot loader?
Type of file you are trying to burn?
Type of disc?
Make sure the DVD/CDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.
Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

CD/DVD Problems w/7.3: Error 261 - DVD Backup & Not Recognizing Audio CDs

Hello,
Since updating to iTunes 7.3 I have had issues with:
1) iTunes recognizing an Audio CD - so I cannot currently import from CDs. This goes for Windows too in Windows Explorer; I get an I/O issue error
2) iTunes making a backup DVD - I receive the iTunes error 261 with a fresh disk; however, my Picasa photo program quickly created a photo backup DVD.
Windows does successfully recognize a CD-ROM. Toshiba, my notebook manufacturer (Model M35-S456) does not recommend any chipset updates. I checked Intel's site (Chipset is 855PM - I/O controller is 82801DMB (ICH4M)) and it really seems like overkill to mess around with this since the issue appears linked to install iTunes 7.3.
I have followed troubleshooting suggestions and submitted my diagnostics (to assisting Apple determine drives that are having problems) at the following post - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93444
Thank you,
Derek

hi, this could be a gracenote cddb issue, when you pop in an audio cd, itunes tries to access the gracenote database > if it cannot then sometimes the cd will not populate in itunes. to test : disable your internet connection entirely > then pop in an audio cd > does it read the disk? > then it is likely and issue with something blocking itunes from querying that site/server.

When trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 - error message "Key could not be opened"

Error message is in German as I live in Austria.
I have tried a lot of time to install a recently bought packagee "Photoshop Elements 12 & Premiere Elements 12" - but without success. When istalling PSE 12 I always receive the following error message (text in German):
Installation stoped and then ran back to zero - so after all no changes were made.
However, what can I do that this error doesn´t occur anymore?
Any suggestions would be appreciated very much!

Kind regards

Encore DVD 2.0 _ General Error Message

I have just completed my first project w/Encore and when I checked the project there were no errors. However, once I start to build the DVD I receive a "General Error Message" and the build is aborted. I am at my wits end trying to determine why I receive such a message and if anyone can help I would be most appreciative.

Ah hah! Well, looks like it has something to do with my custom menu. I created a project and built it pretty much the same way as the one with issues, but used one of the menus that came with Encore... and it worked fine.
So... there still remains the question of the "incompatible media" error, and I really think it is just that maybe Encore doesn't like DVD+R DL's... or something along those lines. My burner likes them just fine with other apps (which BTW, I've uninstalled all of through this process). I would still like to know the answer to that question.
But more than anything
I REALLY WANT TO USE MY CUSTOM MENU! Any chance I could get to someone and have them look at it, maybe you could tell me where I went wrong? Before I created it I read a lot of material on the subject, and to the best of my knowledge I followed all of the guidelines. I spent
A LOT of time building them, being the n00b that I am. :P
If you're able and willing, here's the
main menu and the
chapter menu.
Right click and choose "save target as...", or you'll probably end up with jiberish in your browser. :-|
Thanks for your help!!!

I updated Itunes today to the latest version. Windows 7 64bit. None of my drivers work and get an error when itunes starts, about registry setting for reading and writing dvds and cds missing. Anyone else have the same issue. I downloaded itunes again, reinstalled still have same issue.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
