Why do I get the message "burn failed"?

I never "burned" a disc before and want to copy wedding photos that I have in iphoto that I downloaded from a CD from the photographer.  I have some CD-R discs I bought a few years ago.  I got this "burn failed" message, and I do not know, do I need new discs?  My imac was purchased in December 2010, and these discs are older.  Please help. Thanks.

Thank you for your quick reply; I did experiment with some different photos and they did go onto the disc. I wonder if professional photographers who give you a disc have a way of preventing them from being copied onto another disc?
I do not know what burn speed means?  I did not see a place to enter that.  I am totally new to this, but I did go to the Apple website and will educate myself on burning discs.
Any basic info on this topic is much appreciated.

  • Why do I get the message "CoCreateInstance failed - Could not create 3D mouse device" with Acrobat9?

    Had a crash and reinstalled everything.  All is OK, except when I open Acrobat 9, I get the message "CoCreateInstance failed - Could not create 3D mouse device".  Tried unchecking anything in Acrobat preferences having to do with 3D, and I don't currently have a 3D mouse device installed.  Can't find any other reference in Google that includes both Acrobat and the contents of the message, part or all.  Ran "repair acrobat installation" and rebooted, and that didn't help.  Totally stumped!

    use the cs cleaner.
    first uninstall your cs5 programs (including acrobat) and uninstall adobe reader.
    run the cleaner for reader:  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    restart your computer.
    then run the cs cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html)
    restart your computer
    and finally reinstall your cs5 programs including acrobat (but not reader).

  • Why am I getting the message "project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)" when trying to share my imovie to media browser?

    Why am I getting the message "Project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission.) when trying to
    share to the media browser?   I have done this many times before and never got this message.  This is very frustrating.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi
    Error -49 opWrErr  File already open with write permission
    Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
    Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
    • Create a new User-Account
    • Log out of Your old one and into this
    • Re-try iMovie
    If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
    from Karsten Schlüter
    Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
    This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
    try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
    in Terminal copy/paste
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Re-launch Mac

  • Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported?

    My computer is running Windows 7 - 64-bit. I have the latest softwear on both my iPhone and my iPad. I have installed Edge Inspect on these devices and have the Google Chrome edge inspect extension installed. I have been able to enter my passcodes for both devices in the Chrome extension. Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported just yet?

    This is VERY interesting ... even though I got that strange message, once I linked my iPhone and my iPad to the Google extension, it worked! Whatever I display in Google Chrome automatically displays in the Edge Inspect app on the small devices. This is neat! The only problem that I can see is that Adobe needs to replace the error message with information about how to use the application.

  • Hi why do i getting the message like "Your payment method was declined"

    hi why do i get the message like "Your payment method was declined"

    What are you trying to use as your payment method, credit card, debit card ... ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
    You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards.
    which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
    For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined (but you might not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

    Why am I getting the message to enter passcode when I first turn on my phone? What is a passcode? Never had to do this before.

    If you created a passcode during the setup after updating to iOS 7, that could be why you are seeing the passcode request. Do you recall creating a passcode after updating to iOS 7?

    If I tunes indicates that I have 4.29GB free on my 4S, then why do i get the message that it cannot complete the sync because of inadequate available space?

    Not the case.  There is a sync issue.  I tried to un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). as suggested in another thread, but cannot remove the music from my phone (in an attempt to free up space as you intimated.)

  • Why i always get the message "Oops! Something just went wrong on our server! We've logged the prbl"

    why i always get the message "Oops! Something just went wrong on our server! We've logged the problem and will fix it as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience." everytime i added new apps on eprintcenter.

    I will need a little more information in order to help out. What model of printer is it that you own? Are you able to ePrint with the machine when you send emails to it? Have you every been able to successfully download apps to the machine without getting the error message? Do the apps that you download successfully download at any time after that error and later work?
