Why does mac not accept blank dvd

My mac book pro keeps ejecting balnk dvd. even when accepted icon for dvd not showing on desktop.
please help

What do you have your preferences set for under System Preferences>CDs & DVDs?
Here are mine:
I have mine set to Open Finder when I insert a blank DVD because I mainly use DVDs to make backups. This way I can just drag files and folders to the DVD and burn them as a data DVD.
How are your preferences set?

  • Why does brasero not burn a DVD?

    I have a DVD to burn, but every time I run Brasero I get a message to insert an empty disk or otherwise it will attempt to make an image. With the empty disk inserted seems like brasero does not see the device and disk.
    With my external DVD writer connected I can't burn anything to it. The user is added to optical group and the device is found. Growisofs however works with the provided path. Why does brasero not see the writer and how do I make it burn the dvd?

    A likely cause of this error is that some program did not report memory usage correctly to the OS.
    This ARTICLE will give tips on finding "clues" as to what was happening at that moment. Chances are good that that program, or Process is identified somewhere in the Event Viewer. Now, be prepared to do a bit of reading, but follow EVERY link in any of the error, or warning messages.
    Good luck,

  • Why does Encore not recognize my DVD burner?

    I recently purchased Encore to complete a video editing project I've been working on, and for some reason the software will not recognize the external DVD burner I have connected to my computer. The burner is not that old, so I don't see why Encore would show that no device was attached, especially when the computer itself recognizes the external drive. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have any solutions? Few things are as frustrating as having software/hardware issues for no apparent reason. Thanks!

  • My Military web site requires a certificate. My certificate that is loaded on mycard reader is a .cer file , foxfire wants a pkcs12 file so I can't load my certificate in foxfire.Why does foxfire not accept my .cer ?

    When I try to go to web sight https://sscc-fe-03.med.navy.mil/EXCHANGE I get the message "this page requires a client certificate. I have a Activcard card reader hooked up to USB port with my security inserted. I try to import my certificate into foxfire and it will only accept a pkcs12 file and my certificate is a .cer file. All the checks I do on my card reader show it is working properly and my security card works fine when on work computer but at home I have this problem. How can I get foxfire to accept my .cer certificate when I try to import it or read it off my card reader?
    Thanks

    I am running Firefox 12.0. It is not able to import the p12 files which wasn't a problem on the older versions or IE. The error message is either:
    PKCS#12 operation failed for unknown reasons
    or
    Failed to decode the file. Either it is not in PKCS#12 format, has been corrupted, or the password you entered was incorrect
    The p12 file I am using is from a certificate test suite from the department of defense. and the file works fine on IE.

  • HT4623 Why does the update ask for a pass code? Previous updates did not.  Why does it NOT accept the only PIN I have set on this computer? Thanks.

    What the heck is a "pass code" and why am I being asked for one??  And where would I find said pass code?  I've not had to do that for prior updates, so am more than a bit confuzzed.  Thanks.

    The Passcode is the 4 digit code you use to unlock your iPad.

  • Why does iphoto not accept my phone number when filling out shipping info for buying cards??

    Im trying to generate some thank you cards in iphoto 11 and when paying for them, it wont accept my telephone number in the Primary number box, which is in the delivery contact bit in the shipping information box. The telephone number keeps going red and i cant get any further with ordering the thank you cards. I have been to Itunes to check my billing and payment information and im using the same telephone number so i cant see why it wnt do it?? Please help as these thank you cards are from my kids to grandparents and other family members and my wife is getting irate at me, because i havent done what should be a simple thing!!!!!
    Many thanks if you can help.

    Try going to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and re-entering it in your account there and be sure that one click ordering is turned on and try again
    Also I'v eseen reports that number of digits can cause this if you are in an area that uses a different number of digits - I believe that someone reported that they had to move one digit to another field to get it to work - you might search the fourms for that post

  • Why does adobe not accept my serial Number from Elements 3.

    can't install elements 3

    Welcome to the forum.
    As has been pointed out, you are referring to Photoshop Elements. There are enough differences between the Elements versions, and Photoshop (Ps Elements' "big brother"), that it will be best to Move your post to the very active and helpful Photoshop Elements Forum. Your link, and any e-mail subscriptions will follow.

  • HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book.  Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

    I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book.  (and on my iPhone as well)  Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

    The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
    If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

  • Why can't I get the Mac to accept a dvd which it did yesterday evening?

    Why can't I get the Mac to accept a dvd to play which it did yesterday evening?

    Hi a brody,
    It's pretty well documented. Here's a Wikipedia article on the topic. Tons of other links to follow.
    The drives themselves weren't damaged (by trying to do something like write to the drive's firmware), but the rootkit was installed on any computer you put a loaded disk in.
    I had a couple of legally purchased CDs from that era, and they never played right. They would skip, stall and even spontaneously eject. And this was in various music CD players (home player, car), which the rootkit wasn't supposed to affect.

  • Why does favicon not always download on PC ... whereas it does on Mac?

    Why does favicon not always download on PC ... whereas it does on Mac?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why does Mail not support read receipts?

    I find it hard to believe that there is a single email application that doesn't support read receipts. For me it is a fairly basic feature I would expect any decent Mail application to have.
    I am currently in the process of writing an email to a company and I want to make sure they get it - a read receipt is how I want to verify that they've had it. Why does Mail not support this?
    If I am going to have to accept that Mail is not the first class application Apple keeps parading around - is there an alternative that offers this and other features I would expect to find in Microsoft Outlook (minus the calendar etc...)?

    Outlook uses a Microsoft-proprietary system for "read receipts", so there may be no way Apple could implement it, or there may be licensing fees involved, or Apple may just not feel that it's worth spending the money to implement. Outlook which is designed to work primarily with an Exchange server, so it's in Microsoft's interest to support Exchange features (note that even Microsoft in their own Mac app do not support all the features theydo on Windows).
    You can express your interest in this feature to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    but support for return receipts in any system other than Exchange is very unlikely, since as Matt said it is not part of the Internet email specification and hence not widely supported at all.
    Regards.

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.
