Why won't my macbook pro not burn DVDs

I have all the software, it allows DVD+R. But it won't burn correctly.

What software are you using to burn a DVD? You can burn data DVDs directly from the Finder - if that will work for you then any other burning software should work as well. I use Toast Titanium and iDVD to burn DVDs (as well as Finder burns) and all work well for me.

  • Why won't my Macbook Pro recognize a DVD-R?

    Hiya,
    I have a recently-burned DVD-R in perfect condition (no scratches or anything) that my Macbook Pro refuses to recognize.  I put the disk in, and just get an error message saying "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer".
    Any thoughts?

    Is it really burned? I've had some false burnings, where the media is left blank. Look at it with bright light at an angle: should be evident by a slight change of shine if burnt.
    If yes, does it read in other equipment? The optical system may be dirty; pick up a DVD cleaner disk at the local music or computer store, the dry kind that has tiny bristles on the "business end" that clean the lens.
    Have you tried resetting the PRAM? I sometime had to do that on my previous and now dead '08 MBP.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro play my DVDs?

    I've had my MacBook Pro since Dec 25, 2013. (It's the mid 2012 version) And I haven't tried using the DVD player until today. For some reason, I tried putting a DVD in the disk drive but it won't accept it. I tried pushing the DVD in, but I didn't want to get it stuck. What's the problem?

    The drive is either faulty or there is a disc in it. Hold down the Eject button on the keyboard to eject the disc that is in there. If that fail try restartiing the system and hold down, click and hold, the trackpad. If that fails to eject a disc or there is no other disc in the drive them you need to take the system to an Apple store to be checked out and fixed under the warranty.

  • Why won't my MACBOOK PRO charge anymore

    Why won't my MACBOOK PRO charge anymore, I am living in China and my 8 month old MACBOOK PRO won't take a charge!! It has now gone flat and I am out of a computer. I bought a new charger but that didn't work. This is ridiculous!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To check that the battery is damaged, open System Information or System Profiler (in /Applications/Utilities), choose Power in the sidebar, and copy here "Charge Information" and "Health Information". You can also check your battery status in the battery menu, on the menu bar. If its status is Replace Now or Service Battery, take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller to have the battery replaced for free.
    If you don't see any of those messages, do a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • MacBook Pro Cannot Burn DVDs

    Both my MacBook Pro and my iMac will not burn DVDs.  They will burn CDs but not DVDs.
    They used to but not anymore.
    I even tried a Aplle Branded DVD and had no luck.  Also TDK and Fuji Film.  Alll of these disks worked before I have half empty 100 packs to prove it.
    I believe there is an issue of some sort of software or firmware upgrade that made this happen but I am not interested and reinstalling an old version of OSX to get the optical drives to work properly.
    Has Apple acknowledged and offered a fix for this yet?
    If I don'y find a solution here there's going to be some warm fuzzy words exchanged at the "Genius" bar this evening.
    Yes I blew out both drives with compressed air and quite frankly I don't feel I should have to buy a large sellection of different brands of DVDs to find one that might work.
    Thanks in advance

    The Blank discs are fine.  I am very meticulous.  I've also zapped my Pram and this also makes no difference.
    I spoke to a tech at Apple this AM and he agreed that there is a software problem with the OS and he offered no solution.
    The drive will recod CDRs however.
    I think Apple wrote my laptop out of the OS and they don't care.
    Love you to Apple.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro backup to Time Machine (on my 1TB Time Capsule) when I'm running Lion OSX 10.7.5.? What does it mean when this error pops up: MacBook Pro.sparse bundle could not be assessed (error - 1).???? Please help me fix this!

    Apparently I am not the only person having this problem as I have seen many threads about it. If ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME, I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT.
    I try and run my backup as I always have, but it HAS NEVER COMPLETED SINCE I UPGRADED TO LION. As many mentions, I updated from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 hoping that would fix my issue and it didn't help at all. I also unistalled WD SmartWare to no avail. It's really starting to annoy me since I have as much money invested in my MacBook Pro and Time Capsule as I do in my car....
    I have more than enough space on the Time Capsule, but Time Machine is still failing and coming up with an error message: MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be assessed (error - 1).
    Someone, anyone, please help!

    . . . sparse bundle could not be accessed (error -1)

  • Why won't my Macbook Pro Retina not hook up to Air Play Via Apple TV

    So I want to hook up my laptop to the TV. Now Everything is up to date and my model is 2013 computer and the latest addition of the Apple TV Product. I have the top icon on my screen and click on my name, enter my password, but then it says it cannot connect. Now my internet is wireless at a campus, but other kids got it hooked up easy over wireless. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I went into settings trying to get rid of any blocks and home sharing is on, so I am stumped. Please Help!

    Hello again,
    I believe the update was: MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2
    Thanks!

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro connect to my wifi?

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5.  My ISP is BT Vision so have a open reach fibre modem and a BT HomeHub. All my other wifi devices (iPhone 4S, 5S and Ipad 3) connect to my home network and internet first time every time! However, my MacBook is extremely temperamental.
    When the laptop does connect to the internet it takes a random combination of restarting and turning the wifi on and off. If the laptop is left to connect on its own it either takes an extended period of time (30mins) or it simply won't connect. I have looked through the wifi settings but can't see any reason why the laptop won't connect. The wifi network is visible all he time.
    Any ideas?

    I know how to solve this problem had the same issue, its basically because you BTHome hub runs a 5GHz frequency a long with a 2GHz frequency and for some reason your mac tries to connect to that even though they dont have the techologies will allow them to run on that frequency, making you not connect to the internet. To fix this log into your homehub settings onlin by going to http://bthomehub.home/then going to advanced settings, wireless which should be under it and then click on the 5GHz and turn it off or rename  it and click apply. So you can make your laptop connect to the correct frequency. IF you can connect to the internet on your laptop then you can still do the same steps and process on your phone or any device that connects your BThomehub.

  • Why won't my macbook pro play youtube videos?

    Why wont my macbook pro play youtube videos????
    I bought this over the summer and it's now Nov 28th. I've had it with this thing and nobody is answering my question! Please help!
    I reset safari, emptied my cache, cleared my history, uninstalled and re-installed flash player and nothing has helped. In fact, un/reinstalling flash player worsened the problem. And I cannot update it becuase it says "not recognized".
    I do have avast anti-virus: but I can't fix the warnings in it (after I scan, some warnings popup and it wont let me fix it and I have no idea where to find it in the computer itself). Does this have anything to do with it? I need virus protection, so I dont want to get rid of it.
    I do not have the money to buy firefox (and it's never worked for me ever anyways).
    I know it's not my internet because my dad's pc works great and my sister's mac (for school) loads youtube videos instantly.
    I also have this annoying issue where every page on the interned needs to be reloaded three times before itll load the first time. It sits there for five minutes and does nothing, then I reload the page and BAM its loaded: EXCEPT YOUTUBE.
    For a $1400 machine, I'd like to know what and why this is happening.

    Perhaps there is something wrong with your software and/or a corrupt cache file outside of the browser.

    Hmm hard to tell what's causing this. May have to do a process of elimination to cure everything on the machine.

    Uninstall the anti-virus, they always cause issues on Mac's.
    You say you need anti-virus, so install the free ClamXav, it's a program you run as you need it, because 99% of the malware out there is for Windows and won't run on a Mac, thus you can just run ClamXav when you need it on where you need it. Won't bugger up the machine.
    I do not have the money to buy firefox (and it's never worked for me ever anyways).
    Firefox is a free web browser by the open source community, it's very powerful and highly customizable with more add-ons, extensions, personas, themes than any other browser. Some things  can be done on Firefox can't be done on any other browser at all. Certainly for someone who is a bit more seasoned to use it fully.

    You mentioned your "dad" and you've mentioned a delay loading pages and not YouTube at all.
    Are you by any chance the Administrator of the computer? Can you install Firefox if you wanted too just as a experiment or does it ask for a Admin name and password and you can't provide it?
    "Nannyware" has the ability to block sites and slow down page draws as it's consulting with the nannyware company if that site is suitable to be loaded on your machine.
    If your are the Admin of the machine, then your going to have to methodically go through the fix it list I've generated here to resolve your issue as I cant' tell what's causing your problem specifically behind a screen.
    If it's too much for you, take the machine to a local Mac/PC software repair shop and they can fix you up.
    I suspect by #12 your machine will be fixed.

  • Why won't my Macbook Pro recognize my iPhone 5s?

    SPECS:
    Macbook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 (OS X Version 10.9.1) = up to date
    iTunes (Version 11.1.4) = up to date
    iPhone 5s (Version 7.0.4) = up to date
    My Macbook Pro won't recognize my iPhone when I plug it in.
    The problem is not related to cable issues as the phone charges fine when plugged into the wall.
    I have tried rebooting both my Macbook Pro and iPhone.
    My only guess is something in the latest iTunes update is causing this problem. Help?
    - TheStallion

    I bought a new cable and finally tried it to no avail.
    A few days ago my iPhone 5s lost all functionality (not due to any damage on my part). I took it to an Apple store and they told me that something was wrong internally and gave me a new phone.

  • Why won't my Macbook Pro charge?

    All of a sudden, my Macbook Pro won't charge. I believe it has something to do with the charger, it no longer charges when my Macbook is off, and rarely when it is on, even! Sometimes it will start charging but only if the computer-connecting end is in a very specific position. Sometimes, not at all. I've tried changing power outlets, and restarting the computer. Also, the aforementioned end has a couple scratches, but doesn't appear to have any serious external damage. I've seen the prices of new chargers, and I'm really hoping to avoid buying a new one. Also, is there anything I could've done to mess up the charger? And how can I make my Macbook charge normally again? Please help!

    try unplugging the adapter from the wall and mac for 1 minute, then plug it back in and see what happens.  you can also try resetting the SMC.If you live near an Apple store, it can't hurt to bring the mac to and the charger to get it diagnosed.  Alternativley, you can purchase a refurbished charger.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro start up? White screen and flashing question mark.

    Hi,
    I've had my MacBook Pro for almost 2 years now and I installed OS X 10.8 about 4 months ago.
    Today I turned the MacBook Pro on and a white screen with a flashing question mark appeared. I tried then getting the startup manager up: turning on the laptop and immediately holding in alt (option). But nothing appeared for about 25 seconds until a rotating Earth labelled 'Internet recovery' appeared that gave me options to join wireless connections. However, my internet wasn't in the options and when I tried typing in the information required to join my internet the laptop would just load and never find it.
    I then tried putting in my Mac OS X install DVD (10.6.7) and help in C until the apple logo appeared on the screen and the little rotating loading circle appeared. That then disappeared and a cicle with a cross through it appeared (similar to a no entry sign). Then after about 30 seconds a blue screen followed by a grey screen appeared until eventually the disc ran properly. I then went into Disk Utility but there was no option called Macintosh HD, only the discs content. It wouldn't let me first aid, erase or repair anything.
    I'm totally stumped and have 4 exams at university within the next 2 weeks. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me out here?
    Thanks,
    Best wishes,
    Connor

    The support article linked below is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to starting up from an installation disc, you should instead start up in Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    If you don't have a current backup of all the data on the startup volume, and you want to preserve that data, then you must try to back up before you do anything else. Ask for instructions if you need them.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to reinstall OS X from Recovery, if necessary. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

  • Why won't my Macbook pro connect to the internet, yet my desktop PC will?

    My 13 inch Macbook Pro was purchased back in March of this year, but recently I've been unable to connect to the internet. Within the network settings it says that my Airport is on and has a self assigned IP and that both the ethernet and firewire are not connected. Yet when on my desktop PC, everything seems to be working fine. I've concluded that it couldn't be my router, at least I'm pretty confident it's not.
    I've tried the usual reboot, unplug router routine but it still won't budge.
    Please help!

    Just connected my ethernet cable directly to my macbook, and the internet is working fine. So is this an issue with my router then?

  • Why won't my macbook pro download some programs?

    I just bought my 15" macbook pro and I need to download a bunch of programs I'm going to be needing for college. I've been trying to download the Adobe Master Collection but every time I click download, it shows up in my downloads but nothing happens when I click download. I've tried moving the file to documents, restarting the mac, and creating another account but nothing works. Can anyone help?

    So this is from a school resource?
    f so then ask the schools IT department why.
    Could be these programs are for Windows and not Mac.
