Write error with CD drive

Hi!
I've been trying to burn a cd from itunes. I keep getting the error message - medium write error.
It burns part of the song list then ejects with this error.
Is this too many songs or something is wrong with the cd. I have tried several brands and none work.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply.
I haven't tried using Toast or Disk Utility but will do so.
I did make an appt. at the apple store to get it checked out. I went through several pages of the forum last night and saw this was an issue many people were having and did require the drive being replaced.

    The optical drive has probably failed. It's a fairly common thing with these slim SuperDrives. Does it read any discs you put into it? You can try resetting the SMC and pram but I'll be surprised if it helps.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • A communication error with disc drive

    A communication error with disc drive and burn folder on macbook will not let me burn discs.  Is this a program error kind of thing or just parts problems?
    White Macbook using OS 10.6.8

    There is a chance that the optical drive &/or its cable have failed
    so a replacement, perhaps in the form of a third-party quality drive
    may be in order. The Apple USB Superdrive does not directly work
    with older computers that have internal optical drives; but there are
    good ones by other makers, owners of older MacBook portables use.
    {There may also be a Console error message failure-related code.}
    Or see about the ifixit guide to repair that model MacBook & a
    replacement part from OWC, to survey efforts & costs to DIY.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Error with OCI8 driver installing sendmail/javamail

    Hi to All,
    From Dos window I run the command:
    loadjava -user sys/pwd@name_db -resolve -synonym activation.jar
    This is the first step in order to install a Sendmail package based on javamail, but I have this error:

    Gaetano,
    I see you took my advice when I replied to your Error with OCI8 driver installing sendmail/javamail.
    However, it doesn't look like you studied the Oracle documentation for loadjava because the command you posted doesn't look right at all.
    Please refer to the Java Developer's Guide for the correct syntax and usage of the loadjava command.
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

  • Read/Write errors with FileVault-protected folders

    Hi-
    New to Mac OS, etc. I have been using the new MacBook Pro for about six weeks, and have now encountered my third show-stopper with a FileVault protected user profile. Each time has basically required a from-scratch removal and replacement of the user account. Now I can't ignore it, since I can't go through this again. Before you tell me (as so many websites do) to drop FileVault, I can't. I'm under a government mandate to encrypt "all user data." I'm open to other approaches, but this should "Just Work," no?
    Over time, I start seeing various hiccups in accessing files. These seem to present as longer and longer beachballing inside applications which access the disk (oddly, Firefox seems to be the one most commonly affected; then Mail.app seems to have problems either with file locking, or with bits of one email showing up in another, or much more random lockups with beachballs...)
    I have no idea how to troubleshoot... nothing obvious shows up in logs or console (ask me if you know of something in particular to look for.)
    This time, I decided to copy the contents of the sparse disk image off to a backup before trying to disable FileVault, since that failed completely last time resulting in significant loss of data (mostly emails that had not yet been backed up). I can now reproduce a problem predictably ... looking for help. In trying to copy the entire contents of my user profile, I get about a few hundred megs (into an 18 GB sparse disk) and bump into a file copy error. It happens in the same file every time. I get a dialog in finder that says "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "xxx.mp3" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)" xxx.mp3 is obviously a real file name, I've elided here.
    Now, I try to copy the same file from the terminal using cp, to copy to some stable place like the root of the current (administrator) user's directory. In this case, the system goes somewhat nonresponsive -- big pause at the command line, other applications beachball, mouse works fine, but some parts of other applications non-responsive. Ctrl-C seems to work, after a time, and things go back to normal. "cat xxx.mp3" has the same response.
    I have run the Disk Utilities over the sparse image in question, and they report nothing wrong or nothing to fix.
    Help! The only comment I find on the support forums for error -36 has to do with SMB, not in the picture here.
    JA

    As I stated earlier, "The -36 is an i/o error. This means either the file, the directory or the data sectors are damaged."
    This message can be generated at the source end or at the destination end when you are copying a file.
    The copy process can give the same message if it has trouble reading a damaged sector at the read location or when it tries to write a file to damaged sectors at the destination location.
    You have told me that disk utility is telling you that the source directory and data sectors are fine.
    Verify disk is not perfect. There are literally hundreds millions of sectors on a drive and it would take hours to check each sector so verify disk is usually an adequate scan but not infallible.
    You say you have isolated the issue to corrupt files.
    You are blaming the file corruption on file vault when that is not necessarily true.
    That is why I had asked you to try to make a copy of the Mail folder to the desktop.
    The internal drive is verified.
    If you had trouble with that copy I was going to go with data corruption.
    The symptom you describe at the beginning was longer and longer processing times with a spinning cursor.
    The main reason for that is some kind of conflict that doesn't allow processing to proceed/complete.
    This can be due to page faults, permissions issues, font conflicts or corruption.
    Open font book and choose all fonts.
    Look in the second column and see if any of the fonts have a black dot to the right.
    If they do then select a font in the second column go to the edit menu and select all.
    Then select resolve duplicates from the edit menu.
    Now with the second column still selected go to the file menu and select validate fonts.
    Check to see that all fonts have a check marked circle.
    Any fonts that have any other designation should have their box checked and the remove checked choice selected.
    Data that you keep bringing back could be causing further corruption.
    The data that you have saved can be saved on an external device if you end up having to zero your drive and reinstall.
    You should then reinstall just the apple software that came with your computer and update.
    Turn on file vault without bringing back in data or extra applications.
    Then add applications one at a time if you are not having problems.
    As to data safety you can encrypt the data stored on the external device by putting it in a folder(s) and choosing to create an encrypted disk image of it.
    You do that in disk utility by selecting the folder and choosing new from the file menu.
    The choose disk image from folder then choose image.
    Then encryption - then save.
    You will still be able to unlock the encrypted disk image and get data you may need.
    Document what you are adding back to the system if the cleanly reinstalled system is stable.

  • Install problem Error with Z drive

    Our IT guys configure our machines with a Z drive as a network share.   Any ideas how to resolve the conflict with PE9 install.
    Thanks

    I did not pick the Z drive for install.  I always pick the C drive if given the option.  But PE9 just went to work on its own and told me it could not install to the Z drive... there is a known issue posted here along these lines, however, so I think Adobe is on to it... of course i had to install as a trial version on a second machine to test the disk burning...then I have to solve the install problem, so I can install the license on the machine with the install problem.... all a big catch 22.  Here's the link on the install issue...

  • Error with CD Drive, "Disk containing no volumes"

    I hope I'm in the right place. My Mac laptop is about 5 years old now.
    Never had any problems with the Cd drive before.
    Today I entered a blank cd to burn a playlist on iTunes. And an error message appeared:
    "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To continue with the disk inserted, click Ignore. (With Ignore and Eject buttons)
    I've now tried different Cd's and music albums, and restarted my computer, the message now appears with all Cds.
    Does mean it's probably an internal problem with the Cd drive?
    Would I need a replacement?
    Has this ever happened to anyone else?

    tom: When you insert a blank disc, the message you're seeing is exactly right: by definition, a blank disc contains no volumes at all, so of course your Mac can't read it. After you burn it, the Mac should be able to read it.
    However, if you're getting that message about all discs, including commercially pressed audio and data discs, then either your drive is dirty and needs cleaning or it's defective and needs to be replaced. If I were you, I'd remove the drive from the Powerbook, take its top cover off (4 screws) and blow it out thoroughly with canned compressed air, clean its lenses with a Q-Tip, put it back together and back in place, and test it again. If it still doesn't work then, replace it. New replacements can be had for under $70 that are far more capable than the original drive.
    These instructions are for the DVI Tibooks, which are now 4.5 to 6 years old:
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G4-Ti-DVI/Optical-Drive-Removal/33/7/
    The procedure is very similar for the earlier Tibook models.

    Hi,
    The method getBytes() does not work, and produce the following
    error, when the size is big.
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-21560: argument 2 is null, invalid, or
    out of range
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 458

    Since getchunksize() will also produces the same error as
    getBinaryStream() ('GETCHUNKSIZE' must be declared) therefore, I
    have no idea how to find the best value to chop the data to
    retrieve it, except try and error. The example I am working on
    32000 bytes seems to be the ideal size, and it causes error when
    the size get bigger. I am currently working on a NT server. I
    guess the ideal size can differ from server to server. Does
    anyone has better suggestion to get the ideal size?

  • Cross Post::  Disk Utility Application - Errors with USB Drive

    I have a 4200 2.5" 100GB Hard Drive in a "portable" configuration that I've used for some time. I had not plugged it into my MBP until today and it seemed to read the drive, but that's about it. I went to Disk Utility to do what I used to call in the PC world a "format" or "fdisk" to get all the stuff off of it and get it setup as a Backup drive for my MBP. Essentially, the drive is now kaput! Actually, what happens is, when I attempt any task in the Disk Utility app, it simply freezes up and no matter how long I wait (I've waited thirty minutes) nothing happens and I'm forced to "force end" to the app. Any ideas on this?
    I am able to take the drive to my XP machine and reformat / repartion the drive, but it will not allow files to be copied over to it in the mac using the NTFS. This also seems odd to me. Any ideas on this one?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I posted a reply to that.
    Explanation:
    I posted originally in the other forum because it is a USB drive issue. I cross posted because it is an Application issue. I probably should have just posted in one or the other!

    Again, this looks like I am missing some components.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
    TB

    Further developments:  As you may note from the error message, DS is looking for com.sap.ide.metamodel.core.services.eclipse in both the C: and the E: drive at the same time.  In fact, this file exists in the E: drive subdirectory listed, so I obviously have an error with two drive designations being concatenated.  Does anyone know how I can change the lookup directory for this dependency (or any dependency)? 
    Thanks,

  • Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

    Hello there,
    I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
    http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
    All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
    The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
    thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
    TL;DR:
    However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
    "The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
    current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
    "athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
    "oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
    The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
    Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
    This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
    doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
    I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors.  I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:

    Thank you for the help!
    EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):

    EDIT2:
    The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
    This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
    it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
    EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
    I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

    So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
    EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
    I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.

    Hi,
    Might be related to the following post Re: Exception "Socket write error" with large BLOB Which release of JDBC drivers are you using? Try using the latest JDBc jars ( ojdbc14.jar).
