Apr 6, 2008 1:05 AMby crittle1,Ok, so I haven't called yet. I need to do that asap.
In the meantime, those dvd's that I said that burned through idvd and worked... well, they have read errors. I was trying to duplicate them on my duplicator and they wouldn't work. I put them in my drive to watch on my mac and the player showed a notice that it was "skipping the damaged area". Back to square one. Has anyone found an answer, or has apple even bothered to fix the problem? 2,400 is a lot to spend on a computer that can't burn a disk! (Which, by the way, doesn't come with a monitor) When I do get around to calling, I'll post their response. -
Apr 7, 2008 4:57 PMby crittle1,I called apple today and the lady was VERY nice.
So here is what she had me do.
please do this at your own risk, she told me not to touch anything else in
this folder. I honestly don't know a whole lot about this type of stuff, so
I just took her advice. It looks like preference lists though.
Go to users > your computer name / user name > library > Preferences > com.apple.finder.plist
She said to delete this file. (It will make a new one in the future on it's own.)
The first dvd+r I tried burned. She advised to keep my burn speed at 8x
I had burned the first one at 16x and it worked.
Post back results. If I start having problems again, I'll post and leave results. -
Apr 26, 2008 6:49 PMby Art4sale2,I tried the advice posted by crittle and it worked for one disc, then would not burn anymore at any speed. How disappointing to buy a new Mac Pro at over $2900 and have a superdrive that doesn't burn.
I have been on the Mac platform and boasted to my PC friends the benefits of the system since 1992. This MAC was purchased after FINALLY convincing my significant other (of 20 years) to get rid of the Windows OS he was comfortable with and free himself of all the problems he constantly was having and "cross over into the light". I now have egg on my face. SHAME ON YOU APPLE! -
Apr 26, 2008 8:15 PMby Art4sale2,Ok. An hour later and I tried to burn some DVD-r (TDK) and they burned with no problems at all. So I opened a new tower of Sony CD-r's (which I admit are more than a year old) and they also had no problem burning so perhaps it was just a bad batch of old CD-R. My apologies to Apple, forgive me, I'm on bended knee and again singing praises your way... -
Apr 27, 2008 1:40 PMby Robert Zieske,I too am having this problem running with 10.4.11 on my G5 iMac. I can burn CDs all day from iTunes, but trying to burn a data disk from the Finder results in this error at about the 8% processed point.
After throwing a few wasted CDs into the garbage, I found this thread and removed the finder plist file listed, and that did allow me to create 1 CD. The very next attempt failed. I trashed the plist file again, but the next CD burn attempt failed with the same 0x8002006e.
So I walked over to my wife's Dell notebook with a flash drive, transfered the data, and burned the disk I needed, first try. -
Apr 29, 2008 2:10 PMby Sam W,The finder.plist thing is very like the cmd-opt-P-R one - it's just throwing away the Finder's preferences and hoping that you'll be throwing away some kind of corrupted setting that's crept in. If it works for you that's great. In my case I've done that and things haven't improved. The drive doesn't recognise CDs at all quite a lot of the time now. I called Apple and they agreed it was probably a hardware fault. I'm now working out the best way to get it to the Apple service agent. Sigh... -
May 21, 2008 9:59 PMby crittle1,My computer is still burning fine since I dumped the plist.
I did have one error come up at 16x speed yesterday. I did some research and found one answer. I don't have the link, but I went to disk utility on my main hard drive and repaired disk permissions.
I immediately inserted a new disk and burned it at 8x speed. It's worked fine since then.
Apple told me to burn at 8x speed to reduce the risk of errors.
If others are have found solutions, please post for those who still need answers.
Thanks -
Jun 10, 2008 12:57 AMby crittle1,I have once again ran across a burn issue, this time with the error
0x80020063
"Disk could not be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc."
Looks as though it's the exact same error masked with a different error code.
I tried to repair permissions again and it didn't work. I dumped the plist
and it didn't work. I will be calling apple again tomorrow to continue this battle.
I'll keep this thread updated.

Jun 19, 2008 4:20 AMby GorjanK,But this is not the way it should be.
I just got the Tracking Servo Error on my MacBook Pro while burning a backup.
I have had more problems/crashes with this brand new (1 week old) MBP than my 2 yrs old Vista Home Premium running Fujitsu-Siemens. I have had great experiences with Apple in the past ten years but this is terrible. I have never had a Windows PC freeze up so many times during one week.
