Hi. Recently when I try to burn iPhoto pictures to a disc, I get the following response:"The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry." Can this be fixed?
Mac OS X (10.6.5)
Hello Dana,
Thank you for providing all the information about what is going on with the burning issue you are experiencing with iPhoto. I found some resources that I think might help:
I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac:
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
- 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 the computer.
You can find the full article here:
