I have been burning discs to make music cds for ages. Now I get a notice " disc burner or software not found" and so I can't do it.

I have been burning my playlists to discs to make music CDs for ages. Now I get a message that says "Disc Burner or Software not found". I recently got an update. Could that be it? What can I do?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Another help source (if you haven't already done so).


Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd

Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.


You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.

At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.

This will bring up the Help Menu.

Make sure the DVDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.
