MY Pioneer Blu Ray burner BRD-RW 206D does not work and I get this message (The disc can’t be used because the disc drive is not supported (error code 0x80020025). I have the last firm ware update in it. It worked fine in Mountain Lion but not in Mavericks.
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9), A DVD burner and Blu Ray burner in
No one having Blu-ray burner issues. Mavericks killed Epson, killed my Blu-ray burner, killed my MOTU 424e card and who knows what else, Mavericks *****.
Whatever Blu-ray software you are using, you may need to check the developer's website for a software update that will make the software compatible with OS X Mavericks.
Same here. Since Mavericks, my Pioneer BRD-RW 206 does not work either. And the OS does not even recognize the drive. Nothing I can do yet. Pretty bummed.
The player may not be recognized by the Mac until you update any driver and player/burner software.
Plus, you, also! need to actually insert a disc into the drive for the Mac to actually mount the drive and the disc.
My driver/ firmware is 1.04 and the latest one is 1.06, but I need to use windows to do the updtae, it is not like drivers for printers. The drive shows up some times now, some times it works, some times it shows up but does not work, and some times it does not show up, each time I restart the computer it is a roll of the dice.
Mine doesn't work in Mavericks either...luckily I didn't kill my Mountain lion boot drive....Have a dual boot just in cse things go awry! Any help is appreciated....
MichelPM...I'd love to insert a disc..but when the computer won't recognize the drive...you can't open it to insert it..
I have the newer model the BDR-208D which was listed as compatible with the Mac before Mavericks and installed before I updated the OS.
Under Mavericks it does seem to work so that's a plus but every now and again the system seems to forget it is there and suddenly it's like I have no burner at all.
I used to get random "You have inserted a DVD what would you like to do with it" messages which when responded to seems to cause the drive to go missing so I turned off all those alerts in the CDs & DVDs control panel. Seems to have less issues now but seems like if an older piece of software goes looking for a DVD drive it can cause the Drive to go missing.
Just checked now and despite having used it a hour ago it is now not showing up. 😟
Same problem. It's a Mavericks issue as far as I'm concerned as it occured with a clean install of Mavericks on the same machine on a seperate partition. No problem on Mountain Lion.
My symptoms:
Just found a workaround to at least get the drive recognized.
Will revise / update as I work with it more.
Mavericks lost track of the BD drive at some point. Might've been after a restart.
The workaround I described worked to find it again.
Definitely an OS (Finder?) related problem.
I'm experiencing the same here, after Mavericks upgrade:
Drive not appearing in eject menu button, alt-eject on keyboard causes a dialog to pop-up: "The disc can’t be used because the disc drive is not supported (error code 0x80020025)".
About this Mac -> More Info... BD appears in SATA drive list.
Can anybody verify if Toast (or any other 3rd party burner) can access the BD ?
Ever wondered why Mavericks was released for free?
This way we cannot even protest for being used as beta testers... 😠
Similarly to Chad, rebooting seems to find it for a while. But it "gets lost" - is the best description I can muster - every now and then. It's totally random. Somedays it's there all day. Other days it's gone by 10am.
Rebooting always finds it again.
To answer alsand61Toast will work with it. Although I've yet to burn a blu-ray disk. But I have done DVD-Rs and CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
Also like alsand61 when it has dissappeared, I can also still see it in the More Info.
Is there any app or script that will poll SATA devices and remount ones that have unmounted??

Yes, following Chad's advice (i.e. boot from ML, insert non blank disk, reboot in Mavericks) I had the BD recognized and working... For a while, at least.
Then it stopped working altogether. It still appeared in the "eject" menu, though.
Rebooting finds it again.
And it even survives putting the machine to sleep.
I have now disabled "Put hard disks to sleep..." in the Energy Saver prefpane.
I'll let you know if it helps...
Same problems as Chad---Same Mac Pro! However today..the BD was good to go, but no superdrive!!!!
Hi, everyone
just wanted to report I've been 🙂successfully🙂 using my Pioneer BDR-208D for a couple of days now with no further problems.
I power-cycled and put to sleep the MacPro a few times, and burned a few DVDs and a couple of BD-RE disks.
So, to summarize my experience:
What I did:
Hope this helps...
I am also having sucess now that I have Disabled Hard Disk Sleep.
Seems like that is the solution. Still have the occasion weirdness, like the eject opening the lower one now and again instead of Option Eject for the lower. But otherwise I think I can live with it. Hopefully updates to Mavericks will improve not worsen the situation.
Pioneer Blue ray burner does not work in a Mavericks.
