Hi, So, I am trying to burn a disk for my girlfriend, but my Failbook keeps spitting my disks out. Blank or not. And, it won't erase my cd-rw's either. It's really making me mad. how can this be fixed?
Got a tip for us?

A) You're iBook has a DVD burner on it, correct? Not all iBooks came with DVD burners (my 14" only had the combo drive, the superdrive was an option when I bought it)
B) You could try to blow the drive out with compressed air. Sometimes the drive heads will get dusty enough to cause some burning problems (like being able to read discs and burn CDs but NOT being able to burn DVDs).

It still works, as it opens Movies and cd's . I do have a burner, and I was actually burning stuff to dvds a few weeks ago. I will try the compresser idea.. Thanks!
Well, it's got nothing to do with my drive, as I just replaced it w/ a working drive because the compressor idea didn't work.
