Superdrive DOES NOT WORK ON MY NEW MACBOOK...

[alchemistmuffin]

Okay, I bought a new Macbook, and I also bought Toast....

When I tried to burn my first CD, this error came up and I could not burn my disc:

Is this a Superdrive Problem? I tried disk permission repair and disk repair, but to no avail.....

 

[iwuzbord]

is the superdrive reading disks?
are you sure that its a superdrive, not a combodrive?

Yes, it is superdrive...

Yes, It reads disk.....

 

[Ntombi]

Why are you wasting time? Bring it back.

 

[Bobioden]

I get that error with Toast if I am using a bad disk. Did you try a diferent disk?

Don't be so hasty. There is a possibility that its a poor CD.

Did you buy 10 CD's for $2 in Walmart?

He is burning a Cd so a combo would be fine.

The drive is faulty - back to the AppleStore I think........

 

[alchemistmuffin]

Tried burning to a DVD this time, worked fine, up to the end....

Should I go to the Genius Bar and find out what's wrong?

 

[MacDawg]

Can you burn from the Finder without Toast?

Woof, Woof - Dawg

 

[iwuzbord]

yeah. the genius bar will tell you whats up. but before that, the apple hardware test.

Are you moving your Macbook while you are burning? I do get this message if I bump or move the MPB while burning a DVD.

No, I did not move my macbook at all....

I did a diagnostics, and said there was no problem....

So, I should talk to the genius and find out what's going on....

Sense errors are usually bad media - try the previous suggestions burning files from the finder or disc utility.

I had nothing but problems with Toast 9 and went back to Toast 8......

What brand of media are you using ?

 

[Applespider]

Call Applecare and they'll walk you through resetting PRAM etc

I had a problem with my iMac's Superdrive where it wouldn't let me burn a DVD. Spoke to a v helpful guy who had me try various things and it started working and haven't had a problem since.

 

[AppleNewton]

try using disk utility or finder or itunes to burn some items to the same medium and a different type of discs.

toast can be rather particular with some media it seems, in my experience atleast

 

[comptr]

Why fix a new computer when the store will replace it if you take it back. Don't brother fixing it take it back they will take care of you.

 

[alphaod]

Your discs could be the issue. Try different discs.

I've had that error because and a difference brand solved the issues.

 

[khunsanook]

take it back asap. the superdrives are junk. I'm on my third.
