My problem is that all of a sudden I find that I cannot burn a CD. I am using the same brand of CD's that I have always used. I insert a blank CD and then I get the usual dialog box asking me to prepare the disc. I do that and then copy the files over to the CD. Once that happens and I burn the CD and it gets about 2/3's of the way through the verification stage and then the dialog box comes back up saying I need to prepare the CD again. This keeps going on... preparing, burning, verification and then the dialog box comes up again.
Is there an upgrade that I missed somewhere or a preference that may be corrupted and needs to be tossed ?
Robert,
There is an important update for mac owners with the superdrive purchased before a certain date on apple's website. Go to
www.apple.com and click the link to see if it applies to you.
This simple download might solve all your problems. You may also try resetting the "pram" on your computer. Restart your computer and before the grey screen pops up, press "Command, Option, P, R" all at the same time . . . wait to hear 3 or 4 startup chimes, allow the machine to boot-up normally. . . then try and burn a disc while crossing fingers on both hands.
Hope this helps. Good luck!!
cheers,
brian
