Dual Layer Burner For Mac
10.4 supports almost any brand DVD-burner, both single and dual layer. I don't consider it valid argument, someone else can do. Easy FW upgrades can save U lot of dead presidents and hassle My Nec ND-2500 is supported natively in 10.4.
I have: MAT****A DVD-R UJ-85J: Firmware Revision: FCQ5 Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported) Cache: 2048 KB Reads DVD: Yes CD-Write: -R, -RW DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO Media: No However it was not until about 4 months after the warranty expired that I needed/wanted to burn a double layer DVD. I did some research about this drive and found some sites posting online that this drive had some known issues of not being able to burn double layer DVD's.
You may want to do a spot check to make sure the formulas adjust the first time you do that. Excel for mac copy and paste down autofill. Assuming there is data in an adjacent column, I like to do the following (assume the other column is adjacent to the left of the column to be filled): Select the cell where you wanted to double-click the fill handle.
Sure would be nice if computer makers did recall notices, sort of like how auto makers do. Of course those are only for critical issues. Yeah If I'd have gotten the extended warranty that would have helped too. However, when I called Apple they of course said they could not help me out. How could I remedy this problem? Could I replace the drive myself? I'm not familiar with burning dual layer.
That would have been my first need to do so. Maybe I'm missing something or it is a software problem for all I know. The error I get from Disk Utility, after it goes through preliminary motions, says 'failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.' It is extremely frustrating, and I can't understand why Apple promotes--and sells at significant cost--features such as this that it then doesn't deliver on. Lots of folks are happily burning 2X media using the same drive so let's not put the blame on Apple. Try cleaning the drive first with an optical drive cleaning kit. Kits are sold at most stores which sell computer accessories.
Burning 2X media requires a greater power level than burning a single layer DVD or CD which is why this is usually the first thing to fail. And it shouldn't matter if the media is -R or +R as the drive is capable of burning both.
If cleaning doesn't work, the drive may need to be replaced. Or it's possible it will continue to function to read disks and write to single layer media. Lots of folks are happily burning 2X media using the same drive so let's not put the blame on Apple.
Unfortunately a significant number of Mac people are unhappily experiencing the exact same phenomenon that I've been plagued with, as a Google search on the phrase 'failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media' will quickly reveal. I will try the drive cleaning kit as soon as I can get hold of one. In the many other threads on this problem that I've waded through since posting, such cleaning kits generally seem to be not recommended, whereas some percentage of people have had success using cans of compressed air to blow dust out of the drive. Others have tried all suggestions with no joy. 'Blame' not withstanding, of course I hold Apple accountable for selling me a device that does not work as advertised.
They have my money; I don't have the functionality I paid extra for.

They have my money; I don't have the functionality I paid extra for. Simple.I don't think it's anything to do with the cleanliness of the drive. I believe this to be strictly related to a software issue. I've had the same thing trying to burn a DL ISO to a disc with Disk Utility, only to flip over to Toast and have it work perfectly. Or, sometimes if I cold boot the machine, it works in Disk Utility as well. Another recurring theme seems to be heat causing problems.
Might that account for your cold boot successes? Some Mac Book owners have reported success by wedging paper or something that moves the drives slightly away from main source of heat, but I don't see any way to accomplish that on the iMac. When I say 'cold boot', I'm referring to shutting the machine down (powering off) and then turning back on. Not necessarily giving it enough time to cool down, just booting it without a warm restart.
