Macbook Will No Longer Burn.

[garro]

For the last few weeks I've been unable to get my Macbook to burn to disc. I keep getting a communication error between the computer and the hardware. I tried using the burn option in finder as well as downloaded burn software. No luck. I have searched the internet and while there are people who have experienced the same problem their are few solutions offered. I tried reparing permissions through utility and this didn't help either.

Where can I buy an external cd burner which is compatible with mac/tiger. Are all cd burners compatible? Are they expensive?

I had problems burning a few weeks ago. I changed the blank CD's to Sony. Works mostly OK now, although sometimes it will still reject one of the Sony's.

Mac's won't burn with some CD makes.

My burner was able to burn CD-RW discs for a long time after the ability to burn CD-R discs stopped. Hardly a solution to your problem (or an answer to your question ) , but you might want to see if this is the case for you as well.
