My G3 800MHz iBook used to be able to burn/erase CD-RWs just fine, but ever since I updated to 10.2.4, it always gives me "MEDIUM ERROR"s. I've even updated to 10.2.6 and it still doesn't work! It won't even burn CD-Rs anymore. It'll erase CD-RWs just fine, but all hell breaks loose when I try to burn something.

I've already tried Roxio's Toast Titanium 5.2.1 and have the same problem. My iBook's warranty just expired, so I'm really hoping it isn't the hardware...:eek:

Is anyone else having this problem? Oh yeah, I've also tried cdrecord from Fink, but same issues there. (An yes, I tried using a brand, spankin' new CD-RW. Same problem.)

Thanks!

You hAve tried band new CD-RW... but what brand? It could be that you have a bad bunch of blank cd's.

When you updated --- did you check for firmeware updates? I know that there was a superdrive firmware update for certain models... Go to Apple'w Web site - check out firmware. There was an alert about the CD/bruner drives.
