OS X :: Can MAC OS Be Burned On Multiple CDs

Aug 6, 2009

I have a problem using MAC snow leopard OSX Install DVD since my MAC mini does not contain DVD drive. And I assume external dvd drives do not get mounted properly in MAC unless it is a firewire drive which I do not have.

I am a newbie to MAC

Can we burn the OS onto CDs and use CDs to install? Did anyone ever use CDs to install MAC OS?

I have the .dmg file available too!

MacBook Pro :: Merge Multiple Files And Multiple File Types Into A Single PDF?

Jun 20, 2012

Can I merge multiple files, and multiple file types, into a single PDF with my MacBook Pro?, Can I merger multiple files, and multiple file types, into a single PDF with my MacBook Pro? 

I need to combine word docs, .jpgs, .PDFs, .pptx files from multiple sources into a single PDF.  In the past I've used software such as Nuance but I'm wondering if there's something in the MacBook Pro OS or applications that support this function.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Automator Workflow To TAR Multiple Files In A Single Directory Into Multiple TAR Archives In Succession?

Jun 12, 2012

I have set up an automator service that TAR's a folder into an archive for me and it works quite nicely. Idealy however, I would like to be able to highlight several folders, right click and have automator tar each folder into it's own TAR archive, but do it one by one.  

[Code]...

I'm not 100% sure so I guess it would be a good time to verify, is there a problem with having the system try to TAR multiple folders at one time? If it is not a problem then I guess this discussion itself is pointless and I can simple right click on each folder and select "TAR Folder" and just wait until they're all finished. I would think that it would be ideal for the system to do each one individually and not try to do them all at one time.

ITunes :: Setup Multiple Users With Multiple Devices?

Mar 12, 2012

I'm trying to find the easiest solution to our family music situation.  4 users, 4 devices (ipods, ipad, imac, pc laptops), and 4 different musical song interests.  I'm sure there are millions of households that have the same exact situation.  I want to be able to pull up only my musical library, not my kid's music, and then easily synch it to my ipod.  Everyone in the family wants to do this same thing.  I have spent alot of time trying to search the forums/internet and there does not seem to be one "most popular" solution.  I did setup iCloud for each family member using a different Apple ID than my main Apple ID, and I'm happy that ALL the music shows up on my ipad.  But between iCloud, MobileMe, Home Sharing it all gets very confusing.  Some say to setup multiple computer login accounts, and others say to setup 1 playlist for each family member and synch from that playlist.  

I would think 1 itunes account allows you to easily share a purchased song with 4 users, instead of buying songs twice. 

So here are a few of my questions-

1-Is it best to have only 1 itunes account and then synch all devices off of 1 main computer?   

2-Or since we each have iCloud accounts, will they be able to synch their ipods from their own pc laptop? 

3-And when they synch, what is the easiest way to exclude other users music in itunes? (other than unchecking hundreds of artists) 

4-Or setup 4 separate computer login accounts on the imac and then keep 1 itunes account?  If so, how does this work when they open itunes?

ITunes :: Integrate Multiple Devices For Multiple Users?

May 26, 2012

I have a Mac that my wife and I share.  We own and iShuffle, iPod, iTouch and two iPhones.  My wife's iPhone is her own and my iPhone is through work.  We only have one Apple ID and we share our iTunes.  What do I need to do to make all devices work together on iTunes with relative ease?  Do I need to create multiple Apple IDs?  Can we link them together so we don't have to log in and out of iTunes, yet keep it so that what she does with apps / music on her phone doesn't effect what apps / music I move on my phone?

I just burned a disk image to a Verbatim DVD-DL, using Disk Utility. My MBP 2.3 GHz, 2Gb Ram will NOT read this disk and ejects it, but another newer MBP will indeed read and mount this disk.I restarted the problematic MBP, repaired permissions, and said PLEASE.Still no luck.Before I burn it again with a fresh DVD-DL blank, what could cause this? The DVD drive in this unit works perfectly fine, under normal circumstances.

Hardware :: MacBook Pro - Burned CDs Contain No Data?

Jul 18, 2008

MacBook Pro - Burned CDs contain no data

I have a late 2006 15" C2D MacBook Pro

It was working swimmingly until a couple days ago when I noticed that iTunes and Finder were no longer burning information on to CDs. Finder will burn information on to DVDs, I have not tried burning to DVD from iTunes.

Has anyone run into this problem? Here are the things I've noticed:

1) When burning on full speed, the disc just gets a "media write error"

2) When dropping to slow speed (2x, or lower!), iTunes goes through the burn process, shows the CD in iTunes as having been burned, but when you eject the disc, there is no data. If you look at the disc, there is no data or burning marks, etc.

3) DVDs from finder show burned marks, and will hold data.

Here's what I've changed to my MBP in the last couple weeks:

1) ran iDefrag in order to free up a lot of fragmented free space. Worked great.

2) moved my iTunes music and video to an external Lacie FW800 drive. (I'm moving it all back to the MBP now to see if this is an issue, but when trying to burn files off the actual MBP hard drive, it still doesn't work to CD. The external drive is HFS+)

3) ran BootCamp to get an XP partition (15gb out of 160gb), which is fine (haven't tried burning in XP yet.)

I was able to make a 4-minute movie on iMovie ('06) and burned it to a disc, but the following error message appears (the file is not too large for the disc, which is a DVD+R, 4.7GB).

"The project could not be opened, because the disk is full, the folder is locked, or the folder permission are incorrect.

"If the project is on a CD-ROM, network server, or locked disk, then copy it to your hard drive before opening it.

OS X :: Using Windows Burned Cd-roms With Mac Files?

Dec 7, 2009

A relative of mine has a iMac with OS Leopard or 10.5.8. He does not, however, have internet access. So, for x-mas, I was thinking of downloading (purchasing) some software for him, and ship it on a cd-rom or dvd-rom. As I use a PC (Dell laptop with Blue-Ray dvd burner), I have done some searches on this and they all seem to revolve around bootable discs, disc images and/or are 4+ years old.As I'd like this to run without to much issues, and I can't test it beforehand, what should I be keeping in mind for this process?

Software :: Burned DVDs Will Not Play On Mac

Jun 4, 2008

We have recorded movies from our TIVO to a DVD burner. Once on the hard-drive of the burner we burn them to DVD. Some, actually most will not play on my mac. It seams that the DVD +R never play and the -R sometimes play. The ones that do play open in DVD player, Quick time , and front row. The ones that do not play, do not play in any program. When it appears in the Desk top I click on the disk and it shows the audio files and the video files in separate folders. Also I have noticed that the DVD's that do play have a number appearing under the disk when it shows up on the desk top and the ones that do not play do not.

ITunes :: Play Order On Burned CD?

Feb 21, 2012

Quite often when burning CDs, The order that I have carefully set gets completely scrambled when playlist is burned. This is especially bad due when trying to burn books in my audiobook collection. 

I have looked at a few Apple tech notes about this topic, but all seem to be of versions much older than that currently available. 

Alphabetical orde is not the problem and one suggestion to use a Song command to set tracks in the play order, doesn't work since Song command.

MacBook Pro :: Burned CD Won't Read In Superdrive?

Apr 7, 2012

When I was discharged from the hospital recently, they gave me a disc with all of my x-rays.  Unfortunately, the disc won't read in my MBP.  It inserts just fine, spins for a second, but never actually mounts on the desktop.  When I eject the disc, I see the cd mount image briefly appear on the desktop before the disc pops out. 

how I can get this disc to mount without pulling out my crusty windows laptop?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: View Pictures Burned To A Dvd?

Apr 28, 2012

I've been reading other support sites discussing this topic and I have yet to see anything that solves this issue. I have a DVD from a photographer with pictures on it.  It works on a PC and a Mac running snow leopard. Lion WILL NOT read this DVD.  It tells me it is a recordable DVD but does not show the pictures.  I am highly annoyed that upgrading to this OS has created this issue. I don't want to go back to Snow Leopard just to view this DVD (and I don't know how to revert back to it either).  I also don't want to put it on my ancient PC desktop just to view the pictures. My DVD player is just fine.  It will play movies but not recognize the picture DVD.

Intel Mac :: How To View Photos Burned On DVD

May 28, 2012

I have burnt photos from iPhoto to a dvd using the iphoto burn programme. I used a dvd as I have a couple of hundred I wanted to burn. Now I would like to view them on the computer. As soon as insert the dvd, iPhoto opens and there is a section in the lefthand column called Shared. Under this heading is the name of the file I copied to the dvd. When I click on their name, the dvd's contents are displayed in iphoto and I can view them. 

When I click on the dvd's icon on the desktop, I get a window with a picture of a folder, under which it says it contains 4 items. I clicked on the folder icon and it opens a new window showing 4 options:

Database
Masters
Previews
Thumbnails

Clicking on each one produces a variety of results, but nothing so simple as starting to show the pictures. My question is: How can I simply watch the pictures? Do I have to watch them in iphoto or is there another way?

ITunes :: No Titles In  Burned Audio Cd?

May 31, 2012

Using itunes 10.6.1 and burning a playlist to 3 cd's in audio format the finished cd's have no song totles just track #'s. Thought I might have set preferences wrong, checked and seemed right but a second burn turned out the same. Last year I burned 12 cd;s in audio format to fill my auto cd cartridge and all had track names and artist. Is this just another feature or lack of in the newest version of I tunes? They are random songs so I can't even look up the album. The songs are to be used at a retirement party so they need a list of which song goes with a little skit.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Burned DVD Showing As Blank

OS X thinks my disc (containing several files) is blank when it isn't. The disc was originally burned on a Windows machine however I used it on my MBP last night and it worked fine.However today I'm trying it on my iMac but with no luck. From searching the internet this seems to be a very common problem with no solution. Has anyone else found a way around it?

OS X :: Multiple Burn Errors With Multiple Programs?

May 7, 2009

I'm on a Powermac G.5 dual 1.8 with an upgraded superdrive running 10.5.6

About 3 days ago I noticed that I couldn't burn a dvd using Roxio's Toast 10. I would receive a medium write error.

I tried a second time with the same results.

I then moved to itunes which I have updated to the fullest version and tried to burn a playlist to cd and also received a medium write error.

Finally I tried to burn the original dvd using disk utility and it almost worked up until it hung on finishing. The funny thing about the run with disk utility was that the disk played in my home dvd player with no problems despite quitting the burn prematurely.
