How do I make a Disk image and burn an install Disk

How do I make a Disk image and burn an install Disk, Ive tried it a couple of times, but will not boot up.

Thanks for getting back to me, Yes it does, it came with the machine.
Hi pfhannon,
Does the original Install disk that you are copying,
boot your computer?
You may be successfully making a copy of a disk that
is not suitable for your machine.

IDVD Hanging On Disk Image AND Burning

I've been having this problem since upgrading to 10.4.7 (I have iDVD 6.02). I can't burn a DVD and I can't save a disk image. iDVD just hangs up and quits or it just hangs and becomes non-responding.
I restarted and repaired permissions over six times and even tried it running no other applications but iDVD and still have the same issue.
Help!

Hi Leigh:
Did you read the Apple article that Len Goff
suggested?
iDVD appears to be unresponsive when encoding Audio
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302988
It may just take a lot of time to finish. have you
tried burning overnight?
Sue
I set it up Wednesday Night to burn and at 9 am it was still hanging. I force quit iDVD and restarted my Mini and set it up to burn again and when I got home from work it was hung at the Audio encoding again. I repaired permissions and attempted the process again over night and this time the DVD had been ejected but was still blank when I went to play it. I then read the this forum post and trashed the plist, repaired permissions and attempted again and still no luck! I am about to try it again and see what I get when I get home from work!

Disk image successful; burn error due to 'ghost' image

I have burned 100s of DVDs successfully. I always burn them from their disk images. My last project took longer because I ran into what I think is an unusual problem.
I created a disk image and burned a DVD, but then decided there were a couple of places where more edits would make a better movie. I went back to my iMovie, made the edits, and opened up iDVD and created another disk image. Both disk images had had the same name, but that shouldn't have been a problem since the first one had been trashed before the second one was created. When I opened Disk Utility to burn the disk, the disk image (which was on my desktop) appeared in DUs window.
However, when I tried to burn from the disk image, the burn failed at the end....so that the DVD played up to the last 3 min of the movie. The message during the burn was something like 'burning disk 5' but that was not the name of my project. The message at the end was that the burn had failed due to error 00000000500--(not sure of the exact number of 0s). The disk was ejected with the burn almost complete.
I had not had this occur before, and I don't know why it happened. I have no idea what or where 'disk 5' is. That is not how I name my projects and have never seen that. The disk image I was burning from had the name of '1995 Part 2' and, after the disk was ejected, that disk image could not be deleted from Disk Utility. It seemed to be referencing some 'disk 5' file.
I subsequently had a successful burn by creating another disk image (found more edits to tweak) and naming it something different so I could be sure to burn the correct one since the other image was still in DU.
This time it all worked, but the first disk image in Disk Utility's window would not delete. I finally got it out by deleting the other one, closing DU, reopening it and finally it could be deleted.
That 'ghost' file for disk 5 still is a puzzle to me. I would like to know if I did anything to cause it so that I can avoid the problem in the future.

Any chance the first disk image was still mounted on your desktop when you put its .img file into the trash?
Thanks! I think you nailed it!
I had tried playing from the disk image with DVD player first and it played fine, but then I decided to do more edits so I trashed the .img file. I forgot that I had mounted it. When I tried to burn the second disk image, Disk Utility must have still used the first image, even though it had been trashed, because it was still mounted.
However, the icon showing when something is mounted was not there.....until after I had made the final image and then I could eject the mounted disk whose path on DU showed that the .img file was indeed in the trash.
Do you think that would have made its name change to 'disk 5' and would that have caused the burn to stop just 3min short of the end?

IDVD 6, no audio on disk image or burned DVD

Seems I've just been plagued with this problem as well, and the first time I noticed it was after accepting an upgrade from iDVD 6.02 to iDVD 6.04 as well as a firmware update.
Audio from imported .avi files plays fine in the iDVD preview and even played perfectly on disk images and burned DVDs, but now there is only audio in the video I dropped into a background drop zone, and no audio in the two movies. During a second burn, still no audio in the movies but audio for the first 5 seconds of the loop of the background movie. I should mention, prior to updating, these .avi files were burned perfectly. So this is very erratic.
I used appzapper to remove iDVD 6.04 and reinstalled 6.02, but the problem persists. I'm wondering *if any others have experienced the same issue after some form of "upgrade"*. If there was only some way to revert back to the old firmware I would. A few other updates took place as well, but I can't remember exactly what was done.
Quite ridiculous for updates which are supposed so solve issues, just create them.
Any new fixes for this apparently popular problem? Is there a way to revert back to my old firmware?

Have you updated to QuickTime 7.1.2?
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

How can I use my Mac G3 (OS 9.2.2) to make Windows disk images and compress them into Windows stuffed archives?

I have a collection of old Windows diskettes, 800 K and 1.4 MB. I want to make disk images (or whatever is the Windows equivalent) and compress them into Windows stuffed archives. I want Windows users to be able to download them, expand the stuffed archives, extract the disk images, and use the softsare on old Windows computers. I need to do the work on a Power Macintosh beige G3 Tower using OS 9.2.2. What software can I get to do it?

To Jan, Greetings
Thank you for your message and for your suggestions.
Is WinZip a Mac application that makes compressed files that can be opened on a Windows computer? If so, then do you have any notion where I could find a version old enough to run on OS 9.2.2?
I noticed that DropStuff 6.0, which I use on my G3 Tower, has an option to make compressed files that are self-extracting on Windows. Do you know if that works? I suppose that I could make such a file and then find somebody with a Windows computer to test if for me.
Yes, I could (shudder) get an old Windows computer somewhere, learn to use it, and do the project that way. Do you know if the old versions of Windows include disk image programs and file compression programs? Or, would I need to buy some old software?
Thank you for the information about the size of the diskettes. As you've probably noticed, I don't know very much about Windows things.
Sincerely,
Frontiersman

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

Disk Images and External Drives - PLEASE HELP

Hi all,
I've got to a point where i can't afford to keep buying expensive drives to work form with Final Cut Pro X so decided to just work from several high spec drives and then back them up on other cheaper drives, reformat the high spec ones and start again.
Not really understanding how disk imaging works I hoped I could carbon copy mountable and read and writeable drives (in this case a thunderbolt lace SSD) on to a cheaper mass storage, wipe it and start again. I hoped it would then appear on the drives top level just as the drive appears on my desktop, and that I could access it if needed or port it back to a single drive at a later date? Is this possible? Can anyone help? So far everything I've tried has failed.
One thought I did have was to create several partitions on the cheaper mass drive and duplicate it on to there? But I can't find any help or instruction for this online and need to make sure its write before I go deleting old projects.
Attached are a picture of what I have (the disk image file) and what I was hoping to create (a mountable replica of a working drive on an external HD)
Any help greatly appreciated.
Robin

You can research the terms disk image and back up for several hours. That might not help.
None of the back up routines I am aware for for video and large media files use any compression or bundling systems like .dmg. I think your best bet is to make one-to-one copies of your files to your cheap drives. If you need the older projects, you copy them back to your working drives. That's pretty much how it's always been unless you are have a nice NAS RAID with mirroring to another rack of drives.
The problem with cheap mass storage is no that it's unreliable. It's just not QUITE as reliable as more expensive systems. Having a copy of your work on a disk that might or is likely to fail is almost the same as not having a backup at all. but there is a point of diminishing returns for all of us in this business. This trend toward 4k and 8k, and FCPX's inability to manage media efficiently, means we all must add TB of storage for every project. A friend of mine includes a couple of TB drives in his fees. The client pays for and gets the drives.

Disk images and storage space.

Dear members:
After a disk image is created and saved, how much storage space does one need to work with it ?
Let's say I create a 10 GB disk image that is saved in an encrypted form. Once I try to open it I have first to provide a password and then the drive corresponding to this image mounts to the desktop. Once the drive is mounted, since I have the disk image and the drive, does it mean that I actually have 20 GB added to my desktop folder or both files combined still take up only 10 GB of storage space ?
One other question:
I have saved a disk image to an external Firewire hard disk. When I click on this disk image the drive mounts on the desktop. Is there a way to open this disk image so that the drive is actually mounted on the same external disk where the image is or does it always mount on the desktop independent of where the image is ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

Hi, Joseph.
1. You wrote: "In case I wanted to would it be possible to create a disk image on another drive and also mount the disk from this image on that same drive ? For instance, can I create a disk image on an external Firewire drive and then mount the disk from this image on this same external disk ?"I'm not quite sure what you're saying here. I thought I addressed this.
You can create a disk image and save it on an external drive. Double-clicking that disk image (saved on an external drive) will mount it, with the mount point being in /Volumes, same as every other mounted volume on your computer, as discussed in my prior post.
2. You wrote: "On another discussion I initiated one poster said that when creating a bootable external drive it is important to uncheck the square for "Ignore Ownership". I just installed OS X 10.4 on a LaCie 120 GB external Firewire drive and after the installation process noticed that the "Get Info" panel shows the box "Ignore Ownership" checked. Is there a problem ?"You do not want "Ignore Ownership" checked on a bootable volume, i.e. a volume on which you installed Mac OS X. That installation may not work properly.
3. You wrote: "In case there is, shouldn't OS X have unchecked this option as it installed itself on this particular drive ?"I don't know. I've never tried installing Mac OS X on an external volume that had "Ignore Ownership" checked before installation.
4. You wrote: "What does the option "Ignore Ownership" mean and why/when should I use it ?"See "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: I don't have permission to use a disk. The only time I would use this feature is if I had a volume on an external drive, e.g. FireWire drive, that needed to be accessed and written-to by multiple users of the computer to which that external drive was connected. The volume in question should contain only data — not a bootable volume, i.e. one with Mac OS X installed — and one should also be prepared that anyone could add, delete, or modify files on that volume since permissions are ignored when "Ignore Ownership" is enabled.
FYI: When asking multiple questions, numbering them individually is helpful. Then someone can respond by number to link the answer to the question, vs. quoting the text as above.
Good luck!

How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

Hello
How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

Hello Jan,
You can limit the size of system log.
The size of the application server's System Log is determined by the
following SAP profile parameters. Once the current System Log reaches
the maximum file size, it gets moved to the old_file and and a new
System Log file gets created. The number of past days messages in the
System Log depends on the amount/activity of System Log messages and the
max file size. Once messages get rolled off the current and old files,
they are no longer retrievable.
rslg/local/file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOG<SYSNO>
rslg/local/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOGO<SYSNO>
rslg/max_diskspace/local 1000000
rslg/central/file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJ
rslg/central/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJO
rslg/max_diskspace/central
Refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/c7/69bcbaf36611d3a6510000e835363f/content.htm
for explanation of profile parameters.you can reduce the size of system log using rslg/max_diskspace_local and rslg/max_diskspace_central
But you can't reduce the size of job log files on OS

How can I make Use of PS and Ai (offer) in spite of running Windows Vista ?

Once you have signed up, you could - in theory - choose "other version" under the icon on the CC website and install CS6, but I'm not sure if that works for this special offer or only for "full" CC. Anyway, it seems simple enough to upgrade to Win 7 or Win 8 and perhaps you were planning on starting fresh, anyway...

I want to upgrade my 2007 Mac desktop to 10.5 Leopard. I am currently running on 10.4.11. When I put the leopard disk into the drive all it does is make a weird noise and then spits the disk right back out. It doesn't do this with any other discs, only this software. Is it still possible to update this computer?

Yes. Try Amazon.
Before you do upgrade to Snow Leopard, make sure your Mac meets the requirements.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Make sure the disc you tried using doesn't have any fingerprints or smudges on it. The optical drive can't read the disk otherwise.
If your Mac won't read the disc, might be a good idea to rule out any problems with the startup disk BEFORE trying to upgrade the system.
