Using Roxio Toast Titanium with 550 PowerBook

Hello eveyone.
I recently installed Tiger and am now on V. 10.4.7
My PB has no cd or dvd burner so about 3 years ago, I bought a burner and installed Roxio Toast Titanium 5.1.2. All went OK - until Tiger.
After the Tiger install, I can't get my Toast to open. This means I can use my burner - an ez quest connected with firewire - to burn a cd from iTunes but I cannot burn any of my iPhoto pics.
Anyone had a similar problem? How do I fix it?? Should I just buy and install the latest from Roxio - their Media 8 I think?
Any help would be great!

Ouch! Well, at least you know you should have.
Is reparing perms a big thing?
It's a big thing in that it needs to get done, say like changing your oil. But like the oil, it's not a big thing to do.
Can I go wrong and make things worse?
I can't even imagine how. It's a normal, supposed-to-be performed thing.
Open Applications:Utilities:Disk Utility, select your HD on the left side, click on Repair Permissions at the bottom, wait a few minutes until it's finished, quit DU, and you're all set.
Also, I'd guess that you don't run Background Maintenance; I'd strongly recommend it (I like MacJanitor because it's so easy and it's freeware).
Not to worry, this all normal/routine stuff.

Importing AVCHD video archived onto DVDs using Roxio Toast ?

Can Final Cut Express import AVCHD video that has been archived onto DVDs using Roxio Toast 10 Titanium? The video is originally shot on an AVCHD camcorder (Canon HF-10), then burned into DVDs preserving the AVCHD files using Roxio Toast Titanium. I'm just wondering if you can simply insert the DVDs and import the AVCHD files into FCE. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

The only thing that matters is that the entire folder structure is preserved from the chip. If the software is picking out the video files then it will not work. The whole folder structure which is a data wrapper for the media is needed by FCE. It doesn't matter if you use Toast or Disk Utility to make the data disc.

Using Roxio Toast / Toast 6 Titanium??

How can I break .avi files into parts using Roxio Toast 6.0 so I can burn it onto a DVD and the file will fit?
I've tried searching in 'manuals' but it had no results.

The Roxio web site seems a bit sketchy on tutorials, but that's the kind of information
that'd be handy. Some Toast versions where more troublesome in file conversions than
others. I have Toast but don't use it, so I'm of no direct helpful experience in this regard.
I did a search and found references to tutorials online, but nothing at the Roxio site; so
if there is a user compiled tutorial out there, that'd be a good thing to know. A Google
result of 'Roxio Toast tutorial' has some near misses. Try http://www.google.com/mac

Roxio Toast 10 with Tivo for iPhone 3.0

I am using Roxio Toast 10 to transfer TV shows from my TIVO to my macbook pro which then converts to .m4v files to sync with iphone. The first few shows transfered/converted and synced up to iphone perfect with itunes. The past few days I have tried again and get an error message saying "the files did not sync because they can't be played on the iphone". I am beyond frustrated as they should be able to be played and I am getting this error. Any suggestions? Can this be a 3.0 glitch?

Double check the post-processing size to make sure they fit the video requirements and they're not too large and in the correct picture format.
Just a guess...but will the converted files play on any other Apple devices like a Video IPod or Apple TV?

Has anyone used ROXIO TOAST II for burning DVD

Has anyone used ROXIO TOAST II for setting up intro and burning to DVD. I used to do this in IDVD which has been abandoned in the Maverick

Just to say that that I've tested iDVD on 10.9 and it works for me. It's a discontinued program of course, and hasn't been supported for several years, but I don't think it runs any differently on 10.9 than it did on say, 10.6.
However…can't help you with Toast because I don't use it.

CPU running over 100% using Roxio Toast

Hello,
I am using Roxio Toast and noticed that songs are skipping, I checked my CPU and it is going over 100%, when this happens.
My activity monitor show no other programs are running.
Any idea why my computer is running over 100% on one single program?
Thank you,
Bmac

single threaded and can't be broken up. Most likely written before hyper-threading and not optimized. Don't feel too bad, Apple had trouble also in 2009 and hadn't caught on and had audio code in that would spike processor core and overhead the system and wasn't rectified in 10.5.7+ but took 10.6.2+ to work around.
So what version are you using and is this the latest? And what about any other processes or something? A system can't run w/o lots of other processes, even if you aren't running a main foreground program, plug-ins, background, they all do matter.
My guess is like every thread almost, more input is needed about your system.
By itself it is just being inefficient.

If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

Roxio Toast Titanium 6.1 cannot see superdrive in MacBook Pro 17"

Hi Folks,
My superdrive worked perfectly fine with Toast Titanium 6.1, burning Cd's,Dvd's,dual layer Dvd's without any issues.
But just recently Toast has informed me that it cannot find a recorder.
here is the details of my superdrive as listed by System Profiler:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J:
Firmware Revision: FAV1
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:
Media Type: CD-ROM
Blank: No
Erasable: No
Overwritable: No
Appendable: No
I am currently trying to get Roxio suipport to resolve the issue but no luck so far.
I have uninstalled & re-installed the Toast software,repaired permissions,the works but stiil Toast cannot see the Superdrive.
The only thing I can think of is I installed a recent firmware update for the MacBook Pro & maybe that had something to do with it.
I also don't think that updating to the latest version of Toast 8 will resolve the issue either.
Remember that the Superdrive was working just fine with Toast.
I have searced the froums & apple support documents to no avail.
The Toast site is not much help either.
Anybody have any ideas or a similar problem.
Thanks
fargione

My problem has been solved!
I have carried out a complete re-install of the Os & I am right back up to OS 10.4.10.
Al the available updates have been installed & Toast 6.1.1 works just fine & sees the superdrive without any problems.
I think I have worked out what caused Toast to break.
Sometime back I was advised to run an app called Monolingual.
It is a utility that removes unecessary language resources from the os & reclaims disk space.
My advice is to live with the extra language's & avoid Monolingual.
Once again thank you all for your help.

Roxio Toast Titanium

I am trying to burn 3.2 GB (7 hours) of videos onto a 4.7 GB dvd. Using Roxio, I tried to created a dvd-video, but was told that I needed 10.2 GB of free memory and I only had 4.38. What determines how much video you can put onto a 4.7 GB dvd? Would a 8.5 GB dual layer disc work? Why would my video fit onto a divx dvd, but not onto a dvd-video? Any help would be appreciated.

Of course they are copyrighted but it is legal to
make copies for your personal viewing as long you're
not stripping any copy protection.
Really, where do you find that support?
I read the legislation.
Can you legally make an AAC track from an audio CD track you have and copy it to your iPod? When you record a TV show with a VCR or DVD recorder are you allowed to legally keep it on your shelf and watch it again? Of course you can.
What you aren't allowed to do in the U.S. is to make copies for others, enable others to make copies from copyrighted programs you recorded, play the recorded programs for audiences outside your home or to stip copy protection in order to make make copies even for yourself without the license/copyright owners permission.
If the OP recorded The Office while it was being broadcast to his home he has every right to convert and save it in any other format that pleases him. But since he doesn't know how the AVI was created it's a fair guess that a copyright violation occurred in his acquisition of the video, unless it was acquired from a source that has the copyright owner's permission for distribution.
How is your understanding of media copyright different from my summary?

I would like to know if is possible to use the old iSight with my powerbook (mid 2009)?

I would like to know if is possible to use the old iSight with the macbook pro (mid 2009)?

Hi,
If the Mac has Firewire then you can use the External iSight
(Other readers
If you have Firewire 800 then you will need an adapter to use the Firewire 400 camera - Search for the word Adpater and see posts by EZ Jim for more details)
Don't daisy-chain the camera with Hard Drives
The camera only uses a data rate of 200Mbps and the differences in Hard Drive data speeds can be an issue.
The External iSIght should work no matter what Firmware is on there currently.
There is some evidence that having the 1.0.3 version (Open the System Profiler > Hardware > Firewire) on the device makes it more compatible/useable in later OS versions
The Updater is included in Tiger and Leopard.
Hard Drive/System/Library/CoreServices/iSight Updater/iSight Updater.app
An OS Update could "trigger" this to be run if you have Tiger
It can also be run as a Standalone.
It is Not present in Snow Leopard and although the documentation says this Firmware is an Audio update some people report that the camera needs the 1.0.3 Firmware to run.
(that could simply be the "Flashing" the Memory involved resets it enough to work)

Cannot get Mail using a shared connection with a PowerBook

This is one of them problems with lots of potential causes, but I have to start asking somewhere.
I am in a temporary work location. There is no wireless access available, but there is an available copper connection.
I plug my trusty old G4 Titanium PowerBook into the ethernet and configure it to share the connection thru its AirPort Card to my iPad (original)
I can get to web sites with iPad Safari, so that says that the connection is working, but the iPad Mail app cannot connect to anything. It sits and spins and then says "The mail server "mail.whatever.org" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info into Mail settings."
I know the Mail info is correct because it will connect and operate with no problem when I am at home, connecting to my own AirPort network.
Any ideas or suggestions ?

The available ethernet is an open DHCP network, so I just set the Network/Ethernet to DHCP and everything there just works.
Next I went to Sharing/Internet Sharing. I set the "Share your connection" control to "Ethernet" and in the "To computers using" control, I selected "AirPort".
In AirPort Options, I gave the network a name, set Channel to Auto, enabled WEP with a 40-bit key and set a password.

IDVD Burn via Roxio Toast Titanium v6

I'm using iDVD 5.0.1 on an eMac without an internal DVD-RW - my DVD burining is all done via Toast to an external SONY DVD-RW. I can't work out how to create an iDVD image which I can then drag into Toast to burn. (The shareware floating around which allows a choice of burn destinations from iDVD itself doesn't cover going via Toast.)
Does anyone have experience of this?
Many thanks in advance.

Max now is a good time to buy Toast 7, and use the iMovie project right in that and make a disk image that you can easily burn on that drive.
You can select DL or not as you like, pick automatic or custom MPEG-2 compression options and of course make an image first and see how big it is and how it looks and operates. It has chapters though rudimentary (time based only) and better templates than Toast 6 (which well, had one basically).
I find the performance is much faster than iDVD as well.
Also if you find it made an image say 5 GB , you can either burn that to DL with room to spare, go back and up the compression quality to fit 8.5GB or use the compressor bulit in (was Popcorn's) to recompress that 5 GB to 4.3GB - basically it has way more options and controls than iDVD will ever have.

Using an external microphone with a powerbook without webcam

I would think that using my powerbook as a phone would work really well, but I don't have a built-in microphone. Ae there any special features I should look for if I buy one? Or perhaps a special brand?
Thanks!

Okay, The 'Internal Built-in microphone' is selected in the sound department.
Processor speed 1.67 GHz, 1GB DDR RAM. Model? As far as I know it's a 15" Alum. Powerbook G4. Is there more to the model than that? It's almost 5 years old, time for a new one. But it's still working okay - knock on wood.
Anyhoo, I am going to try this. If it works, it's so much cheaper than a phone.
Thank you very much for the help, it's highly appreciated!!!
Kind regards,
Mildred.

How do i use my iphone 3gs with a powerbook g4 with an old version of itunes?

I bought a second hand mac and a second hand iphone 3gs, i want to put music on the iphone but i think itunes is too old. What can i do to fix this problem?

Depends on what software version is on the iphone.
If you have 10.5.1 on your Mac, then update the Mac it should find 10.5.8.
What itunes verison?
What iphone version?
Why do you think itunes is "too old"?
