After Leopard upgrade can't burn backups to dvd, don't have "SuperDrive"???

I used the upgrade install option for Leopard and I know the are issues being reported with alot of applications but I haven't seen this one so here it goes..
Backup had an update to be Leopard compatible and so far it will backup just fine to my iDisk.
However if I try to backup to a dvd the driver that shows on the Backup program for burning says SuperDrive and I have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06 drive soooo when I try to backup to dvd it fails. I'm guessing the failure is the Superdrive vs the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06 drive. System profiler states for burning I have the Pioneer drive.
The reason I would like to backup to dvd is simple, it's QUICK and since I upgraded to Leopard and did not do a "clean" install I want to be ready if that is what I will need to do to solve any issues that may arise from upgrade vs install method for Leopard. I want my info safe. I am not sure if I do a "clean" install that my info backed-up in Time Machine will be readily available or if I will have to erase my external hard drive that I use for TM to start with a "clean" Time Machine too.
Any suggestions? Enlightenment? Please be kind I am still so new at this and I have alot to learn.

Hi
There are two kinds of DVDs that You can burn/create with the same sort of DVD that You bought.
• Data-DVD - When DVD is seen on DeskTop and files added to this ===> Result is a Data-DVD and this can only be read by a computer - no DVD-Player can play it
• Video-DVD - Is the kind of DVDs that plays on DVD-players and to do this You must use a Video-encoding-burning program as iDVD or Roxio Toast™ or DVD-Studio Pro. It encodes the video in a proper way but also it structures the material in a way a DVD-Player can use. Can not be done (as far as I know of) via DeskTop/Finder.

  • After Leopard upgrade can't send mail in Apple Mail with dot mac account.

    Just upgraded to Leopard and now I can't send mail through Apple Mail. Checked smtp and that's OK. How do I check what ports are open? That may be the problem. I looked at the Apple trouble shooting page and did everything there except the port check.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lou

    Fixed my own problem. I put in the SMTP address but didn't save. Once I saved it worked.

  • Can't shut down / restart after Leopard upgrade - can't install updates

    (While I found a topic with the same subject from last November, which is marked "answered", as far as my machine is concerned, nothing in that thread helps)
    Having upgraded to Leopard, I have found that the regular shutdown process never works. I invariably get told that Firefox (or something else) is still running but not only is the "Force Quit" dialog empty, but a "ps aux" command does not list any process related to Firefox in it.
    For the last few months, I've been doing shutdown -h now, the only mechanism that would work.
    However, there's a new update which has a button to restart, but it WON"T restart. I just get the usual problems as above. If I do a shutdown -r now, I can reboot, but it looks like the software update did not actually happen, as I simply get prompted again to install/restart.
    Anyone know how to really solve this problem?

    Well, it turns out that I was wrong about the original thread not helping. As a last act of a desperate user, I went to the place in user accounts where the login items are specified and pulled out EVERYTHING except my microsoft keyboard/mouse drivers (don't laugh...the only thing I hate about Macs are their keyboards and mice) and my system is now working perfectly...shuts down properly every time, etc...the updater was able to do its job.
    I have absolutely no idea which item caused the problem and I don't care.
    It works!

  • IMovie quits after leopard upgrade

    iMovie'08 just does not open after leopard upgrade. It says application quit unexpectedly.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I too seem to have the same problem. Am running OS 10.5.6 and just will not stay open. Have tried to find the iMovie preference file and there's nothing there which could be the problem.
    I too am wondering what I can do???

  • After Leopard Upgrade, HDTV No Longer Displays Full Screen Apple TV??

    Fairly recent Apple convert. iMac is directly connected to HDTV (Mini-DVI to HDMI) and A/V Receiver(Toslink). After Leopard upgrade, I now have a black border, on HDTV, no matter what resolution I choose (worked automatically and perfectly on Tiger). In System Preferences-Display, I am mirroring the displays and have Overscan turned off, because without it, the Menu Bar does not display at all. I am wondering if Apple is trying to force me to buy an Apple TV or if maybe I just need to be patient until the correct drivers come out? Apple told me they were referring my problem to the Engineering Department, but I am not holding my breath. Primary need is to view Photos and eventually rent movies, when HD is readily available. Any opinions, predictions or suggestions on resolving would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    same issue here. Don't use it very often so could not remember if it was fine previously thought it was. Hope we get help soon.

    Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
    The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
    It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
    The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
    Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
    Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
    ... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
    Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
    Any thoughts?

  • Leopard.  Did a full restore from Time Machine.  Now I can't access my other internal and external drives.  I get the following error: The folder "Capture Video" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.

    Leopard.  Did a full restore from Time Machine.  Now I can't access my other internal and external drives.  I get the following error: The folder “Capture Video” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.  I have repaired permissions pn the main harddrive.  When I try too click on a disk I get the previously stated error.  I can't even open up information to see what permission/access there is.  It simply will not let me see the content.  It shows the content of my main hard drive when I have clicked the other harddrive's name.

    Solved:
    sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
    sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
    sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
    sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"

  • Can I burn to mini-DVD disc

    Can I burn to mini-DVD discs on my iBook G4? I have a superdrive and I have burned the project succesfully on a regular DVD but the person that I am burning it for was told it had to be turned in on a mini-DVD.
    Not knowing if the mini would be compatiable or possibly get stuck I was afraid to try it without some comformation that it has been done by someone else before. It is a work computer.
    I tried to burn it on my sons PC and on my Mom's PC but neither worked. Neither acknowledges the mini-DVD.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hi Amber,
    as Scalz wrote, never put non-standard-sized/shaped disks into slot-in drives...!!
    besides....
    miniDVD can have two meanings:
    * these %$§*? DVDcamcorders record on miniDVD (small diameter, but mainly DVD)
    * and you are able to burn a DVDcontent (muxxed mp2 stream) onto a CD-R - that is also called miniDVD.... I was able to fit 10min onto such, but my DVDstandalone doesn't accept such disks....
    my guess, the recipient of your project tries to use his DVDcamcorder as a DVDplayer.... wow....... you get "grown up" DVDplayers for 39$.....
    many external burners accept these miniDVD-r... maybe, someone can borrow you such? and, my guess, iDVD doesn't accept them, you need to use Toast (as I did for my dvd-cd-r experiment)

  • I can't burn CD or DVD.  I get a "medium write error."  I bought an external CD drive, and get the same message.

    I can't burn CDs or DVDs.  I get a "medium write error."  Bought a new external CD drive, and get the same message.

    What are you trying to achieve?  Are you trying to burn to disk via the iPhoto Share ➙ Burn menu? That produces a mini library on the disk that can be used only by a Mac running iPhoto.
    If you want to burn just some image files to a data CD/DVD disk then follow Larry's recommended workflow.
    What disk type and manufacturer are your using? What system and iPhoto version are you running?  Have you run the OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test? When did the burning proiblem begin?  If you can't burn a disk from the Finder then it's a hardware or system problem and not an iPhoto one.

    Are you sharing your apple id? You can check if your email is included within the message settings in "settings >> messages >> send and receive" and remove it from that list on the other phones.

  • Unable to access time machine backup. The folder "Documents" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.

    My MacBook Pro with 750GB storage refuses to startup due to a problem with logic board (unfortunately I'm in Singapore and there is no Apple store here and zero customer support).  I'm trying to access some of the files from the time machine back-up using my MacBook Air with 120GB storage, but I'm unable to open the backup.  I receive an error message "you don't have permission to see its contents". Unable to access time machine backup. The folder “Documents” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
    I don't really want to migrate the data from the time machine to the MacBook Air as I simply don't have sufficient storage space on the MacBook Air.  The iPhoto library which I'm trying to access is 200GB, which is more than the size of the MacBookAir.
    Is there any way I can view the photos and documents stored on the time machine backup.
    Thank you very much.

    When you setup the Mac, you created a Admin user account with say name X
    You ran Migration Assistant and it migrated user Y from the Windows machine.
    User Y has different permissions than User X.
    User X can't normally access User Y's account.
    So what you do is log out of User X via the Apple menu and into User Y, this way you have permission to access the files.
    If you want to transfer files from User Y to User X account
    Transfer files between user accounts on the same machine instructions
    Finder > Go menu > Computer
    A window appears with your boot drive, double click on it to open
    Inside is Users folder, double click to open it
    Inside is your User accounts, double click on the one you want to send files too
    Double click on the Public folder drop the files into the DropBox folder,
    The permissions will change and can be used in the other user account when you log into it and moved to the appropriate folders.
    Applications are typically installed and kept in the Applications folder which is a global access folder all users can access to run them from, but not all users can modify unless they are a Admin user.
    Windows programs won't run on a Mac, but they can be instaled into a virtual machine program that is running Windows.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • My os is 10.8.4. Airport Utility is 6.3. When I try to pull backups, time capsule says: 'The folder "Pictures" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.'.

    My os is 10.8.4. Airport Utility is 6.3. When I try to pull backups, time capsule says: 'The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.'. So I cannot use Time capsule to back up so what gives?

    Did you use migration assistant when you set up the computer?
    TM will treat this as a different computer and permissions issues can arise from that.
    Pondini is the expert on that stuff.. hopefully he can drop in.
    But I recommend you read all the FAQ to do with restore.. Q14-17.
    And then look at the permissions issues he lists in troubleshooting.

    You cannot.  If someone else told you there is a way then they will need to show you.  After Effects requires a 64-bit system and the latest release requires Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 minimum
