Along the lines of How to burn DVD's
I was trying to burn a simple data CD. Dragged the files to the CD in Finder saw the alias, hit burn. After a moment (spinning pinwheel) I get an error message saying:
Burning the disc failed because one or more items in "Desktop.fpbf" could not be read.
Could not read '/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.Ie.4294967294
Is this an error with the disk (they are old Maxell CD-Rs), error with the files being cooked, they are med. res jpegs or as I fear a missing/corrupt file in the OS?
Any help is appreciated.

I presume you created a burn folder.
Could not read '/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.Ie.4294967294

Why not really simplify it? Insert a blank, after it mounts double click it to open it and drag a file into the window. It will be an alias of the actual file which is correct and normal.
Select File->Burn Disc and see what happens.
If you want to save money, use a R/W disk for starters.

Along the lines of How To Lead Large Files
I have some mainframe extract files loaded onto a Solaris drive that are between 1 and 4 GB to be used in an initial load of a data warehouse. I can't even open a file with file sizes that large. (We're running JDK 1.2.2 - not sure if that matters.) I'm using this statement -
bufReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileName)));
This is the error I get on that statement -
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /wrhs_data/export.13.aug02 (Value too larg)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:68)
at com.cofinity.importer.MyFileReader.open(MyFileReader.java:40)
at com.cofinity.importer.MyFileReader.main(Compiled Code)
The statement works fine on files less than 220 MB. It breaks somewhere between 220 and 804 MB.
From the error message it seems that the underlying Native call can't handle opening such a large file. I've searched for the "value to larg" sub-message and found nothing. I tried eliminating the BufferedReader and just using the InputStreamReader, but I received the same error.
Does anyone know how Java can read large files in the 1 to 4 GB range? (I suppose I could use something like Informatica to split the files up, but our disk space is at a premium.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SteveWell it appears to fail in open(). I tried your code on a binary file of size 25739135241 bytes (23.9+ gibibytes) on AIX and it did just fine, so it may be something in the runtime, try upgrading to a newer JDK/SDK, failing that, use the OS to stream in your data:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in)
);And just pipe/redirect your file to your Java processes' standard in. -

How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..
How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..?
This is called sessions, but it is not recommended and has been largely abandoned by software developers. This was a good thing in the late 1990’s, when opticals discs were quite expensive, and file size quite low.
applications which reportedly may do this are
- isoBurn: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/40109/isoburn
- others, I do not remember which ones, try SimpyBurns, Burn, Dragon Burn and LiquidCD, you will find all in macupdate.com, test which ones suit you.
Otherwise, I do not recommend you such time consuming and inefficient solutions, optical drives are being replaces by more capacitive, cheaper and more practical solutions, like external disks. But, if you insist, you will find what you are looking for. -
New to MAC. How to burn DVD of iMovie
Just created our first school project on iMovie but now cannot figure out how to burn DVD. Is it not possible? We are VERY unfamiliar with the Mac world.....thanks so much in advance!
Hi
I would in iMovie'08
• move from Events to a new Project - building a movie
• Share this to Media Browser
• Close iMovie
• Open iDVD
• Import movie from Media Browser
• Design the iMovie menu at Your liking
• Set DVD burn-speed down to x4 or less in iDVD Preferences
• Set at Pro-Quality encoding
• Use a Good Quality DVD - I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
• I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk - so that iDVD runns OK.
• Save as a DiskImage
• Test this with Apple DVD-tool
• If OK - Burn it with iDVD - or Apple Disk Util tool (need no re-calculation)
Good tutoral are one of

I think my computer has a virus, when I get on the Internet, ads will pop up all the time, I think it is called adware? Also pages will pop up saying something along the lines of my computer is at risk for some security issue. What should I do?

remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one. -
Hi,
I am need of help! I have had this issue for a while now and it's becoming frustrating.
My iTunes installed on my HP Windows 8 Netbook is unable to recognize my iPod, the error message along the lines of "iTunes has detected an iPod but unable to recognise"
I have followed all the trouble shooting tips and am still stuck? I am now being told by a friend I need a link sent to me to fix this??
Someone please help me fix this problem.
Many thanks.
Matt.Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks. -
I bought my I pod touch 3-4 months ago and I got this message all of a sudden, it said something along the lines of provisonal complete_Distrib... will expire in 30 days. What is this it's under setting-general-Profile should I be worried? Should I just let it expire.
Unless you have a company or school iPod, that profile was installed by an app you installed. It is likely that the app will no longer function when that date is reached. You can Google the name of the profile and that may provide some more information.

How to burn DVDs without the graphics?
I'm trying to burn a DVD for a client, with only the video piece on the DVD. However, the iDVD keeps putting up the graphics/themes/whichever you call them, and I can't get them off. I've tried autoplay, deleting the graphics - nothing works! I don't want to lose a paycheck over this, so can someone help me?
Thanks(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps! -
I've just upgraded to iMovie 10 and cannot figure out how to burn my movie to a DVD. I don't want to share on Vimeo, CNN, etc. I just want a movie for me?
What may I missing? Help, please!RuffiansRide,
The manual is not going to help you figure out how to burn a DVD. Apple discontinued iDVD several years ago and no longer supports it and in version 10 of iMovie has removed all references to iDVD or burning DVDs.
That said, iDVD stil works beautifully and remains the best option for creating nice-looking DVDs on a Mac.
You said that everything appears to be uploading to iCloud. Have you tried unchecking "Automatically upload content to iCloud" in iMovie's Preferences?
Here is a step by step on how to create a DVD from iMovie 10 using iDVD 7.1.2. If you do not have iDVD, you can probably substitute Toast everywhere I used iDVD (I don't have Toast so can't verify this).
1. Create a project in iMovie 10.0.1
2. Go to File>Share>File... and for Size choose Large 540P (960 x 540) and click Next
3. Choose a location on the hard drive to save the file to.
4. Wait for the blue circle activity indicator to finish.
5. In Finder, verify that iMovie created an MP4 file in the location specified in step 3.
6. Open iDVD and click "Create New Project."
7. Give the project a name and save it to your hard drive.
8. Drag the file you created earlier from the Finder into your iDVD project window.
(or go to File>Import>Video... and choose your video there)
9. Make any adjustments to drop zones, etc.
10. Click the burn button.
11. Insert a DVD and let it do its thing.
This produces a working DVD for me.
Here are my software specs:
OS X 10.9 Mavericks
iMovie 10.0.1
iDVD 7.1.2
