Buy a bigger USB thumb drive. whether you will then be able to successfully load that DMG file on the new larger USB stick and have it play on whatever I have no idea.

How do I move a playlist to a flash drive so it will play in my car?

Said it above. Created a playlist in iTunes and on my macbook air I'm trying to burn it onto a flashdrive usng the SD slot. My computer says there's no burn drive or software...

You don't burn to a flash drive/SD card - you can copy.
Drag the tunes you want onto the flash drive/SD card.
Plug it into the port on the car stereo. Make sure that the files you copy are in a format the the car stero will play.

Booting a DMG from a USB Flash Drive?

Is there anyway I can boot from a USB flash drive? I don't have a DVD burner to burn the image onto, so I have to resort to this. I'm running an Intel iMac (late 2006) on Tiger.
Any help is appreciated.

If you mean boot up your Mac then the answer is no. If you mean open a .dmg file then the answer is yes.

How do i burn an ISO image to a flash drive?

I tried to use disk utility and dragged my ISO file into the source box and then my flash drive into the destination box. When i clicked restored and entered in my password i got a dialog box saying "Restore failure, Could not validate source - Invalid arguement". If someone could help me that would be great. I was trying to burn Windows 7 so that way I could install it in bootcamp because I need Windows for school.

Launch Disk Utility and select File: New: Disk Image From Folder. In the window that appears, navigate to the desired folder and then click on Image. Give the image file a name, and click on Save when prompted. That’s it.

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

Burning cd's or flash drive

How do I download tv series or movies from my itunes to DVD or Flashdrive ??

Open the Finder window for your blank disk or drive. Open the iTunes window next to it. Drag the TV show/movie into the Finder window. For a flash drive, you can just eject it; for a DVD, ejecting will burn it. Note that you're creating a data disk, ie, the movies can only be read on another authorized Mac/PC through iTunes or Quicktime Player. It remains copy-protected. You're not burning a video DVD that you can watch on a regular set-top player.

Why can't a mac ipad use a flash drive or cd burner

Please. let me know why ipad doesn't have ability yo use a flash drive or CD burner.

The iPad doesn't have a file manager - like Finder or 'my computer' that allows the use of such devices.
It likely will never support any sort of optical drive - heck within the next few years I'm wiling to bet cd readers/burners go the way of the floppy drive (likely as soon as the record and video industry goes the way of distribution via USB key). But there are some apps and wireless flash drives that work with iPads - they have an app that takes the place of a file manager.
Look for sandisk wireelss flash drive, to just name one. I have no experience with them but there are a couple of users here that have them and recommend it a lot.

Hi,
Unfortunately you can create only 1 set of recovery media.
Copying and burning the recovery USB to DVD and then using DVD to do system recovery will not work.
What you can do is back up all your data to an external drive. Do a Factory Reset with the Recovery USB to get back all the partitions including the recovery partition into the HDD.

Burning to flash drive

Can you burn your playlist in MP3 format to something other than a CD? ie flash drive or SD.

*Can you burn your playlist in MP3 format to something other than a CD?*
No, because burning means to out it on a CD/DVD, as in burn with a laser.
You can easily put songs onto a flash drive or SD card from iTunes.
Select the songs you want in iTunes, then drag them directly from iTUnes to the flash drive/SD card on the desktop or Windows Exploder.

Flash drives, DVD drives, DMG, ISOs, no longer work

Starting in the past week, a number of our users (40+) are no longer able to use flash drives, dvd, drives, dmgs, ISOs, etc. They do not mount at all. The system claims that there are no mountable file systems.
We have imaged a brand new computer and it reads everything just fine. After we do a full software update, the aforementioned items no longer work. This has been repeated and confirmed a couple times throughout the day. This is on OS X Mountain Lion on MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Minis. We have imaged and tested it on all 3 systems with the same result, running a certain part of software update seems to be breaking file system mounting.
Has anyone else witnessed this today, any one in Apple care to chime in?

How to burn a powerpoint 2013 presentation to a DVD R and or USB flash drive.

My Powerpoint 2013 slideshow includes photo's, clip art with transitions and animations and embedded music.   I want to
burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive and send it to a friend.   My friend has a windows 7 desktop
computer and a DVD player attached to a TV.   Ideally I want to know how to burn the presentation to a DVD so that the presentation can be played back on the TV using the DVD player.    I do not want to lose any of the transitions
or animations when I burn the presentation to a DVD.          I know most TV's have a USB connection but have no idea how this works if the
presentation is copied to a USB flash drive.   What are my best options to keep the integrity of the presentation intact, and how do I go about doing this?   I need detailed instructions please.   Thanks in advance
for your assistance.

Hi,
The factor of keeping the integrity of presentation when you burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive depends on performance of DVD disk and USB flash drive.
There are two ways to put PowerPoint presentation on a DVD convert PPT to video.
1. Convert PPT Files To DVD is to use a screen capture software.
2. Convert and Burn PowerPoint Presentation onto DVD would be to use a professional PowerPoint to DVD converter software.
For more detail information:
http://worldclassmedia.com/how-to-convert-powerpoint-files-to-dvd-put-a-powerpoint-presentation-on-tv/
If your TV doesn’t have built-in processors or Windows installed, it can’t run PowerPoint presentations in their native environment from a USB connectors. If so, you should convert it to video format first.

Flash drive creates a burn folder

Whenever I insert my Sandisk Cruzer flash drive into a USB port my MacBook Pro creates a burn folder the same time it mounts the drive. Why? I have already reformatted the drive but to no avail.

Exporting IMovie to Flash Drive vie IDVD for Burning on Another Computer

I have made a slide show in IMovie and since my computer can't burn a DVD, I would now like to export the IMovie to IDVD and then onto a flash drive so that I am able to burn on another computer (probably a PC). Which is the best format to put the movie in for export via flash drive and how can I create the appropriate file after transfering the IMovie to IDVD. There didn't seem to be an export or share option for me on IDVD. If someone could help with the steps after sending the IMovie to IDVD. Thank you.

I want to burn a iTunes on my flash drive. Is it possible?

I want to burn a song from my itunes onto my flash drive. Is it possible?

By the way, the technical term is "copy", not "burn". Burning involves using a laser to induce a chemical change on an optical disc such as a DVD or CD.

Bad flash drive and dmg backup

Hi everyone!
I updated my Mac Book Air and restarted as required. I didn't realize my 16GB flash drive was still connected and on the reboot, the drive became unreadable. I created an image using Disk Utility as it could not be verified nor repaired. Now I am trying restore from the Disk Utility as I can not even get the flash drive to show up. It's as if it doesn't exist when I plug it in. I unfortunately cannot get my dmg to mount and when I try to from Terminal, it shows it in the list and shows it at the correct capacity so I am hoping there is still hope but how can I get any of the files off of it?
Thanks in advance!

I would love to use an usb flash drive for my MacBook, if I'm not home… and I really think, this would be a useful feature for Time Machine, if it offers at least the option.
But I don't think it is possible now. I tried it, too and I think (don't know), Time Machine only accepts drives big enough to backup the whole HD.
What would be rather smart and stupid at the same time, because to use Time Machine just for 300 MB of my user folder and my work documents should be possible with 2 GB.
Maybe someone "knows" more about this, I haven't found anything useful so far…
