Burn folder naming

Hi:
Ever since the 10.4.4 update, naming burn folders has been a problem. although I have set preferences to show extensions, when I try to name a burn folder without typing in the extension, something I have never had to do with any folder, I receive a message telling me I can't rename the folder. If I retype the name and add fbpf, it accepts that. also, for reasons unknown to me, sometimes the folder pops up with a name like burnfolder3.fpbf. Everything seems to work but I wonder what's going on and if there's something I should do to fix it.
thanks.

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
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.)

  • My download are going to a different folder. They usually went to a folder named 'Downloads' and now they go to a folder named 'Temp', Why is this?

    Usually when i download something it goes to a folder named 'Download', however, now they go to a folder named 'Temp'.

    Get info on the drive.  What format?  FAT drives may be behave erratically for heavy-duty use of the kind you are doing. It's okay to leave a flash drive FAT formatted for light use but for heavy-duty file transfer I think you can encounter issues.
    iTunes does not look at files directly.  It maintains a database (library.itl) of the files in its collection.  When you play a track it looks up where that file is located and goes and plays the file in that location.  If you manually move a file or folder used by iTunes that database is no longer correct and you get broken links ( ! ).  If you want to move files or folders with iTunes you have to let iTunes do it.  Since iTunes is organizing your library there isn't much flexibility in what you can do other than move the whole collection to a different folder by changing the media location preference in preferences.

  • Importing .ISO files into SCVMM2012 R2 - Folder Naming Quirk

    We've run into a folder naming issue in regards to importing .ISO's into the VMM Library. When specifying a folder to import the .ISO into, VMM adds %20 to the folder names where spaces are. Not a huge deal but wonder if anyone has a way around this without
    using dashes or underscores.

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

    If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

  • How do I move an album, from iCloud to a burn folder

    Opened my iTunes and all of my songs have the cloud icon, next to them.  I wish to burn them to multiple cds, but cannot figure out how to put them into a burn folder.  Nothing happens when I click on the download cloud button.

    Hello kayceecowgirl,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    Instead of draging songs to a burn folder, have you tried to burn a music CD using the steps in this article?

  • I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

  • Error while creating folder named "bin" using explorer view in sharepoint 2010

    I am getting error when I create a folder in a library named "bin" using explorer view in sharepoint 2010.
    When I create folders with other names I don't get any errors.
     Please suggest.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an
    error when you create a folder named “bin” in a SharePoint library with explorer view.
    There are any Microsoft.NET Framework assemblies that have controls or parts that the SharePoint site uses, which are stored in the bin folder. You can remove “bin”  from hidden segments, then you can create a folder named “bin”
    in the SharePoint library with explorer view.
       1.Opened IIS Manager and selected Server name -> Request Filtering -> Hidden Segments tab -> Removed "bin" from there:
       2.Perform IISRESET:

  • How do I remove a few files from a burn folder?

    I cannot believe I have to ask such a simple question; WHY is everyhting so difficult and complicated with Macs?! I have a DVD in the Mac; I put a number of files into the 'burn folder' which appears automatically. It tells me there are too many files to burn (I have no way of calculating the exact amount to fill the DVD, so have to use trial & error).
    On a Windows PC there would be a little button saying 'remove'; you simply highlight a few folders at a time & click 'remove' - & bingo - they vanish from the folder to be burned. But it seems I have to actually send these 'alias' files to the trash in order to get them out of the burn folder? I saw another discussion on here that suggests this will delete the original files? HOW stupid and badly designed is that?!! I tried sending some to the trash but this takes forever; it does not seem to have deleted the originals, but I would like someone to confirm this please - and please can someone tell me how to delete the contents / some of the contents of a burn folder if I've made a simple mistake in what I've added to it? There HAS to be some way of getting rid of files without deleting the originals - surely?!

    Pardon me for jumping in, but in my experience deleting an alias from a burn folder (or elsewhere) leaves the original intact.  I don't know why deleting the alias files takes so long on your system - on mine, a mid-2011 mini with 8GB RAM running 10.7.5, it happens pretty immediately.  I didn't initially like the Burn Folder concept, but since I've gotten used to it, it's OK - although it seems to add some unnecesary complexity if I want, for example, to move some (but not all) of the files in a folder onto a CD/DVD.
    To delete aliases of files that I don't want burned, I (right-click) (control-click) (two finger tap) on the alias, then select "Move to Trash".  That's not the only way it can be done, of course.
    As baltwo used it, I think "WAG" is supposed to indicate a sort of guess.  A "burning maven" would be a person with extensive knowledge of burning CDs and DVDs on a Mac.  Since none have weighed in, there must be some sort of maven convention going on.
    But, yes, what you've described should work fine.  If you're super concerned about files being deleted when you delete an alias to them and don't have an up-to-date backup, just make a copy of the file (not the alias) in a different folder.
    Good luck

  • Smart folder in iphoto to burn folder on desktop

    Hi.
    I set up a smart folder in IPHOTO (collecting all photo's taken on a vacation) and have set up a burn folder on the desktop.
    I can't figure out how to get the smart folder to the burn folder. It won't move from within Iphoto or via the finder.
    Is what I want to do possible in Tiger and Iphoto?
    I have a new Macbook.
    thanks in advance.

    If by :burn to the desktop: you mean copy, then no. You have to either select all and drag to a folder on the desktop or use the File->Export->File Export menu route.
    If you want to burn directly to a disk with those images then click on the smart album and use the File->Export->File Export menu route but this time selecting the blank mounted disk on the desktop as the final destination.

  • Folder named "Time" in home folder?

    I find that in my Home folder I have an empty folder named "Time". Its date is one week ago,
    Any ideas why?

    It's not created by any built-in software.

  • How do I put JPEGs in a burn folder without having them be aliases? I see the JPEGs in "Preview" but can't fugre out how to duplicate the originals so I can burn them without them being aliases.

    How do I copy JPEGs that I see in "Preview" without getting aliases? I want to burn a new disk with copied originals, not aliases?

    You can create a new folder and drag the originals into it and burn that as well, the "burn folder" concept just makes it easier to not to have to put everything away later.
    Just delete the burn folder and your done.

  • Blank CDR and DVD not shown in finder - impossible to burn from Burn Folder

    Since I have installed Snow Leopard on my Imac, Blank CD's and DVD's are not seen in the finder. No matter what I select in:
    Systempreferences > CD's and DVD's (ask task / show finder etc...) the discs do not appear (I tried with all sorts).
    Yet the disks are seen in Utilities > Disk Utility and also recognized in System profile.
    When I make a New Burn Folder, after getting the prompt: insert disk,and inserting, nothing happens. Then I cancel, and finally get the message "The disk cannot be used because it is not recognized". I get this message with any disk type.
    Using the same disks, but burning from I-tunes, I-movie, I-DVD I have no problem at all.
    The exact same things happens on my Macbook, since Snow Leopard has been installed.
    Smells very buggy. Anyone knowing a solution?
    Thanks,
    Vincentini

    I am having the same problem but get no error messages.
    Burn command given from burn folder on desktop, insert disc message appears, insert disc, 30 seconds later disc ejects, no message, no burn?

  • Burn Folder and Burning CDs

    I know that if I insert a CD I can copy files from my HD and paste them into the CD and then burn the CD.
    But, I also want to take advantage of burn folders. If I make a burn folder and drag files from the HD into the burn folder I only get the aliases (I've heard this is what you do- simply drag and drop). What I want to know is if I go ahead and burn the folder will it burn the aliases or a copy of the original file. OR, do I have to do the same as with a CD i.e. make a copy and paste it into the burn folder. Thanks.

    Furthermore, if you get info on the burn folder it only will give the size of the aliases. Does anyone know how to find the actually size of all the contained files?
