A exclamation mark next to an item means the file associated with that track cannot be found. When you get info (command + i) on the item it will present you with an option to track down that file and re-associate it with the item in the playlist.
If you are absolutely positive your AAC files are mp3 there are ways to get them to be recognized as mp3. However, you must have used a different encoder to do that and it must have been a poorly designed one to make such a basic error. I still think that you probably have duplicates of songs in your library in different formats. It is unlikely in the extreme that a mp3 would be identified as AAC unless you hand edited the file name in the Finder window to end in .aac instead of .mp3.
May I politely add that I am having problems following your posts without punctuation and full sentences and this may be causing me to misunderstand the specifics. I am also getting very brief statements that are making it very hard for me to follow exactly what is going on: "clik apple- i or- r and nothing happens, but they are mp3s not recognised in itunes as being mp3s and told they cannot be found! and that they are AAC files!" Do you truly mean nothing at all happens? Absolutely nothing at all, like your keyboard is dead? Additionally, you don't click on those. You select/highlight a single track then hold down the command key which is, depending upon the keyboard, has an apple on it, or a thing shaped like a propeller, or may have "command" written on it. At the same time you press the command key you press "i" to get info or "r" to reveal the location of the file associated with that track. If a file cannot be found then itunes won't recognize it as anything other than a name listing in the music library - it loses all the other information.

Burn Folder Problems

Hi,
In the past whenever I created a new burn folder it was automatically labeled "Burn Folder". Starting today it is automatically labeled "Burn Folder.fpbf" Even when I change the name, the new name still displays the extension ".fpbf" Why?
When I attempt to burn I get a message of "Error Code 0x8002006D"
I've tried the "Finder force quit fix" which worked in the past with similar error codes, but now the problem remains.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Troy,
I think I'm OK for now. Somehow, while mucking around, I must have checked the "Show all file extensions" box in the Finder Prefs. Evidently this overrides the Get Info "Hide extension".
As for burning errors, I once again tried a force quit of the Finder and I'm back to being able to burn. Who knows?!? A bit bizarre, but things seem OK now. Thanks for your response and the link.
Cheers,
Dan

Burn Folder Problem

I am trying to make a Backup of my User Folder and using the Burn folder and a 4 Gig DVD. I have about 1.5 Gigs in my User Folder. Right after the burn process started I get a message that says--Burning the disc failed because one or more items the "Home B-U 3-18-07 could not be read.
"/Users/csmith/.bash_history" cannot be read.
Chuck

The error indicates that the hidden .bash_history file, located at the root-level of your user folder can't be read. You can view it with this Terminal command:
cat .bash_history
or simply delete it with this command. The Terminal program will create a new one:
rm ~/".bash_history"
and try burning the folder again.

Is the Burn Folder bugged

I always back up my files to DVD using the Burn folder.
Recently every disk has been a failure, it only backs up an alias of the files. so if I back up a folder called 'pictures' for instance, the result is just a 1mb alias of the same name on the DVD.
Is their a bug in a recent software update I have downloaded ?
I downloaded an old application called Burn and this works fine.
Anyone else found this please ?

You keep referring to "the" Burn Folder as if it is a unique object with a required location. You (or your family member) can create as many burn folders as you want, and they can be wherever you put them. If this particular burn folder is on the Desktop, it may well have been created there. You can move it wherever you want it (including the trash, if you and your family are finished with it)

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.

Burning Dual Layer DVD in Disk Utility vs. Burn Folder

Using Disk Utility, I created an Image, (File > New Image from Folder), The resulting .dmg file was about 8.3 Gigabytes. Still in Disk Utility, I select the volume (Filename.dmg) and click Burn, insert a dual layer disk and get a "Disk does not have enough free space" message. I create another image of the same folder, but select "Compressed", giving a folder size of about 6.2 Gigabytes. I try to burn this but again get the "not enough free space" message.
Now I try creating a Burn Folder, put the 6.2 gb Filename.dmg in the folder and select Burn, It burns fine.
Why does the Burn Folder method work and not Disk Utility? What am I missing?
I would appreciate any insight.
Geoff

Hi James:
When you try to copy the dual-layer you may encounter problems because the layer-break may not be where you think it should be.
When you try to copy the actual dual Layer DVD, iDVD will inform you that doing so may result in a disc that has playback problems in DVD players. It states that you are better off burning it with iDVD than from a Disk Utility.
3rd party software that will help would be Roxio's Toast 6, 7 or Popcorn.

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.

Problems with New Burn Folder and burning discs

Hello, I find that my mini doesn't wish to burn discs. If I Create New Burn Folder and dump stuff into it, it won't accept the blank discs I insert as true blanks; I get a "insert blank disc" command. These are just standard cd-r and dvd-r discs. Nor is the Burn command available through the menus. And beyond that, once I have the disc in, the eject commands are disabled! I can't get the disc out.
The only way I've been able to burn is to insert the blanks first, then drag stuff onto the disc; the Burn Folders just don't work and then I can't even eject the dratted things. Can anyone comment or help---
Thanks,
John

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?

Idvd burn/encoding problem

When I try to burn an idvd project I keep on getting a msg reading
'Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.'
However when I check project info the project is way under the dvd limit. I switched the movie I loaded on the project to an even shorter movie and same msg.
I reinstalled ilife (09.... I know its the old idvd) and I also ran disc utility.
Can anyone help or has encountered the same problem?
Cheers

Hi
When in trouble
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
Yours Bengt W

How can I work through a Burn DVD problem?

In a perfect world, you could put together a project out of any media, click the Share tab and burn it to a disk. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons – some related to Premiere Elements, most related to operating system drivers or program conflicts, this sometimes doesn’t go as smoothly as it should.
The simplest solution is to break the process down into its elements and then troubleshoot each element individually.
There are three main reasons for a problem burning a DVD or BluRay disc: challenging source video (including photos that are larger than the recommended 1000x750 pixels in size); interfacing issues with your disc burner (often the result of a program like Nero not sharing the burner with other programs); and lack of computer resources (namely lack of available scratch disk space on your hard drive). This workaround eliminates most Burn Disc problems. And those it doesn’t eliminate, it at least helps you isolate where the problem is occurring.
1. Burn to a folder rather than directly to a disc. Select this option from Share/Output/Disc. This eliminates the possibility that other disk burning software is interfering with communication with your computer’s burner. Once the disk files are created, you can use your computer’s burner software to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and its contents to a disk.
If this doesn’t work, it could be that your computer lacks the necessary resources, as discussed below.
2. Clear space on and defragment your hard drive. A one-hour video can require up to 50 gigabytes of free, defragmented space on your hard drive to render and process (depending on your source files). Even a “pure” AVI project can require 20-30 gigabytes of space.
Clear off your computer and regularly defragment it, per Maintain Your Computer, above, and you’ll reduce the likelihood of this being an issue – assuming you’ve got an adequately powered computer and an adequately large hard drive in the first place.

Hi
What I would do is start a new project i.e. XXXXXX Final Cut.
Then I would import the finished AVI file into the project and burn it to DVD.
I have also found that PE is sensitive to the files being fragmented.
When I have a project in the works I defragment the drive or the folders that the project is before proceeding.
This has actually made the difference between whether it would work or not on some projects.
I also shut down and restart the program just before burning the project to disk, to clear out any thing using resources.
I use Defraggler to defrag my files it's free and works really well.
And you can chose to defrag what you want or the whole drive.
I run it several times a day when I'm working on big files.

Folder problems on external drive, not showing correct file size

I've run across a strange problem. I'm media managing for a tv show, meaning I'm offloading video from CF cards onto 2 external drives, one is a Drobo Raid (set up for backup) and another is a Lacie rugged drive. After copying the media to both drives, the folder I copy will match, but sometimes as I drill upward in my folder structure, suddenly the file sizes will not match. To be more clear: 2 folders will show differing file sizes, but inside that folder is only another folder,nothing else, which matches across the drives. I've shown all files in finder and there's no hidden files, though sometimes I see the ds_store files are different sizes (8k vs 16k), but that's not always the case. Sometimes if I simply create a new folder and move it's contents into it I can get the folders to match, but sometimes that doesn't work. It's part of my workflow to show that these copies match exactly via screenshots, and although the most important folder (the direct folder holding the footage) always matches, these folder problems are super frustrating as it's not constant, and any workarounds also work inconsistantly.
I had an accidental disconnect of the Drobo one time, and although none of the data seems to have any problem, I fear it's done something to the directory. The rugged drive is swapped out every few days and the problem seems to be on the Drobo. Because the nature of the data is pretty important, I'm afraid to just try messing around with repairing or other software solutions unless I know it's super safe and won't harm the data.
I'm at a loss as to what's causing it and at the very least how to avoid it cropping up. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

I had the same problem with my iMac, first I repaired the disk, then I ejected the disk, restarted, and then reinserted the USB in a different port. All of my files magically showed up. I don't know what caused the error but it has been working fine since.

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.
Do you Twango?

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?

Can I choose the optical drive when durning the contents of a burn folder?

I just purchased an external optical drive for my Mac and I want to use it to burn contents from a burn folder. The problem is, each time I click the burn button, the OS still looks for a disc in the Mac's built in optical drive. I've tried to look for an option that will allow me to change this, but there seems to be none. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm no expert, and it is not clear at what stage you are in your attempt to burn to your external drive. If you have not yet created a burn folder, open finder, go to the file menu, and you will find an option to create a burn folder. It will appear on your desktop .Once you have dropped whichever files you want into the burn folder, right click on it, and you will be asked to which disk you wish to burn it. From there you can install the folder onto your external drive.Good luck.
