Burn folder with external DVDWriter

how to do SUBJ?
trying to write with Burn Folder and IT says no disc in drive...
but i wanna burn my folders to external writer...
where i can choose primary CD/DVDblablabla... ??

Hi Jean-Luc,
i'm not in front of my mac,
but there should be a finder action that will find all files modified within a certain time period (it should be a finder action), then you can tell automator to burn the selected files to a cd (also a finder action).
automator is visual, so you sholdn't have any problems.
PS: i know there is a script to select a particular folder (from memory), but i'm not to sure about the validation period script.
regards,
Pete.

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.

You appear to be having a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your nearest Apple Store to get a diagnosis.

Ken Burns effect with external HDD

The movie I am trying to edit is too big formy powerbook G4 hard drive and so I have it saved on an external hard disk drive. I am trying to "edit in" some still images into the movie and apply some "Ken Burns" effects but, once set, they will not appear when I drag them to the timeline or, if they are already in the timeline, the effect is not applied when I click the "Apply" button.
Has anyone come across this before?
Incidently, the ken burns effect works fine if the movie is stored on the internal HDD!!
Please help.

The suggestions already offered should have solved this problem, Andy. We're getting into "weird" territory now.
It would help to know whether the problem is with this iMovie project or all iMovie projects. Create a new project on the external drive and try Ken Burns there. Does Ken Burns render okay?
1. If it renders successfully, that suggests the problem is with this project. It's probably not a software problem.
You have moved the project from one drive to another, so this may be a permissions problem, where you don't have permission to modify a file or folder inside the project. This can occur after moving a project from one drive to another. iMovie may think you don't have permission to add files in the way Ken Burns wants to add them.
The easiest solution may to tell your Mac to ignore permissions on the drive. Use the checkbox in the Get Info window of the drive to do that. Click on the drive in the Finder and choose File>Get Info. You'll see the checkbox at the bottom of the window. Relaunch iMovie and try again.
Another solution is to manually change the user permissions of the items inside the project. That gets a little complicated, for unlike a normal Finder folder, you can't easily apply the permissions of a package to its contents. Follow the instructions here, working on a copy of your project:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2811543&#2811543
2. If Ken Burns does not render successfully in your initial test, that suggests a software problem affecting all iMovie projects, at least all projects on that drive.
Try creating a new user account. Re-boot your Mac, sign in as that user, and test a new project on that drive. If the problem goes away, that suggests a software conflict exists when you are the user. Rule out conflicts caused by third-party QuickTime add-ons and iMovie plug-ins. Their locations are described here:

Please let us what what you find.

Cannot rip a cd with internal drive while burning disc with external drive

Does anyone know why I cannot access any disc with my internal superdrive while Toast Titanium 11 is burning a blu-ray movie on my external drive?
Drive that is being used to burn externally is a LG WH10LS30 model

Pretty simple. You just can't do that.

How to create burn folder for backup with 2 accounts

Share OneDrive Biz folder with Customers

Our business model relies upon customers or potential customers sending us data files. Usually in the pre-contract stage , the file exchange is ad hoc and person to person. Usually through email. If a file is too big, we have FTP but a portion of the customers don't have the skillset to use FTP effectively. We get asked if we have drop box or the like.We do have E3 Office 365, and I do know you can create a folder in OneDrive Business and share it with someone by sending an invite to their email address.But the only way that person could get into the folder is by using a Microsoft Account. So obviously that creates a heavy obstacle.How do you approach this? I was thinking of some options, Im not a big fan of either.1 - Each time we need to share a folder create a user account that belongs to us. When sharing a folder with external...

Hi Jarkaos2013,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to share one folder in OneDrive for Business with a SharePoint 2013 online group.
By default, you can only share one folder with users or groups in the local domain. You can create a group in AD, then share one OneDrive folder with the group. However, you are not able to share a folder with a SharePoint 2013 online group.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

"Name is already taken" by a burn folder

When I burn a CD, I prefer to rename it to match the contents, such as "Birthday Party". That is a normal contextual menu option for any blank CD. If the burn fails, I can eject the bad disc and insert a fresh one, and it mounts as "Untitled CD". If I try to rename it "Birthday Party", I get the message "The name "Birthday Party" with extension ".fpbf" is already taken." The burn folder with that name cannot be deleted, but I can remove it from the sidebar. That doesn't change anything about the error. How can I properly remove a burn folder so the system forgets its name and allows me to reuse the name? Don't suggest that I restart. I know that will work. I simply want to know how to properly delete a burn folder so its name is forgotten by the system.

I do not get any message at all when I try to trash it. The folder simply does not move to the trash. I marked this solved before I tried the unlocking solution, but I am confident it will work. It seems counter-intuitive to have a locked by default action, since a burn folder should be editable. I thought that was one of the main ideas of a burn folder.

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.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive?Pls.help.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.

Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing!

Switched on my imac 24inch intel based and all I get on screen is a folder with question mark flashing,I had backup on external hard drive but when I try to reinstall it can not find my mac hard drive

Hi when I started my intel based imac this morning all I am getting is a folder with question mark in the middle flashing,I have external hard drive with backup,but when run disc utilities it does not show my mac hard drive.hope someone can help.(it's running mountain lion, well it was)

Try starting up your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
The question mark folder indicates your Mac cannot find a system folder to boot from.
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

Create a Playlist from external folder with tracks already existing in iTunes

I was just wondering if its possible to create a playlist from an external folder (on my desktop) with tracks that already exist in iTunes.
I basically have a folder on my desktop that i use with Serato, i was wondering if it'd be possible to sort a playlist in iTunes with the tracklist from the folder? I already have all the tracks on iTunes so i don't want to add them onto iTunes again just to put them into a playlist as i'd have to sort through all the duplicates to delete the non playlisted tracks (theres around 1500 so it wouldn't be a quick task).
Would be much appreciated if anybody can help!

Hi,
I have an AppleScript that does this.
This script need Spotlight metadata, all files in the folder that you use with Serato should be indexed.
Works well if the tags (name and artist) are defined
In this script :
it will display a dialog to select your folder
iTunes search track from the library playlist according to (artist, album and title in the Spotlight metadata of each file).
If iTunes found a track, iTunes will add this track to the new playlist.
The script takes 35 seconds for 1000 files on an old machine (PowerMac G5 2 X 1.8 GHz) .
This should take less than 100 seconds for 3500 files on the new machine
Here is the script :
-- this script need Spotlight metadata, files in the folder should be indexed
set folderPath to (choose folder with prompt "Select the folder that you use with Serato")
set f to quoted form of POSIX path of folderPath
my makePlaylist(do shell script "/usr/bin/find " & f & " -type f \\! -name '.*' -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 /usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemTitle -name kMDItemAlbum -name kMDItemAuthors | /usr/bin/sed 'H;$!d;x;s/\\n[^k]//g'")
on makePlaylist(t)
      script o
            property L : paragraphs of t
      end script
      set tc to (count o's L)
      tell application "iTunes"

            set masterLibr to (get first playlist whose special kind is Music)

            set {tAlbum, tArtist, tTitle} to my getvalue(items i thru (i + 2) of o's L)
            tell application "iTunes" to try
                  set t to (get first track of masterLibr whose name is tTitle and artist is tArtist and album is tAlbum)
                  duplicate t to newPlaylist -- add founded track from the library playlist to the new playlist

                        tell i to if it does not contain "(null)" then
                              if last text item starts with "\"" then
                                    set aut to text 2 thru -2 of (last text item)
                              else

Have a still folder with a question mark and OS on external HDD isn't loading onto the Mac Pro

Good Morning....... I'm having an issue with this Mac Pro I've recently purchased that came with an 500GB HDD and I added an 2TB HDD also, but it never had an OS on it and when you power on the Mac Pro, you'll get a still folder with a question mark on it. I am very determined to get this situation corrected!!! I had got a copy of Snow Leopard on a blank DVD from a friend of mine but nothing had changed or occurred when I put it in the optical drive & I even saved Maverick installation on an external HDD; it read the drive when I held down the option key during the startup chime, I choose the external because that’s the only volume it shown on the screen; nothing else!!! No sign of the copied disk, the two HDDs that's in the Mac Pro, just the external HDD with the OS on it; I choose the external with Maverick on it but it still doesn't read and then a still folder with the question mark appears..... Can someone please help & save me PLEASE?????????

Buy a retail copy of Snow Leopard, then we can "chat" and get you with a system installed.
