Burning a CD to an alternate Drive

I am trying to burn musing that I have bought from iTunes to backup my purchase and I am automatically defaulting to my D drive which is not working. How can I change it to another drive that also is a burner?

I too bought a CD burner and ran into problems. the IOMEGA USB DVD/CD burner is not recognized in System Profile as a disc burning drive. The entry says: disc burning not supported. At first I thought that it was because my old G4's USB had too little transfer rate so I bought a card to remedy that. the card did not solve my problem either. Even though Roxio's Toast 6 sees by burner if I put a clean disc in the butner it gets kicked out with the message: disc burning not supported. I am able to burn a disc with the software that came with the burner, it is called Discribe. Nut using iTunes 5 to butn is no possible. I'd like to replace iTunes period since it is terrible in managing my files but if I do that I cannot connect to my iPod. I use Virtual PC 7 to run Win XP but it is way too slow to adequately run Jukebox. I may have to buy a Windows PC again if I'm to do what I really want. It seems like such waste of resources. If anyone can help I'd like to hear from you.

  • Moving iTunes Mobile Applications folder to an alternate drive

    I found out how to move the iTunes Mobile Applications folder to either an external drive or as in my case, from my 256GB SSD systems/application drive to a non-SSD drive on my desktop (3.0 TB in size). This is important for any iTunes users with their systems/applications on a SSD drive (i.e. on the C: drive but with constrained SSD drive space). In my case, my Mobile Apps folder is 40+ GB in size.
    iTunes allows you to easily move your iTunes music folder to an alternate drive but it does not provide a means to move the Mobile Apps folder. I have confirmed this. However, in Windows Vista, 7 and 8, using the “mklink” command, you can set up a symbolic link from the iTunes Mobile Apps folder on the C: drive to the relocated Mobile Apps folder on another drive. iTunes thinks it is adding new Mobile Apps to the C: drive Mobile Applications folder, but it is actually updating the real Mobile Apps folder on the alternate drive. I’ve tried this approach and it works like a charm. The steps required are as follows:
    1. Copy the existing Mobile Apps folder and its content on the C: drive to its new location on an alternate drive on your desktop or to an external drive.
    2. Note and record the exact detailed path to the existing Mobile Applications folder as well as the exact detailed path for the new Mobile Applications folder
    3. Delete the existing Mobile Applications folder (You cannot create a symbolic link to a directory that already exists on that same drive)
    4. Open a Command Prompt (admin) window on your desktop. On Windows 8, this is easily done by right clicking the start icon on the bottom left of the desktop screen and selecting the Command Prompt (admin) option.
    5. change directory to C:\  (i.e., enter cd c:\)
    6.  enter the mklink command and press enter  (format mklink /d link_address   target_address) for my Windows system this looked like the following:
         mklink /d "C:\Users\Marv\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications" "D:\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications"
    This command recreates the Mobile Applications folder on the C: drive in the exact place it was before, but only as a pointer to the real folder on the alternate or external drive. The link is transparent to iTunes and my 40+ GB Mobile Applications folder can be on a large drive rather than on my 256GB SSD systems/applications drive.

    It requires elevation. If you find the command line application (cmd.exe), right-click, run as administrator, and paste the command, that will work.
    However, this technique, which worked for me in the past, seems now to be failing. All new downloads are in the root of iTunes Media. The bizarre thing is that iTunes thinks it has put a downloaded file in the correct folder, so says it cannot play it, and if I move it manually to the correct folder, iTunes sees it without problems. I've tried mklink /d and mklink /j, neither works (the former shows the redirected target pathname, the latter behaves as if the target path is actually part of the native directory structure).

  • Alternate drives in Jar file Class-Path attribute

    Hello, all. I am working on a project that I would like to package into a single jar file for simple execution. At my place of work classes from EJB are stored on a different drive from where I am doing the development. I am having trouble accessing those classes from the Jars I am creating. When I try the following manifest:
    Main-Class: MyPackage.MyClass
    Class-Path: U:\someFolder
    the application will not start, saying that MyPackage.MyClass cannot be found. This is despite MyPackage.MyClass being properly packaged into the Jar file, as verified by a jar t operation. When I leave off the drive letter in the Class-Path attribute:
    Main-Class: MyPackage.MyClass
    Class-Path: someFolder
    the application starts and executes properly right up until a class from someFolder is needed, at which point exceptions begin to be thrown.
    Any ideas will be much appreciated!
    John Todd

    I was eventually able to find the answer to my own question: Jars do not accept absolute paths at all, only relative paths. Thus, the alternate drive approach will not work. Fortunately I was able to find an alternate solution.

  • Lightroom cache files permanently written to alternate drive

    I've encountered an unusual problem using LR version 1.4.1 under Windows XP. Whenever I preview a RAW file in LR, a cache file is being written to an alternate drive, named Cache0000000001.dat, with each additional preview increasing the last digit in the file name by 1, Cache0000000002.dat, etc., and an Index.dat file. Each cache file is 2532kb or 8607kb depending on the size of the original RAW file. After closing Lightroom, these files remain on the disk and have to be manually deleted.
    This has only begun to happen in the past couple of days. I therefore assume it's due to some change I've made recently. The change began after I removed Photoshop CS2 after having both CS2 and CS3 installed for several weeks. I don't know how the particular disk for writing these cache files is being selected other than the fact that my CS3 scratch disk is the same disk. The Lightroom files are on a separate disk.
    This is not a major problem except that the cache files add up very quickly, taking up a lot of disk space and must be deleted manually after closing LR.
    There is probably no simple explanation for this anomaly but if anyone has any ideas, I certainly would appreciate the input.

    Ian,
    Thanks for the reply. Yes, you are correct. The preferences in Camera Raw determine where these cache files go and does limit the size of the total cache. The default is 10 GB which suits me fine. Where these files have been going in the past is a mystery to me.
    It does seem surprising to me that the location for the Lightroom cache is
    determined in Photoshop Camera Raw but so be it.
    Again, thanks for solving this problem for me.

  • Alternate driver for 7520 that allows 'custom' paper size

    I use photomerging to create panoramas that I want to print at 4 x 13 (or longer).  This was possible on my old Photosmart 6980 by using the 'Custom' paper size to add custom paper types to the choice list.  Unfortunately, my new 7525 (Costco's 7520) does not have the 'Custom' size option. I see in the Forum many complaints about this, and suggestions to install older drivers that did allow custom sizing.  What alternate driver should I use (older, or maybe newer), that will still make full use of the Photosmart 7520 photo-quality printing - the full "564" cartridge set with the photo-black ink along with the tri-colors ?
    This question was solved.

    Hi PrahaMama,
    Sorry for the delay in reply.
    The Photosmart C310a does have a driver download available, for you in Step 1 use this for a download: HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    The steps should be the same for the rest of the setup even though you have Windows 8.

    Hi @suckerfish1, 
    I understand that you are looking for drivers for the 10.4 to use with the LaserJet PRO MFP M127fw. I can help you with this.
    Unfortunately 10.4, isn't a supported operating system, there are no drivers available.

  • I am trying to burn CDs to an external hard drive to conserve space on our laptop. When I change the file location it says the folder on the external drive is invalid. Am I missing a step?

    I am trying to burn CDs to an external hard drive to conserve space on our laptop. When I change the file location it says the destination folder on the external drive is invalid. Am I missing a step?

    It does, but that's definitely strange.  Try showing all hidden files and folders on your Mac to see if that helps.
    To do this, head to Applications -> Utilties -> Terminal and type:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE -> Press Enter
    killall Finder -> Press Enter
    Then navigate out to your iPod again via the Finder. Any luck now?

  • Burn in itunes using external optical drive imac 2009

    My Matsushita optical drive (2009 iMac) no longer works.  Is there an external optical drive that I can purchase for burning music CD's?.  I already have Maverick, but I believe the operating system is not the problem.  The external optical drive has to be compatible with hardware that already has an internal (non-functioning) drive.

    I have a PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-XD09.
    It's worked on systems with or without optical drives for me since 2009.
    It was $69 at Bestbuy.
    It has a USB/Power combo cable that uses TWO USB ports, but I got a 5v AC adapter for $4.99 and now it only needs one USB port to function. I've burned with it under 10.8.4, 10.8.5 and 10.9.0.
    They've upgraded it since I got mine (Link here) so it can burn Blu-Ray now

  • Can I burn a dvd to my hard drive?

    I have a dvd I'd like to keep on my computer for travel and commuting time killing but I can't seem to figure out a way to burn it directly. 'Little help?

    Hi there,
    Copy the video_ts and audio_ts folders from the dvd to a new folder in your Movies folder. Then, google a tiny program called DVDAssist. After following the instructions in DVDAssist you should be able to watch the movie through Front Row without the dvd in your drive.
    (This works perfectly for me on my Mac Book Pro).
    Cheers and best of luck,

  • DVD Burn fails (Error code 0x80020022), newish drive, just applied updates

    Hello,
    when i try to burn a data dvd with a variety of files from finder on my power mac g5 it thinks a while and then fails with the message:
    Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed (Error code 0x80020022)
    I just downloaded the latest OS updates last night.
    Disc utility showed permissions problems in some files on my boot drive including in a darwin folder but they repaired fine.
    Two weeks ago apple replaced my superdrive and i hadn't tried burning a dvd since then, but cds did and do burn fine.
    This computer is under warrantee but in case the latest software updates caused this, or if someone has an easy fix that would allow me to save the trip to the store for analysis and potential couple day wait...
    i'm all ears!
    Thanks, Will

    At one point in the last few days i did run out of disk space on one drive, but i think i had 5Gig free on the short drive when i was trying it earlier, and i have upped that to 30.
    My spindled HP DV-16Xs worked on the drive i had before pretty darn well.. I've tried a bunch of unlabeled ones, i've also tried burning at 1x, and i went out and bought some jewel cased verbatim dvd-r 16Xs, same problem.
    I will take one more shot at finding the best media using that website, get some 8Xs if i can find them, before hauling it into apple.
    without the dvd burner it's hard to backup very well, I was planning to get a external hard drive next month.

    Thank you for your responses guys!
    This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
    I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
    I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
    I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes. I can give more info if you need it.

  • Can't burn any DVDs on external firewire drive

    Since I installed OS 10.4.9, neither DVDSP or toast titanium will recognize a "stable connection" to my external firewire lacie recorder... the message I get from toast is:
    1. Interface Error: -50
    The connection is not stable
    2. The drive reported an error:
    SENSE KEY = Illegal request
    SENSE CODE = 0x30, 0x50
    CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM, INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
    And I've been using the same media for years, without a problem.
    But if I connect this device to another laptop or desktop, it'll work fine.
    It still can burn CDs, and read every format. But just can't burn DVDs.
    DVDSP gives me the same problem. I can use my internal burner but it's slower than using my external drive.
    Ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Burning Two playlist with 2 optical drives IS possible!!!!!

    A few weeks ago I posted a question asking the benefits of a 2nd Optical Drive. I wanted to post the results of what I found. I added a Pioneer DVR-112B (Black). I removed the Bezel so that it would close properly and I removed the face plate to remove the open and close button. I replaced the face plate and intalled the drive. It works flawlessly and shows up as Apple supported and Shipped.
    Now... I am able to burn a DVD, and a CD, I am able to watch a DVD, or listen to a CD while I'm burning.. AND I'm able to burn 2 Audio CD's AT the same time from iTunes. The last one was a suprise for me as it seems most people don't know how to do it. You CANNOT burn the SAME playlist at the same time..but you can burn a 2nd playlist while you burning the 1st one. If you know that you want two copies of a playlist.. then you should make a 2nd playlist of the same songs.
    iTunes COULD handle 2 optical drives better but it doesn't.. You have to tell it which SuperDrive to use and it will only use that drive until you tell it to use the other (in preferences). This only applies to burning... They both will work for playing. You start the playlist that you want to burn on the default iTunes drive. Then... while it is burning.. you open the perference.. select the other optical drive in the Burning CD's tab. Insert the disc you want to burn, into the second drive...select the playlist you want to burn, click burn, Make sure you use the eject key or option eject to close the disc burner...and watch it burn the second playlist WHILE the first one is burning. I only wish that iTunes and the other iLife programs would Automatically pick the disc burner you wanted use. That would defintely be an improvement.
    This was just to let everyone know.. that you can do this. I've seen a few people ask and no one has said it was possible.. but it is.

    Sorry, forgive me but I don't understand what you're suggesting, do you mean in disk utility?
    All I want is a program (preferably free) that asks for the drive of the source/original CD and the destination drive CD and it does the rest (copy/backup of CD) - without having to muck around making images etc. It was a 1 step process with free software for windows (Ulead burn.Now), I'm astounded Mac OS X doesn't have this feature as standard!?!? Or is the only option to buy more software?
