Burning a new CD-RW works first time, doesn't work after erase

Hello all,
My problem has a little twist that I couldn't find a solution to after spending a
few hours digging in all the forums.
I have never been able to re-use a stack of Sony CD-RW disks (p/n CDRW650L
rated for 1X, 2X, and 4X drives).
I can burn them fine the first time but doing an erase renders them unuseable.
I've been using a utility called CD-Erase that came bundled on this iMac G4.
I recently learned that I can (should?) erase from the Disk Utility app -
however, this didn't work either.
Is there a known list of incompatible CD-RW 's ?
I have yet to try another mfgr since I ASSUME I can trust name brands,
especially if the CD-RW and the drive are both made by Sony.
Details of my internal drive:
Manufacturer: SONY
Model: SONY DVD RW DW-U10A
Revision: A43h
Serial Number: EA59142B
Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
Disc Burning: Apple Supported/Shipped
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: No
Protocol: ATAPI
Unit Number: 0
Socket Type: Internal
Thanks in advance,

I'm unfamiliar with the disc erase utility you mention; and it may be
partially responsible for the results you are getting. Have you tried
other disc recording utilities to see if you can get better results?
The only one I've tried, and it worked successfully to erase and record
on a previously used CD-RW (the first disc I've burned) was an easily
used disc recording utility called "Burn 1.6u" and there may be a newer
version of this out, now. Seems to me I checked and found a link online
again to get a newer version from the source: http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/
Hope this helps; and if it does, please post back. Could be the issue is
only in the erase cd utility you have. It may be making mistakes.

Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.

Yes, it will do a full backup.
and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?
Only if you want to be able to go back in time to those previous Time Machine backups. When you plug in the new larger external drive, you will only be able to go back as far as the first day you plugged it in and ran the first Time Machine backup on it.

Installing a new forest for the first time in 2008 R2 SP1

Installing a new forest for the first time in 2008 R2 SP1 with no other forests present do I run:
E:\support\adprep\adprep /domainprep
or any other adprep to get the forest ready using the Answer File:
[DCINSTALL]

Hi,
As per your statement, there aren't any other forest which mean you are creating a new AD forest in windows server 2008 R2 SP1.
You don't need to run adprep then. Just run dcpromo on the server and select new forest and provide a Domain Name and follow the instruction.

Hooking up my iphone to a new computer for the first time....

My computer broke and isn't worth fixing so I can't access it again. My mom just bought her a new laptop so I just inherited the one she had been using (actually ended up working out great for me cause it's only a year old and nicer than mine that broke). My new computer didn't have iTunes on it until I just installed it a few moments ago.
My question is whether or not I need to be concerned that my iPhone is gonna be erased the first time I plug it into this new computer? I'm concerned I'll lose all my contacts, apps, photos, settings etc. Just last week I backed up all my music and movies to my external drive, luckily I happened to do that right before the computer died so I'm not worried about that.
If it is a problem how do I stop it from erasing all that when it syncs?

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and videos with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.
When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. The original resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone. All photos on your computer and all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data, which should include your iTunes library as well.
Backing up your iTunes library per the instructions included with this link and transferring the backup to a new or different computer will prevent any iTunes content from being erased from your iPhone first when transferring iTunes content from a new or different computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize the new or different computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
You can use a 3rd party paid utility such as this one to transfer photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your former computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost, and such utilities are not supported by Apple.
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. If you aren't doing so, contacts on your iPhone are not touched when syncing your iPhone with iTunes on a new or different computer. If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer and the supported address book application on the computer is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book application on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

I turned on my new imac for the first time and it is making a loud fan noise please help

I just got a new computer and when I turned it on for the first time it started making a loud fan noise. the noise seems like it is coming from the back speaker. and it does not make the noise on sleep mode.

Connect the iPad to a USB 2.0 port your computer with the cable and iTunes should launch and it will take you through the process step by step.
I assume that your computer meets the requirements and that you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.

Mega 865 don't recognize on first time a SATA HDD after shutdown from Windows

Hi,
I have problem with a SATA HDD (Maxtor 300GB Diamondmax10) in MEGA 865 Barebone:
After I shutdown the PC from Windows when I turn on again the PC the HDD don't start on first time, I need to turn off the PC and turn on again and the HDD will start and recognize.
I tried to format HDD and reinstall Windows, to test the HDD with Maxtor Powermax utility and install the hard disk in other PC but the hard disk is ok. Last I turn on the PC without connect the SATA cable, only the power cable and the hard disk start properly every time.
I tried to upgrade BIOS to last version 1.30 and I make various configuration of BIOS and also I tried to replace SATA cable.
There isn't SATA driver in CD supplied by MSI (only Intel INF driver but no solve the problem).
I think that every time that I shutdown the PC will be stored a standby command in SATA controller that no permit to start the hard disk on first time.
I hope that you help me. Thanks.

That's right, at least for now.
I tried to imply that perhaps your particular type of HDD has some compatibility problem with the SATA ctontroller of Mega 895. Therefore my suggestion was to see if microcode/firmware updates are available for the HDD.

[SOLVED] systemd/cron as user: timer doesn't start after boot

Hello,
I've tried to follow the wiki's systemd/cron functionality article to have a systemd service to run hourly.
Everything seems to be working ok, except that the hourly timer doesn't start automatically : I have to issue a
systemctl --user timer-hourly.timer start
command every time I start the machine to get the timer running.
Can you help me understand what I'm missing to get the (user) timer to start automatically after boot?
Thanks!
My setup consists of the following files:

test_service.py is a simple python script that appends the current time to a file, to check if the service is being run by the timer. (it is after I start the timer after boot, and runs correctly every hour)
db_backup.sh is a script that dumps a database into a text file in a mercurial repository, commits the change and pushes it to backup locations.

Have you tried this:
systemctl --user enable timer-hourly.timer

Firefox will not go to a new website on the first time that I click a link. I get a connection problem message firt but then when I click on "try again" it works.

I get a connection error every time.

What is the message to the left of the Allow button? Hopefully with that information we can advise on changes to your settings to resolve the issue.
You also could supply a URL of a site that has this problem, assuming we don't need an account to check it out.

HT202225 I keep getting pop ups on my iMac for the first time in 6 years after one of my kids tried to watch football through crichd tv. safari now opens with smart search engine rather than google every time i try to open a new web page.

Ever since one of my kids tried to watch football on a website called crichd tv I keep getting pop us come up like Mackeeper and every time i try to open a web page it comes up with Smartsearch rather than google which is my preferred search engine in preferences. I have blocked extensions and changed homepage to google but this Smartsearch keeps overriding. Also a thing called MacKeeper keeps popping up I have followed the instructions to uninstall but the file it says to move to trash from the Applications folder but it simply isn't there or anywhere else. The file to uninstall Smartsearch is also not where they say it is in Library>frameworks>
Very frustrating from going from a perfectly working system to a now very frustrating and annoying pop ups coming uo after every time i open a new web page.
Any help or assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated.

You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

I'm receiving the "an unexpected error occurred" notice.
There are several things that you can do to try to resolve the bug in Mavericks that causes this issue.
The first is to make sure that you have set IPv6 to "link local only" for both WiFi and Ethernet. Part of that process is clicking "OK" to confirm, but then you must also click "Apply" in another window for things to "stick". This is an easy step to miss...and a lot of users are missing it.
Please confirm that you have set "link local only" for both WiFi and Ethernet and that you have clicked both OK and Apply to save the changes.
You would want to restart your Mac after you make these changes.
If you are still having difficulty, the next step would be to try an iPad or iPhone for the setup, if you have one handy.
But, before you do that, we need to understand how you are trying to set up the Time Capsule. What will connect to what? What is the make and model number of your modem?
