Burning data on music cd

Hi everyone,
I'm new to mac... so maybe it's a stupid question...
I'm making a music cd for my girlfriend... but she asked only 10 tracks...
so I figured, I might aswell fill the cd up with photos and other misc. files...
anyone know how to do that?
Would it work making a burn folder with all the different files or
would it just burn the mp3 files like that (and become unreadable through cd players)?
grtz,
Julien

Your best option would be to use Toast from Roxio, and even then I still do not know if it's possible to do what you want. Honestly, I wouldnt even bother with it, as it would be more trouble then it's worth. Plus CDs are so cheap, who care if you waste one.
If you're really dead set on doing this, then post your question on Roxio's discusson forums, as OS X cannot do it.

Unable to burn data or music

Hello,
I am unable to burn anything. I have tried via iTunes and a burn folder...music or data, doesn't matter.

Burning Data DVD's

When I try to create and use a burn folder to store a collection of jpg's all I can add are alias', not the pictures themselves. This function works just fine on the Mac Pro running Tiger but I can't drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste in Leopard. How do I fix this?

Go to Mac Help and enter burning data dvds in the question box: the following comes up but unless you go to the Mac Help site, the links below will not forward.
About burning your own CDs or DVDs
You can burn files to a CD or DVD, and then use that disc as a backup, send it to friends, or copy those files to another machine. Mac OS X burns discs that can also be used on Windows computers and other types of computers.
Burning a disc quickly
You can burn a disc by dragging files to it and then clicking the Burn button.

Burning a CD or DVD
Burning the same files to discs multiple times
You can create multiple discs with the same collection of files by creating a burn folder and then burning that folder to a disc as many times as you want. For example, you can create a burn folder with data files that you frequently back up or with video files that you want to create several copies of to share with several people.

How burn data CD or DVD with documents/songs not in iTunes Library?

How do I burn data CD/DVD with items not located in iTunes Library? Prior to the update to iTunes 8.0.2, I could burn Data CDs/DVD from my desktop - these were documents files, and audiobooks/songs not located in iTunes Library. Now I can't get the burn preferences window to show up. Something has changed in the iTunes 8.0.2 update which keeps me from burning anything that is not in iTunes library. Please advise. Thank you.

Dear Zevoneer,
As a test, I created a New Burn Folder on the desktop, transferred aliases for music and documents not in iTunes Library, totaling about 2.5GB. I burned all on to a 4.7 GB DVD-R. Everything burned properly and quickly as usual. And each item is an accurate replica of my files.
Perhaps I was wrong in thinking that a few months ago when I burned non-iTunes Library items, I always got a Burn Preferences Window on my desktop. No matter, it all went well. And I also learned that we now burn songs in iTunes only via the playlist window, where "Burn" brings on the Burn preferences choices.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Generosa

How do I burn data cd's?

I'm new to Mac's and I can't figure out how to burn files to a cd. itunes is for music, iphoto burns pictures, what do I use to burn data?

Use Finder
Insert your blank cd / dvd it will ask you to ignore, open finder or else, choose open finder.
Simply drag all your data there, and when you are done drag that disk icon to trash to burn it or just click burn button.
Be advise sometimes if you drag from desktop it only created shortcut, so you need to press alt as well while dragging the data (it will show plus sign) to the disk.
If other apps open when you insert the blank media, it means your preference for it already changed, go to system preference > CD/DVD and choose to open finder everytime you insert blank CD / DVD.
Happy burning & good luck.

Previously burned data DVD comes up "blank"

My previously burned data DVD's are now coming up as "untitled" and blank. However, my dvd will read a movie DVD. These discs are perfectly clean of smudges/scratches. These discs open fine on my other iMac.
The DVD will read data and music cds. Why would it not read all my DVD-r back up discs? Help, please.
I've ran the utility to repair permissions, and shut down-unplugged for 15-replugged and started up. No difference.

Not yet, but again I cannot see the relevance to dust particles being the issue if the laser reads video DVDs just fine. And it reads CDs just fine.
Maybe this has something to do with the DVDs? These are stored stacked inside a plastic container in a cabinet.
I am leaning more in the area of a defective SuperDrive or at leaset in the Superdrive firmware? Something set this off, but I have not updated any software since this happened.
I'm heading out the door and will pick up a cleaning cloth. I seriousely doubt this is the issue but will try it for the sake of eliminating another step.
Thank you for your replies. Any other suggestions are surely welcome.

MAT**bleep**A SR-8175 won't recognize burned data cds

I did a fresh Windows 2000s install on an A21 P. Everything is fine, except that the dvd/cd drive will not recognize or read burned data cds. It reads store bought data cds, store bought music cds and burned music cds, but not burned data cds (I have not tried any dvds).
I tried to use the lenovo thinkpad optical drive update cd to see if it needed a firmware update, but of course it can't read the cd because it was burned.
There is a floppy optical drive checker also from lenovo. That showed no drive.
Thanks in advance

Although, since when has a DVD that was rated for a higher speed NOT been able to be burned at a slower/lower speed?
Since always, if the data layer in the disc is sufficiently different from what the drive expects. In a high-speed drive, a disc with a high speed rating can be burned at any speed within the drive's range, often including very low speeds. But in a low-speed burner, high-speed media may not be usable at any speed, because its data layer is very different from what the drive was designed to work with. You may not be able to see the difference easily, but the drive does, and rejects the disc thinking it's defective.
Back before DVD drives and media were common, this problem arose all the time with people trying to read early CD-RW discs in the CD-ROM drives of older Macs: it couldn't be done. When the speed ratings of CD-R media skyrocketed to 48x and 52x, some CD-ROM drives couldn't read the high-speed CD-R media either, though that problem was less common.
When optical drives generally cost upwards of $200-250, it was hard to tell anyone that the simplest solution was to replace the outmoded drive with something newer and more capable. Now that you can buy a slot-loading high-speed dual-layer DVD burner with all the bells and whistles for under $100, it behooves anyone who can use those capabilities to go ahead and get one. As for me, I've never tried to burn a DVD in my UJ-815, and now that slow media are almost impossible to find, I probably never will. If I decide to burn more than one or two DVDs sometime, I'll replace my drive. You might save yourself some hassle by doing the same.
As for -RW media, I never bother with it: it's way overpriced and too often has problems. I've always had good luck with the cheapest CD-R discs on sale at Costco, Staples, etc. for about 15 cents apiece in large packages. I occasionally burn an archival disc using high-priced 200-year Delkin or MAM-A media, but for the most part, cheapies serve me fine.

Siri can't find music unless I enable use cellular data for Music

I have an iPhone 4S with the latest IOS. I ask Siri to play music but "she" can't find it unless I "enable" Use Cellular Data for Music.
As soon as I enabled this setting in the Settings -> Cellular section Siri could find and play the music.
I certainly don't understand why this is happening. Why isn't Siri able to just find what is local to my iPhone and play the music.
Can someone enlighten me on why this would happen?

Hi Chris,
Songs are on the iPhone - there is no cloud symbol (I'm familiar with that as well).
I've updated my signature - I am running the latest OSX and IOS (thanks for reminding me).

After installing any version of itunes. Told failed to install properly and could not burn or import music from Cd's. Also will not allow eithre one of my 2 ipods to sync with it as well.

ITunes 7.3.1/Burning Data CD's or DVDs

I've been burning DVDs and CDs for a long time now through iTunes. But it seems that since I've updated to the new 7.3.1 verson of iTunes, I can't burn Data on either my Mac or my PC. For my Mac, it says that the burn speed is too fast. Even when I've lowered it to 1x. It won't burn at all. For my PC, I was able to burn DVDs for a brief time after I updated to 7.3.1 but now I get an error "the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occured (261)" I've been using the same DVDs and CDs for years and never had a problem. I also gave my co-worker a disc that failed in my machine and he was able to write on it with no problems.
My co-worker and I have the same PC and he is able to burn DVDs fine and he updated his iTunes as well. Does ANYONE have an answer for me? I'm stumped and there doesn't seem to be anything written up on this error.

I also had some trouble getting my point across the first time. I clearly explained that I know how to do a backup. I am writing to you about an ERROR MESSAGE, not a how to procedure. From that point on, they were quite understanding and they stopped talking down to me.
I had also written about the 261 error. Although they never gave me a solution, they did write a few times with some temporary suggestions.
At least they assured me that the backup errors were well documented and that a new version was being worked on. They even went so far as to tell me last night that the version was coming out today.
They obviously need a better way to communicate to the whole community, at one time, in one place. I was happy to get their ear and know someone with the ability to fix it, was fixing it.
As I said before, 7.2 will be on my computer for a very long time. It has everything I want and need and it works perfectly. That is MY SOLUTION. I have no desire to be an unpaid volunteer to test their software.
We all know that 7.3 had to be released, ready or not, to correspond to the IPHONE release. The wealth of error in the latest version are directly related and not a surprise.
I wish you well.

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
Yours Bengt W

Error Burning Data to DVD-R's

I have been trying to burn data to a DVD-R with my MAC Dual2.S GHz PowerPC GS with OS X (version 10.3.9) and have been getting an error every time.
I am using DVD-R Verbatime DVD's (16x) and have tried more than one DVD at more than one speed without success.
One other person in my office (with the same computer) has the same problems (with the same DVDS) and two others in my office seemed to be able to get it to work and we cannot figure out vi-by since the variables appear to be the same.
My error occurs only after I try and burn the disc. I seem to have no problem coping data to the DVD but when I go to burn it appears to work at first and than I get an error message which reads:
'Burning disc: "name*
An error occurred while burning this disc. This disc can not be used.*
Another box also always pops up asking to name the blank DVD (which I already had when the DVD was inserted).
Can you help with this issue?
Thank you.

Hi Amrick:
Welcome to discussions!
You really should not be asking this in this forum. Better to post in the iDVD forums from now on...
But, may I suggest that you use Verbatim DVD-R at 4x or slower to burn. Plus you need to wait for iDVD to ask you to insert the disk prior to inserting it.

PLEASE HELP! finding ORIGINAL release date of music

Does anyone know of a way to change the default release date of music to the actual date the music was released? Is there a more efficient way, other than looking up each song one at a time at a site like www.allmusic.com? PLEASE HELP!!

Just in case I'm interpreting something about your description, you don't need to change info for every song one at a time.
If you have a lot of songs in which they are the only song of a given album, then yes, you have to. But in the case where you want to change all the tracks on a given album to have the release date of that album, you can select all the tracks for that album by clicking the first track, holding SHIFT, and then clicking the last track. Then press CMD+i to bring up the Info window and you can change the date for the whole album at once.
