Burning discs with the Finder

Thanks for taking the time to read my post!
I am not able to burn CDs in the Finder through the use of a "burn folder." Even when I have inserted a blank disc my computer tells me to "Insert a blank disc to begin."
Blank CDs do not show up on my desktop, and when I looked at the discs in Disc Utility it says that they are "read only" and have 0 capacity.
I know that the problem is not with the discs or with my drive, however, because I can burn CDs through iTunes and iPhoto. i just can't in the finder.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Powerbook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I was having the same problem. I changed my System Preferences > CDs & DVDs > When you insert a blank CD: and System Preferences > CDs & DVDs > When you insert a blank DVD: from "Ignore" to "Open Finder." Now the blank disc shows up on the Desktop and the clicking "Burn" actually does something productive. This sounds like a bug in OS X to me.
Hope that helps.

Can you burn discs with the HP Pavilion H8-1224?

I tried telling the Geek Squad that my bottom silver button on the expansion bay won't workon my HP Pavilion H8-1224 & I can no longer burn discs. They said the button does not open anything but it used to. Am I losing my marbles?

Hi,
Yes, you can check supported blank discs from the following link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03220156#N728
It ONLY has one Optical drive. I don't know how you could open the second button.
Regards.

How to burn disc with period (.) in name? Finder says ".fpbf" extension req

I'm trying to burn a disc with the date in the name, like "mydisc 2006.10.31" but the finder says "you cannot remove or change the extension .fpbf because it is required by the finder."
What is this supposed to mean? I don't want a disc with that extension. In 10.39 burning a disc with this name was not an issue. If I then burn the disc and try to put the name in the window asking me the disk speed, then the disc burns but shows up as "mydisc 2006.10". It also appears that adding the ".fpbf" extension to the disc name, when in the finder, makes the disc show up normally before it is burned, but still burns without the last digits. Have not tried renaming just before burn confirmation yet.

It appears that adding ".fpbf" in the dialog when you confirm the disc name and burn speed, such as "mydisc 2006.10.31.fpbf" will then burn the disc correctly with the name as "mydisc 2006.10.31".
An ungainly but functional workaround. The disc name also then appears correct in OS9, so its not just a 'Finder trick' after its burned, the disc name is actually correct.

It was possible in the AirPort utility V5, but in the new V6 I can't find this option.

HT4759 Is it true that when setting up devices with the find my phone app you must use the same account for ICloud ? If so how do I delete a current account to make it read as the other ICloud accounts?

I'm setting up my devices with the find my phone app. I have accomplished setting up 2 devices. The third I can't setup because I can't change the iCloud account.
My understanding from reading that the iCloud accounts must use the same name on all devices. How do I change that account in my phone settings?

You don't have to use the same iCloud account in order to track all your devices. You just have to sign into the iCloud account being used on the device you are trying to track in order to track it. When you sign in on icloud.com and open Find My iPhone, you will see all the devices with Find My iPhone enabled that are using the account you signed in with. To track a device using a different account, simply sign out, then sign back in using the ID the new device is using.
The Find My iPhone app works the same way. It will display devices based on the iCloud account you sign in with on the app. To track a device using a different account, sign out, then sign back in with the iCloud ID that the new device is using.

Can't establish a sftp connection with the finder

Hi, I'm trying to establish a sftp connection with the finder (using the "Connect to server" feature) between my (recently purchased) Mac Mini (mid 2011: i5, 2.3 GHz, 2 GB, running 10.7.3) and a Debian Testing box and I can't, I get the following error:
'There was a problem connecting to the server "ip.address"
This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. Try to connect again later.'
However if I try establishing a connection from the terminal (either ssh or sftp) it works flawlessly:

SFTP:

sftp>
I've searched for a fix or alternative on the internet and I haven't found one that works; The one that keeps coming up is to try: "ftps" as the protocol instead of "sftp" with the remaining information the same (it doesn't work, it gets the same error message afterwards).
The IP address and login information works (corroborated by the fact that I can log in from the terminal from the Mac Mini) so the only issue is with the finder capabilities for establishing the connection. I have looked for apple related documentation or How Tos but I haven't found anything useful.
I don't want to use any third party app or tweak because of the sensitive information that is going to be transfered, I would like to be using strictly the tools from the OS.
If you need any more information please let me know, any help is deeply appreciated.

I have the same issue although i kind of fixed it. I have two admin accounts and one of the account's safari did the same thing as yours, except, it was the startpage and everypage i tried to visit. I reseted safari, as in the erase all data safari in the toolbar, safari-Reset Safari... But safari still didn't work. I logged out and went to my other account and opened safari. Now it works fine on both accounts. This meant safari had to logout before actually working better. I have this a few times these days.

How can I open FireFox with the 'Find' box/bar always open?

When FireFox opens, click 'Edit' and 'Find'. This opens the box/bar at the bottom of the screen. I use it so often, I would like FireFox to open with the 'Find' box/bar already open.

You are welcome. Happy New Year, Aivas.

Can't find some strings with the Find function in LV2012

Hi
I got a problem with the "Find function" in LV2012.
The Find function can't find the text "IniFile: WriteKeys" in the string constant in the innercase.
Why is that?
I have tried to plase a copy of the constant(se next picture) and then it can only find the one marked with yellow!
regards Bjarne

Hi Anders.
Thank you
I have tried the things you suggested and my strings are exactly the same and it didn't work to put the outside-string(that could be found) inside the case.
Here is the VI but be aware the broken arrow, because the sub VIs is not incorporated
By the way, my name is Bjarne, not Bjarke
Regards Bjarne

HT204407 Need help with the Find Friends ap

My daughter uses the same apple ID that I do and I'm trying to follow her with the Find Friends ap. I've installed it on her phone and requested her as a friend from my phone. When I installed it on her phone it is basically using the same Apple account so it says I am requesting myself as a friend. It won't give me her location! How can I get the ap to show me her location?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
I'd be inclined to let your daughter have her own Apple ID for iCloud and Find Freinds, even if you share one for iTunes.

Can someone find a iphone after its been "wiped" with the "find me" app?

Im sure this question has been asked time and time again but can someone find a stolen iphone after its been "wiped" with the "find me" app?
this was the first time this has happen to me :-(. i think its sad the lowlifes are going around taking peoples iphones (and other items). Not that any body cares im a student putting myself through school who saved money to buy this phone not even a month ago. i feel so confliced because i question if i shouldve taken that one call and replied to a text msg in the first place.... thank god for insurance but im a broke collage student so it only goes so far but i digress. i am open to any suggestions into what i can do to pervent this happing again. i do know about the find me app.
also im new to this forum thing; normally im just a "reader" of these things. so with that said, could you please post helpful information or thoughts i would greatly appreciate it. I thank you in advance!

you should be able to still located your device. it can be found by using another device with the find me app. using the phone number should located it. although, people who steal these devices are usually smart about it. they will wipe the slate clean on phone and turn off the enable location function and just use it as a ipod touch basically and jail break it. yes it is sad that people cant keep their hands off of peoples things. but i would go to your nearest service preovider and let them know what happen. they will be able to do a location pin point for you if its not too late. i would do it , like.... tomorrow. good luck

HT204266 How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?

How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?
I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app? I am hoping someone could prove me wrong or give me another solution to getting it back. I have a lot of photos, videos and memories in that phone and I would do anything to get it back. Please help!

"I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app?"
It is not an app. It is a feature of icloud and iphone. Did you set it up on the iphone itself BEFORE it was stolen? If not, then you cannot track it at all.
Change your passwords and report it to the police.

TS4006 I have a problem, I locked my MacBook Pro "mountain lion" with the find my iPhone app. When I returned home to unlock my MacBook thats where the problem began. I was unable to unlock the MacBook with the code I then called apple they cou

I've been locked out my MacBook Pro, I was able to lock the MacBook with the find my iPhone app but I'm unable to unlock it with the app or by punching in the code directly to the MacBook, so far the apple store or reps over the phone can not help. I've called a third party retail store for assistance and the tell me I have to pay, even if I get it to work or not... So far nothing these apple "genius" will do to help with this product solution.
I know my passcode/password but I am not able to log in....
Is there anyone that can help?

I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.
