Burning to Third Party

anyone know how to get the 6.09 version of Toast. the newer releases don't burn ITunes purchased music. ( I still trying to comprehend the reasoning behind Apple's persuasion of Roxio to add some sort of baffle to release 6.1 which prevents purchased music from burning. Apple, are you selling external burners for we who have no internal burner in our IMac?)

Hi Hank
Maybe you have to re-authorize those song through iTunes 5.x
If they were purchased through iTunes 6.x -imho- there is no solution.

Burning a Third-Party Boot Disc

Hi,
I'm trying to create a boot disc on my MacBook Pro for another computer. The OS I am going to be burning on there is a third-party OS, NOT Mac. ( http://centos.org/ ) All I am finding is information on how to backup my Mac OS boot disc. I'm on Leopard 10.5.5. Any help?
Cheers,
B

Hi,
although I am having difficulties understanding what you really want to burn/backup, I try answering:
To backup the OSX volume on your internal harddisk you can use Time Machine which is part of OSX Leopard or SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner and an external harddisk.
http://www.apple.com/support/leopard/timemachine/
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html

For burning CDs/DVDs you can use Disk Utility (see the help files in Disk Utility for how-to) or SimplyBurns which I prefer.
http://simplyburns.berlios.de/
For making a copy of your OSX Installation DVD you must use a DVD-DL+R since the OSX DVD is larger than the 4.7GB of a standard DVD-R.
Depending on the size of the CentOS you can use a writeable CD/DVD/DVD-DL.
SImplyBurns has an interface with five buttons from which you choose '1:1-Disccopy' to make the copy.
Hope it helps
Stefan

Third party DVD burner?

Can anyone recommend a reliable third party DVD burner for my iMac with Lion OS? iDVD is no longer available.

The latest version of iDVD is very easy to get. (Will run on PPC or intel.)
It is for sale on Amazon and eBay as part of iLife 11 on disk.

I've tried most of the other DVD authoring programs out there. So far, iDVD remains vastly superior.

Burning Blu-ray disks. Third party hardware needed?

I have read from earlier posts that it is not possible to burn Blu-ray© disks from DVDSP. Can third party hardware be purchased to burn such a disk having assembled the digital assets in DVDSP? Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
G5 Quad Desktop Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for your responses. I see that from DVD SP Late-Breaking news that'HD DVD projects authored by DVD SP 4.0.3 fully comply with the 1.0 version of he HD DVD specification...the new HD DVD standard. The disks will play on Apple DVD Player version 4.6.5 or later.
I haven't commited to the Blu-ray© player, just the Sony HD camcorder.
When the time comes, I will burn to a red laser disc per the Apple recommendation. And thanks for the Roxio link which makes it clear that a PC is needed for Blu-ray©

Third party tool for burning MP3 CDs?

Hi,
Are there any third party tools for burning MP3 CDs from an iTunes library?
The iTunes functionality is not sufficient for me for two reasons:
*) I have ALAC files in my library and iTunes won't convert them for putting them on the CD. I know I can convert them in iTunes, but I am looking for a more elegant solution.
*) iTunes seems to put all files in the root of the CD. My car stereo does not use MP3 tags but subdirectories to recognize albums, so I need a directory for every album.
Any hints are appreciated!
Thanks, Robert

ed2345 wrote:
Easily done. See iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD. Basically, if you sort the playlist by album, iTunes will burn the MP3 CD with album folders.
Thanks, that solves the second problem, which was the more pressing anyway.
Do you maybe also have an idea how to get rid of the number in front of the album title in the directory name?
Cheers, Robert

Third party software for sony dvd burner

I would greatly appreciate anyone recommending inexpensive software that would work
with a sony DVD/cd rewritable drive I just purchased. On the box it said it was mac compatible, but
of course I later found out, only if you purchase mac compatible software. Sony provided a list of third party software that works with the device but its hard to know which ones work WELL with a Mac.
(I have a mac mini.)
Thanks for any tips.

It should just be recognised anyway.
You can use the Finder, a Burn Folder or Disk Utility to burn data discs.
iTunes, Garageband to burn playable CDs and DVD backups.
iPhoto to burn photo slideshows.
iDVD burns DVD Video discs that can be used in any player.
The most popular 3rd party software for convenience and ease of use is [Toast|http://www.roxio.com]
There are many other free and not so free 3rd party applications at versiontracker.com.

Compatible third-party DVD burner

Does anyone know if Apple has a document that list third-party DVD burners compatible with Mac?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Darrell

Wakko Warner,
Thanks, just happened to have run across that web site while determining what my next course of action was going to be. I looked at the Panasonic Internal 16X DVD Dual Layer model and started reading the specs on it. One statement had me wondering. "*Some older systems will not be able to burn discs at full speed due to a slower system bus or IDE bus." What regulates the system bus and IDE Bus speeds? Would it run on a G3 B/W Power Mac with an upgraded G4 Sonnet Processor?

Burning a Premiere CS5.5 project using third party software

HI All. Maybe you can help me. I have just spent a few days creating a promotional video, a pretty simple one using audio from SonicFire, transions and titles from the title maker in Premiere. No fancy stuff from Adobe After Effects, only Premiere Pro CS5.5. It is under six minutes long. I sent it to Encore using the dynamic link like I usually do, clicked the Build button and it started. A moment later it told me "Encode Failed". I have no idea why and it seems after scouring the forum, no one else does either. Could be anything they say and then a bunch of grumbling about poor support. I agree. Anyway, someone mentioned third party software to burn the project with, but I have not been able to find anything that says there software is compatible with Premiere. I really don't want to have to go back and do the whole thing again, hours and hours and hours. This is the first time this has happened and the first project that I really, truley wanted to burn to a dvd as it is a promotional video of an invention of mine that I want to market. It is perfect on the project monitor and plays just like I would like it to play on a DVD, but DAAAAA! What am I to do? I even thought of videoing the project window with my camera, but I don't think that would look very good. Can anyone give me a hand here. Spark, on the coast in Northern California. I will send a pre-appreciation to anyone who can help. Thanks

Thanks you Ann. I have review the link and have answered the
questions that it suggests. I hope this helps you help me. Have patience.
I’m using Premiere Pro with all updates up to date.
I’m using Windows 7 64bit.
All the footage is from a Panasonic PV GS36 mini DV camcorder. Just a
little $300 one and whatever codecs that are involved with that.
Full text of error message is: “Encode Fail”
When the problem occurred I was trying to burn it to a DVD using Encore
5.1.0.342 version.
I’ve only burned several projects to DVD, but it has always worked before.
I have never created such a complicated project with so many clips and
transitions and titles. Three video tracks and three audio tracks. The
audio is royalty free music from Sonicfire Pro5.
I have all kinds of software on my computer, Cyberlink, Kodak, LG, Paragon,
Smartsound and on and on.
No third party effects or anything like that that I know of.
Whe I look under General/Scratch Disks, the Mercury playback engine is
grayed out in the general window, so I don’t know if I’m using it or not.
The project plays just as it should in the project window.
These are the answers to the questions that I found on the link that Ann
sent me. So if there are any other questions I will be happy to research
them and get back to you with the best answers I can come up with. I’m
coming direct from Premiere 6.0 to Pro CS5.5 and I’m old and slow with a
slipping memory, but I wan to learn this. And please don’t tell me that I
should hire a professional. I don’t need to hear that. Totally
unproductive. Thanks for your efforts so far. Spark

Notes on third-party apps closing (not really crashing) after a restore

Hello,
I'm adding the umpteenth message about a problem that, after happening basically with each single iPhone change since my old iPhone 3G onwards, I would say it's pretty common.
I have solved this problem recently with a third sequence of actions, so I'm posting my brief "history of restores" for the benefit of others. I hope I've tagged this post eloquently enough to make it easy to find.
So, in most (if not all) cases of previous restores I've bumped in the classic issue where after the restore process (which, BTW, involves always a few more sudden phone restarts than expected) only the "native" iPhone apps run normally. All the others appear for an instant and then close. They don't really crash because both in iOS 6 and iOS 7 you can see them as "running" by double-tapping the iPhone front button. Moreover, those with active notifications will actually notify the user regularly. Their UI, though, doesn't go past the splash screen.
The underlying cause, also considering it relates only to apps downloaded via App Store, is presumably some DRM-related information that gets messed up during the restore process.
My personal experience included previously two distinct solutions, and each of those only worked in that occasion, i.e. has been useless in the other cases:
The oldest, and still most documented solution, was just to download, via iPhone, a new app from the app store. After a restart, or maybe even without one, the new app and all the others started working.
The second, less mentioned online but still pretty widespread, was to sign out from the Apple Store on the iPhone, and then sign back in.
This time, where I got a replacement for my iPhone 4s because of the common problem of the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip getting "burned" or dislodged, I tried both the solutions above but they didn't work. In the process, I've found other possible solutions that didn't work:
Deauthorizing iTunes on the Mac and then reauthorizing it.
Getting a new app via iTunes and then syncing the iPhone
Sign out/in with iCloud on the iPhone.
I was therefore close to abandoning my 877 apps already configured and organized in folders in the previous backups, and willing to accept the burden of setting up the iPhone as a new phone.
Nevertheless, I still hoped that a "mixed approach" would work and, indeed, it worked.
Here is the sequence that worked in my latest case:
Restore the iPhone as a new phone
Open the App Store on the iPhone and get a new app, not among those already downloaded previously
Open that app and see that it works (actually, after an iPhone replacement steps 1-3 would make sense anyway to check that the phone works properly)
Start a restore from a previous backup
As soon as the apps start syncing again, open the first app already sync'd and check that it works. It should work, that's what happened to me, and so you can wait the whole time required to sync back all the apps.
My experience involves also a falsification of the statement that the problem resides on individual backups. This is false because I've used the same backup, at step 4, that I selected before going through 1-3 and that was not working initially. Moreover, after step 5, I've realized that the old backup I had used was too old because yesterday evening, while I had my iPhone still misbehaving with third-party apps, I took a few pictures that would have gone lost using the old backup. I have then started again from step 4 with a backup from the night after the pics, when I was fiddling to fix my issues. Also the newer backup, clearly done while the apps where "bad", ended with all my apps working again.
Basically, once the "physical" phone runs third-party apps, than any backup would work. The (missing) authorization portion that causes the misbehaviour might be related to the phone IMEI, or some other piece of information that is not included in backups.
Does anyone know a specific thread here or blog post on some website where there is a collection of cases like mine?
I'm not looking forward to seeing what voodoo variation will be required the next time I replace my iPhone...
Hope this helps.
All the best,
Giovanni

Suggestion for Apple or Third-party software company?

My first question is, where should I post the following suggestion for an improvement in FCP or for the creation of a third party software – suggested sites, blogs, etc.?
Next, my recommendation, and then my explanation of the reason why (including my personal semi-disaster):
Recommendation: That someone create a “Project Management” software for FCP (essentially a file management program that runs in the background) that organizes and tracks all of the files created during editing/post production – including the log/capture or log/transfer of the original footage, the audio files, stills, effects, etc, AND all of the files created by the program -- Live Type, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, and Color (especially color). The reason for this is that FCP has an incredibly complicated filing system that results in shots, files, documents, etc., being distributed all over the place – and not all known to the filmmaker or identified in the documentation. And, that condition can lead to disaster – see below.
Explanation: I just finished my first HD project using Studio 2, including sound track pro and color. After completing what I though was the absolute final version, I burned a one-off DVD and ran it by several filmmaker and non-film maker friends. They all spotted a small sound problem with one cut, so I went back to tweak it – and discovered that ALL of the footage had gone offline. I had nothing, nada, zilch. I had saved earlier sequences (rough cut, polished cut, etc.) and all the original footage appeared, but I had taken the final version into color for some corrections and adjustments, and ALL of those shots/files were missing.
After burning what I believed to be the final cut, I had cleaned up my hard disk, moving stuff to my backup hard disk, to my RAID array, and to the trash. So, after the initial shock and complete panic, several hours of searching all of these drives, led me to the file that contained the files that contained the color corrections – in my trash, which fortunately had not been emptied. I have no idea where the files were before or how they got into the trash – obviously they were not added to the scratch disk with all of the original footage.
Part of the difficulty of finding the shots was the discovery that color creates a file folder, that holds a set of file folders, each of which holds only one shot. In order to reconnect, I had to move the parent folder to the desktop, and then move all of the shots, one at a time. into a single folder, and then point reconnect to that folder. Problem solved.
However, now I face that question of archiving the project, moving all of the files off my hard drive so I can use the space for my next film, and I am terrified that I will leave something out, and not be able to recover the project in the future. Having a project management software that organizes and coordinates all of that would be a lifesaver – and well worth the purchase price.
Anyone who would like to explore this idea, please feel free to contact me – [email protected].

You've just learned a hard lesson. Put your current energy into your education, not finding a way to wallow in ignorance.
There already is a hardware device that will do what you want. It's called a "manual". In particular, the sections that relate to "where the program stores media". Pay very close attention to those sections and set up your computer so that all the scratch and storage pointers are aimed where you want. It's very simple to have them all go to one drive.
Then, when it's time to archive the project because you are starting a new project, just purchase another hard drive for the new project. They are absurdly inexpensive these days.
Remove the drive with your project to be archived from your computer (since you now know how to keep all the files organized, they will be all together) - and plug in a new disk for the next project.
If you want a backup, use carbon copy cloner to simply duplicate the drive (or simply just copy the relevant folders- you'll know which ones) to another drive (or get a RAID 1 device)
good luck,

Third party apps and peripherals to blame?

I am wondering what applications and external add-ons are working and which ones are not?
It appears to me a lot of people are having problems with external hard drives and previously installed applications.
I did a clean install and have only added Apple programs so far (iLife, iWork). I am hesitant to add any other programs for fear of messing up my install, or worse... my Macbook.
The big question is who did the research and development (lack of) on Leopard.
It is beginning to look more and more like Apple focused all it's attention on perfecting the OS and left all the responsibilities for software compatibility to the third party software developers.
Bad idea. Companies that make software for Apple computers are catering to a far smaller market than our PC brothers, which leads me to believe they do not have the resources to insure 100% compatibility. Apple should have anticipated this and performed more testing.
When I installed Roxio Toast 7 I could not burn a disk image. Shortly thereafter my superdrive stopped working completely. I found out from other posts, that you need version 8, or an older version of 7 to get it to work. On Roxio's website there is no mention of this at all. No a peep.
Apple had a few years to check compatibility and work software engineers to make sure their products worked on Leopard.
I further confirmed my suspicions when I visited the apple store today. I was there because my superdrive stopped working. After I installed Leopard and started to re-install my applications (Office, Toast), the drive quit accepting disks. They replaced the drive while I was at the store. By the way they said it was a coincidence. Mmmm.
While I waited (Fantastic customer support by the way, even on a Sunday) I noticed all the computers in the store happily running Leopard without a hitch. I looked deeper and found little or no third party software installed. External hard drives and cameras appeared to be working fine, but with no added software.
My suggestion is be real careful with what you install.
To Apple... Pleeeaaase test your products more thoroughly before sending them out the door. It may not be your responsibility, but if there are known issues then they should be disclosed.
On the other hand how sad it that... Imagine- "To install our software you must take the weekend off, back up all your data, delete all third party apps, and hope you hardware works with our new OS. Some of you will be lucky and others will not. Meeting our system requirements does not really guarantee anything... Good luck".

It seems they deleted my post from discussions. Thanks.

Third Party Plug Ins from old computer?

Before I ask my next question, I just want to thank everyone out there that take the time to help others on this board.
I have a non bootable drive from my old computer (just died last week, power supply) and I also have it's contents backed up on an external drive. I have so many third party plug ins for my iMovie on my old G5, but how can I get them on my new computer? Slick was nice enough to re-email me everything I have purchased through them. One Company's plug ins I used most is no longer in business. Do I have to kiss it goodbye or can I still get it into my new Pro Mac?
Thanks, Beth

As long as you have a working drive, whether FireWire or something else, why not just connect it to your Mac Pro?
As to whether they will work, or cause trouble, that would have to be updated to Universal Binary or to work with current iMovie would be another matter and probably happen anyway.
Importing or migrating old powerppc applications and support files often cause problems and can be a "monkey wrench" effect. Reinstall is always best.
Going forward, always keep originals, burn to CD/DVD all your downloads and software purchases, even copies of your CDs.
If you have a list, or Google even might be able to resolve this.
The fact it isn't bootable you should be able to copy or recover files. You just don't want to use Migration Assistant for applications, even if it sees the drives and could.

Installing third party instrument samples

I just purchased and installed Vienna Instrument's Special Edition. Nothing tells me how to import the samples into Logic Pro's tracks, and Logic Pro isn't any help either - it says refer the VI manual (and adds the helpful comment that if third party samples are properly installed, they will work just fine).
I went through the installer tutorials, including mapping to the folders that hold the VI instruments. I also watched the basic online tutorial on how to use the VI Instruments Standalone (which is no help because I'm trying to import these sounds into Logic, and neither Logic nor the VI manual give you ANY indication how these two pieces of software have any relationship to each other.)
Classic example of manuals being written from the world view of the informed, instead of thinking what somebody without any background in this would need to know (i.e. the people who actually need the manuals). It's like trying to find the interstate entrance in New England - "If you don't know how to get there, you don't belong there."
I'm also experiencing all kinds of crackling and latency, having simply installed the samples, without having plugged any of them in to a Logic Pro track - seems like I'm scraping the bottom of my memory without having done ANYTHING yet. (Macbook Pro 1.86 GHz, 2GB DD2 Ram).

Yes,
I am able to open VI's stand alone software and hear the samples. I have no idea what the "AU Manager" is and nothing in the Logic Pro manuals give any indication of such a thing (continously curious to me how all these manuals are written for those who don't need them). Can you tell me how to find and run this AU Manager that seems critcial to getting started, since Logic Pro and VI apparently don't seem to think it's necessary to mention it (and yet they tell you to read the manuals cover to cover...)?
Yes, the Vienna Instruments component is in it's correct folder.
And yes, I've restarted the computer and all the software a dozen times.
Yes - the syncrosoft license is installed and operating correctly.
If you've got other ideas of why this won't work, let me know. I'm burning up a precious weekend on something that ought to be brain-dead easy to do.
I've also got the MacProvVideo DVD tutorials for Plug-ins and for EXS24 (Martin Sitter's group). What a joke. They explain all about the complex conversion of non-native instruments like AKAI, and completely ignore telling someone how to connect VSL to Logic Pro. Again, assuming it must be too easy (who do they think buys tutorials?).
Very frustrated over what should be a very simple process.
Help??

Third Party Application Called TuneUp Lost Ringtone Icons/Ability to Buy

Okay, I purchased and installed a third party application that is supposed to help iTunes get album art and other things. All was going well until i did their latest, greatest update and now I cannot see any Ringtones icons in the field that shows if ringtones are available in iTunes purchased songs. I still have my "purchased ringtones, but I don't have the ability to purchase anymore on songs that are eligible.
I've uninstalled TuneUp, reinstalled a fresh version of iTunes, but still not joy. How to I burn iTunes to the ground without losing my entire music library?

Right that is the point. I had a whole slew of eligible songs purchased from iTunes in my library that now are not available for purchase. For example I just purchased two songs that have the icon in the iTunes store. After I purchase them the icon in the "Bell" ringtone column is not showing for the songs that should be eligible. The only recent change I've made is this third part application. So I am thinking this has messed with my library somehow.

List of third party support?

I recently bought iLife -06 and I'm now looking to buy a third party DVD-burner (I've got an iBook with the regular CD-RW). I haven't been able to find a list over supported burners, does anyone know where to find this?
Thank you in advance,
- Andreas
IBook G4 1.2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I think any DVD burner will do. I went looking for a "compatible" one, and I found LaCie has some with Mac support, but it only means it comes with some Mac software.
I borrowed a friend's Plextor burner (a few years old) - he has a Windows system, and I just plugged it in and iDVD didn't complain. I didn't realise it takes ages to render the DVD, so I didn't get a chance to burn anything yet, but iDVD went through the motions of checking the DVD (I used one that had something on it) and asked if I wanted to erase what was there. All went well.
Definitely try to borrow one if you can. Once I get some results I'll share them.
