Can't Add Files To RW DVD

Hello,
I'm a musician and successfully backed up a Pro Tools session with no Problems to a -RW DVD. I tried to back up a second session and got an error messege stating I couldn't not add to the DVD. From Apples Help Menu I learned the only way I could add the other session was to erase the DVD and burn both session at the same time. This is unexceptable for obvious reasons. Is there a work around? Do I have to backup each session on it's own DVD? This is a serious design flaw in my opinion. I thought RW media was designed so you could add data to your disc when needed. What's up with that?

There is no defined standard for a multiple-session DVD. Therefore to add files to a RW-DVD you must erase it first.
I thought RW media was designed so you could add data to your disc when needed. What's up with that?
No, RW media is designed so that you can erase it and reuse it.
You can create multiple sessions CDs with CD-Rs you don't need CD-RWs. The RW has nothing to do with the ability to write multiple sessions.

    Hi Wagnerian, Welcome to Apple Discusswions.
    When adding files or folders to the Dock, they must go to the right side of the hairline (the same side that Trash is on).
    If this what you are doing and it still doesn't work navigate to /Users/YourHome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and delete that file. then log out and back in or restart. (You'll have to reset your Dock the way you like it)

  • Add files to a DVD

    How do you burn more files to a DVD.
    I did burn photos that were in Finder file format, then I tried to burn iPhoto files, but was unable. I went through the help instructions; chose the iPhoto pics exported them to Finder file, then dragged the folder to the DVD icon to copy (it would not take the folder). Then I tried, selecting the iPhoto exported folder in Finder and chose 'burn to disc'. (It keeps asking for the disc). I ejected the DVD and re-inserted, but this did nothing.
    Thanks for your help

    Once you burn data to a DVD-R you cannot add more files thereafter. If you use a DVD-RW disc then you can copy the files already on the disc to your computer, erase the disc with Disk Utility, add the files to those that were already on the disc, then burn the entire lot to the disc.

    Sending a file as an attachment to an email involves setting the correct MIME type and headers. There's a brief tutorial here: http://webcheatsheet.com/php/send_email_text_html_attachment.php.
    Also, you need to use the same name as in your form. In the script you have shown here, the name of the file field is strresume, but your processing script uses this: $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']. It should be this: $_FILES['strresume']['name']

  • How can i "add file to library" and have it be considered to be a Podcast?

    I went to a web site and downloaded a file to my C drive (MP3 format) that is not music. It is spoken, and is what i would call a 'Podcast', although i did not access it via iTunes as an official podcast. I then use iTunes "add file to library" function. But, it considers it to be music. I thought maybe drag/drop would work to let me add it to Podcasts, but it does not.
    How can i get this file which i have imported into iTunes to be treated as a Podcast? First, i'd like it to appear on my iPod with 'Podcasts'. But, more importantly, if i stop listening in the middle, i'd like it to restart from that point the next time i start it again. Now, it is treated by the iPod like music, and so it starts at the beginning each time.
    Thanks for your help! Tom.

    Is there a way that you can "subscribe" to something that is not in iTunes store? This is just a file on a site that is available for download.
    If not -- does anybody else know if there is a way to do what the original question posed, to have a file that you downloaded, treated as a Podcast instead of as music?
    Thanks, tom.

  • Can't add file to baggage files folder

    Hi,
    I have a javascript file I'm trying to add to the baggage
    files folder. However, for some reason, I can't add it. I'm using
    robohelp 6 and roboosource control 3.0. When I try to add the file,
    nothing is added to the folder. I was able to add the same JS file
    to another project that was created in X5. So I'm unsure what the
    prolem is.
    I manually added the javascript file to the rhbag.apj file
    but it still doesn't seem to recognize that this file is added to
    the baggage files folder or project. I'm still getting a javascript
    error as if the file is not in the project.
    Strangely enough, when I tried to add the javascript file
    from the other project's folder, it asked me if I wanted to
    overwrite the js file. But it still doesn't appear in the baggage
    files folder or in source control.
    Any help is appreciated.
    thanks
    --Brad

    Hi Rick
    Sorry--I guess my previous response wasn’t clear. I did
    physically copy the JS file to the local project folder first. I
    didn’t think it would magically appear.
    In terms of the .apj file, I edited it—adding
    the code for the script from another project’s apj where the
    same script is working—and saved it. But it’s still not
    adding the js file to the baggage files folder or to source
    control. When I view the apj file that’s in source control,
    it has the js code in there.
    I then tried overwriting the apj with the apj from a project
    where the script is working (that’s what I meant by
    replacing), but that didn’t work either. To add another
    twist, the script runs without errors in preview mode, but not in
    the compiled html help.
    I’m unsure what’s wrong with this project as this
    script is successfully working in other projects and visibly
    appears in the other projects’ baggage files folders. I hope
    this was a little clearer.
    I’m open to any other suggestions.
    Any questions, let me know.
    Thanks
    Brad

  • Can't add files to two different phones

    I have created a ringtone for my iphone 4s and loaded just fine.  I tried to add the ringtone to my fiances phone and I get the red circle with the line through it so I can't add anything to her phone.  No photos, music etc.  I tried signing out of Itunes and into her account but still nothing.  Computer is authorized.  Ringtone is in the Tones folder in ITunes but just can't drag and drop in hers but can in my Iphone 4s.  Any suggestions?

    I think your method is wrong.  You should not change the m4a file to m4r file in it's original location which is for music library.
    Refer proper steps here for creating ringtones:
    Before you start, first go to iTunes top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
    Right click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info” 
    Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK 
    Right mouse click the music again and choose “Create AAC Version” 
    You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a. 
    Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop 
    Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file). 
    *Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length. 
    Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library 
    Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
    Once you have the ringtones in Tones library, you may sync it to your device. Connect and select your iPhone on iTunes left Pane, then on right go to Tones tab and make sure SYNC Tones is checked and click the APPLY or SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • Can't Add Files to iPod

    I just got a 20 GB iPod this week. I was able to add about 1.5 GB of songs to it so far.
    Today, I am connecting to the Mac, trying to drag some new MP3 files from iTunes into the iPod folder, and it gets stuck. ITunes says it is transferring "1 of 103 tracks," and it never changes. After a while, I have to Force Quit out of iTunes.
    The iPod still plays the songs that were previously installed just fine. I just can't add any more tracks to it, even though most of the space is still available.

    iTunes cannot import nor play Sony OpenMG files. You'll have to see if it's possible to convert them to a format iTunes can import. For tracks purchased from their store, you're best hope is if their store allows those tracks to be burned to an audio CD. This site may be of help.
    Good luck.

  • Can't add Files to AME CC anymore.

    It worked fine - i didn't update or anything. Just stopped being able to add Files to AME.  Drag and drop not working / Files appear greyed out in Dialouge.
    What could be wrong?
    OSX 10.8.5

    This sounded first a bit like : "have you tried turn it on?"   But you made me check anyway - and i found the problem:  My layout suddenly changed - instead of "Queue" i had "Watch folders" as my main window.  Now, you can't import single files into that of course..  not by double clicking, not by clicking the +, and definitely not by drag and dropping
    I need to getmore sleep...

  • Can't add files after upgrading

    Last night I upgraded to the latest version if iTunes after being prompted to do so. Everything was fine until I tried to add some more music to my library.
    I go to File > Add Folder To Library, select the folder I want to add, and iTunes -LOOKS- like it is adding the files. I see the box that says "Processing: XXX - XXX.mp3" and when that goes away, the files are not in iTunes.
    I can not add folders, or single files. I have tried repairing my install of iTunes, uninstalling and reinstalling, and still cannot add files. Any help would be WONDERFUL!
