Can you burn files to a remote disc?

I have a core duo iMac, my wife has a MacBook Air. I have previously installed an application on her Air using remote disc. Now I would like to burn some files on the Air (,pdf and .jpg) to a CD mounted in my iMac. Is this possible? I get as far as "Ask to Use" on the Air and "Accept" on the iMac but then the Air just puts up a progress bar "waiting for disc on iMac". I have tried ejecting the blank disc and re-inserting and opening it in the finder but the Air never sees this blank (unrecorded) CD. If I stuff in a CD with something on it, it will acknowledge it.
Am I trying to do something that I just can't do, or am I missing something?

This morning I wanted to burn a backup of my wife's iTunes which are on her MBA. Figured that if the remote disc on my iMac worked so well with the MBA, that it should also work with remotely burning a disc. Tried and tried but it wouldn't open the bank disc in the MBA. After some thought I came to the conclusion that if it was possible to burn a disc wirelessly then Steve and Apple would be screaming the news from every venue. As you know, they are not.
Called Apple Service. Nice guy. Said he'd never been asked that question before. After a lot of checking he confirmed that you can not burn wirelessly from an MBA to anything!
Just thought you'd like to hear my report.
Thanks

  • How many times can you burn "protected AAC" to CDs...?

    How many times can you burn Apple iTunes Store's music files (Protected AAC) to a CD? Seven?

    I can put any of the individual songs onto a playlist and burn it to a CD and do it an infinite number of times?
    You don't get unlimited burns of a single playlist including any tracks from the iTunes Music Store, no,
    Any given playlist that contains a track or tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store can be burned a maximum of seven times. After that, you either have to alter the playlist (add or remove a track of any type, iTMS or imported) or create a new playlist with the iTMS track(s) you wish to burn. That playlist can also be burned up to seven times. Etc. etc.
    Note that this only applies when you're burning an audio CD. You can burn your iTMS tracks as data for backup an infinite number of times. Though of course those data disks won't play in a CD player.
    Hope this clears things up.

  • I can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas, i can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas

    i can't burn a playlist to a disc from itunes, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas?

    Additional information: 
    -also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
    -am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago.  Tried another brand also to be safe.  None worked.
    -ran CD/DVD diagnostics within iTunes with Apple Care - no issues apparent
    -also tried write-speed 20X on advice of Apple Care (don't know why they thought 20X would be the magic number after the other 3 I tried didn't work)
    -tried running itunes in another user account on the computer - same problem, same error code
    -Apple suggested it was a copyright issue.  I can't even burn music that I created/recorded myself, so that doesn't make sense.
    -They thought maybe Quicktime wasn't installed properly, so we checked a film in Windows Media - it played, meaning Quicktime was fine apparently. 
    Solution:
    Unclicked CD text option & Sound Check, ran burn from the File drop down menu (max speed) on a Philips CD-R and it worked!  Had been right clicking the playlist name and selecting Burn option from there.  That being said, it did not work on 2 other brands prior, with same settings.  Not sure why.  Just happy it's working again. Is it a brand issue?

  • I can't burn my photos to a disc from iphoto?  my drive still works i burned from itunes and idvd

    I can't burn my photos onto a disc from iphoto.  it has to be a software problem, because I can burn dvd's from idvd?  Any thoughts

    Karen,

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

    If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
    This is great.  I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad.  If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy.  I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer. 
    I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad.  I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
    Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

    I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad.  But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad?  I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud.  I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
    I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be. 

  • How many times can you burn a protected song?

    How many times can you burn a purchased iTMS song onto an audio cd?
    I know they say you can only burn a playlist so many times but does that also include the purchased songs? (I hope not)
    Does anybody know the official iTMS ruling on this?
    -J

    I believe I read that you are allowed to burn it seven times, but I burn mixes all the time and have never run into a message that I've reached my limit. Honestly, though, if you are—at some point—unable to burn anymore, you can reimport a purchased song from one of the burned CDs.
    Hope this helps!

  • Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk?  Thank you

    Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk?  Thank you

    Toast can author and burn video DVDs but it's not nearly as versatile as iDVD is in creating video DVDs.  Toast can only create one menu so all items must be on it, i.e. no sub-menus, no animated menus, etc.

  • Can you package files in Premiere Pro CS6 like you do in Indesign so you don't looses links?

    Can you package files in Premiere Pro CS6 like you do in Indesign so you don't looses links?
    We are sorting out our filing system and want to be able to move files and rushes to new locations without loosing the links between them, is their a way of doing this? When using InDesign you package a file and it creates a folder of links and fonts, something like this would be useful.

    Have a look at the Project Manager.
