Cannot burn songs to a "data disk" on new iMac

I have some demo songs that I can burn as Audio CDs, but sans a CD title and track titles that I need for easy sharing. However, when I attempt to burn the same playlist as a CD data disk in iTunes using Mountain Lion on my New iMac I cannot initiate a burn after clicking burn and inserting a blank CD.
It spins waiting for me to "Please insert a blank CD" . Both times I used identical blank ativa brand CD-Rs rated 52x 700MB 80 min. However the same blank ativa disks can be burnt as "data disks" on my older core 2 duo iMac running Snow Leopard. What gives?
The same new iMac has song and CD titles missing using Toast Titanium 8.

The 4th post in this discussion was pleasing to many

Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

OK. I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created. And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist. I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either. I even talked to a supervisor. He was stumpped. It looks like a bug has infected the system. I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem. I believe if it works, don't update.
I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
Help!

"ok and how exactly do i do that? "
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
Did you fail to maintain a backup? That is not good.

How do I transfer the songs on my iPod to my new iMac?

How do I transfer the 6000+ songs on my iPod to my new iMac? My current iTunes Library is on a Dell laptop.

when i got my new mac i hooked up my old pc to the network, and then went to sharing in the settings on the imac, and turned on file sharing, went to more options and enabled the ftp server. got an ftp program on the pc and uploaded everything to the imac.

I am wondering about transferring my pc date to my new iMac. I know there is a migration assistant, but I have multiple drives in my pc. Will the migration assistant be able to handle this?

I know there is a migration assistant, but I have multiple drives in my pc. Will the migration assistant be able to handle this? I'm going to be trying to move the date to a new imac 27' with fusion drive.

the following set of instructions is a little longer, so you might want to print it out and have it handy
Step 1 - PC
If your PC already is connected to the Internet, hold down the Windows button on
your keyboard and simultanously press R. Into the opening window enter "cmd" (without
the quotation marks). A command line will open, enter "ipconfig" (again without the
quotation marks) at the prompt. Now find the section labelled "Ethernet-Adaptor" and
note the values for IP-Address, Subnet-Mask and Default-Gateway on a sheet of paper
If your PC is not already connected to the internet, you need to manually configure its IP address.
open Network and Sharing Center
do a right click on Ethernet and select Properties
in middle of the screen there is a box labelled "This connection uses the following items"
out of this box select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
click on the Properties button in the right corner
Into the window "Use the following IP address" enter the following values
IP-Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet-Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default-Gateway is the IP-Address of your Router. This value is needed for internet connection, for the file sharing setup only this value can be left empty.
Step 2 - Mac
If your Mac already is connected to the internet, it is likely that it has automatically receive the necessary parameters from your router and therefore should be in the same network as your PC. To be on the safe side, you can check this by
open System Preferences
select Network
choose Ethernet from the panel on the left side of the window
click on Advanced
click on TCP/IP
compare the values for IP-Address, Subnet-Mask and Default-Gateway with those you wrote down earlier.
If both PC and Mac have identical numbers in the first three parts of the IP-Address, you are set.
If your Mac is not already connected to the internet, you need to manually configure its IP-Address as well.
In the TCP/IP window you have just opened select "Manually" from the drop down menu "Configure IPv4:"
Enter the following values
IP-Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet-Mask: same as with PC
Default-Gateway: same as with PC
Step 3 - Activate File Sharing on PC
open Control Panel
select Network and Internet
select Network and Sharing Center
on the left panel select change advanced sharing settings
in the middle of the new page enable turn on file and printer sharing
Step 4 - Activate File Sharing on Mac
open System Preferences
select Sharing
set check mark next to File Sharing (green circle appears on the right side next to File Sharing:)
click on Options:
set check mark next to Share files and folders using SMB
in the listbox under the text Windows File Sharing make sure there is a check mark next to your account name
Step 5 - Create a share on your PC
In Explorer select the folder you wish to share
do a right click on that folder and select "Share with"
choose "Specific people"
a new window opens. there select your Windows username (usually the first in the list)
if you plan to copy from Windows to Mac only, it would be sufficient to grant Read permission only, but, since most likely you are the only person to access that share and certainly do not plan to sabotage yourself, Read & Write permission is ok too.
finally click on "Share"
Step 6 - Create a share on your Mac
Once the check mark next to your account name is set (see above) your home directory is automatically set as a share.
Step 7 - Connect your PC to your Mac-Share
do a right click on the network icon which resides on your desktop or in the left
panel of every Explorer window
Select Connect Share
in the text box next to Folder: enter \\<ip-address-of-your-mac>\<your-osx-username>
if you are using the same username and password on both Windows and OSX click on "Finish",
if not set the check mark next to "Connect using different credentials" afterwards click on "Finish" A new window will open where you enter username and password that you are using with OSX
Step 8 - Connect your Mac to your PC-Share
hold down the command key and press K simultanously or in Finder click on Go in the menu at the top of your screen and select "Connect to Server"
in the Window that opens enter smb://<your-windows-username>:<your-windows-password>@<ip-address-of-your-PC/<y our-windows-username>
or
smb://<ip-adress-of-your-PC/<your-windows-username> you will be asked to enter your Windows username and password in popup window
Now you have both computers connected to each other. Each will provide you access to your home directory of the other computer. Open a second Explorer or Finder window with your local home directory and start copying

Cannot burn Audio CDs (only Data CDs) since upgrade to Itunes 7

I'm having a problem and it is very frustrating. Worked fine with Ver. 6 but you had to download to ver. 7 before you could purchase any new music so I did. Big mistake! My problem is burning CDs. I can only burn "Data CDs." I went to "Edit" and then to "preferences" then to "Advanced" and then to "Burning" -At that point you have a choice to choose Audio CD burning or Data CD burning. I will not stay on Audio CD burning - keeps defaulting to Data CD burning and there is no "save" button or anything to stop it from happening. When it burns from the data cd it the cd will only play in my computer - not in my car or other player. Would you know how to correct this???? to stop the default? My ipod is fine. I hope Apple takes care of this soon.

I cannot burn CD with itunes. The message is to re-install itunes because registry settings are missing or I have other disc buring software (microsoft and NTI).
I have installed many times and I still cannot burn music.
Does anyone else have this problem and a solution? Please.

[Solved] Cannot burn CD's with LG drive on new system

Arch x86_64 (up-to-date) on a Zotac GF-8200-C-E miniITX motherboard, Athlon II X2 240 CPU with an LG SATA GH22NS50 DVD+-RW drive. The drive reads CD's fine, but cannot burn anything successfully.

Error "cannot load request real time data targets" for new cube in BI 7.

Hi All,
WE have recently upgarded our SCM system from 4.1 to SCM 7.0 which incorporated BI 7.0.
I am using BI 7.0 for first time and ahve the following issue:
I ceated a new infocube and data source of flat file and succesfully created transformation, and Data Transfer Process. Everything looked fine. I added flat file and checked preview and could see data. Now when I start job to load data in infocube the follwing error is shown "cannot load request real time data targets".
I checked cube type in setting in infcune is shows as Standard. When I doube clicked on error the following message showed up
You are trying to load data into a real-time InfoCube using a DTP.
This is only possible if the correct load settings have been defined for the InfoCube.
Procedure
In the object tree of the Data Warehousing Workbench, call Load Behavior of Real-Time InfoCube from the context menu of the InfoCube. Switch load behavior to Transactional InfoCube can be loaded; planning not allowed.
I did not understand what it is meant and how to set changes. Can someone advice and follow me through.
Thanks
KV

Hi Kverma,
Real-time InfoCubes can be filled with data using two different methods: using the transaction for entering planning data, and using BI staging, whereby planning data cannot be loaded simultaneously. With Real time cube you can select the method you want to use for update as
Real Time data Target can be loaded With Data; Planning not allowed &
Real Time data Target can be Planned; Data loading not allowed
You can change this behaviour by right clicking on cube and selecting Change real time load behaviour and select first option. You will be able to load the data then

Attachment of a data disk to new VM.

After attachment of an empty disk the VM, It shows 3 disks in list:
Disk 0: The OS Disk.
Disk 1: Temporary resource
Disk 2: Data disk (what we attached)
Why Disk 1 should not be used for data storage and what is the meaning of temporary storage?

Hi Pawan,
Thanks for posting here.
Temporary Disk The temporary storage drive, labeled as the D: drive is not persisted and is not saved in the Windows Azure Blob storage. It is used primarily for the page file and its performance is not guaranteed to be predictable. Management tasks such
as a change to the virtual machine size, resets the D: drive. In addition, Windows Azure erases the data on the temporary storage drive when a virtual machine fails over. The D: drive is not recommended for storing any user or system database files, including
tempdb.
The temporary storage drive, labeled as the D: drive, is not persisted to Azure blob storage. Do not store your data or log files on the
D: drive.
Only store tempdb and/or Buffer Pool Extensions on the
D drive when using the D-Series Virtual Machines (VMs). Unlike the other VM series, the
D drive in the D-Series VMs is SSD-based. This can improve the performance of workloads that heavily use temporary objects or that have working sets which don't fit in memory. For more information, see
Using SSDs in Azure VMs to store SQL Server TempDB and Buffer Pool Extensions.

ITune songs not found after migrating to new iMac

My old iMac's graphics card broke. Luckily I have used Time Machine to back up to ann external HDD.
I used Migration Assistant to bring up the new iMac. However, I cannot find any songs in iTune. The songs can still be found in my iPhone though.
I also found that Time Machine has set up a new folder in the external HDD, so while the old backup files are still there, I cannot access it when I tried to restore it.
Need help.
Since this is a new, clean installation, I don't mind reinstalling the OS X, which I have done, if it helps.

There is no Music folder.
Perhaps I should try to start from a clean slate again. Do you think it will make sense to wipe out all the data and re-install OSX, re-migrate? There will not be any lost data (compared to what I have now..)
When I re-installed OSX, I had to state a name. I chose the name on the previous computer, which led to a conflict when I tried to migrate. I had to choose another name for the new iMac. Could this have led to the inability to restore properly? (am I making sense?)

"No Boot Disk" on new iMac with external optical drive

So I am experiencing a problem similar to what some people have had, but I have the brand new iMac which does not come with a cd drive.
I have a fusion drive in the iMac.
I downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate from my University software store, which gave me a .img file. I burned this file to disk in order to make the boot drive.
I am using an amazon basics DVD optical drive which connects to my computer via USB.
Upon boot into windows, it does not recognize the dvd in the drive as bootable, and says "No Bootable Disk Found, Press Any Key". Of course, I have a bluetooth keyboard and cannot press any key because there are currently no drivers.
So, any ideas on why it won't recognize my boot dvd?

It was just a simple case of removing the verbose boot settings which I found a script for after searching on Google.

How do I transfer my data to my new IMAC from my old mac's hard drive?

When switching to my new IMac, I transferred my data, but the data that it transfered from was my old Mac's original hard drive. How do I transfer the data from my 2nd hard drive which has all my up-to-date info?

I believe that you are running into the Master/Slave issue when there are two or more HDs on the same channel.
As per the Knowledge Base article on How to use FireWire target disk mode
Tip: FireWire Target Disk Mode works on internal ATA drives only. Target Disk Mode only connects to the master ATA drive on the Ultra ATA bus. It will not connect to Slave ATA, ATAPI or SCSI drives.
When you disconnected the original drive, which was the Master, and changed the new drive's position on the cable, which had been the Slave, you made it the Master, which then gave you access to it.
You may be more successful if you use Migration Assistant if you erase and reinstall OS X. It is located on your Intel in Apps/Utilities. Be sure to use Kappy's post linked above for an intelligent move of the things that are safe to move from PPC to Intel Macs.
