CDR Problems in OSX 10.2.8

Hey all,
I've been trying to back up a ton of work at work onto 700 mb 80 min memorex cdr's. At first i was trying to use disk copy to make .dmg's of the folders and then burn the image to disc but it kept telling me that the disc did not have enough free space. All of the folders i have compiled are less than 680 mb so i knew that I should have plenty of space to be able to burn them onto a 700 mb disc. Well, i checked the discs info in finder and the system is telling me that the discs are only 670 mb and that there's 9.2 megs already used up on the disc, making them 660.7 megs all said and done. I popped in about twenty discs and got the same thing.
I guess my questions are then:
Why is it recognizing only 670 megs?
Why is it saying that 9.2 megs are used by nothing?
My burning drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-R 105
Thanks in advance

Hi Kopassu! And Welcome To Discussions!
HOW TO USE ALL 700 MBs ON CD-R
From "Macworld" Feb 2005 issue p.90 Link To Article "Utilize Extra Space on CD-Rs"
Create a new folder in the Finder
Drag everything you want to burn, up to 700 MB, into the folder.
Open Terminal and type cd ~/Desktop
Press the Enter key. This changes Terminal's active directory to your user's Desktop folder.
Type hdiutil makehybrid -o myburn.iso (There's a space after the o in .iso & myburn can be
any name you choose) DON'T press Enter
Switch to the "Finder"
Drag & drop the folder you created onto the Terminal window. Terminal should fill in the
full path to the folder.
Press Enter. Enter key will then execute the command.
What you have done is used the hdiutil Unix command to create a hybrid disk image named "myburn.iso" (you can choose whatever name you like, in place of "myburn", but use ".iso" for the extension, with NO quote marks).
You should see the message "Creating hybrid image" in your Terminal window, as well as an indication of the task's progress.
When finished, you should see a disk image called "myburn.iso" on your Desktop.
You can use Disk Utility to burn this image, or you can type
hdiutil burn ~/Desktop/myburn.iso in Terminal
Insert a blank CD-R when prompted, and then just wait until it's done.
Maybe the same process will work with a CD-RW?
Good Luck!

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

I am having a problem reinstalling osx.

I am having a problem reinstalling osx. Disk utility reports the following disk errors:
1. Unused node is not erased.
2. Volume bitmap needs monor repair for orphaned blocks
I have tried verifying and repairing disks and get message that it cannot be repaired after 3 attempts. Anyone encountered anything like this?
Thanks,
Rich.

Clean the bottom of the installer disk carefully with a soft cloth and a little bit of rubbing alcohol to take off the fingerprints, don't touch the bottom or let it get damaged.
Once it's dry then stick it in the MacBook
Hold c and reboot off the installer disk and use Disk Utility under the menu to select the hard drive makers name, then Erase tab (format HFS+ journaled) Security Option > Zero All Data and click Erase....
This will erase all the partitions on the drive and also map off all bad sectors, takes some time.
Once done quit and use the installer to install OS X.
If it fails it could be the disk is bad.

Aw geez, they sure have messed up OSX.
Do you have a backup of 10.8.2?
Maybe...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Problems installing OSX 10.8.4

I am having problems installing OSX 10.8.4

Try to be more explicit about your problem. As descriptive as possible. You also need to tell us what your computer model is and what version of OS X you are now using.

System problem - MAYBE OSX related...?

I have no definitive answer or resolution thus far for this
problem in the forums and wanted to re-summarize it here, one more time, to see if anyone has
any other suggestions before i toss in the towel on self-repair efforts and invest in Apple Service.
Problem:
On a dual MDD G4 1.25, which i normally boot/use OS 9 on)
there is now a system 'hang time' of anywhere from 15-25 secs. in various circumstances including:
On boot-up, just after the Finder has loaded, I can move the mouse cursor but the Mac won't respond to clicks for up to 15-20 secs. Then, the "buffered clicks" get executed at once.
This hang time also occurs within certain applications, and on startup of IE Explorer there is an abnormal delay between the Open command and completion of startup cycle(opening to Home Page).
At first it appears a system freeze, but then ultimately system interactivity resumes eventually.
This machine is on a high-end Tripp-Lite power conditioner in a recording studio.
The problem seemed to begin after a day where i had multiple power fluctuations/outages requiring cold reboot several times.
I have swapped out both 512 Dimms and tried running with each separately and the problem remained.
TechTools has been run, OSX Permission Repairs run/re-run..
and i've done an OS 9-only "restore/reinstall" of that
System. I also ran a defragmentation off of techtools.
Memory 'tested' as okay.
My internal HD is a 160g, one partition.
Since the problem occurs within OS 9 and i did reinstall that system, i would tend to think that rules out the System.
I can't detect any similar problem under OSX!
Things tried that didn't resolve it:
Emptying Servers Folder in the System Folder. Desktop Rebuild, PRAM/NVRAM resets, VM Off, Extensions OFF restart, (no change), Startup Items Folder/Prefs Folder EMPTIED and restart; no change. All Devices (USB/Firewire & Cable Modem, Keyboard/Mouse) disconnected/Restart; no change.
MemTest run on Dimms; Reported as OK.
Is there any point in reinstalling Sys software given all
this, or any ideas on what else to try?
Thanks,
Mike

Ron, I did, (conflicting opinions about Norton notwithstanding) run a Volume/Directory test from NDD (it is
a cumbersome process given that Norton must be on a separate computer and the machine in question must be in target-firewire mode to "access" the OS 9 System Folder - since the Norton app will not startup on the MDD machine...
"Apparently," it was able to process a test and no errors
were reported after running it, or, Tech Tools, on that System Folder.
I appreciate the idea. Not sure if there's an easier way to 'get at' the folder off a Norton Utilities disk as long as it resides in the peculiar dual-boot environment which presents a variety of challenges for anyone seeking to run any type of OS 9 diagnostics from a non OSX-based startup disk... not to mention the screwy reinstall/restore configuration of this particular Apple incarnation's install disk "set."
To put it bluntly, Mac really went out of its way to discourage any OS 9 loyalists with their "last OS 9 machine"
--but i digress....
Thanks
Mike

Graphic problem with OSX Lion - freezing all windows

I try to define my graphic problem with OSX Lion. Simply if you have set for example hot cornes and switch between desktop, all windows etc. the move of switchng windows i chopping and freezing. I dont idea why, but it hapennig since I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp. But the problem is still here after I remove Windows. Cleaning cash doesnt work. Can anybody help me please?

No, it's not Lion. It may be something you installed. If you just bought it you could also take it back to the Apple Store and they may be able to help.

Having problems with OSX and mail with the servers?

Having problems with OSX and the mail servers? Seems to be happening more and more?

Hello,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
You may have multiple entries.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

10.4 client problem with OSX Server 10.5.8

I have an late 2009 X_server with OSX 10.5.8 running, have binding to AD and enabled system as OD master. I have added an ad user to an od group and set a prefernce in the DOC to add the Group folder to the doc.
On my MBP mostly all goes well except for a question mark for ther group folder. But on an old G4 tower I'm testing with it just prompts me about not being assigned to a group and gives the option to apply settings. but the settinsg never take place. Has any had this problem before? Thanks in advance. Art

I've got the Audiotron working again. I found some info on basically opening the entire share to guest access. Reference this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=392697
I tried changing "encrypt passwords" (global section) to "no" and that didn't help. Then I added this to the music share and everything works. Probably not the best security solution, but I'm behind a firewall.
In /etc/smb.conf added for the music share:
public = yes
only guest = no
writable = no
printable = no
(I still left "encrypt passwords = no" in the global section. I'm not sure if that made a difference or not.)

HT1338 Solutions to Mail problems in OSx 10.8.4?

Since installing OSx 10.8.4 I have been experiencing problems using the Mail client in the normal manner.
1) Screen freezes at odd times when preparing new emails. Cursor seems to lock-up, and will not clear or restart with any conventional soft controls via the keyboard.
2) This problem with Mail also seems to directly affect overall Mac performance. It makes the screen go Black, although the Mac is still working in every other sense. It also makes the Mac crash for no apparent reason - but only when Mail is live on the Dock!
3) When Mail is not on the Dock, NONE OF THIS HAPPENS, and the Mac works 100% ok in every respect in an ongoing normal manner.
4) When I reinstall Mail on the Doc
Question is - Has anyone else experiencing this or similar problems? Has this been investigated or is it being worked on by Apple?
Await any and all responses with great interest - especially from experts at Apple.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Performance and Memory Problems on OSX

Firefox seems to have some sort of memory leak. Even once I remove all the add-ons, and no matter which web pages, after about a day, Firefox is slow and I have to restart the browser. When using the diagnostics within Mac OSX, Firefox is consuming twice as much memory as Safari and is consistently the biggest CPU consumer. It would be nice if someone profiled the code and actually made sure it was optimized.

We are with the same problem. We read a lot about the vm in the RHAS 3.0. The vm was improved but, with bugs. We found a lot of inactive pages that, after the clean state, does'nt deallocate properly. This makes the thread kernel "kswapd" works a lot, taking all the cpu in the io process.
There is a known bug related to "kswapd" thread in the RHAS 3.0 kernel. The RedHat promess to solve the problem in the nexts releases (I really doubt it, because there was already 3 releases after its announces).
We have checked some strange behaviors too... The machines with Linux RH AS 3.0 + Oracle products (OracleDB and OracleIAS) are freezing randomically. We think that the shared memory are allocating kernel space pages, but we didn't found any evidences yet.
The workarounds (not tested yet):
- Upgrade to the latest kernel.
or
- Use the hugemem kernel (even when using less than 16GB of RAM, some guys reported that this solve the problem)
or
- Compiling a clean kernel directly from kernel.org. In this case, we don't have support from Oracle, but maybe the problem could be resolved until RH publish some bugless vm code with your kernel.

Problems running OSX Lion

I bought a 13"macbook pro running OSX lion 10.7.3 with 2.4 ghz i5 & intel hd 3000 in the ending 0f 2011.I am completely new to Mac.
1)Last time when i tried to start my laptop. it freezed in the start up screen with speening wheel over half an hour.so i restarted it pressing Shift to open disk utility.after repairing & verifying disk,it started normally.But it started to show numerous notifications like-
Insecure Startup Item disabled.
                      “/Library/StartupItems/BRESINKx86Monitoring” has
                      not been started because it does not have the proper
                      security settings.
2)i had this problem more than one time when installing new applications. It says-
                                                      System extension cannot be used
                                           The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/
                                            CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext"was installed
                                            improperly and cannot be used.Please try
                                            reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an
                                            update.
OK
This time after the first notification i started Onyx & excuted for Automotion. It started normally it freezed with progress bar written with 'Deleting misc it
ems...' for more than two hour. somthing must be wrong so i force quitted it.Then the second message showed up & after entering 'ok' each time the last massage continued to come up with other kext files--

3)Also another problem remains, although i tried multiple times to take "MacBookPro2011EFIUp2.7" through software update; it takes the update,installs it,but after automatic restart no grey screen appears showing progress bar etc. etc. as told in the update. the funny thing is every next time i open it shows that update again.Which means it's not installed at all. i checked whether it's an appropriate update for mine model,but its alright. Can anybody please help me?
For your convenience-my 500 GB hard drive is almost full(~40 GB remaining) & i have only one partition. Would it be better if i create a different partition on it with OSX ;keep it 50% free all time & keep all other things in the other partition?
Kindly let me know if there is any other solution without reinstalling lion cause i don't have a network connection which can be of over ~1.5MB downlink speed.

I suspect this is the cause of your problem, your downloads didn't complete correctly.
Your going to have to take the machine to a very fast and reliable Internet connection +5Mb p/s download speeds all to yourself and perform a #18 Reinstall Just OS X
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Them from there you check on the other fixes, wait for updates for your third party software to work etc.
