CS6 Feature: CD Burning! Could ZIP Drives be next? (No.)

Hey Audition fans and followers! No breakfast and a lot of coffee has me on a roll this morning. We've already posted a great blog entry covering the basics of CD Burning at http://blogs.adobe.com/insidesound/2012/04/audio-cd-burning-in-adobe-audition-cs6.html but I wanted to go into a bit of detail, as there's some new functionality worth sharing.
First, create CD Layouts which allow extensive customization of the track order and timing, as well as full CD-TEXT support for tracks and CDs.
The columns displayed in the Layout view can be customized and edited based on the fields most important to you. The Properties panel displays detailed information about the contents and CD-Text fields. You can insert files directly from the Files panel, the Media Browser, or from CD Track Marker ranges in the Markers panel. (The Markers panel now allows you to view markers for ALL open files which makes this process even simpler when you're working with pieces from a lot of assets.)
Well, that's great if what you've got is a finished set of mastered files, all prepped and ready to emboss to a shiny disc. But I'm sure we've all had access to a time machine, gone back to 1972, and secretly recorded a Doobie Brothers show supporting the release of their Toulouse Street album, then wanted to commit it to CD after returning to our own time, right? Unfortunately, we only have one long file and we'd like to split the show up into separate tracks so that we can be sure to skip over their butchered cover of Sonny Boy Williamson's blues classic, Don't Start Me to Talkin'. You know what I mean. Audition CS6 makes it so simple! Just make a selection for each song, create a CD Track marker (SHIFT+M is the default shortcut,) then select File > Export > Burn Audio to CD... and you'll be on your way to getting down in no time! (Since we already acknowledge that we have a time machine, perhaps the quickness of this process won't matter to you, but it does to me! It does to me...)
Audition CS6 integrates Sonic CD Burning technology as a well-supported, cross-platform solution.

I should point out that Audition will fully support importing from and writing to ZIP Drives if you still have one. No offense was intended by that remark, and we embrace the choice to store your files on expensive, cumbersome media, 100MB at a time.

Internet Explorer has stopped working on home computer - is it possible to download firefox & then burn to zip drive & install from there?

I cannot get to the internet because MS Internet Explorer has stopped working & I would like to use firefox anyway. Is there a way to install from zip drive? I am using Windows 7

The Firefox download is the complete installer, and yes, you can run it from external storage such as CD, ZIP, or USB flash drive. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop
You probably want to get IE repaired as well, since Windows uses the components of IE to check for updates, among other things. This isn't the best forum for Windows help. You could try here: http://windowssecrets.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/52-Windows-7-Forum

Internal Zip Drive and Internal DVD Burner Question:

Where can I find an internal Zip drive for my b&w g3 desktop?
Or should I just get an external USB or 1394 Zip drive?
+(I have a 20gb hard drive that doesn't have its computer anymore and I connected it to a Gateway 2000 and the hard drive has Windows 98 SE with lots of files...jpegs for example...and I am going to get the files off of the hard drive before I erase it and put it on another desktop. The only way I can get it off is with a Zip drive. The USBs wouldn't work).+
Besides that one reason, I was going to get an internal Zip Drive for my Apple desktop anyways.
I have a DVD Rom in the apple desktop. I also want to upgrade it to a DVD Burner / DVD+R/RW or whatever it is called. Is that possible?

I have a B&W G3/400 purchased in '96 which I've upgraded with the PowerLogix 1.1 GHz Zif Upgrade. When Apple introduced OSX I also installed and ATA hard drive, and a few years ago I replaced the original Apple CD ROM with a Pioneer DV D-RW DVR-111D (which surprisingly burns DVD's faster than my new iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core2 Duo). The Pioneer DVD burner works like a charm. There were no issues at all when it came to the instyallation: rebooting, reading installation CD's or what have you. It was true, PLUG & PLAY.
The G3 is currently running:
1) OSX 10.4.11, on an ATA drive (Maxtor 6L100PO; 93.37GB) &
2) MAC OS 9.2.2 on the original equipment 9GB SCSI Drive
The G3 cannot take advantage of the ZIF processor upgrade in OSX 10.4.11, and I am in the process of downgrading OSX to 10.4.9 so that I can take advantage of the faster processor. According to PowerLogix the ZIF upgrade is not compatible with a later version of OSX after 10.4.9 as they have been unable to keep up with the changes Apple has been making in the OS.
I hope this helps.

Adding a new Hard Drive in the Zip Drive Bay

Today, I was looking inside my power mac 466 Digital Audio, and I realized that it appeared that a third hard drive could fit into the Zip Drive bay. I has a spare HD and Zip drive lying around, and I realized that they are the same height and width. I know that they use the same connectors (on some dells, the zip drive is plugged in with the HD 2 connector), so is it possible to connect a third hard drive in the Zip bay. In the powermac manual, apple doesn't say that you can, but is it possible, and if it is possible, is it harmful to the computer?

Those particular PowerMacs have two IDE controllers with master/slave setups. One IDE controller is for the optical and Zip drives and the other is for hard drives. You can have two IDE hard drives on the double sled in the back of the PowerMac. You can have a single hard drive each on the middle and front sleds also, but you'll need a separate PCI controller for those drives. That would give you four hard drives without doing anything contrary to Apple's original design. You can put a pair of 120GB IDE hard drives on the double sled and built in IDE controller in the back and then put a pair of 1.5TB SATA drives on the middle and front sleds hooked to a PCI SATA controller. If you need more than that you've still got FireWire and Gigabit Ethernet external storage... What are you doing that needs that much storage anyway? Can't you just burn stuff to CD or DVD and get it off your hard drive(s)? I do video encoding for a TV network and I really don't use much hard drive space. I burn my finished work onto CD or DVD and then delete it off my hard drives.

How to transfer photo files from Iomega Zip Drive cassette to my iMac?

1 GHz PowerPC G4
768 MB DDR SDRAM
external hard disk 500 GB
external hard disk 125 GB
Many years ago I stored/copied my photos onto a Iomega Zip Drive cassette. Subsequently I lost everything in a computer malfunction which Apple Store could not fix; they ultimately replaced my computer. The computer that I was using when I used the Iomega Zip Drive was a Mac Quadra, not an iMac. Unfortunately, I had not backed up anything so the only thing that I have from the time prior to the malfunction is what I have stored on these Zip Drive cassettes and on the hard drive of the iMac that malfunctioned and was replaced with a new iMac. The photos that I really want to get are those of my husband who has since passed away.
It has been so long that I used them or even looked at them that now I don't know how to get those photos onto my present iMac (and I am assuming that it is possible).
Would you be so kind as to tell me what to do to transfer my photos from the Iomega Zip Drive cassette? Thank you very much.

Lorna, I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
The easiest thing to do is to purchase an External USB Zip drive (link). As ZIP disks are now legacy technology ebay has a great many available which means they are pretty low cost. Simply connect the drive and insert the disk. The disk will mount on to the desktop.
Alternatively you could see if a local Internet café still has such as drive available and they will be able to burn the contents to CD for a few dollars.
Hope that helps.

Booting from a zip drive

Is this possible. If so anyone want to tell me how to?

sk8,
There are two ways to boot a Zip disk on the Lombard:
- Use the third-party VST Zip100 media bay drive; you can find used drives on eBay and probably some Mac-oriented sellers of used hardware.
- Use a SCSI Zip drive and the same regarding used drives. You will need an HDI-30 connector for the powerbook's SCSI port.
The Lombard does not support USB booting...this feature was added to the Pismo and only for 9.x.
You can also find VST and MCE media bay HDs that will boot the Lombard.

How do I download firefox to a disc (or zip drive) and transfer it to another pc (one without a browser)?

I updated firefox to the newest version and it wouldn't work (something about the proxy server) so I stupidly tried to fix it by using the restore program. I then realized that the old firefox was uninstalled when I downloaded the new updated version and now I have no way to get on the internet at home. Some very nice people told me I could download firefox to a disc or zip drive and then install it on my computer at home. I couldn't save the stupid thing, it just installed itself on the computer. I know this is a ridiculous request, but could someone please, please, please give me a step by step? It would really be appreciated.

Lindsey, go to the web page that cor-el refers to in his/her reply. You will find a grid with all of the different languages that FF comes in.
Select "english (US)" and click on the "download" link for your operating system. You will go to another page where it states that your download will begin automatically.
You should then see a message box come up and ask if you want to save the file. Click on "Save File" and save it to whatever device you are using to transfer it to the other PC.
Take the device with the file and plug it into the other computer. Using "My Computer," navigate to the device and double-click on the file. It will then start the FF installation process. Follow the on-screen directions from there. The file is about 8.2Mb so allow yourself enough space on your device.
I hope this little note will get you where you want to go, but remember; "No matter where you go............there you are."

Can I use a ZIP drive with my LCII?

Can I just plug in a SCSI ZIP drive in my pizza-box and get it working? I can use it with mac OS 6 or 7, I need to exchange and storage files.
Something like this : http://cgi.ebay.it/IOMEGA-ZIP-100MB-EXTERNAL-SCSI-DRIVE-MAC-PC-AOK-WARANTY-/1305 26545470?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item1e63fd063e#ht_1239wt_1141
Thank you!

Do you need to store the files on Zip disks or could you use an external SCSI hard drive? The reason I ask is that Zip drives, while very useful and convenient, had some production problems and/or a design flaw (depending on one's point of view) for a while. The problem was named after the symptom that it caused - "Click of Death" or "Death Click." You'd insert a disk into the drive and hear the heads click down to find the control track, then after a few moments, the heads would release, then click down again, then release, etc. While the drive was still powered ON and trapped in this endless cycle, you couldn't eject the disk with the Mac OS "Put Away" command or by pressing the manual eject button. Whether it was an alignment problem or not, the disks became damaged. I don't think that Iomega ever compiled a definitive serial number range for affected units, so there's really no way to determine whether or not a used unit will develop the problem at some point. I bought an internal SCSI Zip drive about 6 years ago at eBay and it developed the problem within a couple of weeks. Fortunately, the seller sent me a replacement and didn't require return shipping of the bad drive. You could be lucky and get a drive that has had little usage and delivers trouble-free performance for as long as you need it. As for using the Zip drive with your LC II, you may need to download an older version of the IomegaWare software from Iomega's web site, to be compatible with the Mac OS you're running - especially if it's System 6. I've never used a Zip drive with anything older than 7.5, possibly 7.1 on my LC III - I can't remember since I soon upgraded the LC III to OS 7.6.1. With the Iomega software on a floppy disk, you can run the "Iomega Guest" program, that enables use of the Zip drive without installing the software on the hard drive. Otherwise, installing the IomegaWare software on the hard drive would be most beneficial to you.

Can i install system 7 on a zip drive?

Hi
I own a Mac plus and i'd like to connect it to the internet. I had a look at a few web browsers, like MacWWW "Samba" but it isn't great. I'd like to try out MacWeb, but it requires system 7. It appears I need to install system 7 on a hard disk to do so. Problem is, I don't have any SCSI hard disk... and they are quite expensive on ebay. So I was wondering, is it possible to install it on a zip drive? They are quite inexpensive and I already have zip disks at home.
I've never hooked one up to a "classic" Mac, so I hope the os recognises it as a drive and not as a floppy. If not, I'm afraid this won't work...
Thanks,
Bad Gold Eagle
PS: My Mac has 1Mb of RAM, I've got a copy of 7.1. Is 1Mb enough for the early version of MacWeb (1.1.1E)?

Hello,
A Zip drive can be connected to a Macintosh Plus. The following web page has further information about this:
http://www.vintagemacworld.com/pluszip.html
System 7 requires at least 2 MB of RAM. In order to connect a 68000 processor machine to the Internet, you should really have the maximum amount of RAM, though (in this case 4 MB).
An older Internet FAQ could possibly be of interest to you:
http://www.knubbelmac.de/spiegel/mac-internet-faq-2002-12.html
You may also need access to another appropriate approx. 1991-1997 Macintosh computer (with a floppy drive for both 800K and 1.44 MB) to be used as an intermediary for software downloads.
System 7.1 came on 1.44 MB floppy disks, which cannot be used directly on a Macintosh Plus. A full US System 7.0 on 800K floppy disk images contained in a larger self-mounting image (.smi) is available for download from Apple:

AUDIO SAMPLES FROM IOMEGA 100 ZIP DRIVE TO MAC BOOK PRO / LOGIC?

Posted: Fri, Feb 15 2013, 1:27pm Post subject: AUDIO SAMPLES FROM ZIP 100 TO MACBOOK PRO / LOGIC?
HI THERE
I HAVE LOADS OF OLD AUDIO SAMPLES ON ZIP DISKS ( ZIP 100 using akai cd3000 sampler ) THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER TO MY MAC BOOK PRO FOR LOGIC EX24.
IS IT A SIMPLE CASE OF A 'SCSI TO USB LEAD' , WILL MY MAC BOOK PICK IT UP FROM THERE OR DO I NEED SOFTWARE OR DRIVERS FOR MY MAC TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM?
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE AT ALL?
THANKS

Hi guys
Sorry for the delay in coming back. I bought a zip drive pretty cheaply then and it has only just turned up. However when I put my old ZIP disks in, it seems like the ZIP drive reads them at least but the MACBOOK comes up with the following message...
'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer'
Does this pretty much mean a no go then? Or can I put the samples from my AKAI sampler back through the old ZIP drive, reformat some new disks in a certain way on that drive so that my MAC can read them?
All its for really is mainly to take old tracks that used these samples and getting them set up in my mac. Also there was some good bits and pieces there anyway and would like to keep using those samples for newer projects. I could of coourse resample them from the AKAI straight to the MAC but would be not as practical and would take alot longer. The 13'' macbook pros input is not digital, only its output.
thanks

My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer. What can I do?

My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer. What can I do?

Thanks Old Comm Guy, BD Aquam and Texas Mac Man for youradvice and reply to my question
and problem with my Zip Drive. However:
    1. Depressing mouse buttonon start up did not eject the zip disk.
    2. To examine front of zipdrive, I had to remove many screws and several plastic case
         coverings. Upon doing thatI discovered that, unfortunately, there is no whole in front
          of mybuilt-in zip hardware drive for me to insert a paper clip to manually eject zipdisk.
      3. I went to the Utilities folder in myMac OS X Application folder, but I could not find
           theiomega zip drive in there.
Also, I did go into my "9" System folder and thento the Extensions folder within it and did find an icon of an
Iomega Driver. When double clicking on it a window came upstating I was opening the application
"ColorSync Extension" for thefirst time, and asking if I was sure I wanted to open this application.
Uponclicking open nothing happened - nothing opened.
I also went into the "System X" folder>Libraryfolder>Extension folder>IomegaSAM.ket icon and double
clicked on it and asmall window opened stating "Compiling file List", however nothingopened it just
continued to compile, so I closed it.
Within my Mac OS X HD> Applications>Iomega folder>Iomega Tools.app a smallwindow opened up
with several options (Erase, Protect, Disk Info and DriveInfo). Clicking on the Drive Info a message says:
"No Iomega Drives or noIomega Driver found. Therefore, Ihave gone to Mac, Iomega and other websites
trying to find a Driver for thebuilt-in Zip Drive in my Mac G-4 OS X 10.4.11, but have not really found anythat work.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A WEBSITE WHERE I CANDOWNLOAD A NEW DRIVER FOR MY ZIP DRIVE?
Thanks,     Peterfromcrystallake

Is it possible to use an internal optical drive/ZIP drive mount from a PowerMac G4 Graphite in a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver?

Hello, All. Is it possible to use an internal optical drive/ZIP drive mount from a Power Mac G4 Graphite (Sawtooth) in a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver? Obviously, the two computers use physicly different mounts, but does anyone have any tips or hints to make this possible? I appreciate any advice.

"I may be persistent and attempt to drill holes in the correct position in the front of the Quicksilver chassis."
Unfortunately, it's more than a case of drilling a couple of holes. The modification isn't really feasible, and after you remove the front panel from the Quicksilver case, you'll see what I mean. In the Optical/Zip drive area, the Quicksilver's front chassis wall isn't cut out the same way as previous models were. Prior to the Quicksilver models, the front plastic bezel (with the hinged Optical drive door and a blank or Zip-slotted bezel) was snapped in from the front, after the front panel was installed. The chassis wall had a large opening to accommodate installation/removal of the Optical and Zip drive carrier. As I indicated before, in the Quicksilver model, the Optical and Zip drive carrier is mounted internally. This is necessary because the front chassis wall has two separate openings cut in it. The upper opening is for the oval-shaped, hinged Optical drive door (snaps into place from the interior of the chassis) and the lower opening is a narrow slot for Zip disk insertion and the eject button. To use the Optical and Zip drive carrier from a Sawtooth G4 would require cutting the Quicksilver's front chassis wall, to create an opening large enough for the carrier. In doing this, you'd cut away the metal which has (7) small holes in it, through which the hinged door assembly's plastic mounting pins are inserted to properly position and secure it in place. If you don't want to lose the use of the hinged optical drive door, including the appearance of a seamless front panel, you can't cut away that metal. If you don't care about having a permanent oval opening in the front panel in front of the optical drive, you could attempt your modification. Because the Quicksilver's optical drive typically needs to have the trim piece unsnapped from the front of its tray, I'd want to retain the front panel's hinged door bezel to prevent excessive dust from entering the drive. As I recommended before, check ebay for a pulled carrier.

Mac won't recognize CD and Zip Drive

I have a Beige g3 MiniTower 400mhz running 9.2.2 with built in Apple CD and Zip Drive. Overnight, the machine no longer recongnizes either drive. The extensions are there, and checked. I upgraded from 9.2.1 to 9.2.2 - no change. I downloaded the latest Iomega drivers and tools - no change. Any suggestions as to how I fix this problem - where can I download the drivers for these drives so I can replace them? I bought the machine used and do not have any original OS install disks. Also, if I hook up an external SCSI Zip drive to the external SCSI port, the machine hangs and will not boot - any idea why it would do that? any help you could give would be appreciated - thanks - Charlie Mac
