How do I backup multiple times to dvd-rw

I'm new to iMAC after 10 years with PCs. With Windows XP I could copy any folder to a DVD-rw multiple times and it would just write over picking up any chages.
My iMAC won't let me do that unless I erase the DVD first.
Is that correct and what is Apples logic for this?
iMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You need to use a application which can do multi-session burning:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/burnxfree.html
With this you can burn some file's to a DVD and add later more file's to the same disk. You can not delete saperate file's from multi-session disk's. If you want to erase data, you need to erase the whole disk!
You can use this free application to erase DVD-rw or CD-rw disk's:
http://megablanker.sourceforge.net/
Adding, moving, and deleting files on a CD-rw or DVD-rw as if it is a hard disk or memory stick is called 'Mount Rainer' support (no idea why...). PatchBurn is the only application which does support Mount Rainer for OSX:
http://www.patchburn.de/
So if you want to do this the only option is to use PatchBurn!
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem. Consider rewarding some points!

  • How do I backup multiple Macs to a time capsule with Mavericks?

    I have 2 mac books needing to back up to a single time capsule.  I have heard the key to doing this is to limit the size of each mac book’s sparse bundle and then tell time machine not to resize the sparse bundle when it backs up.  I have tried a terminal command and using disk utility but neither seems to be working although I also can’t seem to figure out how to verify if my efforts have worked either.  Please help!

    Hmmm it doesn't always work.. but as long as you keep track of it .. I doubt you will have major issues.
    A8 on setting Sparsebundle size.
    Easy solution.. plug in USB drive into the TC, for one laptop.. and use internal disk for the other.. solved.

  • How do I backup Quicktime videos to DVD?

    For some reason, my digital camera records movies in quicktime format.  I also recently purchased an iPad and I have started taking short home videos on that as well.  I want to back these movies up onto a DVD (or by any other method that people might suggest) but for some reason I cannot burn the quicktime videos. My main reason for wanting to do this is to preserve the movies (they are movies of my kids that we'll want to watch many years from now, long after my computer and iPad are dead).  The second reason is to free up space on the iPad.
    An alternative question would be:  What is the best way to backup home video to preserve them (forever) and free up space on my devices?

    Buy an external hard drive and copy the files to that.  It will be cheaper in the long run than burning to DVD, a lot easier and faster to do, and optical media can go bad with time.  If this is the only copy of these movies, buy two drives because hard drives can suddenly die on you too.
    Look into gettting something like the http://newertech.com/products/voyager_index.php which lets you use multiple bare drives for archiving purpurses rather than having to buy multiple enclosures.

  • How to resume backup on time capsule

    I have recently moved and obviously have a new wireless network. Airport Time Capsule is set up, but now Time Machine wants to do a full 134gb backup instead of just picking up where I left of before the move! How do I prevent this huge backup and just backup the changes made since the move??

    See B6 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

  • How do I backup my time capsule to another time capsule over the internet

    I have a Time Capsule that I use for backups locally within my own home. My parents have one as well that they use for their backups. Ideally it would be great to have my backups offsite -- if your house burns down it doesn't help that your backups were in the house...
    So is there a way to copy (automatically) the image from one TC to another and vice versa over the internet?

    No, there isn't, and even if there was, it would take forever, or possibly longer. 
    Any backup done over the internet will be quite slow; upload speeds are generally much, much slower than download speeds.  Some of the companies that do internet backups, such as Mozy, Carbonite, etc., actually ship you an external HD for the first backup.  You ship that back, they load it onto their servers, then do "incremental" backups of what's changed over the net.
    In addition, it's not a good idea to back up a backup; any problem with the original will be copied to, and perhaps magnified, on the copy. 
    A much better approach is to get a portable external HD; do backups to it, then take it to a secure off-site location.  See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for some suggestions, especially the pink box there.
    It still might be a good idea to have some limited data backed-up over the internet, such as relatively-small things and/or things that rarely change.

  • How do I backup to time machine with a new internal hard drive?

    My Macbook Pro's hard drive got corrupted about a year ago so I had to get the hard drive completely replaced. However, I wanted to start backing up my data to time machine so if the same situation were to reoccur, I would be better prepared. For some reason Time Machine does not recognize the new internal hard drive of the computer as it is supposed to. Could someone please help? thank you in advanced
    Current OS: OS X 10.8.4

    That error message is saying that it is attempting to setup a Time Capsule for Time Machine to backup your data on.
    Do you have a Time Capsule?
    Do you have an external Disk Drive?
    You can do a backup to the internal disk drive. It is worthless to do that.

  • How to locally backup multiple iPhones with different IDs

    Hi all, I have a simple need to backup 2 iPhones using different Apple IDs.  I understand that I can use iCloud to backup each on the cloud and no issue there.  But when I ran local backup for both on the same computer, here comes the problem...
    The 2 iPhones have some overlapping apps, but separately purchased on two accounts.  It seems that iTunes only keeps one copy of those overlapping apps, namely only the copy using the ID of the first phone in the sequence of backup.  So when I try to restore on the second phone, it will simply install those overlapping apps using the copy stored locally, which does not belong to the second ID.  This seems to create a lot of confusion later on when apps are updated, since the second user will be prompted to enter the password of the first ID.
    I suppose this kind of scenario is not uncommon.  Is there a way iTunes can properly deal with this?  Or did I not do the backup/restore correctly?

    Thanks, Lyssa.  I guess that probably will work, but feels like an overkill for a simple task.
    By the way, I am using iTunes on PC.  So the default path for media folder is C:\Users\USERNAME\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media, and the apps are stored in the Mobile Applications sub-folder under that path.  I wonder whether it will work to backup the first phone as usual first, change this path in the Advanced Preferences to another user created folder, and then backup the second phone.  During restore, I assume one can do the reverse and restore each phone while this path in preference is set accordingly.
    That's just an idea I have come to, inspired by your solution of changing user account... haven't tried it out yet.  I have to say, even that sounds like an inconvenient workaround.  Is there any more elegant method I wonder...?

  • How to run a webdynpro multiple times by passing different parameters each time and save webpages with parameter name?

    Hi Experts,
    I am a BW consultant and new to webdynpro. Not sure how to run RSO_METADATA_REPOSITORY multiple times and by passing different parameter values each time(either taken from an a standard BW table or user provided - anything is fine) and build web pages with parameter name. Need help with direction on where to start.
    Let me step back and explain my requirement:
    In BW we have an object called transformation.
    One way of generating documentation for transformation is highlight transformation and press F1. Then its documentation will be opened as a local web page.
    I need these web pages for all transformations. This is my requirment.
    I came to know that RSO_METADATA_REPOSITORY is beeing used to generate this web page.
    The web link is something like below:
    http://ubw05.xxx.com:8005/SAP/BW/DOC/METADATA/?page=BW_O_D&SystemID=BWPCLNT100&ClassID=TRFN&ID=0KHR6J65AIIUTCJZEC093K6XDFV909PB&objectVersion=A&sap-language=EN&sap-client=100
    When i run this link seperately(not by selecting transformation and pressing F1) i need to enter login credentials to BW system.
    My challenges is how do i pass login credentials and multiple transformation IDs to generate multipe web pages with each page named by transformation ID?
    WHere to start? First of all is RSO_METADATA_REPOSITORY Webdynpro JAVA or webdynpro ABAP or can i use anything?
    Since it is beeing opened as local webpages i assume it is webdynpro JAVa is that correct?
    Thanks,

  • Deploy in same host multiple times

    So here is the story..
    I created a sample sybase plug in which runs in one host (unix)
    There are multiple sybase instances running in the same host. (actually combination of both in different hosts) but just for the example lets say its the same host.
    Instances properties are defined in the plug to set the userid, instance name and password for connectivity.
    Now how do I deploy multiple times the same plug in, in the same host .[one for each instance]
    Thank you

    Anyone have similar situation ?
    Just curious when we develop for script for a unix box which has multiple sybase instances running, should the scripts be developed for each instance , then renamed , create multiple plug-ins and deploy in same box [ one for each instance
    [OR]
    create one script for all instances running....not sure if anyone has tried this...thanks for any input.

  • How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time?

    How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time? I have several duplicate items in my library and would like to delete the duplicates. Thanks!

    You can select multiple items using shift to select a range and control to add or remove items from it.
    Regarding duplciates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

  • How do I "check" multiple songs at same time?

    I'm trying to backup my itunes library to DVD, but itunes will only burn songs from a playlist if the box is checked. I have 900+ songs that are unchecked that I need to backup. I realize I can just re-import them from the original CD, but then I will also have to rate the songs all over again.
    A. How do I check multiple songs, or...
    B. Is there another way to backup the ratings data for each song?

    Highlight all the songs that you want, you could hit command+A to select them all.
    Then right click, or control+click and choose "Check Selections"

    Hi lepyykko,
    If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right?  The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer.  Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
