How do I burn a data CD without a folder?

Hello All:
I have a client that wants me to create a CD-ROM with 2 pdf files and 1 .exe file. They'll replicate the CD from there. They want an end user to be able to load the CD into their Windows PCs and have all 3 files show up on the desktop without a parent folder. I've tried the Burn option under File, and have also used third party apps like Toast, but I can't burn more than one file at a time without a folder being created.
Is what I want to do possible?

Try this: Insert a blank CD. You 'll see a dialog box about what to do. Choose "Open Finder". An icon for the CD should appear on the Desktop. Drag the files you want on the CD to the CD icon. After dragging the last file, drag the CD icon to the trash. This should begin the burning process.

How do I burn a data disc that's compatible with Windows?

Everytime I burn a data disc on my Mac, it isn't compatible with PCs. It doesn't matter what PC I put the Mac data disc in, the PC crashes and gives me a BadPoolHeader blue screen. I take the disc out and have to restart the computer, once the disc is out everything is fine. My PC, which runs Windows XP, has an 2nd internal hard drive, which I use as a storage drive. I just want to transfer files from my Mac to the PC, so I can store some of my Mac's files (photos, word documents, music, and such) on that storage drive. I'm using a CD-R disc. Is there a way to burn a PC compatible data disc on my Mac? How can I do this (steps)? If it helps, I'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11.

Thank you so much Kappy, your steps worked! I can now make PC readable data disks, yay!
dbsneddon, I was also dragging and dropping into a burn folder and just hitting burn, but the discs that were created weren't readable in PCs, only on Macs. My friend tells me he is able to make discs that can read in PCs by just dragging and dropping too. My Mac is just being mean I think. It always has issues, it can never do anything that simple without giving me a problem lol.

How can I create a data connection without ODBC (directly with OLE DB)

If connecting to an OLE DB data source, which is not defined as ODBC, the well known error message appears in Acrobat, that the environment is not trusted. The Designer Help says, that the document must be certified in Acrobat to run OLE DB without ODBC. So I certified the document in Acrobat allowing dynamic content for it. But the error message always appears. So I have some questions to this:
How is the correct certification process in Acrobat to define a trusted environment for using OLE DB without ODBC?
Why generates using of ODBC an trusted environment? With using ODBC data sources can be changed external from Acrobat, so I must think, ODBC is absolutely insecure.
Why is OLE DB without ODBC insecure? Here I have a defined connection string, which cannot be changed at runtime (if the form developer this doesn't want).
And why is the first record displayed instead of the error message, if using OLE DB without ODBC, but navigation is impossible?
This seems all very mysterious to me.
Does anyone in the world has ever created an OLE DB data connection (without ODBC) with Designer and Acrobat, which runs in a trusted environment?
Thanks for your answers.

For the Projects, the trick will be the Asset files. If they will fit onto DVD DL discs, you're OK. If they are too large (DV-AVI is ~ 13GB per hour), then you'll need some type of backup, or spanning software, that will write files across multiple discs. A better choice, IMO, would be a 1 - 2 TB external, where you can use Project Manager, or just Windows Explorer and Copy, to do the entire Project folder with Assets. I'd recommend against a USB and go at least for FW-400. FW-800 would be better, but you'll need FW-800 connections on your computer. eSATA would be the best, but then you'll need eSATA connectors.
Good luck,

ITunes burns incomplete data DVDs (without reporting error)

I have a playlist with 908 songs (3,63 GB) I want to copy over to a data DVD. When iTunes finishes burning the data DVD+R, I get only 272 files (1,09GB). iTunes does not report any error at all: it finishes burning without a problem and generates an .XML file listing only the files it did copy to the DVD.
Has anyone seen this? Any explanation or solution? I am using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.1) and, apart from this, do not experience any problem with the DVD recorder.
Thank you.

When I open iTunes7 I receive an error message stating that drivers are missing; iTunes7 cannot import or burn CDs or DVDs without them.
was this your precise message?
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
if so, see:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
if you're getting a somewhat different message, would you mind telling us precisely what it says? (it's best if we aren't "guessing" what your problem might be.)
sometimes it's easiest to send us a screenshot of the error message box. for instructions, see this user tip:

How do you burn a data Back up DVD from the finder?

Is there an easy way to just burn a data back up disk using a Dual Layer DVD (I have the latest Macbook pro), using the finder or other stock apple utility?
thanks for your help.

thanks -BK
I use Verbatim DVD+R DL with perfect success.
I would start with a R/W DVD and just burn a test file or two.
One reason I use Toast is exactly what you experienced. Finder/DU burning usually works OK.
The key word there is usually.
I have never had a problem with Toast Titanium.
If you google with your error you get all kinds of issues/solutions.
One says that using an external drive worked but the internal did not.
I think it's a Catch-22 error.
There are also some settings that determine disk speed, write speed, etc. stored somewhere.
You can try the next step which is to use the disk utility directly. Open DU and click on the optical drive. From there you should be able to select the image you have and burn it.
If that fails, consider Toast, as I did. I have not used the DU/Finder burner since I got Toast.

Got Firefox Sync but lost my Key how can i get my data back without delete everything ?

My computer was deleted, i don't have any others devices ? How can i get back my information.
Apparently, there is no solution, this is shame. Why in my account i can't get back my key https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ? This service is useless if when we have a problem (all devices stolen for example) we can't get back any information...
I'm really disappointed, and so are others people as far as i can see. I have to start from the beginning all my bookmarks, so i will use Chrome from now. Thanks a lot Mozilla.

Sorry, but you're using Sync incorrectly if you don't have any other devices connected to that Sync account.
Sync wasn't intended to be a "cloud" storage device; it's intended to be used to "synchronize" a user's across multiple devices. Upon completion of the initial setup of Sync procedure, the user is shown the Recovery Key and is told to make a copy of that "key". There are buttons in the dialog window to "save" to disk or to "print" the Recovery Key. Unfortunately, too many users just ignored that message (or ignored it) and put themselves in the same position that you are now in - lost data and no way to recover that data.
The Sync / Recovery Key is used to encrypt your data as it is being uploaded to the Sync server and then used to decrypt your data when it is downloaded to one of your devices. Without the exact Sync Key that the user's data was encrypted with, the user's data is useless scrambled bunch of 1's and zero's.
Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync that eliminates the need for the user knowing their Recovery Key. The method that generates that "key" uses the user account name (email address) and the user password, so in the future user's shouldn't find themselves in the same position that you are now in.
''IMO, Mozilla provided too much security by having that 3rd security "key" (the Recovery Key), considering how many user's aren't using Sync as it was intended to be used.''

Help Please: how can I burn a dvd movie without a theme?

I know this has been asked before. But none of the previous answers/suggestions seem to work. I've tried to use the "looping" method from the help menu, I still get a theme, now at the end of my video "package". And it doesn't "loop". I've tried to take a jpeg from photos and cover the theme using the option key, but that doesn't work either. I just want to have the option to be able to "turn off" the themes and create a clean video dvd for people who don't have time to choose on-screen buttons. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Hey maybe you can help me. I was trying to figure out how to burn an iPhoto slideshow on iDVD, but don't want to use the lame Apple themes. I went to the link you pointed out about one-step iDVD's, but the problem is you have to have a movie, and iPhoto won't let me export my slideshow while keeping the music in sync. Insane.
So two questions... do you know how to export a slideshow to .M4V or .MOV without losing the sync between all the pictures and the music? I've got 88 slides all set to specific timing and Ken Burns effect, but every time I do an export the music becomes disconnected from the pictures and goes out of sync.
I did do an export to iDVD and it seemed to stay in sync but I can't figure out how to get rid of the ridiculous theme that iDVD is automatically using. I don't want a theme at all.
When is someone at Apple going to figure out that most people just want a plain wrapper?
Anyway, do you know any answers to my problems? Thanks. I've lost 4 slideshows this week as iPhoto keeps losing all the slide settings.

How do you burn a data disc in ML

Hi
I would like to burn a few install programs to a data disc so that should I ever need to I can reinstall them but I am a a loss as how to do this in mountain lion on 2012 imac I do have a superdrive but since i haven't done this before not sure how to go about it. I have several installer downloads I purchased , I just don't want to repurchase them later if I can help it . thanks for all help:)
also on another note but maybe related can I use my old idvd program from ( not for this but future home movies ) my 2008 imac box set???

In addition to Clinton's method (which is handy if you already have the data files in one place or are willing to move or copy them into one place), you can also make use of "burn folders" -- special folders of aliases that "Burn (name) to disc" will follow while burning. When you drag any file or folder into a burn folder, an alias is created (much faster than copying the data, and less disruptive then moving it).
Search for "burn folder" in Finder Help for more information.

Is it possible to burn a data DVD without numbered folders?

In iTunes I have a playlist sorted on Album by Artist with the intent of getting folders for each Artist, inside of which would I expect to have Albums when I get this to DVD-R, which our Acura MDX can read & play and display ID3 tags.
Problem is every folder on the burned media is preceeded by a number. I want the DVD-R to NOT have this since I can use the hands free selection knob which 'speaks' the folder names, but with numbers it's anoying since every album reads out "001 U2, 002 Kings of Leon...etc, etc"
I have a hunch that this only works for MP3 CD media, not DVD, as when I select MP3 CD iTunes seems to want me to create a data DVD.
Help! TXS!

How do I burn a data disc of my camcorder movies that can play on an HP?

Very frustrated, first I have no iDVD on my new Mac. Very disappointing. So now, I have my home movies on the Mac and need to burn them off to a disc, when I burn to a data disc, it wont play on another computer at all. Please help so that I can share my videos with others????

well-iDVD Used to be included, but now it's not =-( I think it's around $30
you could try using "Burn" which I think is freeware and will burn basic DVD video discs. Otherwise, you're gonna have to buy something. Yeah, mac's gonna take some gettin' used to, likewise, if I was to try and use a PC, it'd take some getting used to as well. iPhoto might help you with your photos and stuff and it may be included. You may be able to use right click on the movie and burn it to a disc. Dunno if it'll play back on a PC, though... if you had a cloud account or some storage space online you could do it that way, but, enough
well, I tried

How do I get a data plan without a recognized street address?

I live in a well-wired rural area that uses post office boxes and not street addresses. Because of that, my address is not listed in usps.com, and therefore does not exist to computers. Is there anyway, short of lying, to get a dataplan? We are on a major interstate, so connectivity is not a problem.

Copied from this link.
https://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/checkout/cannotBePOBox.jsp
Unfortunately, we cannot accept a post office box in place of your street address. A street address is required by Federal law to provide a geographic location for each wireless device that can be associated with the state, county, or city for tax purposes. In order to comply with the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act (MTSA) of 2002, AT&T is required to capture and maintain a Place of Primary Use (PPU) address for all of its customers. PPU is defined as a valid street (physical) address within the defined licensed service area for the customer's home market. This address is used only for taxation purposes, not to determine if a customer can have an out of market secondary/additional line. In addition, we use your street address to reduce the risk of identity theft and fraud against you. Our Credit and Activations policy is to run credit only on a physical address. Customers can provide a post office box for their mailing address, but not for billing or place of primary use. A post office box may be entered after the activation process has been approved. The billing zip code you provide us needs to match the zip code on your credit card. Our Credit and Activations policy matches the billing zip with the zip on your credit card as a way to reduce the risk of identity theft and fraud.

How can I burn my existing playlists? Can I do it without loading into the cloud?

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The ipod is not a backup/storage device.

How do I get my data from Sync account after I reformat my computers without backup favourites?

Hello,
I formatted my computer without backup all of my favourites in Firefox. I have Firefox sync account set up before that between the 2 computers but both of them have formatted. Now, how do I get the data out from my Sync account? Did Firefox save my data on their server and how can I check that?
Thanks,

Also:
*If you have regenerated your Sync key or reset your Sync password, you can not recover your previous data
*IMPORTANT - write down your Sync key as instructed in the original set up of Sync
*if you have another device (computer or mobile) paired to the computer where you are having a problem, you can either:
*#pair the problem computer to that other device
*#get the Sync key from that other device
'''<u>Remember</u>''', Sync was never intended for backup. The reason for its existence is to sync-up 2 devices. To back up your Firefox profile, which you should do frequently, to another drive or a pin/thumb drive or other backup media, see:
