How much cd burning is too much?

Can too much burning damage my computer?

No ... although your Mac is not a professional disk duplicator, so if you do a lot of high-quantity burning you may put more wear and tear on the drive mechanism than you would normally, but most reasonable disk burning falls within the drive's tolerances. How much are you doing?

How much time is on that Playlist-Burning CD

Is there a better, even slightly more sophisticated way of determining just how much time is on a playlist? For burning to a CD?
I'm trying to burn a CD that holds 80 minutes, or 700 MB. I know that what that really means is that the CD can accommodate about 74 minutes of recorded time.
In iTunes, the particular playlist says I've used about 1.3 hours.
What does that mean?
How does iTunes calculate the "." something? Does the .1, .2, .3, .4, etc. translate into a defined amount of minutes?
Does the memory, or size of the particular tune factor in? I didn't think so. I've just been looking at "time." (By the way, all of the tunes on this playlist are AIFF. Didn't bother to convert them to MP3 or AAC.) But I would if I had to. (Just a lot more time and work.)
There must be a better way of measuring just how much time one has included in a Playlist for burning.
Any thoughts, advice, suggestions would be very much appreciated.
P.S. As always, iTunes "Help" has been of no help. Unless they're keeping it a secret somewhere.

HangTime,
You're here in iTunes too? You're everywhere. What the heck would I do without you?
As always, you are right. Problem solved.
But one more thing, when I went to print out the song list for the CD, the order was all changed. In an order I don't comprehend. How do I get it to print out the songs in the order I have them on my playlist? I need that, to put into the CD sleeve. Have no idea why it came out all jumbled up. Totally, random. Tried to show lists according to Artist, Album, Song, etc. to no avail.

Too High Bit rate error no matter how much reduce it

After Exporting an HDV 1080i 16:9 3 sequences from FCP via
compressor at Best SD DVD 90 minutes, 16:9, and burning two DVD-Rs that work, now DVDSP keeps giving me Video Bit Rate too high error and stops building shortly after starts. And no matter how much I lower bit rate won't do it! HELP

I think - and see if you agree - that I exported using a compressor bit rate setting of 6.0 and max of 7.5 on the first 56 min sucessful sequence build/burn, and then thought I could go higher on the second export so goosed the max bit rate to 9.0 since there were occassional big bits of motion. So now on the other two sequences DVD SP won't adjust that previous compression rate, and instead I will have to sacrifice the audio quality (use Dolby only)
to get it to build. I certainly DON't want to wait 26 to 28 hours again for each sequence to export!! Does that sound right?

The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. Sir Jony Ive's GUI design for iOS7 has been met with much skepticism (to say the least). But until the company sees the compelling need for an adjustment or reversal, it "ain't happenin' ". So amble over to the feedback page ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ ) and make your displeasure known to the company, OR make it known by not purchasing its products. Because as long as the iGadgets continue selling as fast as they can make them, they will see no need for change.
BTW, do note you are NOT talking to Apple here. This is just a user-to-user forum.
Edit: for now, you can also try out any of the alternate calendaring apps available in the App Store.

How much RAM should I upgrade too?

I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. It is a mid-2012 model. It currently has 4 GB. I connect it to an external monitor which makes it easier for me to use while editing. I always have the application sit and load with the spinning ball icon. I use FCPX, Photoshop, and After Effects on a daily basis. I was wondering if the RAM increase would help me create my videos more efficently. Thanks for all the comments and help ahead of time!

You should benefit from adding more RAM. How much is hard to say but at least to 8 GBs. You might know more if you observed your memory usage in Activity Monitor.
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

How Much is Too Much?

Hi everyone,
I have recently been using my macpro more and more for high-def video work. I usually leave it on 24 hours a day as at night I set up a batch of files in compressor to run over night. Essentially, all my CPUs are maxed almost all the time. I am wondering if this could become a problem? I have read a little about average loads but don't fully understand what they mean. Mine are: 8.60, 7.58 and 7.42 and I am getting pretty high temps on my CPUs, power supplies and hard drives (about 44C, 54C and 39C average respectively). Am I pushing this thing too hard? How much is too much? Please see my system specs below.
Thanks a lot!
~ Philip

Don't let the drives get to 70C! they can take 50C safely. Memory and graphics are more of a concern. The cpu will protect itself.
smcFanControl can insure that your fans stay above the default minimums, which is worth taking a look at (freeware).
Fluctuation in temps between extremes can stress a hard drive and memory.

How much is too much music on itunes?

im uploading a lot of music onto my itunes, for two different ipods, and i dont know if i put too much music on if there will be a lag or anything
can someone please tell me how much music a computer can take before significantly slowing down?

As long as there's at least 1GB of space free on the hard disk at all times and the iTunes library isn't stored on the Finder's desktop, you shouldn't experience a major slowdown regardless of how big the iTunes library gets.

I'm on a prepaid plan for the 4s, i want the hotspot option which isn't offered on the prepaid plan. heard the connection is too slow on the 4s only worth it on the 5 or 5s. would you agree? not sure how much the hotspot would increase my monthly bill...

To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.

How much can too many imports slow inititialization down?

How much can too many imports slow applet inititialization down?
I have seen our company's sorce code for some huge applets they have written. In many, many cases, the imports at the beginning of each file are written something like this...
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;Only certain portion of these imports are actually used. Does this sort of thing really impact the applets loading speed? I know it will obviously take at least a little longer but will the user even notice?

You are not actually importing the classes, but rather making the names of the classes available.

How can i burn a slideshow to a dvd disc and keep the same full screen hi-def quality to it? I exported it to idvd but much of the quality was lost.

Ask in the iDVD forum on what's the best way out of iPhoto and into iDVD. The resident expert there, Bengt Wärleby, can give you the best option.

IPhoto DVD Burn, How much extra space is needed?

I did a few tests, and each time, I found the same result.
If I filled a disc (DVD or CD) to nearly capacity, iPhoto couldn't burn the disc, saying that there was an error. When I burn a 4.7 gig DVD to 4.0 gigs, the disc burns successfully. How much 'extra' space do I need to leave for iPhoto to burn correctly?
TIA

Benson:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you're running into it the disparity between what iPhoto reports as the size of the select photos and what it needs to burn an iPhoto disk. As you know there's a big difference. Check the iPhoto Library folder size in the Finder and compare that to what iPhoto indicates when you click on the main library icon. The difference will be all the thumbnails, original files, modified files, data and database files. My test library is 74 via iPhoto and 98MB via the finder. That's a lot of overhead.
I guess I would keep the iPhoto reported size to about 4.2G max. when burning to a DVD disk. Of course it would vary depending on the number of edited photos are in the batch you selected.

How can i see how much space is left before i burn a cd

how can i see how much space is left before i burn a cd? My old OS showed it at the bottom of the window, but loin doesn't have it anymore.

Open a Finder window > go to View > choose show path bar (and/or status bar, sidebar).....
Mine are showing (hence the choice to "hide" them).

Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/12/compressed-memory-in-os-x-109-maverick s-aims-to-free-ram-extend-battery-life
Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.

How much of logging is too much of logging?

Hi All,
OK, that was my question, how much of logging is too much of logging?
Recently one of my co-worker (not me, not me at all) had written about 100 classes and after getting the framework right, he has now been asked to log all those bunch of classes and methods.
He is damn bored and fed up with logging and he needs to log it in a ratio of 1 line of logging per 10 lines of code (approximately). And he also must log "ENTERING", "EXITING" in each method whenever he enters and exits a method.
I personally like to log as little as possible, although we don't log everything in INFO and we do log a lot of things in DEBUG logging level, logging every method doesn't feel correct to me.
And I hate too much of logging because to me it makes the code unreadable. Many of you will disagree this point, but I feel the important log statements often get messed up with those "ENTERING" and "EXITING" kind of log statements.
And another question, when is the right time to log? Logging as and when we are writing the code or logging it after everything is done (like how the pure dude is doing now). The former seems to be the better.
Your thoughts??
Thank you

Hi All,
OK, that was my question, how much of logging is too
much of logging?Too general for a one size fits all answer.
And he also must log
"ENTERING", "EXITING" in each method whenever he
enters and exits a method.Sounds fine, especially if it logs the parameters passed to the method, as well as what it returned (if not void) or if it returned via exception.
>

although we don't log everything in INFO and we do
log a lot of things in DEBUG logging level, logging
every method doesn't feel correct to me.It's reasonable. During development, logging may be very verbose, but it can be useful. During production, you can configure the logging to not log at the DEBUG level, so you wouldn't see these log messages anyway and it shouldn't impact performance enough to be a concern.
And I hate too much of logging because to me it makes
the code unreadable. Many of you will disagree this
point, but I feel the important log statements often
get messed up with those "ENTERING" and "EXITING"
kind of log statements.This is a perfect fit for AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming). Rather than clutter the code with these log messages, these can be "woven" into the bytecode at compile-time or run-time.
Aspect-J is one popular AOP framework.

My Ipod plug into stereo, some how the stereo not work and burn the battery, its make my ipod can't turn on at all, if I need to repair it how much its cost, do you think?

Hi, I put my Ipod into the stereo, some how the power of the stereo burned out & make my ipod not work anymore. If I plug my ipod into computer its not on and the battery feel very hot, so if I send it out to fix, how much do you think its cost? And how do I check online to see what generation I was bought? I bought it online with Apple. Thanks.
Tran Thai.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
