I can't burn CD's - how do you do it?

I'm trying to burn documents/pictures etc onto cd's. (I can burn music from itunes no prob) I've been told all I have to do it insert the blank cd and drag and drop. Seems like i've run into a big problem! Firstly, the blank disk's icon doesn't even show up on the desktop. I insert the cd and disk copy automatically opens. A window pops up that says "drag a disk image here to mount it or drag a folder/volume here to create a disk image from it". Another box pops up at the same time that is titled burn image. However, if I click on a folder with all my pictures in it , it is all greyed out and the BURN IMAGE button is greyed out. Also most of the pull down menu options are also greyed out including disk copy help!
I just found some instructions I must have printed out a while ago and it says when i insert the blank cd a box should pop up that says " the disc needs to be prepared for burning do you want to prepare this disk?" well, that message never pops up - and like i said the icon never even shows up on the desktop either. Now I'm really confused...any advice? Do I NOT have a CD-RW drive or something? What am I doing wrong?!

You have somehow configured your Mac to automatically open Disk Utility when you insert a blank CD. To change that: Open System Preferences and the CD & DVDs preference pane. Then change the action that occurs when you insert a blank CD.

Please please can some one tell me how do you charge ur ipad with ur laptop. it doesn't chage wen I put use the wire. only charges when I plug the socket in.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

In Beehive you can create wiki pages but how do you ....

Add an image and then put a link under it, in html it's easy you wrap the image in a <a href.... > </a> link but how do you do the same in a wiki page. There was nothing in the documentation for Oracle Beehive that describes the syntax for wiki pages and what you can and can't do.
Any ideas?

It depends which country you are from below is US

Downloaded Mountain Lion and can't open Logic Express,How do you fix?

Wouldn't let me open 9.1.7 upgrade before because I didn't have Mountain Lion, and now I can't open Logic 9.0.0 to put the upgrade on.

Check this site:
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table/tags/_l/index_tags/_l
Shows some problems with Logic Pro 9 in ML (Logic express appears fine).
Just a wild guess: Is the installer of your version a PowerPC App? I have Final Cut Express - it is universal, but the installer is PPC and I can't use it to install. As a workaround, I have a working Snow Leopard partition and copied every file from there onto the same location on ML - it works fine. That assumes you know where all the files are located.

I gifted a playlist, but the recipient is getting an error and can't download it. How do you resend or repair it?

I gave a playlist and the recipient received the email. They upgraded their iTunes to the latest version, clicked on the Redeem Now button in the email and instead of automatically downloading it goes to the iTunes store and the Redeem Gift page. So we believe we found the code to enter, but is offers and error saying the code is not valid/cancelled, but I have been charged for it??
How do we resend the link or validate that the code is correct and functioning?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

My imac spits out the Cd-r and I can't burn a disc

My iMac spits out the CD-R and I can't burn a disc

Hello deneye2112,
Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing. I found some resources that I think might help:
First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Downloaded 8.2 and still can't burn...

I burned a disc right after I downloaded the new version hoping that it finally take of the burn problem. It took forever but it finally spit out a disc. 8 tracks long and it played until track 7 then nothing. track 8 and 1-6 all play so I thought I would try another one. I made a play list and started the burn and it kicked out with a error code 4020 message. That's a new one but not surprising. What really bums me is that I spent a $50 gift card on new music after x-mas and still can't burn any of it.

Are you able to download apps?
If so, have you checked that the Apps tab is selected under preferences in iTunes?

HT3728 I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only. Can this be done and how?

I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only. Can this be done and how?

You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express.

How do you change the amp value of a battery

I am trying to make a voltage regulator for my car.
My car puts out 14v and 500 amp battery.
I can not tell Multisim that I want a 500 amp battery.
How do I change the value?
This is important because I have to make sure I have at least 15amps output. No way to do this so far. Program is worthless.

Shane711,
Most multimeters can only handle ten amps or less, so it is not surprising that yours burned up.
How did you connect the multimeter while trying to measure the battery current? Cars have large, heavy wires connected to the battery because the large currents would destroy smaller wires. Your multimeter does not have connections or wires anywhere near as large as the battery cables. To measure the current you need to disconnect one of the cables and connect the meter in series with the cable. If you attempted to connect the multimeter in parallel with the battery as you would to measure voltage, you shorted the battery through the meter and probably had hundreds of amperes flowing, at least until a fuse blew or some wire burned out.
Your specification for the voltage regulator does not make any sense. A voltage regulator has an output voltage specification - yours is 12 V. It also has an input voltage range specification. You did not specify an input range. The output current is determined by the load via Ohm's Law. The specification includes a maximum current - Is that what you meant by 15 amps? Some regulator circuits also have a minimum output current specification, often a few mA. Optional specifications include tolerances on voltages, power dissipation, transient response characteristics, and so on. The design of the circuit depends on all of these specifications. You will probably not find a single device which operates as a voltage regulator with 12 V output at up to 15 A. A regualtor like that will probably contain one or more power transistors, some ICs, resistors, diodes, capacitors, and inductors.
Any simulator is only as good as the models used. From what Tien P. said in his earlier post, the battery in Multisim is an ideal voltage source. If so, it should easily produce currents of 1000 amperes. Just put a 12 milliohm resistor across the battery. As I said yesterday, you will need to create a battery model circuit which has the characteristics you want in your battery. What do you expect the output voltage to be at the battery terminals when drawing 1000 amps? What should it be with no current drawn? What should it be at 1, 10 , and 100 amps?
