Is Leopard Finder burning broken?

I've tried burning 2 dual-layer DVD-Rs and a CD-R so far from Leopard's Finder on my Mac Pro, and every single one has failed to verify the disc after burning. I'm fairly certain the data has burned properly, but since these are archives of files I intend to delete from disk, I'd like to be sure. Discs burned from Toast have no such problem, but I like burning from Finder when possible.
Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution?

Open the Contextual Menu Items folder inside the Library folder on your hard disk and drag the items inside this folder to the desktop; if the issue persists, do the same thing with the Contextual Menu Items folder inside your home folder's Library folder. Your home folder is the folder in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon.
Mac OS X does not install any items in either of these two folders.

Finder Zoom Broken?

I've got 10.4.4 installed on a PMG5 Dual Core and the zoom feature in the Finder seems broken. When I click on the zoom button the first time, the window properly shrinks or expands to fit the content and the second click appropriately sizes the window back to what it was originally. But that seems to be the end of it. After that, no matter how much content is added to the window, all subsequent zooms only cycle between the first two sizes (the first time it was zoomed and the original window size). This behavior is incorrect.
Also, I've got an AppleScript that preps Finder window views to my liking, which includes setting the zoomed property to true. This no longer works. I get the error: "Finder got an error: Can't continue ."
Any clues or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Once you know an issue is user specific you need to narrow down what is causing the issue in your user.
The first place to check is in the Library
Open the Library and locate your Preferences folder.
Pull it out to the desktop.
Log out of your user and back in. Don't be alarmed the Preferences folder contains any preference settings you have set up and you can get them back by putting back the folder. We are just isolating whether the issue is in your preferences.
Open an app or 2 to test the apple tab. Is the finder icon displaying properly now?
If so then you know that the issue is with a preference in the folder.
Quit the applications and open the Library again. The system created a new set of default preferences and a new folder. Move that folder to the trash and drag back in the Preferences folder you had dragged to the desktop.
Log out and back in and all your preferences will be reestablished.
You now know the issue is with one of the files in that folder so you need to isolate the file. You can do that by removing them in groups then logging out and back in and seeing if it was one of the group.
Personally I usually remove the entire folder and put back my com.apple.mail.plist and my ichat plist. I can open my applications folder and drag an application icon or 2 back into the dock. My application preferences get set up whenever use the applications. I found it easier than isolating the corrupt plist. Sometimes it is a combination of plists and that is hard to isolate.

Snow Leopard iChat Fundamentally Broken

The situation. We have family in Minnesota (MacBook, hardwired 1.5Mbps), Missouri (iMac, hardwired 1.5Mbps), and Illinois (MacBook, wireless 10 Mbps). Since Christmas we have been ichatting with very few if any problems. All computers were Leopard.
The computers in Missouri and Illinois have been updated to Snow Leopard. Now all connections are essentially unusable. Audio just quits. Picture pixelates. Can't connect sometimes. The problems do not matter if the connection is one to one both Snow Leopard, three way with the one Leopard, or Snow Leopard to Leopard. Even when connection is established and working it degrades or just quits working.
We have tried all of the suggestions in the forums. Limited the ichat bandwidth to 500kbps (and we tried all the others settings also). Playing with Quicktime on the Leopard system. Etc.
It seems to us that iChat in Snow Leopard is fundamentally broken. At no time have we seen better video even with Snow Leopard to Snow Leopard.
Has anyone successfully and reliability used Snow Leopard's iChat to anything else?

Hi,
I also can Video Chat from Snow to Leopard and Screen Share between the two.
Only on Friday evening I was chatting via Video to someone in Lesotho (South Africa) despite their appalling Internet speed.
I have iChat set to not Limit the bandwidth.
My G4 computer still on iChat 4 can also connect to Snow Leopard/iChat users.
I use UPnP in my Sagem 2405 Modem.
iChat 5 reports in the Connection Doctor > Network Status that this device is Port Restricted in the way it does NAT (iChat prefers Full Cone NAT according to iChat Help and the ? mark in Network Status)
We have known for a long time (Since iChat 2) that some routing devices can cause NAT issues for iChat
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page15.html#CertainBuddy
This can be further complicated if you are using two Connection Devices.
I am not saying that the transition was entirely smooth.
I had a few issue at first.
iChat 4 to iChat 5 seemed to work better at first.
Changing the Bandwidth to 500kbps seemed to be a step forward.
I have turned the Mac Firewall On then Off then On and finally Off.
It did seem that I got more success each time.
Although impossible it did seem as if iChat was learning how to do things again.
Currently I am Logged in to AIM on Port 443 with no SSL login.
My GoogleTalk ID is using SSL but other Jabber IDs are not.
Bandwidth, as I have said, is at NONE.
Firewall is currently Off.
Things I also looked at:-
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing Mine is Off but some say having it On now helps.
System Preferences > Date and Time had to change to my Time Zone which seemed to help (iChat does time code messages/Chats)
Repaired Permissions. Always a good coverall action.

Spotlight feature in my Finder got broken?

As I'm new on this forum hello to everybody!
So my problem is that Spotlight in Finder got broken.
Before when I was clearing up the search box with Backspace for example, the finder window was returning to his previous state (colum view or list view). (or it was in my dreams??)
Now it's get stuck in the spotlight view and sometimes keeps searching with nothing in the search box.
I've zapped both finder and sidebar .plists and problem still persists.
Created a test account, cleaned system and apps caches, reinstalled last combo (10.4.8) problem persists on both accounts.
I found it out after Finder crashed when I shutted down my other computer to which iMac was connected via wifi.
My system: iMacG5 10.4.8
Any hint for ? I figured it out today and its very-very annoing. And if it is possible to fix without fresh reinstall...
iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the focus doesn't jump from viewwindow to sidebar.
That's normal. What about the plist? Navigate to ~(Home)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist and delete that file. Then log out and back in or restart.
EDIT: Yes, post the crash log. Perhaps someone will be able to read the tea leaves. Try to leave out repeating log messages if possible.

How to find/remove broken symlinks in Snow Leopard?

Long story, but I need to check my system for broken symlinks and aliases and, if there are any, remove them. Is there a way to do that in the Terminal? If so, what are the exact commands? Obviously, I would like to know what they are, if any, before I issue any commands to delete them, so I would prefer a two-step process, if possible.

Works fine for me. 10.6.3.

10.5.2 Update fixes Leopard DVD burning issues!

I'd been having problems burning dvd's in leopard ever since i installed it, always had that "Power Calibration Error". I was able to burn discs in Bootcamp, so it was kinda obvious that the problem was in OS X. I've just completed installing 10.5.2 full update (341 MB) from Apple's website and I'm happy to say Apple has responded pretty well. I've burnt 5 Single Layer DVD's successfully. I have no dual layer ones lying around, so I'm not too sure about them.

Call AppleCare and see if they can help.
Regular trouble shooting
1) Create a new account, name it test or something
2) log into that account to see if the behavior changes
3) If it does, then there is some problem in your own account.
4) If it doesn't, restart.
5) If the behavior still doesn't change, there is some system configuration error
In this case
6) Open Disk Utility. Verify your disk, then repair permissions (not likely to fix the problem but will at least eliminate that possibilty)
7) Get a copy of Leopard Cache Cleaner and do a MODERATE cache cleaning
8) Restart
If still not fixed, reset PRAM and the SMU. Look on the Apple web site for instructions for your particular computer.
If still not different, do an Archive and Install. However go to the Apple web site and download the 10.5.2 Combo updater first. After you Archive and Install from either the disk that came with your computer (assuming that it is Leopard) or the retail Leopard installer. Then run the combo updater. Then run Software Update.
These problems are disturbing and really shouldn't happen, but they do. However, they can be fixed and you'll find that Mac OS is, overall, much better than the alternatives.
BTW, I just went through this whole mess for crashes on wake from sleep (USB issues) and failure to sleep (printer driver issue). Another computer had DHCP problems and actually needed a reinstall. However both of them are working fine now even though it was a pain getting there.

After Leopard upgrade burning DVD stalls at Finishing process.

Even if i burn a really small file to a DVD it hangs for like 10-15 mins after writing the data at the finishing process. I also noticed that if I look at the dvd after it finally finishes, it looks at though way more data has been burnt. This never happened in tiger only after I upgraded to Leopard.
I also don't see the burn disc option when right clicking on a disc, did apple take this out???
Anyone else have this problem? Or an idea of how to fix it?
thanks!

I just had my broken Superdrive replaced. It now takes about 5 minutes to finish... it seems like a long time to me. I'd be interested in any ideas about what is normal also.

CD burning broken, no useful errors [SOLVED]

Hey guys. This is pretty frustrating.
I'm trying to burn a simple audio CD. I've tried Recorder, Graveman, Brasero, and K3B. I've tried three different discs (2 different brands).
Up until this CD, I've successfully made many audio CD's using Graveman, although neither Recorder nor PyBurn worked in the past.
- Recorder doesn't show a single error. It just sits and shows a blank window until I close it. When run from the terminal, I receive a file-not-found error.
- K3B, which apparently has to be run from /opt/kde/bin/k3b on my Openbox setup, says it can't find the growisofs executable, even though it exists in /usr/bin/.
- Graveman says Operation Failed and nothing else, even when run from the terminal.
- Brasero is the only one to give a marginally useful error, "No space left on resource," which is not true, since all of the discs I've used are blank.
dvd+rw-tools is up-to-date, and I just ran a full system upgrade. My user is a part of the optical group. As I said, I've been able to make many CD's in the past. Just now, I booted into Vista, and was able to burn a CD there, so my drive isn't broken. To my knowledge, nothing very significant has happened to my system in the recent past that would affect this. Does anyone have an ideas?
EDIT: Here's something interesting. Writing data works fine with Graveman. I burned an essay on to disc, mounted it with mount /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/disc, and accessed the file with no problems. It's just audio that's broken...
EDIT2: It appears that xfburn works! Only xfburn, but it's better than nothing. I think that maybe it has to do with xfburn using gstreamer, but I'm not sure.
SOLVED: I realized that when it said No space left on device, it wasn't talking about the disc - it was talking about my root partition! Maybe as the program transcoded the MP3's in WAV's, it saved them temporarily to /tmp or /var/tmp or something, but there was only a few megabytes available. I've enlarged my root partition and everything is shipshape now.

How do I tweak Snow Leopard (Finder & Safari) to make it behave more like Tiger?

I've recently upgraded to a Mac Pro 4,1 from a Power Mac G4, and to Mac OS X 10.6.8 from 10.4.11 in the process.
There are a few little ways in which Snow Leopard behaves differently to Tiger, and I'm wondering if (for each item on the list below) anyone has any suggestions on how I can make things behave as I'd like, rather than as they do.
While I'm at it, I've included a couple of things that never behaved as I'd like in Tiger either, but which may also be alterable.
I'd prefer, if possible, solutions that result from simple changes in settings, or perhaps "sudo" commands entered into Terminal, rather than having to install third party software.
Also, I'd appreciate those that choose to reply refrain from suggesting I upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. These aren't options I can consider at the moment.
1. In the Finder, clicking Go -> Recent Folders gives the 10 most recently opened folders. Is there a way to change this number?
There isn't an option to do this in the "Appearance" preference pane, where "Number of recent items" can be set for "Applications", "Documents" and "Servers". There's also no option to alter the number of "Recent Folders" in any other preference pane that I can see. I've posted a similar list of questions over at the Macrumors forums, where the one reply I've had so far suggested I use the "General" preference pane, however I don't have one of these. I think "General" was possibly a pane in a much earlier version of Mac OS X?
2. In the Finder, folders on the desktop often don't deselect the way they always did in Tiger. For example, if I double click a folder to open it, the folder's icon highlights. The folder often doesn't deselect / unhighlight though when I then click on the desktop or elsewhere. It often takes 2 or 3 additional clicks for the icon to deselect. Is this a known bug, and can it be fixed? The reply in the Macrumors forum says "It's a known bug, it's even worse in Mountain Lion.".
3. In the Finder, under Preferences, I have "Always open folders in a new window" checked, as I prefer. Often though, I like to hold down the "alt" key when double clicking on a folder to open it, so that the enclosing folder closes at the same time as the folder I'm double clicking on opens, thereby overriding the preference I've set.
In Tiger, the newly opening folder would always open at its previously set size & position. In Snow Leopard though, using the "alt" key causes the newly opening folder to open at the size & position of its enclosing folder instead, not at its previously set size & position.
Worse, the folder then seems to "remember" this incorrect size & position which it takes from its enclosing folder, wiping out its previous (correct) size & position. Is there any way to make things behave like they did in Tiger?
The reply in the Macrumors forum suggested I try "alt - command", but this makes things behave identically to "alt" on its own, as does using "command" on its own.
Only when I don't use any modifier key does the opening window open at its correct size & position, but then without any modifier, the enclosing window remains open (as per my Finder preference selection), and its this preference that I often want to override, but with the newly opening window's correct size & position being maintained.
4. In Safari (version 4.1.3) under Tiger, the "Command-`" keyboard shortcut (that's Command and the key to the left of the "z" key) cycles through each open Safari window in turn, before returning to the original window.
However in Safari (version 5.1.7) on Snow Leopard, this keyboard shortcut seems to work very erratically. For example if I have, say, 8 windows open, the shortcut might only rotate through the 2 or 3 frontmost windows over & over again, rather than through all 8 in order. It might take 5 or 6 cycles of attempts before the rest of the windows appear at the front of the stack. This fault seems to be intermittent though. Is this a known bug, and can it be fixed?
5. When I press "Command-f" in the Finder, a search window opens. I'm having 2 problems with the search window.
Firstly, directly below the field where the search term is to be typed, is the word "Search:" with a row of only 2 buttons to the right. The first is labelled "This Mac" and the second is labelled with the name of the folder that I have set the "New Finder windows open:" preference to in Finder Preferences.
I can't find any way of adding any further locations to this row of only 2 buttons. For example, "Macintosh HD" is in my sidebar, but I can't drag it to the row of buttons to create a new "Macintosh HD" button, nor can I find any other way to make the search only look in specific places (such as only on the "Macintosh HD" disk). I'm stuck with either "This Mac" or with the folder that I've set the "New Finder windows open:" preference to.
How can I select where I want a search to take place? I could do this in Tiger with a couple of mouse clicks.
Secondly, to the right of the 2 search location buttons is a small vertical bar, and then 2 further buttons, labelled "Contents" and "File Name". The "Contents" button is always selected by default. How can I make the "File Name" button the default rather than the "Contents" button?
Many thanks in advance for any input anyone has.

AFAIK, there's no default setting to change that. Take a look at defaults for Finder.

AFAIK, that's normal behavior. The folder opens and gets focus. To return to the Desktop requires a click to gain focus and the click the Desktop to deselect anything previously selected.
3. In the Finder, under Preferences, I have "Always open folders in a new window" checked, as I prefer. Often though, I like to hold down the "alt" key when double clicking on a folder to open it, so that the enclosing folder closes at the same time as the folder I'm double clicking on opens, thereby overriding the preference I've set.
Still works that way here in SL.

Nope. You're in the minority, so Apple changed it, since more wanted it that way than the old Tiger way.
4. In Safari (version 4.1.3) under Tiger, the "Command-`" keyboard shortcut (that's Command and the key to the left of the "z" key) cycles through each open Safari window in turn, before returning to the original window.
Can't help, since I normally only use one window and many tabs. Also, I don't see that shortcut. Enable the Debug menu option and peruse Debug->Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts.

Not possible. Apple's crippled Spotlight as it's brought the OSs forward. Best is to start your search in the folder you want to search. See Snow Leopard's wrong changes, for starters.
Secondly, to the right of the 2 search location buttons is a small vertical bar, and then 2 further buttons, labelled "Contents" and "File Name". The "Contents" button is always selected by default. How can I make the "File Name" button the default rather than the "Contents" button?
Use CMD+SHIFT+F. Ultimately, I strongly suggest creating a savedSearch with your desired criteria and use it, bypassing CMD+spacebar and CMD+F. This is what I use:

Snow Leopard finder doesn't list all files on Windows 7 volumes

From my Macbook Pro (10.6.8), I can connect to my Mac Pro, while it is running Windows 7 in Boot Camp, in order to access the Mac Pro's 6 volumes (1 Boot Camp, 5 Mac volumes). This is using SMB via Finder's 'Connect to server…' on an Airport network.
However, Finder never displays all the files and folders on any of the Mac volumes it connects to through Windows 7. It seems to show approximately the first 18-9 files and folders, and then nothing. The same applies when I open a nested folder — it doesn't list all of its contents.
Any ideas as to what's causing this and how I can fix it? I have searched all over but can't find any answers yet, so I'm hoping someone here has seen this before.

Thanks for the reply, but I do have the Restore Windows box checked (see below). And the Resume features info (cnet link) only addresses how to turn the feature off, either selectively or globally. I'm simply looking for the functionality that I had with Snow Leopard and now seems to be absent. Maybe it's a bug in my Finder.

Snow Leopard Finder's Get Info fails to show Owner and Group for some files or folders which reside on a Shared Volume, hosted by G5 Server w/ OS 10.4 - why?

Frustrations with file permissions abound, as certain co workers are unable to manually determine their level of permission or who to ask to make changes to files and folders belonging to others. Users of Snow Leopard desktop OS get unhelpful feedback via Finder's Get Info, seeing only the permissions listed for "Everyone" and a statement that "You have custom access". The custom message exists, presumably, because ACL's are employed on the shared volume in an attempt to give managerial control over these volumes to specific users, even if all users can create files and folders on those volumes.
Shared volumes are partitions of an external RAID which are set up as sharepoints on a G5 tower running Server 10.4. Other persons in the office, using machines that are running desktop OS 10.5, can correctly see the assigned Owner and Group permissions (although the "custom access" still shows). This at least lets the 10.5 user know who created a given file or folder, so that they can resolve permissions-restricted issues if they come up (i.e. User A wants to delete file X, but as it was created by User B, A must contact B and have them delete it. In 10.6 it appears that A cannot determine who B is).
I know that ACL's are functioning (enabled on the drive) since we have been making use of ACL-granted write privileges for quite a while (and the custom access seems to be evidence too).
An error I encountered, pertaining to this, is that I used a 10.6 machine to create a working folder, then generated and saved several files in this location. Expected permissions thus would be Owner = me (i.e. the user I was logged in as), R/W, Group = staff, R only, Everyone = R only. However, immediately the permissions shown in Finder / Get Info consisted only of Everyone = R only, with no entry for Owner or Group. Moreover, clicking + to add either an Owner or a Group resulted in error message that I had entered an invalid user or group, even though I typed in correct info (such as trying to add "staff" as a group).

Installed new burner-can't find burner

Installed new burner and updated Itunes in past 2 weeks. Today noticed that I can't burn. Itunes still shows my old burner (liteon) and not my new burner (Benq). Uninstalled itunes, reinstalled after restart it still shows up in itunes as a liteon and it will not find the new Benq.
Tried to add Benq to Cfg. file as noted in other areas but still not help.
Any suggestion or where else do we go for help?

Organizing & Titling Photos for CD/DVD Finder Burn

I want to provide PC friends with my individual photos. They are now organized within my iPhoto albums manually, to make a better presentation (i.e.not strictly chronologically), and each jpg is titled individually (like the name of a particular statue).
I need to Export & burn from the Finder, which I realize allows me to organize each file/album like this, but only if I preference that each photo will have the same name as its container album (Statues I Love) - in which case it numbers each photo after that title - e.g.Statues I Love.001, (etc.). But then each individual title is unknown to the viewer.
Is there a workaround or an additional helper program for me (iPhoto 6.06) that will allow me to pre-pend numbers to the individual titles of my photos? I was hoping that Graphic Converter or another would be useful.
iMac 2 GHz intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, export the photos, then drag the folders with the exported images into a burn folder. Then you get a data CD or DVD with just the images, organized in plain folders. You can easily access these images with your favorite tool or application.
If you use the "Burn" feature in iPhoto, you are creating a new iPhoto library with just the selected images. It it really meant only for use with iPhoto, and carries not only the images, but also your comments, albums, keywords, ratings, etc. It is not that useful for transfering images into another application, because the images files are not laid out nicely in plain folders.

After Installing Leopard Finder Crashes directly after Login

Hi,
i Installed Leopard on my MacBook Core 2 Dual. After install the Macbook worked fine for a while (ca. 30 Minutes) then it crashed and asked me to reboot by pressing the power on key a while. But after restart and login it crashes again, and again, and again.
So i tried booting in save mode ... (pressing shift while boot) ... now i can login, but what now?
I started to look around in the system and step by step deinstall every app that may interfere with leopard. But no success up to now. Each time i boot normally it crashes again.
Does anybody else had the same problem ?
And maybe found what's causing this problem.
Thanks in advance.

OK, its coming up now ...
deinstalled:
VMWare Fusion
NDAS Driver
Little Snitch 2.0 beta 10
3D Desktop Aquarium ScreenSaver
collection of plasq Screensavers
ToasterClone Screensaver
Parallels Extensions from StartupItems Folder
not an idea at the moment which of them was the bad guy,
but i will find out
@Sebastian try disabling those above if you have installed ones of them an come back posting if that helped

Is Leopard Finder burning broken?
