ITunes Only Burns At 8X (Despite Being Set At 16X)

Hi, I recently noticed that whenever I burn a CD with iTunes now, it burns rather slowly even though I have it set to burn at 16x. iTunes doesn't show what speed it's actually burning at but I figured it must be burning at 8x since it now takes about twice the normal amount of time to burn a disc. For example, it just took me approx. 7 min. to burn a CD with 16 tracks (56 min.). I decided to burn the same playlist (with the same CD-R media) using Burrrn with the speed set at 8x and sure enough it took about the same time (7 min.), confirming my suspicion that iTunes is burning at 8x (despite being set to burn at 16x). What would be the cause of this? I've even tried to set it at different speeds like 12x, 24x, etc. but it still seems to burn at 8x. Thanks for any help.

I also forgot to mention that whenever I burn with iTunes now a text file named GEAREXT.WOIDENT shows up on my desktop. This is what it reads (it's obviously information sent by iTunes to the burner):

Why does the newest FF keep me signed in to websites when I log off despite being set to full time "private browsing"? This is a real problem on a shared computer!

Despite being set to full time "Private" mode, this latest version of FF keeps me logged into things like ebay etc.
This has never happened with previous versions and is a real problem.

Are you restoring pages from the previous session if you start Firefox?

ITunes only burns the first two discs of audible book over and over

I have purchased, downloaded, and burned many Audible books in iTunes successfully . . . until now.
NOW I cannot get my current purchased book to burn correctly.
What I do...
I create a playlist for the audiobook.
I drag the audiobook into the playlist.
I right click on the playlist and ask it to burn to disc.
I am told the book will have to be spread across multiple discs.
I click "ok".
The playlist begins to burn to disc.
I am prompted to insert another disc.
I do so.
This goes on and on for what seems like too many discs (normally, an unabridged audio takes about 8-12 discs depending on the length.)
I check the discs in a portable player and discover that the first two discs are fine, but that the third and fourth discs are just repeats of the first two discs.
I check the rest of the discs I have burned (18 at this point) and find that the first two discs are repeated over and over and over again!
What I did to try and resolve the issue:
I checked to see if I had the latest iTunes downloaded. I do.
I emailed Audible and they had me delete all occurences of the audiobook from my system and then re-download a fresh copy. I did.
Tried to reburn the new playlist with the new downloaded audio book.
The same issue occurrs and I waste another 18 discs.
It should be noted that the only reason I only wasted these 18 discs each time and not more is because I finally cancelled the burn.
iTunes was still asking for more discs on disc 18 (and the audio book was only about 10 hours long).
Any help resolving this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

THIS... is precisely why I use Toast.
I know that doesn't help a lot, but I have NEVER been fond of iTunes for burning.

Itunes only burns 40 minutes on an 80min cd?

I'm having trouble getting Itunes to burn a full cd. I make a playlist that is 50-79 minutes long and the cd appears to burn correctly, i.e. no error messages, etc. cd says it's complete. I put it in my cd player and at the 40 minute mark, it just ends and goes back to track 1. I have never had this problems with any other cd in any player, only the ones burned using itunes with songs only purchased through the itunes store. anyone else having this problem? is there something i need to change the settings on? PLEASE REPLY! I've wasted far too many cd's to continue on like this. the interactive faq and troubleshooting has nothing on this.

iTunes tends to be more picky on windows than other programs that burn CDs on a PC. The 3 main fixes for any iTunes burning issues/problems are
1) Updating the CD burners firmware and the PCs chipsets, BIOS ect ect, basicly any updates/patches offered on the PC makers web site for your model.
2) Slowing the burn speed in iTunes by going to edit>preferences>advanced tab>burning sub tab. Usually slowing it from "Max" to a speed like 8x or 4x does the trick
3) Using a different brand of blank CDs. Not all blank CD's are make from the same material, and not all burners read them the same.
Another thing you can do is goto Help>run CD Diagnostic and copy/paste the whole resulting report here so we can see what error if any your getting and overlook your setup for anything wrong

ITunes Only Burns First Few Tracks....

When trying to burn a CD on iTunes it will only burn the first few songs onto the CD.
I have tried different blank CD's and have no problem burning CD's when using Windows Media Player.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Awesomebar suggests bookmarks despite being set to display only history

Running Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows 7
I currently have Firefox set to only display History in the location bar - however it continues to show bookmarked pages (which I have not visited). I have attempted clearing all history/cache/etc and closed Firefox (making sure that the process was killed) - yet the bookmarked pages are still suggested in the location bar.
I have checked in about:config
browser.urlbar.default.behavior is set to 1 (which is the appropriate setting for only showing history).
Please help~

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

IPhone 4S time and date keeps resetting, despite being set to automatically do so.

After having recently upgraded my iOS to 7.0.4, my Verizon iPhone 4S has started to re-set the time and date every now and then at random. It does this, despite me having my Settings set to automatically set the date and time based on my location. I have called Verizon about this and all they had me do was to reset my network connections and reset my roaming capabilities...and despite me doing that this morning, the time re-set itself again this afternoon. I have found the only solution has been for me to power off my phone completely and then once on again, set the phone either into Airplane mode for a second - or to just wait until the Verizon signal switches the phone back to being the correct time and date on its own. I have also found that these issues have started to affect my ability to send and receive iMessages, as well. For some reason, when the date/time re-sets, the iMessage option becomes un-selected and I have to manually go back and turn that functionality back on. Anyone else having these same issues? It's incredibly frustrating and I'm not sure what else I can do save for constantly hard, re-starting my iPhone everytime I notice the time and date is out of whack. Also it's hard for me to tell if this is an Apple hardware issue/bug that just needs to be fixed - or something to do with Verizon. Any tips/info would be appreciated.

Try setting your time to manual. This way, the iPhone is the one controlling the time. As you correctly understand, when it is on auto, it is controlled by Verizon and their individual towers. If after setting the time to manual it works, then I would say it isn't a phone issue, but a Verizon one. Do you frequent the same area when this occurs? It could very well be an issue with a particular tower in your area and Verizon would need to check that. If the time goes off again while on manual, then it could be the phone. User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Try each in order until the problem is fixed. If it cannot be, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the phone looked at for hardware issues.

ITunes only gives me the option of setting up as a new phone, or from backup?

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my new iPhone 6 Plus and connecting it to iTunes.
To cut a long story short; I received a brand new, sim free iPhone 6 Plus for Christmas, upgrading from my old 4s. I backed up the 4s to iTunes on my PC (not iCloud) before resetting the phone ready for sale. When I came to setup the new 6 Plus on Christmas day, I connected it to my iTunes and instructed it to setup the phone from the backup from the 4s, but unfortunately I received an error message stating that the backup file was corrupt (I've no idea why), and so it could not complete the setup.
I ended up setting the phone up as a new phone, although I did this on the phone itself, and not through iTunes, and re-entered the contacts and re-installed all apps manually.
I didn't think much else about it, as I'd now got the phone exactly as I wanted it. I've just tried to connect the phone to my iTunes on my PC.. it recognises the phone, but only gives my two options; one is to set the phone up as a new phone, the other is to set it up from a backup. Well I don't actually want to do either of those as I've already set the phone up manually, and so I was just wondering if anyone could please tell me what I should do next, so that I can get iTunes to bypass the setup phase?
I basically just want to make a backup of my new 6 Plus with its current apps and contacts and all will be fine.
Any advice would be very much appreciated
Thank you

Choose backup. The device will restore your backup from iTunes or iCloud and the phone will have the same settings as the old phone

How do you make Mozilla listen to users and stop FFFFirefox Auto Updating despite being set to NOT auto update?

I am spitting nails
After all the STUPID problems outlined here
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999831?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
I set Firefox to stop auto updating,
Then the other day I installed a new user on my laptop, when they loaded Firefox it auto updated MY version of Firefox.
Has NOTHING been learnt?
STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID
So I have 2 questions
How do you make Mozilla listen to users?
and how do prevent what happened to me happening again?

SuperSluether
Not a millionth, you have only provided 150 answers and I doubt they were all this issue.
If you don't like it, don't use it.
If a business took this attitude they would soon be out of business
Updates help KEEP YOU SAFE
Sometimes, but in my experience FFirefox updates can really screw up your system, lose you data, mess up your user interface. I have run IT for one of the biggest intranets on the planet and we never allowed even Mictosoft updates until we did User Acceptance Testing and understood the impact of the upgrade. I am a grown up not a child, I have system where I test updates for performance, security and impact, I WILL DECIDE when I want to install it. If Mozilla wants to provide real security updates I would take them but if you look at the link in my OP you will see it said an update was security and it completely messed up.
Updates add tons of great new features
Actually with FFirefox in my experience they take more away than they add, things I did not ask them to take, they do not look at my config and leave my settings as they were and then tell me about new options, no they completely screw my productivity as it takes days to figure out how to undo the kwap they have added. Copying the AWFUL Chrome interface is not an improvement, Google has one of the worst UI's on the planet accross all their products.
Firefox is designed to be customized PER USER, NOT CROSS-SYSTEM
There are some things that benefit from being per user and some that are per machine, windows has group policies per machine and per user. My OP is telling Mozilla that this is another area where they have "designed" badly, I tell them this so that they improve it and in the vain hope that there is some config setting that will stop this nonsense.
So SuperSluether you have not really helped, all you seem to say is FO if you do not like it. Good job you do not run a business. With that attitude probably best you do not contribute.

Despite being set to 'enabled', Z68Intel SpeedStep not working with overclock.

Here is a screenshot of my modest 24/7 overclock on my Z68A GD80 (G3) mobo:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/87/cpuzcpu.png/
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/580/cpuzrams.png/
Problem is, that the screenshot was taken when system was idling, yet the mobo has not recognised that my system is idling and therefore I am merely wasting energy by sitting with my CPU at 4.6Ghz. I o/cd my previous CPU (which I have had for 4 years) by more than 30% of its default clock yet the mobo still recognised when the 4Ghz was not required and underclocked it to 2.6Ghz (by reducing multiplier).
I am hoping that there is some setting that I have overlooked (which has been the case a few times already for problems I have had with this mobo), but I can state, that in the bios setting, 'Speed Step' is set to enabled.

Quote from: Bernhard on 24-October-11, 02:32:05
With Sandy Bridge things changed slightly.
Manually change your base multi and /or your VCore and they will stay there.
This is being moved to the OC section.
The trick is to leave your "Adjust CPU Ratio" at 33 or 34 depending on the CPU used. Then open up your last item in the OC section (CPU Features), and then adjust the 1/2/3/4-Core Ratio Limit.
Most of these boards will clock in Auto to at least X43-X45 when all is left on Auto. Just disable EuP2013 and Spread Spectrum.
Thanks for the tip! I tried using the method of leaving everything on auto, and adjusting the CPU core ratios in the section of the bios you mention above. However, since my PC couldn't even post using this method with x42 (4200MHz intended oc) set across all four chips, let alone 43-45. I would have taken a slighlty lower overclock than my 4.6 Ghz in exchange for the power saving functionality but not if it meant losing 500-600 Mhz (and possibly even more) of CPU horsepower.
But this is a pretty bloody annoying change on Intel's part....
......overclock and lose the built in power saving feature!?
I mean ?

Firefox 15.1 storing Downloads in Temp folder despite being set to save into Downloads?

OK so I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit and Mozilla Firefox 15.1
Downloads is set to save to "Downloads" but, they are in fact saving to a firefox temp folder?
checked the about:config and browser.download = C:\...\Downloads
I read an answer on here that said "Disable Real Time AV Scanning??? are you serious? all those hackers out there and you want me to turn off my AV?
Please can you provide a suitable answer to this query.

If the anti-virus software is scanning the file while it is still in the temp folder and keeps an handle on it then Firefox won't be able to move the file from the temp folder to the destination folder. 
Your AV software should still scan the file if you try to start it or open the file in another application if real-time scanning is disabled. 
You can also try to exclude the temp folder, so the scanning will be done once Firefox moves the file to the destination folder and not during the download phase.

DAQ collecting finite samples despite being set to continuous acquisition mode

Hello,
I've created a vi which reads data from one channel on my USB 6225 OEM device, displays the data to a chart, and writes the data to a .csv file using the write to spreadsheet file vi. The DAQ acquisition mode is set to Continuous Samples; however it behaves as if it were set to N Samples, as the number of data points written to my .csv file is equal to the number specified in the Samples to Read input.
I replaced the DAQmx Assistant vi with the Simulate Signal vi and observed the same behavior. Why does this happen?
Attached below is my vi.
Attachments:
chart time.vi ‏78 KB

When the acquisition mode is set to continuous samples, the samples to read input becomes the buffer size -- not the number of samples read. I expect the DAQ to collect samples until I stop the vi. This is the behavior I have always seen in the past, so don't know why it is any different this time.

Firefox does not open to my homepage despite being set to do so.

Tried setting it to open home page from tools and also checked add-ons (tried disabling them all). Also have tried about:config to set open to home page to "true."
