When burning abbreviated songs, does the whole song burn to disc?

I have changed the start times for many of the songs on a playlist, making them shorter ("Options" under "Get Info").
Since the information is still there for the entirety of the song and not just the portion that now plays, if I burn this playlist to a disc, will it burn the whole song or only the portion I have selected?

Ya that is the one "bug" in burning a playlist with songs that have shortened "Start/Stop" times set. While the songs themselves will only burn out with the start/stop times you specified, in the playlist it only shows the total time of all the tracks complete. There isn't any logic built into the application to calculate the ACTUAL play time of the tracks.
So if you had a single track that was 90 minutes long, set the start/stop times to only play 30 minutes of that track, you still couldn't burn it to a CD because iTunes checks the total time (90 minutes) of the playlist before burning the CD and will give you an error.
One work around is to first convert the songs in iTunes to generate the shorter versions then add those to the playlist instead. When you right click on a song, you will see an option to "Convert to XXX" (where XXX will be whatever encoding method your importing preferences are set to (e.g. MP3, AAC, etc.). If you pick this it will create a NEW copy of the track, converted to XXX, and will only be the portion of the track you specified in the Start/Stop times.
So taking the above example of the one 90 minute track with start/stop times set for only 30 minutes of the track, if you convert you will get a new track in iTunes with just that 30 minute segment which can then be added to a playlist and burned to CD.
The downside to this method is when you "Convert" you may be recompressing an already compressed song so you might lose a bit more sound quality. Not an issue if your original is a WAV, AIFF, or Apple lossless format, but if you start with an AAC or MP3 track and then convert it to a new AAC or MP3 track you might get some re-compression degrading of sound.
If some of the songs are on CDs you have at home, you might want to import them again, as AIFF, etc. with the reduced times set. Put the CD in, select the song on the CD you want to import a shortened version of, Get Info, set the Start/Stop times, deselect all the other songs on the CD, then import. Answer no when it asks you if you want to replace the one in your library with this one so it brings in a new version. You might get away with only having to do this with one or two tracks so that your entire playlist will fall under the 80 minutes or so for a CD and leave the rest as is which will burn out to a CD in their shortened form.

My external HD of 1TB is not being recognized by the iMac and when after a long waiting period it does, the whole computer becomes extremely slow. Do I need any particular add-on to make it workable?

My external HD of 1TB is not being recognized by the iMac and when after a long waiting period it does, the whole computer becomes extremely slow. Do I need any particular add-on to make it workable?
Before I updated to OS X Mavericks I was using another external disk that was getting disconnected ocasionally so I bought a new ADATA HD710 portable 1TB Drive and moved the files to it. This new drive which is supposed to be OS X Mavericks compatible takes minutes to show the files especially when opening second and third level folders which has made mu iMac unusable
What should I do?

Your Mac should be able to recognize many different types of drives (including Windows-formatted drives) immediately for Reading, provided they are in good working condition and not damaged. There should be no need to transfer to a different type of drive.
If there is no recognition of this drive, see if it can be seen in Disk Utility.
If your aim is to transfer the data on it DO NOT use ERASE or PARTITION as these will completely erase all the information on the Drive.
If the drive is present while the Mac sleeps, it is likely to drop out and not be seen any longer, especially if it is a USB-powered drive.

Unfortunately if you have downloaded Babylon toolbar this is probably the culprit. to fix this right click on the menu toolbar the the one with the file menu on it and un-check Babylon toolbar. This should fix the problem.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Two part question 1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat?

Two part question
1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo? if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

Take the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

Photo's out order when burned to disc

Hi, my photo's are in numbered order in the library but when burned to disc are all random,
they have been edited from 3 cards and saved as a smart colllection, how can I get them
to burn in order as library shows them !! thanks steve

You use the Export Dialog by clicking on <Export> bottom - left in the Library Module. See Screen shot:
This will open the Export Dialog. The second section from the top is <File Naming>. Click on the small triangle, see screen shot:
And select <Edit> from the list.
This will bring up the <File name Editor> where you can specify various parameters for renaming. i would suggest that you add sequential numbers in front of the file name to preserve the order of images. In the screen shot below I have selected a sequential number that will go from 1 to 10000 plus the existing file name.
Then click <Done> and <OK> and export your images to a location of your choice.
Since you are a newbie to Lr it would be good if you would watch some of the video tutorials on Adobe's website. Lr is a complex program and without the tutorials you will make mistakes and get frustrated. The links for the video tutorials are on the main page of this forum, to the right where it says <getting Started with Lightroom 4>.
Go to this link http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-lightroom-4/ and at the bottom you will find specific tutorials for exporting.

When upgrading iPhoto, why does the upgrading stop on step five?

It stops at (99% complete). I tried force quit but that didn't help and I cut off the computer and restarted. When I open iPhotos again, the ugrading starts again at step one but doesn't not move beyond step five.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

CD boundary when burning 2-disc album

Hello!
I wonder if it's possible to make iTunes respect the disc numbers stored in track metadata, when burning a 2-disc album. It's annoying that iTunes seems to fit as many songs as possible on the first disc. The problem probably also accumulates further in the case of 3 or more discs. I would like each iTunes-made disc to have as many tracks as the original recording.
One solution is to make a separate play list containing only the songs on a particular disc of the multi-disc album, and then burn the playlist. However, I would like to make this automatic.

Strange, that option is working fine here. Has it worked before on the same computer? Have you installed new drivers, or do you need to? The troubleshooting steps here might help. iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

Interlaced? (jagged lines) issue when burning a disc

I uploaded some standard definition DVD-R footage into my 2011 iMac (550gb). To get the DVD-R's vob footage into FCPX for editing, I first transferred the vob's to QT MOV's via MPEG Streamclip. I then imported it into FCPX as is (SD 640x480), then edited and completed my project without any issues or problems in FCPX.
My plan was to burn the finished project back to an standard definition DVD-R. I wanted to try it via four ways. 1) Burn the disc straight from FCPX. 2) Burn the project as an IMG to my hard drive and make the disc later. 3) Export the finished project as an H.264 QT MOV (at 640x480) and then burn the disc via Compressor. 4) Burn the H.264 MOV via Toast.
Here's the big problem: When it was time to either burn the project straight from FCPX to a DVD-R, or take my QT MOV of the same project and burn a disc via Compressor or Toast, the finished DVD-R, when played on a DVD player or in my Mac showed MAJOR interlacing issues (those jagged wiggly lines on people's bodies, especially during camera movement).
So what's strange is, the QT MOV files and the VOB files that I exported to my hard drive from FCPX (before actually making the disc) look and sound perfect. But when I try to burn the actual disc via FCPX, or Compressor, or Toast, the interlacing issues (jagged lines) appear every time. So it's obvious to me that there's something that the disc burning process, itself, doesn't like, or is having issues with. (I tried changing it Progressive and nothing gets rid of those jagged lines.
Any advice or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I did all all that before,
All what…including chaging field order and de-interlacong in Compressor?
Then it's probably not interlacing.
Post a screen shot of a frame before you imported into FCP and another sceen shot shot after exporting.
(Or is you'd prefer, upload a short section to Dropbox so we can see it and test it first hand.)
I used h.264 because there was no alternative.
I don't understand that; if you export as a master file, you should have a whole bunch of codec options.

PE 8 crashes when burning a disc

I have a new HP PC that meets all of the hardware requirements to run PE8. I have successfully developed one 20 minute video
with titles, transisitions and music. I recently used InstantMovie to develop a 2 minute video which includes both stills and video. I used a
song from ITUNES. The problem is I can not burn a disc. PE crashes while encoding media. Looks like it crashes at the same spot every time - 14% Into encoding media.   I tried un-installing and reinstalling PE8. and using a WMA music file instead of a song from Itunes. Nothing seems to work. Thanks for your help.

Good morning. I am thinking I may have had an "AH..HA" moment".
Yesterday I ripped a new music file that was a 48Khz WAV file using Audacity 1.3 Beta (unicode) and GSpot. Then used the "get media' function of PE8 to import in into my project and burn a disc. PE8 hangs at the 14% point no matter what I do.
Today, I deleted the WAV file completely from the project, the organizer and even emptied the trash can, then tried to burn a disc of just the project, without music. PE8 hangs at the 14% point just like before. Can I conclude from this experiment that the problem is not with the musc file, but there is something else going on instead?
Am I correct in locating the assets at the 14% mark. If the project is 3:13 minutes long...14% is acually 28% into the project
(3 * 60 + 12)*.28 = 53.76. So there may be a problem between the 53 and 54 second marker in the project.
I was going to try to select another music file that I have used successfully on a previous project. I realize this is an avoidance technique, but I am running out of options.
The song is from an album produced in 2002. I can't believe the security management for this album would be drastically different from other recordings I have used successfully.

When burning abbreviated songs, does the whole song burn to disc?
