Won't let me burn more than 90mb to a cd???

Yesterday something odd happened, I went to write a CD with my mac mini internal writer. All of a sudden it won't let me put more than 90mb onto a cd.
We had changed the make of cd's we use so I thought it may be that, I found on old cd (that already had a small session written to it) and tried that. Again it said I could only put 90mb onto the cd... BUT it actually let me write 200+mb onto it. The blank Cd's won't let me do that, they say not enough room etc.
Anyone have any ideas????
I'm using toast 7, on system 10.3.9.
The cd's i'm using are Imation CD-R 800mb Multispeed (overburning)
The old ones were Imation CD-R 700mb 52x

I wouldn't be surprised if 800MB CD's don't work. I I'm correct, your drive only supports 700MB's (unless you've upgraded it with a SuperDrive. Anyway, the Imation CD-R's should work 52x should work.
Things to try
1) Go to homefolder >> Library >> Preferences. Now trash the file called "com.roxio.toast.plist. Try burning with Toast now. If it does work, you had a corrupted preference file and now the problem is solved. If it still doesn't work, proceed to step 2.
2) Instead of using Toast, use the Finder Burn option. Insert your CD-R into your drive. It'll ask you for a name, name it something and click OK. Now you should see a CD-R icon on the desktop. Drag whatever files that you wanted to burn onto the CD. Now double-click on the CD to open it. You should see all the files that you dragged onto the CD. Now, go File >> Burn Disc. It will start burning. If it works, your Toast program is corrupted, reinstall it. If it still doesn't work, repeat step 1 and proceed to step 3.
3) Use a CD/DVD Drive Lens cleaner. Costs about $10 CAN. Use the drive cleaner and try burning with Toast. If it works now, then you had a dirty lens and now it's solved. If it still doesn't work, repeat steps 1 and 2 and proceed to step 4.
4) Try different discs. Try using Maxell 700MB/80min CD-R's they work with absolutely every mac. They cost around $18 CAN for a pack of 10 w/ jewel cases. Now try burning with Toast. If it worked, your problem was bad CD's, keep using Maxell. If it didn't work, repeat steps 1, 2 , and 3. After all that, if it still doesn't work, post back for more solutions.

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

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" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

I have downloaded a film but now I'm trying to watch it and it won't let me watch more than 34 seconds of it, what do I do?

I have rented "The Other Boleyn Girl" to do a movie review for a history assignment, as I have gone to watch the film it stops at 34 seconds! I ahve the latest version of iTunes but I don't know what to do, please help!!

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I have a user profile that many people use, it won't let me open more than 1 session

I have a user account for one classroom, 10 people use that account and then try to run firefox, the first person can get onto firefox but the other 9 have to close out until it is available.
Help, how do I workaround.

Firefox profiles are not meant to be shared in real time.
You could use the profile manager to make copies of the profile and have each person use their own copy. This would take a few minutes to set up the first time.
Is everyone running Firefox on a single machine in a single Windows XP profile? To start up an independent instance of Firefox into the profile manager, edit the Firefox shortcut command line to this:
<br>firefox.exe -no-remote -ProfileManager
Any luck?
(It's going to get confusing which session belongs to which person, so maybe they should each get a different theme? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/ )

Why am I unable to open multiple tabs in the browser? It all of a sudden refused to let me open more than one at a time.

While on the internet, I tried to open two tabs, but it won't open any more for me. I tried right clicking and opening that way, but it won't let me. I removed Mozilla Firefox from my computer and re-downloaded it, but it still won't let me open more than one tab. It's happened to two of my computers now, and nothing works for either one except opening in safe mode every time.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Why won't Garage band let you open more than one project a time..

Why won't Garageband let you open more than one project a time???? If thats the way its is set up...that is really lame. Even the worst audio programs allow you to run a few projects at a time.
I recorded a gig the other night... then I dumped the whole set on to one track. When I wanted to copy and paste individual songs into their own project it made me close the current project. Is there a way around this???
Joe

Heh, heh. Yes, this is true. Alas... BUT, if you want to compare one project with another, it can be done.
There is another advantage to making another copy of GarageBand. I created a copy and call it "GarageSymphony" that contains all my instrument specific icons for orchestral packs. This way I do not mess up the GarageBand application.
I would not be surprised to find multiple windows become available in GB4. I was more than pleased to find this change in iMovie 6.

ITunes Won't Burn More Than One CD at a time...

(I am sorry if this is in the incorrect forum)
When I attempt to burn more than one CD (one right after the other) using iTunes I get an error message stating that the computer cannot calibrate enough laser power...and it spits the CD out. If I wait a few hours/restart it works again— anyone know if this is just an iTunes problem?
Thanks,
Krista

Maybe I misunderstood your post, but this sounds like a suggestion rather than a problem.
You can provide iTunes feedback here:

If your post was a question, post back and I'll see if I can help.
I hope this solves your problem!

Just upgraded to 9.4, safari will not let me keep more than 3 windows open, if i try to open 4th, one goes away

Safari will not let me keep more than 3 windows open, when I try to open 4th, one goes away, just installed 9.4 last week, nothing but problems

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

I made an imovie project that's over 2 hours so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do?

I made an iMovie project that's over 2 hours long so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do now?

Would I need to switch the disk in the middle of it burning so it can burn the other side
No, you do not flip over the disk. The dual-layers are both on the same side of the disk. You can't see them, they are just there, and iDVD will do what is necessary if it needs to burn both layers.
You would only flip over a disk if it were a "double-sided" disk. That's an entirely different kind of disk and it has only one layer on each side. Those are much older kinds of disks that were used commercially before the advent of dual-layer disks. I don't know anyone who uses them any more.

Encore can't burn more than one DVD at a time: Sense Code 56400

For a long time now I've been unable to burn multiple DVD's at a time. I burn more than one and I get an error and have to make a coaster out of yet another DVD
I just upgraded to 24 gb of DDR3 PC 1600 RAM, I have an 6 Core Processor, I have 7.8 on everything accept my hard drive which is 7.0 out of 7.9 according to my Windows 7 Pro. 64 bit system.
I have 2 different DVD burners, one is a blu-ray burner too. I have the same issues, only different error readings it seems, on both drives. The first drive didn't burn even one for some reason so I tried the second. The second drive would burned 3 and on the fourth I got the errors' which I've included screen shots of below. I was surprised I got through three before I got to this error. By the end of the week I have a large project I need to make 30 DVD's of. HELP!!!!!
A long time ago on my older machine I had similar problems and I went through different drives and discs until I seemed to come up with the magic combination which seemed to be a Plextor burner and Verbatim. But, then i got a bad batch of verbatim and tried Maxell and used those successfully for a while. Right now I'm using what a friend gave me, TDK's. I'm wondering if that's what the problem is... HELP!!!!

I have managed to get it to work consistently now. I just burned 20 DVD's without a problem.
I tried everything you suggested except the imageburn software. I didn't like that site, I was too anxious to try and figure out where to download that software in the midst of all the advertisements on that site.
After clearing out everything in startup and services except what I needed I still wasn't able to burn successfully. Finally I went and purchased some Verbatim DVD-R discs and wahlah! Actually, after the first try with the verbatim I had an error code when trying to burn with Encore. So, I created and image file as you suggested and then I used Cyberlink's Power2Go to burn the image file and from there on it seems everything is solid.
I think the biggest problem was using TDK discs. I came to the realization a few years ago that certain disks are not as predictable as others and that verbatim and maxell seem to be the best. I did get one bad batch of verbatim though one time and that's when I switched to Maxell. My friend gave me 200 of the TDK's and I've been having problems ever since. But, I wasn't sure what it was exactly because he gave me those around the same time I rebuilt my system.
I had also found the Plextor seems to be the best bet for burners. But, I had been using an HP one lately and thought maybe that was the problem. However, now it seems to be fine.
I really don't know what fixed it. I mean, nothing definitely worked until I started using the Verbatim today. But, that first verbatim erroring perplexed me. I had done some other things too, like removed some programs, like a bunch of HP printer crap. I even removed my virus software, Window Security Essentials. I just reinstalled it so now I'm wondering if I can burn as consistently. I had seen somewhere where someone said they removed Windows' Defender to get theirs working.
Anyways, I guess what I need to do is format my main hard drive, only put adobe stuff on it, and then take my old computer set it up for everything else. That'll probably be the best thing to do... If I have anymore problems like this I'm doing that right away!

How can I burn more than 1 movie to a DVD when there is room on the disc for it. Premiere wants to overwrite once 1 movie is burned to the disc

How can I burn more than 1 movie onto a DVD? Once 1 movie is burned successfully to the disc, I try to burn another movie and Premiere wants to overwrite the first movie. One movie is 1.2 GB, second is 2.3; so there is room on a 4.7 GB DVD-RW.

What you report is what it is.
Each burn to of Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc results in the disc containing one OpenDVD Folder and one VIDEO_TS Folder.
Only one VIDEO_TS Folder can be put on a DVD-VIDEO disc even when Premiere Elements is not involved. I have seen that written about online, and I have
never found a way to overcome what seems to be basic behavior description of DVD-VIDEO..
Premiere Elements will allow you to write to a disc with content already on it, but only after you give the OK for erasing the disc content before going ahead
with the burn to.
If you have several movies, one possibility is to build a Timeline with the movies, use stop markers, and setup disc menus according so that the viewer
can selectively watch the movies. More on that later if wanted.
Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
Thank you.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Why will it not let you add them? What specifically are you trying to do, please provide steps.
Frankly, the only thing that should need to be done it restore the iTunes folder from the backup onto the computer. There is no reason to add or import anything.
