Yet another windows user unable to burn to CD

This is my first experience with iTunes and it's turning out to be frustrating. I purchased a Stereo MCs track exclusive to iTunes and want to burn it to a CD so I can listen to it in my car.
Here's the problem. When I put a blank disc in iTunes pops up a message saying:
"You've inserted a blank CD or DVD. To burn songs on the disc, select the playlist that contains the songs you want ot burn and then click Burn Disk in the upper-right corner of the iTunes Window."
I followed the advice by creating a playlist and clicking the burn disc link. It immediately spits out the disc and says "Please insert a blank disc..." ***? So I put the disc back in and nothing happens.
I've looked through the forums and have not yet seen a solution. I followed all the troubleshooting tips (different media, all updates, updating firmware, prayers, potions and spells) and can't find a solution for this problem.
My drives work totally fine reading and writing any disc format in any other software (Windows Media, Roxio, Windows Native, Media Monkey.) iTunes can't be this delicate or finicky can it? If it is I'd say it's time to rewrite some code.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

In the report, your gettin error -128 which means iTunes is cancelling the burn before the Drive actually starts burning. Its most likly due to some conflict.
Goto www.dell.com and download any firmware updates for the CD ROM, BIOs updates, basicly any update that applies for your model.
If updating the firmware does not work, try going to edit>preferences>advanced tab>burn sub tab and slow the burn speed from "Max" to dsomething like 8x or 4x.
Also try a different brand of blank media

Windows 7 unable to burn cds

I have Windows 7. Till last week I was able to burn cds, but not any more. How could I solve the problem? Thanks in advance.

Are you using any third party burning application?If,then uninstall,reinstall or update the application.
If the problem persists then try the following Fixit application.

Windows Users Unable to Access SL Server

I am attempting to have Windows clients access the SL server as AD users. I have AD/OD configured in a Magic Triangle with 10.5 and 10.6 clients being managed properly and accessing everything normally. smb services are enabled, all users and groups appear to have access according to Server Admin but I cannot login to the SL server as an AD user from a W2K machine. I'm probably missing something obvious, so I apologize for any ignorance on my part. Any ideas on how to gain access under Windows are welcome.

How can I keep my extensions separate from another Windows user?

I love LastPass and can't live without it.

Yet another Fios user trying to add a WRT54G as an access point

Hello all - I've read through the forum and I think I know what I need to do, but want to confirm before I start jacking up a working network.
Current state -
1. Fios (Mi424 WR Rev D) wireless modem / router / gateway is up and running
2. If I recall correctly, I set it up with static IP addresses so my wireless enabled printer is always on the same IP and my Linksys Nas200 is too (easier to reconnect both to my work laptop)
3. Fios router is in downstairs closet in corner of house - kids now want to connect laptop upstairs and signal is not so good
4. Dad wants to use trusty semi-retired Linksys WRT54G (ver 1.1) as an access point for upstairs but doesn't really want to mess with firmware and doesn't want to run a cat5 cable between the two routers.
Is this the right way to do it? - (link to Linksys knowledge base answer ID 3733 -----> LINK )
I have read through this 3 times, but don't understand it very well. I'm an IT guy by trade, but obviously not a network admin.... Any help is much appreciated!
thanks,
Matt

Thanks for this. Sad to hear but not shocking.
Is there any way to make these signals seemless to the end users? i.e. the same SSID so that it just a user just gets one signal and automagically hits the strongest one? I'm assuming using the same SSID, channel, key, etc. would do it.
thanks.

Yet another Windows Printing Issue

I've searched the net and these forums all afternoon trying to resolve my printing issues. I've followed all the common links posted by people who are tired of explaining the solutions to no avail. I do have the Gutenprint 5.1.3 driver installed. It doesn't list the 2100TN, but lists the 2100.
Gear:
Windows 2003 Server
HP LaserJet 2100TN Printer attached shared through Win2k computer on the local network.
PowerBook G4 (wireless)
I've been successful printing in the past with this equipment. I'm not sure what happened, except I do remember resetting the print services on my Mac a while ago. That wiped out all my printers. That must have been because I lost print capabilities to the LaserJet.
Any help is appreciated. This is a work environment and I need to print with my Mac fonts.

Greg
Thank you for trying to help. The work environment is a Windows 2003 Server, about 10 Windows 2k computers on a single domain. The HP printer is connected via the printer port on a Reception desk computer and shared as 2100TN. Let's call this computer Shubunkin. Shubunkin shares the printer to all on the network, including (hopefully) my Powerbook G4, which is connected via a wireless router. The G4 accesses the network folders via Samba - smb. The IP address of Shubunkin is in the same subnet as the other computers.
Long story short, I have spent many hours trying to figure this out on multiple occasions. The last time I was connected was by a $100/hr tech that helped sort out some networking issues we were having after a move. At the end of the day, I asked him if he could take a look at my Mac and get the printer working. It took all of 10 min., but I'm not even sure he knew how he did it. He's a Windows tech. I do remember the printer showing up somewhere in the printer browser (AppleTalk maybe) on my Mac and choosing it. It was late and back last October.
I want to be concise; I'm just not sure what information you all need to help. I do appreciate any efforts!!

Yet another BtBroadband user with slow connection....

Hi all.
I've been having this problem for over a month now. Just before xmas our internet connection went down.
I phoned Bt, went through all the usual tests to be told there was nothing wrong with them and it was my equipment. Ok, no problem, I went out and bought a new router, got it home, plugged it in, still no internet.
Phoned Bt again, spoke to different person at callcenter, went through all the usual tests to be told that, yes, there was a problem with the line and to give it a few days for them to sort out. I gave it a few days and, amazing, the internet came back on. Problem was it was very slow. Ok, I thought, new modem, fixed connection, maybe I need to give it a few days to speed up. It's been a month now and it's gotten slower. So slow infact that when I ran the Bt Speedtester it said that my download speed was 59kps. This was the same speed I was getting back in '97 with my old dial-up modem (ah the memories...).
Anyway, called Bt again, explained all the above and was directed to thier online guide for improving the connection speeds, not very helpfull. Prior to the line problems in december, I was getting speeds up 21000kps. The line was rated for speeds between 4000-21000kps. My property is less than a 1km from the exchange, my router is connected to the main socket and I didn't have any problems prior to the line problems last year.
I have been searching through the previous posts on this forum and can see many other people with similar issues. One post stated that, because of thier line problems Bt had downgraded thier bandwith while the problem was dealt with, but had forgotten to increase it back to normal speed once it had been sorted.
This could be the issue with my connection and if any of the moderators are out there, could this be looked into, it would be deeply appreciated.
My Btspeedtester results and modem stats are as follows:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 59 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 100-250 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :286 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 888 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps
The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 0.64:11.33:89.14 (SBE:NBEBE)
These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic.
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 728 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 888 Kbps
Router:
Type    Interleave Path
   Status    SHOWTIME
Downstream    Upstream
      Data rate(Kbps)

   Noise Margin

   Output power(dBm)

   Attenuation(dB)

I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

"If line instability is shown to stabilise normally the exchange equipment will remove the banding however on some occasions it does not release,and bt can release it manually but they like to see hub stats that show that during the line has been stable for a minimum of 5days but 10 is prefered" I'm not sure whose brainwashed you with this stuff, however. FaCT: BT retail complain to BTw about stuck banded profiles, and yes they can reset the INP, but if the line characteristics don't improve, it goes back to where it was. They also operate to strict protocol, and don't put lightweight preference on whether its seen a fixed rate at 5 days or 10. Truth is if the line is seeing high noise margin and not improving, it has a problem, and often can't be fixed, or take advantage of 21CN. Or sometimes it can be fixed, by the customer, if they choose to, or are capable of. It's not in BT's remit to fix home induced noise, but it is for the line, if its possible. They (BTw) can change any workiing parameter they see fit on DLM, but the main reason for it, is to run in AUTO. In other words, they don't do it for all and sundry, or at the drop of a hat, without good reason. Hence, they don't set "preference" for seeing stable connections. They tend to let the physics do its job.

Sharing iTunes library across 2 Windows user IDs

My Windows XP computer is set up with 2 user accounts. iTunes is installed and all of my music is stored in my Shared Music folder (this folder is in Shared Documents, which is accessible from each user ID).
I want to be able to use iTunes from either Windows user ID. The problem is that iTunes creates and maintains 2 separate iTunes Music Library.xml files. When I'm logged on (user #1), iTunes uses the xml file in my My Documents folder. When my spouse is logged on (user #2), iTunes uses the xml file in her My Documents folder.
This is problematic. If I add a new song to iTunes from my Windows ID (and the song file is placed in the Shared Music folder), it is added to my library and xml file. If my spouse logs on and launches iTunes, the song is NOT in her iTunes library. She has to manually add the file from the iTunes Add File to Library command.
I'd like iTunes to use a single library that both Windows user IDs can use and maintain. I don't want to have to manually try to keep these in sync.
I can't find any setting in iTunes for this, and the user guide doesn't even mention this topic. Any help is appreciated!!!

TheMint,
I think it works like this:
The setting you describe is where iTunes will store the music files themselves (.aac or .mp3, etc.) However, iTunes creates an index of all of your music, and it uses that index to display all of your music in iTunes. The index file is called iTunes Library.xml
The index is stored in the My Documents\My Music folder of the user ID you log in as. Apparently, you cannot tell iTunes to store this in a different location.
So if you create an iTunes library under one Windows user ID, the index is created in that user ID's My Documents\My Music folder. If you then log in as another Windows user ID, iTunes does not see the index that was created by the first Windows user. Thus you do not see any of the music listed in iTunes.

CF Admin login fails (invalid pw) for Windows User other than the one used to install CF 10

I installed CF 10 on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard having logged into the server as a Windows user in the administrator group. I set up CF 10 Administrator to use a single password (the default). I can log into CF Admin when authenticating to the server with the same Windows credentials used when installing CF 10 but if I log into the server as another Windows user in the administrator group I cannot log into CF Admin; I get an Invalid Password error. I thought the whole point of the single password was so that anyone who can log into the server could log into CF Admin. It works like that for my CF 8 and CF 9 machines.

It is a new design, based on security issues that arose in previous ColdFusion versions. See, for example, Charlie Arehart's blog for more details.

Digital signature valid or invalid depending on the signing Windows user

I have a very strange problem and was not able to determine how to resolve it because I quite don't undestand the mechanisms of signing, it seems.
I have a digital signature issued by a member of the "Adobe Approved Trust List". If I sign a document with Adobe Reader XI or Adobe Acrobat XI Standard logged in with one Windows user account the signature appears valid on any other Windows user account. If I use another Windows user account and sign the document with the same digital signature the signature is invalid in this Windows user account and any other.
I didn't change any settings in any of the Adobe products. I use the standard configuration as present just after a fresh install.
One thing I already checked, which nevertheless doesn't explain this strange behavior, is to enable Windows-Integration in the signature configuration of the Adobe products. If this is enabled both documents (the one signed with the "good" Windows user account and the other signed in a "bad" one) show the signature as valid on any Windows account.
So I am wondering if, besides the signature itself, anything else is integrated into a document while being signed that could explain that behavior and, if this is the case, where the setting, trigger, whatsoever, is, to set up Adobe correctly.
Please help.

What do you mean by "signature is invalid"? Is it a a red X or is it Unknown? A problem with trust results in the "Unknown" status, not "Invalid".
In any case, inspect the signature, first in the Signature panel. It will tell you some info about what's wrong with this signature. Then right-click on the signature and select "Show Signature Properties". You'll get a dialog with more info. In this dialog select "Show Signer's Certificate". Check the chain (in the left pane) and "Revocation" tab for each certificate in the chain.
Compare this info for signatures created on a "good" account and "bad". My guess is that the "bad" account is lacking some certificate-related component.and the "good account has it. The fact that if you turn on Windows integration signature becomes valid tells me that it is something related to account.
Another thing to try is this. Go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Security folder and see if it has CRLCache folder. If it has, delete it and try to sign again.
Also compare the preferences. Check the Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Verification->More->Verification Time preference. Is it the same on both accounts? Is it "Time when the signature was created"? Is the "Include signature's revocation status" check box in Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Verification->More->Creation and Appearances->More checked in both accounts?

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

How can I burn a video shot with an iPhone 4 to a CD so a Windows user can watch it?

I shot a short video with my AT&T iPhone 4 and it's stored in iPhoto 9.1.5 on my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. What do I need to do in order to burn it to a CD so I can give it to a Windows user so he can view the video on his PC running Vista? I'm not sure about the video file format needed for Windows to play the video. Thanks for any help you can provide. I know this is likely a very basic question, but nothing I've tried seems to work. Any suggestions or links to resources that can answer this question will be deeply appreciated.

You should be able to connect to their computer via your USB cable, copy the video over using Windows Explorer and the PC should be able to view it without any conversion.
When you do this, make sure they don't have iTunes set to automatically open and automatically sync when an iOS device is connected.

Why do Mac users have to pay for iCloud's photostream yet windows users get it free?

Hi. I have an iPhone 4S as well as a MacBook pro upgraded to Lion, yet my iPhoto still runs from iLife 09. Windows users can use the photo stream feature for free by downloading the iCloud control panel, and yet I have to pay to upgrade my iPhoto to the latest version just to use photo stream despite the fact I already payed for a £600 phone, a £1000 2010 MacBook pro and a further £20 for Lion? I'm not having that. Especially when windows users get it free anyway. How can I get the iCloud windows toolbar/panel on my mac? Or how do I get photo stream without upgrading to the new iPhoto?

cost of iphoto upgrade is a lot less than the cost of windows vista or windows 7 operating systems.
but if you had to have it without upgrading lion or iphoto, get windows on your mac's bootcamp and then you can get the control panel for free.
but all else aside, offering apple content on windows is a means to entice users to purchase other mac products. Don't forget apple is a business designed to sell products. Do you get mad at burger king when you purchase a burger and they expect you to pay extra money for fries and a drink?

Unable to get Windows User Name using Oracle Forms 6i, Jinitiator 1.3.1.17

Hi,
Requirement: Get Windows User Name using Oracle Web Forms 6i.
Tools Using: Windows NT, Oracle web forms 6i, Oracle 10g DB.
Description: I am using GetClientInfo JBean from otn.oracle.com, which gets windows user name, IP address and machine name. The demo I got from oracle web site uses Jinitiator version 1.1.7.18. While we are using the latest version Jinitiator 1.3.1.17. Due to this reason, I am unable to use Javakey which comes with older version but doesn't come with newer version, that's why I can't create the new JavaBean Java identity (PJC).
Please advise what to do. All environment variables are set everything is done, this is the only thing bothering me.
I went through the article 202768.1 from metalink, but on step 5, it gives an error keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 Certificate.
Also, please let me know if there is any other workaround for this requirement.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply. Actually there was a problem in creating a certificate, now it is okay with the same method. Certificate got imported on client and everything is ready.
Now, the problem is when I try to set Bean Area Implementation Class property with oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo, it gives an error FRM-13008 Cannot find JavaBean with name 'oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo'.
I went through the articles 1072329.6, 196824.1, and set ClassPath and Path variables with proper values. Also, I have copied jar file and signature file in forms60/java folder. I don't see any problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. My limitation is that I have to do all this in forms6i.
I searched forums on metalink and found out that someone installed Patch 15, and everything went okay for him. Do you think I should install Patch 15? if YES, how will I do it, I mean should I first uninstall my forms and then install patch15 or install the patch on my forms?
Thanks so much for your help.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo
