Problems burning CD-R images...
Published (2009-11-23 16:52:00)
The Mac is quite capable of viewing CD-R disks and the images on them. You have mentioned finalizing the disk. This MUST be done before the disk is usable in the Mac. You will find that option somewhere in the CD burning software on your PC. As to the error, you may well have a faulty burner on the PC. Why not move the images using a thumbdrive? P

Since it started recently can you think of any new software or updates you installed within the same timeframe? As for logging in from another machine: First you'll have to enable Remote Login in the Sharing Preference pane. Once that's done you'll need the IP address of your machine and another machine on the same local network (for simplicity's sake). Any machine with a terminal will do. From the other machine type...

Apologies for the confusion, I did mean Time Capsule and not Time Machine, quite different things and unintentionally misleading. I'd like to explore the Subnet Mask before using Pacifist to extract the original HP drivers from the Leopard DVD however, they all match! At the moment I have the following: Time Capsule IP Address: 192.168.0.3 Sub-Net 255.255.255.0 MacPro IP Address: 192.168.0.5 Sub-Net 255.255.255.0 HP Printer IP Address:...

I want ti thank you for your reply. Just before I received the e-mail I went into systems preference files and clicked on accounts and then to the logins. And there was grab. I deleted it and that was the answer to why it would not quit. I thought of this after a nights sleep.

An update is software only. And upgrade can be either hardware or software, or both.

Technically there are no actual size requirements for a drive to be used as a Time Machine backup but there are certain common sense guidelines. Backing up a 1TB with a 40GB HD would not be a good idea, although it may even work for the first backup. If you do not actually have more than 1TB of data on your new machine, then the 1TB backup will do just fine until it gets full, then ...

I don't know if quicktime (v10 or pro) will open the file, but if it does, you can 'save as' to a format you want. In VLC, you can go to File > Streaming/Export Wizard and possibly convert the file to a compatible format. While I don't know if these will work for this type of file, it's worth a try.

Does this happen using the built-in keyboard and mouse or do you use external devices? Are they using Bluetooth? I sometimes have my Bluetooth mouse stop responding for no reason. When it happens try connecting a USB keyboard and mouse and see if they respond. You could also try logging in from another machine via ssh and see which, if any, processes are misbehaving. More details ...

I don't run an Apple. But in Windows I wouldn't trust a hard disk giving pending bad sectors and replace it by a new one. No risk for me. But you may like to try a repair. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1641 for that. If it's a diskette or a USB stick (you didn't tell), I'd throw it away. Kees
