Hey all. I'm trying to help a friend with a 333 Mhz original model iMac running 10.2.8 to get iTunes to recognize a USB CD burner she got. It came with some software that claims that it supports iTunes burning but and it says to disable the Authoring Support though it doesn't tell how. The burner is an Iomega CD-RW 52x/DVD-ROM combo USB 2.0 External drive. Burning data and supposedly audio works with the bundled software but my friend wants to use iTunes (who doesn't lol). Can any1 help?

Authoring Support was an extension that OS9 needed to do Finder and iTunes burning. It conflicted with the Toast extensions.

In order to burn with that drive in OSX you need Patch Burn. It will allow iTunes to recognize and use your Iomega drive. However, do not try burning the disks at any speed fast than 4x. You'll end up with a ton of coasters that way.

EDIT: That link to Patch Burn that I posted above seems to only be for Panther and you are running Jaguar. Here (.sit) is the link for the Jaguar version.

And this is neither helpful nor relevant at all.

I'll play nice.

If you were using the same burner, you never mentioned which burner you were using, or perhaps one with the same mechanism, that would be helpful. If you were running the same OS, you said it was under Mac OS 9 and SM clearly stated in the first line that he was running 10.2.8, that would be helpful. Lacking those two aspects, your posts was neither relevant nor helpful.

I hope that clears it up for you. In the future, it is better to give no advice than to give bad advice.

Oh, and SM, threads like these should go in GB in the future.

OK. I only posted it here because it involved third party hardware/software.

BTW: My friend downloaded and tried to get the PatchBurn thing working but so far to no avail. iTunes keeps saying that it can't find a supported writer. We then read the readme and it says that it needs 256 MB of RAM or more... and she's only got 96... I guess I should have mentioned that before. Is there another solution that has a lighter RAM requirement?

Heh.. Yeah.. She's running OS X 10.2.6 or so... I'm surprised it even runs at all... It's an original generation iMac/333 MHz with like a 4 GB HD or something. I'm doing a followup on Friday and I'll give you guys the lowdown on her system specs then. In fact, she called me again tonight and we talked about getting more RAM for her comp.. It's gonna be pricey... She's got a family owned Apple reseller not far from her and they're really good. I'll let you guys know what happens.

I have a related problem:

External IOMEGA CDRW 23042 EXT3-B USB burner will not burn from Finder. It is OK from iTunes and iPhoto, and reads any discs inserted - but I can't make normal data discs.

Tried to install Apple's DiscReader and PatchBurn 3, but both said this Mac does not need the software. The drive is "Apple Supported" in the About the Mac menu.

I had a workaround when using OS 10.2 but the up to 10.3.9 seems to have killed it.

Any ideas or other things to try?

If I were you, I'd try Toast, just because finder's burning has failed me before.
