pfitz321 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 My burner is not detected by toast, although the following is found in System Profiler, so should the burn features work in toast???? When I am ready to start burning after compilling the list of files that I want to burn - under the burn button it reads "No Burner Present or Found". Help !!!

Cubric Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 did you select the burner drive in Toast? Probably, you have to select it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenesis Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ordinarily, Toast automatically selects an available drive. I'm completely ignorant of your particular drive, but when I did a quick Google search for the model, I only came up with a list of other peoples' problems with that model. Under Tiger, there is a freeware utility called Patchburn which will add many third-party burner profiles to the operating system so that you can use your burner with iTunes and the other Apple applications. I am not sure that Patchburn will help Toast at all, nor am I sure that it will run at all under Leopard. I do not thing that it can hurt to try it, and see if it recognizes your burner. You can get Patchburn here, and see if it helps anyway: http://www.patchburn.de/ If I was in your situation, I'd also try to burn from iTunes, and see if it recognizes your burner. If you continue to have problems, I'd consider purchasing a more widely-supported burner, like a Pioneer D112. They are fast and very inexpensive, at around $30 in either black or white. SATA drives are equally inexpensive. Roxio used to maintain a list of Toast-compatible recorders. However, they appear to have done away with that list. (If anyone has any information about the whereabouts of that list, please PM me with a link to it! I've needed that list several times in the last few weeks, and I can't locate it anywhere. TIA!)

pfitz321 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Leopard not supported via patch burn; I did although successfully burn using disk utility so I guess I am going to have to just work with what I can do for now 1!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenesis Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It's REALLY odd that the system would recognize your drive and that Toast won't support it. I saw that you are running Iatkos (it's great), but which version of Toast are you using? I have been told that under Leopard I should use 7.1.3, but I am having no problem with 8.0.1. Toast 8.0.3 had problems on both my MacBook and my Hacky. When I started a burn, the progress dialog box would be completely white, showing no information. Great bug. Roxio's Toast team is traditionally wonderful at fixing stuff, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
