I don’t know where this goes but the forum did say random. Anyway, about 3 months ago I decided to upgrade my mac to OSX. Hell I upgraded the PC to XP as well. I got to using this great piece of software called I-tunes. After downloading a couple CD’s worth of tunes I decided I better burn these to a CD and take em to work. Well funny thing is I can’t get the program to recognized my internal burner and its not like its an off brand. In fact its as new as 3 months old, I put it in when I upgraded the system. Anyway turns out I have another external burner hooked up as well. One of those Que Firewire burners, which the I-tunes recognizes. Here’s the kicker, I get everything to work up to the burn. Once I press the burn button in I-tunes the disc just sits and spins, nothing gets burned. No errors just no burn. I have read that I need to use 650 CDR’s and I try that, nothing. I visited the apple site and the Que site, they both say it should work. I’ve found tons of people say they experience the same thing. But I have not read that someone actually got everything to work. **So, anybody who has a mac, a Que Fire burner and I-tunes get it to burn?** BTW, My PC which has a new internal burner as well is recognized and burns quite well from I-tunes. Makes me think the program was written for a PC or XP in the first place. ---

O man. I don’t have a Mac my friend (I wish I did), but I recommend you check out a huge forum that is centralized on Mac issues. ---

Look for firmware upgrades or downgrades. Ex. if your firmware is the latest, downgrade one, two if necessary. If it’s not the latest, upgrade. ---

Thanks, but I tried that and a few other things, like buying a internal firewire card thats supposed to be needed after you update to OSX 10.3 and a few other things people at Mac forums have suggested. I just figured I would try here because I knew we have some Mac people and you were different mac people than the one’s from other boards. I guess it will go unsolved at least until the next OSX update. I’ll be getting an Ipod in a few months anyway. > [@Maxtr0sity](#): > > Look for firmware upgrades or downgrades.
