Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default external modem help needed!

ok...before i tear the rest of my hair out i thought i would turn to these great forums for help!

i have a mac laptop (the toilet seat cover one) with OSX 10.3.9 and Roxio Toast 6.0.7.

For some reason it will not recognize my external burner. It says No Recorder Found. When I click on it, it briefly says "scanning" in red but then goes back to No Recorder Found.

I do notice that when I hit the Copy Tab at the top is says "read from built in DVD-Rom" but does not give me any option to change that. I don't know if that's part of the problem but thought I would mention it.

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Not very sure .... but is your burner connected by USB or Firewire? ... I suspect Firewire would be better. BTW is your subject heading a typo?

What brand & model is your burner? And as Only A Hobo asked, is it USB or Firewire?

I can tell you one thing, Toast has had other updates since 6.0.7 so the program itself might not recognise the new burner. The last update I'm aware of is 6.1.1 (see http://www.roxio.com/en/support/toas...pdatesv6.jhtml ) Is yours the full version or Lite version?

Also, you might need to use patchburn (click on link) to get the OS & osx apps to recognise it.

I have no idea if it's USB or Firewire..how do I tell?
(and yes, I AM a moron when it comes to computers, as you can probably tell!!)

The burner I have is old..it's a Hewlett Packard CD Writer Plus 8200 series.

I downloaded the Patch thing..but the minute I click on it to run it, is says "CD burner not found".

AGH!!

How to you tell difference between USP & FW? Good question. The interface connector plug on usb is a little thinner than firewire. usb connector is rectangle. Whereas FW is round at one end of the connector. Like an arch shape. FW actually has different connector types.

If yours is a usb device, then that might be why. Most recommended for mac are FW burners. I've heard of problems of recognition for usb burners before. As well, usb1 on the older macs is too slow for burning. That's because the usb card is slow; ie: 12 Mbps. Whereas firewire is 400 Mbps. I guess it depends how old your mac is. I think all G4's older than 2 yrs used the slow usb cards.

My experience was that anything that worked on OS9 was unlikely to work on OSX. They could be run under classic, but That proved to be atotal waste of time in general. This should not apply to an external devise
but
I do have a feeling in your case that you should try a firewire connection, rather than USB as you need power out through the connecting cable to your burner I suspect and usb, as LOTR explained, on older macs is pretty useless when power is required.

I'm suggesting you connect the Burner to your computer with a cable that goes into the firewire socket on your computer rather that the usb socket. You may need to buy a cable to do this. A usb socket has a sort of threepointed arrow symbol(all pointing in the same direction. A firewire socket has A symbl like a 3 pointed X I
/\ sort of.

I don't think we yet know which socket your burner does plug into.

So no need to contact your isp ... we are not talking about your internet connection, just the connection of computer to burner.
