I thought ethernet would be used automatically if available? Why would
anyone not want that to be the case?

Howdy.
I didn't realize that Apple has discontinued iDVD with the introduction
of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
You might be able to find it at Amazon or eBay as part of an older
iLife box.
There are other programs similar to iDVD.
I used Roxio Toast for most burning projects.
I think there are some freeware dvd burning programs but I don't have
experience with them.
Any suggestions from group members??

Well, you can always make a disk image of the DVD in Disk Utility, and burn the image from there, for free.

There are several. "Burn" is one that I've used. Just search using "freeware" or "open source." Mac OS has Disk Utility, which will make "images" from which you can make copies. You can also make a "Burn Folder." Finder.... Edit... New Burn Folder. And there's iDVD for making authored DVDs.
Roxio Toast "lite" versions are generally included with any retail burn hardware so probably easy to get via Craigslist or Freecycle. While I don't like the Windows version of Roxio, I do like Toast a lot. An old "lite" version is all most people need as long as it is compatible with your OS version.
As others have pointed out, there are several issues that one needs to understand when making "DVDs." The most important is that a data DVD and a "DVD-Video" are two very different beasts. While a proper DVD-video is cross platform, data DVDs come in many forms, some cross-platform and some not. For instance, OSX "Burn Folders" do NOT make cross-platform discs. At least not by default.

I use YASU every week or so to clean up my computer (and have YASU checkboxes set per Randy's OSX Maint & Troubleshooting website).
I got an error message after running YASU and looked at the log. I've only included a part of the log, with the two error messages set between lines below to save searching. These messages are in the "Remove System Cache" and "Remove Local Cache" routines. It says the resource was busy, which doesn't sound nasty, but I haven't gotten these error messages before. After running YASU and getting this error message, I ran it again right after the computer restarted, but this time there was no error.
I have been playing with Applescripts lately, so I don't know if that leaves something active in the background. I also installed a dual drive internal RAID-0 recently. I don't know if they might have an impact. I'm running OSX 10.6.8.
Just want to know what's going on and take appropriate action, if required.
Thx,
Lou

Howdy.
Lou, what version of YASU are you running?
You might check for a newer version. There is some info online about
version 2.7.6 fixing cache removal problems due to permission errors.
With that in mind, you could also try running Disk Utility's Repair
Disk Permissions first and then running YASU second.

Thanks, Dan.
I'm running the latest version (2.7.6). My Mac HD is an SSD so it can't be "repaired" by Disk Utility. I did run a Verify check and it came up clean.
After a restart, YASU (if run again), comes up clean.

Hi Lou,
DD's suggesting you repair *permissions* rather than the disk. You can do that with an SSD, and you'll find it in the lower left corner of the Disk Utility window, whereas the Repair Disk button is in the lower right. Hope this helps!

Dane,
I probably misunderstood Dan's email. Thanks.
I run SuperDuper backups nightly, and have SuperDuper set to repair permissions before backing up my startup drive. So, repairing permissions is done regularly. I also have YASU set to run the daily, weekly and monthly cron scripts, and to reset system permissions. Those operations complete before YASU tries to clear the system and local cache.
Don't both of these programs run "repair permissions", or am I missing something?

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that I still see some activity when running "repair permissions" from Disk Utility after SuperDuper! or YASU having done it. I don't have a good answer for you, but I wonder if there's a difference?

My Safari (URL Box) has disappeared from my tool bar. I've tried 'View' then 'Customize tool bar' but the URL address box is not available there to drag. I've also tried holding down the
'command' key along with the 'shift' and the 'forward slash' at the same time. Nothing is
working.
