Howdy.
I suggest that before trying anything else that you change to a
different brand of disc and try again.
You don't mention whether you want to burn CD or DVD.
You don't mention whether you want to use CD-R or CD-RW or DVD-R or
DVD-RW, or printable discs.
While you can do a sharing connection between two Macs and burn with
one optical drive data from the other Mac - see Otto's response - the
behavior of making noise and spitting the disc out is also what people
see when a defective disc is tried or a disc brand that doesn't like
your optical drive.
On a laptop with a slot loading drive, we have seen many failures of
the optical drive (far fewer failures with tray loading external
optical drives and tray loading drives on the MacPro tower). Often
when this type of slot loading optical drive (iMac, Mac Mini, laptops)
fails, you may hear a clicking noise after a disc has been inserted and
the disc will not want to eject without some kind of intervention.

Thanks for your reply, Otto. They are both Macs.

Hi Denver Dan,
Thanks for your reply. I tried to different brands and I have used both of them before, so I do think it is the optical drive. These are CD-R's.
Otto wasn't sure if I could burn his way. Do you happen to know if I can?

Why not just set in your System prefs/ Energy Saver? That's where I choose not to let the computer sleep and not to put the hard drive to sleep.

Thank you Denver Dan for the great lesson in email! I will save the entire email so I can digest it a bit at a time.
Somehow I do (or did) have my Yahoo emails coming into my MAIL program as there are a bunch there from last year and earlier this year. I guess I set this up a long time ago. But I've never been successful in getting the entire MAIL program set up to my liking.
I'm so used to Yahoo, and am not eager to have to go to another whole system right now. But it does seem that I need to learn more about how the MAIL program works. I would not delete it from my iMac. I wanted to just keep it from being triggered when I attempt to send an email to a business using their links.
Thanks again for the comprehensive overview on email!

But I don't know how to choose Yahoo mail because I don't think there is actually an App for Yahoo mail. If there is I don't know where to look for it. There isn't one in my applications folder that I can find, and doing a search of my hard drive gave no results.
As far as I am aware, if you are reading email "in Yahoo", then you are reading your mail in a web browser (like Safari).
That would make you one of the VERY few people I have encountered who *choose* to "do" mail through the web interface rather than with a dedicated mail program.
I resort to the web interface only when circumstances conspire to prevent me from doing anything else.
And I do not believe there is any way to specify to the system a browser itself (as opposed to certain browsers that include dedicated mail programs within them) as your email program.

I've had an iDisk as long as it's been around (since the days of the paid .Mac subscription) and I have a fair amount of stuff on it - stuff I need access to, but don't really want on my work machine. For safekeeping I've moved a lot of it to Dropbox, but I liked the ability to have a disk mounted to my desktop which I could access just as if it were another hard drive. Anyone have any suggestions for another iDisk-like service they've had good experience with?

I use Dropbox as another disk in the Finder. I save to it, update documents from it and the documents are all saved/changed on the devices that have Dropbox installed. That sounds like what you are looking for.

Actually, no - at least I don't think so.
I've looked at dropbox, sugarsync, box, google drive, etc. and they are mostly syncing applications. That is to say that they act as a backup to specifically named folders/files already on your hard drive. They may let you have an "archive" folder that allows you to store files, but you can't mount it to your desktop - you have to open the window and upload/download the file you need.
I have some personal files I occasionally need to access at work - Excel files, Word documents, etc.; I don't need or want these on my work machine, but I need to use them as if they were. I'm really looking for an off-site hard drive that I can mount to my desktop (via WebDAV or whatever) that acts just like a local drive, but doesn't sync to anything on my hard drive. iDisk was perfect; it mounted to my machine as if it were a local drive, but only when I connected to it.

There are NUMEROUS articles comparing it with pre-existing mapping programs.
Most of the differences either FAVOR Apple (e.g., 5X better data efficiency than Google, hugely improved ability to use when off-line), or are relatively trivial (satellite view has distorted renderings in certain areas).
Where Google will often direct you to whatever random address you enter, Apple checks to see if it is a REAL address that actually exits, and if not, won't make up directions to it.
