I'm brand new to downloading music. I've managed to buy 3 songs and they are in my iMac.
How do I copy them to a cd ? I've tried everything, with no luck. When I pull down a menu with a "Copy" option , nothing happens.
Help appreciated.
Rich.

Howdy and Merry.

Rich, this is actually easy but it helps to learn some terms and
something about audio file formats. I will probably, in my wordy way,
be telling you stuff you already know.

Can I assume that you bought the 3 songs via your iTunes program on
your Mac and from the Apple iTunes music store?

If you did not buy them using iTunes, then you would need to add the 3
songs to the iTunes program.

Note that you can "RIP" the music from a commercial Audio CD into
iTunes. So if you have a shelf of music CDs you have bought, you would
add them to ITunes and this process is called a RIP.

Before RIPping Audio CDs into iTunes, be sure to consider the quality
that you want for the music files in iTunes. iTunes has a Preference
setting that determines the conversion from Audio CD format into one of
several formats for iTunes. See iTunes menu>Preferences, then click
the General item and check the "When you insert a CD" setting. The
popup menu "Ijmport Settings…" has 5 different file format options.

Audio CD and Data CD. Two different types of CDs.

An audio CD is a special type of CD disc. Apple's iTunes program can
burn songs to an Audio CD disc.

One Audio CD can hold about 700 MB of music files.

Note that when you buy a song from the iTunes music store that the file
format of the song is different from the file format of a song on an
Audio CD.

The songs you burn to an Audio CD, or the ones on a commercial Audio CD
that you buy, have limits. If you insert the disc and look at the
files they ONLY say Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, Track 4, etc. The files
on an Audio CD can not have other info added to them such as composer,
genre, album name, and more.

You can also make a Data CD disc, or a data DVD disc. On your
Macintosh, you can burn one of these in Finder. In Finder, see the
Burn command under the File menu. When you insert a CD or DVD you want
to burn as a data disc (which can hold music files, movies, MS Word
documents, images, etc.) you will see an icon appear on the Desktop.
You drag files to this icon and when finished be sure to select this
icon (one click does a select) and then use that Burn command.

You can also burn a data disc using Apple's Disk Utility.

About audio file formats. The iTunes program can deal with a variety
of music file formats. The MP3 format is a compressed format. To
achieve the compressed format (thus a smaller file) some data is
removed from an MP3 file. If you then play this on a standard computer
and listen on the computer's speaker you probably won't hear much
different between it and a higher quality file format (and thus a
larger file).

To burn an Audio CD from iTunes you first create a Playlist. Do this
with the gray Plus button at bottom left. Name the Playlist when you
create it to reflect the content of the new Audio CD.

Then drag several songs from the main Music Library into your new
Playlist. This does not move a song it just adds a link to the song in
the Playlist. When done adding to the Playlist insert a blank CD-R (or
CD+R) disc, select the Playlist, then pick the Burn Playlist to Disc
command from iTunes File menu.

Viola!

There's more to this topic but that's the basics above.

Good luck.

Dan, this was a good, informative post. I have one question: What would be the advantage of burning to an Audio CD, over burning to a data CD?

I think I once read that there is no technical difference between audio & data CDs. The difference is audio CDs have a royalty fee attached which goes somehow back to the artist. Therefore the Audio CD is more expensive. Got nuthin to do with the actual CD.

This is what my 71 year olde RAM sez. Hummmm is this Christmas ?

Let me chime in here. An audio CD can be played by a standard CD
player. Lately some will play data CD's, but not all that many. For
example, I have a 2010 Kia Forte that can accept data CD's with MP3
files on them. Try inserting that disc in most players, though, and
it won't work. The advantage of a data CD with MP3's is that you can
fit a lot more onto the disc than you can with a standard audio disc
with AIFF files.

Hi,

Strange. The ability - and shortcut symbols to CUT (Command+ C) has disappeared from my MS Word 2011 on my MAC OS 10.6.8.

When I tried to reset it in the WORD keyboard drop down(Tools/Customize Keyboard) as Copytext > Command +C the form seemed to accept the reset but it still didn't reappear in the menu and the keyboard shortcut still didn't work.

Cut and Copy to Scrapbook are still there with their shortcut symbols.
Copy is there sans symbols. I CAN copy by going to the menu copy, just not by keyboard. Big pain when you're busy.

So I used the OS system prefs keyboard shortcuts form and selected the button for "ALL CONTROLS". ALL apps BUT Word are working.

Any ideas out there, "O Mac/Word Geniuses"? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Rob

Usually Command-C is Copy and Command-X is Cut.

Can I change the Air to match the pro? No

They need different IP's to prevent confusion. It's compared to, two
trains, trying to use the same section of track at the same time.

Any help would be so appreciated.

I log into the Yahoo mail web site and see that I've got 15,000 (yes, fifteen thousand)-plus messages in my inbox -- all read. These are from many mail lists I subscribe to so the number is not surprising to me.

The reason they're in my inbox is that Mail (or Yahoo -- I can't decide which) has not deleted the messages when downloaded.

Is there some way I can leave messages on the server and remove them manually (from Mail app, not the web interface), not automatically? Second choice is to have them automatically deleted after a week or so?

Thanks,
Dave

Howdy and Merry.

I think you answered you own question with the comment about a loose
FireWire connection.

In what way is it loose? A damaged FireWire port on the drive? A
flawed or dammed FireWire connector on the cable?

Try a different FW cable and if the drive has 2 FW ports (many do since
you can daisy chain FW devices) then try the other port.

I doubt that a firmware update is the issue.
