First time I've tried to burn a CDR on my Mac Mini, now what program do you use and where is it?
All I want to do is burn a PDF to CD.
Any clues.
All p*ss taking is welcomed.

put the cd into the drive.
it should recognize it's a blank cd.
it will ask you to name the cd.
name it. (or not)
then double click on the cd icon on your desktop.
it will open it like a folder.
drag the pdf into(onto) it.
a red 'record' or like a nuclear biohazard lookin yellow icon should appear.
click it.
cd will burn.
see if you can masturbate before it's finished.
done.

No icon on the desktop, how can i get to the drive from Finder.
I'm still used to my PC unfortunatly.

just put the cd into the drive and it should show up on your desktop. it will look like a cd.
double click on the cd icon when it does.

if not showing up, eject and try to put in again.
sometimes, my pb is slow recognizing cd is in.

if no cd icon then it is damaged either disc or computer.

Ok, I was goign to eject and try again, but theres no eject button which is why I need to find the drive and "right click" to eject.

oh shit... not using a mac keyboard?
- chossy0
top right hand button on your keyboard ejects, if not look for a small hole in your slot and get a paper clip in there and 'wiggle it just a little bit' then the cd will be ejected,
*a very small hole like a pin hole.

I'm on a Mac Mini, with a Mac Keyboard and a Mac Mouse.
All I wanna to is eject the disc and start again.
Christ!

Gingja - look for an eject symbol on your keyboard...
... extend a finger (or two)... and depress the key w/a swift motion - making sure you use enough for to press the key fully, w/out damaging the keyboard of course.

Disc back in.
Some DISK UNTILITY window has appeared that wants to burn an image????

Aaagghhh!

I think the Disk Utility program came up straight away because thats what i told it todo the first time, thinking it would allow me to burn 1 file...... but oh no, things have to be difficult.
Why are things never simple.
