Hey y'all, another new switcher here.
My new Mac Pro is only two weeks old, and I had to call AppleCare on Christmas Day to resolve a problem I had burning any discs. I would insert a CD or DVD, follow the prompt to open it in Finder, then get a "Disc is unrecognizable" error. So, after trying every type of blank CD and DVD I had in the house and trying an external burner I have, I finally called for help.
The first agent I got walked me through a few reboots and such and finally told me I was going to need to erase and reinstall. Ugh. Well, I wanted to make sure I had everything backed up right, so I told him I'd call back when I was ready.
The second agent wasn't ready to throw in the towel. He had me reboot a few times with the blank disc already in the drive, therefore bypassing the Finder prompt. We jumped into iTunes, and tada...drive burned without a hitch. Hmmmm...ok, no burner problem, gotta be a problem with Finder. So, looks like I'm back to erase and reinstall.
Not so fast, he says. He asks me if I want to try something experimental. Since my only other option was a complete reinstall, I agreed to try anything.
Well, to make a long story just a tad shorter, he had me trash the Finder Scripts in the Library. After rebooting, Finder burned like a champ.
Cool.
Now to my question (if you lasted this long), since I'm still an Apple newbie, is anything else gonna be messed up since I deleted those scripts? I haven't noticed anything not working right, but I'm not sure I should. Just wondering.
Anyhow, loving the new Mac and can't believe I waited so long to switch.
