Hi everyone. Long time helper, first time asker (almost)...
I was going to burn a DVD of images last night, with Finder. I put in a blank dvd, Finder made my burn folder, I put in 1600 or so images and clicked Burn.
A few seconds through I realized I forgot a whole year of images. So I hit the stop button. After what felt like days the progress bar finally went away.
The dvd then tried to mount. It just spinned and made seeking noises for a long time. So I rebooted. The iMac would not reboot... as if it was trying to read from the DVD. I hit the power button and held down the mouse button. The DVD ejected and the grey screen got stuck. I hit the power button again.
Finally... the mac was back.
But the burn folder icon is stuck in the desktop and in the sidebar. I cannot eject it. I cannot delete it. Apparently screwing up a burn revokes your 'priviledges' haha.
So... HHEELLPP what do I do? I can't figure this one out =(
Thanks in advance,
Jules
