How do I burn & read disks in OS 10.14.2???

[Mr. D]

How do I burn & read disks in OS 10.14.2??? I've been using Macs since the very 1st one.... & now the "improvements" are leaving me behind! It used to be so simple & to intuitive use a disk drive... BUT Apple can't have that!

So... (1.) I drug the data to the external disk ico, (2.) I selected burn to disk..... & nothing what am I doing wrong?


NEVER MIND! After the 2384 try (exaggerating again) it finally burned the disk! Hooray!I don't know why it wouldn't before????? The OS should give an error reading if I'm not doing it right!

See if this helps for burning discs, https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/burn-cds-and-dvds-mchl8addfd95/mac?

What do you need to know about reading discs?

Disks, what are "disks"?

You know they are hard drives Rod. Mr. D was actually referring to 'discs'.

Ha, ha, sorry MrD, couldn't resist. I suppose I could equally have asked, what are discs. Bound to go the same way as floppy discs and cassettes soon I predict. It really is amazing how far we have come in such a short time. I haven't put a DVD in my DVD player for a couple of years, I plug a USB drive into it loaded with movies I've downloaded on my laptop. The next TV we get will allow me to plug the USB drive in directly no doubt. The most amazing change is that I can tune into a TV station on my iPhone and stream the content to my mibox.
