SmartDisk 24x10x24x manual Burning CDs in Mac OS, Burning CDs With Toast Lite

Connecting Your SmartDisk FireWire Portable CD-R/W

Connecting your new SmartDisk FireWire Portable CD-R/W to your computer couldn’t be easier: simply plug one end of the included FireWire cable into your FireWire Portable CD-R/W, and connect the other end to any free FireWire port on your computer.

Note: Your FireWire Portable CD-R/W draws electrical power from the FireWire cable. If your system does not provide sufficient power to use your FireWire Portable CD-R/W, you may need to purchase the optional AC Power Adapter (Model ACFLB). Please visit SmartDisk.com for more information or to order.

Burning CDs in Mac OS X

If your computer is running Mac OS X 10.2.3 or newer, you can use your FireWire Portable CD-R/W from within the Finder. Simply insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW into your drive to begin. You can also use your FireWire Portable CD-R/W with other software that uses the built-in CD burning features of Mac OS X, such as iTunes or iPhoto. For help with burning CDs on Mac OS X, consult Mac Help.

If your computer is running an earlier version of Mac OS X, you can burn CDs using the included copy of Roxio Toast Lite. You can also use Toast Lite with Mac OS X 10.2.3 or newer if you prefer. Simply follow the instructions in the next section, Burning CDs With Toast, for more information.

Burning CDs With Toast Lite

If your computer is running a version of Mac OS X prior to 10.2.3, or if you are running a version of the Classic Mac OS (9.1 – 9.2.2), you must install the included copy of Roxio Toast Lite before you can burn CDs with your FireWire Portable CD-R/W.

Note: If you already own Roxio Toast Titanium, you can use this software instead. You may need to upgrade to a more recent version of Toast Titanium before it will recognize your FireWire Portable CD-R/W; see Roxio.com for updates.
