Thank you to all who responded to my plea about software not seeing my burner. John Baltutis's suggestion was the one that got things going. This is what I did: Turned the burner off and unplug it from the wall and pulled the firewire plug also. Replug it and turned on the power. Open up Apple System Profiler and it showed up. Fired up iTunes and Toast and there it was. Thanks again and best wishes Edward
