A few months ago, I backed up my mac to CD using Toast Titanium. It took about 6 disks - Toast backed them up with no errors. I did each one individually. I now need to access some files on one of the CD's and I am encountering major problems.
When I first put in the CD - I get an error saying "file sharing could not be enabled"- even before it mounts on the desktop. When I clear the error, the CD mounts - I can see the disk icon, I can see the title of the disk, I can open it up and see all the files listed and the size. But when I try and open them - first by double clicking- the correct application opens them but then nothing. When I try open the file through the application first for example a .mov file - the quicktime error says "not a file quicktime understands" other files like pdf, jpg etc. say something about missing information. All the icons and file sizes are correct on the CD. I have tried to copy them off onto the drive and they still don't open. I then went into "get info" for the disk and when to the sharing option and I get an error stating " this item could not be shared because file sharing is preparing the disk. Please wait and try again. I tried again and again with no luck. I did notice that under the general information of the disk it says size of contents 700.5 and its a 700meg CD. Would this cause a problem? As I stated Toast burned it without error and didn't state there wasn't enough room. And as things go, the one disk that has the most of what I need on is this one - all the other disks in the backup series work fine. Thanks in advance for any advice.
