Hi Donna,
Erase your CD contents with Disk Utility, after you've inserted the
rewritable CD or DVD.
1. Launch Disk Utility. From Finder, press Command-Shift-U to go to
your utilities folder, type "d i s" to navigate to Disk Utility, and
press Command-Down arrow to launch it.
2. Select your CD in the application side bar. Since the name of the
CD will be specific to your example, I'll just suggest that you use
item chooser menu (VO-I) and type in "HD", then press return to go to
"Macintosh HD" and VO-Down Arrow twice, since the name of your DVD/CD
drive will show up below your hard drive, and your CD will show up
below that.
3. Press the "Erase" tab. (Use item chooser menu to move to the
"Erase" tab and VO-Space to select it.)
4. Press the "Erase" button on the "Erase" tab. You can first reset
the radio button for the default option of a quick erase to a complete
erase, if you prefer. This depends on the quality of your media and
the number of times you've reused the CD.
5. Eject the CD (Command-E) when done.
6. Quit Disk Utility (Command-Q) if you're burning audio contents with
iTunes. (You can burn to CD or DVD with disk utility, too. But I
used to find that even when I was burning data discs of movies that
these burned more than twice as fast in iTunes. So even if I wasn't
using iTunes to play these instructional movies, I'd add their entries
to iTunes and burn the CD or DVD from there.)
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi all,
I want to erase a CD I made earlier and burn new content to that
CD. What app would I use to do this? I've looked around in iTunes,
but didn't see any options for this.
TIA,
Donna
