Extension conflicts can cause many Macintosh® computer problems such as freezing, slow performance, peripherals not being detected, etc. Please use the following steps to boot your Macintosh computer with a limited extension set to help prevent extension conflicts.

This document includes information on how to create a limited extension set using either Iomega HotBurn software, Adaptec (Roxio) Toast software or the Disc Burner and/or Apple iTunes built-in software (if installed on the system).

Select your software:

HotBurn | Toast | Apple

HotBurn

1. If your Macintosh computer is not started, start your computer and wait for it to boot.
   
   
2. Click the Apple® icon, Control Panels and Extensions Manager.
   
   
3. Next to Selected Set, choose Mac X.XX OS Base (X stands for the version number) from the drop-down list.
   

   Note: The Mac® OS base set is used to help minimize the possibility of conflicts.

4. Press the Duplicate Set button.
   
   
5. Type in a name for the duplicate set, such as HotBurn Test.
   
   
6. Locate the field titles ON/OFF, Name, Size, Version and Package located above the listed extensions.
   
   
7. Click the Package field, which arranges the extensions by packages.
   
   
8. Scroll down the list of extensions and find the HotBurn package.
   
   
9. Ensure that the following extensions are listed and that an X is present in the ON/OFF box next to the extensions.
   
   
   • Carbonlib
     
     
   • HotBurn ATAPI Support
     
     
   • HotBurn AutoLaunch Filter
