Most users will need to use Solution 2 listed below until we can fix this on our side...

Solution 1 (Works for some users but definitely not all):
1. Quit the Toast.app Setup Assistant
2. Hold the CTRL key down on your keyboard or right-click on the Toast Titanium icon and select open
3. Proceed through the Setup Assistant as normal

Solution 2:
1. Quit the Toast.app Setup Assistant
2. In Finder, click the pulldown GO menu and click GO TO FOLDER (or press SHIFT+COMMAND+G)
3. In the Go To Folder window, type (or paste) in: ~/Library/Preferences
4. Locate the "com.roxio.toast.plist" file and delete or move to the Trash
5. Close the window and launch Toast Titanium again
6. Proceed through the Setup Assistant as normal

Since the latest update, I am unable to use Toast Titanium 11 completely.  The transition has put me in a hold pattern and in the meantime I can just SIT AND STEAM until they get some technical support in place.

Please calibrate your printer with a plain sheet of paper before printing labels. Also remember to change Printer Properties for CD/DVD printing.  There may be only one thing to change.  For my Canon 9000Pro, there are 3 different drop-down lists to change!

I created the following JWP files for Label Creator 2011 using information from what others have posted in the forum. All you need to do is download the file for your printer and copy it to this location:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\13.0\Label Creator\Page Files

I found that there was no need to edit the XML file for these to work.I have personally tested the Epson R1800 and the Canon Tray E files. I have included two files for each printer for printing close to the center hub and without.  I have no way to test the Canon Trays C, F, & G. If they work, please let us know.

These are not from Roxio.  If you have any issues, you can send me a personal message.
The HP files has been confirmed to work with the HP C309a and D5160.

A partition is a logical volume with disk-like features. One could create a temporary partition in preparation of burning an archive disc. It creates an empty disk image that is writable. Arrange your files in there as you see fit. Then burn from that. It allows you to set any Finder setting as for a normal disk, like default views. If you want ultimate control of the arrangement.

Write to an optical disc like to any drive (HD or USB flash), with any app or the Finder. Toast only supports this for BD-RE discs. Also known as (incremental) packet writing.

DVD encryption on commercial movie discs is different from optional encryption on Mac-only discs. Both are for content protection. Mac-only disc encryption writes a password protected file to disc, which can be opened after entering a password.

Audio levels can be normalized so that all tracks appear to have the same loudness. This can be handy when audio tracks come from different sources, and thus may have a different default loudness. (E.g. a compilation music CD.)

TK_Tech said:

Bin/Cue is a disc image format that consists of two files, foo.bin and foo.cue. Both are needed. Originates from CDRWin, afaik. The .bin file holds the content of the disc and the .cue file holds meta data and the like. Windows users may prefer it for multi-track discs, instead of .iso . With Toast, now you can use those files and even create them, if needed.

These forums, the Toast help file, and Wikipedia/Google for the more general keywords.

Anyone else not even able to get past the Setup Assistant? I installed from my original Toast 11 DMG then ran the update it prompted me to install and now it's a piece of useless rubbish. Tried emailing Roxio but their eMail page is very helpfully "Under Construction". The Finish button on the Setup Assistant is greyed out and all I can do is Quit.

No it doesn't. When I start -just START- lowering the volume the sound gets super loud and even more disorted! Then I set it down to zero and it's just as loud and disorted as before ...

Attached reg fix for both 2012 PRO and 2012 versions.

MANY THANKS that worked for me after:
  - disconnecting internet
  - disabled all security modes in Norton 360 (safe surfing, identity safe, backup, backup status overlays, automatic LiveUpdates, Smart Firewall, Norton Tamper Protection)
  - used RepairLicense2011.exe and waited approx. 2 minutes
  - Could launch several Roxio applications which failed before
  - enabled all above security modes in Norton 360
  - Checked again that several Roxio applications can still be launched and it WORKED
  - Many THANKS!

Hard- and Software used:
DELL Precision M4500
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (6.1 build 7600)
Processor Intel Core i7 x940 2.13 GHz
16GB RAM
Roxio Creator 2011 Pro
Symantec Norton 360

However it took me a while to find this solution and it was quite frustrating.
Maybe you want to be a bit more pro-active on this and release a newsletter/E-Mail update to all registered customers.

We created a fix today for the Certificate Missing/Corrupt error during launch of some of the applications. It's not official yet so we need some people to verify it works.

To apply the fix.

1. IMPORTANT (Turn OFF Antivirus)
2. Close down all Roxio apps and then run the following RepairLicense2011.exe.
3. Click the button "Reset License and TimeLocks" and wait a few minutes (takes about 2 minutes)
4. Relaunch applications that failed.

Please post if this works for you. Also we need information on what machines this is reproducing on.
Please post your Operating System and Machine Manufacturer/Model. Also what antivirus software you're using.

It looks like they decided to renew their domain because the bias website is back up as of today. You should be able to authorize your software now, not sure that you even need use the 'alternate authorization' method it might work more smoothly the standard way since the servers appear to be back online.

Howdy JSmith and welcome to the forum,
As usual, tsantee offers another good suggestion.  When I first started using Toast 11, I had an issue burning directly to disc, but after reading many posts here on the forum (and thoroughly reading the manual) I tried saving my project as a Disc Image first (which you do by going to the File menu and selecting Save As Disc Image).  The Disc Image is simply a file on your computer that functions exactly like a DVD.   I will then check to make sure the Disc Image  works as expected (which you do by selecting Mount Disc Image from the Utilities menu and then viewing it with either the Roxio or Apple DVD player, and don't forget to UNMOUNT the Disc Image when you are finished, which you do by either Ejecting it from the Finder or using the Eject button on the tool bar at the top right of your screen, a little triangle with a horizontal line under it).  After that i found it easy to burn discs from that Disc Image by opening a new project using the COPY option and then selecting Image File as the source.

Good luck.

To answer both of your questions, yes I had output the video to my harddrive before. But for some reason the video and the sound weren't matched up so peoples' lips didn't match what was being said and it was a terrible mess! But that was before my computer was so loaded down and I don't think it would do that now.

And the unlinked videos aren't anything I would have needed so that was good.

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED!!
I defragged my computer, and it must have cleared up more space because I computer was able to function better and it wrote the disc! Thank goodness. Now I can buy a newer Roxio version and never have to deal with that again! Thank you so much for your help!

I agree nothing but problems stepping from one to another and nowhere to turn apart from being almost forced to a users forum. Disgraceful and puts the company in a poor light in my opinion. I will be avoiding all their products in future unless they respond more positively.

On the machine i experienced these problems i've installed burn, a free and unbloated burning application. Works fine, now i wish there's someway i could get my money back from these software scamming turds at Corel.

Farewell Toast, it's been a great journey together all these years but the love affair ends here.

I'll discourage all my contacts ANY use of Toast ever again, Corel, are you reading this?

I've never been so thoroughly livid following a software purchase. The fact that this product is by and large unusable on current machines (I purchased it based on good will from previous versions when I got my new MBP) yet it's still being sold is completely inappropriate.

Hugely disappointed and will be sure to warn everyone I know to stay as far away from this dishonestly marketed piece of junk as possible.

Dear Internet,

Why is it so HARD to get a simple answer with Roxio Support? My capture card HD will not work because my software that was sent in the HD PRO box was NOT the HD PRO installation disc. Because of this my $150 capture card DOES NOT WORK. Why do we keep one company have us by the balls? I paid for this capture card with my hard owned money and this is what I recieve? Roxio Support has brushed me off and I am getting no help from them. I am a buyer, a consumer and they are not going to take care of me? Screw THIS!

As of now I am going to post my Roxio Software with a CD Key so someone will benifit from Roxios mistake. I hope someone out there will be kind enough to lend me thier HD PRO software and key. We must help each other, if nobody will help us at all!

TADA!

After running the repair tool and rebooting....I was able to launch the program and it worked! Amazing....didnt do anything I have not already done!

Digital...thanks for all your help and guidance.....

I have not run the capture software (currently using the USB cable on my "wireless" printer....stupid problem of the printer being connected to the network and being detected by the network, but unable to connect to the network....)...will switch the cable later today and try to capture some gameplay!

Thanks again Digital!

Seems like Toast has finally drawn it's own epiphany. Just go back to making a piece of software capable of burning cd's & dvd's, as that's all we wanted it to be in the first place.. none of the bloated unused stuff, just make us able to burn without hassle..... without the bloated shite....

corel, do us right & fix it NOW.

Ever since Corel acquired Roxio it's gone steadily down hill.  Based on Corel's website and the general response to Toast 10 and now 11 issues I don't think they are doing little if any development beyond marketing.

OK, final entry...

Short answer - In the end, I uninstalled (thoroughly!) Toast 11, and re-installed Toast 10.5. It offered to update it to 10.9, but so far I have refused. Roxio says that v10 is not supported for Mt. Lion, but that with the last update, it should work. 10.5 opened fine, and immediately started mounting all my sd2f files with no problem! I had previously tried 10 after already installing 11, and had the same issues with crashing, so obviously it was drawing off some of v11 install. But by itself, it works well.

As well, it still translated my flac files into sd2f format with no problems as well. So my recommendation for the original poster is to get hold of Toast 10 and use that. As I have a dedicated machine for my music library that I don't use for burning CDs (though I don't think it would matter) or any other conversions and such, I will happily use Toast 10 on that machine until it doesn't work anymore. I can still use Toast 11 on my other machines that I do other stuff with.

I did come to this solution after trying a number of other things. There are several file conversion tools out there that are good, so that if I had to go back to my original flac library and rebuild, I could have done this. I tried XLD, xACT, and Max. Of the 3, I liked Max the best. The problem with it is it hasn't been updated since 2009, and is still in a version under 1.x. But it worked fine, and easily had the best interface, allowing manipulation of the files, editing of the metadata, and editing of the album image all in one happy screen. As well, once you had it together, it would export AND put the files properly into the iTunes library such that everything showed up in iTunes without a separate import necessary. So it worked great, with one caveat. If you have all the metadata already embedded in your Flac files, this will be awesome. But, if not, then you have to enter it in yourself.

For me, I have a large library of live recordings that don't have metadata embedded. The whole point of using Toast to create sd2f files and being able to mount them as a CD is to be able to import them from the CD into iTunes, such that iTunes will then scope the Gracenote CDDB and enter the info automatically. iTunes doesn't do this if you simply Add Files to the library, or drag them in. It won't access Gracenote unless files are imported from a CD. Due to the large community of live tapers, most of the recordings have been entered, and simply need a little format editing for me to make them the way I want. Much faster than manually entering all the info (especially each song title).

The problem with Max, xACT and XLD is that they don't access Gracenote, presumably because it's not free. They access freedb and musicbrainz, neither of which seem to have any of the live recording info necessary. So while Max worked really great for my CD backups, and my own recordings that I've entered my personal metadata into, it was not so great for the live library. This is what drove me back to checking out Toast 10 w/o v11 installed.

In the long run, those sd2f files will become obsolete if Roxio doesn't bring that feature back. Fortunately, I still have all the flac files as backup, and redundant backup of my music library as well, so that trustfully I'll never have the need to go back and re-process all that again.

I had forgotten that Roxio had been bought out by Corel, and this is a major red flag! I've had many software titles from the creative side of the fence over the years that Corel bought and either terminated or obsoleted features on, etc. without warning, and no intention of updating or bringing back. So I'm not fond of Corel, and have little hope for Toast maintaining good functionality going forward. So find your alternatives now! it's just a matter of time.

Cheers,
