Will Titanium 6 work on Intel Mac OSX.5.7?

The Data and Copy modes will certainly work. I don't know if there are any problems with Toast 6 and the current version of QuickTime that may cause problems with the Audio and Video encoding features. Give it a try. Of course the current version of Toast is far superior to Toast 6.

I have to say - so far yes - on a MacBook Pro.

The only annoying thing was I kept getting OS messages about a blank DVD while I was doing it. But burning data - which is what I need to do - I have to say a qualified OK.

You can turn off those messages by going to the CDs and DVDs panel in System Preferences and changing what you want to do when inserting a blank disc. Do nothing is my choice.

Yeah. I experimented with that earlier and it didn’t work and now it does for some reason.

I now have it set to boot Toast 6 on insert of a blank DVD/CD and it all seems fine. Indeed a DVD is burning as I write and I now have Toast 6.1.1 courtesy of a thread on this board.

So in answer to the OP, Titanium 6 does indeed work with Intel Macs OS 10.5.8. I expect delivery of my free copy of Snow Leopard next week.

I have found 6.11 to be flaky under 10.5.8 on both my son's new iMac and my new MacBook Pro.  A disk that copied fine on a AL Powerbook running Tiger ran into a memory error on the Intels.  I cannot get Toast to mount its own disk images.  My system log says "com.roxio.Toast[388] extension /Library/Application Support/Roxio/TDIXController.kext does not contain code for this architecture."  And whereas I used to be able to copy from one optical drive to another, I'm finding the process very unreliable now with burned disks taking 5 min before they mount.

I deleted everything Toast, repaired permissions, zapped my PRAM and reinstalled as recommended by another forum member, but I still have no luck mounting my .toast disk images with Toast itself.

My take on all of this is that Toast 6 is sufficiently unreliable in 10.5.8 as to require upgrading.  I presume Toast 9 and 10 can mount their own disk images under 10.5.8, right?

If I was going to worry about upgrading Toast, the first thing I’d want to know is how well it works under OS 10.6, not OS 10.5.
