Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Good Morning, I am trying to burn some docs to a cd so thaty they can be read on a pc. When I try the docs come out as tef files and are unreadable on a pc.
Any suggestions? thanks

Use Disk Utility to burn your files or folders but what a waste of time and disk, just drag or save the files to a USB flash drive if you don't have a network connection.

I haven't burnt a CD or DVD for a long while on my Mac, and I use Toast for the job, so it slipped my mind how many different ways there are to burn a CD/DVD. Yellowbox just raised the most direct one.
1. Insert a blank CD/DVD
2. The Mac will ask what you want to do, choose Action: Open Finder
3. The Disk will appear on the desktop as a CD icon
4. Select your files in Finder, which we hope you have finally exported and drag them onto the disk icon
5. Change the name of the CD/DVD if you want by clicking on the label under the icon
6. When you are happy with what you want on the disk you can:
right click on the icon > Burn
or
click on the black and yellow Burn icon next to the disk in the Finder Sidebar
7. It will ask you whether you really want to do this, click OK
So to sum up:
Stick in disk > go to Finder > Drag on the files > Burn > Eject

I think .tef files has to do with iCloud.
Ok Guys, thanks to all who helped. I finally got it done although the hard copies are in the post never mind, I'll send the disc too as a back-up. I followed Yellowbox's post and it worked. As I said it was probably something stupid I was doing. Peter, you were very patient so, as they say in your beautiful country, 'Good on yer, mate'. (Well some of them do, mustn't stereotype must I). I've made a note of what to do should I need to in the future.
Cheers guys and Gals
