This is happening since updating to Mojave. Is there some setting I'm missing? I do see the disk when I open Disk Utility.
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Mojave (10.14)
Gotcha. So allow me to summarize our discussion:
- There is a bug in Mac OS Mojave that a blank disc does not show up on the desktop for burning
- A work-around is to create a burn folder in Finder by clicking on File > New Burn Folder
- Your burner must be plugged in and powered up for the New Burn Folder option to be visible in the Finder File menu.
Very helpful thank you.
I could burn a blank Cd by going through this method.
Hope they fix the bug quickly.
me too.. I thought my discs had gone bad and threw them out and bought some new ones. Turns out.. they work everywhere except Mojave.
Thanks for the info! I'm not familiar with Paragon, but will give it a try. 🙂
I believe this is off topic. This discussion is about CDs not showing on the desktop, not hard drives.
Thank you! Been fighting this for an hour. Your workaround works just fine.
This will sound like blasphemy, but the work-around is only viable with a Mac optical drive.
Thank you so much for this workaround. I have the problem but the workaround saved me (and it's not a Mac optical drive)
If I remember correctly when I inserted a blank CD I used to be given a choice to mount with the Finder OR access it with iTunes, but not both- which makes sense. You are saying you access in iTunes, which may be wrong but is an important information for troubleshooting.
Exactly what happens here. The blank CD icon does not appear on the desktop, but I can record to it in iTunes. I could not drop files onto it since I can't see it!
This is happening to me as well. Hope Apple has a fix soon! Frustrating...
