External Optical Drives

Unfortuantly my version of the Macbook doesn't have dual layer burning capabilities. So I am thinking of buying a 5.25" drive enclosure and dual Layer DVD drive. My question is will any combination of enclosure and optical drive be useable by my Macbook?

Hello,
I think most external drives need a patch to be installed, but should work find afterwards.
The patch is free and can be found at http://www.patchburn.de/
Cheers,
Martin.

  • New MAC Mini w/OSX Lion - will not boot from USB or external optical drive when attempting to use BootCamp to install Windows 7?

    The University recently purchased 6 brand new MAC minis for deployment in classrooms I support.  I am attempting to create a dualk--boot environment comparable to our existing computer systems, only these machines wil be running MAC OS X Lion and Windows 7.  After following the procedures outlined in the BootCamp on-screen prompts, and attempting a few techniques I found in the tech support user-base, I am still unable to get the MAC mini to boot up from the USB flash drive, or from an external optical drive, so that I can complete the installation of Windows 7.  When using the Boot option key at start-up, all devices are displayed suggesting that they are being properly recognized, however the computer boots to a black screen with an error message indicating that "No bootable devices are  found - press any key to continue." I am able to boot into the computer's internal drive, but not from any external devices.  I fully expected that the semi-automated BootCamp procedure properly prepares the USB device for booting, and for installing the Windows 7 OS.

    Meh, with the price they take for a drive in Denmark, I don't think it's worth it... They take around 160 $ for the drive (that's the cheapest MacBook drive I could find), and I am not even sure that's the one I need.

  • Installing Win7 on a macbook pro using a mac mini as external optical drive

    hi everyone,
    My 2 year old son watches movies on my macbook pro. He stuck something in the optical drive making it unusable. Repairing it is 200 to 300 euros (ouch).
    I want to install win7 via bootcamp and I'm using my mac mini (october 2009) as an external optical drive. These are my steps:
    1.hold the "t" on the mac mini
    2.connect it to the macbook with a firewire 800 to firewire 400 cable
    3.Power up and hold the "alt" on the macbook
    4.I see the optical drive on the boot screen and I choose it
    5.Then I get a blank screen and a few seconds later the "missing operating system" message appears.
    Am I missing something? Is it possible to install win7 using a mac mini as an external drive?
    PS1:I already have partitioned the HD with bootcamp.
    PS2:I've upgraded the hard disk drive of the macbook with a seagate momentus 500GB hard disk. Don't think this is the problem, thought I should mentioned it.

    Hi Mike,
    For reference it is called "IP over Firewire".
    Connect the two computers with a fire wire cable. System Preferences > Network > Configure IPv4: > Manually > IP address: 192.168.3.1 (and .2 on other) > Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0. Leave the other fields blank. Do this on both computers on the computer you want to allow access to or both for two way access go to System Preference > Sharing > Select a service to change its settings. Turn remote Login on.
    On the MBP go to the Finder Menu > Go > Connect to Server > Type in the IP address of the Mini 192.168.3.2 (Whatever you gave it)
    With this configuration you still have full use of the Mini and certain apps can use Xgrid and use the processor of the mini when it is not doing anything. I would keep the Mini as 10.4 unless you really need both machines running Leopard. As noted before you cannot boot the MBP from a HDD that is Apple Partition Scheme and vice versa you cannot boot the PPC from a Guide Partition Table.

  • What do i do when external optical drive doesn't show up in finder?  how can i import software, music, etc. when the drive isn't recognized/mounted/whatever?

    the internal optical drive on my early 2006 20"imac has mechanical problems ejecting discs.  i've gone thru all the recommended steps to eject discs, and have luckily been able to eject the last 3 discs but only after spending 30-60 minutes going thru all of the steps over and over, and today just trying "eject disc" in itunes since i had itunes open.  i don't want to put another disc in - the drive clearly has problems with the mechanical eject mechanism, and from what i've read that's not unique to my computer.
    i bought an external optical drive: lite on, clamshell design to avoid problems with the eject mechanism; i contacted the mfr who said it's mac compatible.
    the drive plays dvds, which is all i've tried so far, but doesn't show up in finder.  so i don't know how to use it to load software, or music, or anything besides watch dvds.
    is there something i can do to get the drive recognized/mounted/whatever?  i would prefer to not spend the $220 which was quoted to me by an authorized mac repair company, even tho i think that's probably a reasonable cost given the delicacy of the operation as shown on ifixit.com. 
    thanks!

    I have an external LaCie burner and it will not show up on my Mac unless I insert a CD or DVD - in that case, the media will show up (I have these settings in the Pref Pane):
    If you want to burn files or music to blank media, you can use Finder or Disk Utility for files, but should use an iTunes playlist/iTunes for music and a movie burn app for videos/movies (such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, Burn, etc).
    If you simply want to drag files over as a backup, an external hard drive is a much better solution than a burner.

  • Burn in itunes using external optical drive imac 2009

    My Matsushita optical drive (2009 iMac) no longer works.  Is there an external optical drive that I can purchase for burning music CD's?.  I already have Maverick, but I believe the operating system is not the problem.  The external optical drive has to be compatible with hardware that already has an internal (non-functioning) drive.

    I have a PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-XD09.
    It's worked on systems with or without optical drives for me since 2009.
    It was $69 at Bestbuy.
    It has a USB/Power combo cable that uses TWO USB ports, but I got a 5v AC adapter for $4.99 and now it only needs one USB port to function. I've burned with it under 10.8.4, 10.8.5 and 10.9.0.
    They've upgraded it since I got mine (Link here) so it can burn Blu-Ray now

  • Can I connect an external Optical drive to Omni 10

    I am thinking to buy an Omni 10 tab. I want to confirm thad does it support external Optical Drives via USB OTG.
    I have found from other threads on HP Support that it supports External HDD bt I am not sure about External ODD.
    I asume that External ODD Requires more power than External HDD.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    @ Ritaban: The micro-USB port on an Omni 10 is capable of supplying only a limited amount of power to operate attached devices (500 mA maximum). Most USB devices which contain motors (hard drives, scanners, optical drives) require substantially more sustained power than an Omni tablet can deliver. (for example, HP-branded portable DVD drives require 2 Amps — that's 4x what an Omni can deliver.) 
    However, there is a straightforward solution to attaching a wide variety of high-power USB peripherals to an Omni tablet, if they are connected via a Powered USB Hub. Although the Omni micro-USB port limits data transfers to USB 2.0 speeds, I recommend employing a USB 3.0 hub, because they typically are bundled with higher-output power supplies than their USB 2.0 counterparts.
    Most low-power USB devices — keyboard, mouse, flash stick, card reader — can usually be connected directly to an Omni tablet, via a micro-usb adapter cable, and won't require any supplemental operating power. However, if you intend to operate an Omni tablet for sustained periods with any USB devices attached, time between charges will be substantially reduced, so attach the supplied charger as well, whenever possible ...
    I hope to see you back here at some point, to tell us about how-much you're enjoying your new Omni 10 tablet! Your questions are welcome as well...
    Enjoy!

  • External optical drive that works?

    Hi,  I have had an Imac 27 i5, its 3 weeks old now, I did the free Lion os upgrade before realising that Lion seems to be buggy.
    I have had problems some of which I have got over thanks to this forum, some I have not  I still cant get my isp set-up working but a work-around is giving me service, the wireless connection drops out regularly but using ethernet works. Mail wont send my emails and Itunes is problematic.   The bluetooth trackpad, mouse and keyboard disconnects frequently but thankfully reconnects soon after. Neither of my two existing external hard drives or my external optical drive would work on this Imac,  I replaced one hard drive and that works now,  but tells me that I have 120gb free on a drive that is only 120gb and has a full Time machine backup on it?). I replaced the optical drive with a very cheap one and that works now.
    My old optical drive used Llitescribe and I really want to carry on using it with the Imac,  Can any of you guys recommend an optical drive with Litescribe that will work with the Imac and os Lion?  I am getting tired of having to spend out money replacing things I expected to work with the Mac and dont!
    I brought the Imac because I wanted a hassle free computer, I read and took in all the reasons for using Mac over Microsoft and to be hounest with you the Last 3 weeks have nearly driven me to send the Imac back!   I expected it to "just work"  and be easier to use but it has not turned out that way for me up to now,  I have contacted Apple about the problems and they dont seem to be of very much help - up to now, but thanks to you guys and this forum I am getting things sorted, slowly.  Apple need to get thier act together I think!  What hurts the most is that my 3 year old £600.00. HP PC with windows 7 worked "out of the box" and has "just worked" to this day!  I cannot say that about the £1650.00. Imac!

    The external Apple superdrives are compatible only with the Macs that did not come with an internal optical drive.  Take it back and get a 3rd party drive, preferably one with drawer loading.  I have an 2011 iMac and bought this external drive:  24X OWC Mercury Pro.  I do a lot of ripping of audiobooks for my iPhone so wanted one with a faster read throughput than USB 2 which is all my iMac has. So I use the FW port on the drive.
    OWC is a very well know Mac supplier and has excellent reputation both for item quality and customer support.

  • Please help me find an effective solution for an external optical drive for my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro.

    I have replaced my optical drive with a DataDoubler and they both work fine but the new external optical drive enclosure doesn't work with the optical drive I took out of my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro... Well it does work and recognises my optical drive perfectly, it runs fine but it can't handle some disk installations.
    I have heard that the apple external superdrive isn't reliable for playing DVD's or lasting either. 
    Can I have someone with experience with external optical drives to give me professional advice or just other people with solutions.

  • WHAT is the use of a retina display when you can't watch DVD movies? what's the purpose of a super thin retina macbook pro when you need to buy an external optical drive? doesn't it defeat the purpose already?

    i don't care if my macbook is a little thicker as long as i don't need to burden myself of an external optical drive just for a simple  and common task of watching/listening to discs.

    I'm confused, why did you choose to buy the retina model if you don't like it? This is exactly why Apple still manufacture/sell the 'old' style MBP which is thicker and has an optical drive built-in!

  • Can "Refit" Be Used for USB Boot From External Optical Drive?

    Since the new Mac Mini 2011 has no optical drive, how would one make a generic USB 2.0 optical drive act as a boot device? I have heard that a utility called "Refit" can alter the boot loading order and device choices in Macs. I suppose it is also possible that the new Mini may already be set up to boot first from USB. I would appreciate any comments. It would be nice to have some kind of optical drive boot option for Windows installation and other possible utilities that need to boot before the OS in order to work. Maybe I will have to take my external optical drive to an Apple store to find out. Hope not. I also suspect that a USB keyboard will be mandatory for "Refit" and the boot drive to be used before Mac OS X is loaded.

    No utility should be needed.
    You can hold the Option key down during the boot process to select which drive you wish to use as a boot device.
    Also pressing and holding C boots to the optical drive.
    There is reportedly a pretty broad number of USB optical drives that people have been able to use as a boot device, as inexpensively as $30. I don't know that there is a specific list though. I would research whichever model you wish to buy with a quick google search or searching that model here in the forum.
    Or maybe somebody will have a recommendation which one they have.

  • External Optical Drive not working with iMac

    I have a memorex external drive that I have been using to install Windows 7 with boot camp and have successfully used it on 2 mac-mini's. I am not trying to install Windows 7 boot camp on an iMac that has a broken internal optical drive but the external will not run.
    I have tried:
    - Startup Utility: Can see the external in there.
    - External shows up on desktop with Windows 7
    - External shows up in disk utility
    - Windows shows up in startup menu with holding down Option.
    I see iMac SSD Drive, Recovery HD Drive , Windows CD , EFI Boot cd as options.
    If I select Windows it takes me to a black screen that says it doesnt see a boot CD clicking on EFI boot does nothing.
    Anyone have any possible solutions into getting this to work?

    This is confusing. If you have the external Optical Drive (Memorex) connected via USB to the iMac and insert a Windows 7+ DVD in it, the Apple Bootmanager will see OSX, Recovery HD, Windows (if already installed on the iMac's internal drive) and possibly Windows and EFI boot from the DVD.
    The Windows and EFI Boot will not work if you try to boot the iMac from the external. Test this from the internal Optical drive as well. If your iMac is a UEFI Mac (2013+) it will let you boot from the DVD directly (without Bootcamp).
    Bootcamp Assistant will refuse to let you use the external Optical drive, if you try use it to install Windows. BCA only works with internal Optical drives as far as Windows installation is concerned, on Macs that have a built-in optical drive. The exceptions to this rule are 2012 Macs and some 2011 models.

  • MBP Late 2010, How can I install Win7 Boot Camp using External Optical Driv

    Hello:
    I have a new MBP purchased in February. It's not the 2011 model. I replaced the Optical drive with an SSD drive and put the optical drive in an external enclosure. The Optical drive works great, reads, writes, etc. My Windows 7, Pro 64bit DVD works also, tested on a PC.
    I use the Boot Camp assistant to create a partition. It them reboots and never starts up from the optical drive. I get an Apple logo alternating with a stop sign.
    I have got back to OS X by starting with the Option key and choosing my OS X volume.
    I tried booting to the DVD by using the option key, that did not work. I then choose the EFI option which allowed me to hit any key and appeared to boot from the external optical drive. Windows setup screen came up and I hit enter to start the file loading process. It eventually stopped when the progress bar was all the way across the screen. Then nothing.
    Questions {Please give definitive answers, not guesses, thanks :)}
    1) Is it possible to setup a boot camp Windows installation without an internal optical drive? Yes/No.
    2) If yes, how?
    3) I see the rEFIt utility has helped some but I read mixed reports. Will this help me boot and run Windows setup from an external optical drive? I don't want to install it if it's not known to be a certain fix.
    4) Is my only options to reinstall the optical drive?
    I chatted to OWC the vendor that sells the bracket. They had no idea how to install a Windows BC partition without an internal drive.
    I am seriously discouraged by what seems to be Apple wanting to control everything. I had a Mac Pro and Air book in my future but now, it's on hold.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    I tried what you are doing with a 2007 MBP, and could not get any Windows CD s to boot from an external optical drive, firewire or USB.
    I think this is fundamental to Windows which won't boot from an external USB drive either even on a Windows machine (although I believe there may be complex ways of achieving this). I don't think this is Apple trying to control the world.
    I ended up taking the MCE Optibay out and putting the original optical drive back in.
    Just possible that something has changed between a 2007 MBP and 2010 MBP, but I doubt it.
    If you want the second internal HD, you have two options:-
    1. Put the Apple optical back in, install Windows, then take out the optical and refit the SSD. The external optical will still be able to install windows apps and data etc, just not boot any windows install CDs or utilities (like Paragon rescue disks). You will not be able to do a Windows repair install without refitting the optical.
    2. Parallels, which has come a long way in the last two years. I am 99% certain that Parallels will install from an external optical.

  • External optical drive for macbook3.1

    Hello Users...
    I am using macbook3.1 - 2007 later version, I got the problemwith its optical drive (DVD reader only). Now it's too expensive to replace theoptical drive. So I would like to buy an external optical drive.  And myquestions are-
         1)Can I use an external Blu-ray drive for thesame MacBook? Does it support the current OS/hardware?
         2)If it’ssupport, what is the best external optical (DVD/ Blu-ray) drive for themacbook3.1?
    Your suggestions are very helpful for me..

    Correct.

  • External optical drive won't play movie DVD

    The SuperDrive on my very late 2009 MacBook (OS 10.5.8, Leopard) died, and I got a well-rated CD/DVD player/writer, Samsung SE-218BB) instead. It is meant to be compatible with my Mac. It works with things like Disk Warrior, but recently, I tried to play a video disk and got the message "Utilization error. A valid DVD player could not be found (-70012)." I've read a lot of other messages about this same error and have done what was recommended (throwing out the appropriate plist file from DVD player, for example). The messages were for other Mac models and/or versions of OS X, so maybe there is some advice that is specific to my Mac that would pertain? By the way, the DVD does show up in the Finder in a generic kind of way (that is, I think it is the kind/manufacturer of the disk,but it certainly isn't the name of what is on it), and when I click on that, it opens a bunch of separate files that don't seem to have much to do with watching the movie.
    I also tried one of the tips given in the DVD Player manual (dragging the file to the DVD Player icon. All that did was make the DVD disappear. I had to restart,, with the mouse "button" (really not a button) on the Mac pressed, which released the DVD from the external drive.
    I don't think the problem's with the hardware, since I can play Disk Warrior in it (that opens automatically after I insert the DVD. So what's with the movies? I've checked Software Update, and my software (DVD Player 7.7) is up to date for my Mac and OS version. I don't even know whether I should be using DVD Player for movies. (I haven't tried a music DVD, but I suspect that should open in some other app.) I don't remember playing movies on my computer when the internal SuperDrive was still working, so I can't make that comparison.
    I hope you can help me. I'd be very sorry if I had to give up on playing the DVDs I now have. My VHS/DVD player-recorder used to be just fine, but my cable company set it back up wrong when they installed a new cable box, and now they want $50 even to look at it, so for now (until I find some company, say, the manufacturer of the player, that can tell me how to set it back up) the only way I can play and burn movies is with my computer.
    Thanks,
    jenny

    I have discovered, no thanks to Samsung techs, what the problem is, and it might be revealing for others, as well. It seems that DVD Player, which is the app Apple provides in OS x for (naturally) playing videos, doesn't work with external drives if the computer has an internal drive – even when, as in my case, the internal drive is dead.
    I have learned, however, of the existence of a couple of alternative, free applications that run video and audio disks with external optical drives, and one of them, at least (VLC), seems to be widely acclaimed. Does anyone know whether bypassing DVD Player could be a bad idea? There were some gripes from one or two reviewers about awkwardness with playing audio DVDs with iTunes, but I'm not sure what they meant when they said that you have to click on individual items in a selection. Would that mean, for example, having to click on each movement of a Mozart trio? That I couldn't play an entire album's contents of another kind of music without clicking on each song?
    Getting the internal optical drive replaced would be prohibitive, even if the parts could be obtained, so I guess I'm stuck trying to deal with the external drive I have and finding the best replacement for DVD Player that I can find. The interesting thing is that the drive works beautifully with a MacBook Air I tried it with, so I guess that is because the Air doesn't have an internal drive?
    Wouldn't you think that Samsung techs would know all this? The one I spoke to told me to make sure that my system preference for CDs and DVDs was set to open automatically with DVD Player and sent me all kinds of FAQs, plus a way to get an RMA number for a return. Not a word about difficulties with Macs having an existing internal drive. And all after spending a very long time talking with me about what was going on, what the error message was, and so on. I guess the message hasn't gotten to them.
    I hope this information will be helpful to someone.

  • Can an external optical drive be connected to an iMac?

    I'm looking for and external optical drive to connect to an iMac using Mac OS X 10.5.7 (ONLY). If this is possible what are the options. Make, model...

    Yes - check out OWC, they have a number of Mac-specific optical drives.
    You can also buy a compatible internal drive (eg, the Pioneer DVR series) and an external 5.25" case and roll your own.

  • Mac mini and External Optical drives

    hi all,
    just wondering if i'll be able to use external optical drives with my mac mini which doesn't have a DVD writer, it detects and mounts in OSX, but can't playback a dvd or burn, do i have to use any third party software like roxio?
    any help would be much appreciated.

    You omit specifics but this might help, especially if you already have an external hd on firewire and plan to add an ext optical drive to the firewire chain. Burn Disk created one perfect DVD (consisting of backup files) but then became flaky, dying during burns. Patchburn (www.patchburn.de) did not help this problem but it did change system profile of the new optical drive from: 'unsupported' to 'vendor authorized' which may have helped generally. With Panther it will be required!
    I did lots of searching on Web, Groups & Apple Discussions but could not find anything on "Error: 0x80020020: BE, sense error, etc".
    I discovered the solution to this problem: I put the DVD external drive between the Mac Mini & the external harddrive (instead of at the end) and now BurnDisk works 100%. "Sense Errors" were common back when I was using SCSI drives and usually pointed to cable length issues. This was the simplest alteration I could make to my PPC G4 Mac Mini setup. I am using the 3 ft shielded cables that came with both of my external enclosures so it is reasurring that these did not have to be modified.
    Now Burn Disc creates solid DVDs of backup folders, no more coasters or long pauses in the burning process, followed by the inevitable error code.
    Using Pioneer DVR-112D drive in a generic ext enclosure. The drive is current production so I have not modified the firmware. Using Memorex DVD-R from WalMart.
