OWC Mercury Pro not showing up to choose for applications

I bought the OWC Mercury Pro Optical Drive for my cd and dvds as recommended in some discussions, but It doesn't show up anywhere. It's not on my desktop or in finder or any of my applications to choose from. I did get to choose it for itunes.
I have downloaded the latest Patchburn driver, and I have also unplugged everything for a while to see if that would reset the firewire but no changes.
How can I get this drive to show up everywhere for me to be able to select it? When I can get it to show up in itunes, it works fine. It also is listed in the system profiler.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
My problem is similar to this one.
I bought an OWC Mercury Pro FireWire/USB2 52x32x52x CD-RW. It will read CD's that are already burned just fine. However, when I try to burn a new CD, the device doesn't show up as a writer and hence I cannot proceed with the burn process.
The OWC manual says to install FireWire Drivers if this happens. My imac, however, does not have a firewire port--only a USB 1.1 port. Before I bought it, I researched the product and it sounded like it should work with a 1.1 USB connection (backward compatible), albeit at a slow speed. The latter is not a major concern, as I only need to burn a CD occasionally.
Has anyone tried using this product with a USB 1.1 connection and/or does anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this?
The OWC tech people keep insuring me that there's nothing wrong with the drive, but they've not offered any suggestions on how to fix the problem.
This problem occurs with all of the burn software I've tried:
NTI Dragon Burn, Disc Burner 1.01, Adaptec Toast 4.1.2 and Discribe 9x.

    Hi, Tom -
    Another possibility - some versions of Toast (including all the 4.x, I think) have an interference issue with Apple's Authoring Support software and the Disc Burner Extension. The main symptom of this conflict is an inability of the Mac to 'see' an external burner.
    In order to use those versions of Toast, it is necessary to disable these extensions in Extensions Manager -
        Authoring Support
        Firewire Authoring Support
        SDAP Authoring Support
        USB Authoring Support
        Disc Burner Extension
    In order to use Disc Burner, it is necessary to disable the Toast extensions instead.
    Remember to restart after making changes to the set of active extensions.
    Many folk who use both Toast and Disc Burner find it convenient to create different sets of extensions, so that switching from one group to the other is easier.
    Tip - you can change which set of extensions to use during startup. To do this, upon starting up the machine immediately press the Spacebar, keep it held down. Extensions Manager will open just before extensions would normally start loading, at which time a different set of extensions can be selected.

  • Why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen

    why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen. My mac bookpro always showed in 1080p on a Sanyo Plasma screen. Now when I connect mac book pro I get a blank screen. It will display in 720 but not 1080p. Also will show in 1080i but pictures flicker.

    davenug,
    given how much we currently know about your MacBook Pro, why do you think that we would know the reason? Please help us to help you by providing relevant information about your MacBook Pro — which model is it? Which version of OS X is installed on it? Is its battery fully charged? Is its AC charger working properly? &c.

  • Vendor Ref No. does not show in Journal Entry for AP Credit

    AP Invoice journals show the vendor reference number in field Ref 2.  However, when creating an AP Credit memo, the vendor reference number does not show in the journal for the credit memo, instead the field Ref 2 is used for the base document number. 
    I have two clients who have pointed out that they would expect to see the vendor ref number in the Ref 2 field in the journal when an AP Credit is created, as this is the functionality for Goods Receipts and AP Invoices.   
    Both clients are currently manually updating the Ref 2 field in the journal for AP Credit, so that in the BP account transactions view they can sort field Ref2 by vendor reference number.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on a work around for this?
    Thanks,
    Lianne Plant

  • HT1727 help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it;s not showing on my list for ringtones

    help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it's not showing on my list for ringtones

    This song was purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If so, you can't create a ringtone from music that was purchased from the iTunes store, but if there is a ringtone available for purchase and download at the iTunes Store with this song, you need to do that.
    For music in your iTunes library on your computer that was not purchased from the iTunes store, there are a number of ways to create a ringtone with such music. With a Mac, there is an inexpensive or free app avaiable via Apple's online App Store named Ringer. Ringer has access to all music and sound files in your iTunes library that was not downloaded from the iTunes Store for creating your chosen segment of the song to be used for the ringtone. The app places the created ringtone in your iTunes library under Tones for transfer to your iPhone when syncing.
    Creating ringtones on a Mac can also be done with GarageBand, and there is a manual way of doing this with iTunes.

  • OWC RAID 5 not showing up in PPro Media Browser

    Hello all,
    I've seen other threads about OWC RAIDs not showing up in PPro and the solution has been to use the Mac's Disk Utility to reformat the drive.  Disk Utility can't do RAID 5 though and that's what my 16TB OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 is set to.  If I use the File->Import command I can see the OWC RAID but it is not present in the Media Browser (nor in the window that pops up to re-link offline media).   FCP 7, AVIC MC 6.5 and After Effects CC2014 all 'see' and interact with the OWC RAID just fine. The problem seems to be isolated to Premiere's Media Browser function.
    If anyone has a suggested work around I'd love to hear it.

    So it turns out the answer was in front of me all along, just use Disk Utility to format the drive and all is well.
    What threw me was that Disk Utility only does RAID 1 and RAID 0 but since the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 is a hardware RAID I just set the RAID mode using the switch on the enclosure and then use Disk Utility to format it like I would any other disk.
    The simplicity of the solution coupled with my lack of experience with RAID boxes proved to be my undoing. haha.
    With that being said, I'd still like to see if Adobe can fix the issue w/the default OWC formatting tool.

  • HP Laserjet 4 not showing up in chooser

    I acquired a HP Laserjet 4 with a jet direct card installed. The printer does not show up in the chooser. The printer test page shows that AppleTalk is active and the printer should be named Laserjet 4 but I cannot see it when I click on the Laserwriter 8 icon in the chooser.
    Appletalk is active and the computer is using the printer port (appletalk control panel)
    The printer and computer are connected by an DIN 8 cable (old stylewriter cable).
    I really like to get this printer working with my Beige G3 any suggestions?

    I think I solved my own problem. I do not have the postscript SIM module installed in the printer. That is probably why the printer is not showing up in the choosen. Postscript may have to be installed in the printer first.

  • Server name not showing up in Chooser

    mac OS 10.1.3 server. The server name is not showing up in the Chooser,. I can get to it by typing in the IP address, but this is a pain for my teachers.
    It showed up for a long time, but now it will not show up.
    Any ideas?

    Apple talk is on the server and the clients. I also have another server that is connected to the same switch and it can be seen in the chooser. So I do not think it is a config problem with the switches or hubs. I have not changed anything (that I know of). I have researched this and can not find anything on it.

  • Why does Premiere Pro not show in the Creative Cloud

    I just bought the montly membership, paid, got the confirmation, but still Premiere Pro does not show in my Creative Cloud options - under audio/video it only shows  and Photoshop, Prelude and Audition.
    When I use the link in the email confirmation that I received I can press 'getting started'.
    This leads me to the online Creative Cload Download - when I scroll to Premiere Pro, click on download I go to the next page, but still the program does not show?
    What should I do differently? I am logged in already.
    Please help me!

    Do you have a 64-bit machine?  Normally the listing will only include programs that your machine is capable of running.  Check your machine capabilities against the requirements for Premiere Pro and see if it comes up short.

  • Mac book pro not showing low battery waring

    hi....i bought ma mb pro arnd three months back.....from the past few days i have been observing tha my mac is not showing low battery warning when the battery is drained.....plz suggest me what should be done to overcome this problem....thanx...

    The first step is to try re-calibrating the battery, sorabh.
    See the instructions for this at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
    You may also need to reset your SMC - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If the computer shuts down instead of sleeping when it runs out of charge try avoiding using it when it gets close to empty during the re-calibration process and just let it idle until it sleeps. Sometimes, when the battery is very low and badly calibrated , if you are using it a sudden demand for current can cause it to shut down suddenly instead.
    If the above processes don't fix it, then have a look under the Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info and check in the "Power" section under "Hardware". Post the figures that are shown there for "Full Charge Capacity", "Cycle Count" and "Condition"
    Cheers

  • Mountain Lion: MacBook Pro NOT showing as a shared device on iMac.

    I am running Mountain Lion on my iMac and MacBook Pro, for whatever reason the MBP does not show up as a "shared" device on the iMac, but the iMac shows as shared device on the MBP, I have ALL of the proper "file sharing" settings mirrored on both, also when I try to connect via Go>>Connect to Server on the iMac, the MBP is not even visible nor will it connect to afp://i.p address. Any insight as to what could be causing this, or how to resolve it? Please help!!

  • Mac Book Pro not showing under shared section on my iMac anymore.

    I used to be able to access my files on my MacBook Pro remotly with my iMac through file sharing eventhough the lid was closed. Now, everytime I close the lid of my MacBook pro it also disappears from the shared section on the iMac.
    At the end I would like to be able to access my MacBook with my iMac remotely at home, so I can keep the laptop closed and placed behind the iMac. Thats the idea. And I had it working somehow before. So why is my laptop playing dead all of the sudden when I close the lid?
    Another thing that got effected by this sudden change is the charging of my Apple devices (iphone/shuffle) when closing the lid. it just stops. Sometimes it doesnt charge the phone and other times it charges the phone but its switched off? I mean ***? I turn it on and its 100%. So there must be something wrong with the MacBook pro.
    (additional info...I had the screen recently fixed since it had a crack in it, but it everything was working when I got it back....now out of the blue it stops)
    Dont get me wrong...when the lids up everything is working perfectly. Charging is good. Sharing is working and I can use back to my mac on my iMac. Close the lid and the problems pop up.

    Actually Pages for Mac and Pages for iOS are two completely different versions of the app and have nothing to do with one another. They have to be purchased separately, for the Mac from the Mac App Store and for your iPad from the iTunes App Store.
    You may have a corrupted index file. Try reindexing your iMac and then see if it will update Pages. Others have solved this issue by repairing the permissions on their Mac. Thirdly, if the other two ideas prove fruitless, create a Test user account on your iMac, log into the Test account, sign into the Mac App Store and then see if you can update Pages.

  • Live!Surround speaker setting not showing in surround mixer for SB Live Platinum

    the Li've!Surround option for speaker settings in not showing in my Surround Mixer
    i have:
    Windows 2000 sp4
    SB Li've! Platinum 5.
    ASUS CUSL2
    Sound Blaster Li've! - Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03
    Installed the speaker preset for li've!surround but the only headphone, 2 speaker, 4 speaker, and 5. speaker shows up on speaker configuration of the Surround Mixer
    i've played the AC3 files on the cdrom and Dolby pro logic surround, I get sound from all fi've speakers on my Denon D-850 w/ Dolby surround pro-logic
    I can't use the surround mixer to test all the speakers, only front left and right speakers work on the test, i have to open to wav files directly to test the center speaker, the rear speaker test doesn't work from the wav file
    My Denon system only has analog stereo inputs, so this is my only option for letting Sound Blaster know I have 5 speakers.
    I've uninstalled all SB Li've software and drivers from the unipack, and reinstalled the orignal drivers and apps from the CD-ROM SBP5-CDSD-W-US MID : 32680 5-Sep-2000 and the Li've!Surround speaker setting reappears in the Surround Mixer.
    Is the Li've!Surround setting no longer available in the new Surround Mixer in Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03 ?

    so I found this post...
    http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...7?dmode=source
    it seems Li've Surround is no longer supported in the new drivers
    ....so what would be the best setting to play ac3 files or DVD's through my receiver with only 2 analog inputs (left and right) available w/ Dolby surround prologic. Should I set it to 2 speaker or 4 speaker setting in the Surround Mixer in order to send the best signal to the prologic decoder on my receiver with 5 speakers (2 front, center, 2 rear)
