What external dvd burner is compatible with my 2007 mac mini running OS X 10.5.8?

I have an LG GE24LU20 and works great with either my iMac or Mac Mini.
LG GE24LU20 Optical Drives - 24x External Super-Multi DVD Rewriter - LG Electronics US
Heck' I can even open and close the tray from my menu bar icon,
plus it is way faster and less finicky than the superdrives.

What external dvd drive is compatible with IMAC with optical drive

what external drive is compatiblee with IMAC with optical driv

As far as my experience goes I have had all external dvd drives work throu USB, the USB stands for Universal Seriel Bus and that means the drives are already in the device, so you can probably just go to best buy or to new egg and order a cheap one.
If you have usb 3.0 I would go with that since its one of the faster ones and you will save money on using a thunder bolt device, and trust me a $17 dvd player works just as good as a $120 dvd player.

What external DVD burner can I use on my older IMAC using OS 10.4.11?

What external DVD burner can I use on my older IMAC using OS10.4.11? I am working on a IMovie project using I movie 6? and I want to finish this before purchasing my new computer. Thanks, Dr. Steve

unless you have one of the latest models of an imac g4 with usb 2.0 i would suggest a firewire burner instead. they're a little harder to find but they're still out there.

External DVD burner that works with Mavericks?

I see a lot of options in the $25 to $50 range from the likes of Samsung, Buffalo, LG, etc..
But I need one that is compatible with my late-2012 Mini running Mavericks.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Any external disc drive will work. I would recommend you to get one that works over USB or FireWire, so you won't have any compatibility issue

How do I find what taking up all my hardrive space on my mac mini running snow leopard ?

Hi Gibby,
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

HT1583 What blank DVD disks are compatible with burning a film from Idvd on an applemac?

I have just finalized a project in imovie and this message came up on the screen - "Your project exceeds the maximum duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the project info window".
I have changed the encoder setting from best fit to Professional but I am having burning the film to a dvd. The computer tells me to load a dvd or my driver is busy - which it isn't it only has a blank dvd disk in it. So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
HELP!

Hi
So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
And if You tell - what brand and type You are trying to use - I will be so much easier !
But most often the problem is
• Do NOT - insert the DVD disk before iDVD specifically as You to do this. As Desktop will catch it and try to format it as a Data-DVD - Not what You want (a Video-DVD) as Data-DVD can not be played on standard DVD-players.
To get it even better I do
• Use Verbatim - Never Memorex or NoName etc cheap brands (as they don't work OK for Me)
• DVD-R - as they play on even older DVD-players
• Burn Speed - set down to x2 or x4 MAX ! - Best IS NOT BEST at all here !

What external tape drives are compatible with sunblade 100s?

hi,
please, can anybody tell me:
1. where i can find out whether or not a particular tape drive is compatible with my sunblade 100 workstation running solaris 9?
2. do external tape drives usually connect to the workstation's serial port?
3. what kind of specs/features should i be looking out for?
thanks in advance for your replies.

I would imagine you could use any tape drive with your sun blade... most are connected by either scsi or fiber channel... there could be some that are network controlled... not aware of any that are controlled by serial port...
GOOGLE is a wonderful thing... try it, you will like it...
compatibility is more concerned with which OS and program you want to use with the tape drive...
specs depend on what you are backing up... a single user would most likely only need a single drive... if you were a multi-national corp, then maybe you might contact Sun Sales...
maybe you should to some research yourself...

I have an imac 11.1 running 10.6.8. The internal optical drive has stopped working. I ordered an apple superdrive and it did not reconize it. What external drive can I hook up?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The Apple USB SuperDrive is only compatible with Macs without built-in SuperDrive (Mac mini, MacBook Air, the Late 2012 iMac and the MacBook Pro with Retina display). However, you can make it to work on your Mac > http://www.tuaw.com/2012/04/02/use-the-macbook-air-superdrive-with-any-almost-ma c/

Burning a dvd of photos compatible with pc and mac

I don't know if this is the correct forum or not.... can someone direct me on how to burn a dvd of pics and videos that is compatible with both a pc and a mac. i exported the photos to a folder on my desktop and have tried to burn with finder, and when i try the disk in a pc there are no thumbnails, nor does the pc have the capability of opening the photos. help!

I am also having this problem. I have a dvd of jpeg's burnt on a mac that I received from my photographer. I can open the disc on my mac, and have copied it using disc utility, but can play neither the original or the copied dvd on my husbands pc (using sony DVD+R). Windows says the dvd is blank and asks if I want to format it. I have the same problem with DVD's of data burnt on friends macbook pro, none are recognised as having any data on them by my husbands dell laptop running windows xp.
Would love a solution to this problem, as 1 year ago I could burn data DVD's from this same computer and play them on that same pc.

Mac Compatible External DVD Burner Not Compatible?

I just recently bought the New Samsung Slim External DVD Writer SE-S084. It does not respond at all. It gives me no desktop icon when I plug it in via USB(which is it's only power source).
It claims on the box that it is MAC Compatible, OS requirement for MAC is version 10.4.6 Tiger. I'm updated to 10.4.11 so shouldn't be a problem there. In my search I came across somebody who had the same issue with the same Samsung product, and with a firmware update recommended by another poster, their problem was resolved. Everything worked fine.
Both of my EFI and SMC firmware is updated. Could it be I have to reinstall the firmware?
I also tried to use PatchBurn with no avail. Do I need PatchBurn?
I am so lost. Can anyone help me with this? It seems like a simple solution has to be out there, I just can't find it on my own.
Thanks!

I am a little bit miffed at the fact that you have a newer Macbook and you have a problem with the Optical drive. Did you restart the computer and select OSX instead of Windows, then open Safari and then go to Samsung's web site, and support then find your model of external and download the drivers for it. They should open and run automaticlly, if not they will give you the instructions on how to download them. When you do this make sure you have the external plugged in. I would also make sure that you are plugged into the USB-2 port, and not the USB-1 port.
If all that fails Google for your model Samsung and type in SAMSUNG EXTERNAL SLIMLINE DRIVERS FOR MAC. then hit enter. many times you can find opensource drivers there that are better than factory drivers.
Check as well and make sure there isn't a recall or a fix from Apples Site for your Internal Optical drive. It simply doesn't make since that you have a failure on this newer optical drive.
Did you Run Macjanitor, or Cache OutX, or Onyx, and did you repair permissions. Any one of these or a combination could fix your problem if the optical drive isn' fried.
Any of the software mentioned is FREE and you can Google for them.

What external DVD writer would work with Toshiba LX830?

Trying to connect an external DVD writer to Toshiba LX830 via USB.
Nothing will work - tried 3 writers and different software.
Does it matter that all the writers are USB 2.0 and the 830 is USB 3.0?
The best I've got is to 3%, then it just sits there.
Can anyone recommend an external writer that WILL work with the 830?

Hi
Did you try to connect this external CD/DVD drive to all available USB ports?
As far as I know the Toshiba LX830 All in one computer supports 6 USB ports and two of these USB ports support ultra-fast USB 3.0 standard.
So even if the external USB ODD (optical disk drive) would not support USB 3.0, it should work in connection with the other 4 USB 2.0 ports
