Adding a new CD or DVD Burner,need some help

The Sony CD-RW drive on my G4 DigAud 533 has died, so I tried to replace it with another Sony that I took out of a PC. The Model number and manufacture dates of the two units are very close, model # on both starts with CRX. But when I tried to burn a disc with the new one I got a message "unsupported device" or words to that effect. Is this just the comps way of telling me I need to install a driver? If so, can I download the driver over the 'net?
A related problem: I would like to add a DVD burner to a G3 B+W and have an NEC model ND-1300A, also out of a PC. The only drivers I have located for it refer to Windows, no Mac references. Is it possible to get this to work in a Mac, maybe wih 3rd party software like Toast ? Is there a listing of brand names that will definitely (or won't) work in a Mac? Both comps , by the way, are running OS 10.3.9. Thanx for any info. G-47
G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iMac G3, PowerMac5400/200
G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iMac G3, PowerMac5400/200

Make sure the drive jumpers are set to Master.

    It doesn't need a special Intel driver, version 3.2.2 works for both architectures.

  • Making a picture slideshow to watch on my dvd..need some help please =)

    I'm trying to gather pictures and make a simple slideshow with just one menu. Where as I would put the the dvd in the dvd player, a menu will come up, I press play, and then the dvd slideshow starts to play. I'm only putting a few pictures that would fit with one song. I've tried so many times creating a new project and the Magic idvd option. Somehow I get lost when it comes to the Drop zones. It would say there are 2 menus. I've searched the internet and I can't seem to still understand! So confused!! I hope someone can give me some direction!! Thanks!!

  • New Mac User and I need some help please!

    Hello, I just bought a MacBook, and it was an open box item that didn't come with any manuals or restore discs. I'd like to get a copy of restore discs to re-format everything since the computer was a display. Does anybody know how to go about getting them? I know the discs are very specific to what model MacBook you have. Thanks in advance for your help...

    The manuals you can get online but the restore disks you will need to call the store. If that fails call apple support and tell them what has happened and they will advise you on what to do. If this fails you could by a copy of lepard and you can reformat the HD and reinstall lepard.

  • Complete Java n00b...need some help

    I'm very new to Java and I need some help writing a basic program.
    I need to write a program that lets the user add up an infinite amount of floating point numbers. The program should compute the sum of all the numbers entered thus far. So for example if the user enters 2 and 3, it should give a number of 5. If the user then enters 4, I should give me 9 etc.
    I'm not really sure how to get started on writing that. I can add up two numbers but I don't know how to tell the program to keep adding additional numbers to that sum. Can someone please help me out? thanks

    It's ok... it can be hard to understand even the simplest concepts with only text and no help.
    There needs to be an int variable outside (before) the loop initialized to 0.
    float num = 0;Next, you need to have an infinite loop that requests floats to add onto the number.
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    while (true) {
        float toAdd = input.nextFloat();
        num += toAdd;
        System.out.println("Current sum " + num);
    }Putting all this together and putting it into a main method will work, but we have a bit of an issue. The program won't stop! For that reason, we need to specify a number which can exit the program. I like to use 0 for this purpose.
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    while (true) {
        float toAdd = input.nextFloat();
        if (toAdd == 0) {    //test if toAdd is 0 so the program can break;
            break;
        num += toAdd;
        System.out.println("Current sum " + num);
    }So, this code will work:
    import java.util.Scanner;
    class AddNumbers {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            float num = 0;
            Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
            while (true) {
                float toAdd = input.nextFloat();
                if (toAdd == 0) {    //test if toAdd is 0 so the program can break;
                    break;
                num += toAdd;
                System.out.println("Current sum: " + num);

  • Need some help frist time useing dreamweaver

    Hey all,
    I am totaly new to Dreamweaver and am needing some help. I am
    needing to make a feedback form. Would need it to e-mail me the
    feedback to something like [email protected] I also need to know
    how to make a footer for the copyright and desiged by, on each page
    without having to manually entering them. Any help I could get
    would be awsome.

    There are only two ways to process form data -
    1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
    2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
    form's data, b)
    process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
    formulate and
    send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
    redirect the visitor
    to some ending page
    Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
    depends both
    on your visitor having an email client already installed on
    their computer -
    this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
    clients
    installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
    email client
    responding to
    the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
    send the
    visitor to a
    thank you page as well.
    Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
    problems of
    method
    1, but it means that you have to grapple with
    server-scripting somehow (ASP,
    CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
    Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
    like
    http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.
    You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
    your needs,
    but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
    they provide for
    form
    processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
    carefully.
    For your footer, investigate the use of DW's Templates (use
    F1 Help to read
    about them), or of server-side includes (again, F1 Help will
    give you some
    info here, as will Google).

  • HT204291 When am watching live news on air play it shows only for  one minute 30 seconds I need some help?

    When am watching live news on air play it only shows for one minute 30 seconds ,, I need some help?

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I watched all the video tutorials, but I'm not clear on these parts.
    1. How to do a fade in / fade out title intro over the moving scene of the video?
    2. How to adjust the color to saturate / brighten / darken video scenes?
    3. How to make a credits page at end of video?
    4. Also, confused because I have only 2 image / audio clips for my very short video. The first video clip has the audio track with one sound graph displayed when enlarged. The second video clip has audio with 2 sound graph images stacked on top of each other saying R and L, right and left. The first audio clip does not have this, does not look like this. This is confusing. I thought both audio clips should look the same. What's up with this? Do I have something duplicated?
    5. Is there anyone here from South Orange County, California, USA, who would like to be of help to me via email, phone, Skype?

  • New to Solaris administration - Need some help with some issues

    Hello all,
    I am a new to Solaris administration and need some assistance with a few things. I was going to make separate posts but decided it would be easy to keep track of in one. I really do not know much about the OS but I do have a little Linux background so that might help me out. I am going to number my problems to keep them sorted, so here we go.
    The machine:
    Sunfire V880
    4x 73GB HDs
    PCI dual fiber channel host adapter
    Attached RAID array:
    Sun StorEdge T3 Array with 9x 73GB HDs
    Sun DDS4 Tape Drive in a Unipack
    OS: Solaris 5.10
    Updates: Updated everything except 2 patches (Updating is a real pain isn't it? At least it seems that way to me.)
    1. So I might as well start with the update issues! These 2 updates will not install:
    -PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
    Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
    -Patch for mediaLib in solaris, (121620-03)
    Install of update failed. Utility used to install the update is not able to save files. Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 4.
    No idea why the PostgreSQL update is not working, but the medialib patch seems to not have enough hard drive space.
    2. Where are all the drives? I don't know how to find the RAID box or the other 3 internal hard drives. When I installed the OS, I think I installed it on only one hard drive and that might be part of the reason why the medialibe update above says that I don't have enough space.
    3. I probably need more space for the OS and updates, is there a way to "add" space onto the hard drive that currently is running the OS?
    3. Once I see the other hard drives I wish to combine them to make a RAID 0 and RAID 5 array, how do I go about doing that?
    4. How can I find/see the tape drive?
    5. Does my swap space really need to be 64GB? I know the book I have read suggests it, but I only made it 5GB because it didn't seem to make sense to make it 64GB.
    Thank you in advance for the help. I know these are a lot of questions to ask but please go easy on me :)

    1.
    -PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
    Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
    Exit code 0 means there were no errors. When you run showrev -p 137004-02, does your system show that the patch is installed? You can check the log for a particular patch add attempt in /var/sadm/patch/+patch_num_rev+1- A bunch of stuff shows up, here is a portion (I am not entirely sure what it means, there must be a least a page of stuff like this):
    Patch: 121081-08 Obsoletes: Requires: 121453-02 Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWc cccrr, SUNWccccr, SUNWccfw, SUNWccsign, SUNWcctpx, SUNWccinv, SUNWccccfg, SUNWcc fwctrl

    When you run format command, how many drives are listed? Identify your root drive (compare with output of df command you ran earlier) Please post here.2. Output of df-hk, looks like I ran out of room. Should I just go ahead and reinstall the OS?

  • I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

    I'm new to itunes and need some help.  Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

    See if there's a non-explicit version and download that?  Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
    Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense.  You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks? 

  • Can someone please help me... i'm about to buy a new macbook pro and i need some pros and cons of SSD

    hi.. i'm about to buy a new macbook pro and i need some pros and cons of SSD.... i'm not sure which is really better, the regular hard drive or the SSD... because if i buy the mac with SSD it would be the 128GB, so i want to know how would that affect the overall performance of the computer...
    Thanks!

    I would suggest that you purchase the SSD through a third party source.  You will save money that way.
    Regarding the performance, go to the OWC web site.  They have bench tested their SSD vs conventional HDD and have published the results for anyone to see,
    The difference between the 128GB and the 256GB drives is capacity, no practical change to performance.
    Ciao.

The blue loading bar will just jump back and forth and the page will not load properly if at all....

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?
