All my DVD burner woes are gone!

I wanted to pass along my good news - I have surmounted my SuperDrive woes, and I am a happy camper.
To make a long story short, my G5 2x2GhZ of mid-2003 vintage developed a distaste for burning DVD's via the SuperDrive. I replaced it with a new Pioneer "DVR-112D-BK" and it rocks!
I read several posts regarding the fine folks at Other World Computing (macsales.com). This not a paid endorsement, but wow! For around $40, I got the new drive that burned 10 DVD-R's back to back at 18X right outta the gate! I am simply purring. This is on the heels of fussin' & cussin' at my old SuperDrive.
My advice - don't mess with an old drive! Replace it!
Just for a little further bragging on my new drive - I just burned to a Fuji DVD-R at 16X. Even in its healthy days, the SuperDrive would not burn to that media!

Hi! OWC is a great place to buy Mac stuff as you have discovered and they are always helpful and good prices too! That's why many of us recommend them. Tom

  • When I login, all of my desktop items are gone, the "Finder" icon is bouncing and a message asking to restore windows is blinking but unresponsive. I can't exit out of it. What do I do? I've tried force quitting, and it doesn't get rid of it.

    Hey sunnyday7!
    Here is an article that can help you address this issue:
    OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
    Additional Information
    OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • All of my add-ons are gone!

    Recently I had to do a system restore to get rid of a virus on my laptop. It worked, but now all of my add-ons are gone. (These were add-ons I've had for a long time, well before the time I restored my system to.) The one I'm most concerned about is Read It Later, since it had several months worth of links.
    Just today I downloaded Firefox 3.6.13, in hopes a new version of Firefox would fix this problem. It didn't. When I go to c:\documents and settings\<your name>\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles\73v5v5m4.default\extensions I can see my add-ons with read it later listed as isreaditlater@ideashower(2).com, but they don't show up when I look under tools\add-ons. I'm using Windows XP and the latest version of Flash, and AVG 2011 for my anti-virus.
    At the very least, what can I do to get RIL back, ideally with all of my old links? If I have to re-download RIL, is there some way to save all of my old links?
    Please help!

    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

    - You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
    - Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You should
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Your library/media will not be affected.
    - Does the iPod charge?

    Did you restore your phone with itunes or check new phone.  You can always reconnect with itunes and restore your phone to old settings and it should replace everything because it is on your computer

  • All my Garage Band songs are gone in the app after I uploaded to iCloud.

    All my Garage Band songs are gone in the app after I uploaded to iCloud. Where can I retrieve the songs? iCloud doesn't show any Garage Band folder backup. Help please!!!

    Is your GarageBand version up to date? If not, upgrade to the latest version. also, you coud try to reset GarageBand to the factory settings. That brought my iCloud projects back.
    Open the "Settings" app on your iPad and scroll down to the applications. Open the GarageBand settings and set "Reset GarageBand" to on.
    BTW: If there are network problems it sometimes may take a very long time, before the song is downloaded from the cloud again. That is why I never upload the original to iCloud - I duplicate the song and share only a copy to iCloud. Once I am sure the upload has been successful and the cloud version is working I delete the original.

  • My cousin told me there was a way to get free apps and that he could do it but what he really did was try to refund all my apps, the apps are gone from the history but no money has come back for me to even get the apps back, please help.

    My cousin told me there was a way to get free apps and that he could do it but what he really did was try to refund all my apps, the apps are gone from the history but no money has come back for me to even get the apps back, is this permanent?

    Yup!!
    Got what you deserved!
    Do not try and rip off or steal from people or companies.
    You have good cousin, there!(sarcasm)

  • I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

    I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

    Well, when you restore your ipad, there is really no way to get the information back. The reason you restore it i to get all of the information off of it. Why did you restore it if you wanted to keep the info?
    Aa far as I know, there is no way to un-restore any device. But, you can put the info back onto the device if it was on your computer, etc.
    Sorry...

  • All my apps and music are gone after i updated to 5.0.1

    i did back up my ipodtouch before i updated it. all my musics and apps are gone and only thing it backed up is my pics, contacts, and some other stuff. is there anyway i can get my apps and musics back?

    You said you did a backup...
    iCloud backup or iTunes backup?
    Also, two suggestions for next time:
    Software updates can be done right from your device, under Settings > General > Software Update if you have iOS 5 or later. This usually prevents a lot of problems users typically run in to when updating in iTunes.
    When updating in iTunes, even though your restore may seem complete, it is still restoring your apps, music, etc. Please be sure that it is absolutely complete before unplugging.

  • I turned on my macbook pro and ALL my libraries and albums are gone from iPhoto, any ideas

    What size if the Library as indicated in the Finder?  If it's large enough to be holding your photos then your photos are probably still in there but the library is damaged.  If the tags you used indicate iLife 11 then try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option             
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    If the above falils to recover your photos continue with this:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
