Any internal blu ray burner work with the early 2008?

I bought the Pioneer BDR 203- but it's SATA and Mac power/read cable hook up does not match.
The Mac pro early 2008 is ATA.

There are a couple of SATA ports on the main logic board below the optical drives. You can get an adapter for the power connector.

Are there any Installation instructions for adding an MCE internal Blu-Ray burner to a Mac Pro(2013) running OS X Montain Lion?

Looking for any installation instructions or assistance in adding hardware (MCE internal blu-ray burner multi-drive14x) to my Mac Pro system running the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion.

Ask the vendor if they provide installation instructions. Otherwise, do a Google search for links on installing optical devices in a Mac Pro.

Install an internal blu-ray burner on a 24' iMac 2.4 Ghz

Been trying to find an internal blu-ray burner drive to install on my 24 inch iMac 2.4. Does anyone know of an internal drive I can use. Thanks all.

Get a Panasonic UJ-235 (SATA) or UJ-225 (ATA). I installed one in my 27" iMac. It works like it came from Apple. Any 12.5 mm slot loading optical drive will work in an iMac, but the best option is the UJ-235. Your best bet on finding one is on ebay as they aren't redily avaliable for retail purchase as they are mainly for oem aplications. Wait, check to see if you optical drive is sata or ide, if it is ide you can't use the UJ-235, it will take the UJ-225. the way to check is in the sytem information. Look under ATA, if it is your current superdrive will be listed there adn go with the UJ-225. then check serial-ATA, if the suoerdrive is listed there then go with the UJ-235. Toast will burn a bluray, makemkv will rip one, and Mac BluRay palyer will play it. You can do a decrypted rip an clone a commercial blu ray with MakeMKV and toast. But there is no reson to do that because the blank double layer discs are more expensive than buying the movie. Also Handbrake is now bluray ready, you have to do a decryted rip first. But you can make a m4v file that is much better than ones you purchase on itunes. itunes only has them in 720p right now but you can make them in 1080p with handbrake, and incrase the bitrate. Granted, it will take about 12 hours with the 2.4 dual core intel, but it will do it. I have the 3.4 i7 with 32 gb of ram and it takes about 3 hours. I heard a 12 core mac pro can do it in 20 min, so long as the ram is maxed out at 96 gb. But my set up ran about $4,000 and the mac pro set up like that will push $10,000.
Really, your best bet is to use a full speed external through firwire 800 or usb2. The read and burn speed is determined by the drive anyway and those fullsized drives are so much faster than laptop internal drives that the iMac uses.

C55DT-B5208 internal blu-ray burner?

I have a Satellite C55DT-B5208 and am wondering if it's possible to install an internal blu-ray burner. If so does anyone know of a decently priced one that would work in this model?
Thanks for any help!
Krystofer

Satellite C55Dt-B5208 (PSCN6U-009004) <-- Your model
Satellite C55Dt-B5245 (PSCN6U-008002) <-- Has ODD
I don't know about Blu-ray, but the model above in your same part-number family has an optical drive. So you should be able to install the same one.
If you want to pursue it, call a parts vendor and ask them to look up that second model. (It's too new to be listed there.)

Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
Cheers, Kavango

go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

Will PC2 6400/800MHz work with my Early 2008 MacBook (4,1)?

I am having a problem with upgrading new RAM. I received new RAM sticks and they will not work with my Early 2008 MacBook(4,1) with OS Lion. Here are the stick specs:
Make: Kingston
Product #: KTD-INSP6000C/2G
Speed: PC2-6400/800MHz
Pin count: 200
Other attributes:
SODIMM
DDR2-SDRAM
Unbuffered
Non-ECC
The tech specs from Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP5) say that the bus speed is 800MHz and the how-to-guide to install RAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651#link3) says that PC2-6400/800MHz should work. However, that how-to-guide lumps 2006-2009 models together. I don't know if all of those models are compatible with PC2-6400 AND PC2-5300 or if that is just the range within the models (e.i. 2006 takes 667MHz while 2009 takes 800MHz). On the Kingston website it lists only Dell products as compatible with the product number I am thinking that is the problem. The how-to-guide does say that 667MHz is the recommended maximum speed for my MacBook model. I just don't know now if 800MHz works for my MacBook. The current RAM sticks I have are the stock PC2-5300/667MHz.
The two Kingston sticks together: Doesn't boot up
One Kingston stick (tried both) with an old stick: Does boot up and work
One Kingston stick (tried both) completely by itself: Doesn't boot up
Here is my frustration, I bought some Kingston sticks (KTA-MB800K2/4G) that are supposed to be compatible with Apple from a company on Amazon and they shipped me the other product number since it is also PC2-6400/800MHz and they are out of stock of the specific product number I ordered. They are saying that the problem is that my computer can't take PC2-6400/800MHz and that the different product number is irrelevant. So, do I need to order different RAM sticks that are a lower speed or should this company ship me the original product number that I ordered?
Thanks!

No. Your model requires:
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM

Please Suggest a Compatible Internal Blu Ray Burner to buy for PE13 with Windows 7

Can anyone tell me brands and models of currently sold internal Blu ray burners that are compatible with Premiere elements 13 using Windows 7? The list on the Adobe website seems to be outdated models. So far I have tried the Pioneer BDR-2209 and the LG WH16NS40 and both are recognized as drives by PE 13 but display "media not present" when a Blu Ray disc is inserted. I need to be able to burn blue ray discs from my PE 13 software. Which model internal drives are you having success with? Thank you!!!

thefosters6
Premiere Elements 13 Windows 7 64 bit.
I have been using a LG Blu-ray DVD burner (12X) successfully for Premiere Elements 4 through 13. But, as far as I know, this brand/model is no
longer sold.
The "Media Not Present" issue is not unique to Premiere Elements 13, and I question whether one fix or suggested burner is a universal solution.
Suggestions before buying any more burner for this purpose...
1. Explore other brand/type Blu-ray discs
2. Uninstall Premiere Elements 13 (usual Control Panel way), do a free ccleaner run through CCleaner - Download
and the reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
If "2" does not work, then delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file found
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
13.0
and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
3. If all else fails (or before doing all of the above), determine if the Burn To: ISO Image works for Blu-ray.
You can take that ISO Image and get it to Blu-ray disc using a program such as ImgBurn. (Install ImgBurn with great care
since it comes with "baggage of carry along programs" if you do not make the right choices in the download and install.)
Please review and consider the above. Right now, finding the one size fits all Blu-ray player in your specific computer environment may prove
frustrating.
More later.

Blu Ray burner issues with Toast

I am trying to hook up a Pioneer BDR-206 to my iMac so I can burn HD movies to Blu Ray. I'm new to Mac so pretty much everything I do is a learning process. I used iMovie to edit the AVCHD files and then exported them. I am using Toast 11 Titanium to burn the movies. Toast seems to encode the movies just fine. But when it starts to burn them I get a hardware error and Toast crashes. I have tried changing the burn speed and made sure the buffer underrun was checked. It crashes at different intervals. I even was able to get one of the Toast discs to completely finish but then the disc wouldn't play in my Blu Ray player. The menu showed up but the videos wouldn't load. I have tried all of Toasts support suggestions but none of it works. I'm hoping someone out there knows more than the tecs at Toast. Otherwise, I'm toast. I've wasted about $25.00 in blank Blu Ray discs already. The error code i get is:
The drive reported an error: Sense Key=Hardware error Sense Code= 0x08, 0x01 Logical Unit Communication Time out
I forgot to mention that I am using the BDR-206 in an enclosure with USB2 connection to iMac. The iMac is new with the iCore5 processor.

Hi, welcome to the forums & Macdom!
Sorry, no Blu-ray hear, all I can suggest at this point is Lion Cache Cleaner..

Latest Blu-Ray burner compatible with iMac 2012 model?

What is the best, latest external Blu-Ray player and burner compatible with iMac?
I cannot get a real clear answer anywhere.... It also needs to run in both OSX Lion and Windows through Parallels software.....
Please can I have makes and models and what is he best iMac software to use? Thanks

Apple has shunned the Blu-ray format. If you need a Blu-ray drive look at the reviews @ the MacWorld website.
Be prepared to bleed through the nose for this technology on the Mac side.

Any portable battery packs that work with the iPhone?

I'll be doing a lot of "line waiting" next week and would like to use the iPhone for entertainment (internet/movie watching). I believe they're rated to last about 6-7 hours but I haven't been getting that much from mine (I'd also want something as a backup in case my battery dies on me and I'm not by a charger (or have the time to let it charge)).
I've seen portable battery packs for the ipod (that plug into the dock connector) but do any work with the iPhone?

I haven't tried one, but I think it's extremely likely that it would work. All the reports are that every iPod charging accessory - wall adapters, car adapters - works with iPhone.

Are there any voice recorder adapters that work with the ipod touch?

I have an IPod Touch and am starting school in august. Are there any voice recorders that work with the IPod touch? I know there are some that work with the others but any info would help! Thanks

All ipod microphone adapters should work!

Any Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?

Is there a version of Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?
Moderator Note: Edited subject to match content.

Skype works wonderfully on the HTC Thunderbolt. The Tegra single core is just fine. It's not the chip, it's this device. As I've written as well, playback of any video is poor and any HD video is unwatchable. The phone plays HD video reasonably smoothly.
The Skype issue is the same - the app sees that it is video capable but cannot find the front facing camera (or any camera for that matter.) I'm surprised to find that video functions on this device don't work very well. Hopefully the company will be behind supporting this device. I'm surprised that it has Gingerbread only but you can't expect them to dump these out without having made sure they worked properly just for simple things that have worked properly on comparable devices.

Will any wireless keyboard and mouse work with the Macbook Air?

I just need to know if my existing keyboard/mouse will work or if I need to purchase new.

Any BlueTooth keyboard or mouse should work. I have a nifty Kensington BT keyboard that switches from my desktop to MBA to iPad with the flick of a single key and I have a BT Magic Mouse.
