Any tips to connect IMac with Memorex external DVD recorder

Has anyone connected an external memorex DVD recorder (MRX-510LE) to an IMac using firewire or USB? Trying to burn CD's for Itunes and DVDs ...
does not recognize hardware...can't find drivers......
thanks

Hi ellejay,
welcome to the discussions.
Try Patchburn - http://www.patchburn.de/ Works a treat with almost all "unsupported" burners.
You could also consider simply updating to a more recent version of Tiger, as support for additional external burners has been added in the later revisions.
Cheers
Rod

  • Upgrading to Snow Leopard from Tiger with an external DVD drive.

    I am trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from Tiger 10.4.11 with an external DVD drive. The disc loads OK and prompts me for my password to restart and begin the installation. On restart, instead of being asked to accept the terms of use and etc... I just get the same prompt to restart and get caught in a loop. Any tips?

    Try this instead:
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the disk icon of the Snow Leopard DVD.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

  • IMac - internal or external DVD?

    iMac - internal or external DVD? That is the question...
    Can you install a normal DVD burner in an iMac 800MHz flat panel?
    If so, can anyone advice on the technical proceedure?
    If installing an internal drive is easy enough to do, can you please advise on types, makes or specs to install.
    My current DVD drive runs slow and I'd like a DVD burner, so is a seperate external drive the better option?
    External drives just seem so expensive. THANK YOU!

    Hello, 
    Internal.
    Most replacement optical drives should work under Tiger fine. If not Patchburn will be the driver you need.
    Most of us have Pioneer 'superdrives' installed by Apple so it seems sensible to stick with that product line.
    The DVR-112 (18x DVD±RW DL for £21) seems a good deal to me (plus and hour or two of your time).
    It's pretty fiddly to work inside an iMac G4 so you must be cautious. Always take anti-static precautions. Here are three options for guiding you through the procedure:
    MacWorld
    xlr8yourmac
    Service Manuals
    I've also taken a fair few photos which you can find here.
    I'd advise reading the reports on the xlr8yourmac drive database so get other people's experiences first.
    You must replace the Thermal Paste when you close the iMac up or it will overheat.
    It's probably worth replacing the PRAM Battery whilst you're in there as these have a finite life (once they fail to re-charge you may start to run in to snags - it's only a £5 part).
    External.
    A whole lot less effort to install and should you upgrade to an Intel iMac / Mac Mini/ MacBook in the future you'll have access to this faster desktop spec tray loading drive rather than the slow laptop spec slot drive installed in these current Macs.
    Let us know how you get on/what you decide.

  • How is it possible to install Windows 7 via USB-Stick on a 2009 iMac with a broken DVD-Drive?

    Hello,

  • External DVD recorder compatibility with a mac book air

    Is the imation slim external DVD recorder compatible with a mac book air

    Mac is a special adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NDg).
    But if you look closely at that picture, you will see a possible issue getting a VGA cable seated fully in the adapter.
    You may want to try a Fry's or Microcenter or other "giant electonics retailer" to find other brand names.
    Mine is a "Kanex" from Microcenter, which has a website.  Here is the link, and see hoe the cable *can* seat fully ... http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0314015

  • External DVD Recorder ll

    I have external dvd recorder for telivision use. It has 4 pin to 6 pin firewire plug.
    Can I make idvd movies on imac 500 and export to this DVD recorder?

    I have a Philips DVDR75 which has firewire capabilities. I have recorded with this input from my video camera but have not tried it from one of my Macs.
    I do not believe that there is any way to get iDVD to export to firewire. That doesn't make much sense in any case -- how would a menu hierarchy be streamed over live video?
    Rather, you CAN stream individual videos to the firewire with Final Cut. iMovie may also have this capability, but I'm not an iMovie user so I do not know for sure.
    Why not just give it a try?

  • Going from Ppro to external DVD recorder

    I have a finished ppro cs5 project that I need to get on DVD.  I am having problems with Encore so I want to record the ppro project on a dvd using an external dvd recorder. I don't understand how to get the project from the computer to the external dvd recorder.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    >problems with Encore
    You need the Encore forum for those problems... but a some ideas...
    As well as the below, right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator... which fixes several "odd" problems

  • I recently purchased a new iMac with an external drive.  I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac.  Comments?  Help?

    I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive.  I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac.  I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern.  May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure?  Comments?  Help?

    If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

  • I cannot download any add-ons--connection faliure with mozilla add ons--not sure what this means or how to fix it

    Hello,
    I have updated Firefox and have 4.0 but I can't seem to add any add-ons. No matter what I try I get the :
    connection faliure with mozilla add ons error message.
    I am on a Mac version 10.5.8
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

    You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.12 to Firefox/2.0.0.13
    You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page:
    * general.useragent.extra.firefox Firefox/2.0.0.13 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
    You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
    Filter: general.useragent<br />
    If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

  • Steps needed or any guidance to connect SAP with DB2,

    Hi Experts,
    I need detailed steps to connect SAP with DB2 server. If any standard document or any one is having any docs / hints can provide , it would be a great help to me.

    Hello Mamata,
    If your current ECC 6.0 is also on DB2/400, you can use DBCO - outlined in the following blog.
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2006/08/31/configure-dbco-database-multiconnect-on-ibm-i5iseries
    If the retail business can be moved to SAP solution, plain SAP RFC just works fine. If not, you can install a SAP gateway instance on DB2.
    There are many options. It could be hard to identify the best choice without a detailed review/analysis.
    Best regards,
    Victor

  • HT201250 I have an iMac with 2 external hardrives. Will the G Speed Q set up these external hard drives

    My iMac has two external hard drives. I have the G Speed Q for backup . Will this automatically back up these two external hard drives ?

    Time Machine will not automatically backup external drives unless you remove them from the Exclude list. However, if the drives are disconnected, then you will need to reconfigure Time Machine once again not to exclude them.
    Time Machine is intended mainly to backup internal drives to external drives, not to backup external drives to other external drives.
