Can no longer open BOTH DVD drives after upgrade

OK...I have a Mac Pro, and pre Lion I had NO PROBLEM using F12 and opt-F12 to open both of my Superdrive trays. However, after Lion, F12 AND opt-F12 BOTH OPEN THE BOTTOM SUPERDRIVE ONLY, and I cannot access my upper superdrive.
Am I missing some sort of preference setting that needs to be changed? If so, I haven't been able to find it. If this is a known bug I have not been able to find any info on it.
Thanks in advance...

Anybody got this?
I've got 2 drives, and only the bottom one works after the 10.7 rollout? Doesn't appear that the other one is even recognized in the system profiler anymore.
Surely there's someone that knows wth is going on here...?

I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so, do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.

Why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?

why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0? I have downloaded Maverick. I had the same problem with Pages at first. Is there any way to get my spreadsheets back? I'm nervous about upgrades anymore.

If you recently updated to Mavericks and updated the Numbers to 3.0 then it is likely you are trying to open a Numbers 3.0 file with Numbers 2.3.
Numbers 2.3 Numbers 3.0
Be sure you are careful about which version you are launching and using to open files. If you want to be able to open a file in Numbers 2.3 then you should continue using Numbers 2.3 (which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09")
If you already opened a Numbers file in 3.0 and saved if but want to open in 2.3 you can export from Numbers 3.0 by using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..."

Can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes after upgrading to Itunes 7

Can no longer connect to certain shares after upgrading to 10.8.4

After upgrading to the latest version of Mountain Lion, I can no longer access certain shared volumes. I have one machine running 10.4.11 and I can connect to its hard drive. Another machine on my network runs 10.5.8, and I can now only connect to the built-in hard drive. There are also 2 Firewire drives connected to that (10.5.8) machine that I can no longer connect to.
When I use "Connect to Server" and enter the AFP address of the 10.5.8 machine, I get a full list of "available" shares, but if I select one of the FireWire volumes, I just get a spinning "rosette" for several minutes and then a failure message. I also have an OS 9 machine that I can no longer connect to on the same network.
I already read the "Connecting to Legacy Systems" notice and still no joy after following the instructions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

No NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages.

Can no longer connect to wireless router after upgrading to iTunes 9.2

My wireless connection was fine (using MacBook). After upgrading iTunes, I can not longer connect to router/modem wirelessly - am tethered with an ethernet cable. Spent 1 1/2 hours on phone with AT&T support reseting the passwords, security, etc. A PC laptop accepts password and can connect. My iPhone still can connect. But my MacBook (OS X 10.6) will not recognize my password for the modem/router. Everything has been re-booted and reset to original settings. Also, I received an iPad yesterday and it won't accept the password for our home wireless network. The password is correct because I am using it on other devices that are connecting to the network. Any ideas?

Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
Thanks for your help.

I can no longer find the tones menu after upgrade to IOS6

Ever since my upgrade to iOS6.1 I can no longer see my ringtones in iTunes. I still have it and can see it in my computer files but there is no Tones menu in the library of iTunes. I've tried to just readd the folder but it did nothing. I have my phone set to manually add music and videos and so each time I try to check sync tones it tries to erase everything else and remove the manual option. And without the tones menu I can't find the ringtone to manually readd it to the phone.

I found my answer in another posting. There were two options. The first didn't help but the second did but both still good information.
Ringtones library is now called Tones. If you don't see Tones under the Library, go to iTunes menu EDIT>Preferences>check the Tones box under General tab, sources then click ok
iTunes>View>Show Sidebar...Tones should be listed here under Library.

IMac no longer recognizes my DVD player after upgrading to DVD Player 4.6

Hi,
Several days ago I upgraded to Tiger and then 2 days ago, through "software update" I upgraded to 10.4.3 and also upgraded to DVD Player 4.6
I just discovered that my computer no longer sees the DVD player and an inserted DVD doesn't show up anywhere (when I check under "Hardware" and then "Disc Burning" under "About This Mac" it says "No burning device was found."
I tried reinstalling the upgrade (DVD Player 4.6) but it says it can't because there's no valid DVD player in the system (my computer has a Superdrive and I've played and burned DVD's a plenty in the past several months).
Any help/info will be GREATLY appreciated!!

PowerBook G4 1.33 wont boot from DVD drive after upgrade

Can anyone offer some assitance. I just upgraded my PowerBook G4 1.33 from a Combo Drive to a Panasonic SuperDrive. Also upgraded to a 250GB harddrive. Got a tree error on HD and when I went to boot up Diskwarrior I could not boot from the DVD drive. It does not come up as a bootable drive. Tried Holding down "C" key "Option Key" nothing works. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? All other drive functions work perfectly.

Hi chubbs899, and a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
i have read says you can go in through disk utility and partition the drive but i still have yet to see anything that says something about disk utility.
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*

Thanks to Pondini, Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks...
http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html
it gives you the option of doing "journal" format or "case sensitive, journal" format.
Don't use Case Sensitive, confuses many Apps.
i suspected jumper settings but when i read through the manual on the WD website it didnt seem to say anything about doing something specifically for apple. it had a jumper for slower transfer rate 1.5Gb/s
Yes, it needs that jumper on pins 5&6.

Can no longer connect to SMB server after upgrading to Lion

We have a MacBook Pro that was running 10.6.8. The user upgraded to Lion, and can no longer connect to a Windows 2008 file server. (We have two offices connected through a hardware tunnel, but i do not think this is the issue.)
We have tried to connect in the Finder (smb://[email protected]/). It asks for usr / pass, and then just hangs on "Connecting to server"
We can ping, have tested these credentials on other computers, and tried other credentials on this computer, to no avail. Furthermore, we installed a fresh copy of Lion on another computer, and successfully connected, so I don't think the issue is with Lion itself.
There must be something from the previous install that did not "upgrade" properly, but I don't know which file / setting it could be. It is system-wide setting, as we have also tried another user account on this same Mac.
We've also run Onyx to fix permissions, clean out all caches, etc.
Any idea what file i can change, modify, or delete?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.

Can't open external hard drive after upgrading to photos 9.6

I know there have been other variations to this question but mine's a bit different and I didn't find a conversation about this yet:
I've always backed up all my pictures on an external hard drive (Seagate, standard, works with all computers). After I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and therefore iPhotos 9.6, I haven't been able to access them at all. I'm trying not to panic and am wondering what I can do. There's no way that the upgrade DELETED everything on my hard drive, right?!? Checking the back-up (i.e., Time Machine) on my laptop doesn't help in this case because none of the photos were there in the first place. Please help!
MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009)
Processor 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

It is powered (the light is on). I was uploading photos from the drive yesterday, so it worked perfectly fine before the upgrade to 10.6.8 (which I did during the night). Is there anything else to try before I move it to another computer to see if it works? Again, thanks.

Help! My IE8 users can no longer access their wiki pages after upgrade to Lion.

I upgraded my SL server to Lion without checking the browser requirements for the new Wiki server. My users access the wiki via a Windows 2003 Terminal Server which is stuck on IE8, can't install IE9 on it. I push out the home page URL via group policy and now everyone is getting the "unsupported browser" message. Is there any way to allow them access with IE8? They don't actually update the wiki, that can be done with a compatible browser no problem but they need to be able to click on links. Do I just need to set up a separate website for them?

Anybody got this?
I've got 2 drives, and only the bottom one works after the 10.7 rollout? Doesn't appear that the other one is even recognized in the system profiler anymore.

Can no longer connect to network server after upgrading dsl modem

While I was working on a file that resides on a network server, the router was powered down so on reboot it would communicate with a dsl modem . After the router was power up I could not reconnect to the server.
I have internet access
The mini can see the server in the finder and the server sees the mini
This is not a wireing issue.
When I try to connect I get this message:
"The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP Protocol. You cannot connect"
The server is an old mac running os 9.1. I've read that 9.1 is not compatible with 10.4.8. But it worked just fine this morning.
There are other macs (cubes) running 9.2 I can connect to them.
I've tried restarting and logging on as a differernt user. no change

Thanks for your help
I made no changes to the mini or the server.
The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

I can no longer render in FCP 6 after upgrading to an AMD Radeon HD 7970 3072 MB

Hey,
I purchased a AMD Radeon HD 7970 3072 MB that was modified to work on a Mac from MacVideoCards.com.
I'm editing with FCP 6 and I find that I'm unable to render files anymore.
I get the specific effect name followed by error.
Would this be related to the card and would you know how to fix this?
I've also notice when I start the computer up, it stays on the grey screen longer than it did when I had the original card (512 mb).
I had my 2.26 8 core converted to a 3.46 12 core.
I currently have 32 GB of ram 1333 MHz.
1tb Hard drive.
I'm also running OS X 10.9.5.
If you could be any assistance I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

Can't mount WD external hard drive after upgrade to Mountain Lion

I have two external hard drives on my iMac. One for Time Machine and Aperture Library Files (My Book Essentials formatted Mac OS Extended Journaled) - this works fine.
The other is an older WD 500Gb drive which is partitioned Windows_Fat_32. (Keep in mind, I'm not even sure what this means exactly). It contained my iTunes library and a lot of photo backups. It worked fine on my iMac with Snow Leopard, but since upgrading to Mountain Lion, it won't mount. I get an error that says "this drive is not readable by this computer" and I get options to "intialize", "ignore", or "eject". Disk Utility sees the drive but won't let me do anything with it. Is there a way to salvage this data? I don't mind reformatting after I move the data or getting a new drive, but I don't want to lose the data. My iTunes music files are extensive and they are on the good external drive, but the "library" is on the bad one...
Sorry if I haven't explained well..

hi,
it is kind of late, but I wonder, did you manage to solve the issue?
I have lacie drives, and the firmware upgrade is apparently required, but I cannot find the appropriate one at lacie's website... the ones i tried do not recognize my drive...
my lacie quadra d2 250 GB (USB, FW 400, 800) goes to sleep, and does not wake up....
I'm still searching for help...
ps: lacie's support page is quite hard to pierce, they require one to sign up, but no support for latinaamerican countries... so I could not sign up, therefore could not reach their support
