Can't get external cd burner to work on mac

Hello! I am new to owning a macbook pro and still getting used to it. I recently bought an external cd drive to hook up to the computer. When I plug it in and if I put a movie in, it will automatically play the movie. However, when I go into Itunes (Itunes 11) and try and burn a playlist of my music it will not work. I click burn cd and the external cd drive is listed, but it keeps flashing to put in a blank cd, which I have done. When I go to disk utility on my computer, it has the name of the drive but I can not click it to verify it. I have no idea how to get this to work and I keep trying! Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you!

How can I get read out loud to work on MAC for adobe reader?

Having trouble getting the read out loud function to work on MAC. It keeps says "BLANK" or "Warning Page Empty". How can i get this resolved my the read out loud function to work properly?

That depends.
First, be sure the pdf isn't just scanned images. Can you select individual words with the select tool? If not, you would need to use a tool to run OCR before it can be read.

Can't get External Application Debugging to work to debug PL/SQL.

I can debug PL/SQL directly. I wish to debug ASP.NET applications using IIS. To debug my application I must attach to aspnet_wp.exe and fire up IE or firefox.. I have tried to set ORA_DEBUG_JDWP just before the call to the PL/SQL SP, but the debugger doesn't stop at the PL/SQL break point--I have set a break point just before the PL/SQL call and then enable 'Start Oracle External Application Debugger" and enter the port number that I set in ORA_DEBUG_JDWP. I believe that ORA_DEBUG_JDWP must be set before an Oracle connection is established. If I do that it interferes with my firefox or IE browser that I need to get to the point of the PL/SQL call--there are many postbacks that are encountered through the course of getting to the point where the PL/SQL call (i.e. logging in, navigating through the menu and then entering values to trigger the call). Has anyone gotten ODT to work in this configured environment? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, I have gone through the article step by step many times. The crux of my problem I believe is that I am to "3) Add code to your ASP.NET app to set the environment variable at the process level. You need to do this at a point in the code before a connection is opened. In C# this looks something like:
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("ORA_DEBUG_JDWP", "host=mymachine;port=8888", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);"
I must access the Oracle database for various logon information before I get to the PL/SQL SP that I want to debug. On the first Oracle database access I get the following Oracle error because I have already set the ORA_DEBUG_JDWP variable so any connection to Oracle is trying to access the debugger (That's what I conclude anyway)..
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges\nORA-06512: at \"SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP\", line 68\nORA-06512: at \"SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP_CUSTOM\", line 59\nORA-06512: at line 1\n"
Thanks,
Brent

Can't get my cd burner to work

I have a NEC 2510A DVD-RW with the latest 2.19 driver and itunes will not recognize it. I can burn things with other software (although with video DVDs they often don't play on DVD players like it should) and it's supposed to work with itunes based on my research.
What's the deal? I have XP, btw. I have a playlist I need to burn to a CD but can't do it! I have another computer networked to it and can access the playlist on that computer, but it won't give me the option to burn something shared from the network (unless you know of a way?).
Please help! I can't find any good info online anywhere!

BTW, I have carbonite and dropbox on my computer could that be interfering? I disabled carbonite and exited out of dropbox and it still isn't working.
I have the latest version of itunes, and itunes sees the drive okay to play disc's but not to burn. I have another CD burner as well and same thing.
BTW, when I go to edit, preferences, advanced, there is no "burning" option like so many things instruct me to go to. I've looked everywhere and there isn't ANYTHING called burning anywhere in the preferences window.

Can't Get External iSight Camera to Work in XP Pro.

I just installed XP SP2 via Boot Camp on my Mac Pro. I had trouble getting the Boot Camp Drivers Wizard to complete. It would freeze.
After I disconnected my iSight Camera and Apple USB Modem, I was able to get the wizard to complete.
But on reboot I still see Found New Hardware Wizard.
I also still see question marks beside my iSight Camera in Device Manager.
I tried to run the Apple Booot Camp Driver Wizard again using the REPAIR option. Same problem..
Any Ideas?
Rob

It looks like Apple does NOT provide any Bootcamp drivers for EXTERNAL iSight cameras.
I am out of luck!! Pity!!
From wikipedia:
"Microsoft Windows XP and Vista will autodetect an external iSight camera as “1394 Desktop Video Camera”, but no specific iSight driver exists for Windows"
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISight
If someone knows of a Windows driver that will work with an EXTERNAL iSight camera, please let me know.

I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work? i use OS X

i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?

With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
Problem:
My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera.
I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software.
Even after removing all the old software, same result:
I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.
Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.
Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution?
I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software. I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome.
I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software.
I test my camera before going online. It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.
When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
solution.
His reply is below :-
The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
blank screen. Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
adjusting the frame rate.
I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
to adjust the frame rate (?).
He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
something does the trick.
If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
please jot on a note on this thread.

How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store. I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID. Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com). I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

I just got a new itouch and i can't get imessage or facetime to work on my home network

I just got a new itouch 4 and i can't get imessage and facetime to work on my home wifi network (Airport Express). I can't explain it. The itouch works fine otherwise uncluding the internet. Facetime and imessage work at the apple store so there must be something wrong with my home network. Please help if you can!
iPod touch, iOS 5.0.1

I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 as you suggested with no success, I even tried 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 as suggested by others with no success either. When I try and activate iMessage or Facetime, I still get the same message "could not sign in, please check your network connection". The internet and Mail work perfectly fine on the iPod touch so the WiFi signal IS going through. I am at a loss, any other suggestions would be more than welcome. Thanks!
