CD-ROM Driver 5.3.1 for Non-Apple TEAC CD Drive

I saw a web article http://chrislawson.net/writing/macdaniel/2k1130cl.shtml
and searched for the Apple CD-ROM Driver 5.3.1
After my original CD-ROM failed in a PowerMac 7600, I installed a PowerComputing CD-ROM I salvaged.
I have been able to get it to come up on the desktop and play music and read disks, but it doesn't show up on boot now. It whirs and blinks. When I open the CD audio player it says the Apple CD/DVD Driver did not load at startup, whether it it in the Ext folder or not. I booted using an Apple CD-ROM 600i and everything works just fine. Then I switched to the TEAC without shutting down and it read the disks and plyed music. I think there is something in the Apple CD/DVD Driver Ext that gets read at boot.
Anyway, it seems Driver 5.3.1 might work instead of CD/DVD which is in OS 9.2
Any suggestions on what to do or where to look? Thanks
PowerMac 7600-132 Mac OS 9.2.x

Hi, cdonpaul. PowerComputing had to use CD-ROM drives in its computers that did not contain Apple's ROM. The proprietary ROM in Apple's own drives made them bootable using the c-key-at-startup key combination, and also made them supportable by the Apple CD-ROM extension and the later Apple CD/DVD Driver extension. Without the Apple ROM, PowerComputing's drives had neither capability.
PCC worked around these two issues by relying on the Command-Option-Shift-Delete startup key combination for booting from a CD, and supplying a third-party driver for its optical drives. FWB's CD-ROM Toolkit was shipped with all PCC computers instead of Apple's drivers. But then the version of CDRTK that PCC shipped was incompatible with OS 8.5, so anyone who hadn't found a better alternative had to upgrade CDRTK at least once, maybe more, to upgrade their OS to or beyond OS 8.5.
I left CDRTK behind because I was lucky enough to get an APS CD-ROM driver (bundled with my first CD-RW drive) that supports my PCC PowerTower Pro's optical drive, at least through OS 9.1. The driver was discontinued many years ago by the now-defunct APS, and I doubt that anyone still cares whether the driver is freely distributed now. So if you like, I'll email you a copy and you can see whether it supports your drive.
There was also a patch that could be applied to one of Apple's CD-ROM driver versions to make it support a larger variety of third-party drives, but I've forgotten all the details myself.

ISight not working for non-Apple apps under particular user account

I noticed that my iSight built into Macbook Pro 15" is not working anymore for non-Apple apps (Skype and Webex at least) and working for Facetime and Messages Beta under same account.
I tried to test it using different account on OS X with Skype and it is working great!
I'm using 10.7.3.
Any advice?

Hi,
I take it that in System Information the camera is listed under USB items ?
Your speps say OS x 10.7.2
Have you updated to OS X 10.7.3 ?
If you have I would start with that by doing a COMBO Version (Not using Software Update)
This will be everything that has been updated since OS X 107 came out and may catch those hard to trace issues.
Using the FInder > Go Menu > Hold the ALT key and Select the Library that appears > then navigate to Preferences.
In here find the Skype .plist.
Open it with Quick Look.
Can you capture that (Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) + Shift + 4 together (Also tap space bar at the end to get the Window) ) ? and post it here.
I don't use Skype and don't have the .plist to see if it lists the camera.
If it does it might pay to delete the.plist and force Skype to re-***** the hardware. (It also depends how much of your other settings are in there)
In the meantime if you go to the Skype Preferences can you see a Preview of the camera ?
Can you turn Off access to the camera and turn it On again in Skype ?
Skype does use Flash Player to do the Video.
Is Webex a browser led thing that uses Flash ?
If it looks like it is a Flash Issue do you have the GoogleTalk Video Plugin installed (there is a standalone and it is part of Chrome) ?

"Erase Free Space" work-around for non-apple ssd

for those of you attempting to "Erase Free Space" per knowledge base article:
"OS X Lion v10.7.3: User account passwords appear in log files for Legacy FileVault, and/or network home directories"
quote:
"6. Open Disk Utility.
7. Select your OS X Lion volume on the left.
8. Click "Erase Free Space…".
9. Select the Erase Free Space Option you want and click "Erase Free Space". Enter admin name and password if prompted."
but instead seeing a grayed out "Erase Free Space" in Disk Utility?
you can perform an "Erase Free Space" by using WipeFS app by Jonathan Clark which can successfully perform a DoD (Department of Defense) wipe for digital media, apple's Disk Utility doesn't do this anymore with non-apple solid state drives (ssd)
references:
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS4272
http://itunes.apple.com/hr/app/wipefs/id484887048?mt=12

...but instead seeing a grayed out "Erase Free Space" in Disk Utility?
See,
Mac OS X: About Disk Utility's erase free space feature
which says,
Note: With OS X Lion and an SSD drive, Secure Erase and Erasing Free Space are not available in Disk Utility. These options are not needed for an SSD drive because a standard erase makes it difficult to recover data from an SSD. For more security, consider turning on FileVault 2 encryption when you start using the SSD drive.
Also google "erasing space on ssd".
Bottom line, it is not something you want to do to a ssd.

TC as Extender for Non-Apple Router?

I have given up on my TC as a wifi router and will be replacing it with a Buffalo AirStation N450. I'm going to leave it connected to the network to continue to use its internal drive and I would also like to use it as an extender for the Buffalo. Does anyone know if this is possible? Has anyone used a TC or an AEBS to extend a wifi network from a non-Apple router?

LaPastenague wrote:
You cannot extend non-apple wifi.. with an Apple router. To make it clear the TC can be client of the buffalo but not repeater. That is also a poor way to do thing with repeating slowing wireless by half.
You can use EOP adapters and run the TC as a roaming wireless access point. That is relatively easy.
That answers the question. An EOP adapter was my second choice, although using the TC to extend the network is less important than keeping its internal drive on the network for Time Machine backups. I've never been satisfied with its wifi performance and I've finally gotten fed up enough with its wifi glitches to replace it.

Adapter for non Apple headphones?

Hey all,
I know adapters exist that allow me to use none apple headphones with the Touch/iPhone, I just want to know which you guys think is the best?
The Apple, Belkin and Monster adapters all seem to have bad reviews, due to them being bulky and inflexible. Which would you guys recommend?
Cheers!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The +iPod touch+ can use any headphones right out the box, no adaptors needed.
The iPhone will need an adaptor for some headphones. If you want advice about the adaptors best to ask in the iPhone forums as we don't have much experience of them here.

Can you still get store credit for non-Apple repaired phone?

Hi all,
My brother has an iPhone 5 which recently has a malfunctioning screen - it is out of warranty so replacing it will cost $250. My family is thinking of switching over to a different carrier and we were planning on returning our iPhones for Apple credit. I was wondering if I were to get a non-Apple certified replacement screen, would I still be able to return the phone for Apple credit? Or, if I were to go ahead with the $250 replacement, will I still get the full credit on the iPhone 5 back (valued at $375)?
Thanks!

Some US Apple stores are now able to in-store repair iPhone 5-series devices...teh price for the screen is $149. Check with your Apple store to see if they can do the repair.

IPodTouch SDK for non apple bluetooth device

I need to know if I can programmatically connect my iPod Touch (OS 3.0) to a non apple blue tooth device using the Apple iPod SDK.
I know that I can connect my iPod Touch (OS 3.0) to other iPods using GameKit API, But can I connect to other non apple Bluetooth devices?

But can I connect to other non apple Bluetooth devices?
An iPhone or touch will connect to non-Apple branded devices via Bluetooth now, such as Motorola headphones or Jensen car stereos for audio playback and phone calls.
You need to specify what you want to do exactly if your plan is outside those types of connectivity. Other uses can include proximity and remote speaker applications.
You might want to look over the External Accessory framework, released with 3.0.
...keep in mind, however, that the only way to communicate with other BT devices via the EAF is if they are in the 'Made for iPod' accessory program. http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/accessories/
However again.... Even though they communicate through standard BT connections, accessories need special hardware in order to process the data stream coming from the iPhone / iPod touch. Unfortunately, this may mean that any idea of communicating with generic BT devices won't work on iPhone OS 3.x.
If the devices you want to talk to are Bonjour-discoverable via WiFi, they don't need to be part of the MfI program. Does that sound like your case?
Also you may want to keep in mind that 3rd. party devs in the future may release dongles that connect via the 30-pin dock port, providing access to existing BT devices. If said devs opened their communication protocols, that might enable the goal of communicating with said devices.

ITunes HD content for non-apple tvs now?

So now that Apple are well and truly plugging their mac mini as a great device to play movies through iTunes onto your HDTV, will they ever come to the real party and allow HD content for download onto non apple tv products?!
The mac mini is great but it's crippled as an iTunes device if you can't buy or rent HD content.

Purchasing HD content in countries other than the US is
based solely on licensing agreements with the studios
and not an Apple decision. Streaming to devices is a
different license than delivering a permanent copy. And
streaming can also be limited from one provider to the next.
Bottom line, the studios decide what Apple can or cannot
sell or stream.

Sound not working for non-apple Programs/plugins

I can't seem to get any sound out of flash based websites, excel (when saving for example), or several other apps.
Quake 3, and itunes still work perfectly fine.
Also, since this happened, quicktime video playback is very choppy (stopping for up to 10 seconds at a time).
This happened after installing Flip4Mac, but I've uninstalled it and nothing has changed. I can't watch youtube at all. I've turned the volume settings for the system and for the actual youtube player all the way up and down and I've seen no change.
I can view the video (and websites) but I get no sound. The same thing occurs on other user accounts on this machine as well. Very strange.
The ads on Apple.com work fine with sound and smooth playback, but MPG videos on my computer don't seem to have sound and play very choppy. The Startcraft 2 gameplay demo plays fine (AVI) and WMV's work, but MPG's and flash sites don't have sound.

Disable auto launch for non apple cameras?

iPhoto launches automatically with non-iOS cameras, how do I disable?
(no application is selected)

Disable it in Image Capture.
With your camera or card reader connected launch Image Capture. Select the camera in the sidebar.
In the lower left corner of the window is a disclosure triangle. There you can also set which app should open for each camera. You will have to do this for each card you are using with your cameras.

Using macbook as a wireless router for non-apple devices

im trying to use my mac as wireless router for my xbox. i went into share under system preferences, and made a network with a WEP password. I can see the network on my xbox but it requires an IP adress...
i guess what im really asking is, if the mac can automatically assign IP adresses to devices on the network

I use my MBP regularly to share internet connection with PCs. Usually the PCs do a 'search' for a network and then 'connect' to the network name set in the Airport options... drop down panel. They get the IP automatically.
In the system preferences>share> there is a button on the right bottom which says 'airport options..' and in the drop down panel, you set the name or SSID and the WEP key.
Maybe you should check XBOX settings if the network settings are manual or automatic?
Hope that helps.

Two-page spread for non-Apple printed book

This is probably going to sound complicated:
I'm in a small program, and we want to create a yearbook, which we decided to do ourselves since there's so few of us. The book will have pages of events and groups, of course, but also "profile pages" where photos focused on a single person are included.
Two of the people in the program are married to each other. Naturally, I want their pages to be side-by-side. More than that, though, I want to have a picture right in the middle of their two pages that I got from their wedding. In the picture, they have their arms linked, so the idea is that the gutter of the book will separate the photo with the man on the left (and his "profile page" will then go on the left), and the woman on the right (with her profile page).
I hope that makes sense so far.
The question is, how do I ensure I lose as little as possible in the gutter if I'm printing with a service other than Apple? Apple's just a bit too expensive for over a dozen books, so I'm looking at mostly Inkubook or Viovio. I've already set up a custom book in Aperture with the page sizes set to 8.7" x 11.2" (to account for 0.1" trim) and an inside margin of 0.25" (for the gutter).
Viovio has a suggestion on their website that images overlapping two pages should have a portion duplicated on either page, with the size of that duplication being equal to the size of the gutter (so the right image duplicates 0.25" of the photo on the left and the left duplicates 0.25" of the photo on the right).
Does that sound like it will work? And then, should I have the same photo on both pages with a duplicated area of 0.5" (the two gutters) or 0.7" (gutters plus trims)? To that end, how do you even measure distances in Aperture - I don't seem to be able to find a ruler of any kind, which makes putting equal spaces between photos and borders on pages very hard as well.
If that doesn't make sense, which I know it may not, let me know and I'll try to clear it up...

Two page spreads are tricky and will depend on how the binding is done by the third party printer. If you look closely at the PDF file created by Aperture for books, you'll notice that the individual pages of a two page spread do not absolutely bisect the image you've aligned across the two pages. Rather, the inside binding-side edges will give you a little extra bleed, so that in binding with the book pages spread open, you'll see one continuous image without white space.
I can't say for certain because I've not used a printer other than Apple, but I would imagine that there is variance from printer to printer w/respect to this center margin.
Of course, I could be entirely wrong.

ISight camera stopped working for non-Apple software after last OSX update

I did the last OSX update last night and my iSight camera stopped appearing for Skype, Yahoo Messenger, and Zoom.us
The camera is accessible to FaceTime and PhotoBooth
I did a restore from time machine and the camera worked (the restore took 3 hours)
Then I applied the update again and the camera disappeared
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks

You're most welcome.
If you get tired of waiting, the fix has worked for some.
