CD's don't read on BW G3 running OSX, but do on same machine running OS 9?

Hello. We are archiving files here in our office and we are still working on older machines. We have one BW G3 that is running OSX. We are verifying all the CDs burned correctly by inserting them in the CD drive and checking that the files are there and the CD opens, etc.
It appears that a random selection of CDs do not want to show up on the BW G3 running OSX? But, if we take them to the BW G3 still running OS 9 as native they show up fine.
Does anyone know why this is? We don't want to run into problems accessing our archives once we do a full upgrade to new hardware and software. Most of the CDs were burned from the computer running OSX.
Thanks for any suggestions.

There are no well-known problems that would cause this discrepancy. OS X should read everything that OS 9 can read.
If you are using two different Blue & White G3s, you are making some unstated assumptions: That the hardware in each Mac is identical, clean, and working correctly.
Some very old CD drives cannot read CD-RW disks, but most have no problem with CD-R Disks. Occasionally you may find a drive that demands a slower burn speed, or a different colored dye to read reliably.
One of your CD drives could have a dirty lens. The easiest place to start is with an Audio CD lens-cleaner disk. You can use CD/DVD Player or iTunes to run it. Several passes may be required because data drives change tracks much more quickly and may not linger on the cleaning track long enough for a good cleaning in one pass.

Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini. I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

I have my iMac G3 set up with three partitions like you are proposing.
I'd recommend getting virtual box on your new Mac. You can install the latest Linux version easier this way.
The problem is finding a PPC distro you like. I forget how I configured the Linux boot manager, yaboot. I may have skipped it or had it installed in the linux partition.

The Ubuntu folks stopped supporting the power PC a while back. You will have to install an older version of Ubuntu.

Yup, restarted my system. First thing I did was open Firefox and try to open a .pdf.
There isn't an Acrobat icon in my system tray, and it's not showing up in my task manager, so is there another way of seeing if it's open?

Iphoto 08 don´t read the library

iphoto 08 don´t read the library. The library is 35 gigas, if I see the package contents and go to originals, I can see all the photos, but I need that the iPhoto reads my folders and everything in the same way that it did until 2 weeks ago. Any help??, thanks.

Easiest solution: Restore from back up.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Quick Time Player don't read the Apple Intermediate Codec

Hi there:
I have updated to Mavericks and now Quick Time Player don't read the Apple Intermediate Codec, needs convert the movie to Apple ProRess 422.
I've installed Final Cut. Any ideas?
tnxs!!

What are your goals. If playback is all you want, use the QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, MPlayerX, Flip Player, or any other app that plays content using your system's AIC, Animation, PNG, DV stream, etc. codec configuration which QT Player X v10.3 now only uses as conversion assets. As to what is happening here, it would seem that Apple has now added a full encode/decode codec to the default system codec component configuration under Mavericks which may be replacing AIC as the default "poor man's" standard codec for for HD content. As to editing apps, iMovie v10.0 still accepts and natively uses AIC for editing projects but zI am not using FCP X, so I cannot make any comments regarding its compatibility.

DVD-RAM on Tecra A2 don't read DVDs and CDs

Hi everyone,
I have mat****a DVD-ram UJ-820S which don't read my DVDs but reads CDs. I have reinstalled my OS to see any changes, still no hope. I have burned an operating system on a DVD and try booting from the DVD and somehow it works, but when it goes to windows it stop reading any disc, and shows me that the disc is empty.
Any suggestions please?

I have a m-audio producer usb microphone and since the update on Dec. 22, 2013 Logic hasn't been allowing me to record with it. Logic is reading the microphone as the input but the audio tracks don't have the record enable button and won't let me select an input for the audio track on the inspector panel. What are some possible solutions.

Certain M-Audio USB devices (along with some other USB2 class compliant devices that don't use drivers) no longer work with Logic Pro X 10.0.5
At this time it is unknown as to why this has happened. Nor is it known if Apple will need to fix it or if it is up to the Developers of said USB2 devices to remedy the problem.
In the mean time, assuming you made/could make backups prior to updating to 10.0.5.... the solution is to roll back to LPX 10.0.4...

It read DVDs and Data CDs but no audio CD of any kind comercials or CD-R

Any Help ?

John: Since your drive mechanism is plainly working OK, your problem is probably software-related. But to begin at the beginning, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25392
There are many links in that article to other articles. Resist the impulse to jump at any of them until you've worked your way through the whole article. My guess is that you'll end up following the link for software troubleshooting, but don't take my word for it: see whether the steps in the first article really lead you there.
If you can't get anywhere that way, try posting in the OS X 10.3 and earlier Usage forum, being sure to provide any additional details, including what you've tried to do in the way of troubleshooting. (There's no point in people suggesting things you've already tried, so don't waste their time or yours.) Good luck!

Buonasera, scrivo molte e-mail con iPad e dopo gli ultimi aggiornamenti vedo che ancora NON è stato migliorato il correttore automatico dei termini ITALIANI. Si lo so la nostra lingua è molto articolata, ma non si puo accettare la seguente correzione:
dott.sa WAGGT con Sto arrivando! WAGGT noi italiani, usiamo moltissimo approrre il titolo di studio prima del nome del destinatario.
Inoltre è molto difficile inserire il verbo è.
Altri suggerimenti non me li ricordo ma se mi sarete di aiuto, li annoterò per scegnalarveli.
Ringraziando per la vostra attenzione, saluto.

My mid 2010 Macbook pro running OSX 10.8.4 sd card reader will not work

I have a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 model running OSX 10.8.4. I don't use the card reader very often so I can't tell you the last time it worked, but I have used it a few times without issue. (probably not for at least a year though)
I searched the forums and it seems this was an older problem with lots of suggested fixes. I tried blowing air through the slot and I also went looking for XQuartz but cannot find it under my utilities. (I assume it must be in the X11 category that is no longer supported under 10.8.4?)
I have tried putting it in all the way and pulling it out slightly as one person suggested and that also did not work.
Any ideas? For the first time in a long time I need the card slot and it doesn't feel like cooperating. LOL
edited to add that I am trying to access a Sony SDHC 32GB card model SF-32NX
Thanks in advance,
Wayne

If you haven't already done so, eject the card by dragging its icon to the Eject icon in the Dock (where the Trash icon usually is.) Make sure the write-lock switch on the card is in the unlocked position. Then reinsert the card and test.
If there's no change, and the same happens with more than one card, the card reader is stuck in write-locked mode. I don't generally advise do-it-yourself hardware repair, but one ASC member managed to fix this problem. I haven't tried the fix myself and I can't offer any guidance beyond what's in that discussion. If you cause damage, don't expect your warranty to cover it. I suggest you instead make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
