CURRENT INFO ON REPLACING A SUPERDRIVE?

I have a G4 933 running 10.3.9 and my superdrive is not as super as it used to be. I've read all the threads about replacement drives and the Pioneer 110D seems to have been the drive of choice over the last 90 days. Before I buy and install, I wanted to check to see if anything new has surfaced in the way of replacement drives. I understand that I will not be able to take advantage of the faster DVD write speeds... is there another recommeded drive that will allow for this? Will I have to run Patch Burn with my config? If so, what will that accomplish for me?
Thanks,
Bruce

Miss Marcella:
Here's a link to videos of the installation procedure for various Macs. It's really a pretty easy procedure, as you'll see there, once you know where the mounting screws are located.

  • I got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this?

    i got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this and get my information back?

    Every backup replaces the old one, so, unless you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you can't get back your calendar info.
    The only time iTunes will not replace a backup is, when you use it to restore from, this one will stay in the backup list in iTunes.

  • Help required on replacing the Superdrive please!

    My internal superdrive gave up the ghost a few weeks back and I have been managing fine with a LaCie external DVD burner without a problem. However, i am thinking of selling my iMac to get one of the newer models and would like to replace the superdrive before selling.
    I have found these easy to follow instructions on how to remove the existing drive:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/imacg517inchOpticalDrive.pdf
    This all looks simple enough and was wondering if purchasing the Pioneer DVR-K06 would be a viable option as a replacement drive as it seems to only be about £35 ?
    http://www.play.com/Product.aspx?r=PCSH&title=3508472&source=9593
    Will this model fit ok into the space vacated by the Superdrive or is it particularly difficult operation to carry out for a novice?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Clearing can be performed, only if the GL account / Vendor account / customer account balance is 0.
    In your case the account balance must not be 0.
    Please check.

  • What drive to replace the superdrive with?

    A few days ago the superdrive in my Powermac G4 (MDD - 1.42Ghz) decided to start making tons of circular scratches in any disc that is inserted into the computer. I have a feeling it's going to have to be replaced (actually - this is the second superdrive in the computer. First one was replaced under warantee within the first year... but that's not an option anymore...)
    So... what drive should I use to replace it? Is it best to stick with whatever is currently in it - or is it possible to replace it with one of the new dual-layer drives found on dealmac? Most of those don't seem to be specifically mac compatible, but often times things like that work anyway. Does anyone have any experience replacing their superdrive with something else? How does iDVD, itunes, etc. work? Thanks!!!

    I installed the Pioneer DVR-111D in my MDD G4 and have not had any problems using it in any applications. I moved the OEM Combo drive down to the second bay and use it as the disk source for copying CDs and DVDs.
    BTW, IMO, the 111D is a very quiet and smooth operating drive compared to most optical drives I've heard.
    Note, you have to remove the 111D's tray faceplate to use it in the MDD G4 as the faceplate will interfere with the opening and closing of the flapper doors on the MDD G4. Not a big deal, just pry it up gently from the bottom with your fingers and it will pop off.
    Good luck.

  • How do I replace my superdrive in my late 2007 macbook pro 15 inch?

    My macbook pro doesn't read or burn CD's, doesn't burn DVD's. It's a 5 year old computer and I'm sure it's time to replace the superdrive in it. Is there a step by step procedure in doing this that I can do myself? I went into an apple store and was told the optical drive needs to be replaced. I'm assuming superdrive and optical drive are the same thing?....

    After you visit either PowerBookMedic.com or IFixIt.com to purchase a replacement that will surely surpass the original in terms of speed and reliability in burning, amble over to their DIY section where you will find either pictorial or video procedures.
    Yes, superdrive == optical drive.

  • Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion?

    Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion? The Apple website for this is "under construction" for weeks now...
    Thanks,
    [email protected]

    Certification test for OS X 10.7 Lion are not available yet. I assume they will be nearly identical to the test of 10.5 and 10.6. Hopefully, the reason the certification website has been down for a while is that they are updating it with the new information. Though I really wouldn't expect any 10.7 certification test to be available for 2-4 months. Peachpit Press didn't publish their training material for 10.6 until October even though 10.6 was released in August.
    As far as the 10.6 Certifications:
    Certified Support Professional, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 exam.
    Certified Technical Coordinator, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 as well as the 9L0-510 (Server Essentials) exams.
    The information for the Certified System Administrator, 10.6 is "hidden" on the integral7 website but according to this Wikipedia entry, you need to pass the 9L0-510 Server Essentials exam as well as these three:
    Directory Services
    Deployment
    Security and Mobility

  • Pls advise current info as to combining 3 iMovie projects into one iMovie. Thanks!

    Pls advise current info as to combining 3 imovie projects into one imovie.  I will finish with idvd.
    I am in a rush today to complete a video for my brother's memorial for tomorrow.  Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply, Klaus. I'm just now getting to try your suggestion to copy and paste from timeline rather than drag and drop from clipviewer. Alas, it seems to be choking terribly on the transfer. This video is not a 60 minute movie, either; it's about ten minutes. I has about 60 files to it. I did get to the point where I felt confident enough to empty the trash and save the project, so I assume the clips that are there are not still "attached" to the unedited dvs.
    Earlier I tried to export, in the advanced settings, to the full quality dv, but the quality really dropped, way too much for the intended use. I'm pretty much stumped at this point, unless I can hear some other suggestions.
    What I might try doing is simply dragging and dropping all the packet contents of the media folder into the other movie's media folder, but then I suspect I'll have to rebuild the darn thing from bits and pieces and it may be like putting Humpty Dumpty back together again...ugh.
    I'm sure I'm not the first person to face this challenge, am I? Of course, my lesson learned is to build one dvd's contents in one imovie project. If it weren't for the fact that I need to offer viewers the option to "play movie" (play all the videos as one movie) I'd simply drag each movie into iDVD and do it that way (the dvd showing each video separately).
    Would still love to hear of other possible solutions here, before trying some other forum.
    thanks!

    same has happened to me,  on and off,   for the last 6 months.   Its an issue with the Mavericks system and ipod classics.    works great for a while -  then one day for no reason - erases the entire iPod.   some days the copmputer will not recognize the iPod and you have to start over.  Apple will tell you that "you" may have a disc problem in the device.  that is all the help I have received.

  • HT1386 Where did "Info Advanced Replace Information on this iPhone" go in iTunes 12?

    On iTunes 12, I cannot seem to find the "Info > Advanced > Replace Information on this iPhone" functionality. I have a bunch of IMAP accounts, and while I could create or update them manually on the phone, that's extremely tedious. I can't seem to find this functionality in iTunes 12; has it been removed? Do we really have to create all accounts manually.
    (Note: This has nothing to do with iCloud; this is for IMAP mail accounts.)

    email account info no longer syncs. (way back from iTunes 11).
    Do we really have to create all accounts manually.
    Yes.
    Or just restore your new iPhone from the backup of yoru old iPhone.

  • I have purchased iphone 4 8gb in india. i have heard that when the company stops manufacturing the current phone, they replace it with 4s. is it true?

    i have purchased iphone 4 8gb in india. i have heard that when the company stops manufacturing the current phone, they replace it with 4s. is it true? can i get it replaced with iphone 4s 16gb or can i get it upgraded with iphone 16gb because 8gb is very less memory for me coz it hangs up all the time and apps dont work properly. any scheme where i can pay a bit and get it exchanged with any of them?

    Probably not.  If you want to purchase a new phone, then you'll have to sell your old one to fund your purchase of a new phone.
    As for iPhones, the phone that they will stop making is the iPhone 5.  This will not be made or sold any longer, because it has been replaced by the iPhone 5c and 5s.  You should still be able to get and iPhone 4 and 4s, although the iPhone 4 is old now in technology standards.
    To get a new phone though, you will likely have to sell your old phone to fund the purchase of a new one.  This is what most folks do.

  • Installing Encore (current info is out of date)

    The current info on how to install Adobe Encore CS6 to function with the CC suite is here: http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html
    It is outdated.
    The "More Information" button doesn't exist.
    Also, I found the Premiere Pro CC page, and was able to select "CS6" in the versions pull-down menu, but when I hit the download button, it starts to download CreativeCloudSet-Up.exe which I already have installed on my system, not Premiere CS6.  It prompts me to install Premiere from the manager...
    Help!

    Hi Arnonshorr,
    You can download CS6 Premiere Pro from the creative cloud installer.
    However if you are facing an issue. Please download CS 6 Premiere Pro directly.

  • Replaced bad superdrive with used ifixit model now burning not supported

    Hey,
    After using our computer as a dvd player for a year or so the superdrive was shot. I ordered a replacement from ifixit. It plays cds/dvds fine but will not burn. When I press the "burn" button in iTunes my computer says NOT SUPPORTED. ifixit sent me a TEAC DV-W28SLA that was SUPPOSED to work in my iBook.
    Does anyone out there know if this drive will even work in this computer and if so, how to make it happen. If this were a Windows machine I would try and find a driver online somewhere. But with OS X, I wouldn't know what to do with the driver if I found one!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  
    (NOTE: the Mac OS X (10.3.9) is just a guess, I have no idea what operating system I have. I can replace a superdrive but software gives me hives!)
