Do you have to setup a disk drive connected to a macbook or should it just work straight away when plugged in?

Do you have to setup a disk drive connected to a macbook or should it just work straight away when plugged in?

The Finder shouldn't show an empty optical drive. If the disk gets automatically ejected, there may be problems with the drive, or you may be inserting a blank CD or DVD into a drive incapable of burning it.

    Hi!
    This might be a stupid question, but I just bought an IPod G5 60 GB. When you firstconnect your IPod you have to setup your ID. I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
    Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
    Thanks!

  • How can you tell that you have the 24GB flash Hard Drive Acceleration Cache

    I bought laptop with 24GB flash Hard Drive Acceleration Cache but i don't see a ssd drive when i go to my computer.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Yes it does not mount as a lettered drive. It is combined with the main drive in a RAID array. Look in the list of programs and find Intel Rapid Storage Technology and open it up. If you have the 24 gig cache drive it will look something like this:
    See the two drives listed in the upper right corner?

  • You have an old emagic midi driver installed it can cause unreliable communication and crashes with GB

    When booting up Garage Band I got error message that reads " You have an old emagic midi driver installed this can cause
    unreliable midi communication and crashes. Yesterday tried installing an older Emagic Logic Version 5.5.1 with a XSKey Updater file.  Decided to remove the Logic Driver and with all Emagic files.  Garage Band suggests to download a newer emagic midi
    driver 1.5 from "www.emagic.de"  but this site no longer exist.  Was trying to get Logic Big Box 5 to run in order to purchase LOGIC EXPRESS V9.  Otherwise I have to spend $199 for the complete version.  Any help is recommended.

  • How to access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    How can I access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    ...Called it a roaming network.  Wireless mode is create a wireless network. I have checked allow this network to be extended.  Probably need to uncheck that?
    Yes, that option should be deselected as it only pertains to when both routers are interconnected by wireless. Since you have a roaming network, they of course, would be interconnected by Ethernet.
    The other important settings for a roaming network are:
    Each router must have a unique station name. For the AirPort, this would be called its Base Station Name. I believe the default station name for Linksys routers is: linksys
    Each router must broadcast a wireless network with an identical Network Name. For the Linksys, Network Name is the same as its SSID.
    Each router wireless network must use the same Wireless Security type and password. The Linksys WRT-54G is capable of up to WPA2 Personal. If you have it set to this level of security, the AirPort should be at the same setting.
    Make sure that each router is not on the same Radio Channel for the 2.4 GHz radio. In the US, there are basically only three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6, or 11. Set each so that they don't use the same channel but use of those three choices.

    Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead?  (The original source of your data)  If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
    You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
    You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
    Ciao.

  • Error: You have more than one Creative players connected. - Recovery Tool for ZEN

    My Zen 4GB cannot be turned on anymore after a failed firmware upgrade (The installation hung up). I tried to run the firmware upgrade executable file again but the player must be on. So I tried to hardware reset by switching the power slide on while pressing the play button, but it still doesn't start. I downloaded and ran the Recovery Tool while the player was connected, but an error message appeared: "ERROR: You have more than one Creative players connected. Please remove all but one, click "OK" to exit and then run this program again." - There was no other players connected but the ZEN. Please help... What can I do

    I have this very exact same problem with the same model. Did you ever find a solution to this?

  • Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and  both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey

    Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and  both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey can anyone help me please..

    A Verizon-model iPad can only work on CDMA with Verizon. You cannot use it with any other carrier. Apple, to my knowledge, has not released the iPad in Yemen, so there is no iPad you can use with any carrier there that works only on CDMA. You would need to find a GSM carrier and then get an unlocked GSM iPad.

  • HT1435 how long does the recycle program take or do they give you an ipod straight away when you are at the store.when you buy from the store do they do free ipod engraving

    how long does the recycle program take or do they give you an ipod straight away when you are at the store.when you buy from the store do they do free ipod engraving

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...
