DR8-A using G05 dye discs

Have noticed that G04 dye based discs are being phased out!
Currently have DR8-A 150D in pc, tried to burn onto DVD-R using nero at 4X all went well for 4 minutes then error returned on screen 'focus error'.
Burnt onto G04 no problem tried again with G05, no go again.
Does anyone know if this drive is capable of burning onto to these latest discs or do i have to ditch the drive?
Cheers

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • Need help in using mac installation disc

    hi guys, my out of warranty macbook's hdd has died on me... so i went out to get a replacement 320GB sata drive, everything was working fine, and macbook detected the hdd, i am able to install my mac osx tiger using the recovery disc, but during the last portion of the installation of disc 2, it say there is a error installing this software it always happen at the same spot, when it's trying to install garageband.
    is there something wrong with my macbook, or is it because of the installation disc, i'm at a very very lost state without my macbook T_T

    Hello,
    Since GarageBand requires 4.3 GB of drive space, check available space on the disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.

  • About a year ago I purchased the student addition of the Adobe Creative suite 6 Design Standard and just recently purchased an additional computer for my home. Can I use the same disc that I previously purchased to download the program?

    About a year ago I purchased the student addition of the Adobe Creative suite 6 Design Standard and just recently purchased an additional computer for my home. Can I use the same disc that I previously purchased to download the program?

    Yes, as long as the machine meets the system requirements for the software you can install and activate it.  Your license allows you to have the software installed and activated on two machines.

    I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
    Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?

    There's an old saying.  If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup.  That's just lesson #1.  Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update.  Not a good thing.
    OK, I'm sure you know this.  It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
    You're pretty much in a bad place.  My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed).  You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps.  I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
    Good luck.

  • My HD is almost full. I need to add space. Can I use an external HD to continue using my startup disc as it is?

    My HD is almost full. I need to add space. Can I use an external HD to continue using my startup disc as it is?
    I create music and have run out of space. the message says 'your startup disc is almost full', and i just thought maybe buying an external hard drive and using it as the startup disc or whatever would do the trick. Does anyone know? Thanks!

    External hard drives are relatively inexpensive...see some of those on OWC, www.macsales.com
    You can use a large external drive to provide additional space by simply saving material to that volume instead of the startup disk.  You can also partition the external drive to use part for Time Machine backups, and another partition for extended space.  Or a third partition for a clone of the boot system made by Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, both free downloads, so should the internal drive have problems you could always boot from the external partition.
    All of that can be done from Disk Utility.
    Keep in mind that Mac OS X gets very unhappy when there is less than 15% of the startup disk space free.

  • Can I use a recovery disc on a new 120 GB SSD for HP Envy 17 that previously had 2 500GB RAID 0?

    I currently have a HP Envy 17-2070NR.  I would like to install a new SSD (120 GB) to replace one of the 500 GB HD that are currently in the laptop (the 2 drives are set up RAID 0). 
    If I install the new drive and remove the two old ones can I use the recovery discs to reinstall windows/drivers/default programs?

    The 500GB MyBook Pro should work fine. Just be sure to use a Firewire connection (not USB) to your Mac and format the drive as Mac OS Extended - Journaled. It will come from the factory as FAT32, so you'll need to reformat it. But wait - don't reformat it until you offload the ButtonManager, FW Driver and Retrospect software. You will need the first two to install your drive.
    And that's one of the reasons I stay away from the MyBook drives - they were really designed for Windows systems, not Macs. For one, they have their own FireWire drivers and I see no reason to be required to install device-specific drivers on my Mac in order to use a consumer-grade hard drive. As far as I'm concerned, that's just bad design (or, perhaps design for systems other than Macs ...).
    The 500GB Lacie Big Disk did get a bunch of bad reviews. However, the 500GB Lacie d2 Extreme is the same price and has much better reviews. The Lacie d2 Extreme drives are quite reliable; I have many and not one of them has failed me over the years. The 320GB d2 Extreme is currently $140 at newegg.com. See how that compares to the price of the MyBook.

  • Can I use a photo disc downloaded from the camera with a PC?

    Yes provided the photo format is compatible with the Mac. I suspect it is JPG format which is compatible.

  • Using G3 install disc on a G4

    I bought my iBook used and still have the previous owner's passwords installed on it.
    this makes life a little difficult so I would like to re-install using the install disc that came with my old G3 iBook.
    will this work or do I have to find a G4 install disc?
    additionaly, since this particular model only has a CD-ROM reader and no DVD reader, will this present a problem?
    thanx in advance.

    If the iBook is an "education" configuration it has only a CD-ROM drive. Your best bet is my previous suggestion. If the original owner can't provide the install discs, Apple can. They'll sell you a set of Restore Discs at a lesser price than Tiger ($129 + 9$9.95 for the CD set).

    I recently purchased an old iMac G3 Macintosh. I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc? I've seen the newer Apple products with the dock, if I update my iMac G3, will it have that, and if so, how can I do that?

    I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc?
    If you mean the iMac does not have an internal optical drive capable of reading DVDs, the only option requires another Mac with a DVD-capable drive and FireWire ports. Your iMac G3 will also require FireWire ports. Not all G3 iMacs have Firewire. FW started with the Summer 2000 models with 400mHz and faster processors.
    With FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk mode to install from a retail OS install DVD in another Mac. If you supplemental info info tells us if you have another Mac with a DVD reader and the FW ports, we can walk you through the process.
    If the iMac has a tray-loading drive, I'd forget it. They are very limited not only in the OS max (10.3.9) but also in RAM capability. Starting with the slot-loading iMac G3s, the max RAM increased to 1 GB (2 X 512MB modlules). Tiger likes 1GB RAM.
    Understand that pre-Intel Macs are getting harder to use. Even with 10.4.11, your choice of browsers is limited (TenFourFox is the most viable option) and the G3s  rudimentary video hardware means web browsing will be choppy at best.
    If you are in the USA, you can try calling the Apple Store (1-800-MY-APPLE) for an OS disk. As recently as Jan 20, someone posted here that they were able to buy Tiger by calling. It was not clear whether the disks were replacement system install/restore disks or full retail install, but it's a free call.
    When you do "About this Mac" to check teh OS verion, also look at the processor speed and tell us what that says. That can help with recommendations for an upgrade path.

  • I re-started my computer using the origional disc and my I tunes are gone...????? help

    I re-started my computer using the origional disc and my i tunes are gone...???? help please

    You erased them when you reinstalled your operating system, obviously. If you have a backup, as you should have for any important files, just restore from the backup. All is not lost if you don't have a backup, though. Make sure you have at least iTunes 10.3.1, then go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the new Purchases link under the Quick Links. The new iTunes in the Cloud service, currently in beta as part of iCloud, may allow you to re-download your purchased content (music, videos and TV shows only; movies cannot be re-downloaded at this time). You can also do this from an iOS device.
