DV7-1232nr LT smartcard reader sees but won't view/copy files despite admin/login; MS SW.

Despite being logged as admin, even sharing drive/folder, taking ownership, command prompt xcopy & in Vista Hm Prem, nothing will view or copy files to my PC! I've wasted 6 hours trying today, & the driver download is same as driver on LT, so that's no help--I had hoped to find an updated driver to fix this! The card is a Sandisk Micro-SD 2GB with adapter, fits & reads fine, but "access denied" for every attempt! I even changed ownership on each file, but it didn't change the access denied problem. I rebooted, tried diagnostic startup (in case of conflicts), tried shutting user acct. control off, etc. Since it's NOT sdhc (2gb & < qualifies), why won't the reader allow access to my files??? Do I need to use a different card reader through USB??? Then what good is the card reader installed?
BTW, 2 files that weren't in the image folder were able to be copied, but not viewed, after changing ownership. However, none of the others could be copied to the image folder on SD card, never mind onto PC. My LT is <2yrs old, am having all sorts of problems, not happy with HP so-called support after 1 yr, no help on expensive purchase like this? The Windows upgrade expired after 1 yr too, plus I bought this in 2010, yet its full of 2008 devices & SW?! (Brand new special ordered through Staples locally). What's with the Office 60-day TRIAL, can't uninstall that without windows/boot probs & sound issues. I have free full Open Source Office installed instead & had to keep the other MS crap (Office & Works) to keep LT working!!!
I got so tired of this LT always needing fixing I shut it down for 6 mo.'s, come back & still spend more time fixing it than using it--and I'm an IT professional 20+ yrs. Linux &/or MAC sounding better everyday!

Pismo, OSC 10.3.9, VST Media Bay superdrive sees but won't mount 1.4mb flop

This worked a while back, likely earlier version of X, just tried it and it sees but won't mount or format a floppy that works fine in a Mac Mini (10.4.11 with a Teac external floppy drive)
About to travel, would rather take the Pismo with the VST drive in the 2nd bay --anyone recognize this problem?
Here's what the Profile sees:

Ok, using Yasu to flush all the caches, nothing else, and rebooting
-- did work for the VST ZIP module, which works, mounts a ZIP disk ok.
-- did not work for the HS-120 VST floppy module, but it's different.
Before it did not detect a floppy, just showed up on System Profiler as the drive being present.
Now, Disk Utility did detect a floppy as soon as I inserted one (as unreadable, though it's a Mac-formatted HD floppy; OSX (10.3.9) offered to format it). I tried letting it be formatted, it made all the right noises, but nothing changed. "Mount" is not an option. Tried DOS, no difference.
Well, one working VST module out of two isn't half bad in this case; I can stand traveling with an external USB floppy, they're small enough, and it's very handy to be able to use the VST ZIP where hauling around an old ZIP drive would be, in today's terms, just too much. But for a few extra backups, it's good to have.
Thanks! And I'll check back between trips in case anyone has other suggestions over time.

HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's

My HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's.
When I insert a CD, the drive tries very hard to read the CD but gives up after about a minute.
I get no error message. I do not see the Auto play message.
Windows Explorer does not recognize the DVD drive.
When I insert a DVD, I get the Autoplay menu, Windows Explorer recognize the drive and the DVD. I can play the DVD using any number of Video players.
I would welcome advice relating this problem.

your HP Pavilion needs a new DVD driver. I ran into many problems such as this when troubleshooting computers in school.
A DVD drive should play CD at any time: While a CD driver will not play a DVD disc. Do not think there is a problem with sofware because it will only throw your troubleshooting skills out the window and it will confuse you.

Safari 4.1.1 won't view pdf files

I am at a loss. All of a sudden I can't view any pdf files in safari. This is all new. I am assuming that when one of the 2 programs updated (either Safari or Acrobat) one of them did not like the other. I didn't have this problem until recently. I have read a lot of discussions on this & have deleted, changed preferences & all kinds of stuff & nothing has worked. Now I have NO clue how to fix this problem. I really need it fixed. Please help

HI,
Open Adobe Reader. Click Adobe Reader in the Menu Bar then click Preferences. Select Internet on the left. If you want Adobe Reader as your default reader, click the pop up menu next to: Display PDF in browser using:
Relaunch Safari and try viewing a PDF in Safari.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If you can view PDF files in Safari. move that .plist file to the Trash.

Cd/dvd rom reads cds but won't read dvds

I have a pbG4 titanium (M5884) with a MATSHITADVD-ROM (SR-8187) and am running 10.3.9. I can play cds fine, but when I attempt to insert a dvd, sometimes I hear something and it spits the dvd back out. Other times, it just holds the dvd and doesn't mount on my desktop. Is there any update that I need to install? I am trying to upgrade to 10.4 but my upgrade is on a dvd. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
It could mean your drive has come to the end of the rainbow and needs to be replaced. However, you could try running a DVD cleaning disc in the drive.
Is it only the install disc that won't mount? Have you tried a movie DVD? Check the install DVD to see if it is dirty or scratched.

Superdrive reads ok but won't succesfully write

Hello.
I have an imac PowerPC G5. I've burned many many CD's & DVD's over the 2 years I've owed this imac. Lately, many of the CD's & DVD's I burn on my imac are successfully burned but when played back on my imac or stand alone dvd/cd player there are skips, audio fades out, freezes up, etc.
I have a Superdrive (Pioneer DVR-K04F) which I used for read/write. Ripping DVD's or CD's onto my HD using this drive seems to work without problem. I can also play store bought DVD's or CD's or older DVD-r's/CD-r's using this same drive and everything works fine.
In order to remedy, I purchased a DVD lens cleaner with the tiny brushes and have since run the cleaning process 10+ times.
So, my question is: When the drive seems to play store bought discs fine and seems to rip store bought discs fine, but has trouble burning discs...what might be the problem? I'm guessing there are separate lenses for reading and writing (apologies for my lack of knowledge on how these things work)? So perhaps, the writing side of the superdrive is failing? Is this foreshadowing that the reading side will go soon too? Any suggestions on how to remedy?
Thanks very much for reading!
BB

I've been having issues with my Superdrive too. DVDs write ok, but burning CDs is a crapshoot. Audio CDs sometimes skip or have dropouts towards the end (which means the issues are at the outer edges of the CD, the opposite of a vinyl record).
Burning at less than 24x speed seems to help. I think the cheap CompUSA CD media I'm using is to blame. I need to stick with a better brand name. It's worth the expense. Cheap isn't cheap when you're burning nothing but coasters.
So that's my suggestion. Try a different brand, and burn at a slower speed.

Macbook super drive reads ok but won't burn cd- noisy

my macbook is 2 months old. it reads cd's and dvd's just fine.
but i tried to burn an audio cd and it gets stuck in the initializing mode
and then makes this awful sound. it does not eject the disc. i have to quit the burn process and then eject the disc. i have tried using different brands of discs,
all that seem to work fine in an older ibook i have.
is this drive defective?

I'm getting the same issue. What somebody else on these boards referred to as a "coffee grinder" noise when burning a CD-R. All I have right now is a stack of Verbatim 52x CD-Rs, and some work and some don't (the ratio is about 1:1). I need to find other media to try out.
I've never had this issue before in the year that I've owned my MacBook, and I've burned many, MANY discs.

R3000 - New battery reads 77% but won't operate laptop

Hi,
Compaq R3000, Celeron 2.8Ghz
This laptop came to me pretty much unused because of a failed Hard Drive. Successfuly replaced hard drive.
Original battery was showing 0% and refusing to charge so I assumed it was faulty (after several years of non-use) and replaced with a compatible battery. New battery is recognized by laptop & read 77% on first boot while running on Mains adaptor. Left charging overnight - in morning charge level still showed 77% but laptop will not run at all on the battery.
The new battery spec http://www.espow.co.uk/compaq-presario-r3000-laptop-batteries-p-5852.html
Have I got a faulty new battery or might something else be wrong?
Many thanks.

You will have to restore them to another Mac, TM is not my specialty so I will let another poster take you down that road.
Good luck

Lost boot drive, Disk Util on boot CD sees but won't mount

1. My boot drive stopped booting (running Tiger)
2. Booted to 10.2 install disc, Disc Util found "keys out of order" problem, couldn't fix.
3. On extra HD, installed 10.2, boots fine
4. Now, following master/slave jumper directions on
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=111769, I can't get the boot drive to act as a slave. ID conflict?
5. The goal is to try Norton Utilities (I have version 7, hope that's late enough) to repair the keys problem or at least recover data from the drive to the new boot drive, so I need them both up simultaneously
6. What am I missing here?
thanks

Apple (MIcroMat etc) warn to never use an older
version of any disk utility, including Apple's, on a
newer system. There is a TIL if you look for it.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301269
Hatter, thanks for that. I was explaining the forward compatibility thing to my wife last night. My hope HAD been to use Norton to recover files, but after what was posted above I'm glad it didn't boot!
The other is that some systems won't boot OS X from
slave drives, probably more so with 10.2 (can you say
"beta?").
Actually, I'm not trying to boot from a slave, instead I'm trying to get to the OLD Tiger boot drive (Keys out of order) AS a slave now. Can't get a jumper setting combo to work, no matter whose documentation I use. New, 10.2 boot drive is a Maxtor 90000 model, old boot (new slave) is Quantum Fireball EX.
you should be using your Tiger DVD; and you shouldn't
be using NUM 7 or 8 on Tiger. The first thing to try
is always fsck or a clone of the current/latest
system.
Um, if I had a Tiger DVD that would be great. If I had a DVD drive, even better! I'm having to scrounge here.
I don't think B&W will support Cable Select. I would
invest in a SATA/ATA controller for 2nd drive (and
better I/O).
See above on scrounging. I've been aware of the controller issue since the B/W rev 1, they came out the first time I worked at Apple. Which reminds me, I was an assassin there, had one of the best First Call Resolution numbers. Now, three, four years later, with a computer that has run flawlessly all that time, I've forgotten more than I ever knew!
Thanks.

CD/DVD reads disc, but won't allow downloading

I'm having an issue where my CD/DVD drive recognizes the CD or DVD, but when I try to download the content from the disc I receive error messages. Happens with any CD/DVD. For example I loaded the Turbotax disc and it recognized it as the Turbotax disc, but the content couldn't be downloaded to the PC. I'm wondering if I inadvertently deleted and app? Thoughts?

Hi mikejdale
Welcome to Apple Discussions
When you insert the TurboTax CD a window should open that lets you drag the TurboTax icon to your Application Folder.
Try this:
1. Close all open windows (the TT installer window my not come to the front of other open windows)
2. Drag the TurboTax icon the the Application Folder in that window.
3. Once TT is finished downloading eject the CD.
3. Update TurboTax

Tried to delete an FM book, but won't delete; however files are missing

I'm using RH7 in TCS1 in Windows Explorer.
I imported FM book files by reference into my project. I had forgotten to check abook file prior to import and didn't notice that the book file did not have the necessary graphics. So I fixed the file, then tried to update the book file in RH7. The graphics did not import into RH, so I thought I would start over from scratch and delete the book file in RH. It will not delete and causes RH to crash. The delete option is available, but it doesn't delete them.
So I went into Windows Explorer and deleted the files from there. Then I get a message that says files are missing, and that I need to delete them from Project Manager which is what I was trying to do in the first place.
Can someone please help me delete these files?

Just an update to this posting. I did not have the latest RoboHelp patches installed. For some reason, RH wouldn't let me install
them. So I had to have a complete uninstall of RH, then reinstall it. Once I did
that I installed all of the patches and my book files were deleted.
Case closed
