DVD driver for windows

Hi there,
Can anyone point me to the Windows 8 driver for the Optiarc AD-5690H DVD/CD drive on the 27" iMAC?  Som reason, Windows 8 can't see the Optiarc drive at all.
Many thanks for your help.

For anyone who comes across this ...
... I had the same problem in Windows 7 64 bit and found I solved it by reinstalling bootcamp.
Hope this helps.

    I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

  • How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time?

    How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time? It brings up the window with that world map to do it, including the warning that "this is the 5th and final time I can do this", when inserting a DVD and opening "DVD Player", but it never executes my click on the "Change Drive Region" button prompt.
    VLC or Quicktime Player won't play it either, but won't bring up that window to change Region Code anyway....
    Otherwise, I'm not having any other issues with this MBP at all. Peak performance on all counts :-)
    I tried resetting SMC after chatting w/ Apple Support, but it didn't help.
    That was the link they provided. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
    Tried zapping PRAM as well.
    Thanks for any clues, Rene

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25416?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • HP Officejet 4255 driver for Windows 7, 32 bit. Not in pull up list or OS(can't update)

    HP Officejet 4255 driver for Windows 7, 32 bit.
    Driver is not in pull up list and not in OS(can't update OS basic). Almost all series are listed but 4200 series is missing. 
    After upgrade to Windows 7, it has become a problem. Some solution should be given.
    Can someone help?

    Ok, I found in the Net the drive 7uw706ww.zip, which is Version 6.1.4.2, while the updated version is 6.1.10.5 (7UW708WW).
    I tried again the GPS, and it wasn't working.
    Anyway, before downgrading, I tried to reinstall the new driver, downloading and installing the .exe instead going through System Update.
    Result: now GPS is working (same place, same conditions, just 5 minutes later)!
    Don't know where the difference is...

  • Lenovo Thinkpad 8 Wifi driver for Windows 10?

    I've installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Lenovo Thinkpad 8. It's been working pretty nicely, except for one thing: the Broadcom Wifi card driver (Broadcom BCM4324 Wireless LAN Driver). Since this doesn't work I have to use a USB antenna.
    This driver has gotten no update since the release of the Thinkpad 8! I tried running it in "Windows 8 compatibiliy mode" and that still doen't work. Does anŷone know of a possible way to make it work (either with an update, or an older driver in compatibility mode)? Any idea or suggestion (or word from Broadcom) is welcome!

    I had the same problem and installed the Win 8.1 version of the driver.
    First deinstall the microsoft driver, download the driver from http://support.lenovo.com/<xx>/<xx>/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-8/?tabName=Down...
    replace <xx> by your language code. eg. en (my language code was de)
    look for Broadcom BCM4324 Wireless LAN Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit) - ThinkPad 8 or (64-bit in case)
    Start the installer and you're done.

  • HP Deskjet 1280 Driver for windows 8.1 Pro

    Hi Team,
    I have upgraded my compter operating system from windows 7 professional to windows 8.1 pro now, I unable to install  HP deskjet 1280 printer to new operating system. 
    Can you please send me a link to download the driver.
    Regards,
    Umesh

    Hi @Umesh_kanth ,
    I understand that you need the driver for Windows 8.1. I would be happy to help you.
    I checked the website and unfortunately there isn't any drivers to be able to download for Windows 8.1 for the HP Deskjet 1280 Printer. But you should be able to install the printer with a Windows generic driver. Plug the printer into the computer to see if Windows will automatically install a OS. driver.
    You might have to add the driver manually, here are the steps:
    Go to the start up screen. (tiles menu)
    Type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers.
    Click on Add Printer and follow the steps.
    Select the HP Deskjet PCL3 Class Driver from the list.
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

    I cannot find a driver for Windows 7, 64 bit to run the Photosmart 325 printer. Does one exist? Is there a work around? (The driver for Windows 7, 32 bit does not work)

    Use the Photosmart 320 series driver available through Windows Update.

  • Installing HP Laser Jet 5 driver for Windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit

    I had an issue with installing an HP LaserJet 5 printer to a WIndows 7 64-bit box.  I thought I would post my experience and solution to this problem so that others can quickly resolve similar issues.
    If you connect as I did with a Parallel Printer-to-USB cable, then Win-7 searches for drivers automatically. But none werre found. However, using "Add Printer" via Control Panel/View Devices and Printers/Printers and Faxes, then left click starts the process for finding and installing the HP driver needed.
    No need as others have suggested to go to HP Support Center to install their Universal Printing PCL 5 driver found here:
    www1.hp.com/...Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5/
    Hope this helps speed you on your way!

    Thanks for sharing your tip RatioCynic!  That's what this forum is all about!
    Happy printing!
    Thanks!

  • CORRECT DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 7 AND HP COLOR LASER JET 4600dn

    I'm having a problem with our IT department.  My old 4600dn worked great until they started downloading new drivers for Windows 7, which they installed just recently.  Now the one he INSISTS I use has only one tray selection.... Auto.  I'm trying to print business cards..(absolutely no problem till now).... but he INSISTS that this is the only driver. Then he wants me to choose Pg.....select 1, then MANUAL DUPLEX.  That's almost impossible for the printer. I'm almost POSITIVE you have a print driver that will allow me the tray selections I had before he installed Windows 7 and this particular driver.  I always used "Tray 1," CURRENT PAGE, it zoomed through the perforated cardstock like a streak!!!!  Now, the poor printer is trying to run perforated cardstock through the duplexing unit.  Out of 10 pages of cards, I ended up with 1 front printed and 9 pieces of cardstock that stuck in the tray and jammed in the duplexing unit.  Is there a CORRECT print driver for this particular printer that will allow all my normal functions to be visible and viable?  I don't have the model, nor serial #, as it is work printer and I'm at home now, so I can't get on chat.  He is hard to get along with and has been playing games this whole time.  I found one driver he inadvertantly left a day and a half ago and printed the cards like lightening, as it used to....7 minutes and I had 200 cards for two different staff members.  PLEASE HELP!  I think he's leading me down a merry path.  It also has to be able to duplex fairly heavy graphic pages...and even the driver he accidently left as an option, won't print the graphics.  I just KNOW you have a driver with all the options that will allow it to print to Windows 7 Operating System with all the former options.  HELLLLLLLP!  
    Thanks sooooo much!

  • Use external drive for windows and mac

    Hello,
    I just bought a external 320Gb Western Digital Drive. I would like to use
    the drive for windows and mac.I will not like to make partation on the drive
    to use it on both operating systems. Is there any formating system with which i can use in both operating systems? I would like to use time machine feature on that drive also.
    Thanx.

    If you want to use a disk for both PC/Mac file storage and Time Machine, you will have to create two partitions. Partitioning is sort of like creating multiple virtual disks on the same physical disk. One partition should be formatted for PC (which the Mac can also use) and the other should be formatted for HFS+ (Mac only) which is what Time Machine requires. The Disk Utility application makes partitioning and formatting very easy.

    The drivers are available via Windows Update, follow these steps to install the printer:

  • X301 and Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)

    Ok, I (Lenovo) did it again.
    System Update showed me this update: "Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)".
    As I'm using Vodafone and I had a AT&T driver, I decided to update.
    The result is, that now the GPS doesn't work.
    Yes, I'm in a place where the GPS signal is present (my house, with the previous driver I was able to get 6/7 satellites).
    What happens? Lenovo TV GPS stays there trying to fix the satellites, but nothing happens. I can't recover the system to a previous state, as I updated Flash player too, and Windows only show me the possibility to roll back this update.
    So, apart advicing everyone not to update, I kindky ask:
    - where can I found the previous driver? I searched the web without success...
    - why does Lenovo deploy driver which can cause problems (I just had one updating the BT driver last week! .msi installer problem, error 1935...)?
    Thanks to everyone

  • Recommend a good external DVD drive for Mac?

    can anyone recommend a good external rewritable DVD drive for my EMac? i want something that will work with iDVD of course... thanks in advance.

    LaCie is one. The Macally 500BC Firewire/USB 2.0 enclosure with a separate Pioneer S-Drive is another viable option.
    I personally use multiple ADS Tech 1394 Pyro FW Enclosures with a Pioneer 110D S-Drive as well as a few ext. FW HD's and they all work well on mult. G4 systems (completely interchangeable via FW 400).
    This link may help you to build your own S-Drive if you wish:
