External Drive not supported, cant burn CDs, after 10.5.8 update

After having spent just about a month sorting out one massive irritation I now get another one.
My internal drive is not working, (disc stuck inside and I gave up on it almost a year ago. Please don't give any advice on how to get it out, it's a goner OK - not worth the fuss nor the $).
So I bought an external La Cie burner which has worked fine on 10.5.7 for well, almost a year. Since I updated yesterday to 10.5.8 i get a Finder burn message saying the drive is not supported.
What do I do then? I know this must be really easy (I hope). Thanks in advance

Thanks but there is no latest update. The Firmware is vLA00, current.
So what is going on? Why do they do 'up'dates when it's just a downdate fps....
OK rant over. What do I do now? How can I get back to 10.5.7? Should I even'
Help! Thanx in advance.
Oh, by the way. In System Profiler's > disc burning > burn support column it says it does have support
(Generic Drive Support). So why does it say it doesn't support the drive when i try to use it?

2.14 Library on external drive not supported by 3.1 how do I upgrade it?

I've moved and saved projects to external drives and into separate libraries. Upon upgrade to 3 it upgraded my attached drive and the library on the computer hard drive but when I connect other usb drives, it finds the 2.14 library but just alerts that it isn't supported. What can I do? Thanks, John

How are the external disks formatted?
I think A3 is more specific about the disk formatting then A2 was.

hmmm. i went to Toshiba to check for any available updates for your Satellite ... but they split out the downloads by subcategories for the A105, and so i'm not sure what your precise model is.
here's a link through to their technical support ... if you plug in the precise model number, are there any available updates for your particular type of A105?

Jabber 4.4 "Graphics card or driver not supported" error on one machine but not another.

Hi, I looked at the KB document but the email link on it no longer works.
I have two end-users using Jabber 4.4 on identical machines, same specs, same driver build and OS image. One gets the "Graphics card or driver not supported" error, the other does not.
We have two DellOptiPlex 7010's,
Both had 2 instances of AMD Radeon HD 7470 - they are dual monitor machines.
In both cases the driver version 8.922.0.0, Driver Date 12/6/2011. This is the latest Dell has on their website.
On one machine when I run a fresh install for Jabber for TelePresence 4.4 it works fine. But on another the user first gets
"supportabilitytest.exe has stopped working
A oriblem cause the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."
Then when that's closed out we get:
"Graphics card or driver not supported!
New features in this version of Jabber Video are not supported by your computer's graphics driver.
Update to the newest graphics driver available and run Jabber Video again."
I can't believe it's just a matter of upgrading the drivers because in this case one machine with identical drivers works.
I appreciate any insights, thanks !

Hi ksouthall,
It sounds like the openGL supported version did not install on the one that is failing. There isn't much we can do regarding that error. Best practice is to always upgrade to the latest manufacturer's available driver. Client requirements are below.
Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), Vista, or XP (SP 2 or newer), with OpenGL 1.2 or newer.
For 720p HD video calls, Intel Core2Duo @ 1.2GHz or better.
For VGA video calls, Intel Atom @ 1.6GHz or better.
Webcam, built-in or external. You need an HD webcam if you want other callers to see you in HD.
Broadband Internet connection with a recommended bandwidth of 768kbps upstream and downstream. You need about 1.2Mbps upstream and downstream for 720p HD video calls.
Regards,
Jason

OpenSQLException: JDBC driver not supported?

Hi @ all,
I need to connect to a DataSource with the WebAS 7 via SQLJ. As I try to connect to it with the SQL Engine set to "Vendor SQL" I get:
"The given connection "com.sap.engine.services.dbpool.cci.ConnectionHandle" is not an Open SQL connection"
As I try to get a connection to the dataSource via SQLJ with SQL Engine set to "Open SQL" or "Native SQL", I get the following Exception:
ResourceException in method ConnectionFactoryImpl.getConnection(): com.sap.engine.services.dbpool.exceptions.BaseResourceException: SQLException thrown by the physical connection: com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: JDBC driver not supported for MS_SQL_SERVER database.
How can I get the SQLJ- Support?
Kind regards,
Uwe

Hi Uwe, all,
for using Native SQL/JDBC or Open SQL/JDBC, the database itself and the JDBC driver must be recognized as being in the supported set. The answer to that depends on what you mean in detail by "Web AS 7". Roughly speaking, it should be the JDBC driver released by Microsoft.
Open SQL/SQLJ is only available with a Open SQL/JDBC data source. Hence, there is no way around using Open SQL/JDBC.
Now, Open SQL/JDBC and Open SQL/SQLJ both requires tables (and other database objects) to be deployed via the Open SQL for Java Dictionary. Up to and including WebAS Java 7.1, the Open SQL/Dictionary supports deployment to the system database, i.e. the database (and schema) used by the installed server itself.
Given the above, the JDBC driver for a Open SQL/JDBC data source must already be present, because it must be the driver used by the server itself. When defining data sources, it is referred to as "system driver".
This leaves us with a Open SQL/JDBC data source to the system schema. You can then also consider to establish a data source alias to the server's system datasource.
Hope this helps. Best Regards, Dietamr

I have my Time Machine on an external drive (not connected to Airport Extreme) and I have an external HD attached to airport extreme. Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme. How?

Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
Sorry, but no.
Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire.

I need to setup 7800 Series IP Phones in the CUCM 8.6.2 which by default are not support but will work after install the software. Anyone have document from Cisco as I remember I seen once before.

I need to setup 7800 Series IP Phones in the CUCM 8.6.2 which by default are not support but will work after install the software. Anyone have document from Cisco as I remember I seen once before.

Hi Ali,
I'll just add this reference to the good tips from my friend Manish (+5)
Support for the 7800 series in CUCM 8.6.2 was first added with this
Device Pack;
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Device Package 8.6(2)(24104-1)Release Notes
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package Release 8.6(2)
adds support for the Cisco IP Phones
7821, 7841, and 7861 running SIP firmware release 10.1(1).
The steps are in this doc
http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074299/107528/cmterm-devicepack-8.6.2.24104-1_Readme.pdf
You might as well install the latest 8.6.2 Device pack
cmterm-devicepack8.6.2.24112-1.cop.sgn
Cheers!

USB External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop

I have two USB external drives from the same manufacturer. One is for regular storage, the second is for Time Machine and movies.
The first one shows everywhere, on the desktop, in finder and in Disk Utility.
The second drive shows in Disk Utility only. However, it is functioning fine with Time Machine. So it is mounted. I have tried several repairs, and it reports no fault found. So it is certainly functioning correctly, but a setting or error in the operating system is not allowing it to be viewed in finder, or on the desktop.
Any suggestions.

Correction: Title should be Firewire External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop.

Is their another way like to use my time capsule as an external drive not using time machine?thanks

is their another way like to use my time capsule as an external drive not using time machine?thanks

You do not have to use Time Machine.. but the TC is hardly suitable for a NAS.. it has no means to back itself up and is relatively slow. Still that is up to you..
CCC or Superduper are good backup softwares .. and there are a number of others.

TS1436 I cant burn CDS using itunes but burns using windows media. itunes up to date what now?

I cant burn cds using itunes but burns in window media.itunes up to date what now?

Join the crowd. I was thinking of going back to a previous version, but had heard that could be a problem. Fortunately, I have more than one computer and things work fine there. I'm thinking it could be the burner in the problem computer, but it was working just fine before the upgrade...

Systems preferences do not respond....after most recent Security Update...

HELP.........systems preferences do not respond....after most recent Security Update...During the most recent Security update download, near the end of the process,clean turned all graining and seemed to freeze. I waited awhile and then turned the computer.
ever since then I can not open up any of my systems preferences, battery level,date and time do not show up on the top of the screen as before.....
I had since gone and successfully downloaded the most recent security update for the Apple site and after a restart still no battery level, systems preferences or date and time....

Hi, I think I need to update my profile because my computer definitely says it has 10.4.11
I managed to solve the stickies and TextEdit issues by removing Butler in the end.

External drive not mounting after crash

I had the finder lock up on me and I had to force a restart.
At the time an external USB2 drive was plugged in. Since the forced restart the external drive is not mounting. It won't mount via USB2 or Firewire. It is formatted as Mac OS Extended.
Upon booting the computer notifies that it can't be read and asks to initialize, ignore or eject.
The system profiler sees it. Disk Utility sees it but it won't allow the options to verify or repair to be used.
Disk warrior, Drive 10, and Disk Rescue won't allow the drive to be fixed unless its mounted. In fact the drive won't even appear as an option in those programs without mounting.
So what do I have left to try?

After trial and error and moving the drive around to various enclosures I had Disk Utility open up the options to verify and repair.
It wouldn't actually fix it or go through the whole process of fixing it but that was enough to let a boot from the Disk Warrior CD see the drive as an option.
I only recovered about 60% of what was originally on it after DW redid the directory but it was at least something.
One question though what sort of issues could my boot drive's directory have that would effect the external ones? Is the corruption the fault of the internal drive?
I ask because although I've been assured that it will work fine I am running a 160G drive in a machine that only sees the first 128GB as the boot drive. I am not 100% positive that won't have some side effects but everyone around here seems to tell me its all good and that I shouldn't worry about that. Its this belief that makes me use the external drive as my torrent media drive since there is so much more reading and writing being done to it.
