External DVD doesn't work via USB on macbook pro

My old internal DVD drive in macbook pro doesn't work. I want to use my old DVD burner from my old PC. I connect it to enclosure for disk.
This stuff i plug in to USB in my macbook. It can read CD/DVD but not burn CD and DVD. What can I do? Is there any drivers for USB to make it work?

  • I have a Seagate Slim Portable 500 GB USB 3.0 external hard drive that worked great with my Macbook Pro 13" Retina but gets ejected and won't show files on any iMac.

    I have a Seagate Slim Portable 500 GB USB 3.0 external hard drive that worked great with my Macbook Pro 13" Retina but gets ejected and won't show files on any iMac. My Macbook Pro and the two different iMacs I tried it on were all using Mountain Lion, so the only difference was the iMac versus Macbook Pro.

    I just tried this, no luck...
    I connected a different USB cable, still the same problem. Tried both cables with the problematic hard drive on two different computers, still the same problem.
    At this point I assume I'll probably need professional help in saving the files, thanks for the assistance.

    You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk.  There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free.  I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac.  You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

  • HP 1200 Laserjet is no longer working via Airport express &MacBook pro

    Connection has been working just fine for 2 years and suddenly It gives me just one line of little symbols when trying to print. If I connect printer directly via USB works fine. I have made no changes that can explain what happened.What I have done already: restart everything, computer, the printer and also the Airport express connection. I downloaded the latest driver version as well.
    When checking via printer utilities the connection it says there are problems connecting the printer and the server.
    Any lights on this?
    Thanks!

    I just got my airport express tonight and had the same problem with my HP 1200 all in one deskjet. After a couple hours of searching and installing the gimpdrivers that did not work I ran across another post that linked me to: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
    It worked!
    Install all 3 dmg files
    gplgs-8.64so-ub.dmg
    Foomatic-RIP 4.0.1
    hpijs-3.9.2-ub.dmg
    Install in that order. They won't install unless you do. One of them does say it is for 10.3 or newer but that did not effect me on 10.4.
    Once installed, Add a new printer (delete old ones) then select HP from drop down and scroll and select : HP PSC foomatic/hpijs.
    After that you should be go to go.

  • Using C6 as a modem via USB in MacBook Pro

    I'm having trouble connecting my MacBook Pro to Internet via C6.
    I would like to use it via USB. My system in Mac is 10.5.8
    Can someone tell me what to do?

    Do you have an IBM / Lenovo Laptop?
    I do and I checked the event logs and noticed failure 680 which indicated that no dial tone could be obtained (cable not plugged it) or similar symptom.
    I used to receive the error "one touch access failed to establish a network connection" using the Nokia PC Suite. I checked under start | settings | network connections and selected properties on the valid dial-up device. Then I noticed that the device was using the Internal Thinkpad modem instead of the Nokia. This explained the error 680 as the Thinkpad modem was not cabled to the phone line. After changing the connect using device from thinkpad to Nokia all worked well.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • CS4 doesn't work after re-install MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    today i re-installed my MacBook Pro, after making a backup of all my programs via TimeMachine. After the re-installation i put all my programs back, but CS4 won't work anymore… I get the error code 150:30.
    I tried to find and throw away the netflex-folder in the Library, but it's not in the library at all. I tried other steps on the Adobe-site as well, but nothng works.
    I have a icensed product, but the install-disc are at my house in Holland and i am living in Rabat at the moment.
    What to do?

    ohhhhhhhh i thought u meant when you stand by your laptop it disconnects like your body was interfering with the signal lol.
hmmmm. thats an odd one. sometimes computers of any kind have what i call "idiot moments" where they forget how to do something simple (like reconnect to the internet)
    maybe try reconnecting your macbook pro to your internet starting from scratch that  may solve it

  • Boot MacBook hard drive(Snow Leopard) via USB on MacBook Pro(Leopard)

    Recently my old MacBook's (2.0 Core Duo) logic board failed. It was running Snow Leopard and is either on 10.6.3 or 10.6.4 (not sure when I last updated). I would like to remove the 500GB hard drive and use a SATA to USB connector to connect the hard drive to my work MacBook Pro (2.2 Core 2 Duo) running 10.5.8 and use the work laptop to boot the failed MacBook's drive. Before I try this setup, I was hoping to find out if this will work at all or if it could potentially mess up my work computer.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    You want to boot your MBP with the MB's HD? Won't hurt to try, but it might not work. Trying won't muck up the MBP. Alternatively, if you're trying to recover stuff from it, you don't have to boot with it, just mount it and transfer stuff, assuming the username & password combo matches. Otherwise, use the Migration Assistant to do the transfer.

  • Mac mail doesn't work anymore on my macbook pro bu...

    I use the Mail program on my devices for email and it works fine for my btinternet mail and mac mail on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac.  However, on my macbook pro only the btinternet mail connects.  My mac mail account comes up with the following error message: "The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user..."  It works fine on all my other devices.
    What's going on? How do I fix it?  It used to work fine too - this problem has only strarted relatively recently.
    thank you in advance.

    I'm having similar fun lately too - Using MBP and OSX Lion has been fine up until last week when I treated myself to BT Infinity and a better online connection.
    Now I have found that BT Yahoo sends a lot of my personal emails to 'Bulk' on Mac Mail whereas they used to appear in my Mail Inbox...and I thought friends were just wern't sending me emails!
    Prior to Infinty the majority of my 'Bulk' was credit check/viagra/gambling junk and spam but now I have to check the Bulk Folder and/or go online to BT Yahoo WebMail just to make sure I haven't missed important emails!
    Whats happening BT?

  • IPhone 5S 8.0.2 doesn't connect via BT with MacBook Pro Retina

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect my iPhone with my MBP Retina because I want to try Hand-off and Continuity. I connect them via BT, they exchange the code but after 2-3 sec both the devices lose the connection. It seems like they are unable to recognize each other.
    Moreover, on my iPhone there is a list with old devices they I had connected. I want to delete one of them because I'm not using it anymore, but when I tap on the , the option "disconnect this device" is grey and not blue as usual.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks

    I solved both problems.
    1) in order to use Handoff, you don't need to connect directly the devices. Just open the BT and connect them on the same Wifi
    2) after the update to iOS 8.1 every useless things are gone.

  • Wifi doesn't work anymore on my macbook pro

    I got on my laptop and on the interent then i closed the laptop adn put it away for, lets say, 15 min and opened it back up again and the airport was turned off.  I tried turning the wifi on again and it wouldn't even make the selection. I tried restarting the laptop and going in through the preferences but it never works. It just says there it no wifi hardware installed... I have noidea what to do anymore. Hopefully it is an easy fix.
    Any help is appreciated!

  • How come Power Nap doesn't work on late 2011 MacBook Pros?

    I have a late MacBook Pro, recently bought Mountian Lion hoping I would get Power Nap, but unfortunatly not, could someone be able to explain why Power Nap is only for MacBook Pro Retina and MacBook Air please?
    Much appreciated.

    Because they have the 'official' Apple flash storage. Other flash storage devices on stock 2011 MBPs - such as SSDs - don't have the necessary firmware that Apple-sanctioned flash storage devices have.
    It was a bummer for me, too. I've a SSD and was hoping to use Power Nap on my late 2011. But I have a Crucial m4, not an Apple device.
