Finally MS-8348A's new firmare is here, but what does it do?

The 150D MS-8348A's new firmare is online, but what does it do? Are we suppose to try it and see by ourselves? Does it allows new cd's capacity, better compatibility?
Snoopo

I just installed an MS-8345A (took a while to figure out whether I had an A or a B model -- this should be easier to tell).
It won't read a CD-R made on another computer running NERO 5.  All other CDROMs can read this CD.
I saw a very new firmware update (1.50) and downloaded it.  Absolutely bad install instructions.  It says to copy the files into the C:\ drive and then run the install program in "real dos" what ever that is.  I move the files to the C:\ drive, booted to a DOS 6.22 system. and WOW DOS can't read an NTFS file on the C:\ drive.  So, I copied files to the diskette, booted to DOS 6.22 and the install went OK, as near as I could tell.  The last message said that my firmware version 140D was updated to version 150D.
Didn't fix a thing.  Still can't read the CD-R.  The note on the Support Driver Download page said that it was to "improve medium compatibility".  Didn't
I also had a real hard time getting this CD/RW drive to boot from the Windows XP Home setup CDROM.  Took many tires before it would boot.
So far I'm not impressed.
Anyone else tried this?  Anyone else having trouble reading CF-Rs?

  • HT204053 My wife and I shared the same AppleID but want to break these apart. We set up a new AppleID for her but can't get this changed on the phone. How do we switch her AppleID default on her iphone 4?

    My wife and I shared the same AppleID but now want to break these apart into separate accounts. I have set up a new appleid for her and also set up on line. However, I can't figure out how to change this on her iphone4. I have looked at all of the General settings but need guidance. When I use the phone to try to purchase songs from itunes, it reverts to the old appleID. 
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • My daughter is listed at "administrator" and I don't want her to be listed as that...I set up a new account for her but don't know how to undo administrator status?

    My daughter is listed as "administrator" on her computer and I don't want her to be...I have created another account for her but how do I remove the "administrator" priviledges?

    There has to be at least one administrator. Change the password of the old account. While logged in as that user, open the Accounts preference pane in System Preferences, authenticate, select the new account, and uncheck the box labeled "Allow user to administer this computer."

  • I use "firefox -new-tab anyPage.html" but it does not open it in new tab. Instead it replaces the last active tab.

    Well I use following command to view offline pages using firefox on my linux box
    $ firefox -new-tab anyPage.html
    But instead of opening it in new tab, it replaces the last active tab.
    I have tired
    $ firefox -new-tab anyPage.html &
    $ firefox -remote "openurl(anyPage.html,NEW_TAB)"
    But none works.
    Sometimes it do open in new tab but mostly it does not. I have been unable to figure out any pattern.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    (''Note: cross posted from [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/801471 here].'')
    I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
    # Open the about:config page.
    # Set the ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' setting to 0 (= zero).
    On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting ''"When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly"''.

  • New Check box in Preferences - what does it do?

    In Preferences, under Advanced, there is a new button under "Look for remote speakers..." This button is "Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers" - what does this do? I can find no documentation. Sounds intriguing.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    I'll test this in just a minute, but it sounds like it means you can use the controls on a speaker being controlled via AirTunes to manipulate iTunes settings (eg. equalizer, volume, or other settings) I'll see what I can figure out for sure.
    EDIT: I just saw the check box above the one you mentioned, that said "Disable iTunes volume control from...", and now I think what the one you are talking about does is allow the speakers to skip songs, fast forward, rewind, or pause. Again, about to test.

  • Digital Rights Management in new Audigy2 driver pack. What does this do or not

    I'm going to admit my lack of legal expertise in these matters, but how does this affect folks? What areas will this limit us when we upgrade our drivers?

    Well, I have a laserdisc project on the back burner, where I was going to capture the AC3 stream through the optical input. I take it, that this will affect me?
    If that's the case then a few questions:
    ) For the new driver pack, is this a compnent that I have an option not to install?
    2) SHould I use the prior driver pack?
    3) In an earlier thread one solution was to install the older driver pack first and the newer driver pack second. Can a modification of this solution work, picking out the components I want?
    4) Which file will prevent me from doing my project? Is it necessary if I were to remove it from the extracted files of the new driver pack

    I use google mail for work and personal mail. When using my Mac, I click on a document (PDF, Excel, etc) in an email message and it opens a preview of that document in a new tab.
    On my Windows PC, I do the same thing and it just sits there. I have checked the pop-up blocker and some of the settings but can't figure out why it works in one and not in another.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • New treemodel is set but view does not update?

    How does one refresh a view? I mean if I set another treeModel using setModel then how do I update this to the view instead of it displaying the original?
    It sets the new model and my debugging statements show it goes all through the setting up of the new information but doesn't move into the next step - display.
    I have tried validate(), setVisible(false) then setVisible(true), and repaint() but to no success. All I really want to do is refresh the view I think.
    I've read a few threads on this but haven't seen a resolution yet and am figuring when people solve it they don't post the solution just move on.
    Any advice would be very welcome at this stage.

    ahh solved, it was resetting back to the original treemodel again so no change. Thanks anyway to all the people I've queried on this one over the last few days. Your help has been appreciated.

  • New announced feature in Java, what does it mean?

  • I received a new iBook G4 display but it does not fit in the board?

    I ordered an iBook G4 display for an iBook G4 and set out to install it but the display has a 6-pin inverter cable while the logic board looks like it only receives a 4-pin cable.
    Is there any way around this? Why do the displays have different pins?

    No, I got the right display, Apple designed it wrong.
    I have all the parts to an iBook G4 and they're all stupidly incompatible. I have a G3 screen with a completely different connector. I ordered a A1055 logic board and got a 14" board (for a 12"). Because Apple gives boards the same part number (whether they are 12" or 14").
    I have two G4 logic boards with 4 pin inverter cable ports and 2 displays with 6 pin inverter cable input.
    You can put a 4 pin inverter cable into a 6-pin inverter port. I'm going to cut 2 pins off of the inverter connector with an exactoknife and see if it works because this is ridiculous. I have all these parts and cannot even make 1 working laptop.

    HI,
    Thanks for the information. I am a bit nervous about the method because I get a "serious" warning when I put the command in the URL. Also, I wonder if you know the answer to this: Someone/Firefox pushed an upload tab to me. That is the best way I can explain what happened. Now, sometimes I get an ! in a triangle, sometimes I get an outdated message with the Firefox logo in place of the ! and sometimes it does not show an icon indicating the program is out of date. When I belly up to the URL and do the commands you mentioned, do you know if all these glitchy things will be taken care of? dmer

  • What does it mean "Do you want to save your current game on a new Game Center account?"

    My daughter and I have been playing Hay Day.  She on the iPad with her own Game Center Account.  I on my iPhone, with my Game Center account.  Tonight I noticed that I can log her out and log in as me, so I can play on the big screen.  As soon as my wife saw this, she wanted to play too.  So... she created a Game Center account, logged me out, and logged into Game Center as her.  When we go the game, this message appears:
    "Do you want to save your current game on a new Game Center account?"
    What does this mean? 
    What should we choose to ensure she starts a new Hay Day game, not start where I was.  We did not get this message when we switched back and forth between my daughter an I.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks Larry.  I ended up at the genius bar at the local Apple store.  My home button had died which is why the phone was constantly going to Voice Control.  The phone was replaced.  Thanks for answering.  I checked out the link and ordinarily that would have done the trick.
