I’m going to get the I Mac and since the new I Mac doesn’t have DVD drive on it I was thinking to get the Samsung SE-506AB Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer in order to burn movies from I movie do I need a special software for that since the SE-506ab comes only with windows software.. but I did check and it is compatible with apple. Can you please advise me and or let me know if I’m buying the right stuff or if there is any other blu ray that will work with the I mac as plug and play.
Thank you

This freezing reminds me of really old Macs, long ago, in the days of the old-school peripherals like SCSI drives, terminators, scanners and the like. If you had a SCSI conflict, like the wrong device ID's or something, you'd freeze up like that. Back in those days you'd call 800-SOS-APPLE (AAPL?) and they'd run you through disconnecting all your extra hardware - Jaz and Zip drives, CD burners, scanners etc and then eliminate them one by one by adding them incrementally and testing for the freeze/bomb dialog.
But, today we have Firewire and none of those ancient issues (no free lifetime tech support either). My iMac's ports are all full, and I only know which devices are connected when I have to remove something for another device. iSight, scanner, card reader, external hard drive, USB soundsticks, etc. You wouldn't happen to have any SCSI devices hooked up, would you?
Out of curiosity, have you tried a different USB/Firewire port for the hard drive? Or run the hardware test DVD that comes with your computer? This weird freezing seems to suggest a problem with the computer, RAM or network more than a device. Bad devices, in my experience, cause kernel panics, not freezing.

How do I get the os on a new hard drive?

optical drive doesn't work, hard drive crashed. how do I get the os on a new hard drive?

You can connect an external optical drive.
You can use another Mac with a good optical drive together with a Firewire cable if both computers have Firewire ports.
You can have someone clone the installer DVD to an 8 GB USB flash drive.
You can take it to an Apple retailer and see if they will install for you.

Steps to Recreate:
UEFI:
Boot PC into UEFI System Diagnositcs (F2 at POST)
Component Checks
Optical Drive
Sequential Check
Error: Not Optical Drive Installed.
Windows 8.1 (x64):
Run Device Manager
Error: No DVD/CD Drives section.
Scanning for new hardware changes nothing.
Relevent System Specifications:
Laptop: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (Vanilla build)
Optical Drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n
Steps Already Taken to Solve:
Replaced DVD drive with one from similar spec HP Pavilion. The gn70n hotswapped perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD Drive is working, and there are no issues with Windows 8.1 (x64).
Removed DVD Drive. Rebooted computer. Log into Windows. Shutdown. Refit DVD Drive. Boot laptop. This attempts to solve hardware glitches with PnP devices; as well as helping to fix any intermittent loose connection problems. Conclusion: No change.
Ran Troubleshooting for Hardware and Devices, via the Control Panel. Issue Found: Hardware changes might not have been detected. Exploring more options just takes you through to http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, this is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Windows Help and Support is severely lacking. They show no more information than just that something has been detected as being wrong.
Ran the Microsoft FixIt Optical Drive Troubleshooter and Automatic Repairer. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The troubleshooter reported that the device could not be found. It recommended removing all power cables, switching the device off and various other things that have no relevence to laptop hardware troubleshooting. It then said if the problem still persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows Troubleshooting cannot fix the problem.
Run Windows Update to ensure all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is fully up to date.
Run a full Rootkit and heuristic Malware scan, using Sbybot S&D 2.3; as well as a signature based scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.
Notes:
The DVD Drive is NOT showing up in the Device Manager, OR in This PC.
The DVD Drive is NOT being detected by the UEFI System Diagnostics.
There is NO reference to the DVD Drive in BIOS, other than as a boot option, which is generic.
The DVD Drive, itself, DOES work, and has been verified on a different machine.

Oh ok, that's fine. I was expecting to go through a first response resolution process. Once the gate keepers realise they're talking to someone who actually knows what they're talking about, it's usually pretty simple to skip through a lot of the script. Once you've got past the gate keepers once, it's usually easy to get a direct number for the actual resolution department.
Will they question why I've opened up the case to exchange a 1TB HDD for an 80GB HDD? (The only physical spare I have, atm). I know they'll understand, I'm only worried about giving them any reason to deny the warranty on such an extensive fix.

HT202796 I can not copy, modify, any file from my Mac to external hard disk, of the seagate brand (fast HDD Portable Drive) I don´t know if I need some software to copy and modify files in my hard disk external ? Could you help me please?

Hello I have a iMac with 3.4 GHZ intel core I7, memory 16 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3, and OS X 10.9.4 Software.
I have problems when I try to copy or modify any file from my MAC to MY PORTABLE DRIVE/DISQUE (external hard disk).
my external hard disk have the next features:
brand: Seagate
4TB
I do not know if I need some software such as: paragon or I need to configure my MAC,
Please help me..
Thanks a lot

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

How do I get the computer to automatically eject a drive before it enters Sleep?"

I have an external eSATA drive connected via PCI Express card to my Mac Pro. When I wake the computer, I get a complaint about not correctly ejecting the disk. How can I get the computer to eject the drive before entering Sleep? There are two partitions on the drive, so the answer will need to include "Eject All." Perhaps an Apple Script could tell the drive to eject, but how to automatically run it? If I could schedule it to run five or ten minutes before the scheduled Sleep, that should work.
The reason for the external drive is to back up my TiVo recordings...WARNING...If you have a DVR Expander connected to your TiVo and EITHER fails, you lose everything! I now transfer all my recordings from my TiVos to this drive so I won't lose recordings in the future. Plus I can take the drive with me and connect it via a Thunderbolt wire and watch them on my laptop.

How do I get the data on my old hard drive onto the newly installed one?

Hi all,
Just got a new 160GB hard drive into my trusty 12" Powerbook G4. Now, what is the simplest and most effective way for me to load all my old data onto my new drive? I've heard of Carbon Copy Cloner and DejaVu, but no experience in these matters I'm afraid. I'm no hardware expert either I admit, and just got the drive swapped. I do have the old one (untouched) in a Firewire enclosure though... any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Peter

Peter:
If you swapped out the HDD yourself, you are doing pretty well. On top of that you have the old HDD in a Firewire enclosure. Great!
Next step is to format and erase the HDD.

I'm having issues syncing my ipod to my external hardrive's library. How do I sync and get the music from my external hard drive?

I recently moved the music from my old computer in itunes to my external hardrive (changed the media file location and consolidated library). I connected my external hardrive to my new computer (windows 7) and changed my itunes media file to my external hardrive and consolidated my new computer's library to my external hardrive. When I connect my iPod, it is only grabbing the music from my new computer and not my external hardrive. How do I get the music from my external hardrive onto my iPod?

Did you move the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder?
File > Add folder to library and select the folder with music on the external.

I cannot get the Firefox setup wizard to run on my laptop, which runs Windows XP.

I have a Compaq Presario which runs Windows XP. I have 1.12 GB of RAM, a 1.59 GHz processor, and more than 30 GB of space on my hard drive. I can download Firefox, but I can't get the setup wizard to run. After I get it downloaded and try to run the wizard, my computer hangs up. I have tried both saving it and running it right off the bat. Neither way works. I need to have Firefox on my machine, so any way I could get help with this problem would be great. Thanks.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with installing Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes installing work.

Where can I find driver files for this dvd rom?

Hello Denise,
Welcome to the Sony Community.
All of the Sony internal optical drives are plug & play with Windows so no drivers are required for detection in your PC. If you are having issues getting your drive detected then please try the following:
• Ensure the Sony drive is set as a secondary master by itself. If you have another disc burner or a zip drive on the same IDE cable, please separate them.
• Ensure you have the latest Service pack for your Windows operating system and any other updates for your system installed.
service, storage support email
• Please remove your secondary IDE channel from the Device Manager.
If the issue is still not resolved, service may be required. You may contact the Sony Storage support team by e-mail at: [email protected] for further information.
Thank you for your post.

I need to get the photo's synced via ITunes from my IPhone to my Windows PC

Due to a hard drive failure I have lost all my data on my Windows Desktop. I have synced most of the photo's on my IPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 via ITunes however it seems I cannot do the reversal to get the photo's from the IPhone to my Windows Laptop. Has anyone got any suggestions to help??

The only photos that you can put onto the drive of the computer from the phone are the ones in the Camera Roll. Those are done via the Import utility in Windows. Photos that have been synced to the iPhone via iTunes would have to be taken from the iPhone via a 3rd party utility. You cannot sync photos that have been synced to the phone back to a computer via iTunes. It does not work that way.
There are a number of 3rd party utilities that you can use, but TouchCopy by Wide Angle Software is a good choice. I have used it before, and there is a free trail or a purchased alternative, depending on how much you need to do. That also will allow you to archive voicemail, SMS, and other data from the phone, if you did not have a backup of your iTunes library on the desktop. Remember the photos that were synced to the iPhone were done so in a reduced resolution, so you would not be getting them back in the same size and resolution as you synced them. Also understand, that if you did not have a backup, you will need to move music as well, or it will delete all of the music on the iPhone.
