Good experience with pioneer 111-d dvd burner

Just receieved and installed a pioneer 111-d dvd burner. I got this from
newegg for about $37 shipped. It was fairly easy to install and was plug and play(recognized by my computer) with no need to install drivers or patches.
Just burned a dvd under 5 minutes. My older pioneer 604 burner burned at 1 speed and it took about an hour to burn a dvd.

Finally discovered the cause of my problem. I sent the DVD burner back to Mac Sales and when they tested it they found it failed to pass. They sent me a replacement unit and now everything works fine.

How can I write dual DVDs with my UJ 820S DVD burner?

hello i own a satellite notebook, and my problem is that it cannot write at dual dvds, i believe that i have to upgrade the firmware but i cant find anything, recently i had the same problem with my desktop pc and solve it when i upgrade the firmware from its own nec dvd burner, anybody knows where i can find a firmware update, or something else to solve my problem?

Hi Chris
The CD and DVD burning and reading with different drives is a never ending story.
I use an external burner and believe me; I have tested more than 10 different medias from different manufactures.
I could burn some medias but not read and read but not burn :(
I think you should also test different DVDs.
In my user manual I have found a list with compatible CD and DVD. Possibly you will also find the same supported media list in you preinstalled user manual.

P43-Neo Strange behaviour with LG IDE/PATA DVD Burner attached

Hello, I have spent several hours installing an OS on my new MSI P43 Neo-F v1.0 Bios v1.9:
- 1x 1000 GB SATA HDD Seagate
- 1x DVD Burner LG IDE/PATA HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-H42N Firmware RL01
- 4GB OCZ Gold
- MSI RX2600 Graphic Card
- Bequit! Power Supply 350 Watt
Trying to boot from the DVD Drive works, but either XP not Vista could make it to the setup screen.
- Vista stops after some seconds with an unexpected I/O error.
- XP Setup just crashes and dumps register values.
Boot from USB memory stick (DVD still attached but no DVD in) lets you enter the setup and select the HDD as intall target. But, if you click "next" it gives you a message that Vista could not verify if a suitable system disk is installed.
I could only solve the problem by completely disconnecting the GSA-H42N DVD Burner from the IDE/PATA connector.
I could install Vista now from USB.
After Vista was installed I reconnected the GSA-H42N DVD Burner to the IDE/PATA connector and could install software etc.
Anyone being able to comment on this very strange behaviour ?
In conjunction with other boards I did not encounter issues like this with that LG DVD Burner.
It has shown that with the MSI P43 Neo F the LG GSA-H42N is unable to boot any CD/DVD. Linux for example stops booting with image crc check error.
I have now swapped the LG GSA-H42N with an GSA-H10N from my other machine and it can boot any CD/DVD from it - everything runs fine.
The LG GSA-H42N now runs with my other machine (with an Asrock P43 DE motherboard) also without any problems it can boot any CD/DVD from it
Thank you,
CPU

Any experience with the NEC 3550A DVD drive?

I have a question for you - NEC's website and all the literature I can find shows Windows xp/2000 as a system req. but there is no indication that it is supported or will work in a Mac. I have seen literally hundreds of posts here highly touting this drive, but just wanted to pick your brains on this.. anything additional I will need to get it to work in a power mac dual G5, running tiger 10.4.4?
reason i am wanting to replace mine, is i get the 0x80020022 error when trying to burn DVDs.
I have tried deleting ~/library/caches as well as creating a new administrative user, and no luck.
thanks,
adam ([email protected])

No, I purchased the Pioneer DVR-110D drive thinking that since Apple uses them more often than not, that this would be a good choice. Updates are more frequent for the Pioneer drives though. It appears that advancements in DVD writing obsoletes this type of drive (or requires a firmware update) that was not seen with CD writing technology.

Is there anyone who has good experience with the E...

I'm a current owner of E72 with a multitude of problems which i'm tired out talking about. Anyway, I'm thinking of upgrading to the E6, because of it's price in my country and also because i'm familiar with nokia phones' symbian platforms. Initially i did not want to buy any nokia products anymore, but I want to give it another go because of the mentioned reasons and also due to my E72 frustrating me every other day. In addition, my few other options are android touchphones and i really dislike full fleged touchphones, not to mention their battery life. My other option is the Blackberry which has no front facing camera which i need making video calls, so I'm really looking at the E6. I've read so many horror stories in this thread that i'm really worried that i'll get a lemon, so I want to read some positive stories or some judicious pros and cons, before taking the plunge! Please help thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have owned my E6 for over 3 months and after the weekends new firmware (025) the phone now is almost perfect.
The audio quality for music is good and voice calls is the best that you can find, even in noizy environments.
Battery endurance is very good now, perhaps 80-100 hours in moderate use.
Also the former problem with backlight is now corrected by Nokia.
After the firmware the phone is very fast, I mean this cincerely. Also it seems that connectivity over 3G or WLAN is 100% perfect now.
The vibration is perhaps a little weak for men, but woman can feel it...I tested it various ways.... Nokia will solve this matter also.
Forgotten things, that is really good is removable battery, hot-swoppable memory card and the the feeling of handling the phone.
Not a single scratch or dust problem after 3 months...
The RAM-memory seems to be enough for everything I am doing.
The graphic and the 1GB ROM-memory certainly makes the Nokia E6 competent.
The qwerty is really amazing and the screen also, after experimenting with font magnifier (using 119%) and the size in the web browsers and of course the phone settings for font size have actually made this E6 excellent. It took me some time to be satisfied with the settings, but I am now more than happy with mine.
As said, the program RemindMe is useful for light indicators for sms/mms, emails and calls. That solve that issue to me and even if Nokia built-in will be better in the next firmware I stil wouldn´t quit the remindMe.
Finally, the camera is also more than good, the lack of autofocus doesn´t disturb me at all. I never take photos of small documents with the camera.
I have to say, just buy it after this latest firmware, and then add those applications that you need for productivity. The applications I use you can see here below.
I uninstalled the F-secure firewall/antivirus that caused some strange behaviors in early august, especially when I connected to a server with the built-in filebrowser (webdav).
PS Mine have never restarted and I can´t remember a hang. DS

Anyone here have good experience with iPhone compatible Ip Cameras?

Hi
i wanted to know if anyone here actually owns a decent camera they can recommend with a iPhone that records to SD remotely or when motion detection is activated (remotely), has night vision, an zoom tilt or simply works so good and you can use a few at the same time.
i tried a few lower end linkseys and d-links models as well as rimax fixed and wireless models, all which where a mess to set up since the software was written for PCs and some only ran on internet Explorer which does not exist on mac osx any more.
So please let me know
Cheers

How does working in wide screen seem when you want full pages?
I have a Dell 20+ (24", I think) at the office. It is 9:16 ratio and a delight to use with InDesign. I regularly compose with binding in mind, so this allows me to have pallets open and view the full spread at the same time. However, if you are needing large type on your icons and menu bars, then you will lose a lot of real estate. I'm not sure you will be able to get the full benefit I receive. I have the resolution set to the monitor's native resolution.
At home, I work with a 15" laptop (9:16) and a second monitor (4:3) that is the same width as the laptop. The second monitor is an LCD and very old (hardware age), so it doesn't do well at the same resolution the laptop does. But the laptop is shorter than the old monitor. Anyway, I do my page view on the laptop because of the better resolution. I put all my menus and pallets on the other monitor. This works well.

Has anyone had a good experience with iPhoto 6?

After reading all these posts, I'm afraid to install iPhoto 6. Are these problems an aberration, or are most mac users experience these problems?

iPhoto 6 has installed and run well for me,, EXCEPT,, the only new feature that I've tried is Photocasting. I made a Photocast, and then subscribed to it myself to test how it would work. I was able to do it although I was surprised how long it took,, about 45 minutes to upload (36 images.. and I have cable/broadband). It downloaded much quicker of course, about 15 minutes. Then,, I "announced the address to 120 friends and acquaintances. Out of all of them (these are people who ALL respond back to my communications right away) so far I have heard from about 5 - 10, only ONE of them could figure out how to view it. So essentially, I annoyed everyone with the product. Sounds cool in the Apple demonstration,, but as a practical matter,, probably best to skip using it. I certainly hope that the other iWeb applications work better but I haven't tried them yet.

Good experience with 10.7.3

I waited to upgrade from 10.6.8 which was very solid till 10.7.3 was out and my tax returns were submitted.
I downloaded Lion 10.7.3 from the Mac App store, made a copy on a DVD to use on my wife's iMac later, and did the install. All went smoothly. When it booted back up, Crashplan triggered a download for Java so the Crashplan software could run. That went smoothly.
All in all, upgrading to 10.7 from 10.6 has been the easiest OS X upgrade I've done yet. I like how Lion works with my Apple touchpad and got used to the like-iOS scrolling after a few days. 10.7 seems faster on my early 2011 iMac also. The only problem I have currently is that the last Java update has caused a problem with Webex desktop sharing but I'm using that less now since I've started using LogMeIn to do remote support of Windows systems. I find full screen display in Safari quite nice for some sites, and think file Autosave in Numbers is great idea too.
I'm looking forward to 10.8 to have Airplay available to send from my iMac to the Apple TV device so we can watch Daily Show on the bigger screen.

Both happily coexist under Windows. I assume it'd be the same for Macs.

Good Experience with Install

I ordered a Triple Play Bundle in August and just got the install yesterday. It was a long wait due to the strike but I had a Cox cable bundle already which the contract was up on so I rode that out for 2 months without bundle pricing. The install time was between 8-12 am and the tech arrived at 0930. He removed older wiring and junction box from the home that must have been the previous copper line. New line was run and all the installation was inside. The install took about 3 hours and the tech was polite and kept me informed most of the way. The install was neat and everything worked fine. He took the time to explain things and asked if I had any questions. If I was to pick on one thing, he didn't vacuum the sheetrock dust from installing the ONT in my finished basement.
I received a new QIP7232 2 for my HD/DVR, a basic STB for the kitchen area and an Actiontec MI424-WR Rev F router. I only signed up for Prime, 15/5 and Digital unlimited phone for now to see how this goes. It is substantially cheaper than my bundled Cox was and my internet speeds have been consistently above (upload) the 15/5, where Cox would drop pretty low at busy times of the day/night. The picture seems much better, unsure if it is due to Fios itself or the Cox DVR not having an HDMI port and having to use Composite AV cables. The remote has no Aux buttons for my Blue Ray player so I had to dig out the original controller. The basic STB in the kitchen's picture was leaps and bounds better than the direct Cox coax to that TV. I had several episodes of Cox Digital phone dying over the last 6 months with Cox having to come about 5 times to try and fix it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out with Fios and there are no billing issues.
This install was in Rhode Island. Canceling Cox was an experience as well as dropping their equipment off.

Has anyone had a good experience with the 4.2 install?

I only see negative reports posted. Is anyone's upgraded iPad working correctly?

Based on the lack of negative reports in the broader media, I'd say 99% of upgrades are probably working flawlessly. Remember, the media love to jump down Apple's throat for any perceived flaw, as they did for the iPhone antenna issue. No, I'd say so far this is among Apple's more problem-free launches.
As others have noted, this is a tech support forum. Gauging the overall experience of those installing 4.2 by reading the messages here is akin to taking a poll at your local emergency room and concluding that the entire population is sick.

Good experience with Genieo ?

i recently downloaded the genieo software and i must say it works fine for me, but when i looked for reviews about the product i came a cross some results of malware , am i missing something ? is it a malware ?
thanks

It's not actually malware, but it is something that changes browser behavior and is often installed without the user's explicit consent by being bundled with other software. It is in a class of software that is generally questionable, and collects data on the user's browsing habits. This is done not just for the user's benefit, but also for marketing purposes.
If what Genieo does is useful to you, does not cause any problems with your system and you are willing to trust that company with personal information, then there's no major reason to remove it.

Have any of you had a good experience with Straight Talk unlimited data

I am so sick of feeling like I am getting the shaft from Verizon. Is it worth moving to Straight Talk or even Sprint? I use 2 to 6gb per month.
Thanks,

Did you get this resolved? I am having the same problem.

HT1645 Hello, does anyone know of good DVD burning software for Mac? I've got two 8 min 25 sec mov files to put on a DVD with title and a menu for the two. I've tried it with iDVD five times, each time waiting over an hour and then getting an error mess

I have a short film I produced and I need to burn off copies however I am having no end of trouble with finding a simple DVD burning programme.
I tried a few but no luck. I am trying with mov files and I can't see where the cog is happening. If anyone has any good and relatively inexpensive solutions, please let me know!
Thanks so much!
Cheers

Welcome to the forums.
If you'd like to continue trying with iDVD, one of Apple's resources shows HT 1645 to be an encoding error (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645), so I would suggest starting a new iDVD project and set the iDVD Preferences to make sure they match to your project. In particular, you should be using the Pro encoding setting or Best Performance for projects with a total length under an hour (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5417).
Roxio Toast is an excellent burning tool and part of my work flow after I've used iDVD to create a disk image. Toast will not have the nice iDVD menus, but can do many other tasks besides DVD creation. (Disk images can help in the DVD creation process -- here's one of many discussions: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15469221#15469221)

Optiarc DVD Burner Drivers

Hey,
I'm having some trouble with my OptiarcAD-7910A DVD Burner in my 15.4" T61. Today was the first I have noticed of it. My problem is that Windows will say the driver could not be loaded for the drive because it is corrupted or missing. Windows (Vista Ultimate 32) tries to reinstall the driver, but fails almost right off the bat. I just got off the phone with a Lenovo tech that honestly didn't know what he is talking about, and I'm a teenager. The tech recommended a full factory restore of Vista, which is not a very logical solution in my mind, and blamed my problems on my laptop being dual-boot between Vista and Ubuntu 8.10. The tech also said that Ubuntu was moving or corrupting my drive's drivers! I'd like to note that the Ubuntu installation has not been used in over 3 weeks, and this problem arose today. I have had a dual boot with no problems since I bought this laptop (since June) and the tech said that "these machines are not designed for dual-booting and problems arise when you have Vista installed". I'm kind of mad because instead of pointing me to a download URL, this guy made up half the stuff he said. If anyone knows where a driver is located, then that would be great.
Thanks

This seems a bit odd - so an Optiarc drive with maxell stock will not allow burning at 1 x speed. I could understand at high speeds but at the slowest setting?? I'm also running a G5 PowerMac with same OS and Toast (Pioneer drive) with no problems.
Could you recommend a good replacement drive that supports 1 x speed?
