Help.. Superdrives open and will shut then reopen

I have a Mac Pro 2.8 8-Core, and I just added a second drive to the machine. It boots fine and the trays are shut. When I push the eject button on the keyboard both trays open, then I push the eject button again and they both go in, hang for a second then both come out again. I cannot get them to stay shut in the machine. I got the second drive from the apple store, so it's an apple product... What do I need to do?
Thanks !

Hi Scubaking,
the'jumpers' are located on the back of the SuperDrive right alongside the other connectors (power and data).
The jumper itself is a little piece of plastic with a wire inside of it, which connects two of the avaiable pins.
A diagram which pins to connect or to leave open in order to get 'Cable select' is printed on the case of the SuperDrive itself.

    Strangely I did manage to successfully transfer two tracks to iTunes, but all further attempts have failed.

  • My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100% and will shut down itself.

    My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100 % and will shut down itself. Then I need to off the power and let it cool down first before I can on the phone back. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

    Hi Limfromsi,
    It is normal to an extent for the iPhone to get warm during charging. If your iPhone is currently in a case, you may want to try charging it without one and see if the issue occurs, as the design of the iPhone uses the exterior of the device as a cooling surface. For more information about iPhones and temperature, you may find the following article helpful:
    iOS devices: Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2101
    If you continue to have issues with your iPhone in the default config (no case, using the included original cable and power adapter), you may want to have your phone evaluated for service. The following page may be of use:

  • Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

    Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

    Hello ducky,
    as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • If I switch my installed PS6, Illustrator and InDesign over to the Cloud, will I have to pay monthly even though I already purchased the programs? And will I then be able to use the program on another computer when I sign into my adobe account?

    If I switch my installed PS6, Illustrator and InDesign over to the Cloud (from an installed program with the code, like Adobe used to do it), will I have to pay monthly even though I already purchased the programs? And will I then be able to use the program on another computer when I sign into my adobe account? I know how to switch it over, I just want to make sure I won't also have to pay monthly even though it's already been purchased.

    Your purchase of licensed version of Adobe applications does apply to CC subscriptions.  If you subscribe you will pay for the subscription on whatever periodic basis you choose (monthly versus annually).

  • Firefox is frozen, will not open, and will not let me shut down iMac.

    A couple of days ago, I installed Evernote. That made it so that my iMac would never shut down or go to sleep or restart because Evernote wanted to remain running all the time. Now Firefox has stopped responding. I cannot open Firefox, nor can I close it, nor can I shut down, restart, or log off of my iMac. I guess this might be related to Evernote, but I cannot find a way to uninstall Evernote. I do not know how to go into Safe Mode on the iMac. Two months ago, I upgraded the software to Mavericks and have had problems ever since. The only browser now working is Safari. I read that I should uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but do not see how, because I cannot open Firefox to get to Help on the Firefox toolbar. I see only the Safari toolbar. I cannot open Help and see Troubleshooting Information because I am not in Firefox, I am in Safari.

    Hi,<br>
    It sounds like you have several programs that are stuck (not responding). Here are Apple's instructions for "force quitting" applications that are not responding - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411
    If you still can't shutdown your computer after trying that, you can press and hold the power button for several seconds and the computer will shut off.
    It's likely that once you can shut the computer down and then restart it, that Evernote and Firefox and other programs will behave normally.

  • ITunes and Toast are slow to open and will not quit

    The other day I noticed that when I start iTunes it takes forever to start, no window no nothing, then a few minutes later its up and running. Then when I quit the window goes away but the dock icon still has its arrow and it shows up in the "Force Quit Application" window as "Not Responding" and no matter how many times I force it to quit it is still there. No window just the dock icon still has its arrow and it shows up in the "Force Quit Application" window.
    I have to restart the Mac to get rid of iTunes. I tried downloading iTunes 6.5 but it will not install.
    Now I find that Toast 5.2.1 also does this, when opened it shows no window and can not be forced to quit.

    As this is a user-to-user forum, it's highly unlikely someone from Apple jumps in (they can be recognized by their white (Apple employees) or purple (moderators/hosts) avatars).
    The long delays can be caused by a very huge library. iTunes needs some time to open the library and after quitting, iTunes will write the updated 'iTunes Library' file to disk. In contrary to pre-iTunes 7 versions, this can take some time.
    If you don't have a huge (larger than a few hundreds of GBs?) library, the above does not apply.
    Concerning your Toast application. I'm running Toast 8 at the moment, but still have Toast 5.2.3 on an external drive. Running and quitting that application gives no trouble whatsoever on my system (OS X 10.4.8).
    Did you recently install a new app.? The first thing to try is to Repair Permissions with Disk Utility. If this doesn't fix it, you might have to perform an Archive and Install.
    You also might post a question in the Mac OS X forum. Maybe someone there has a hint that does not need a tedious Archive and Install.

  • IChat opens and immediately shuts down

    In the past two weeks my iChat has stopped working. I will try to open it and I will sign on for a second or two and the program will shut down immediately afterwards. I recently purchased an iSight, but that worked for 2-3 weeks before iChat stopped working. I have not downloaded anything or changed anything to affect this problem. I have also tried reading previous posts to see if anything can help. I tried restarting my computer on safe mode and restarting it back up but iChat still does not work. If someone could please help me that would be very helpful. I am using Tiger and I have the newest version of iChat and I have run all the software updates that my computer can find on the Internet. Someone please help me!

    Thank again. This is what it says. Even though it says broken pipe, I wasn't sure if you wanted to see this information.

  • Help file open and disapper with flash

    Hi,
    I am facing a very strange problem.In the application help open and disappear,but CHM files are available in the program files.
    Where can be the problem?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rahul

    1. It WON'T show up in your Start menu because it's a "plugin" for another program and not  a program itself. You can find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash
    2. In your Control Panel under System and Security, you'll find the Global Settings Manager - Flash Player (32bit). THAT won;t be there if it isn't installed.
    IE 11 has had numerous problems with numerous sites, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. There's something not right in the code. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
