How does it work? SuperDrive with double-layer support

Hi,
Can anyone help me? I own a macbook with SuperDrive with double-layer support. I want to try to burn a dvd with the dual layer, how does this work? Which applications do i need? I have been searching for info on this subject but havent succeeded so far..

Any standard burning application such as Toast (or OS Xs built in burning) will burn a dual layer disk. You don't need to do anything special... it will just see the disk with double the capacity. What you do need to do is get dual layer DVDs. They're not all that easy to find at many retail stores, but they're pretty easy to find online.

LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support is no longer able to read all lightscribe discs(Blank or Containing Data)

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
FIRST OF ALL:
My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
My
sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
My HP laptop is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop, which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to the main power supply.
However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is kept from the dust. But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is not properly properly.
I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it after storing,I found
it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
the computer shuts down suddenly.
My problem is follows:::
First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR Data CD/DVD-RLightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive 'double-click' while disc was inserted, then I found that disc opened as this way(NOTE: With a CD/DVD player is grayed out)
I was told 'I suspect the culprit might be hardware and lightscribe dive might be
corrupt. Please sent it to service center to check. In addition, this thread could be as a reference:

Since no one replied to me at HP forums, although my HP laptop is one of their products, I had to post my problem here to know if my driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced or not.
Blank Or Used(containg data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW lightscirbe is unable to be read by optical drive
When clicking on drive 'duble-click', I found it opens like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player, however,

is grayed out)
Not Blank(containing data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON -Lightscirbe disc opens normal:
Blank CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON-lightscirbe opens normal(Opens like

I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk/r /f'
I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
I have recovered my system from the HP Factory Recovery discs.
I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor third party disc recording software.
However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE.
Thus, my questions are:
How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with another one.
I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical drive which is as follows (ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer) ---while
my optical drive of my desktop was connected to the
primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5, something went wrong, and
then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOTrecognised/Installed on
BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it opened empty(no files
at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was still shown as installed on BIOS. However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried clicking on it on BIOS and then
clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be re-recognized. However, that
made no difference. I had to take part my computer ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto thesecondary slave IDE , and let HDD connected to the same
primary master IDE. Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs were read normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS.
What is meant with with double Layer Support.
How much does it cost?

Did you try unsinatalling LightScribe application then checking the status ?
This is probably related to the faulty hardware or the application ( LightScribe

If you had had a look again at my first post, you would have seen that I said that I have done some things, among of which is: I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
Yes, you're right the two threads below are concerned about one issue.

However, this thread contains more precise details and screen shots about the problem. I was not able to understand whether all lightscribs were not unable to be read or not. However, I now recognized that, and I recognized that only all LightScribe(empty
or used) discs are unable to be read. furthermore, that other thread got far too longer to be followed.
Moreover, I would like you to take some time out to answer my problem about Lighstscribe discs since I am going to purchase 'A battery, Cooling Fan' From the HP agent in Yemen, which is far away from me about 1000 Km. Thus, If my optical disc drive was corrupted
as well, then I would be requesting the 'optical disc drive' as well from the HP along with 'Battery, Cooling Fan' .

Multi 8x DVD R/RW double layer support?

I'm a new computer owner with an inherited Presario CQ50-115NR. Please tell me if the Optiarc DVD RW AD-7580 S with FH-02 revision (or, as it was described in the ad, Super Multi 8x DVD R/RW with Double Layer Support) can play and record CDs, too? Thank you.

Your notebook does have a lightscribe supported DVD drive (LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support). You can validate that from specs on the website over here
There is another way to check that. Slimline drives may not have enough space for a LightScribe logo on the drive tray cover, but a LightScribe logo sticker should be affixed to all LightScribe-enabled notebooks. To make sure, the presence of the disc encoder sensor can verify that a drive is LightScribe-enabled. Looking straight down on the spindle after the drive tray is opened, then look for presence of a LightScribe disc encoder sensor as an indicator of LightScribe capability.

How does Remote work with Apple TV?

How does Remote work with Apple TV?
1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
OR
Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
(If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
thank you in advance, Tom

Remote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

you pay for it up front, and they give you a rebate or $99, so if you buy a $99 printer from them (Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One Color Inkjet Printer $99.95) then the printer becomes free. You can not get this deal unless you also buy a mac with it.

How does QoS work with WAAS WCCP? What's the interaction between Router QoS Traffic Classification and WAE Traffic Application Policy?

By default, WAAS preserves the DSCP marking on intercepted packets. There is a configuration option to set/override the DSCP value at the global (device), application, and classifier levels. Currently WAAS provides marking only. There is no action taken by WAAS based on the DSCP value.

I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud.

I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud. Is iCloud pushing my phone's PhotoStream to my computer if it doesn't have the latest OS? Thanks so much for whoever can help!

iCloud will not work with your computer because iCloud requires Lion. Lion requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better. For you to have iCloud and PhotoStream you would need to buy a newer Mac Intel model meeting the requirements for Lion:
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

How does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

how does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

Greetings,
So far, everything seems as stable as before. Which doesn't actually mean its rock solid, but otherwise workable. I'm running a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24DSP with beta audio drivers. So far, everything is running well. I decided to jump into the 64bit work environment with Logic. I have yet to encounter huge problems with the 32bit audio bridge. Just making sure I bounce everything that is 32bit.
As for everything else within Logic, I can't say I hate Lion. Matter of fact, Lion seems buggier than Logic at the moment. Logic handles well in Lion, but Lion on its own overall is a different can of worms. I am mixed about a 10.7.1 update. Usually, it fixes something on the OS, but breaks something else in Logic.
I have faith that Lion will turn out to be as solid as Snow Leopard. SL was my favorite OSX so far. Lion still leaves allot to be desired in terms of stability.
Again, answer to your question: for me, Logic and Lion play nice.............for now.

How does scaling work under Windows 7 with the new MBP with retina display?

After installing Windows in a boot camp partition on the new MacBook Pro, how does scaling work compared to OS X? Does Windows know to have several pixels imitate a single pixel like in OS X when running in 1440 x 900, or is there no scaling effect available?

I suggest reading the following article that was published yesterday...
Windows 7 Tested on Retina Display

How does the MacBook Pro with Retina display scaled resolutions work?

How does it work? I think I have the basics figured out; is this correct (by this, I mean below)?
It is a scaled resolution (1/2 I think of the actual display resolution) therefore, the size of the pixels would be equivalent to 1440 x 900, but each pixel that is represented on screen is actually 4 pixels, therefore making it look sharper, so things are physically the same size if it would be an actual 1440 x 900 screen, but it looks sharper on the Retina display because each pixel is actually 4 pixels?
Thanks

If you read the specs on them you will discover that the MBP is way more powerful then the MBA. The big feature of the MBA is light weight. If you need a powerful computer then you want the MBP instead.

How does this work?

This is not a complaint, but a confused sigh of admiration. I've got an email account at the university where I teach. When I got my iBook, it took me a while, and a few conversations with IT at the school, to get this account working in the Mail application. (Since I have a Verizon DSL at home, I had to include that SMTP as the outgoing server.) Anyway, I synched this mail account (along with my AOL and .Mac accounts) onto the iPhone, and it works perfectly, both incoming and outgoing. I didn't have to change any of the settings. I thought I was computer savvy, but I can't wrap my mind around this. It seems like magic. How does it work?

The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

OS 10.4.9 Does it work good with Dual 2.5 G5? please read the specs

Hey there:) I'm the guy who's Logic board got fried this weekend on my 1st generation Dual 2.0, so instead of paying $1100 for a logic board, I found a dual 2.5 with a year waranty left on it, and bought it, now is my conandrum:) I have over 400 plugs installed on the drive that was on my dual 2.0, I've reinstalled all of the cards, PoCo, and Motu pci, and Video, and also a memory(non apple) and I'm thinking would it work ok under 10.4.9 that is installed on my origial drive with all of my apps, or It will fry this motherboard too? I have a show coming up in 2 weeks, and have some work left on some tracks, anybody has PPC G5 dual 2.5 with 10.4.9? how does it work, myne was made in June of 04 I believe, and purchased in March 05, so I have around a year of apple care left on it, but I can not be down for now, I just want my apps to work, even If I have to reauthorize.. Should I go ahead and install the druve? or reinstall the apps for few days, and keep the 10.4.8?
my friend has a late dual 2.0 model, and he is running under 10.4.9 no problem, I'm thinking mabe my mac just got tired:) I found couple more people having same problems and was wandering if this will mess things up
thanks
Paul

I think you answered your own question.

Was told a USB device would create a PDF automatically from the data contained within when plugged into my USB port. Doesn't seem to work. How does this work and how can I fix the device I received?

Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?

You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.
