How to find driver for LG BP40NS20 blue ray writer

Can anyone give me some ideas what to do to operate my new LG BP40NS20 Blue Ray Reader and Writer? Although on the official website, it says that it supports Windows platform, many Apple fans said that they use this unit very well on their Mac. Can someone help?
Thanks....
James

Go to the company's website, and look for "technical support" or "downloads". Too, if you read a post extolling the virtues of that optical drive with a MBA, you could send the poster an email and ask about a driver.

DVD MatshitaD-2 LF-D110 Do I need?/how to find driver for, Video..

I can open/read Cd's ok. Music >itunes ok.
But when I put in movie DVD the drive runs 30 sec. and the ejects. Does not show on desktop.
Have looked in applications and find nothing that seems like for this hardware.
Have tried several searches on Web and @ Panasonic and find no listings for mac, only one for windows.
Have tried to find driver on this Apple site and cannot or don't know where to look or how. Tried search bar.
Takes me forever to figure out how to get back into forum, I signed up some time ago. Not easy to find.
I read some post and they said drivers are not listed for Mac for Matshita, just windows, and may/not work 100%.
PCI ACARD 6260, ATY,Rage 128, Firewire 400, Mem. 256,128,128,64MB.
MatshitaD-2 LF-D110 (this is as shown in about this mac)
Some video (youtube) plays smooth(Quicktime), some starts and stops eventhough download is ahead of play in bar. Some (Microsofttrainsimul.) is stoppy, and pixed in full screen.
Would like to try to get DVD drive to read to see if can play movies, or do I need to look for a used G5 and with what min. specs.
I would like to know where to go to learn more about mac hardware etc., something to read?
Thank You.

p.s. I had a Sony DVDRWdrive in but took it out because trouble with music cd's, would not read both channels completely/distorted.

"Would like to try to get DVD drive to read to see if can play movies, or do I need to look for a used G5 and with what min. specs"
Is the optical drive connected to the onboard bus and not to the Acard controller card? That card may not support removable media devices. A 400 MHz G3 can handle DVD movie playback, provided that you use a supported program for doing so. If you've replaced the Apple/OEM drive and Apple's DVD Player and iMovie don't recognize the new one, you should try a different player program (try "VLC"). I've watched movies on older beige G3s with 266 MHz processors and Radeon (32 MB or 64 MB) graphics cards, using a patched version of (pre-OS X) Apple DVD Player 2.7. You need an OS X player program that recognizes your Matshita drive and you should probably upgrade the PCI graphics card to something newer than the Apple/ATI Rage 128 card with 16 MBs of SGRAM. Newer cards have faster GPUs and DDR memory, which will make a noticeable difference in overall performance.
As far as streaming web video, your G3's hardware is limited, even with a high-speed internet connection. Uninterrupted, unpixelated playback may not always be possible, because there are other variables that you can't control.

How to find driver for gtx 285 on my Mac Pro

I installed the new gtx285 card into my 2008 Mac Pro the other day (everything is fine) and then I saw a new driver on the internet, but I can't find which graphics card driver I am currently using on my Mac.
I looked in system profiler but had no luck.
Can anyone please advise me on how to check driver versions on a Mac and if there is anything like an Nvidia preferences window that allows me to check the card settings?
Also, there is a CUDA driver listed also that should be installed after the nvidia driver. Does anyone have any information about this cuda driver and whether it needs to be installed?
Thanks.

Did you install the drive CD that was with the 285? The version should be written on the CD. The one online from evga is 2F16.

Kernel Panic: Unable to find driver for this platform

So, my 1 GM RM, 1.5 GHz Powerbook G4 (15 inches) has been behaving wonderfully lately. Until, this morning, it locked up -- as it sometimes does -- after inserting a 3rd party SATA card and waking it from sleep.
This is normally not a problem. A reboot gets things back on track. Not today. The reboot stayed on the grey screen with the white apple logo. I tried booting off of a Disk Warrior CD and an OS X 10.4 install DVD. I go this kernel panic:
Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerBook5,6".
But...and here's the best part...if I boot into target disk mode and hook the computer up to another similar Powerbook we have, the similar PowerBook boots fine using my drive.
So, it seems to be a hardware problem with my PowerBook. Any ideas on how I narrow it down?
Thanks,
Gary

Glad you found your problem. Our kernel panic on our 15" G4 is a bad logic board. $500+ to fix it. Just found out yesterday.

When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger. This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs. How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output?

When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger. This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs. How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output? Is there any other ways of achieving this?

Thanks. I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players). It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe. Would you please show me the way?
The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

You have mentioned about Handbrake as a converter. What is the RF no. (under Constant Quality) meant? It seems that the smaller the no. is, the better quality will be. What is the optimal no.? or should we use the Average Bitrate? Again, what is the best rate? Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

For iMac, except iMovie, what other software is the best for the amateur? I have read Photoshop. Can this support m2ts files and user friendly?
Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.
And maybe another forum member will jump in and help us here!

Unable to find driver for this platform

Some how I did something wrong on my emac and now I get the message "unable to find driver for this platform"

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

I've recently been given an eMac, but when I try to boot it I get the following- panic(cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform "Powermac 4,4"

Recently I was given an eMac that had been sitting in a cupboard for a couple of years.; When I tried to power it up I was getting all kinds of noise at first. I checked all connections that I could, then checked that the memory was correctly inserted into the memory banks, they wernt, so re fitted them then all the weird noises went.
Now when I try to start the Mac I get the first chime then the machine stops with the following error message . . .
panic(cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform "Powermac 4,4"
I've been away from Mac for a few years now and would love to shove my PC back in the cupboard where it belongs, so if someone could help me get my eMac going I'd be real happy,.
Thanks

Actually, either one can run 10.5.8
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire
    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)

Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
May be available from Apple again???...

Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

HELP! "unable to find driver for this platform: 'ACPI'."

I was updating my Macbook Pro's software today the standard way and when/after it was installing the latest Mac OS X, my laptop shut off and now it won't boot up. A screen comes on that says "you need to restart your computer..." (which i did, but this message keeps popping up). on the same screen, it says stuff like panic: unable to find driver for this platform, debugger called, and displays all these numbers and letters. i don't know what is wrong or how to fix it. did my computer crash when installing the updated software/platform? PLEASE HELP!

mrb1568:
If I may put in just one work of caution. Mac OS X: About the Archive and Install feature explains the procedure for the installation option. However, although you can choose to save your settings and preferences, and although all third party apps in the Applications folder are saved, as well as your Users Folder, the article starts out by suggesting that you backup. That is because if anything goes wrong, as you already know it can, you can likely lose all your data, or if it can be rescued, not without cost and a lot of time.
If you don't have a reliable, up-to-date backup I suggest that you use SuperDuper to clone the entire HDD to an external HDD. You can do that by using Firewire Target Disk Mode and connecting an external HDD to the host computer.
Good luck.

I need serious help! 'computer is unable to find driver for this platform'

i was just manually upgrading my OS X 10.4.7 mac mini to OS X 10.4.9 when halfway through the upgrade installation the computer froze and i had to reset it.
now everytime i turn on the computer it comes up with an error message saying:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0039C213): Unable to find driver for this platform: "ACPI"
the only option it gives me is to restart the computer which doesn't help.
can anyone please tell me how i can fix this?

Well. I think you have only two option left:
Archive and Install: will re-install OS X preserving users and files.
Re-install 10.4.9 Combo Update: In order to do this, you either need another Mac running Tiger and capable of starting in FireWire Target Disk Mode and a FireWire cable, or an external bootable HD.
If you have another Mac that supports FireWire Target Disk Mode, you can proceed as follows:
In the working Mac (the Target machine) download the appropriate 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC or Intel). Leave it on the Desktop. Do not run it.
Follow the steps of this article.
Once your Mini has booted from the Target machine disk, run the 10.4.9 Combo Update, selecting as the destination of the install the Mini's Hard Drive.
If you have a bootable external Hard Drive, (with OS X installed on it) boot from it (hold the Option key at startup), download the Combo Update and install it to the internal HD.
If you don't have a bootable external HD, you can still re-install the Combo Update booting from the Tiger install disk, and using an USB thumb drive (sometimes it may need to be formatted as HFS), following this cumbersome procedure.
Good Luck.

How 2 find program for smartform

how 2 find program for smartform

Hi,
go to TNAPR table and find the driver program for the layout.
give the layout name, if you know the output type also give it.
OR
go to se71 and go to the layout , check the text elements syntax then it will show the possible driver programs in the window to choose.
that way you can find..
Or else...
Go to the Tcode -> NACE
OR
Go to the T-code 'SMARTFORMs'
Give your form name
go to the general attributes.
Check the Package name.
then go to T-Code-> SE80
there check the program name for a package wise
