How to install new superdrive dvd burner

my superedrive pioneer burner, er, burned out. Right now I have a Lacie external burner but it is a hassle to use vs the ease of superdrive with iTunes. I can get a new pioneer drive on ebay for $70 for my imac. Is this something that a "handy with tools" person can replace himself? Is there a site on Apple that tells of parts theat can be owner installed?

  • How to install only Roxio CD Burner Program from the Recovery CDs?

    I bought a T400 a few weeks ago in Korea.
    But my company uses English, so I had to install a Windows XP English version.
    However, at that time I lost the Roxio software.
    I have the recovery CDs for T400 Windows XP PRO SP2.
    If it is possible, then please let me know how to install only Roxio CD Burner Programs from the Recovery CDs.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    unfortunately it´s not possible to install just one program from recovery cd´s.
    But on Lenovo support pages, there you should find your software and applications.
    Please visit with IE and let autodetect your system.
    Then you should able to choose which type of software is availible for you.
    Choose CD and DVD drives.
    Hopefully the T400 department is up to date now.

    Hello leosherifi, there will be an option in your phone itself for updating the software(SWupdate). Or else connect your phone to PC using Nokia suite then use the update present in it. If the update is available then only you will be able to update.

  • How do install new software without a keyboard??

    I just got the mac mini without bluetooth.
    I am looking to add Belkin bluetooth but I do not have a keyboard - How do install new software without a keyboard??

    casimirtad-
    Tis a bummer. It is not a bad idea to have a cheap usb keyboard and mouse around for future troubleshooting purposes, but I am not sure that will get you past this.
    Have you tried plugging stuff in to see if it works? I don't have a happy feeling that it will but it couldn't hurt to try.

  • Installed a second DVD burner. Drive doors opened up randomly

    Hi All,
    This is a quick one.
    Anyway, I'm looking to install a second DVD burner on my machine. I'd like one with LightScribe capability.
    I once tried this before. It was back in the fall and I don't quite remember what type of drive it was. I bought it retail at Best Buy here in the US.
    Anyway, I installed it, and then when I fired my machine up the drives kind of went crazy. They bays/trays kept opening, sometimes seemingly at random.
    So, I know I'm light on the details here, but does anyone have an idea as to why this happened? Has something similar happened to anyone else?
    Thanks,
    Robert

    If the second drive jumper is set to Master (most drives are shipped with that setting) you will have problems. Set it to CS (Cable Select). With the correct jumper setting, Eject will open the top drive, Option-Eject the lower.

  • How to install iPhoto an DVD  only from my iLife 09 disk

    Following hard drive replacement I now have Snow Leopard. I tried to install iphoto and DVD only from iLife 09 disk but could not find a way to install them only.
    The full bundle will use all the free disk space I have which is 4 gbs. Following install of SnowLeopard from new disk iphoto and DVD did not install.

    You can do what you want
    BUT
    you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space for normal operations so you need to find a way to reduce disk usage - 4 GB is not enough and will cause slow operation and possible damage to systems or data
    You seriously need to free up disk space - moving your iPhoto library to an external drive may be the answer -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • New FireWire DVD Burner Plugged In - DVD Player Wants To Change Region?!

    I have just bought an external Freecom FW/USB 2.0 DVD Burner.
    As part of my testing, I inserted a DVD-R video I had made and attempted to view it via DVD Player.
    However, I got a warning window saying that as this was the first time I had played a DVD I would have to set the region.
    This DVD is a home-movie and as such has no region.
    Needless to say, the DVD plays perfectly when using the Superdrive.
    If I did set the region would it only apply to the Freecom or would it be one of the 5 changes you are able to make to the Superdrive?
    Is every DVD burner allowed 5 changes of region?
    I have not attempted to change the region as normally I will not be using the Freecom to play DVDs . . . . . just burning and copying.
    What exactly does changing the region affect? The DVD Burner, my iMac, DVD Player or what?

    Hi Ian,
    most if not all computer DVD drives allow up to 5 changes of the region code with the 5th being the last and permanent one.
    The region code itself is saved inside the drive itself and each drive is 'for it's own'.

    As for your home video DVD you might wanna have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVDregioncode#Circumvention

  • How to set the default DVD Burner (output device) in DVDSP 4.2.2

    For the life of me I can't find that click - default DVD Burner (output device) - but I can see where you can set it under both Build/Format and Format. Too bad it always goes back to the superdrive, which I never use. Thx!

    ha! So I am not crazy on this one. The strange thing is that every once in a while when I open DVDSP, the external burner has become the default, and I can use the Burn click, but only until I do a reboot or shutdown. But obviously then there is nothing in the interface for setting a default. jvenzon, If you do a format and build you can choose, which is what I do each time, remembering to change the Destination to the external drive. Then say "reuse" when asked, and I think that does what the Burn click would do anyway. Cheers,

  • Question: how to install new fonts in Premiere on Mac

    Someone, please tell me how to add new fonts in Adobe Premiere!
    I use MacBookPro with OS X Lion.
    As trying to add fonts reffering to the previous discussion like http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379742 ,
    I realized that it was unavailable because I cound not see "Install New Font" in "Window".
    Is there a good way to solve this problem?

    In Mac OS X, double-clicking on a font file (i.e PostScript, Font Suitcase etc.) should launch the Font Book application, that window will have a Install Font button. You may have to Quit PrP and re-open for font to be available.
