How would I get a super drive installed?

I don't currently have my MacBook, but I did order one with a combo drive because I couldn't afford to upgrade to the 2.0 GHz version and get the super drive. So my question is, how easy is it to upgrade to a super drive on my own after I get the MacBook? Is it possible? How much would it cost?

wantedtobeyour-
i agree with the above posts. if you really want a superdrive for its dvd capabilities, i would recommend that you loan the money from somewhere, somehow and change and upgrade your order. it would be a hassle to upgrade later on in the road. it is not as easy as upgrading the RAM or hard drive.
plus, to comment on the last post, buying an external dvd drive is not a bad idea at all. the superdrive that macbook offers is rather quite slow. you can purchase an external drive at half price, if not, fraction of the price of the superdrive upgrade in the future. and plus, the performance would be much faster.
if you are a traveler and need the dvd drive in handy at all times, you should get the macbook with the superdrive installed. if you do your dvd burning at home and not travel around so much, get an external drive.
hope this helps

What is an 'SPL-2.dmg' file and how can I get it (the driver) installed?

subject line is question

*My question to Samsung:*
"SCX-4200 driver for Mac OSX.5.5
After downloading the driver from
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/download/supportDownDetail.do?group=&type=&sub type=&modelnm=SCX-4200&language=&cate_type=all&mType=DR&dType=D&vType=L&cttID=2047002&prd_i a_cd=06010300&dispnm=SCX-4200,
the following error message is displayed: 'The following disc images failed to mount - image: SPL2.dmg; reason: not recognised.'
Please advise."
*The reply from Samsung:*
Thank you for contacting us regarding your SCX-4200 and the recent issue you have experienced.
It is difficult to say why this error may have occurred, it may be that the file has been corrupted during transfer. You should try deleting this file again and re-downloading it or possibly even try downloading the file from an alternate location such as below -

Should you wish to discuss this issue further, please feel free to call our IT Helpdesk on 0845 726 7864 quoting your reference number."
*Having tried all that, I did phone them, only to be fobbed off, +'Try re-installing from the CD you got with your printer. If that doesn't work it must be their ([Apple's]) problem.'+*
My MacBook is trying to mount it, according to right-click 'Get Info', using DiscImageMounter, which only returns the error message (above), 'The following disc images failed to mount - image: SPL2.dmg; reason: not recognised.' Disc Utility doesn't tell me much more. What should I do with it?
My printer (Samsung SCX-4200) clicks and warms up when it's sent a command to print, but that's the end of it - it won't do anything else, which is why I went looking for the driver in the first place. Note the Samsung Download Centre site at _http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/download/supportDownDetail.do?group=printsolut ions&type=printsolutions&subtype=monomultifunctionproducts&modelnm=SCX-4200&disp_nm=SCX-4200&language=&cate_type=all&mType=DR&dType=D&vType=L&ct tID=2047002&prd_ia_cd=06010300 says this driver was updated/uploaded 28/10/2008, but I can't get the **** thing to install. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Probably also worth noting: the printer works fine with Windows on my MacBook's BootCamp partition.

Hi
in DOS (which 3.11 is run in) you must manually add a driver in Config.sys and also load the CD-extension in Autoexec.bat.
If you need an example of that, please reply and I'll try to get hold of one.

Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

Hi Matthew,
Perpetual products which use serial numbers are platform specific. You will not be able to use the same serial on a windows machine.
In order to use Photoshop on both Windows and Mac you will have to go for a creative cloud subscription.

Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
I hope this will work for you.

How do I get administrative priveleges to install optional plug-ins for cs5

how do I get administrative priveleges to install optional plug-ins for cs5 and or how to install these optional plugins thanks

To add to Mylenium's reply, here's how to do it on Windows and this is what microsoft website says:
Why do I have to be an administrator to install a program?
Only administrators can make changes that will affect everyone who uses the computer, such as installing software and hardware and changing security settings.
If the program you are trying to install or run says you must have administrator rights, but you are already an administrator on the computer, right-click the installation icon for the program, and then click Run as administrator. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
If the program installs but does not run, right-click the program icon, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, select the Run this program as an administrator check box, and then try to run the program.

How can I get Flash Player and install it?

I29/Aug/2010 17:37
TO: Adobe Forum
I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
How can I get Flash Player and install it?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

In Snow Leopard you update Java from Software Update (in the Apple menu). You can check your version by opening Terminal and typing
java -version
(don't get creative and type anything else)
The latest version is 1.6.0_65.

Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

Hello to all
another option is to download and install the portable firefox version from the next link, if you want to use it occasionally : http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./
portable version is more flexible, and you can delete it any time without worries
