HP 6910p laptop with Matshita ujda775 dvd drive and SIM Card slot

Hello everyone ,
I have an HP Compaq 6910p with Windows 7 ultimate 32bit installed, the laptop has Matshita ujda775 DVD Drive,
After a search about its specifications I found on ehow - Matshita UJDA775 Specifications that it can write to CDs but when I try it says "Blank CD/DVD not detected " .
how can I do it, If it is true that it can write to CDs?
Another question is how to use the SIM card slot in my laptop to connect to the internet?
Thank you.

Yes it should burn CDs. Try the fix linked in this prior thread:

The SIM card slot takes a WAN card that must be registered on a network like Verizon or Sprint and will give you access like a smartphone. There is a monthly charge involved.

Install Leopard on a laptop with a broken DVD drive

I went to install Leopard on an older laptop (PB G5) only to discover it had a broken DVD drive. I tried to install it from my intel MBP (running Snow Leopard) via ethernet, firewire, and also via a flash drive, all with no success.
It used to be easy to do this with earlier versions of OS X. Is it still possible to do this? If so, can you tell me how?
Thanks.

I'll assume you mean PowerBook G4; as a PowerBook G5 was never produced.
1) Put the DVD in your MacBook Pro.
2) Boot the MacBook Pro while holding down T.
3) Hook the MacBook Pro and the PB together with a FireWire cable.
4) Boot up the PB while holding down the Option key.
5) Select the DVD to boot from, and boot up. Install.
This is all assuming that you are using a retail Leopard DVD (starry pattern with a big X on it.) A grey coloured Leopard DVD that shipped with a new Intel Mac will not work on any PowerPC Mac.

Need help with my CD DVD Drive

I'll apologize in advance, because I know this message is going to be confusing, but if you can stick with me to the end, you will understand why.
Basically, the problem is that although my Powermac G4 can read almost any commercial disk, it is unpredictable when it comes to those I have burned. But here is what's going on:
1) Until recently, I was plugging along quite happily with 2 Macs: (a) a PowerMc G4, purchased some time around 1999 and (b) an iMac G3 , which I bought about 2 years later. Also had (and still have) a Mac Notebook, which I bought around 2003-04, but until recently had only used once or twice.
2) Both the Notebook and G3 were running on OS 10.2.8, and the G4 on OS 9.2, which enabled me to continue to work with older files that I still rely on. The G3 and G4 are also networked via ethernet.
Hope I haven't lost you yet, because this is where things get confusing . . .
3) All 3 of the above Macs came with CD drives, but no two are alike. The G4 has a Matshita CD/DVD drive and software version 1.4.5., but no burner. The iMac G3 reads and burns disks, but I can't tell you the software version, because, as I'll explain next, I can't see it at this moment. But it does not read DVDs. The Notebook has a read-only drive (version 1.4.8).
4) All was well until about 8 weeks ago, when the optical drive in the G3 started sticking and finally died with a disk (that belonged to a client) in the drive. After much panic, I managed to retrieve the disk, but meanwhile had learned that the problem probably was due to the treads on the slot drive having worn out, and spoke with several repair shop techs who said it would cost in excess of $300 to repair.
Meanwhile, I had discovered the just-released Mac/ Intel, fell in love with it and decided, "What the heck, I deserve it." So I bought one and immediately started to assemble old data strewn across both the G4 and G3 for burning. At this point, I've been at it for several weeks, but right now am unable to view info because it is connected to the Mac/Intel via firewire.
Since the drive on my old G3 was kaput, I tested the first disk I burned on the G4 and breathed a sigh of relief when, after a relatively long boot up time, it finally popped up on the desktop. When the next disk I burned failed to show up at all, I suspected it might be a bad disk (even though it was a major brand name), so immediately burned another from a new pack of disks. If failed to load, too. But when I tried them on my Notebook, both appeared on the desktop within seconds.
So my question now, is where do I go from here?
Since the G4's ability to read burned CDs had always been flaky, I had figured it might have something to do with the speed of the burner. Now I'm not sure — especially since I burned the latest disks at a slow speed, and as I've descrbed, the results are still erratic. (i.e., At least one of them works on all 3 computers, including my new Mac/Intel but not the G3 with the broken drive . .. and the others only work on the Notebook and Mac/Intel.)
I've also wondered if there's been a software upgrade for the CD/DVD drive on the G4 that will work with OS 9.2. (Really don't want to upgrade that system yet . . especially since I'd like to continue using some of my older apps, which probably will not work on my newest Mac.) For the same reason (i.e., concern that it might prevent old apps from working), I've always ignored the automatic software update announcements that pop up on my screen each month — but when I checked the Apple site earlier this evening I couldn't find any anyway.
I'm hoping someone out there will know what I'm talking about and have a suggestion or two that I can try.
Thanks for your attention.

Thanks, Joseph . . .
Meant to reply yesterday, but I was busy all day, working to save and burn those files. But I did want you to know that I took your advice and picked up a Memorex laser lens cleaner disk. Contrary to the salesman's insistence when I asked, it really did seem designed more for drives that play mainly music CDs than graphics ( the only thing that interests me) . . . because tracks 5-14 all dealt with testing sound and there was no way for me to stop the process (as the narrator suggests) because that's not an option on my Mac.
Consequently, I only ran it once. But I did notice a definite improvement in how quickly icons for my burned disks appeared on my G4 desktop. Only problem was that they would not open on that computer although they do on my iBook, which also has PM 6.5 installed. And while they also show up on my Mac/Intel, it can't read them bcause it does not recognize the application — and according to what I've hust learned, NEVER will. (A warning to anyone else with a stockpile of PM documents they hope to play: Better find and learn another page layout application future Macs will read and start converting those docs asap . . . or at least before your older machine dies.)
Also tried copying the primary document (the other files just contain support data , such as graphic/photos, etc.) — but that failed, too.
So it looks like I'm back to square #1 — but still thinking the problem might somehow be related to the size of the document (139MB) even though my G4 has 920 MB ROM (vers. 8.3.1) and total hard drive space of 95 GB . . . Long ago, I also increased the recommended memory for PM from 5,200k to 50,000k. The only thing that makes me question my premise re: size is that the doc opens without difficulty on my little iMac, which only has a ROM CD drive.

Reinstalling OS with a broken DVD-Drive

Hi guys
I got this MacBook from around 2009 with a broken DVD-Drive, and I want to reinstall the OS.
Im not that much into the Mac stuff, since I got the computer from a friend a few days ago.
I got acess to some Windows computers and an external DVD-Drive, but the MacBook can't seem to find the external drive.
How could I reinstall the OS or somehow approach this?

Yes.
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

The new version of itunes has conflited with my cd/dvd drive

It seems that the new version of Itunes has conflicted with my CD/DVD drive because when I uninstalled and re installed the itunes my drive has stopped working and I now have an error code of 19 - Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) I have tried to update drivers but I am up to date, I have installed and re installed my drive this did not solve the problem. I am now at a loss as to what to do I have had a live chat with microsoft and they could not reslove it all they wanted to do was sell me another service!!! Could installing an older version of itunes solve this issue?

See TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

Problems with the CD/DVD drive on my presario CQ50-108NR

Hey there.
I picked up the above listed laptop a short time ago, and I have discovered a problem that I can't seem to solve.
The CD/DVD drive reads and plays movies well enough, but it will not read CD's; any CD, be it data, music, images, whathaveyou. When I try to access the CD it keeps telling me that I need to insert a disk into the drive.
Again, it plays DVD movies well enough, not a hitch there. It just won't read CD's.
I'd love to assume that it's a driver issue (which would be the simplest and cheapest to fix), but I hate assuming anything where computers are concerned.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Is this a used Notebook?
Use device manager to uninstall the DVD drive, open DM, expand the DVD drive, then right clcik on the dvd drive and select "uninstall" Keep DM open, now right click on any device and select "scan for hardware changes" Windows will reinstall a clean copy of the driver. Reboot the notebook
If this does not fix it, the drive is bad.

Something wrong with my CD/DVD drive??

Any suggestions? What could be the problem here?
Thanks.

Can you install tiger on a power mac g4 with out a DVD drive if so how, I do have have a 2011 iMac can I use that in target disk mode with a FireWire cable any help would be appreciated

Hello,
You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

HT1661 Problems mounting Imac in target disk mode on retina laptop with a solid state drive as host

I'm trying to use an Imac in target disk mode to copy files from it to a new retina display laptop with a solid state drive, but the target drive will not mount even tho it does start in target disk mode. I have all the proper firewire connection. The Imac will not respond for more than a few minutes before crashing when started from its own system. I would like to salvage a few files from it before I perform a clean install of the system.
Anyone has any idea why it wont mount in Target mode onto the retina laptop? Help!
Thanks in advance. :-)

Mac OS X doesn't offer a "clean install" option.
I'm assuming your target Mac is running 10.6?
And you setup the target Mac without adding a Firewire cable until after the Firewire logo appears on the screen?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard from Tiger with an external DVD drive.

I am trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from Tiger 10.4.11 with an external DVD drive. The disc loads OK and prompts me for my password to restart and begin the installation. On restart, instead of being asked to accept the terms of use and etc... I just get the same prompt to restart and get caught in a loop. Any tips?

Try this instead:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the disk icon of the Snow Leopard DVD.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

DKA790GX Plat with SATA + IDE DVD drives

I have been running my mb with 2 x SATA HDs and 2 x IDE DVD. No problem.
In (re)building on older computer I had the need for an IDE DVD drive as the SATA was too new so I swapped out one of the IDE from my DKA790GX.
Now I can get the SATA DVD to work fine on the DKA790GX but NOT the IDE. It seems to be working OK as it makes all the same noises as the SATA when I put in a disk. I have tried moving Jumpers and different IDE cable but can not get it to work.
In itself it is no big deal but I kinda like having an IDE around as it has got me out of scrapes a couple of times.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alan

Hi Ferocity,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Please confirm that you external DVD-drive is firewire. It has to be firewire since USB is not a bootable interface woth MacOS X: Don't start up from an external USB device.
