  • Can i use HP external DVD writer on Mac Book pro with retina display?

    can i use HP external DVD writer on Mac Book pro with retina display? and can i use seagate external hard disk on mac book pro with retina display?

    You should have no problem using the external optical drive. As for the external HD, you'll need to format it properly, depending on whether you want to use it with a Windows machine as well as your MacBook Pro.

    Thanks, A Brody.  Don't know what the PRAM battery is.  Here are more details of the fault ... Although I've had the iMac for 5 years this may be the first time I've tried copying a video recording onto the DVD drive (I've made lots of CD copies without a problem).  The folder and files all seem to be reproduced in identical order on the disc but my domestic DVD player cannot make sense of the recording, unlike the original source DVD from which the files originated.  The drive has always been noisy but I've never assumed it shouldn't be!  Does this fit your PRAM battery theory?  If so, please explain more.  Thanks.

  • DVD Writer for Sun Fire V440

    I was wondering if anyone had found a DVD writer that will work with the Sun Fire V440. I would like an internal drive if possible but an external device would also be acceptable.

    Hello,
    the V440 uses a slimline drive like these ones in notebooks.
    Sun doesn't offer a slimline DVD writer (only full-height).
    You might be tempted to install a slimline DVD writer for notebooks or server, but you have to keep two things in mind:
    - Installing non-Sun or unsupported components voids your warranty/service contract.
    - Slimline drives have no jumpers to select master/slave or cable-select . All drives use cable-select (or reverse cable-select). This setting is determined by the firmware of the drive.
    If voiding the service contract or warranty doesn't bother you, get a drive from a dealer that is able to flash a new firmware to the drive or can sell a drive with the correct non-Sun firmware (and the correct setting cable-select or reverse cable-select).
    Regarding the brands or types of DVD drives used by Sun, review the Sun System Handbook.
    Using an external DVD writer in an USB enclosure might be possible, but the integrated USB controller (of the V440) is only USB 1.1 (supporting dual speeds of 12 and 1.5 Mbits/sec) which is insuficient for a DVD writer.
    I would recommend that you browse the messages in the solarisx86 Yahoo group.
    http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/messages
    In this group you can find a lot of expertise. Send a single e-mail to one or two people (pointing out that your question isn't directly related to Solaris x86). Posting a message requires joining the group and please keep in mind that your off-topic question is sent to every subscriber of the maillist.

    This may help, but it's an accessory with an extra cost:

    This new Superdrive also supports DVD-Audio so you can load more music into it than a CD.

  • DVD writer for Ibook

    HI All
    My iBook has a Combo writer (CD RW/DVD player) I'm thinking of getting an external DVD writer and am wondering if I can use any External, or does it have to be specifically for a mac?
    Andy

    I would guess that "any" is too broad because you are surely going to find incompatible ones.
    I would suggest looking at LaCie drives. They have been making Mac compatible drives for years.

  • Portable dvd writer for IMac

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to the mac world of things, and my current imac is the built in cd-rw however I want to use a portable firewire dvd-writer. The difficulties I have is that there seems to be only one model list and I want to know if most will work? (e.g. are they plug and play) the only application I want to use it with is idvd.
    any help would be appreciated and suggested model that you know work?
    thanks
    jamie

    Hi and thanks for taking the time to reply.
    Nope with a cd in or out this drive is just not recognised which is a real shame.
    Looked at various solutions and believe it may be a power issue?
    The drive powers up ok but is just not showing on the system profiler.
    Any ideas or halo would be most welcome
    Thanks in advance.

  • DVD decrypter for Mac?

    Hi ya'll.
    I have a few dvds thar are kind scratched and I wanted to make a copy of them, before they get uneseful. Is there a DVD program that can decrypt these dvds for Mac? I have a Mac intel based. I appreciate any input..
    Lucas1v

    Lucas, there are several ways to do this. You can use Mactheripper, or Handbrake.
    Remember after you use MTR you will need Software to compress the contents to fit a standard 4.7gb DVD, such as Toast 7 or Popcorn.

    There are several schools of thought on the legal issues of this. Some believe it is alright to copy any DVD you own for backup purposes. Wereas, others believe it is Illegal ireguardless.
