I bought a LG slim portable dvd writer.  I have gotten it connected, and it seems to have downloaded the drivers but then it turns off and I cannot even get the driver CD to eject because it turns off completely.

I bought an LG Slim Portable DVD writer.  I connected it to my MacBook Air and the drivers seemed to download.  There is an icon that says SuperMulti on my desktop.  The portable drive comes on when I double click on the icon, and I hear the drive running.  It turns off about 5 seconds later and I cannot even get the driver disc out because the drive is off (no green light).
I am not savvy.  What do I do?  It says it is compatible with Mac, but then in another place in the directions it states Windows is needed. Please help an old feeble woman!

You need to contact the DVD writer manufacture/vendor customer support and/or read its user manual.  LG is not an Apple product.

  • Lg slim portable dvd writer is not connecting

    Hi there
    I have a Macbook Air and purchased a LG slim portable dvd writer and its not connecting. What am I doing wrong? Is it not a compatible device?
    Thanks

    I  had exact same issue, and not just with external DVD player, also with hard drive I was using to try and transfer backups of previous data...
    Finally out of frustration I tried a different plug which has a double usb (plugged both into imac) and then the normal plug that goes into the LG portable DVD writer and VOILA - worked like a charm :-) ... same was true of my Transcend hard drive!!!
    Hope this helps!

  • LG slim portable dvd writer

    Hi, I bought the LGs slim portable DVD writer know that I bought a product that is compatible with mac (says so on the box). I opend up the box and there was no installation disc for apple or installation instructions. Ive tried various ways to resolve this issue, ive tried patchburn but theres no version for my specific mac version. Does anybody know how to resolve this issue for me?.
    (I know the product is from lg but they dont have a support page).

    BLOODY,
    I'm not sure what your issue is but here is the info I used to get my GP50 to work properly. I modified the DVDPlayback.framework file. You might try another media player first before modifying the file.
    Good luck

  • Why doesnt the webcam work on my DV6 I have downloaded the driver again but still no good

    Still no answers about why it doesnt work it seems crazy that this isnt simply solved, it doesnt leave a good impression of HP. Oh  and the USB ports stiill dont work despite troubleshooting, reloading and downloading drivers. Not a good impression at all

    You can try removing the app and reinstalling; that sometimes cures the problem. If not, then contact the developer as diesel suggested.

  • Can I upload dvd to mac from portable dvd writer?

    I have a MacBook Pro running 10.9.4.
    I have a DVD of an old high school football game that I want to make copies of.  No drive in the MacBook Pro of course.  I have an LG slim portable DVD writer. Can I use this to upload the DVD to my Mac and then burn copies?
    I have found instruction for burning DVD's using Disk Utility, but how do I get the original game film onto my computer to burn?
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    I have Fujitsu scanner Gi-5110c that came with acrobat 7 standard. I just purchased new desktop computer but I can't find my acrobat 7 standard driver cd. I like to know how I can download the driver to my computer.

    Because it was valuable software it was never downloadable; also it was a special "OEM" version that could I think only be installed from that CD.
    Acrobat 7 doesn't work properly on Windows 7 and later anyway.

  • HT1800 how do I install a wireless printer to my iMac that doesn't have a cd drive. It comes with a cd but I can't use it. I have tried to download the driver online but not sure what to do now...

    I have a Brother HL-2270DW that is wirless and it comes with an installation CD. But I don't have an external CD DRive for my imac. I have downloaded the driver online but I don't what to do from here. I suppose if I had the cd drive it would take me through it step by step but I can't.

    You posted in the OS 10.3 (pre year 2000) forum instead of the OS 10.8 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • How to install software for samsung portable dvd writer

    Do I need to download software to use my new Samsung SE- 218CB Portable DVD Writer?  I put the disc in that came with it and nothing happened. Now I can't get it to eject to try a cd or dvd to see if it even works.  It says it is compatible with Mac, but now that I'm looking at the box, the disk only contains software download for Windows.  Any suggestions?

    No you don't and that disc probably has only Windows files on it. All you have to do is connect it to a USB port and it is ready to use. To see if the drive is actually seen by your Mac open Disk Utility, It is in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, and the drive should be listed on the left hand side.
    If you want an icon on the desktop when you insert a CD or DVD disc you make that change in the Finders Preferences on the General Tab.
    And for it to show in the Sidebar of a Finder window check this option.

  • Samsung Portable DVD writer SE-208 & connecting it to my iPad & TV

    First should say I live in England - tried to connect to A UK forum/discussion, site kept bringing me back to the USA!
    The internal DVD drive on my  iMac suddenly stopped working, so I bought an external Apple DVD drive [for about $100] , which turned out to be incompatible with pre- 2011 iMacs.
    Then I bought the Samsung Portable DVD Writer SE-208, ($30!)I plugged in, it played! Watched a DVD movie immediately. Perfect.
    I wanted also to use it: (a) to connect  my iPad to a Grundig TV with a HDMI 1 socket (plus AV, scart, & universal sockets) to mirror the iPad, &
    (b) to connect the Samsung itself to the TV for playing DVDS.
    Seemed simple; I'd need an iPad to HDMI adapter, & then an HDMI to HDMI cable, (pref gold plated, with FerriteCore)!
    100s available, looked through reviews -  & found some people warning that sellers/producers are claiming their adapters to be compatible with all iPads & phones, which they're not, won't with latest iPad.
    So... emailed a company that sells a wide range, & asked exactly which ones I needed to buy. Their 2 line reply wasn't reassuring!
    They were vague about mirroring iPads, but were absolutely certain that the Samsung Portable definitely can't play DVDs through a TV. Not the impression I got from the tech spec when I bought it!
    Any suggestions? (I know system's different in US, but I just saw a thread here about this model of Samsung - just wouldn't let me ask a question! )
    Will I be able to mirror iPad, using cables I mentioned?
    I know this isn't a Mac question, but just in case....is there any way to get this Samsung playing DVD through TV? If not, is there an alternative that'll do that & work so well with my iMac?
    Finally, (phew!) I've always understood there's no way to connect an external optical DVD drive to an iPad - a friend just told me I'm wrong... in this case I'd really love to be!  Is it really possible?
    Kind regards, and thanks for any help anyone can offer.

    You do not need to put the DVD in the chain to mirror your iPod to your TV. You merely need the Apple digital adapter and an HDMI cable. You connect the adapter to the iPad, one end of the HDMI cable to that adapter and the other to an HDMI input on your Grundig.
    You cannot connect the DVD to the iPad.
    You really need to look at Samsung's forum for help with your drive.
    There is no UK version of the ASC.
    Happy Christmas to you.

  • Having trouble installing LG slim portable DVD player to my new MacBook Air?

    Having trouble installing LG slim portable DVD player to my new MacBook Air?

    No installation required. Just plug it in to a USB port and it should work. If it doesn't then either the drive is no good or the USB port has failed.
    The DVD drive will not show up on the desktop or in Finder unless you have a CD or DVD disc inserted in it. It will show in Disk Utility when it is connected to one of the USB ports.
    Could also be your Air is not supplying enough power to it from just one USB port. In that case you would need a Y USB cable that connects to 2 USB ports at the same time to supply the correct amount of power to the drive.

  • I bought a mac air yesterday and i was trying to download maverick but i could not do it, i try to download the old version of numbers because i needed for work, but i could not neither, but now when i check to download numbers is asking for to pay?

    i bought a mac air yesterday and i was trying to download maverick but i could not do it, i try to download the old version of numbers because i needed for work, but i could not neither, but now when i check to download numbers is asking for to pay?

    You are mixing different issues. I will address Numbers.
    Has Numbers ever been installed on this new Mac? Did you have the Mac App Store version of Numbers or did you have the DVD version of Numbers?
    You should be able to redownload a previous purchase of the Mac App Store version of Numbers from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.
    If you had the DVD version, then you will need to install that from the DVD media.

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • My granddaughter put the Start Up Disk in the drive inadvertently and now the drive will not eject it or start up using the HD.  I have tried all of the suggestions for opening it that appear in the manual.  Help?

    My granddaughter put the Start Up Disk in the drive inadvertently and now the drive will not eject it or start up using the HD.  I have tried all of the suggestions for opening it that appear in the manual.  Help?  It is her computer, a iMac G3 or G4 with superdrive, the one with the ball shaped base.   Thank you.

    It's a tray loading drive, there should be a little hole next to it, just large enough for a paper clip.  Stick the end of the paper clip in it and the tray should open.
