Look as if that Asus uses two USB ports. Not a problem, I suppose, if you have them to spare...

No it just comes with a Y USB cable.
The drive caddy I got from MCE Tech with the purchase of the Optibay to put the MBP superdrive in also came with a Y USB cable.
Now what does that tell you.
All Slimline DVD drives are the same as far as power requirements. Asus supplies a Y USB cable in case it is needed to fully power the drive.
I have not had to use it on either my Dell notebook or on the MBP.
There is nothing special about the Apple external superdrvie and with slot loading DVD drives if the motor that draws in and ejects the disc fails you throw the drive away.
There is a reason there are very few slot loading DVD drives of any size. You also can't use any mini CDs or DVDs with a slot load drive. Not unless you want to kill it.

I have a macbook retina with a partition of windows 7 and Yosemite. When I use time machine in Yosemite it wont recognise the macintosh HD, but it recognises the windows hd (bootcamp ). Does anybody know why ?
Please provide a bit more detail on what 'recognize' means. A screen shot is always very helpful.

I have a MacBook Retina, and it won't upgrade to the new software (OSX Maverics). It will begin to download, but then say it can't finish the download. What should i do to fix this problem?
Your problem is really with "Time Machine", backup software included with OS X since version 10.5, not with your Time Capsule router. For more information on Time Machine, check these Web pages:

I have a Macbook Pro 17" 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Is Thunderbolt available on this laptop?
I just got a 27" iMac and I'd like to connect the two for dual monitor purposes. I noticed that when I tried to install the Thunderbolt Software Update it stated that it was not supported on my laptop. Is my laptop not compatible? Is there a way to make it work or is it a lost cause?

When I am abroad (living in Norway) the phone only temporarily (and seldom) connects to a network. Most of the time is says "no service" in top left corner...From advice I have tried to turn it on/off...with and without sim installed...roaming makes no diff. Can anyone help me?
You're welcome.
If she has full reception and connection with the same cell phone carrier where you don't - with you both using a SIM card provided by the same carrier while in Norway with an unlocked iPhone, then make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to have a diagnostic test run on your iPhone.
In the interim, I would contact this cell phone carrier in Norway to ensure your iPhone is provisioned properly. They can run a reset for your account that will require powering your iPhone off, so call them with your wife's iPhone for this. -
Has anyone else had issues with dropping the wifi connections since upgrading to Yosemite

Looking at the Yosemite forum, it is obvious that this is a very common issue. You might want to post in that forum for help and advice.

I am using a bluetooth LG HBS700 headset. Since upgrading my Iphone 4 to IOS 6 I can't have the Iphone more than 1 foot away from the headset without loosing connectivity.
You are a genius! Thank you so much; my LG HBS700 now works with my iPhone 5. It is so wonderful that there is this facility for people to help each other. And it is so agrivating that there are these mysterious, unexplained, magic tricks necessary to make my phone work. Do you happen to know how the button combination resolved the Bluetooth issue? What was the Bluetooth problem and how did this fix it. Again thank you for passing this on.

Suddenly all of my Office-programs have stopped working and will not launch on my MacBook. They were all already installed when I bought the computer. Could anyone give an amateur from Norway a hint of what may cause the problem? (And I can not find the installation-disc for the Office Programs...Super!)

Has anyone had this problem with VPN iPad vpn connection could not validate the server certificate
Has anyone had this problem with IPad 3 after upgrade to IOS 7,
trying to to connect VPN , but I get this messag, "could not validate the server certificate".
I am trying to connect to Oracle VPN.Has anyone found a solution for this yet? I am still getting the could not validate server certificate error. I have tried importing the entire certificate chain as well as importing each individual cert in the chain. My certificate works perfectly with the cisco vpn on my pc.
This is my first experience owning an apple product, and I am very disappointed with the customer support that I have received. I tried calling the help line and no one would even attempt to answer my question. I was then told that the Mac "geniuses" wouldn't know either and that I may be able to find an answer on the message boards. So I am reaching out to the community...Has anyone been able to figure out how to resolve this issue or even the specific cause? Any help is appreciated. -
I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and having issues with utilities screen.
I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. I want to reformat my hdd to start from scratch. My issue is when I am on the utilities screen I am unable to click on anything. I want to delete my current partition but I am unable to click on Disk Utilities. Please help me!
According to your profile your Mac is running v10.7.3 Lion.
If that is the case, to reformat the hard drive you need to use Lion Recovery not Disk Utility. -
I have a Macbook 2.1 that runs 10.5.8. I cannot get it to start on battery power. It will run for over an hour on the battery, if you start it with the charger, but even then it shows a 0% charge! I've tried pulling the battery out while it's booted, pulling battery out and discharging the system by holding the power switch, nothing seems to make it work. any ideas? It has all the updates Apple offers, too.
Try resetting the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
