Please help.

That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

HT2801 I inserted a memory card into the DVD in my imac

I inserted a memory card into the DVD in my imac and was wondering what external DVD drive will work with an iMac 21.5" late 2010. Would take it to be fixed but they take too long and can't really be wothout this computer. Thanks.

turn it off, and turn it on its side and see if you can gently shake it out. You could also cut a firm piece of cardboard in the shape of a hook to help fish it out. Also, any external dvd player will work.

I inadvertently put an SD card in the DVD drive! Any suggestions as to how and get the SD card out?

Have a look at this short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpwDfpH4hR0
Looks easy-peasy. I'd turn the Mac off first if I was doing it.

How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time?

How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time? It brings up the window with that world map to do it, including the warning that "this is the 5th and final time I can do this", when inserting a DVD and opening "DVD Player", but it never executes my click on the "Change Drive Region" button prompt.
VLC or Quicktime Player won't play it either, but won't bring up that window to change Region Code anyway....
Otherwise, I'm not having any other issues with this MBP at all. Peak performance on all counts :-)
I tried resetting SMC after chatting w/ Apple Support, but it didn't help.
That was the link they provided. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
Tried zapping PRAM as well.
Thanks for any clues, Rene

Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:

Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

How do i remove a credit card from my account by phone?? Please help

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "by phone". If you mean that you want to change your iTunes Store account settings from your iPhone, see:

If you mean that you want to be able to call someone and make a change to your iTunes Store account, you can't.

Recommend a good external DVD drive for Mac?

can anyone recommend a good external rewritable DVD drive for my EMac? i want something that will work with iDVD of course... thanks in advance.

LaCie is one. The Macally 500BC Firewire/USB 2.0 enclosure with a separate Pioneer S-Drive is another viable option.
I personally use multiple ADS Tech 1394 Pyro FW Enclosures with a Pioneer 110D S-Drive as well as a few ext. FW HD's and they all work well on mult. G4 systems (completely interchangeable via FW 400).
This link may help you to build your own S-Drive if you wish:

I want a 2nd DVD drive for my iMac

Hi
Have a new 24" Alloy iMac and well, having moved my main computer from a PC to a MAC is great, iLove it! Problem though is there are lots of times where I could utilize a 2nd CD/DVD drive. Apparently the external drive for the MacBook Air is exclusive to that (which doesn't make any sense to me - Apple would sell a ton of these if they made them non-specific rather than to only a small % of sales). So I've been poking around here on the forums and I've seen some referenced to MacSales.com site - but with such a beautiful machine as an iMac, I can't bring myself to getting one of these butt ugly things. Found a handsome LG CD/DVD with Lightscribe external drive, but no evidence of Mac support.
Where can I get, or how can I get an external DVD drive for my Mac? I'd rather avoid patching if possible.
Better still: Apple - update the MacAir drive to be universal for your machines please!
Thanks!

OWC (macsales.com) would be a good source, since they are very Mac-centric and should know what works well and what does not work well with Macs and Mac OS X.
They may be boxy and "ugly" but those full-sized tray-loading drives are the most reliable type. Plus with a tray-loader, you can read the strangely shaped and mini- discs that would choke a slot-loader.
If you want more style, LaCie is also Mac-oriented and they have some choices.

I am desperate right now. I'm not sure if I got myself into some real trouble since I got the in-app and it works fine, but the purchase did not show up. It usually asks ms if I want to pay 2.99 and I would press "yes," but this time it did not ask and I feel like I got this app without paying for it. please any advice!?

CD or DVD drives for a sat pro 6000

any one know if i can put a Model number SD-C2302 dvd player in to a sat pro 6000 lab top or no of any that i can put in please?

Hi Adrian,
You are mostly correct in your statement about CD/DVD drives for your notebook. However, it is important that you only buy drives with dimensions similar to your current model.
Generally CD/DVD drives come in two varieties, those destined for tower type installation and those destined for notebooks. The latter are usually designated as 'slim' or 'slimfit'.
To install the new drive you usually need to unscrew and remove any fitting brackets used to anchor your drive to your notebook together with any plastic trim components. These will then need to be attached to your new drive.
Toshiba notebooks use various drives (Toshiba, TEAC, Mat****a, etc.) so you will generally have a reasonably wide variety to choose from.
Finally, you may need to download drivers for your new drive if none are provided or if your purchase an OEM version. These can be obtained from the drive manufacturers web-site.

DVD drives for an older powermac G4??

Is there a list somewhere of compatible DVD drives for an older Powermac G4? My brother wants to upgrade it and I have no idea what to do...help?

I'd recommend upgrading to a DVD±RW drive, rather than installing a new DVD-ROM drive or combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive. The Pioneer DVD burners are highly-recommended by Forum users, because of their native support within the Apple iApps (iTunes, iDVD, etc.) burning programs. You can get a good deal on one here, which is the same drive that's sold in Pioneer's retail packaging, carried by Best Buy, Micro Center, etc. Other branded drives may require the easy use of "PatchBurn," to create a drive support profile for them. I recently installed an 18x Memorex DVD±RW drive (manufactured by LG) in a B&W G3, and with the help of PatchBurn, it's natively recognized by OS X. Internal (ATAPI) DVD burners are available at electronics, office supply, and computer retail stores. Be aware that many major electronics manufacturers (HP, Sony, Memorex, etc.) outsource the production of their optical drives, so you're buying a rebranded drive. If you watch your local retailers' weekly sales, you can usually get a good deal on one for $40 or less. If you purchase from an online dealer, you can undoubtedly get it for less - such as the link I provided.

This same thing happend to me, you have to make a new account and you have to chose your birthday as if your under 18 or 16, because if you dont own a credit card, you shouldnt be over this age, so basictly just make a new email and appleID and when you chose your birthday, do it under 16 years of age (or your REAL birthday) and you should have an option of clicking "none" for credit card options, but if you want to buy something, you will have to do the credit card stuff, or you can just buy an apple gift card at basictly any store, So this is how i fixed my problum, i hope it works for you, write back your responce of how it worked out please!

Will there be a hd dvd drive for the mac anytime soon?

is there going to be a hd dvd drive for th emac anytime soon? or will the release a firmware update possibly?....also can I use the x-box 360's hd drive with my powermac to watch hd movies

Hi Parker,
Some friendly advice.. if you're just after points, or if you actually ask for them, perhaps you're looking at the purpose of these boards incorrectly. The boards are here to help fellow users of Apple products. The points are a nice reward, but they are optional. Mellow out and accept that you won't get points for every answer.
In this specific case, your first response was quite accurate and helpful, but the rest, in my opinion, were incorrect and based on insufficient knowledge of the subject. Additionally, in speculating about future Apple hardware releases, you may have actually breached the terms and conditions of use for these boards.
Just something to keep an eye on.

T410 - DVD Driver for XP?

We recently purchased a T410 and an extended battery. We removed the DVD drive and placed battery in place, however, when we set the DVD player back the drivers came up with yellow exclamation.
The DVD drive is a Sony AD-7930H. We went to the Sony website and DL'ed the driver for this, however the driver is only compatible for Vista/7. We had ordered our laptops with XP installed on them. We are looking for a compatible driver for this DVD driver for the XP system. Has anyone had this issue and found the appropriate driver?
Thanks in advance.

The DVD-RW driver should be a standard generic driver... Try getting Device Manager to update from it's existing driver database.

I stupidly pushed an SD card into the DVD drive slot,

how should I proceed? MBP mid 2010
I know, how did you do that? my wife was distracting me and the slot is on the right side on my Imac..

On AppleCare warranty? Hightail it to an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Have them take off the optical drive and get the card out. Keeps your warranty intact.
Else decide whether you want to be a Do It Yourself hero or not. No? See above. Yes? www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com have instructions on how to take the optical drive off the Mac, after which you can shake the card out.
Somebody might suggest trying to fish the card out, but from the size of the slot on the aluminum unibody, you're most likely to scratch the case, damage the drive and ruin the card. Taking the drive off is much safer, albeit a bit more involved.
EDIT: are you talking about your MacBook Pro or an iMac? This is the MBP forum....
