  • IMac - external DVD drive crashes Aimersoft DVD Ripping program

    I am using Aimersoft DVD ripping software (legal version) to make mp4 files out of DVDs. It works fine on the IMac internal DVD drive. But when I try and use an external DVD drive using FW800/400 conversion cable, Aimersoft program keeps crashing.
    Any thoughts?

    Peter,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Here are some alternative choices for playing DVDs.
    If the LaCie drive USB or FW?
    Tiger is serious improvement over 10.1 (although you may need some more RAM) I'm not sure whether it will cure the DVD player issue? If you still have space (9Gb) on your 40Gb drive you could use Mac the Ripper, and then open the VIDEO_TS file in DVD Player.

  • How do I share my iMac's DVD drive to a Windows 7 Laptop?

    I know the other way around is easy - lots of how to on how to access your PC's drive from a MBA ... But my PC Laptop's drive is broken I need to use my iMac's DVD Drive ... Is this possible? I also have Win XP installed on Bootcamp if saring only works between Windows...
    Thanks in Advance

    System Preferences->Sharing, check DVD or CD Sharing to on.
    Also, make note of the iMac's IP address in case Windows
    doesn't automatically see it and you need to connect
    manually.

  • My iMac's DVD drive launches discs across the room when I eject them.

    Hi.
    I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem, and also, if anyone might have a solution for it.
    As of recently, [I don't know the exact date that the problem began, but it's been awhile], whenever I eject a DVD from my iMac's DVD drive [by either ejecting it in Finder, or by pressing the keyboard's Eject button], instead of just coming out halfway like it used to, the drive now launches the DVD across the room.
    I'm starting to get annoyed by this problem, especially when I burn something and am not around to catch the disc when it comes flying out, and later find it lying on the floor in the corner of my room.
    So does anybody know if there is anything that I can do about this?.
    I did that online-chat thing on Apple's website, and the guy told me that I have to bring it in to a service centre, and then disconnected.
    I'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
    Also, I don't even know of any [or if there even ARE any] that are in Montreal, Quebec, [which is where I live].
    Oh, and I bought an AppleCare Protection Plan with the iMac when I bought it last January [2005].
    Soooo... Does that do anything for me?.
    Thanks so much!.
    -Steven.

    20" 1.8gHz iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   The DVD drive is a Matshita UJ-825 DVD-R drive.

    Hi Steven,
    I had the same thing happening with mine. When I was on with Apple Care, they asked me if I would be willing to send them my computer in exchange for a new one (refurbished). It turned out they new about the problem & are trying to figure it out with computers that are actually experiencing the issue. This was just a couple of weeks ago, so you might call & check about it. They cover all shipping costs.
    Good luck

  • How to install Win7 if iMac's DVD drive is dead?

    I recently replaced the hard drive in my 2006 iMac and am starting fresh with Snow Leopard.  The problem is at some point the DVD drive stopped reading DVDs and will only read CDs...(???)  So when I go through the Boot Camp Assistant it can't read from the internal DVD drive.  I've tried the Windows disc in an external USB DVD drive and also in the DVD drive of my new MacBook Pro in Target Disk Mode. 
    The problem is Boot Camp Assistant never recognizes the disc.  I can attempt to boot from the Windows disc from inside the MBP by holding option at startup, but it goes nowhere.
    So how can I get Boot Camp working with a:
    burned DVD of a Windows 7 download (valid license)
    2006 iMac Core Duo with broken DVD drive
    external IDE DVD drive connected with USB to IDE bridge
    2011 MacBook Pro and a Firewire cable.
    Help?

    Why not get the drive repaired, things will be much easier.

  • DVD drive replacement on Satellite A100-646

    Hi all,
    I want replace the DVD drive on my laptop. (I have many problems never solved)
    Do you know if exist a list of compatibility model for the A100-646?
    Model to suggest me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards
    Fabrizio

    Hi!
    In your case I would only choose a DVD drive from the list of the user manual. Otherwise the drive could not work and/or recognized.
    By the way, if you have lost your user manual you can download it on the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    You can also look on eBay for a second hand drive. Maybe there you can find a good offer.
    Bye

  • Trying to install iwork '09 from dvd on new imac with no dvd drive.....iwork is brand new (bought off ebay) in unopened box....I have at my disposal an older imac with dvd drive and a 16GB thumb drive...what is best way to load iwork on the new imac?

    bought my mom a new imac this xmas...didn't realize it has no dvd drive....just picked up a new unopened version of iwork '09 for her to use off of ebay....need to get it loaded on the new dvddriveless imac......I have an imac at my house with a drive and a thumb drive i could bring over to her house if I could somehow burn an image of the iwork dvd on the thumb drive...is this possible?  is there a better solution other than buying an external dvd drive?

    First use Disk Utilty to make a disk image of the iWork disc on your iMac. Then there are two easy ways to install on your mothers new iMac. One is to copy to your USB thumb drive, visit your mother and install from the thumb drive. The other is to use a free upload and download service like www.wetransfer.com. Upload the .dmg disk image via www.wetransfer.com, then your mother downloads and installs. After installation you'll need to update iWork for Mountain Lion compatibility.

  • New Mac Mini dvd drive replacement

    hey has anyone tried to replace the DVD drive with the Sony BC-5600S bluray drive
    its sata and the right size and its a slot drive, i really want to give it a shot
    the drive can be had online for around $100. anyone tried this or think its possible?

    Well I got a bluray drive in my PC rig I could pull out and connect to my mini and test this out but that's way too much work besides I could just google it and find out which I did:
    It looks like it works in bootcamp just need to make sure to watch out for some stuff
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1213777&tstart=4
    Someone was even nice enough to write a step-by-step on how to do it:
    http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=84989
    p.s. Since the 9400 video that comes with the 2009 mini is HDCP compliant you should be able to use the DVI adapter it came with and you'll get smooth video since the 9400 was designed for high definition playback!

  • What can I do? Trying to install cs4 indesign on on iMac without DVD drive.

    I copied InDesign onto a USB stick from the CD. I want to install InDesign on my new iMac (I will soon ditch the computer that now has InDesign installed).
    I have to install InDesign from a USB stick as the iMac has no DVD drive.
    When I clicked on 'Setup' this message came up.
    "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."
    There was no error number.
    Is there any chance of my being able to actually talk to Customer Support to solve this problem?

    It is not likely that customer support will support you in this due to it being an older product.  What you should do instead of trying to use the USB stick is to download the installation files and install those.  Then use the serial number from your DVD to activate the installation.

    You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • DVD Drive Replacement

    So... the situation is I can't use my DVD drive... I don't need any help on how to fix it or what to check since I've already gone through the problem/situation... does anyone know a different way where I can access/use my dvds... such as cd/dvd sharing on a different computer and use it from there... I would like any idea/suggestion... when I say that I mean like EVERYTHING/ANYTHING. I want whatever ideas you have 'cause I don't have any and I really badly want to use my dvds. If all else fails I will buy an external dvd drive or get a dvd replacement...

    See if this helps:

  • IMac CD/DVD Drive

    The CD/DVD drive in my iMac will not load DVDs properly - it sounds as if the drive starts to spin the disk up, the stops.  It appears to try this around 5 times before ejecting the disk - any ideas?

    It's time for resetting PRAM and NVRAM. Try this:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. This may resolve your issue. If not, let me know.

  • Tecra A8-EZ8312 DVD Drive Replacement Compatability??

    Hi All..
    Working on a clients Tecra A8-EZ8312 to replace the dead DVD drive.
    For whatever reason Toshiba apparently is hardware specific?
    What's so special about the DVD Drives that the Bios wont recognize a basic DVD replacement Drive?
    Does anyone know what drives are compatable with the Tecra?
    Please don't answer with "Call Toshiba for a replacement drive".  There's a better answer out there.
    Anyone have experience with this?

    These two part numbers will for sure work.

  • Macbook pro unibody dvd drive replacement

    Hi guys, im new here, looking for some advice.
    My dvd drive on my macbook pro 13" unibody is playing up, it makes a odd noise when a disc is inserted, like something plastic is scratching.
    my DVD burner is GS23N SB03, i think i need to replace mine. Ive found a burner on the net but its a GS23N S23NA, does anyone know if i can swap mine for this? and would i need to do something software wise to get it to work?
    many thanks
    Gary

    How new is your MacBook Pro?, if it is a mid 2010 you can bring it to the apple store to have them take a look to it. If this is the case (having a 2010 MBP), you'll most likely be under the 1 year hardware warranty, and if an error is found with your MBP internal DVD drive, Apple will replace it at no cost.
