Internal and External DVD players keep ejecting DVDs

i have a G4 500mhz AGP mac (upgraded to a 1.6ghz processor via a NewerTech card) with an internal CD/DVD player (not burner) and i have an external LaCie CD/DVD burner (the LaCie CD/DVD burner is only about 4 weeks old and i've burned maybe 8 to 10 DVDs on it)
i have had NO problem reading any DVD disks until just about a week ago.. i had bought a new Graphics DVD and it worked the first time i put it in the DVD player... the second time it would not work... (((this was the start of the problem of the purple-ish DVDs not mounting))) so, i thought i had just bought a faulty DVD, they replaced it and the new one still will not work at all.. the DVD will NOT work in my internal DVD player AND it will not work in my LaCie external DVD burner/player...
the internal drive just spins for a few minutes and the kicks the DVD out... the external LaCie drive spins for several minutes, then i finally get a message saying the disc is not readable.
what i have noticed is that any DVDs i put in will mount as long as they have a silver surface.... if the surface is purple-ish color, those are the DVDs that will not mount and keep ejecting
even DVDs that i have burned on the external LaCie DVD burner will not mount in the internal drive OR the external drive...
as i said, all of the DVDs that will NOT mount are the one's with a purple-ish surface... maybe that has something to do with the problem....
something must have happened somewhere because these purple-ish DVDs did used to work... i even did a brand new install of OS X.4 on a totally seperate hard drive and these purple-ish DVDs STILL would not work...
even booted into MacOS 9.2.2 and the STILL would NOT mount....
ANY info would be helpful...

i now KNOW that there is NOT a defect with the LaCie DVD/CD burner and there is not a problem with the purple-ish DVDs, but it is HAS TO BE something with the Mac or MacOS X software because i took the LaCie drive and connected it to my WindowsXP machine and ALL the purple-ish DVDs that would not mount on my mac computer WILL WORK on with the LaCie drive connected to my XP machine...
any suggestions are appreciated.....

Internal and external DVD burner ?

Hi all, have a general question, currently have a HP ProBook 6455b, obviously has an internal DVD burner.. I am looking to add an external DVD burner...is this possible to run an internal and external at the same time? would I need additional burning software? Burning is quite slow takes over an hr to burn one DVD, currently using Windows DVD burner because it is simple and effective.. or should I just use another program that is quicker? any ideas or suggestions on fast burning programs? thanks you guys are the best!

You're very welcome.
I have never burned a movie with mine but I have burned large 3+ GB ISO images using CD Burner XP, and it takes just a few minutes.
Now, if you mean can you insert a disk in one drive, and copy that disk via the other drive using the same program set to copy or grab disk, that should be possible.
It should show one drive as the one to copy from and one to copy to, just like if you had two DVD drives in a desktop PC.
If you are asking can you simultaneously burn two different files on two different burners using the same program at the same time, that I have no clue. I guess you would have to try it and find out. You would open the program and burn one file to a disk and open the program again and burn another file to the other DVD burner. If the program won't let you open two instances of it at the same time, then you probably could open a different DVD burning program such as the one I posted above and use that to burn the other files with.

IMac - internal or external DVD?

iMac - internal or external DVD? That is the question...
Can you install a normal DVD burner in an iMac 800MHz flat panel?
If so, can anyone advice on the technical proceedure?
If installing an internal drive is easy enough to do, can you please advise on types, makes or specs to install.
My current DVD drive runs slow and I'd like a DVD burner, so is a seperate external drive the better option?
External drives just seem so expensive. THANK YOU!

Hello,
Internal.
Most replacement optical drives should work under Tiger fine. If not Patchburn will be the driver you need.
Most of us have Pioneer 'superdrives' installed by Apple so it seems sensible to stick with that product line.
The DVR-112 (18x DVD±RW DL for £21) seems a good deal to me (plus and hour or two of your time).
It's pretty fiddly to work inside an iMac G4 so you must be cautious. Always take anti-static precautions. Here are three options for guiding you through the procedure:
MacWorld
xlr8yourmac
Service Manuals
I've also taken a fair few photos which you can find here.
I'd advise reading the reports on the xlr8yourmac drive database so get other people's experiences first.
You must replace the Thermal Paste when you close the iMac up or it will overheat.
It's probably worth replacing the PRAM Battery whilst you're in there as these have a finite life (once they fail to re-charge you may start to run in to snags - it's only a £5 part).
External.
A whole lot less effort to install and should you upgrade to an Intel iMac / Mac Mini/ MacBook in the future you'll have access to this faster desktop spec tray loading drive rather than the slow laptop spec slot drive installed in these current Macs.
Let us know how you get on/what you decide.

Optiarc DVD and external DVD unable to read discs?

I am trying to burn an Ubuntu DVD. Unfotunately, either if I introduce a DVD in the in-built Optiarc unit of my iMac or in an external DVD recorder, the iMac seems unable to execute the task correctly.
If I try to use the Disk Utility, the "Burn" button is not present.
If I use a different software, uch as Burn.app, the disk is toaast, but the iMac says it is unable to read the disk content.
Btw, I have downloaded the correct iso file of Ubuntu.
Any possible help?
Thanks

Cannot install Yosemite as it keeps telling me both my internal and external drives are time machine backups

Cannot install Yosemite. Keeps telling me that both my internal and external
drives are backing up with TIme Machine. Any suggestions?

Is it actively backing up, or are you encountering a dialog stating that Yosemite cannot be installed because the disk is being used for Time Machine backups?
Read OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups
If for some reason you have a folder called Backups.backupdb at the root level of the hard disk on which you want to install Yosemite, move it to the Trash.

ILife with both internal and external hard drives?

I've been considering switching from a homebrew, multi-boot desktop to a MacBook for my primary computer, in part so I can hang out with my family in the living room rather than be exiled to the home office when I want to compute.
But here's my concern: I have media. We have about 50 GB of iTunes; maybe 30 GB of iPhoto; and tons and tons of digital video that would be stored in iMovie. Obviously the libraries are all interlinked. And it's all growing. I also like to rip DVDs and re-encode them for my iPod and AppleTV. Right now, my desktop has 480 GB of internal storage and that's just about enough.
I have discovered that the MacBook only comes with an option up to 250 GB. I absolutely need AppleCare, so I can't get an aftermarket hard drive. (All my Macs break - this one from the office that I'm on right now has a bum DVD drive, and my wife's has needed both fan and logic board replacements.)
While I'm aware of the existence of external hard drives, I'm concerned about Apple's non-external-hard-drive-friendly way of storing iLife data. If I wanted to keep more recent or useful music and photos on the internal drive but older stuff on an external, and still be able to use iLife seamlessly, would that be possible? (I see myself editing recent video in the living room, but then hooking back into the external HD in the office if I need older stuff.)
What solutions are out there for integrating data stores on both internal and external hard drives into an iLifestyle?
Thanks!

all iApps (iPhoto, iTunes, iM08) support usage of external drives as 'mass storage' devices.. you can tell all apps which drive to use for the Libraries.. there some tools out there, which even allow the usage of 2/many different Libraries in iTunes/iPhoto..
for iM in detail: the Projects are small files, and should stay internal (allthough I'm discribing a 'hack' on my site: http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/im08tricks Project Library (and Events) on External Harddrive); the Events (=GBs) could be located on as much ext. HDDs as you want..
but ...
all iApps are single-user .. you can NOT 'share' Libraries to 2/many different users; the idea of a 'media server' which hosts/shares all kind of data to all kind of users is not 'on concept' of iLife ..

Can I split my itunes music library between and internal and external hard drive?

Is it possible to have music on the two different drives and still be able to make playlists from both drives to put on my ipod? Here's my situation: I'm using a Dell 32 bit computer running Vista Home Premium SP2 which I share with other users. I have a large itunes library (40g+ of music only) that's starting to hog the hard disk space from other users. If possible, I would like to split off part of my itunes library to an external hard drive while still having access to the entire library for my ipod. Ideally I would like to have all my downloaded songs on both the internal and external drives so I'll have backups in case a drive fails, while putting all the music I have hard copies of solely on the external drive. Any help on how this can be done would be appreciated.

If you manually manage your itues library, you can store parts of it on an external drive, or on an internal drive. Just keep in mind that in iTunes that you must set a default location for iTunes to manage it's files, and that will be the default location for iTunes to store anything it downloads. You would need to manuay manage moving things from there if tht is not where you want them stored.
Perhaps a "better" solution would be for you to invest a little mone into 2 external drives. One to hold your entire iTunes library, and the second to be your off-line backup of the first. This is the method I have gone with and I like how it works for me. My entire iTunes library is on an external (portable) 320GB drive. Then, when iTunes is not running, I will clone my external drive onto a second drive I happen to have, this way if I have any failure of my primary drive, I lose at most about a weeks worth of content. For me, I purchase little content during a week, but I do move a fairly large volume of podcasts. With the entire library being on the external drive, if I ever have to swap to using my backup drive iTunes wil just think that it hasn't run and downloaded anything for a week, and all the "lost" content will be re-downloaded automatically. This won't work for apps or purchased content, but for subscribed podcasts, it is great.

Internal and External Reconciliations

WLC Internal and External DHCP

I am currently using the Internal DHCP component within my 5508 Controller with software version 7.0.166.0. This seems to be working fine as the Vlan Routed interface connected to it via the Dynamic Trunk Port is functioning as l have the ip-helper command setup on this specific vlan interface..
My issue now is that we have a isolated ADSL Network which is configured off our Core 6513 but just as a Layer 2 Vlan so no traffic can be routed to other vlans.
With our new WIFI environment which consists of the 5508 Controller and numerous 3502 AP's we wont to utilize this ADSL vlan with our new WIFI environment.. This ADSL Vlan has a dedicated Linksys Router which is currently running DHCP and assigning addresses to clients at the moment..
What l want to do is configure the 5508 controller to use this ADSL vlan aswell but to also keep using the Linksys Router aswell for DHCP..
I have setup a new dynamic interface and added the ADSL Vlan ID to the Trunk port of the 5508 and also setup its own SSID. But for some reason l cannot get both the internal and External DHCP servers to work at the same time ? If l enable DHCP Proxy option on the 5508 the internal DHCP server works and when l disable DHCP Proxy the ADSL Vlan DHCP works through the 5508 but not the internal DHCP Server ??
Can l get both the internal and external DHCP servers to work in harmony or should l be focusing on using one method over the other ?

Hey Scott l have just tried configuring another scope for the L2 Vlan but it doesn't seem to be working when l add the ip address of the management interface which is the internal DHCP Server to the dynamic interface of this adsl network l have setup l dont seem to get a ip address within this scope ?
I am just wandering seeing it is just a L2 vlan without a routed interface would this be the problem and would need to set this up with the "ip helper-address" of the management interface ?
Cheers SG

Internal and external facing applicaitons on same infrastructure

I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to architect an apex production environment where you may have two or three apps open to the public and 10 or more for internal access only. All of the apps (regardless of public or private) are running on the same APEX instance, DB, app tier and web tier.
We are using the APEX Listener on Weblogic for the app tier with an OHS webserver and Load Balancer in front of everything.
The Load Balancer houses all of our certificates and has the ability to perform iRules to make more friendly urls.
Our approach is to assign each app (ie https://someurl.com/apex/f?p=APPID) a static IP from the load balancer and then firewall public/private based on APPID to prevent internal only apps from being reached outside the network.
Unfortunately the iRule friendly url rewrite isn't able to mask the APPID from the URL (https://someurl.com/apex/f?p=200) which currently allows anyone the ability to change the APPID parameter of the URL and cycle through all the apps regardless of the firewall rule in place to prevent it from being publicly accessible.
For example, if we have the following apps deployed and the only one which is allowed open to the internet is app 100, the url rewrite isn't able to mask APPID of 100 (or the APP Alias if used).
Publicly accessible:
https://someurl.com/apex/f?p=100 (192.168.25.100)
Internal only access:
https://somedifferenturl.com/apex/f?p=200 (192.168.25.200)
https://anotherurl.com/apex/f?p=250 (192.168.25.250)
https://subdomain.someurl.com/apex/f?p=300 (192.168.25.300)
I could navigate to the publicly accessible url https://someurl.com/apex/f?p=100 and change the APPID for one of (200,250,300) and still access those apps which should not be open to the internet.
from the internet browsing directly to https://somedifferenturl.com/apex/f?p=200 or https://anotherurl.com/apex/f?p=250 or https://subdomain.someurl.com/apex/f?p=300 would all result in a page not found error since their ip's are not accessible directly from the internet.
What is the best practice to overcome the above scenario and utilize shared infrastructure for internal and external facing applications? Is mod_rewrite my only other option to accomplish this setup and bypass the load balancer?

Hi Jeff,
I'm not sure if this is the ideal recommendation, but I know of a way you could block the "internal-only" applications from being accessed externally.
1) Create a function which inspects the CGI environment variables, e.g., HTTP_HOST, HTTP_PORT, etc. Using this information, you determine if the request is emanating from an internal server name or an external server name.
2) Create an authorization scheme which returns FALSE if the host/port/other CGI isn't what you expect.
3) Apply this authorization scheme to every application you wish to keep from an external site.
I know this isn't ideal, as you have to add this to every "internal-only" application. And if you forget an application, then this application suddenly becomes available on the Internet. But it's one way. If all of the applications are in the same workspace, you could define this authorization scheme in one application and subscribe to it from the other applications.
Joel
P.S. From SQL Commands, you can see all of the CGI environment variables at your disposal using:
begin
owa_util.print_cgi_env;
end;

Backup internal and external hard drives-TC and offsite

I now have Mavericks 10.9.3 on my iMac with a 2TB (1.25 TB used) internal hard drive.
I also have some external drives attached to my iMac with older iPhoto libraries and other files (total file sizes 940 GB and 505 GB). I primarily use Aperture now on my internal hard drive, but still access those iPhoto libraries on my external drives on occasion. I have Time Machine backup my iMac internal hard drive on my 2TB Time Capsule regularly.
My primary question is in regards to getting another copy onto a larger external drive that covers my internal and external drives so I can have a backup off-site. Online backup services seem to always exclude external drives. So a physical drive I can have offsite seems to be the best option.
A year ago I changed the destination of my Time Machine backup to be on a 3TB external drive (backed up iMac internal hard drive and the two externals). However, when I changed the destination of the backup back to the Time Capsule, the TM initiated a brand new backup (it did not recall that I had backed up prior to that on my Time Capsule).
I want to backup monthly, if not quarterly for my off-site storage. But, if every time I change the destination drive for TM, a new backup profile is created, it will overwork my drives unnecessarily.
Is there a backup program or a process on "disk utility" I could run parallel to TM that I just use quarterly capturing only the changes/additions in those few months for both the internal and external hard drives? Also, is there a way to add an external drive to my Time Capsule that is solely used to wirelessly backup the two externals on a regular basis (i.e. keep the internal 2TB drive backing up to the Time Capsule; and the external hard drive attached to Time Capsule via USB used as the backup drive for the external hard drives)?
Summary: I need to backup regularly to the local Time Capsule/additional external hard drive. The data will come from my internal hard drive and my two external hard drives. I also want to do quarterly backups of the additions/changes to all three drives to have on an offsite external drive that I manually backup to quarterly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Carbon Copy Cloner is not on the App store.
Correct.. it is not approved because Apple do not like the fact that CCC (and most likely superduper) which are the most popular backup software for Mac because it makes a bootable clone. Apple will never approve of that. But let me assure you that is the genius of it. If the internal disk fails, you simply boot from the external. It is $40 but you can use on all the computers in your home.
CCC is a clone.. ie when it does the backup, any changes on the drive are changed on the clone. It does not work like Time Machine which simply piles up incrementals until the drive fills up. The idea of CCC is a backup of the drive as it exists at any point in time. TM btw is also not a reliable archive, ie it thins backups constantly.. so you should never rely on it to archive old versions.. but in the middle of a project it does a good job to keep various versions of your files. That is why I specifically said in my last post do not stop using it.
and you can keep using the TC just for the internal drive.
Keep TM running to the TC.. that will then keep a current hourly incremental of your drive. You can set CCC in a way which is a lot more flexible. ie backup just at the end of the day. There is no need for constant hourly backups. So to answer the second question.. you are still using your TC and TM.. but I suggest you only backup the internal drive.
Please read a bit from forum expert Pondini on the value of clones and TM.
http://pondini.org/TM/Clones.html
That's why many folks use both Time Machine and a bootable clone, to have two separate, independent backups, with the advantages of both. If one fails, the other remains.
Now the ports issue.
You can of course continue to use USB2. Just that moving large volumes around will be slow.. as doubtless you already know.
On your particular Mac since you missed out on USB3 which is a pain.. you can buy a Thunderbolt to USB3 adapter like the belkin.
http://www.belkin.com/au/p/P-F4U055/
I suggested the Thunderbolt to Esata (it is an older interface and the adapter is rather cheaper but I hear more reliable.. check reviews for both).
http://store.apple.com/au/product/H8875ZM/A/lacie-esata-hub-thunderbolt-series
Sata is the interface of the hard disk.. Esata just means external sata.. so it is native and without conversion.
I was merely suggesting ways to speed things up. But as long as you don't run CCC on more than daily basis then I think you will be fine just with USB 2. It will take a while on the day you do the swap over for the archive volume, but if you turn off the power saving in the Mac and leave it run overnight it should be able to do most of it.. you need to realise it will have to deep scan both the disks.. to compare files.. but CCC is based on Rsync and it is extremely fast and efficient. I am just not sure I know how long it will take to do. Anyway.. there is a plan.. tweak and adapt as you see fits your needs.

How to Setup RDS custom property when internal and external domain name space is different

Hi All
I am setting up RDS for customer
My internal domain name is domain.local and my external domain is domain.com
I came across below PowerShell cmdlets on some blogs because my internal and external name space are different
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName QuickSessionCollection -CustomRdpProperty “use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:remote.domain.com”
In above command, remote.domain.com points to which host?
Is it pointing to RD Session Broker
OR
Pointing to RD Session Host servers
I am not sure what above command will do exactly ?
Any help will be highly appreciated
Thanks Best Regards Mahesh

Hi,
It all depends who is accessing the RDS Solution.
If you have a large BYOD or large number of external users, it would be better to use a public certificate.
Have a look at the following script which will simplyfy the configuration of the RDSH hosts with certificates.
http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2014/05/20/rds-2012-rdsh-certificate-deployment-script/
You can use a custom RDP property to hide the Session host names.
Have a look at the following article on configuring certificates:

DNS Forwarding Same Internal and External Zone

Hi,<o:p></o:p>
So we have decided that we want our internal domain to be the same as our external domain e.g. domain.uk. I understand that split DNS can be used
to fulfil this requirement but is it possible to set up a forward so if the DNS entry is not available in the internal zone it will forward onto one of our external name servers where it can resolve?<o:p></o:p>
We are basically trying to avoid having to add the entry on both external and internal DNS servers for it to resolve. So far I have added the external name servers to
the forwarders and disabled root hints which didn’t work. I’ve tried to add a conditional forwarder but it says the zone already exists. It seems the only to achieve the internal resolution is by creating the DNS entry both internally and externally.<o:p></o:p>
Does anyone know if this is the case? It seems strange that you couldn’t point the DNS to another external name server for resolution? <o:p></o:p>
Any help would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p>

Delivery report shows status of Pending for external address. Email sent to both internal and external addresses.

We have an Exchange 2013 on-premise server and seem to have an issue with emails sent to internal and external users at the same time.
The issue came to light because someone sent an email to 44 recipients, of which one was internal. None of the external recipients received the email. I checked the delivery report in the EAC and found the internal email marked as 'Delivered' and all of
the external ones marked as 'Pending'. I checked the queues and there were none. I did some testing and sent an email to just one of the external addresses on the list, it arrived. I tried sending the email again to all of the recipients, the external ones
all showed 'Pending'. I tried it again, but this time excluded the internal email address and all of the 43 external emails were immediately delivered.
So it seems that the issue only arises when we are sending to both internal and external addresses.
I then tried a test email to one internal address and one external address. The Delivery report says that the internal address was delivered immediately, while the external address is 'Pending' and gives more information saying: 'Message delivery is taking
longer than expected. There may be system delays. For more information, contact your helpdesk.'. To add further mystery to this, the email was actually delivered.
So, I have two concerns:
First is seems that some emails sent both internally and externally are only arriving internally. This is a huge problem because I don't know how many have been affected. There may be many lost emails we don't know about.
Second, it looks like I can't trust the delivery report. It says pending for some emails which didn't arrive, but it also says pending for some which did arrive. That is no good at all.
For info the server is running Windows Server 2012. I have run a Microsoft Update to check if there are any to apply and the only Exchange one is a spam filter update, which I doubt has any bearing but I will apply when I get chance.

Hi Neil,
According to the description, I find a related KB on Exchange 2010:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2694474?wa=wsignin1.0
It has the similar situation as yours.
This issue occurs because a function in a message tracking component tries to obtain the information for the recipient instead of the external recipient.
Please try to upgrade to the latest Exchange update to check whether this issue can be solved.
Also please check whether Throttling has been set.
Please run "Get-TransportService | fl" to check the MaxOutboundConnections parameter value.

SharePoint 2013 - Office Web Apps - Internal and External Use

I have successfully installed SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps on Azure VMs inside an Azure Virtual Network (IaaS model). Everyting is working well. However, my testing has shown that external users and internal users can't use Office Web Apps at the
same time.
Office Web Apps, installed on its own vm, accomodates an external and internal URL quite well. However, SharePoint 2013 appears to only allow one setting for WOPI Zone, either internal or external but not both. I've set the WOPI zone to Internal-HTTPS (Set-SPWOPIZone
–Zone “internal-https”). OWA works just fine if accessed from inside the Azure Virtual Network. However, if I try to access from outside the Virtual Network, from the Internet, Office Web Apps fails. The exact oppisite is also true. I can set WOPI Zone to
External-HTTPS and accessing from the Internet works fine, but accessing inside the Virtual Network fails.
Am I missing something? I, obviously, want Office Webs Apps to function properly for both internal and external users simultaneously.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide here.
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
To have both the use of Internet and Internal available to your end-users, you first need to configure AAM setting. Open Central Administration > Application Management > Configure alternate access mappings. Let's say there is an existing web application
named http://sharepoint and my end-users from local network are able to access it using the URL http://sharepoint (root site collection). Here you need to add the Internet URL by select the web application and click Edit Public URLs. Add the Internet domain
to the web application, e.g http://sharepoint.abc.com. You don't necessarily have to edit binding setting in IIS. Before continuing next steps, make sure you are able to access http://sharepoint.abc.com from the Internet while being able to access http://sharepoint
from local network (aka Internal).
On the machine where Office Web App (OWA) Server 2013 is installed, open PowerShell to add OWA module and use the following command to re-create a new OWA server farm if you've completed configuring it previously.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "http://owa" -ExternalUrl "http://owa.abc.com" -EditingEnabled.
In this case, I'm not using SSL certificate to encrypt data over the Internet. You can use Internet-public IP of the OWA server like -ExternalUrl "http://198.xxx.xxx.xx". Add CertifcateName parameter if you want to use whether CA-issued certificate
or self-signed certificate.
On your SharePoint machine, you need to re-bind all WFE machines to WAC farm using the cmdlet New-SPWOPIBinding. Next, you need to set the WOPI zone for both internal and external.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-http"
Note: I'm not all using certificate in my guidance. But the steps to have it configured is just to add more parameter.
I've recently successfully deployed OWA multi-server farm for both internal and internet uses for two big clients. In real-world scenario, ideally OWA should be published through firewall (Forefront UAG, TMG, F5...etc). Please let me know if you still have
issues after following my steps. My email: [email protected]
