Internal OEM CD/RW & USB Slots

Two questions:
1.) I have an iMac G3, 233MHz, 256 MB RAM, NEW 120 GB Internal HD. I want to know what brand and MAX recognizable size internal CD/RW to replace OEM 24x (if possible)?
2.) Is it possible to upgrade from my current USB 1.1 to 2.0 (or higher if available)?
Thanks for the help

Hey myself and others.
Seems to be I’ve been able to solve atleast something as succeeded burnig an data-file with BurnX Free (1.5) to Octron cd-rw disc.
Seems I was earlier trying to burn a too large file, over 700mb, and this was a major issue for not being able to burn the darn cd-rw that only has a 700mb storage space.
Ok, so far so good. But I’m still wondering why do I at the moment have to use an third-party application for burning cd-rw’s, that earlier was possible do in Finder-application?
I read some earlier posts in here where people where discussing about similar issues but I recon they had other than Sony optical drives, and the problem was somekind’a unusual and unuseful folder thing in the system preferences etc.
Anyway, thanks for my self for being able to solve atleast something for so far...

  • Ost. I am now presently online with my IPAD 2 connected to one of the USB slots in my laptop. How do I go about "Restoring" myself the 3G feature of my IPAD 2? I hope you can help me without my going back to that Apple Store I mentioned before.

    Dear Sir/Madam:
            Good day!
             I went to an Apple Store here in Legazpi City, Philippines and inquired from a store attendant about the problem of my IPAD 2 which lost its 3G feature after I downloaded the iOS7 operating system which she said needed to be "Restored" at a cost.
             I am right now trying to "Restore" my IPAD2 to have the former 3G feature return and my IPAD2 is currently connected to one of the USB slots of my laptop.
             Please help me how to go about it so I may be able to do it myself if it is possible.
              Thank you.

  • Left USB slot just gave me the finger...no longer works

    Hey all, fun little problem here I'm trying to fix. My USB slots are not happy with me for whatever reason. Basically, I had moved my computer over to a TV so we could watch movies on a bigger screen. No issues, until I take it back over to my desk and plug it back in.
    At first, nothing USB related worked. Everything was fine as far as I knew, nothing had happened that was adverse to the computer's well being. Looking at the Motherboard, the signal lights for the USB slots were both lit up. After several restarts, finally, the left one began working, however, it will not allow me to use my externally powered USB hub. The right USB slot does not work at all.
    Any ideas? Suggestions? I only have one PCI slot left, and at times it is used for a WiFi card, so I would like to know if there is a way to fix this without wasting that slot.
    Or, is this just indicative of something bigger to come? The system finally showing its age? Should I be expecting more problems? Should I be looking into new computers?

    Wait; take out the USB component from the Motherboard or just take out the USB devices and swab it with a q-tip? I assume I should wait for it to dry before shoving anything back in.

  • HP Envy 17t-j100 Distance between USB Slots suggestion

    I intended this post as a recommandation for HP. 
    I have an HP Envy Touchsmart 17t-j100 and everything is excelent up until now.
    The only thing that is very annoying is the distance between USB ports. PLEASE increase the distance between USB ports for the future models. I have a lot of problems tryng to connect everything I need.
    Even if I try to open the DVD drive, it will stuck in my USB device. I mean how much difficult is to put a distance of 1 cm between them? 
    If the USB cables are the standard size, there are no problems but most of the USB devices nowadays are much more wider than a standard USB cable and I keep having problems.
    I mean it's a 17" laptop, there is plenty of space on the sides. In the end, it's better to drop the DVD drive and put a VGA slot instead, but with bigger distance between USB ports.
    I am planning to buy another ENVY in the future but I really want my new laptop to have USB ports with a wider distance bewtween them. 
    Thank you very much and I hope HP will take care of this little problem on the future models.
    Have a nice day.

  • How can i get my contacts from itunes to my phone if my usb slot on my laptop is broke?

    basically im looking to get my contacts from my itunes on my old laptop onto my new phone but the usb slot on the laptop is broke so i cant connect to itunes is there any way to get the contacts without connecting the phone to the laptop or is there another way to connect the phone to the laptop??

    Hello Joe,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5!  If you do not have a working USB connection on your laptop, you can use iCloud to transfer contacts from your computer to your iPhone:
    You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.
    Access iCloud Contacts from a web browser
    Go to icloud.com/#contacts and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
    You can find more information about iCloud and Contacts at the following help article:
    iCloud Help - Contacts overview

  • My usb slot won't recognize a usb device

    I have 2 usb slots.
    Plugged in a flash drive and only 1 of the slots recognizes the flash drive.  I don't see the flash drive either on my desktop or in Finder when plugged in to the 2nd of the two slots. 
    I've done all recent updates. 
    Have OSX 10.8.5
    I tested 3 sandisk flash drives.  The slot closer to the monitor won't recognize any of the drives. 
    I logged out and logged in as another user and again, slot closest to monitor won't recognize any of the flash drives.
    I also tested the 3 flash drives on another macbook I have and both slots recognized the flash drives. 
    Any rec's or ideas to help?
    Thanks

    I plugged in my iPhone5 and nothing, no connection on this one usb slot.  Connecting via the other slot a-okay though. 
    Unfortunately my applecare plan expired a week ago!  Hah, how's that for timing! 
    I have appt to go in to store. 
    Thanks

    DRM stands for digital rights management. DRM is a technology used by content providers, such as online stores, to control how the digital music and video files you obtain from them are used and distributed. Some online stores sell and rent songs and movies
    that have DRM applied to them. A file that has DRM applied to it is known as a protected file.
    For more information, please refer to the following article.

  • Apple you made a big mistake when you made the ipad 3 it was as good as it needed to be when it came down to screen quolity all it needed to make it perfect was an SD slot and a usb slot.

    Apple i think with your new i pad you didnt need the new screen or camera because who realy uses a camera on an ipad for anything more that a scipe call.
    you realy needed to put a usb slot and an sd slot on it to make ease of use better.

    1) You're not addressing Apple here. If you'd like to give them feedback and suggestions, visit http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html.
    2) People use the camera for many things besides a SKYPE call... as there are many other apps that use it. Likewise, most users are fine with storing things on the cloud and not taking up precious space on the ipad for additional slots and cables.

  • Does the depth of the usb slot vary on different macbooks ?

    i am looking at usb flash dives such as the Integral memory fusion or PK paris and wondered if the usb slots on the 2014 Macbook pro 13 inch retina are they same depth as any other macbook or are they shallower ?

    Slots that are USB 3.0 are a bit deeper than 2.0

  • W520, when ever I plug something into USB slots it breaks.

    So I'm having massive problems with my laptop, if I plug my graphics tablet in, my mouse stops working and my enter key also stops working, it will then refuse to identify anything I plug into a USB slot. If I unplug my headset, my sound then breaks and my microphone also breaks. To fix these things, I have to restart my laptop. If I try to plug my headset in while my laptop is already on, it wont work and the sound breaks, so I have to ensure that it is already plugged in before I turn it on. Sometimes the sound breaks even when I have not unplugged anything. I restart my sound drivers using services which fixed it at first but no longer works.                                         I am a graphic designer so I can't afford to be sending my laptop of for weeks to be repaired, is there anything I can do to stop these problems?                                       Also I am sorry for the lack of paragraphs, my enter key is currently not working as I unplugged my mouse.   

    Hi kathebrum,
    When did this problem start?
    Have you checked inside BIOS to make sure everything is enabled correctly?
    Have you tried to update BIOS or the USB drivers?
    Are the drivers for the devices you're plugging into updated?

  • USB Slots don't work on 17 inch iMac 1.9 (iSight)

    My USB slots won't work on my 17 inch iMac 1.9 (iSight). I tried them with more than one USB device, with the same results. I even tried two different keyboards and nothing. The serial number is: W85434WQTAQ

    So your USB keyboard and mouse do not work?  You can try resetting SMU (power management).  Normally, I'd suggest resetting PRAM first
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    but that may not work if your USB keyboard is not working...  If resetting PRAM does work, I guess the USB port connected to the keyboard must be working.  If it does not help (or does not work), this is the procedure to reset SMU on iMac G5
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
    When you connect it back to power, if you were using a power strip of some type, try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself (at least initially).  Start it up with nothing except power cord connected, then add standard keyboard and mouse.  Note if they are working or not.  If they are working, is your problem with other USB devices also solved?

    When Console is open, on the left, click on "system log". Then in the top-right, type "system.volume.removable.unmount".
