Is SuperDrive able to read and write DVD DL?

I remember when I first bought my MacBook, it says it comes with SuperDrive, doesn't it able to read and write DVD DL? But, when I go to System Profiler >> Disk Burning, I don't see DVD DL-Write, but I only see CD-Write and DVD-Write. Does it mean my SuperDrive is not able to write DVD DL?

Look at the text to the right of DVD-Write to determine what types of disks the computer can burn. If the cache is listed as 0KB, restart the computer with the Option, Command, P, and R keys held down, release the keys at the second startup chime, and check again.

What do I need to do to be able to read and write files to a Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable Drive on BOTH a Mac and a PC? I downloaded "Paragon NTFS for Mac" onto my Mac, so now I can write to the drive, but when I plug it into a PC it won't work.

If the HDD is formatted NTFS, then it suggests that there is a problem with the PC. Check with the manufacturer.

IMac G5 cant read and write DVD-R

Hi. I have iMac G5 1.9 with Superdrive MATSHITADVD-R UJ-846 with Firmware Revision: FA0G. Everything was OK, I was able to burn DVD-R and DVD+R too, but now Superdrive ejects all DVD-R disks. I cant burn it, I cant read it. DVD+R are working correctly.
System Profile is saying, that I can burn DVD-R and DVD+R:
D-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
but everythime I try it, the disk is ejected.
What is a problem? Can anybody help please.
Thank you.

Make sure you have enough storage space to burn.
Make sure the DVDs are not scratched, smudged and/or dirty.

How can i store a value in a register, to be called up later in the program. I must be able to read and write to it.

Im looking at a bearing reading and i only want it to do a case loop if the data has changed on the bearing, so i need a value of what it was a cycle ago to compare it with, how do i do this?

Hi,
I'm not sure I,ve understood you clearly but it looks like you need to use "shift registers" in the loop.
Shift registers allow you to pass data from one iteration of the loop to another. For example in the situation when you need to know the value of some variable on previous iteration or on pre-previous etc.
To create shift registers on the loop you have to right click on the border of the loop and select "Add shift register" from pop up menu. Two arrows will appear on the left and right sides of the loop. To write data to the shift register you have to wire them to the right arrow, and to read data you have to read it from the left arrow. When you read data from shift register you read the value from the previous iteration. When you write data - you wri
te the curent value there. If you want to read preprevious data you have to click on the left side of shift register and select "Add Element". The new element (arrow) will appear which corresponds to preprevious value. And so on. To initialize shift registers before execution of the loop you have to wire the some data from the outside.
Another solution of your problem is using of local variables. You can create them from pop up menu of each control or indicator on the diagram. You can set them as read or write local.
Good luck.
Read help.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A 2.5' USB PORTABLE HDD ACCESSIBLE TO A MAC BOOK AND A WINDOWS BASED LAPTOP SO ABLE TO READ AND WRITE TO BOTH.

HO

The biggest diference is exFAT can handle files larger then 4GB in size.
FAT (as it is called on OS X but really FAT32) can only save files smaller then that 4GBs.
So if you don't need to save files bigger then 4GBs then you may want to use FAT32.
But if you do have files (Not folders, just files) bigger then 4GBs then you will need to use exFAT. But there is a caveat to using exFAT. Do Not use Mac OS X to format a drive exFAT, even though it is an option in Disk Utility. OS X screws up the exFAT format to the point No Windows PC will be able to read the drive. In fact when connecting a OS X formatted exFAT drive to a Win PC the Win PC will state the drive needs to initialized.
So always use a Win PC to format the drive to exFAT. It will then be seen by both Windows and Mac OS X.
There is another option and that is to use a program that can make either Windows or OS X read the others native format. But I do not suggest that as those program can, and do, screw up which could make the drive inaccessible to either system. Which would mean you would lose all the data on that drive.

Using Bridgeview with the IAK/IAS Server, I was able to read and write several registers using a string tag. In DSC using the Lookout Protocal Driver, I do not see a way to read/write string tags.

In the tag configuration I can select for a string tag, but I do not see a way to set up the Lookout Protocal Driver for a string tag.

That's right - The old IAK/IAS Servers from National Instruments were a tighten developement with BridgeVIEW together - so that they implement the string data type. Since NI recommends to use the LPD drivers instead of the IAK Servers there is no way to configure string tags in the Lookout protocol drivers. The LPDs or Lookout does not really handle arrays/strings at all - that's a limitation for the Lookout protocol drivers.

External hard drive to be read and write for MAC & PC

All,
I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and have always used a PC until now, which i used an external hard drive to use to copy files to. My mac does not let me write to this hard drive.
What do i have to do to be able to read and write to this hard drive on my MAC & PC?

your drive is formatted NTFS. OS X can only read but not write to NTFS drives. you can reformat it FAT which is writable from both OS X and windows. (this will wipe the drive of course). However, FAT is an inferior format with a number of limitations. another option is to install macfuse and NTFS-3g on your mac

It will let you write to NTFS formatted drives.

I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac. I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

Is there a way to use the FF vi's to read and write complex data types; specifically, clusters?

I'm trying to interface with a Fieldbus device through LabVIEW. I need to be able to read and write a variable that consists of a cluster of two unsigned int 32's. The FF vi's provided with FF Communications Manager 3.2 do not support clusters. I have tried to use a code interface node to write my own, but the CIN's I was using before to do this function do not give me a device list anymore (they were originally written on Communications Manager 2.3.5). I have recompiled the .lsb, as well as trying to use the older versions of the header and library files. Is there another workaround I can use?

Hello Bryan,
The BrowseDeviceList VI was released within NI-FBUS 3.2. For NI-FBUS Configurator 3.1, please unzip the attached file and copy the "addon" and "Ff" folders into "\vi.lib" directory. LabVIEW 7.1 or above version is required for using these addons.
And for your information, there is a free upgrade (version 3.1.1) for NI-FBUS Configurator 3.1 users. Here is the link to the upgrade kit.

How to burn read and write files on DVD

I would like to know how to burn DVDs (image files) with the Read and Write setting. I have changed the settings in Get Info for the image files to Read and Write for Owner, Group and Others and yet when I burn the DVD and try and copy the files back onto the hard drive (to test if it works or not) it won't allow me. When I check the Get Info it says Read and Write for owner (greyed out) and Read Only for Group and Others (greyed out too).
I have also tried to change the status of the blank DVD before adding files and after adding the files (but b4 the burn) to Read and Write, this works but then during the burn process the DVD or burner changes my settings to Read Only.
I am burning with Finder and have tried with Toast 10 Titanium. What am I doing wrong, or not doing at all?! I'm going loopy with frustration!

Kiraly, I agree that the actual problem here might be something else, but as a side issue there seems to be a difference in the way permissions are handled when a file copy is made using Finder compared to when the copy is made using the cp copy in Terminal. At least in my Tiger system, Finder preserved the permission structure, though not the ownership, when it copied a file, whereas cp used the OS defaults.
I tried the following experiment:
From my test user account "t", I created a textfile named ReadWrite.txt, and gave it Read+Write permissions for Owner, Group, and Others. I then burned it using Finder to a DVD which I named PermissionTest, and then unchecked the "Ignore Ownership" box on PermissionTest.
The original ownership and permissions were preserved on the DVD, though of course you couldn't actually write to anything there:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
I then copied the file from the DVD to the Desktop using Finder, and the permissions were preserved!
Finder copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I then trashed the Finder copy of ReadWrite,txt on the desktop, and made a second copy from the DVD, but this time I used the cp command from Terminal instead of using Finder. This time the permissions were not preserved, but reverted to the OS default:
cp copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ cp /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt Desktop
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 19:43 /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I then switched to a different user account "t1", and repeated the above with the same DVD, first copying the ReadWrite.txt file to the desktop using Finder, and then using cp. The ownership of the copied file changed from t to t1 in both cases, but the permission structure again was preserved in the Finder copy but not in the cp copy:
DVD file:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
Finder copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t1 t1 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
cp copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ cp /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt Desktop
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 t1 t1 15 Sep 13 19:51 /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I got similar results when I tried copying a file with Read+Write permissions for all from a USB flash drive to the Desktop, again with the "Ignore Ownership" box unchecked.

Superdrive can read and burn dvds but CANNOT read or burn CDs??

My DVR-107D can read and burn DVD's, but all of a sudden it cannot even read or mount a cd. It also cannot burn CD's. I've run 2 cleaning discs, and even manually cleaned the lens. I feel it may be a software issue at this point... Any ideas?? Finder is set to open CDs and DVDs to the desktop.

Hi
There are two lenses in the drive. It is possible for one to fail while the other still functions. I manually cleaning the lenses made no difference, it is quite possible that aspect of the drive is dead.
You may want to try from a different admin User account (and with a third party app such as Toast, in addition to Finder, iTunes, iPhoto, Disc Utility)

How to read and write on ntfs partitions??

Hello everyone, thanks for viewing my post. I want to know how to read and write on ntfs partitions under sata hd on my arch64 system. I'm using kde as my de and dolphin does sees it but can't access it anyway. I didn't had problem so far on mounting usb drives it just automounts maybe because it is a fat partition not a ntfs? Please I need your help...Thanks in advance:)

You will most likely need to rework your fstab. The one from my desktop is shown below. If you want regular users to be able to access the partition, then you will need to change the gid option as I have done. Although you could create a group just for people you want to have access.
You will need to know the device that your windows partition is held on of course. In my case it is my first hard disk, first partition, hence /dev/sda1.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fbgfhehd1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fbgfhehd2 / reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fbgfhehd3 /var reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fbgfhehd5 /opt reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fbgfhehd6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fbgfhehd7 /home reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/andromeda vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults,user,gid=users 0 0
My XP partition is set to mount automatically, as I regularly interchange documents between the OS's.
Hope that helps.

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes?

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes? In the past, I have used Outlook calendar and tasks and I was able to expand the windows which allowed me to put a great amount of details into either the notes section in events and tasks. It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

How do I set an external HD permission to read AND write?

I received an iMac for Christmas and need a little help. I have a 2TB external HD that contains .shn and .flac files of GD concerts (and other music). I managed to find Cog that will play them...but what I want to do is download them and move them upon completion to the external HD. I can not do this because the HD is read only. I can move stuff to a SD card because it is read and write. I assume when I change the permission I will be able to move the folder of a show to the HD as well. Surely this is simple... Thank You and sorry for the dumb question!

Your external hard drive is likely NTFS formatted for use with a PC.
OSX can read but cannot write to NTFS formatted volumes. You can install software that allows writing to a NTFS drive, as Niel has suggested, or you can reformat your external drive using Disk Utility for use with your Mac.
If you decide to reformat your drive for Mac use, copy your data off to another drive before you proceed.
