Lightscribe dvd supermulti drive cd writer replacement

I have an HP Pavilion a6512p PC. The OE lightscribe dvd supermulti drive cd writer has quit working. I am looking for a replacement. Any recommendations?

Hi,
The industry has pretty much bailed out on Lightscribe technology. There are a few listed on Amazon. You might want to consider an external optical drive.
Here is a lightscibe optical drive. If needs be, you can buy all 106 that are available.

LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive / CD Burner

Dear Community:
My Drive all of a sudden does not want to read CD's or CD-R's. I was uploading previously burned CD-R's into my new computer and it was working fine. I got the the 5th CD-R in the middle of the rip it just stopped. I cancelled the Rip, ejected the disc and put is back in. Now when I put a Burned CD-R, the Drive makes a funny noise. I put in a DVD and it purrs like a kitten...It seems to read everything else. Help! :smileysad:
My system is Vista 64-bit.

First check the Device Manager and uninstall the dvd/crom disc drive driver and restart the computer. Then wait 2 minutes and try to do a test read or burn from a cd or dvd and if there's still issues or it's it's noisy, assuming that cables are in properly conencting to the disc drive i would say you may need to buy a new burner.
So I recommend a new Lightscribe drive from newegg.com
They go around $20-$35.

CD/DVD (disk)drive on computer not working after 10.8.5 update

I have been having problems with this resently. Every time I try to load a CD or DVD into my computer, it doesn't recogenize it. It makes sounds like it's thinking and stuck and then after a lengthy period of time, spits out the disk and says that I had inserted a blank disk. Obviously it wasn't blank or I wouldn'd be trying to figure out what the hck is wrong with it here. I am so beyond frusterated because this all started happening right after the last update for the Os X operating system. can someone please help me here. I don't know what to do. My computer has NEVER done this before and I NEED it to start working again. And before anyone suggests it, yes I have restarted it... SEVERAL times.

Hello DaniHime86,
We've an article that provides a few additional tips that can help get your Mac's SuperDrive working correctly again.
The drive accepts discs but they do not mount or are automatically ejected
Make sure the drive is not upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up.
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
The MacBook Air SuperDrive is designed to be used with MacBook Air and Mac mini computers that do not have a built-in optical drive. For best results, connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
OS X 10.7 Lion or later: Open System Information by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click System Report.
If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.

Hey rudreshchoubey,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
If Windows doesn’t install properly
Verify that you’re using an original, full version of the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, or Windows 8 Pro.
Restart your Mac and hold down the Option key until one or more disk icons appear on your screen. Insert the Windows installation disc into the optical drive or insert the USB flash drive with Windows into a USB port on your Mac. Select the Windows installation disk icon, then click the arrow beneath it. Quickly press any key on your keyboard to start the installer. Follow the onscreen instructions to repair or reinstall Windows.
Thanks,

My dvd/cd player/burner is not working...

My dvd/cd player/burner is not working, and I don't want to spend $$$ to fix it. What dvd/cd is available at a good price?

You have given us little to go on. What Mac product line and model? Different Macs take different optical drives.
Also, when asking what is available, telling us you general geographic location is a help. That way, someone won't recommend a vendor that cannot ship to your location.
Although you cannot determine from the non-intuitive forum title Apple chose, the forum you found is for Mac hardware made before 1998. Anything here get very few views. If you have a newer model, we can ge the Hosts to move you to a more active forum and more eyeballs.

Equium A300D - Toshiba ATI display driver upgrade is not working

Hi
Has anybody else found the Equium A300D PSAK2E Windows Vista 32 bit Toshiba ATI display driver download will not work from the download centre? If you choose run, the download causes the windows explorer to crash during the install and the upgrade fails, the same with save and the install does not self install.
I have been trying to get the TV out S-Video port working. See thread on TV out not working. I have tried everything. has anybody else got this problem as Toshiba are unaware of any problems with the S Video TV out not working on this machine.
Thanks Vince

Hi,
The down load downloads ok but when you try and unzip it, then install it halfay through you get an error message stating windows explorer has stopped working and it has crashed. The Graphic card then will not work. I have tried uninstalling all the ATI software and deleting the left over files but it still wont install.
I have downloaded the programme from the ATI site and this installed ok and the graphic card is working. The s video tv port still will not work.
I have gone into great detail on the post regarding the TV out not working about what i have done. When the s video lead is connected the computer can see the tv but will not output, when you try and enable the display the display will not enable. I have used the FN f5 key with no success, changed settings on the avi controller and display settings in the control panel
I will take the machine back to where i bought it from next week and see if they can get it to work!

DVD-SuperMulti Drive on Satellite Pro notebook

I'm looking to purchase a 15.6'' Toshiba Satellite Pro PSCMMA001001 Notebook.
Is the Optical Disc Drive: DVD-SuperMulti Drive provided suitable for recording back-ups of large (genealogical) databases? Ie is it fully recordable for data, photographs, etc.?
Thank you.

Hi
Using posted part number I found specification for this Satellite Pro C50. It has DVD-SuperMulti Drive.
Of course you can use it to save all your important data to empty medias like CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW.
I dont know which burning application is originally installed. Check it out and test functionality.
Of course you can remove it from the system and install your favourite burning application.

I Need a PC Detective for..The Strange Case Of My Malfunctioning DVD RW Drive: IT WILL NOT EJECT!

I can't get this drive to spit out my disc and quit saying error code: There are no factual errors.
Here is the play by play summary list regarding my pc's vital stats, events that occurred just Before the problem happened, what happened During the time and right After the strange malfunctioning of my DVD RW Drive.
BEFORE:
My DVD RW disc drive is malfunctioning on my Acer all-in-one desktop running a new install of win 7 ultimate x86.   I was in the middle of labeling a handful of blank title DVD's by looking at the content on them.
I stuck in the first no label CD to jar my memory. When I did realize, I ejected it, wrote on the top, then went to the next DVD and did the same. When I loaded the 3rd DVD in the DVD tray, I wasn't sure what was on it. I saw 3 files labeled photos, templates,
and back up. upon further inspection I realized the content I was looking at was off my off my old palm pilot. I clicked eject. BUT...
DURING:
...at the exact moment I click eject a I got a double bubble notice that tells me Adobe has a important update and Windows has important updates too. OK, so I approve the updates. Adobe was fast... Windows takes awhile and says I can continue doing what I was
doing while the updates occur.
AFTER:
I go back to my DVD Drive project. I figured the timing was bad that's why my disc didn't eject, and so I right click to eject my DVD again. This time the notice says "Please insert disc in the drive". WHAT?? So I start a series of mouse clicks to
reload the contents i just read from the disc of old palm pilot info, and it was still all gone. The drive reads nothing is inserted aka the drive is empty. OK But I still cant eject my disc either. Frustrated by the obvious fixes not working I eventually
do reboot my PC to start fresh, and now I see my palm pilot info displayed on the disc that's in the DVD RW drive: I click on a folder to see the contents just to make sure I can. AND I COULD. Then I try to eject it and the same BS happened again... Error
code: 0x80070057 / Path: unknown / Source: Catalog - OK OK to spite the fact this error code has no indication that it applies to my DVD RW issue so.. whatever, I try to see if my contents still appears, and it does.   I again try to eject
and it pops up error: "again please insert a disc into the drive" so I check again to see my content and again it's also gone.In my Device Manager everything is fine and says working correctly?
LAST: I make my way to the Microsoft Support run the DVD RW "Fix-iT" tool. Before that I ran a internal diagnostic with the tools in my OS.. I read the help section, I did all the obvious things I could think of. I can't afford not to have
my Drive working, I need to install some programs.   PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME?

Hi,
According to your description, maybe the disc is damaged or the disc is compatible with the drive. Since you cannot eject the drive,
you can update the drive to see if the issue persists. Maybe the issue is due to the hardware of the
Disk Drive, you can contact your computer’s vendor for assistance.
In addition, since it is related to windows 7, maybe you can ask in the Windows 7IT Pro forum below for further assistance.

Hi,
Follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run from the CD without the need to install on your HDD. This will show whether the problem is with Windows or a Hardware problem with the optical drive.

DVD super drive problem-does not eject

am facing strange problem with my DVD super drive. It does not eject when idle for some time and when its empty. I have a dual core Mac Pro with snow leapord OS. I have replaced it, updated the OS.. nothing fixes the issue.
it only ejects when I restart the mac pro.
Please help as it does not respond to eject key on keyboard also.
Thanx in advance.

If nothing else works for you, when you hear sound of drive trying to open after pressing keyboard eject button, strike the box of mac pro on both sides of the drawer with clenched fists.
I have been doing this for years.

Adding a LightScribe DVD/CD Drive to MacPro Early 2009

It appears as if the 18x SuperDrive in this machine does not support LightScribe.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9192513&#9192513
I would like to add the capability to my new computer. I have found at least one external drive that will support LightScribe with the use of Toast 10. I have enough stuff on my desk already (including the LED Display because the cable is too short to put the machine under my desk.
There is a free DVD connector and you can add a second internal drive by prying off the cover on the drive.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a second LightScribe capable drive?

direwolf8 wrote:
My point is that it's not a universal feature on computers in general, and it's not listed in any of the Apple specs, so it seems odd to me that anybody would assume it would be a standard feature. Apple never included the disct@2 technology for labeling disks that was a proprietary feature of Yamaha drives. One could just as easily express surprise that the Mac Pro doesn't have SAS drive support, serial and parallel ports, and GPIB support, but I'd still wonder where you got the notion that they did or should.
I'm sorry if you didn't find this helpful, but I think it was a superfluous question since Lightscribe support isn't mentioned anywhere in Apple's specs.
As to Apple specs, I make no assumption that it should be a standard feature, but this is a forum on +expanding function+ of my Apple computer. Surely you do not suggest that Apple is like some other vendors who expect that users should have somebody else do their thinking?
It is a feature that I, as the owner of the computer, choose to have. Apple may license parts of it to me and it may come with license restrictions, but it is my computer and if I want to add function, I will do so.
When PARC had the motto of "don't mode me in", I resonated to it. And I like open source software and open standards, but I will not let ANY vendor including Apple "mode me in" with their specs. As for Apple, they certainly have their share of proprietary features so if I wanted to be pure as snow I would run only LINUX. Oops, there is proprietary stuff there too if you look closely enough.
Most of the multimedia disks I create have inkjet labels on them. I wanted a second drive and LightScribe was frosting on the cake; not the reason for adding a drive. The end product does not look as good as my ink jet labels, but it is less easily damaged. While I archive most things offsite with a service, I do like to have a physical copy stored offsite as well. That is where most if not all of the LightScribe disks will go.

How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!, How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!

I recently installed os leopard on my power MAC G5 and my DVD studio pro 3 application is not working properly as it used to be. I was unable to create motion menu and build the dvd properly. Then I deleted and reinstall dvd studio pro 3, but it did not solve the problems. What should I do?

I have a sneaking suspicion it won't work in 10.5.x, possibly because of the version of Quicktime...
System Requirements:
Mac OS X v10.3.2
733 MHz or faster PowerPC processor (G4 minimum) and AGP graphics card
256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended)
20 GB available disk space
8 MB of video memory (32 MB recommended)
QuickTime 6.5
DVD drive required for installation
I think your going to need a dual boot Mac with 10.4.x on another drive or partition.
