Mini Discs and 90 Min. CD-R's

Hi--
I have a G5 1.8GHz. Here is my internal drive as shown in ASP:
HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4082B:
Firmware Revision: C03D
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: No
So here are my two questions about this drive.
1. Will it read Mini Discs?
2. Will this drive write 90 min. CD-R's?
Thank you
All My Best,
Jeffrey

I have looked online and apparently, this is an Hitachi Drive, DVD-RW GWA-4082B.

  • What's the difference between Mini DisplayPort and Mini DVI?

    I've got a two month old unibody MBP. I want to connect it to my TV with an HDMI cable and therefore I need an adapter cable.
    I've searched online and found Mini DVI to HMDI cables and they have the same symbol on them as the port on my mac, but the specs for my mac call the port a Mini DisplayPort.
    Is Mini DVI and Mini DisplayPort the same thing?

    The icon that appears beside the port indicates "video out", not any particular kind of port that can be used for that purpose. Apple has used at least six different ports to provide video out on notebook Macs in the last several years: S-Video, VGA, mini-VGA, DVI (and dual-link DVI), mini-DVI, and mini-Displayport. I believe the same icon appears beside all of them, but the ports and plugs don't look alike.

  • How can I connect my 2009 Mac Mini to a TV that only has the Component inputs available? My Mac Mini has a Mini DisplayPort and Mini-DVI port. Thanks.

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

  • Problem with mini displayport and mini DVI

    Hi,
    My mac mini is connected with the mini-Dvi to my monitor.It works great.
    I would like to connect my mac mini to my TV too.
    I bought 2 adpaters : mini displayport to dvi and mini-Dvi to Video. It does not work. The two screens are black ...
    First i would like to switch the connection : instead of connected my monitor with the mini-DVI port, i would like to connect my monitor with the mini Displayport. I changed the connection but it did not work : the screen is black so i can't do anything ...
    After that i will connect the mini-DVI to my tv ...
    Help me please

    At least two possibilities come to mind. One would be that the adapter you have is bad. Another is that the mini is starting into a resolution not compatible with the monitor. If the problem is the second one, then you can try starting the mini in Safe mode to see if that results in a useable screen. If it does, then set the resolution to the desired resolution and restart normally. The last selection made should persist through normal restart.

  • PC Screen and TV Screen using Mini DP and Mini DVI

    Good evening everyone,
    I bought my MacMini in April of 2009 and connected my 19" PC Screen using the Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter, everything works great. Last month, I bought a new Samsung TV and connected it to the MacMini, using a VGA Splitter. However, the quality on both screens suffers, so I wondered whether it would make a difference if I use the Mini-DVI port for the PC Screen and the Mini-DisplayPort for my TV.
    So, does it make any difference concerning the quality?
    Thanks
    Steven

    I have my Mini hooked up to to screens.
    1. 23" Apple HD Cinema Display
    2. 40" Sony Bravia
    The Apple display is hooked up using the mini DVI to DVI adapter.
    The Sony is hooked up using the mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
    Both displays have a great picture with no quality loss that I can see.
    I would suggest using the mini DVI and the mini DisplayPort for what you want.
    You can get adapters for both ports that will go to the VGA if thats what you want or need.

  • Mini (2009) and Mini-DVI to video (s-video) does not work?

    Before I return the mini and adapter I just need to confirm what I've read in other threads.
    The Mini-DVI to Video adapter is useless with the latest Mac mini's. And there is really no simple way to get s-video or composite video from the newest minis.
    Is this correct?

    You need a converter, and not an adapter with 2009 Minis.
    But I don't see why the solution in this thread is overly complicated:

  • Mini DVI and Mini DisplayPort are not the same thing!

    I bought this "Mini DVI to DVI" adapter thinking it would hook up my Epson projector to the new MacBook Pro:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MjE0NTE2OA
    BUT tonight I found out it is NOT the right thing. The adapter I need would be "Mini DisplayPort to DVI (or VGA)"
    I found the full sized DVI ♂ and ♀ ends of the adapter and projector cord I do have don't "mate" right either. The pins have a slightly different arrangement!
    I just want to warn anyone who might stumble in the same place. I'm off to my local Apple Store to return the adapter for one that will fit one of my projector inputs with a Mini DisplayPort plug on the other end.

    Good call!! Thanks a million. Glad I asked & thanks for the quick response. I was getting frustrated. Thanks again!!!!!

  • Sony mini disc to garage band

    I have a sony mini disc and have downloaded the digital audio to my powerbook g4 garage band in the past by cable - sony md headphone to powerbook optical line in.
    However --- for some reason (I wonder if it's because I accepted a garage band upgrade), I am unable to record to garage band....??
    I fear that it is user error somehow.
    Any help???
    thanks!
    Laura

    Hi Laura
    I use a Sony mini disc to record audio and I connect it's line out (my has
    both optical and electrical out in the same connector) to the mic in on my
    Mac. This work's nicely in iMovie at least.
    (One can import the audio in iMovie and then save as QT (expert setting) and
    as .aiff sound only to be used in eg. iTunes or Garageband.)
    This might need QT-pro upgrade.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Using both MDP and Mini DVI on 2009 Mini

    Can anyone confirm that you can use both video ports to mirror on the 2009 mini? Or is it an either/or situation?

    No-one can confirm it until there is an actual 2009 model mini to test. However, all the evidence so far indicates the new mini will support two displays.
    The page at http://www.apple.com/macmini/features.html includes:
    There’s nothing quite like seeing your photos and movies on a big, beautiful display. Unless, of course, you add a second. Mac mini comes with both mini-DVI and Mini DisplayPort output ports, so you can connect up to two displays....

  • Mini Disc stuck and won't eject!

    My friend just stuck one of those mini-disc things into my DVD/CD slot. (You know, those mini versions of a cd)..anyway, I've tried doing what Disc Utility said to but its not working...PLEASE HELP!!

    Your best option...
    Get a thick piece of paper and fold it in half.
    Tear that in half and stick it in all the way.
    Try to get that behind the disc.
    It should pop right out.

  • I have a MacBook Pro and someone has inserted a mini disc in the disc drive and I can not eject it or even get it to read, How can I remove it?

    I have a MacBook Pro and someone has inserted a mini disc in the disc drive and I can not eject it or even get it to read, How can I remove it?

    Sounds like to me that you have a bootcamp partition with Windows and have the default Windows to boot first.
    I think there is a Windows Control Panel or other setting while your in Windows to set the OS X as the first boot option.
    Also in OS X there is a option under the System Preferences to set OS X as the first boot option.

  • A mini disc will not work in superdrive.  How would you suggest I retrieve the data from a mini disc to my macbook air?

    Reading the previous comments, I understand the last thing I want to do is stick a mini-disc in my superdrive.  Not too super, but never mind.
    Any suggestions as to how I can read it?  It has the user's manual for my new actioncam.

    buy a tray loading LG DVD drive from best buy or amazon.com
    theyre only $30
    they work perfect on the Air (i know)  and have a MUCH longer cable for ease of use than does the superdrive.

  • Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

    Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
    I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

    This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
    I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.

    I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
    A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

  • How do you transfer from mini to imac with fire wire if iMac has Lion and mini has snow leopard

    My logic board has gone on my mini(intel) and I need to transfer this machine to an iMac(with Lion) how do I do this as it doesn't seem to be working with my disc.My update to Lion was purchased as a download and the only disc I have is snow leopard to reboot.

    If your Mac mini has a dead logic board then you will not be able to boot it at all, not even in Target Disk Mode. You would either have to get the logic board repaired, or remove the hard disk and either put it in a disk enclosure or connect it in some other way to the iMac.
    The fact that the two Macs ran different versions of OS X is irrelevant, once you have the drive connected to the iMac you can run the Migration utility to migrate the user account and data.

  • Apple's mini-disc adapter

    i know that Apple recently got a patent and whatnot for a mini-disc adapter thing (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/11/29/appledeveloping_mini_disc_adapter_for_slot_loadingdrives.html) but does anyone know when said adapter will be available to the public?

    You will know when we all know - When you see it for sale on Apple's Online Store site.
