I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

Assuming it's not a Gray Machine specific Install Disc, it should work.

My ImageClass MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. How can I resolve this?

My Image Class MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. I have checked with Cannon and they do not list my partricular machine among their driver updates. Is there another place to download a driver suitable for Mavericks?

Your MF4380dn is supported by the latest UFR2 v10.4.0 driver that supports 10.9. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site,
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
Before installing this driver, please remove the MF4380 from Printers & Scanners (unless you have already performed the reset that Carolyn mentions which will remove it for you). Then run the v10.4.0 installer and when it has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the MF4380.

Dv9ooo series dv9925nr notebook no audio, disk drive no longer works

so i purchased this notebook brand new some years ago from best buy but right after my warrenty went out the audio would not work, then it could not even find the audio hardware installed, shortly after the disk drive no longer worked, so i stopped using because hp wouldnt do nothing about it, well i recently decided to look up the problem and read there was a lawsuit regarding this, i mean we spent 1000.00 for this laptop where 300.00 ones lasted longer and worked better, i have not bought a hp product since because i feel they dont stand behind their products, but i read the amd ones were being replaced, so is hp going to be able to still stand behind that and fix mine too, and what is the issue with it??

Hi @Lookin4help ,

Microphone no longer works after upgrade to windows 8.1

After upgrade to windows 8.1 my internal microphone no longer works.
I tried installing updates suggested in other posts with similar driver problems but they did not work.
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-en-11.51.0048 did not work.
My internal microphone is IDT High Definition Audio Codec
When I go through the control panel and look at it - it shows a status of "not plugged in"
Please help
thanks

RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2

Greetings,
RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2 I tried to reinstall but none of the tabs function . Thank you for your assistance

'''roboform_firefox:'''
The original poster (OP) reported his/her OS as Windows 7 in the body of the question, therefore, your solution would be of no use to the OP. You can also see the OS for the system used by the OP to post the question to the right of the original question in this forum .
Additionally, using an old version of Firefox is ill-advised as old versions contain uncorrected security vulnerabilities. Roboform has been very good lately in keeping their products updated for new Firefox releases and any problems with their products should be reported to them so that they can address any issues and release an update if needed.

DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

Epson printer driver no longer working after 10.4.11 update

It seems that my original Epson driver for my Stylus Photo 750 is no longer working after my latest Tiger update. The system does recognise it but shows an exclamation mark behind it and refuses to print with it (the document stays in the waiting line forever). Reinstalling as well as repairing permissions didn´t help. Fortunately the Gimp Epson driver is still working but I have no access to my coloursync profiles with this driver.
I know that many printer drivers need to be rewritten for Leopard (one of the reasons I didn´t update yet) but it is not understandable why problems happen with a Tiger update.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks very much
Wolfgang

I just discovered a similar problem. I have an old Epson SC3000 and under 10.4.11 my computer doesn't communicate with the printer. It's an AppleTalk printer, connected via Ethernet. I tried bypassing my network switch and connected it directly to the Mac-- no go. I then rebooted into 10.3.9 and printing works fine.
I downloaded the driver from Epson and installed it in 10.4.11. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, the machine just hangs-- can't force quit the utility and eventually the Finder even stops responding. It takes a hard reboot to clear up.
I can't say whether or not printing worked in earlier versions of 10.4. I haven't been using 10.4 for very long, and I rarely use the SC3000.

After installling Firefox 4, my USB drives no longer worked. After uninstalling, they worked again.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A665. Windows 7. I have been using Firefox 3.6.16 without problems. Updated with Firefox 4.0. My USB drives wouldn't work anymore. Tried using my Nook, Flash drives. My computer just didn't see anything plugged into the USB. I uninstalled Firefox 4.0 and my USB ports worked. Installed Firefox 3.6.16. USB ports worked.

Hi grant862
I seam to be having the same issue. I have a number of Flash cards and a flash card reader, well tow card readers actually. I cant get the cards to mount. I have tried swapping usb cables and card readers. I have tried both readers in all my USB ports (17" Mac Book - 10.5.4). The only way that I can get them to mount is if I plug the cards back into the cam,eras an connect them. I think there is a software glitch somewhere. I don't think its the usb ports as I have tried keyboards and mice connected via these ports with no issue. I don't expect an answer to this, but Grant - if you are still out there - I wanted you to know you weren't alone. I am going to try re-installing the 10.5.4 combi download and see what happens. Oh yes and 'repair permissions' (which I have already done once...) but am beginning to think that this is just a bit like saying a mantra as a way of calming me.
...Ohmmm madhi padhi ohmmm....

Siliconmotion video driver no longer working

Updating xorg broke the siliconmotion video driver - the new module no longer works with my hardware - an asus laptop. I have to use vesa at 16. In previous incarnations I was able to fall back or build direct from xorg but the previous versions no longer work either (after also updating my desktop which uses nv - I believe it is because of the new hotplugging because the old nv module would start but would lose all input functionality) (but I see you actually now support the nv module so I no longer have to build my own).
I have tried building from scratch but siliconmotion-1.6.0 does not function with my asus

On the issue of Lion, and the XLR8 devices?
Apple did change a number of items, that limited the XtraView's ability (this is the one, with the built-in audio on the older 2820 chipset). Audio, just won't work in 64-bit mode.
The easy workarounds are to boot into 32-bit mode (hit 3 and 2) on boot.
To check if you are in 64 bit mode, go to the System Profiler (Apple Menu > More Info > Software (left pane) and see if the 64 bit is loaded.
If in 32-bit mode you are still having an issue, please check that you are running XLR8 version 1.4.6. You can download new versions at http://XLR8.com.
You can email XLR8 for a free audio cable (Mac sound jack to RCA audio), or for $25, XLR8 can upgrade you to the new 2860 device that works in 64-bit mode.
Now, that hopefully, we have you working again... about Daystar. Actually XLR8 has always developed, built and shipped the devices. Daystar just had a bigger name and was an Apple Authorized Reseller. But, the Apple relationship ended, and Daystar closed.
XLR8, LLC will continue to support the devices and we will continue to provide great products and good support (sorry, we are a small company, and due to limited time... I can only provide "good" support. Maybe one day, it will be great.)
We are expanding the website at XLR8.com. You are always welcome to provide feedback and suggestions.
Oh, and lastly, thanks to Thiago, for sending me an email, and alerting me to the thread...
Gary,

Super Drive no longer working- Help required

My new MPB's optical drive has stopped working.
I was mid way through a burn when it started making some unusual noises and eventually the burn failed and ejected the blank DVD.
I have had this computer for no more than 3 months and used the drive itself no more that 15 times.
Since the burn failure the drive will no longer recognize any CD or DVD I insert into the drive.
Any advise will be most appreciated.
Thank you
Metso

Since your Mac is just 3 months old, you are still under Apple's one year warranty. Your best bet would be to contact Apple about having the optical drive replaced under warranty.
Good luck!
