Need help with cd/dvd drive problem.

I have a MacBook (black) running OS 10.6.8. The internal cd/dvd drive no longer works. I put in a disk and it gets pushed back out after a few seconds.
I just bought a LG Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer model GP 60NB50. The MacBook recognizes the LG drive for opening music and movies, and for burning photos to a disk.
I have been unable to use the LG drive as a start-up drive. I put Disk Warrior into the drive and restarted the computer holding down the “C” key. When the computer starts to launch there is a flash of a “?” on the screen then it loads from the hard disk. I also tried using the Apple start up disk that came with the computer but that also failed.
Any idea how I can get the LG drive to become a start-up drive when needed?
Thanks,
Orin

If your computer is a TouchSmart, and I am only guessing that it is, this document might help.
Good luck!

Need Help with External DVD Drive on my iMac

Hi, This is my first post and I hope there is someone out there that can help me. My PC just died and I'm finally moving on and taking it where it belongs, the dumpster. Anyways, I've been using my Pioneer DVD burner in there and now I'm trying to use it on my Intel iMac. When I hooked it up using an external firewire case, this is what shows up in my profiler.
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D:
Firmware Revision: 1.41
Interconnect: FireWire
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: No
Even though it is Apple supported, nothing mounts and it cannot burn anything in iTunes, Toast, etc. Can someone out there help me out.
Thanks in advance!

Since you have an Intel, you will need to repost in the Using DVDs and CDs with your Intel-based iMac Forum so that users using the same model computer as yourself will be able to help you.

so any help....
i will add here my idea as to how what think i must do......
...i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
and if it does what will i have to make sure i do on the new install of my itunes, to get my playlists back as they are now....
i want to avoid thehorror stories i have read were after such reinstalls soon as there ipod plugged in again the blank new itunes updates ipod to blank....(how do i avoid this), and how do i get my new clean itunes to be like it was/is now....

toz,
We love seeing pro-active thinking here at the Discussions! You're off to a great start!
And you've pretty well got the right idea of what has to be done. A few points to make things go a bit smoother, though.
..i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
It probably would work but fortunately there's an easier method. Use the iTunes Advanced menu > Consolidate Library... command and iTunes will automatically find all the songs in your music library that are not currently in the iTunes Music folder, make copies of them and then put them into that folder (along with any songs that are already there).
With that out of the way, there are two main ways to make the back-up copies of your library. The one this article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes in detail is burning CD's/DVD's. That will take care of the music itself but if, as you say, you want to keep your playlists (and the information they depend on) intact, you will also have to make back-up copies of the iTunes Library files . That link tells you where to find them.
The other approach to creating your back-up is to use any spare hard drive you happen to have available and simply copy the iTunes folder (which happens to contain the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Library files). Some of our Discussions regulars are quite fond of this method .
Once you've made your decision and successfully backed up your Library, restoring the music in iTunes onto your newly-formatted hard drive will be fairly straightforward but it will depend on which method you select. So post back and let us know how you're going to proceed as well as any other questions you may have.

Im new to this and need help with putting a password on my wireless

I've had my linksys router for a few years now and recently have been asked to secure it so no one else in the neighborhood can connect to it but me but Ive never known how and I cannot find the installation CD for it. I have a model number# WRT54G. I tried searchin the forums but couldn't seem to find one I could understand. If anyone could please offer me some help on how to simply put a password on it so just my computer and the others in the house can access the wifi thatd be great. Thanks

To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" or "Wireless Security" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor (see note below)
WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. The patch is located in SP3, so you will need SP3 to run WPA2.
Note:
WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

Need help with adding video to itunes

i have an ipad 1 that i put 2 videos on to teach CPR. got a new ipad. not only will i tunes not transfer the video it will not let me add it to the library to put it onto the new ipad. and help would be appreciated

Is iTunes crashing when you try to add video or is it just not adding them? If it's crashing I found that selecting the video in a folder and then right clicking (PC) then selecting Open With, iTunes, then iTunes will start to play the video but also adds it to the Movies section. I've been having problems with iTunes crashing and found this to be the easiest way around it, obviously not the best choice if you have lots of videos.

I need help with putting notes on the ipod nano!!!!... HELP!!!...

I have no clue how to even go about putting notes on the ipod nano but i allways get lost!!! I just got it and i need some big time help !!!
thanks so much

1 - Ok, to put notes onto your nano, you'll first need to enable it for disk mode. When it's plugged in, go into iTunes, and open up iPod preferences. Check the "Enable disk use" box.
2 - In your Windoze file browser (what you click on files in), locate your iPod, which should be located in My Computer. Open that up, and locate the notes folder. That is where you can put any notes, in the form of text files, that you want.
3 - Make the notes. iPods only recognize plain text and html files. So, when you open the text file up in a word processor, make sure to save it as a plain text file (.txt extension). Then, just drag it onto your iPod.
In disk mode, your iPod will need to be ejected before you unplug it from your computer. Right click on it (in your My Computer folder) and click "Eject"

Need help with moving files into Itunes and syncing

Please help.
I have an external hard drive with my music on it. I created a new playlist in Itunes and did a drag and drop from my external hard drive into my newly created playlist.
Now that I go back and play the items I brought over, I get an error that says "original files not found" and it won't play and therefore does not seem to be syncing to the Ipod to be able to play.
Can you please give me guidance as to what I can do without recreating all the work I had already done?
Thanks,
Michelle

Is the external drive connected?
Has the drive letter possibly changed due to being disconnected and reconnected?

Need help with Cloud/External HD iTunes Setup

Hello everyone! For a while now I've had an ideal iTunes setup in mind, but haven't put together all the pieces to make it work......
Here's my situation: I'm an avid Classical music listener and have a large colection of music on an External HD (about 100GB or so). Some of these files were ripped from CDs, or were originally bought on iTunes on a previous computer, some time ago.
With my new Macbook Pro, I want to save as much internal HD space as possible. I would like these files on my iTunes, just not copied to a folder on my computer. I also want to access this large collection and listen to them on my iPhone (only 16GB). I've heard of iTunes Match, but still don't know if the music is indeed streamed (like Google Play Music) or has to be downloaded to be played. I simply do not want any files to be stored on my Mac or Iphone - a complete Cloud-based system.
How should I do this?
Thanks,
Devin B

I hadnt tried looking there! Found a serial number on the device and the original box. It is 10 characters, but the input field is 20. Tried it with trailing and leading zeros - no luck. Will have to wait to see if Freecom responds - or maybe forget it and try if I can use the disk in any case.
Thanks for response.

Need help with restore problem for itunes v 7.6.2

I just installed itunes version 7.6.2 and I plugged my ipod into my computer and hit the restore button so i can erase and redo my ipod. Then when I plugged my ipod into my computer my ipod is stuck on the restore mode and i can't see the information bar or the music bar under my ipod name. I can only upload music and eject my ipod. PLEASE HELP!!! this is so fustrating.
this is what the screen looks like when i click on my ipod or plug it in.

Minimize your iTunes, right click on your Desktop, click Properties, click the Settings tab. Increase your screen resolution to 1024 x 768. If it looks OK, click OK. You should be able to continue with your iPod.

I NEED HELP WITH DEAUTHORIZING COMPUTERS IN ITUNES...PLEASE

I have 5 authorized computers on my itunes acct and i am only using two of those. i have no idea where the other 3 computers are now. if i deauthorize all my computers will i lose all my music and info or will it return when i re authorize the good 2 pcs i want to use? and will this make any changes to my iphone or itouch?

Authorization and Deauthorization
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
