New SuperDrive Not Working XP

I had my SuperDrive working fine with my XP (Boot Camp) partition. I replaced my SuperDrive due to the wire coating issue, and now my new SuperDrive stopped working on XP (yes, works fine on Leopard).
Any help? , please.

Do not delete your partition and waste 3 hours reinstalling drivers. I ran into this exact problem, but happened when I performed an install on a macbook and transfered that partition to a macbook air because we did not have the external superdrive. Soon after the initial install, a superdrive was acquired, but would not be working in XP. The superdrive was being recognized in the device manager, but said there was a configuration issue and to reinstall the drivers. To get around this:
1. Go into device manager
2. Select the External SuperDrive (should have a yellow exclamation mark)
3. Right click SuperDrive, select "Update Driver"
4. Select "No, not this time"
5. Select "Install from a list or specific location"
6. Select "Don't search. I will choose driver to install"
7. Select "USB Mass Storage Device" (do not select External Super Drive)
8. Click Finish
9. Now you will see your optical drive be recognized by XP, but it is not yet functional. Go back to device manager and select the super drive (probably labeled external optical drive, or perhaps usb mass storage device).
10. Repeat Steps 1-6.
11. When you get back to your choices, now you can select "Apple SuperDrive"
12. Enjoy your SuperDrive.
It now works. Hope this helps you save time instead of reinstalling XP and going through another strenuous activation process (especially if you already have VMWare or Parallels set up).

Brand new superdrive not working w brand new Mac Book Air

Hi, just came home from Apple Store today with new computer and superdrive, which is not showing up when plugged in. When I put a CD in it reads it for a few seconds then spits it out. I am on the road so getting to an Apple Store will not be easy for the next week. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

A number of users have had this issue because the superdrive was upside down. They were basically putting the CD in "upside down". Silver side up.
I Apologize in advance, just thought I'd throw it out there...

Superdrive not working, ejects disks

My Superdrive is not working anymore, it's being recognized in the disk utility but when I insert any disc I hear it reading it for about 20-30 seconds then it just ejects it out.
What would possibly be wrong with it and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

My THIRD replacement superdrive arrived today. Guess what? No matter what disk is used, the disk is NOT supported; it is ejected. Being a contrary person, I turned the sperdrive upside down, that is the Apple logo is down; the same rejection.
My conclusions are:
1. The whole **** lot of air superdrives MUST be returned back to the Chinese factory.
2. Any air superdrive MUST be tested by Apple before shipping.
3, I am in the process of writing a letter to the Apple President Mr. Job asking that he stop hustling new products and FIX some of the core products that don't work.
4. I also suggest that as Apple are incapable of making workable air superdrives, a company such as Hewlett Packard be franchised to make air superdrives. I have a 15-year old HP laserjet that worked the FIRST time it was plugged and it is STILL working.

Apple superdrive not working on iMac , will not mount , not recognized

I bought a new superdrive and it was not detected on my iMac. The internal drive was failed , I found a solution here.
http://www.hardturm.ch/luz/2011/10/how-to-make-the-macbook-air-superdrive-work-w ith-any-mac/

The Apple USB SuperDrive only works officially on Macs without a built-in SuperDrive (the MacBook Air, Mid 2011 and newer Mac minis, the Late 2012 iMac and the MacBook Pro with Retina display). As your iMac has got a built-in optical drive, it doesn't work by default, but as you said, that workaround makes the Apple USB SuperDrive work.
Anyway, if you have a Mac with a built-in SuperDrive and the SuperDrive gets damaged, I recommend you to buy a different external optical drive. The Apple external optical drive doesn't have a good reputation because it often fails and it's much expensive than other external optical drives

Adobe Support: Please Read, New Flash Not Working

Adobe, please read this. My Flash player is not working and I would be happy to help you troubleshoot. I have a completely fresh install of Windows XP on a Dell Laptop and the new Flash Player is not working. I am in the tech field so I will understand most of your requests...Here is my situation.
The problem began just after Christmas when I returned home from holidays and tried to watch videos, which I do all the time for both work and pleasure. Videos would not play in a watchable manner...I could hear audio but video was completely choppy and unwatchable. I researched and researched and implemented many suggestions but to no avail. Thus, I COMPLETELY rebuilt my system from scratch. (I needed to do this anyway since it had been 2 years.)
After the rebuild, on a completely fresh install of XP on a Dell D410 laptop (that was playing all videos just fine a week ago), I installed Firefox, went to youtube which prompted me to install Flash, and then had the exact same problem that I had before the complete reinstall of everything. There are scarecely any variables here other than the Dell Laptop, a standard Windows XP SP2 build, Firefox and Flash.
I think I have narrowed this problem down to two things. One, the new version of Flash.
It's choppy on youtube AND it's choppy on megavideo, the other place where I watch a lot videos.
I then tried on IE, which also prompted for the new version of flash, and also had the same problem. Chrome--same result.
However, this problem cannot be a universal problem with Flash otherwise nobody would be able to watch any videos onlline.
This leads me to the second problem, which a complete hypothesis but it seems to be the only thing left: my Dell laptop.
I have noticed that some of the other folks with reported problems, who mention their system type, are also using Dell laptops. Mine is an older d410, but as I said, it was running every video just fine up until a week or so ago when all of the sites forced me to install the new version of Flash. Most Dell laptops use a common video driver set and this is what is leading me to this conclusion.
So, could this be a problem with the new Flash and Dell laptops (or systems that use a common video driver)? As a reference point, my "display adapter" says "Mobile Intel (R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family".
Viewing videos is part of my job (and entertainment) and I cannot do anything right now.
Someone out there...please hlep. Adobe, where are you? We are here providing you with all of the information that you need....

Thank you for this response. Apparently, Adobe does not provide support since this is a free product.
However, Adobe, I need your help.
In summary, I have a fresh build of Windows XP, SP2 on a Dell D410 and the Flash player does not work. This affects at least 50% of the sites I visit. Right now, I simply have the Flash Player uninstalled and can surf the net rapidly. Once I install it, I am back to a crawl and still cannot affectively watch any videos (they all have extreme video choppiness but the audio is fine).
I need your help, Adobe. Everything was working fine until 2 weeks ago. It is unfair of you to distribute a product like this, force everyone to use it, and have it not work for some of us.
So far, this free product has cost me hundreds of dollars as a good part of my job is reviewing videos.
Many have suggested that I buy a new computer to fix the problem.
Is this really necessary?
Adobe, I am a man in need...please help me...
(PS: I am not the only one. I have also entered my problem here http://www.google.pl/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=6039f438d085295f&hl=en&fid=6039f43 8d085295f00047c7e3182b625 to no avail.
And I have done more research than you can imagine. Here are a number of sites where people are reporting problems with Flash:
Streaming videos are choppy all the sudden.... - CPUs - CPU-Components How do I resolve choppy/jerky video in Firefox? - YouTube Help Videos are choppy, Audio distorted. - YouTube Help DIYnot.com > Youtube stopped working "JavaScript turned off" youtube is not working - YouTube Help Flash sound stopped working. | Ask MetaFilter Anyone have problems with Youtube freezing? - Software - Non-Gaming - Discussion Forum | Eurogamer YouTube videos freeze after a second - Google Chrome Help My Comments on Video Problem Flash Player 10 memory leak!! Graphics - Customized computer manufacturer graphics driver is detected AfterDawn.com: Guides: How to play FLV files Adobe Forums: Adobe Support: Please Read, New Flash...

Obviously, I have still not found an answer to my problem. Please help me.

New fonts not working in photoshop...

I have installed new fonts on my mac but they will not work in Photoshop.. can somoene help me? I don't know if I have done something wrong or need to take another step.. I am running CS4 and OS 10.6.4. The message I get when I try to use a font I recently installed is "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being intitalized." Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most likely you have some corrupt fonts installed.
Try validating the fonts using FontBook to find the most obvious problems.

MacBook Air superdrive not working 10.7.1

Hello,
I have been working on two Macbook Airs. One has 10.7.1 on it and the other had 10.7.0 on it. I can get the one with 10.7.0 to upload up the cd but not the 10.7.1. I updated the 10l.7.0 computer to 10.7.1 and now its having the same issue. I have tried connection the superdrive in both of the ports on the 2 computers. I tried another super drive and also go the same problem. Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Topher Nadauld

I can confirm this behavior. My suspicion is that Apple is using a non-standard implementation of the USB interface to power the DVD drive. I don't think that the USB spec provides enough power for the drive.
The drive will not work in Mac OS X or Windows if it is plugged into a USB hub.

Macbook New Topcase Not Working

So after i figure out the problem i was having before in my previous discussion, i threw away the new topcase that was working completely fine for a few months and used an external mouse and keyboard til i could find another one.
Low and behold i bought a new black topcase,excited to finally have my frankenbook finally finished. Plugged it into the logic board, powered on fine..... and what do you know, the trackpad and keyboard do not work! The power button also refuses to work once it is on, only time it works is when i boot it up. I have looked into issues with new topcase's not working and that they need a new SMC firmware update.Tried downloading the update which my computer says i do not need as it is upto date
Macbook 2.4 ghz early 2008
4.1
1.3f1
Has anyone figured out how to fix this issue?
I have read that sometimes the connector on the logic board can become loose but i have checked it and all seems fine. Really annoying as there was no issues when i bought the logic board and new topcase and used it for month's, then the old issue before of my screen dying due to one of the pins under the topcase shorting something out. Then the topcase itself completely stopped working, now finally have a new topcase and the bloody thing will still not work!!
Only thing i am going to try out now is to buy a new cable that connects the topcase to the logic board and see if that helps... although the topcase was new anyway so the cable should work fine.
In hindsight i wish i just bought a used blackbook off ebay instead of building one myelf

Ok here is an update, formatted my Hard drive and tarted from scratch, installed Snow Leopard and after it had installed it said that it could not detect a keyboard at all. Could this be a Logic board issue then? I do not understand a the previous keyboard had worked fine but then screwed up, could this be a problem with the board and that the previous topcase was still functional?
Someone please help

Check for new mail not working on one account

For a number of months now I have been having trouble getting new mail. I have my Apple Mail 2.1 preferences set to check for new mail every minute and play a New Mail Sound when something arrives. This seems to be working for my earthlink POP account but not my dot.mac e-mail account. The only way to get new dot.mac e-mail on my G5 tower is to alternately click on the left most icons for the different incomming tray icons in my in box, then the InBox icon itself. I dont have to do that for my second e-mail account--an earthlink POP account, or on either account on my laptop. Also, When I do click on the specific in box for my dot mac account, it takes forever to load that new mail, and the activity monitor shows that it is caching every attachment that is already in my in box even though it is already old mail.
Also, Mail seems to be following Smart Mailboxes arbitrarily. For instance, I have a smart mailbox set up to display any incoming mail from someone in my Family Group from address book, however it seems to ignore about half of these, but display the other half accurately.
Anyone know whats going on or how to fix it so I dont have to mannually keep checking for new mail? Again, I have my preferences set to check for new mail every minute and to play a new mail sound, and new mail does work fine from my Earthlink POP account.
Thanks for your help.

If this happens to your .Mac account only, try rebuilding the mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

New USB not working in new macbook pro. What do I do?

I have just bought a brand new 16 GB USB stick for use with my 2 month old macbook pro. My mac is not recognising the presence of USB stick but I have checked and the USB works in the other family laptop which is a Toshiba. I have used other USB's with the mac so I know it is not just as simple as the ports are not working. Help!

For reasons unknown to me, your MBP does not like that USB device. I assume you have tried all available USB ports.
Ciao.

'Create New Contact' not working in Phone app

I want to Create New Contact after a call from a new number (selecting the "circled i" button next to the "unknown" phone number in the Recents tab) but while I was entering data in the Contact app, I was interrupted, the iPhone went to sleep and my extensive Contact entry was lost because no data is saved until the Done button is manually selected which closes the record.
When I go back to the Phone app and select the "circled i" button next to the "unknown" phone number in the Recents tab, both the "Create New Contact" and the "Add to Existing Contact" buttons to take me to the Contact app do not work...i.e. nothing happens when I press them, even after putting the iPhone to sleep. After several tries, I let it sleep for 10 minutes and now these buttons linking to the Contact app from the Phone app again work as usual.
So we have two unacceptable defects in the iPhone basic Apple apps here:
1- interruptions while entering a new Contact app record causes the new record to be lost because it isn't automatically saved when the iPhone goes to sleep or an incoming call, etc, but only when the user manually selects the Done button in the Contact app record, which closes the record and one must then select the Edit button to resume data entry (repeat often to simply save as you enter in case there is an unexpected interruption...how dumb is that?. This is just poor iOS implementation that doesn't consider common usage situations that cause data loss, and it could be data that isn't easily retrieved. If Apple doesn't know how to implement auto save at frequent intervals, or upon certain events like sleep or incoming call, then they should at least put a Save button next to the Done button so we can manually save without the stupid Done and Edit button pushing, repeat, repeat, repeat.
2- A bug in the Phone app that causes the link buttons to the Contact app to stop functioning in at least the situation I describe above. This is unacceptable in a mature iOS basic usage app.

SuperDrive not working post Mt Lion upgrade

My SuperDrive was working flawlessly on my 2010 Mini. I upgraded from Snow direct to Mt Lion and SuperDrive now only reads CDs I previously burned but not DVDs I burned. The discs I burned are back ups of photos so I can't speak to sound files, etc. Retail CDs and DVDs are ejected without error messages including the Apple supplied DVDs of Snow, support apps and my fresh Adobe Lightroom 4 disc. I repaired disc permissions, reset PRAM and SMC to no avail. Any ideas??

Publisher News Portlet Not Working

Hi,
We use Publisher 6.5 with Oracle WCI 10gR3 portal. We have a News Portlet in our home page which has suddenly stopped displaying any content. It has a huge number of news articles, i.e. around 250 Plus articles.
We found a setting in the DET relating to max items which was set to 200, we increased it to 400, and published the whole folder, but things still did not work out.
If we try to preview the portlet while adding to another page, we are able to see the content, but once the portlet gets added, nothing displays once again. Also in Publisher Explorer, the content item attached to the News portlet is not getting displayed if we click Preview. We get an error message "Error - Requested resource is currently unavailable. Request to the remote server has timed out. Try again later or contact your portal administrator.
Gateway was not able to access requested content. If the error persists, contact your portal administrator. "
Please can anyone help as this is an urgent issue

First you should contact Oracle Support and get this set as a priority one issue and escalate it so that you get the fastest possible response.
It sounds to me like you've blown away your index.
I'd check the following:
1)
go into your publisher directory <portal home>/ptcs/publishedcontent/publish/<path to your content>
Verify that the content is actually still there (actual html files of each of your news articles).
2)
go into publisher explorer and check your articles folder (in the appropriate area) and verify that your content is still there.
3)
Within the problematic folder, open the Content Item Index - this will contain all of the items that you've posted to your announcement portlet.
If someone checked-out this file and then did an "undo-checkout" I believe it blows away all changes since the last "check-in" which typically is nothing, and blows away all your content - which would cause precisely the problem you are seeing.
