Newly installed 3rd-party DVD drive is loud

I have just installed a Pioneer DVR-115D in my old G5. When it writes and sometimes when it reads, it becomes really really loud... as loud as all the fans of my G5 going at full speed. Did I do something wrong during the installation? Do I need some sort of update?
PS. I used Patchburn to install the driver.
Thanks for any help.

Max,
Did you ever resolve this issue? I've just upgraded to the DVR-115D, and I'm having the same problem.

Installing 3rd party SSD drive in xserve 1,1 (2x2GHz Xeon)

hi apple, et al. now that you have discontinued the xserve, will you please tell me how i can use a crucial 128GB SSD in a sonnet adapter in an ADM sled? i have installed, the xserve will not recognize the ssd. restart. nothing. not in sys profiler, not in disk util, nowhere. the sled glows orange, then red. upon restart the sled is green, but still no drive. unplugging and plugging the sled, back to orangethenred light....
come on.
is there a jumper i need to change? anything i can do here?? this is incredibly frustrating as the only reason this will not work is that you guys have hardcoded the acceptable drive units, right???
i have no intention of giving up my xserve as it ... ahem, serves all my needs perfectly. but i would like to upgrade the boot drive to ssd.
HOW CAN I DO THIS???????
thank you very much for any ideas.

I'm in the same boat. Did you ever get an SSD to work reliably as aboot volume in your 1,1 Xserve?

Third Party DVD Drive to Install Tiger

Can a third party DVD drive be used to install Tiger? I have an iBook G3 with a CD ROM drive I would like to install Tiger on.

I can't tell you, as my D2 DVD burnt out quicker than a candle burning at both ends, but of these...

It'd have to be the one with Firewire at least... just don't know what's happened to LaCie in the last couple of years.
I'd ask OWC about these...

Installing 3rd Party Drivers

Is it possible to install 3rd party drivers during a Safe Boot?
If so, is it better?
I'm having trouble with drivers loading sometimes, and other times not ... seems to be having problems "around" "Login Window".
I use auto Login on Startup and Restarts.
Wondering if this could be a "when and where of installation" issue.
Guessing ... apologies for being vague ... particulars can be found on M-Audio's site Forum (if you're really interested):

Stumped again ... this is a new replacement PCI audio card.

I got a Rev B Replacement card from M-Audio. It behaved the same way as before under 10.5.6, until I ran AppleJack.
I believe that cleared up the problems: M-Audio's v2.0.8 drivers don't install properly under 10.5.6... As I understand things, Ownership and Permissions need to be changed, and caches needed to be rebuilt. AppleJack under auto pilot did this relatively fast ... compared to how long its taken to arrive at a solution ...

Also replaced the PRAM battery.
Up and running fine to date with the Sonnet Tango USB/FW and Rosewill NIC PCI cards alongside.
Perhaps AppleJack could solve other 3rd parties driver's installation woes?

3rd Party Hard Drives on Intel Xserve

We purchased an Intel Xserve with 3 80GB Apple SATA drives in the three bays. As we did with our G4 Xserve previously, we wanted more storage and opted to install higher capacity drives.
We ended up buying four (don't ask!) Seagate Baracuda 400GB SATA 7200 drives. Two worked fine but the other two would (about half the time) either show up on the login desktop about 15-45 seconds after the main desktop appeared after a reboot and occasionally wouldn't show up at all until another reboot was performed. Only about 1/3 of the time they actually show up fine and simultaneously when the main login desktop loads (like they should).
So thinking it might be a vendor problem, we purchased a Maxtor 500GB SATAII 7200 drive. Same problem.
On the occasions when the drives don't show up at all, System Profiler doesn't show anything in the bay, nor does Disk Utility see it. Nothing in the system.log or hwmond.log.
There didn't seem to be any problems with the original 3 80GB Apple drives (also Seagate Barracudas) that originally came with the Intel Xserve.
Does anyone know why this may be happening? Is it Apple's way of forcing you to buy their (overpriced) hard disks? Why would 2 of 5 3rd party drives work OK and the other 3 not?
We never had a problem using numerous 3rd party SATA drives in our existing G4 Xserve.

Don,
We' upgraded our 2 80GB Apple SATA drives to Maxtor 750 SATAII drives (the ones Apple appears to use in their own modules of that size). I found one drive would consistently mount just fine, either after a reboot or removing and reinserting the module. The other would stay in "orange light" condition - never attempting to access it. (no blue light flicker). What I found after taking the drive back out of the module and reinstalling it is that there appears to be a great sensitivity to pressure on a cable that runs under the drive (and appears to only activate the lights in the front of the drive). For instance, I tested by not screwing the drive into the module at all (mearly letting gravity keep it in the module) and hooking it back up. It mounted immediately. Putting one screw in at a time, I found that the drive would not mount after inserting the second screw. More games allowed me to get all four screws in, the drive would mount but the lights would stay orange. Leaving the drive screwed in, but putting some finger pressure on a side of the drive near the front of the module shifted the drive slightly, and afterwards the drive mounted properly with appropriate signal light behavior.
If your drive is anything like mine, my guess is that it is very slightly larger than the 80GB drive and pressing the cable into the frame either shorting it, or giving it bad contact via pressure on it's connector at the back of the module. Try shifting the cable, relieving pressure on the drive, etc. until it appears to reliably mount. I've had no problems with the drive since performing this proceedure (though it's only been a bit over a week).
Good luck!

Is it possible to install a HD-DVD drive on a Satellite P20

Hi Everyone
Is it possible to install a HD-DVD drive on my P20?
My screen has died, so I'm going to use this machine as a dedicated Media Centre attached to my TV.
If I can install a HD-DVD drive it would help a lot.
Regards
Richard

Well, I dont believe that you will be able to use a new HD drive or blue ray drive on this notebook but who knows everything depends on the master / slave and c-sel settings.
Its possible to change such settings on external desktop drives by switching the jumper but something like that is not possible on slim line internal drivesusually the firmware controls this settings on notebooks drives.
It seems nobody tried upgrade the P20 with such drive that because this is a new technology and at this time you will not find many internal HD or Blue Ray drives on the market.
However, please come back and report if you have more info about the upgrade.

Re: Using DVD drive in iMac G4 for iMac G3 in Target Disk Mode-->won't read DVD

I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."

I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

Not without a player..
The AE is a dumb file server.. the hard disk you plug in is an even dumber hard disk.
There are no smarts in this setup.. not even DLNA. So the TV would have to be an extremely smart one to read raw files on a network drive.. none do that I know of.
A solution is WD live TV.. it can read files from just about any file source on network and play them to the TV.
Nothing apple makes will do that.. ATV is a streamer not a media player. Everything in the Apple world is tied up with itunes. So you must have a computer running itunes to use it.
You can download a more generic player for ipad, and put that as part of the network.. but you still need ATV to display the video.

IDVD6 and 3rd party DVD burners

I purchased iLife for the ability to burn to a 3rd party DVD burner with iDVD6. I can't for the life of me figure how to burn to the 3rd party burner. Please help.
imac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I'm suffering a similar problem with iDVD6 in OSX.3.9 on my G4 Dual 800. I've recently reported it earlier in another thread (below) which hasn't been answered. It takes many hours (aboukt six) to burn to a disk mage and appears OK but when I try to burn to a disk with either iDVD or Toast it fails. In the latter case with Toast I get a part burn, thus ensuring a spoilt disk ! On top of that, the burn indication line in the burn box is static and the spinning beach ball of death is ever present so I have to use Force Quit.
Clicking on the original saved prog from which iDVD has burned to a disk image I can get the FCP timeline with its full prog ....
I need the system in X.3.9 to be fully operational with iDVD6 so that my grandson can learn with it.
In the MacPro, with the same film content edited in FCP and similaly saved, I can get a complete burn with no hesitation, using a fraction of the time quoted above.
Completely bemused. I'd appreciate a solving of this one too which may be of help to the originator of this post as well as myself. Please !

Signal express record from 3rd party VI driver

Hi,
Highlight - Can I record data from a 3rd party VI driver in signal express?
Detail - I am tasked with developing a 'easy to use' data logging system for both voltage and temperature. Voltage will be logged via a NI cDAQ module, no problem here, temperature however will be logged from a LakeShore temperature controller, ie from a third party driver. My first thoughts were to use Signal express rather than coding my own GUI, obviously SE is easy to use for cDAQ Voltage modules.... but has it been crippled to prevent the use of VI drivers for third party kit?
Ideally I would like multiple series plotted and recorded by Signal Express, some from the cDAQ modules and some from one or more Lakeshore temperature controller and monitors, is this fundamentally possible in Signal Express? I can see that SE seems to have the ability to run labview VI's so I am hopefull!
I am using NI 2013 - full bells and whistles.
Cheers,
Chris

Hello wonderwizard,
Yes you can use a Plug & Play Instrument driver. Some examples have already been created and mentioned in this Knowledge Base Article.

Retina Display MBP - 3rd party optical drive

Hi,
I have just received my retina display macbook pro. I would like to view blu-ray movies on the retina display.
For this reason, I think it would be better to purchase a 3rd party bluray drive instead of the apple superdrive.
Is there any reason the apple superdrive would be preferable to a third party device? Maybe better integration with the OS?
Also, does anybody have any recommendations from these three drives:
Samsung SE-506AB
Asus SBW-06C2X-U
Sony BDX-S500U
Thanks in advance for any advice

Thanks RobotPi for your answer.
I am aware that I will need additional software to play Blu Ray movies.
I am however wondering if a third party drive will be euqally well integrated with Mac OS.
For example, with a non-apple optical drive, will I still be able to right click on a file and click "Burn .... to Disc"?
Will I be able to boot from a non-apple USB optical drive?
Does anybody know any reason why any one of the drives I mentioned is preferable to the other two?
Thanks again

Prevent shockwave player from trying to install 3rd party software?

I am a sysadmin for a relatively small-ish enterprise (around 50-ish PCs). We have scripts which push out shockwave player to all our systems but when a user loads a page which requires shockwave, they get a UAC prompt because the player is trying to install 3rd party software (usually Google Chrome browser). How do I stop this from happening? Is there a command line argument I can set (preferable method) or some other centrally-managed method for turning this off? Thanks in advance.
M

I guess I am not explaining myself very well.
I am currently using the EXE full installer from the distribution page. The installation works very well and I can get it to run in "silent" mode to avoid interaction with the user. Once the installation finishes, and I load a web page which requires Shockwave player, I get prompted at that point to download/install Chrome. That is the part I would like to know if it's possible to stop, because all our users are getting UAC prompts and it's always because Shockwave wants to run some installer after loading. I had hoped that going to the distribution version (as opposed to the straight download from the Adobe.com home page) would resolve this but they seem to be the same version, which makes me wonder why I bothered to sign up for it in the first place.

What's the standard way to install 3rd party classes?

Hello,
Let's say I install my SDK in c:\jdk1.3_02.
Could anyone tell me the standard way to install 3rd party classes or sources so that I can import them in my source codes please? Thank you so much!

most of the projects I've seem organize source, binaries etc. in the following directory structure:
lib - external libraries
src - the actual source code
conf - configuration files
dist - created distributables
let's say you have everything in the d:\projects\myproject directory.
-> compile with
javac -classpath d:\projects\myproject\src
-> run classes with
java -classpath d:\projects\myproject\src
