Pioneer DVR-112 not working

Hi guys
i've recently ask in the forum for expanding my G5 and G4, because the DVD-RW stop working on both. I've bought a Pioneer DVR-112 and install it on the G4 (under panther). Startup the mac and it was there on the system profiler, but when i'd tryed to open the tray, it couldn't go out because it was getting jammed bye the mac tower (some plastic thinggis around the drive hole), so i've notice that the previous DVD-RW didn't had the front part on the drive that says DVD-RW and all the stuff. So, shutdown the mac and removed the drive to see what it can be done. Installed again and now the mac don't recognize the drive.
What can i do to fix this?.
Thanks!!

Hi-
The tray cover, and the face bezel, are both just clipped on. Carefully extend the tray, and the tray cover should be remove-able by releasing one side (top or bottom, I forget) first.
The PRAM and PMU will not affect any files. There are certain settings that will need to be reset (time, date, startup disk preference, etc.), but there is no ill effect to the stored data.

Pioneer DVR-105 Not Working In Quicksilver...Any Ideas?

i just bought a dvr-105 on ebay. i installed it, and it's recognized in the system profiler, and it ejects and i can put a disc in there...but then the disc is never recognized. i try different discs, and dvds and cds...but it never spins up and acknowledges the disc.
i have it set to "master" on the jumpers, and the firmware is version 1.33, which seems to be the newest one. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I checked out your link to Pioneer. I see that v 1.33 is listed as a Windows firmware version and v 1.30 is for Mac, so I would start there.
I believe some devices require that you boot into OS9 in order to install the Mac firmware, however, the firmware update itself is not OS dependent. You will need at least an OS 9.2.1 boot CD or drive partition, or it can boot to OS 9.2.0 if it is the original QS G4 disk.
I was using my QS G4 exclusively under OS 9.2.2 when I had first used the DVR-105 drive, but I had no problems when I later upgraded the OS to 10.3.5.
I have since moved the drive to my back-up B& W G3, but I have never experienced any problems.

Remote DVR will not work?

I signed up for FIOS when it first came to my area. Verizon installed a basic Netgear router. I since upgraded to a wireless Netgear router about 4 years ago. We just upgraded our DVR to a Home Media and tried to turn on the remote DVR. But when I go to the web site it says remote DVR will not work without original Verizon router. I don't understand why it won't work. Is there a setting or something in the router to make it work or do I need a different router that Verizon has to provide? I am guessing the original router I had wouldn't work either because it is the same brand as the one I have now.

Called and got a Westell router today. Got it all hooked up and internet and TV are working fine but I still can't activate remote DVR. The DVR has an access code listed, tells me to go to the website and sign in with my verizon.net id. I do and I still get the error remote DVR not possible with third party router. Any more help?

Beige G3 AIO with Pioneer DVR-110D not booting OS X 10.2 retail install CD

for some reason my Pioneer DVR-110D wont boot the 10.2 retail install cd's i have it will boot the OS 9.2.1 retail install cd's just fine. the only way i can boot the OS X install cd's is if i hold the command-control-power key's for 5 second's after the normal attempt to boot the cd normaly.
but during the file copying during the install it stall's out. the only way i can install OS X is if i put the orignal 24x cd-rom drive and then it will boot normaly and install normaly.
the same goes with trying to install tiger useing Xpostfacto4 but it will boot into the installer with no problem but durring the install the Pioneer will stall and will go no further during the copy prosses i can however install useing the orignal cd-rom drive
but after i get tiger installed i cant mount any disk's with either the normal cd-rom or the pioneer DVR-110D and the same goes with my other AIO i have. I dont have the disk mounting problem in OS X 10.2 or 10.2.8.
also i figured out why i was having a wake up freeze in OS 9.2.2 with the Pioneer DVR-110D there is a extention conflict happening some where with the apple cd/dvd driver extention. i disables the apple cd/dvd driver extention and rebooted amd put the system to sleep and it woke up fine but it wouldent mount any disk's cause of the extention being disabled so i rebooted and back to the wakeup freeze.
the only way to get around the wakup freeze i was having in OS 9.2.2 is to open the energy saver window and set the hdd to never fall asleep and have the monitor the only thing that sleep's and let the system idle to sleep.
sorry for the long post guy's/and gal's

From what I've read, many beiges had problems booting the 10.2 installer. I didn't have any problems booting 10.2 installer with this drive and it installed perfectly fine. However, after it installed, I couldn't actually boot into the OS, I got as far as the gray screen and it stopped and wouldn't go any further. I could boot the 10.4.3 disc as well, but as you said, the installation always stalled at "installing base system" and would go no further. I installed it by pulling my HD and hooking it up in my dad's G4, then brought it back to my computer. That worked great and 10.4.3 ran wonderfully. I just last night upgraded to 10.4.4 and it is snappy as well, however, I still have the problem with the DVR-110D. My drive will not copy large files (over 5MB) from a disc to the HD. I can mount discs and read them, but after a bit of time, it stops working entirely and won't mount discs at all. I have not tried the beta version of xpostfacto, I thought I had that version until I checked it just now. Perhaps a trip to the site to download the beta is in order. Also, the drive works great under 9.2.2, just as yours does, so I know it is not a drive error and has to be something with the Beige G3 architecture and Tiger, something is not communicating correctly. I've posed the question previously (which wasn't answered yet) about whether or not an 80 wire ATA cable would make a difference? Perhaps the 66mhz bus speed is not sufficient to have info flow from the drive to the HD? I don't know and I'm getting frustrated because I know this is a good drive! Hope we can figure it out!

DVD/DVR does not work after 10.4.7 upgrade

Hi!
After updating to 10.4.7. The PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-105 does not work !!!
It won't recognize, spin, or eject discs automatically. It does let me insert and eject discs manually, and that's it.
I'm sure it's due to the upgrade and not becasue the drive went bad or something.
Any clues what to do?
(Is it possible to go BACK at the previous upgrade when such things happen?)
Thank You!
Dual 1.25 G4, 10.4.7 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

You're not alone, a lot of folks are experiencing this bull, myself included. If only there was an easy way to reinstall 10.4.5.

Multiroom DVR does not work as expected.

Short description of my problem:
I can't use the multiroom DVR with the SD receiver I was sent nor another DVR. This leaves me only one option, an HD receiver which costs me more per month but does not give me any other added benefits.
Long description:
I recently ordered FIOS TV. I was drawn in by the multiroom DVR. I was a DirecTV customer for over 7 years and never had a problem with them (never lost signal in a storm either...). I got an ad that said I could get a free multiroom DVR, which is $19 a month, free for life. With my DirecTV setup, I had a DVR connected to both TVs in my house. I thought it might be nice to watch a recorded show at either one instead of having to watch it on the DVR it was recorded on.
After a frustrating experience with tech support, I finally had my multiroom DVR and standard set top box activated. I recorded something on the DVR and went upstairs to try and watch it. To my surprise, I found out that I could not. I had recorded it in HD and the receiver that had been supplied to me was an SD receiver. At this point I found it stupid that if I wanted to be able to watch a show at both locations, I either had to record it in SD, which looks like crap on an HDTV, or record it in both HD and SD which would use up both of my recording channels for one show. I know that I can upgrade to a HD receiver and watch it on both sets, but if I am going to pay more (just to make something work that was supposed to work for "free"), I might as well pay a little bit extra and get another DVR. I really liked being able to pause and rewind live TV at both locations.
I called sales to place an order for another DVR. Surprise again, a multiroom DVR will not stream to another DVR. So my only option is to have an HD receiver if I want to be able to use the multiroom DVR and not lose functionality. As a result, I have lost 2 channels of recording because I have one less DVR than I used to, and I can no longer pause live TV at one of my TVs. I don't think that is worth the $10 ($19 - $8 for an HD receiver) a month.
Solved!

Justin,
Thank you for the reply. I am in western PA but can't check my DVR for the version until I get home.
Can you please elaborate what you mean by "and as an aside, if you have QIP6416 DVRs and/or the QIP2500 SD STB, you will not be happy with 1.9 on any of those boxes." I'm not sure what kind of receivers I have off hand.
If I can get two DVRs to work with each other I would be ecstatic!!! Thanks again for the info.
You obviously have internet access, you can't use the internet to view what STBs you have in your account? If you do that, it will show you the model numbers of each of your STBs.
But anyway, the 6xxx boxes are the old original STBs that Verizon delivered for FiOS TV starting 6 years ago. They worked fine with all levels of the IMG up through 1.8 (I had one for 5 1/2 years, got rid of it earlier this year, replaced it with a 7232). With the new 1.9 level, the 6xxx and 2500 boxes perform very poorly, they just do not have the processor, graphics processor, memory (and for the 6xxx boxes, an eSATA port) to support the new HD graphics and things like an external hard drive. So your Guide will still be SD, it will be somewhat hard to read, the boxes will be slow, slow, slow, etc.
As I said, two DVRs most certainly can work together with 1.9. That feature is called Multi-Hub, it is free, just needs to be turned on on the DVRs. Allows you to access, schedule, and delete recordings on either DVR from other STBs as well as the DVRs themselves.
A simple way to tell if you already have 1.9 is to look at the Guide and if it has the light blue/gray background it is 1.9.
If you still have the two DVRs but not yet 1.9, I suggest you just keep them (unless they are 6xxx boxes), the new support should be available to you soon.
Edit: Just had a thought, I know Verizon also uses Cisco STBs in some areas. I have no idea whether they do where you are, but it is possible that that is what you have. If so, I think they have an older version of 1.9 that does not yet support some of the features that the 1.9 for Motorola boxes has. Not sure which features.....

Pioneer DEH-800BT not working after iOS4 "error 11"

My Pioneer car stereo will no longer recognise my iPhone - only get "Error 11" on the head unit display since my iOS4 update. Anyone else got same problem ? Do Apple or Pioneer have a fix ?

I'm experiencing the same problem on my Pioneer DEH-3200UB. Worked fine prior to the update (all controls on my steering wheel as well) now when I plug my upgraded iOS4 3Gs iPhone into the deck, I get an Error-11. I did speak with Pioneer regarding this issue and they said it was a problem that had to be fixed by Apple. I spoke with Apple support right after speaking with Pioneer and Apple support stated that they can't support every device out there, but they may have a fix for it, or may not, in the future.
Apple support continued to say that I should post feedback on the iPhone support section of the website as the engineers do read those. I urge everyone that has this issue to post feedback on the compatibility section of the iPhone support site to draw attention to this so it gets addressed quickly.
I asked the Apple support rep if there was a way to revert back and was told "No" that Apple does not support going backwards and has removed all the old OS software from their site so it can't be done ... <pause> .. by Apple. He did say that there was "sites on the Internet" that have instructions and ways to go back to the old software and continued to state that it would not violate the terms of my agreement. We'll see about that when I bring my brick into the Apple store and ask for a new phone.
Apple is responsible to fix this problem or provide a work-around, even if it is a way to revert back to the old software. There is nothing in iOS 4 that I can't live without, and it really comes down to the point that there is nothing on a iPhone that I can't live without.
I'm not going to replace my car audio deck every time Apple puts out an update - I'll replace my phone.
Call support and post feedback. It's the only way to get it fixed. In the meantime I'm researching Android/Pioneer compatibility.

Can't get Pioneer DVR-110D to work

I just bought a Pioneer DVR-110D drive and installed it, but I can't get it to support burning. I tried PatchBurn 1 (I use OS 10.2.8) but to no avail. I searched this forum for posts on both PatchBurn and the drive, and I've been doing everything as detailed in the posts, but the system profiler still says burning isn't supported.
It reads CDs fine, and DVDs show up on the desktop (I don't have DVD playing software, though). It even erased a CD-RW.
In PatchBurn, there's 7 different Pioneer drivers listed, do I have to try replacing every one?

"In PatchBurn, there's 7 different Pioneer drivers listed, do I have to try replacing every one?"
In PatchBurn 1, try selecting the closest model number of Pioneer DVR drive from the list (if I remember, DVR-104). After it's unstalled, restart.
If that didn't seem to work, try a PRAM reset.

Multi room DVR is not working in the other rooms

I have a multi room DVR box in the living room and 3 standard boxes in the other rooms. I used to could be able to watch my recorded shows in all rooms but now I am not able to. I am only able to watch it in the living room. This was the main reason why I got the multi room DVR plan was to have the luxury watching in other rooms. Can someone please assist?

Mic for Pioneer DEH-6500BT not working...

Just had this installed at bestbuy and everything works great except when using the bluetooth calling feature the person on the other end gets an annoying feed back noise. Is there something I can check before taking it all the way back to Bestbuy? or is the mic just faulty?

its not the background noise that is making it hard for other people to hear you it is the microphone quality and the cars noise and road noise combined. you will probably not be able to do anything to help your situation except maybe move the microphone a little closer to your person, even then you are probably always goign to get a little feedback. I just went through and dynamated my whole vehicle to eliminate road noise and get better clarity out of my new speakers.
only then did my microphone actually started sounding much clearer on the other end, but that is a very expensive route (thousands to be a little clearer). so basically it is a combination that is fighting against you. I have a kenwood 719 in dash dvd player not pioneer so not a brand problem it is the way that they are making cars and the quality of the microphones. good luck!
I am a CAR Geek Squad installer tech lead, but my views that i post are my own and not that of best buy. if you like my posts give me some kudos, if you need further help contact your local Geek Squad installation bay!
Please read my posts with a smile, cause thats how I write them.Although i have a cool avatar by my name, I am just a member of the community that works for Best Buy.

DVR Manager not working

I have been told by different Comcast employees that (1) the DVR Manager won't work with my box, that (2) it should work with my box, and (3) that the problem is that I have only the economy Digital Starter Plan. My box (DCX 3400) is not on the list of incompatible boxes. Does anyone know the answer? I am at my wits end.

Are you referring to the WEB DVR programming or from an app? If you still need help please post the error message you are getting.

Online DVR scheduling not working

Has anyone had any success using the Verizon mobile website or the regular desktop website to schedule programs to record on your DVR? I've tried a numerous times on different occasions and there is always an error.
At this point I'm wondering why the option is even on the website.

This is a common issue. Call tech support or open a chat session and tell them that when you try to use the website to schedule a DVR program that it gives you an error and tell them the error. They'll access your router and tweak a few port forwarding settings which will enable it to work properly (the settings for some reason don't automatically appear or get out of sync with the addresses actually assigned to the DVR and when that happens the scheduler doesn't work). This most often happens the first time you try to use the service or after an extended power outage.
Fortunately it only takes them a few minutes of online chat to sort it out.
I just went thru this a week or so ago when I added a second DVR -- it was inaccessible from the website until I called and had them fix the router settings.

Guide and dvr suddenly not working

The last few days the guide and dvr haven't been displaying. Pushing either guide or dvr will only make the current channel display in the upper right corner and the rest of the screen is black. Any idea how to fix this?

Hello lilstar...sorry to hear of your tv issues, if you can send me a private message with the serial # of the box, it's located on the bottom of the box, we can do some trouble shooting on the box. The serial # starts with an "M"

My DVR security sofware that I access remotely uses a "dvr .ocx" file....when I try it in Firefox , either the latest non beta (3.6.1.5) or the new beta version (4.0 rc) it will NOT work as it says the plugin is missing... it works in IE 8,but not IE9...

My machine is Top of the range (my Company builds them so it had better be :) )
Amd 1100t , 8gb ram , Windows 7 64 bit etc, etc...
The is not a hardware problem , but a software problem with FF...Any help would be appreciated as I hate using IE 8 for anything at all :( but I have to keep it on my machines just to run my remote security cameras at my Computer shop ???
Original question...as question length is limited ...not very bright that limit by the way :(

All the best, Brett :)

The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.
