Questions about installing DVDR/CDR drive

I have a Powerbook G4 400 with a DVD/CD drive right now. I want to change it out for the Pioneer DVR-K05. I've been through several posts but can't find a clear answer about what I really need to install it. I was hoping to just pop out the old drive and install the new one. Can someone clarify some of these issues for me?
About the bracket ...
1) Do I need a special bracket or does the existing one work?
2) What happens if I install it without the bracket?
About the cable ...
1) Do I need a special cable or does the existing one work?
Thanks in advance

Hi MD,
From what I have read on eBay and here, a DVD ROM drive change to a RW drive requires a bracket. Not sure about the cable, possibly it too. The drive manufacturer may offer both with the sale of the drive. I have seen the option on Powerbook Medic (powerbookmedic.com) for their Superdrive option purchase.
Hope that helps.
Tom

  • Question about installing a SSD drive and how to clone

    Greetings,
    I have a 2007 white macbook w/ 80GB HD. I have been thinking about installing a 60 GB SSD drive from OWC as the price has come down tremendously and honestly just to see how it improves boot time, launch, applications etc. I don't keep much stuff on this macbook as it is purely a "browsing" computer but I was wondering how to best clone the hard drive to the new one?
    From what I understand, I use an application like Carbon copy cloner and backup "all data". Then, I turn the macbook over and follow the instructions for installing the new drive. Then, I guess I boot up and format the new drive with Snow Leopard.
    When do I actually tell the recently formatted computer to transfer the data from the backup clone? Do I do this during the opening migration screen? I know how to import data from another computer using Firewire and a cable, however, does the new SSD formatted computer understand how to boot from the carbon copy cloner backup without installing this software on the new drive?
    Cheers.

    Julie:
    I am no expert on SSDs. Here is how I would do it with a regular HDD. Note: You will need an external 2.5" enclosure.
    Clone Old HDD to new HDD using SuperDuper
    • Install new HDD in enclosure
    • Connect to the computer and boot from internal HDD.
    • Launch Disk Utility and format new HDD in enclosure (post for step by step directions, if needed)
    • Download and launch SuperDuper
    • In the Copy field select your internal HDD
    • To is your newly formatted HDD in enclosure
    • Using *backup all files*
    • Click Options button
    • Check *Repair Disk Permissions on Source*
    • During copy Erase Destination HDD then copy from Source
    • On successful completion Quit SuperDuper
    • Shut down computer and with external still connected
    • Option boot from external HDD to check clone.
    • If everything checks out, remove new HDD from enclosure and install in computer.
    • Install old HDD in enclosure (if desired)

  • Questions about installing a large internal hard drive

    Hello all,
    I recently bought a Seagate 250GB internal hard drive for my Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics). I intend to install it alongside my old 20GB drive. I have a couple of questions about installing it:
    • What kind of PCI card do I need in order to use the full capacity of the drive?
    • I'm considering partitioning the drive and installing Debian Linux on one partition. Is it possible that Debian won't recognize the PCI card?
    • Is it possible to connect (RAID?) the old and new drives together so that they appear as one big 270GB drive? Is this a good idea?
    • What is the easiest way to copy the contents of my old drive onto the new one? I'd like an exact copy so that I don't have to reinstall the system and everything else; can Carbon Copy Cloner do that?
    Thanks for any help and advice!
    Power Mac G4 - AGP graphics   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   768 MB RAM

    • What kind of PCI card do I need in order to use the
    full capacity of the drive?
    If the drive is an SATA drive you need an SATA controller. If an IDE/ATA drive you need an IDE controller.
    • I'm considering partitioning the drive and
    installing Debian Linux on one partition. Is it
    possible that Debian won't recognize the PCI card?
    You should check the Hardware Compatibility List for Debian against your potential mac compatible purchases. You might also get some good information from Yellow Dog Linux compatibility lists.
    • Is it possible to connect (RAID?) the old and new
    drives together so that they appear as one big 270GB
    drive? Is this a good idea?
    If you want to stripe the 2 dives together your overall performance will be slowed down by the slower of the two drives. For example, If you have one 5400rpm drive and another 7200rpm drive, the RAID will be bogged down by the slower drive so you wont get the full benefit of the lower latencies of the 7200. You will still get some of the faster transfer times, just not the lower latencies.
    Wether or not it's a good idea depends on your personal needs. Do you need a drive that can can move very large files to and from memory quickly (bandwidth) or a drive that can locate and serve up the files quickly (latency)?
    • What is the easiest way to copy the contents of my
    old drive onto the new one? I'd like an exact copy
    so that I don't have to reinstall the system and
    everything else; can Carbon Copy Cloner do that?
    CCC should work fine for you. You could also use the command line asr utility.

  • Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

    Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
    Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive.  It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive.  My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
    Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine.  But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
    ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
    Thanks for any insights.
    I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

    The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
    Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
    It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

    John,
    I'm not sure why you posted in the iMac forum so I'm going to attempt to get you to the correct spot. I would recommend reposting in the Time Machine Forum, this is part of the OS X forums (Leopard or Snow Leopard) because you are using Snow Leopard (your profile indicates you are) please click Apple Support Communities and type Snow Leopard. Then you can narrow the search down by clicking Refine this List.

  • Questions about Installing EBS R12 continued

    Folks,
    Hello. This post is the continue for previous post "Questions about Installing EBS R12".
    While installing EBS R12 using "./rapidwiz", the Install Wizard gets to "CD Locator - Select root directory of required Rapid Install Disk. Enter location for the disk labeled. Oracle Applications Rapid Install - Database Disk 1"
    I browse the directory where Database Disk 1 is located (file name: V15680-01_1of3/oraAPPDB/Disk1). Then click "OK" button, CD Locator Windows come up again and again. The Install Wizard doesn't proceed !
    The above issue means some files in stage area directory are corrupted. Thus, I have deleted the stage area directory (zip files and unzipped files) and try to download a fresh EBS R12 from Oracle Edelivery to install again.
    Now, the problem is that when I empty trash (EBS_R12) in Oracle Linux 5, the 3 files (V15680-01_1of3.zip, oraAppDB, oraDB) cannot be deleted from the trash, the error message is:
    "You don't have permission to modify its parent folder."
    The file V15680-01_1of3.zip is Rapid Install Database Disk 1 on which the install Wizard stop while installing EBS R12.
    Can any folks help to solve the issue on file "V15680-01_1of3.zip" ?
    that is, how to empty it from Trash ? How to have the Wizard go through it when install again ?

    Please update the original thread instead of creating new one -- Re: Questions about Installing EBS R12

  • Question about installing drivers on Vi

    Hey,?Within the next couple of weeks, I intend to purchase a?X-Fi Fatalty FPS card. I know the Vista drivers aren't up to scratch at the moment, but I'm in no rush to upgrade to Vista, although I have access to the RTM through TechNet. As soon as all drivers are of a good standard then I'll upgrade - until then I'd stick with XP which works great. My question is this, If I buy this card it'll ship with a driver CD. I'll need to install the drivers/creative applications from this CD and then update them from the website. The drivers on the disc will be for Windows XP, and not compatible with Vista. When I format the dri've and install Vista, how do I go about installing the Creative Vista drivers. The downloadable ones from the website require the main CD drivers to be installed, which I won't be able to install as they're for XP. Hope that makes sense. Thanks.

    Ooh, perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick then. Im basing this on my experience with an old Creative Audigy card I had years ago, but If memory serves me correctly it was actually an OEM card. So what you're saying is, when I receive my X-Fi, I can not use the CD and straight away download the latest drivers/apps from the creative website and install them without needing to run the CD through first?Thanks for your reply.

  • Question about using a SATA drive through an Epress34 card???

    I have a basic question about OSX and how it treats a SATA drive hung from an Express34 SATA card. So OSX just treats any drive as a mounted drive as far as I know bbut what about when booting...
    If, at boot up, I use the 'cmd C' option to select an external SATA dirve hanging off of an Express34 SATA card, will OSX see that drive as if it just were the internal drive in the MBP or is there some inherant difference between the real internal drive and any other SATA drive?
    I guess the question is... does the cmd C option really just tell the OS to treat this drive as though it were the interal drive and boot from it (assuming the drive is bootable of course) or is ot doing something else.
    If that is the case, why can't I use an external drive and install BootCamp on it, assumiong that I booted from this drive?
    Is there a difference between an external SATA drive from an Express34 card and an external firewire drive?
    TIA,
    Peter

  • Yet another question about installing ilife 06 with limited drive space

    I received iLife 2006 as a gift for my birthday. I am a happy user of most the iLife 2005 programs (except iDVD, which is useless on my machine with only a Combo drive). I am interested in making use of iWeb and the other improved features of iLife 2006.
    My problem is that my 40 GB drive is nearly full, with about 2 GB free. Of this, my iTunes library uses about 15 GB, and the IPhoto library takes another 2 GB or so. I do have a 60 GB iPod with about 25 GB free.
    I have read about complications with restoring the iTunes Library from the hidden folder on the iPod. But I wonder if the library could be more easily backed up to the iPod, temporarily deleted from my main hard drive, then restored after installing iLife 2006 (I have read that somewhat less than the full 10 GB is needed after install is complete).
    Alternatively, will the iLife 2006 installer allow me to install to the iPod as an external drive, from which I can make adjustments as needed?

    You can tell your wife that if you don't get an external hard drive to store your iTunes and iPhoto Library you are a prime target to lose your images and tunes.
    Yes, using iWeb you get a new url. I used Contribute to do the fiveafertfive.com site for my daughter's band.
    iWeb can create very nice pages and you can see many of them by visiting this link on the iWeb forums. It's eight pages long and lots of sites to look at.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1705138#1705138
    Unfortunatley, the ability to send albums directly to .mac is no more with iPhoto 6. You can only send them to iWeb to make your page. Then in iWeb you publish your page to your idisk in a different folder.

  • Newbie Questions About Installing Windows with Boot Camp

    Karen

    Hi Karen and welcome to Discussions,
    The only reason I want to use Windows is to be able to download games from the internet that are not made for Mac only for PC and I have a few questions:
    1. Doing all this installation will anything made for PC work?
    Nearly anything. There are some Windows programs using hardware dongles that don't run.
    2. I only have Windows XP will that work? And then do all the SP updates after it's installed?
    You need a Windows XP CD with at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) incorporated.
    3. If I have to use Windows XP SP2 is this one a good one to buy?
    http://www.cdsfu.com/index.php?categoryID=87
    another user round here had already asked about that website.
    Three things about this offer are, at least to me, very suspicious:
    "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition With SP2, Full Version on CDR"
    Microsoft never has used CD-R disc (CD-Recordable) for Windows
    "software that does NOT include any COA label or a sticker from the manufacturer"
    There always has to be a sticker, that one puts on the computer on which the Windows license is installed and a COA label as well.
    "VOLUME LICENSE INCLUDED"
    A volume license, from my understanding, was only sold to companys, who install Windows on a larger scale (hundreds of computers) and for that purpose are given only one license-key for all installations.
    Usually this is known as a'corporate license'.
    All in all, I would personally stay away from this offer. It simply doesn't sound legal to me.
    4. After everything is installed do I have to use an anti-virus?
    When running Windows a decent Anti-Virus software is a must.
    I want to thank you for your help as you can see I really am a newbie.
    You're welcome anytime. Hope it helps.

  • Questions about using an external drive as my main drive

    This topic has been addressed in discussion threads before, but I'm in search of a few details.
    I have a Mac mini 1.42 combo, 512 mb RAM, with an external 250 gb MiniStack FW drive. The external FW drive spins at 7200 rpm, while the internal drive in the mini is a 4200 rpm model. Because of the higher disk speed, I'm considering making my external FW drive my main drive, then reformatting my mini's internal drive to use for backup purposes only. My backups to the mini's internal drive would be bootable, so I wouldn't have to have Tiger installed on the mini's internal drive.
    Additionally, I've got my iTunes library on another partition on the same external FW drive. I'm really happy with the result of that move so far.
    I've experimented a bit already. I've used SuperDuper to clone my mini's drive to a different partition on the external FW drive, and confirmed that I can boot from it using the external FW drive as my startup disk, so that's not an issue.
    I'm planning to move over to the external FW drive and use that as my startup disk and main drive, but keep the mini's external drive as is for a while before I reformat it and use it strictly for backups. I've got some questions before I commit to this, though. (shudder!)
    *Updates for applications and Tiger-If I continue to use Apple's Software Update to conduct my software upgrades, will it automatically update the applications on my external FW drive? I'm assuming that Software Update identifies the boot drive and the app's location before performing the update. I'm concerned that Software Update will become confused once it can't identify my mini's internal drive as the 'main' disk, and will lose the functionality to handle my updates.
    *Default drives for other applications-For those of you that have already moved to an external disk as your main drive, did you have to change preferences in other apps (like the MS Office Suite) to tell them where to look for files and save new docs/save updated docs? I use Office a lot for a part-time job, and it would be a pain to have to manually update all that info.
    *iTunes-As I've already stated, I've moved my iTunes music library over to a partition on my external FW drive and it's worked well so far. What concerns me is the funky way that Apple requires the iTunes management files and folders be on your main drive in your Home folder, but allows the music files to reside on a different disk. When iTunes needs to update itself, or manage the music library, is it going to be happy working from the home folder on the external disk, or will I have problems? In other words, as long as the iTunes management files are on my boot drive, am I OK?
    Thanks for wading through this wordy post. If I decide to make the plunge, I'll report back to the list. I'm sure a bunch of mini owners are considering the move to external drives to boost performance. I love the machine, but I can always use more speed!
    Mac Mini 1.42   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   MiniStack 250 GB + Hub

    No problem what so ever. I am not certain you will gain anything by it, though.

  • Questions about iomega external hard drive.

    Hi guys, I own an iomega 1TB external hard drive. Till now I've been happy with it despite its fan tends to be noisy, but I'm facing a lack of space issue. Elgato's EyeTV pretty much took up most of it. Rather than buying a second hard drive I was thinking on replacing its internal disks. I opened it up and saw two 500GB with a connector I had never seen before. My question here is, if I bought two 1TB disks with the same connectors, could I just swap them? Would they work? Said new disks actually would come from a Sun's storage rack. Are disks compatible? I mean, would I be able to re-format it/them to be used with Leopard easily (like using the Disk Utility)? Would the iomega box recognize them and be able to handle them?
    Once all above's sorted, I'll just have to worry about the data migration, which isn't any simpler at all. I know no-one who owns any storage solution that I could borrow to temporarily store all the data. And if go to anyone they might not have Mac-formatted disks.
    Sorry if you think this post shouldn't be here. iomega won't help at all and I believe this Mac brotherhood can enlighten me through this odyssey.
    If you need more info from both current and new disks I can email you pictures of the labels of both. Email me directly at [email protected]
    Thanks in advance.
    George...

    All the commands remain grayed out when I click on various partitions. Maybe it's because I'm actually booted up on my external hard drive. I deleted several GB of files from my internal hard drive, but it still won't boot up. So it looks like I have a technical problem, and I'll have to visit my local Apple store. After I get it fixed, I'll take another look at re-partitioning my external hard drive.
    Thanks.

  • Questions about Installing Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on Mac Pro

    Hi, I have an early 2009 Quad Core Mac Pro which is running Snow Leopard. I have 4 internal drives in my Mac Pro. Does WIndows 7 have to be installed on the same drive I have Snow Leopard installed or can it be on any of my drives. My boot drive has 215 gb of free space. 2 of them have 100gb of free space and my 2 tb drive has 40 gb of free space. To install Windows 7, do I have to partition one of my drives which would mean erasing all my data? How much free space do I need for windows 7 and programs, etc? Would Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit work? Any info is greatly appreciated

    Read the link ""The hatter"" gave you and read the "FAQ's", it will answer quite a few of your questions. Read the Installation manual a few times to familiarize yourself with it before you start and it will make it a lot easier when the time comes.
    Windows will be little bit quicker on the Mac-Boot disk only because of your SSD drive. It's rare, but you leave yourself open for problems if anything gets buggered up with both OS's on the same drive. You could lose the Mac side also. You have the chance to save yourself one less problem with it being on a separate drive.
    You can install Windows on "any" INternal drive with Boot Camp. Windows can only be installed in the #1 slot on a MacPro if there are any other drives in it. (You can put it in any slot after it's been installed.) And Windows can't be installed on an EXternal drive from a Mac.
    Your best bet would be either put one of the internal drives into an external HD enclosure ($15/$20) and replacing it with another blank HD and just splitting it into two partitions or try to free up more space on one of the other drives so you have more room.
    Or like ""The hatter""mentioned.
    """You could put OS X HD in lower optical drive bay and put in a drive just for Windows."""
    The only problem with making room on an already full drive is that some times some invisible "root" files will be left behind and Boot Camp CAN'T move it and you could get a generic "Can't Install, Files in the way" type error. So you would have to Backup, erase, reinstall to clean it up that way.
    It's not so much installing Windows without Boot Camp, but you need BootCamp in order to use the "Start-up Disk" preferences. The Finder can't see the Windows install with out it. No big deal if you want to use the "Option" Key every time to reboot. Boot Camp Also has a couple of preferences like the F-Keys, etc, that you may need to use. It Could be a bigger headache. Boot Camp just makes it A LOT easier for the -non- geeks.

  • Question about clearing the main drive

    Not quite sure if this is even possible (I'm not the greatest with computers) but I'm interested in just cleaning up my hard drive. I've had the computer for a year and just want to get rid of some of the programs I'm not using in order to improve the processor speed, etc.. I know just dragging stuff to the trash doesn't completely clear it, what is the best way about going through my Mac and clearing off old files and programs.

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

  • Question about installing/uninstalling if useless...

    In my Add/Remove panel I have the following listed:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
    Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6
    I downloaded JDK 1.6.0 so I could compile and interpret while I learn Java from "Learn Java in 21 days."
    My question is: Do I need to have the J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4 and 6 in my add/remove panel? Can or should these be removed since I installed JDK1.6.0?

    The book (pdf) is from '96 so I think it's outdated.
    I tried compiling code from day 2 and it didn't work.
    The code from day 1 did though. Yes, Windows XP,
    although I have a dualboot wtih Mandrake 10.
    I'm a little confused about the J2SE and JDK. Are
    they the same thing, as in JDK1.5.0 = J2SE5? I
    downloaded JDK1.6.0 and while installing it, it said
    "Java 2 Platform Standard Edition"
    I'll revert back to JDK5 in a bit. Thanks.The J2SE = Java 2 Standard Edition.
    JDK 1.5.0 ~ 1.5.6 is still J2SE
    I believe the next version JDK 1.6 is still considered J2SE. Usually the version numbers are Major.Minor.Revision format. I am guessing that if the next JDK was version 2.0.1 then the platform would be J3SE. Just a quess though.
    Also, all the names are subject to change per the Marketing department at Sun.
