Read this if you want to replace your CD/DVD

The best replacement is the Pioneer DVR-110blk (the blk stand for black), it writes 56x CD-R, CDRW, DVD-R, 16x DVD+R, 16x Dual Layer & DVD-RAM.
It is recognised by OSX 10.4 & works best using the latest Roxio Toast ( it also recognised by itunes & can be used in iDVD using a small program called patchburn - http://www.patchburn.de/ )
To install the drives use this guide:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMacg4/imacg4takeapart.html
The reason I recommend this drive is that it is very reliable & fast - I have burnt DVD's (2gb-4gb) in 2-4 minutes. It is also quite easy to make it region free by using a program called DVRFlash & new region free firmware - discussion & downloads can be found here:
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewforum.php?f=30
So for about £35 (www.dabs.com) you do truly get a Superdrive.
PS You need a Philips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver & Thermal Grease!

Hey PROvider,
What is the difference in the DVR-110D, and the DVR-110 ? Isn't the DVR-110DBK the same as the DVR-110D except its black and not beige?
Also, on this site: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/optical-drives/superdrives/powermac/
It lists the DVR-110D & DVR-110DBK as writing 40X CD, 16X DVD, and 8X DVD-DL. You mentioned 56X CD and 16X DVD & DVD-DL.
Is the DVR-110BK (the one you mentioned) different than the DVR-110DBK and why do you recommend the black over the beige?
Thanks,
Tyler

    This is normal an also the same with other phone brands and OS. Even on android and IOS the call volume is different from the general volume of the phone. If you have a non-lumia nokia phone, it is also the same.

  • ITunes broke. Read this if you want a troubleshooting challenge.

    First iTunes edited my track numbers on random songs. For example, track 1 of 12. iTunes edited it to be 1 out of "blank". Not 1 of 12. Next iTunes would not play a few albums. So I removed the unplayable albums and tried to re-add them. Well iTunes is broke because nothing happens when I try to re-add the album. Nothing. It won't add. I downloaded Zune and it adds the album just fine. So. If I add salt to my food the salt isn't added? Where is the logic here? Help please.

    I agree with turingtest2 to take a first look at WMP.
    About 800 of my files were wretchedly changed with that track "x of y" with the y becoming blank. Also a lot of Album Artist and Composer field were nicely updated without my approval, thanks not alot.
    It happened around the time I upgraded WMP. I forget now why I upgraded - I had been resistant.
    There are now TWO default places that tell WMP to automatically update files from the internet:
    library tab
    privacy tab
    I am still not 100% sure that WMP caused it. But it did seem to happen on random days that I went into WMP to check something ( not exactly sure of the dates but it was like 200 files got whacked one day in early July, another 300 files got whacked later in July, etc), and it happened to random files that I hadn't +touched or played in itunes for years+.
    I also cleared out my WMP library, turned off the option to have itunes organize my files, and it has not been seen since.

    Every time I open iTunes on my PC, even without my phone plugged in,  I get a message of "A newer version of "(app name)" already exists in your iTunes library, are you sure you want to replace it?"
    How can I get this to stop? It just started happening in the past 2 days, never happened before that.
    Help!!! I need to turn this off somehow?!?!?!?

  • Where has 'do you want to replace this file' gone when copying items in lion?

    Hello, can anyone tell me if I can still have the option when copying items from one folder to another to be asked ' do you want to replace this file' instead of only having the new options to: stop / keep both / or replace all?  thanks for your help.

    If you don't mind losing them, it's all right to do it.
    Maybe you just want to delete them instead?
    Or do you mean you want to replace the faulty one in your Projects folder with a correct one from your Applications folder?
    Is this the Application you're talking about moving?

    I just replaced my hard drive and restored everything from Time machine. However, I am unable to open iphoto and the following message appears Your photo library was not found. Do you want to find your iPhoto Library?
    Where do I find this library?
    thanks
    Shak

    Twas quite a hassle if I am honest which was eventually resolved but I don't feel qualified to help anyone through the process as it required a trip to my local apple store and a genius bar appointment.
    Personally, I would do anything like moving pictures out of folders etc. Certainly not creating a new users. i don't think that is an elegant solution
    Try the following which MAY just about rescue the situation for you but if they don't work you may have to do something more drastic.
    (1) Holding down Cmd & Alt at the same time, start iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon. From the resulting menu choose Rebuild photo library by selecting all available options given to you and then pressing REBUILD!
    If that doesn't work
    (2) Fire up Utilities. Go to migration assistant. Chose 'From another Time machine back-up'. Open the 'Users' option that comes up next and from there select Pictures, then uncheck everything else like Applications etc (you don't want to do a full migration of everything) and click go.
    If that doesn't work, take a deep breath and this step is rather complicated but it worked for me. First of all close iPhoto! Then go to new Finder window.
    From the Finder window choose Pictures, then iPhoto library, press CMD and the letter i. It brings up a new window. Go to Sharing & permissions. From there select the padlock to unlock settings. and then select User account, then press the 'cog' icon next to +/- abd choose Apply to enclosed items.
    This may take a while. Once completed, re-open iPhoto.
    And that should (I stress should) cure it.
    Good luck.

  • A newer version of app "5-0 Radio" exists in your iTunes library. Are you sure you want to replace it with the one you are moving?

    When I connect my iPad or iPod to my compuer running iTunes I get the following message for most of the apps.  "A newer version of app "5-0 Radio" exists in your iTunes library. Are you sure you want to replace it with the one you are moving?" 
    How can I fix this?
    Many thanks

    There is nothing to fix, let it update.

  • Dont read this if you dont want to make money

    MAKE LOTS OF MONEY QUICKLY, GUARANTEED 100%, NO SCAM!
    Turn 6.00 into 42,000! This is true!!.... Read this carefully to find out how!!....
    READING THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
    I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing
    through newsgroups, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands
    of cash within weeks with only an initial investment of .00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this<br />
    must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading.
    Before you get skeptical, just take a few minutes to finish reading.
    HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
    WITH THIS PLAN, YOU REALLY CAN MAKE TONS OF TOTALLY LEGAL, FAST AND EASY CASH MONEY!! IT WORKS!!!
    BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT CAREFULLY FOR IT TO WORK CORRECTLY AND IN YOUR FAVOR!!!! WITH ALL
    THE MONEY YOU ARE GONNA MAKE, YOU WILL SOON GET EVERYTHING YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF!!!!
    ALL YOU DO IS...
    All you do is send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then
    place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at
    least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands.) No catch, that was it . So after thinking it over,
    and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, what have I got to
    lose except 6 stamps and 6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little
    worried about the legal aspects of it
    all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that
    it is indeed legal!
    AND THEN GUESS WHAT...
    Then I invested the measly 6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!!... Within 7 days, I started getting money
    just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about 25. By the end of the second week I had
    made a total of over 1,000! In the third week I had over 10,000 and it's still growing. This
    is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over 42000, and it's still coming in
    rapidly. It's certainly worth 6. and 6 stamps. By the way, I have spent more than that on the
    lottery in the last month!! Let me tell
    you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... also, make sure you print a copy of
    this article NOW, So you can get the information off of it, as you need it.
    SO LET'S GET STARTED AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
    STEP 1:
    Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on eash piece of paper, "PLEASE PUT MY<br />
    NAME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Also, be sure to include your name and address. Now, get 6 U.S.
    $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen
    through the envelope, to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes
    and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the
    above phrase, your name and address email
    , and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
    STEP 2 :
    Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
    #1 Randall Hines 22 Stature Dr. Newark DE 19713
    #2 Mike Sharrer 921 West State St. Coopersburg PA 18036
    #3 Travis Montgomery 2211 Elmers Lane Norfolk NE 68701
    #4 James Adair the third 22 Over Rd. Feasterville PA 19053
    #5 Michael Lescault 123 Rhode Island Ave. Pawtucket, RI. 02860
    #6 Michael Hendrock 106 S.academy St. Lodi, Ohio 44254
    STEP 3:
    Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5,
    5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
    STEP 4:
    Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible.
    If you do not live in the U.S. or there is a foreign address, you must put an international
    stamp on your envelopes. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. ( I think
    there are close to 24,000 groups in all.) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post,
    the more money you make!!
    DIRECTIONS FOR POSTING TO NEWSGROUP BULLETINS
    STEP 1: You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put you
    cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this letter. Then
    select 'copy' from the edit menu.
    This will copy the entire letter into the computer's temporary memory.
    STEP 2: Open a blank 'notepad' or word processor file and place your cursor at the top of the
    blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into
    notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
    STEP 3: Save your new notepad file as a *.txt file. If you want to do your postings in different
    sittings, you'll always have this file to fo back to.
    STEP 4: Use your Internet provider and search engines to find various newsgroups (on-line forums,
    message boards, chat sites, discussions).
    STEP 5: Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by higlighting the
    text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, and this will
    be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular
    group. Then click the post message button. You're done with your first one!
    Congratulations...
    THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the
    hang of it, it will only take about 30 seconds for each posting!!
    ** REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! ----BUT YOU HAVE
    TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**----- That's it!
    You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to
    rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
    you can invent a name to use , as long as the postal service will deliver it.
    JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT
    WITH 200 POSTINGS
    Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies ( a very low example). So then I made 5.00
    with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
    MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5, and only 5 persons repond to each of the original
    5, that is another 25. Then those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4, and only
    5 relies to each, and I will bring in an additional125! Now, those 125 persons turn around
    and post the MINIMUM 200 with my
    name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, and I will make an additional 625! OK, now here
    is the fun part... Each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2,
    and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me 3125!!! Those 3,125 persons will all
    deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1, and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups
    react, I will receive an amazing 15625!
    With an original investment of only 6! AMAZING!
    DO IT OVER AND OVER
    When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups,
    and send out another 6 to names on the list, putting your name at #6 again. Then start posting
    again. That's it! Do you realize that thousands of honest people just like you all over the
    world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everday? So can you afford 6 and
    see if it really works?? I think so..
    People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money?" So what!
    What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users who are joining
    the Internet and newsgroups everyday? So, are you willing to give it a try? Estimates are about
    20,000 to 50,000 new bulletin board users everyday, with thousands of those joining the Internet
    itself. ---Remember please play FAIRLY! This ensures a huge circle of wealth that grows with
    the Internet audience!!! Everyone
    benefits!!! Remember To Send The Six Envelopes To The Above Addresses, In Order To Create The
    Legal Service. At first I was scared to try this, but once I research it, I found that it is
    totally legal. When you send the six envelopes out, you create a service, a legal service.
    The Internet audience is expanding all the time. The audience is like an equity stock on the
    stock market, continuously going up. If you still think this is a fraud, take a few minutes
    to check it out, then.... you can start
    raking in the
    cash!!
    THIS CAN WORK IF WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER!!!!

    What a pile of dreck !
    ROTFLMAO
    ... to have so little to do, and so much time to do it in ...

  • What does it mean "Do you want to save your current game on a new Game Center account?"

    My daughter and I have been playing Hay Day.  She on the iPad with her own Game Center Account.  I on my iPhone, with my Game Center account.  Tonight I noticed that I can log her out and log in as me, so I can play on the big screen.  As soon as my wife saw this, she wanted to play too.  So... she created a Game Center account, logged me out, and logged into Game Center as her.  When we go the game, this message appears:
    "Do you want to save your current game on a new Game Center account?"
    What does this mean? 
    What should we choose to ensure she starts a new Hay Day game, not start where I was.  We did not get this message when we switched back and forth between my daughter an I.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks Larry.  I ended up at the genius bar at the local Apple store.  My home button had died which is why the phone was constantly going to Voice Control.  The phone was replaced.  Thanks for answering.  I checked out the link and ordinarily that would have done the trick.

  • Error in sharepoint 2010 designer while saving:"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see the results of the save? "

    Hi, 
    I am doing development  in sharepoint 2010 and facing this very weird problem.
    If I create a site page with the sharepoint look and feel for that site and try to save the site page,i am getting this error:**"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see
    the results of the save? "** and when i say reload,the server removes some parts of my page, e.g onclick event of html,asp buttons.
    This error just comes for any sharepoint site page,e.g i took a copy of 'How To Read Library' page just edited the text part of taht page,and when i try to save this error again comes up.
    However,if i create a simple aspx page with only htmltags like head body,then thr is no problem ,everything works great. But sharepoint look and feel pages are giving troubles while saving.
    has anybody seen this earlier,what could be the reason for this?
    Thanks

    I think the excerpt and link below is the why, but the page talks about server code and not javascript.  I guessing that this is why blank pages work, but not wiki pages.  Can anyone verify this?
    The following are general rules for using server-side code on a site page.
    If the page is uncustomized, server-side code is supported on the page.
    If the page is customized, server-side code does not run, and the page does not render. This includes the code-behind for the page itself.

    That is not what I said.
    Normal.dotm is a template, not a .doc file. It is the template that every new document is based upon, IF you changed any of the template settings (font size or other attributes) then you will be prompted to save the changes.
    Did you? (or is this an old Windows Template)
