Supported external usb and/or firewire dvd drive

What's the latest consensus on an external drive for an iBook running 10.4? The internal one has failed and is going to be a couple of hundred quid to replace.
FireWire and USB support would be ideal as the USB interface will be useful once the iBook is replaced with a MacBook.
Support can be native or via patchburn, I'm not that fussed. Needs to work with iLife and The Finder.

Being in the UK, i'd buy this drive:

USB2 / Firewire, Lightscribe, cheap!
A quick search on Amazon.com:

I second the support for LaCie, they focus on Mac support

  • Problems Installing via an External Firewire DVD drive

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Leopard from an external LaCie D2 (with LightScribe) DVD/DL drive via a Firewire cable.
    I start the iMac (G5 20" SuperDrive is dead) via the "option" key, a screen with a choice between HD and Leopard Install DVD appears.
    When I select the second option (install Leopard) I have the Apple Start Up screen (the grey screen with the dark grey Apple) but the spinning flower is missing. And the screen stays that way for minutes... Is it normal? Do I have to wait more? Is my iMac cursed?

    Here's the problem:
    1- the problem occurs when I boot, so the OS is "innocent"
    2- when I load the start up menu (with the option key held down) I see both of the drives (HD and External Firewire DVD drive), so it can't be a "power" problem... (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MQs2n1vxpkw)
    3- when I insert a DVD (movie for example), the drive reads it when connected via USB 2.0 and doesn't via Firewire, so the drive is unable to read (or reads slowly)? a Driver problem?
    4- when I shutdown the iMac with the external drive connected via the USB port, the drive shuts down too, while it doesn't when it's connected via the FW one...

  • DVD player won't recognize firewire DVD drive and won't install.

    I bought a Sony firewire DVD drive so that my wife could watch DVDs on her iBook. I can't get Apple's DVD Player to install on the iBook because it says it doesn't recognize any appropriate hardware.
    Does anyone know how to get it to recognize the firewire DVD player and install?
    If not, does anyone else know of a good third party DVD player for this iBook. I installed one, I think it is called Xine or something like that. It playes the DVDs but is "glitchy."
    Thanks very much,
    Ted Vieira

    Actually, since posting the question I found an answer in an ealier thread...
    I'm still not sure about getting Apple's DVD Player to work with an exernal drive, but you can get a free VLC Medea Player that works great at:
    http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
    I was able to download this and install it. It was a little "glitchy" with USB 2.0, but worked fine with FireWire.

  • Panther to Tiger using LaCie Firewire DVD drive

    First, it was suggested I start a new topic, because of using an external Firewire drive. I have the proper Tiger "Retail" install disk. This is for a friends iMac that did not come with a DVD/Combo drive.
    Anything anyone can suggest. I'm hoping the following will work:
    1. iMac has latest firmware, and is up to date with latest Panther.
    2. hook up LaCie external firewire DVD drive, and as long as it is recognized on the desktop of my friends iMac, that I will be able to then insert/load the Tiger Install Disk and double click on it to install Tiger onto the iMac.
    3. I additionally have the option of taking over my Intel dual-core MacBook (Leopard installed) and using that in Target Disk Mode with the Tiger disk in the combo drive of the MacBook. Will it then install on the iMac?
    4. I appreciate any and all suggestions and help. I read through numerous posts, but all the links for the Applelink article about installing using Target Disk Mode simply take me to the main page of Applelink and I can't seem to find the instructions.
    5. I'm just wondering anyone's experience in using an external Firewire DVD drive to use as the install disk for the OSX Tiger installation to an older iMac.
    thanks! Patrick.

    Hi Patrick, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    1. Good.
    2. Should work if it's Mac compatable, you'll find out soon enough.
    3. Very likely.
    4. The iMac should see the MacBook's DVD as bootable when the MB is in Target Mode.
    5. It works with many FW Opticals, but a few do not support Mac Booting.
    6. Another option possibly, you can clone an image of the DVDs to a FW drive and boot from that for an install too... I've used Toast to do it, but it can be done with Disk Utility.
    PS. I doubt you'll have problems with 2 ways to go there, good luck!

  • SB Live ! 24 bit external USB and windows seven blue screen

    ;SB Li've ! 24 bit external USB and windows seven blue screen+ hi! i have installed windows seven 64 bit build 7600 RTM on my PC and i wanted to install also my USB sound card which is SB Li've ! 24 bit and i downloaded the beta drivers from creative. instalation was really fast and smooth but at the end i've got a message that the program has stopped to response and i have closed it. i did a system reboot and i have seen that the sound card has been installes succesfull and also the control panel. Sound was clear and really nice, all worked fine but sometimes im getting a blue screen on my windows with a code STOP 0x000000E and then a file named usbuhc.sys was the problem. i think that the sound card is the thing that is doing the blue screen becouse i have only a keyboard, mouse and the sound card SB Li've ! installed as USB.
    Is it normal that i have those troubles on my PC ? is it my sound card my windows seven problem ? what should i do now ?
    at the moment i have turned off the sound card so i will see if i get a blue screen or not.
    thanks for any reply

    ? yes, i have also tried to download the beta drivers again and re-install them but i have still the same problem :/ it happens in a different time, sometimes after hour or sometimes after 0 hours when my computer is turned on. my system is mostly turned on becouse im downloading some stuff so it is running all the day, sometimes im surfing websites but its nothing special. I really dont know what to do :/@83.30.93.77

  • Installing Tiger (dvd) with sony external firewire DVD drive

    Helo all,
    Can anyone tell me if the B/W G3 can boot up an OS X CD from an external firewire or USB DVD Room.
    I want to upgrade my machine to Tiger but not having any luck with getting it to recognize the external DVD Rom on boot up.
    It recognizes it with no problem once the OS is installed and logged into a user profile but the entire time during boot up I can't get it to boot from the drive.
    I have tried the following key combinations (Don't know if they are supposed to work with the B/W G3):
    T - Firewire Target Mode
    Command-Option-Shift-Delete - Bypass internal harddrive on boot
    System Prefs > Startup Disk > Select DVD Room > Restart
    Is there anything else I can try other then trying to find an IDE internal hard drive to plug into this machine?

    B&Ws can not boot from Firewire drives.
    Most Pioneer drives are bootable if installed internally. Certain other brands are also bootable (internally).

  • Pros And Cons Of Using An External USB 2.0/FW DVD Burner ?

    This is not entirely an iDVD query, though iDVD is the proram that will be using the DVD burner most. (I have also posted it on the iMac forum but received no response yet and iDVD users are likely to be more knowledgeable about DVD burning).
    I intend to get an iMac when the next Leopard version is introduced.
    However, I am not keen on slot loading CD/DVD burners as I once had a thicker than normal CD jam temporarily. Also I feel there is more potential for scratching and a few months ago I read that the mechanism used was comparatively flimsy and only good for a couple of hundred burns. I must stress that I don't know how accurate that last statement is?
    So I have been toying with the idea of getting a cheap (LaCie) USB 2.0 or FW DVD burner to save wear and tear on the internal iMac mechanism.
    If anyone could answer these questions I would be grateful:-
    1. The USB 2.0 and FW versions have identical performance specs and the FW model costs nearly twice as much. So has the USB 2.0 burner got any disadvantages? (I already have Toast8).
    2. Would they work as quickly and efficiently as the internal iMac burner ? (I realise I would have to convert my projects to disk images first).
    3. Could I use them to install/reinstall the OS - should that ever be required ?
    I am keen to know of any other advantages or disadvantages that I may have overlooked.
    Ian.

    I am posting this info, provided by Karsten, for the benefit of anyone else who may be contemplating making their own Firewire DVD Burner :-
    "Although I have done car maintenance and general household DIY I have never attempted anything with computers," was my comment.
    Karsten's reply was:-
    ........then, this is really a no-brainer for YOU.. me too just a Tim Allan guy/Home Improvement ..
    first, open the fw-case, which is usually 4-6 small Philips screws on the bottom (back?) ... the innards then 'slide out', on the back or front, depending on case; some cases split in top/bottom half...
    your DVDburner has two 'connectors - a smaller one for power, a very large (60? pins) one for 'data' .. be careful with this one..
    ok: connect the power-cable within the case (mostly needs a strong push).. connect the data-/ATA cable to drive.. the plug has a 'nose', so no wrong connection possible, or you push real hard = kaputt ...
    that large one has to be placed 'symmetrically'.. don't bend the many pins.. just work slowly and carefully.. easy...
    ahh, forgot to mention: INSIDE are two 'slides'.. use 2-4 screws to fix the drive within the case (you find the screws usually in the package.. of the case AND of the drive.. )
    close case, ...
    ... = 10min job, in case you have to brew an Espresso meanwhile..

  • USB/Firewire/DVD drives working but not showing up on my desktop after firmware update

    I just updated my 15inch Macbook Pro (early 2011) to the latest firmware patch and now none of my external hard drives, flash drives, or DVDs are showing up on my desktop. I can still access all of the files from the side bar in a finder window (and play movies in DVD player, etc). This was not a problem before I updated my computer about an hour ago.  I already tried restarting it and that did nothing.  I went into disk utility and tried repairing the drives but it claims there is nothing wrong with them.  In sum, everything is functioning properly, but nothing is showing up on my desktop.
    Does anyone have any insight as to why this may be and/or any solutions to the problem?

    In Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then, restart.(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

  • Problems with my external USB 3.0 (Toshiba) hard drive and Macbook Air 2012

    I can't seem to get any help on this from Apple and I am tired of ti I have a new Macbook Air 2012 model and have several Toshiba external USB 3.0 drives. I did the Mountain Lion App Store 10.8.2 update and all of a sudden non of my drives are mountable or accessible. I've been in IT 16 years and have never seen anything like this. The drives are physically fine and I can see the mapped partitions on a Windows 7 machine just fine and even use HFS Explorer to view the directory structures. The data on these drives is extremely important to not only me, but also the DoD who I am working with on a major project. Now I can't get to my documents to edit them or pull down the virtual machines I setup for my labs.
    I've done all sorts of research and googled myself to death. I even foudn the "missing because Apple pulled" 2.0 update to try and fix this issue. Whatever was done with ML 10.8.2 on these notebooks renders the USB ports useless. Does anyone have a solution to getting these drives to mount?

    I have the same issue. 
    I have two disks HDTC720XK3C1 (Portable Toshiba Hard Disk, USB 3.0 + 2.0, 2.0 TB). Purchased on the same date and same model.  One inexplicably stopped working.  
    When i connect the drive, the systems show an message that say:
    "You need format the drive <x> before can you use it
    Do you want to format it" 
    I attach the two pictures with the screen error and disk  managment.
    Question for the group:  These devices seem not very reliable ? this type of error the warranty covers?  Sugestions ? 
    i think, that a backup tool should be secure. This is the 7th time I use it and the data is completely lost. Opinions?

  • Problem installing OSX 10.4 from Firewire DVD drive

    Hi, I'd be very grateful if anyone can help... I've been trying to install OSX 10.4 from DVD loaded in an external Firewire Lacie DVD drive and haven't been successful yet. I have tried instructing startup from the DVD in System Preferences, holding Option on startup and selecting the DVD and also holding 't' on startup, which I was informed forced startup from an external Firewire device (this resulted in a large Firewire logo floating round the screen but after 10 minutes or so hadn't progressed into full startup). Having read some bits of info found on Apple support I can see there is some issue about installing OSX 10.4 from a DVD drive other than an internal Apple drive (although I can't see any explanation why). Could someone please let me know if there is another way of doing this? – I mainly want to get 10.4 installed because I want to get a new ipod which requires 10.4 rather than 10.3. Thanks very much, Sam

    Some external DVD drives support startup. Some do not.
    Holding down the T key at startup makes the Mac go into FireWire Target Disk Mode. It will not help you start up from the DVD drive.
    If you have another Mac with FireWire and a DVD drive, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode to mount your Mac's hard drive on the other Mac's desktop. Then, you can use that other Mac to startup from the DVD and run the installer, pointing to your Mac's hard drive for the installation.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    I don't know of any other way, if the external DVD drive does not support start up.

  • Firewire DVD drive to reformat?

    Hi!
    The Combo Drive in my eMac went crazy and I dont know if it's the drive that is bad or a software problem. If I put the OS disk in the drive and reboot from the ComboDrive, it wont work, but spins like mad! I dont own any disk utilities other than the standard Mac OS utility and it says nothing is wrong. Either way, I dont want to buy a new internal drive if that's not the problem and this Mac needs a good reformat anyway to clean things up and bring it back to top performance. I now own OS 10.4.3 and need to install it on this machine which is running 10.2 right now.
    If I buy a firewire or USB DVD drive, will it be able to be used to do a system reformat from? I copied the OS 10.4.3 disk onto a Firewire drive that I own, but it tells me this is not a suitable drive to reformat the system with. So, will a firewire or USB DVD drive work? Also, why is it that Macs apparently dont support USB 2.0? Thanks!

    I copied the OS 10.4.3 disk onto a Firewire driveIf you drag-copied the OS X System and Library folders from your hard drive to the Firewire drive, that won't work --- there are several thousand invisible files critical to running OS X that aren'tt copied using that method. You can use a third-party utility like SuperDuper! to clone the hard drive's System and Library, since the normal method (using your OS X Install disc to install to the Firewire device) obviously has a flaw or two in your case.

  • Is there a key command for ejecting a dvd or cd from a firewire dvd drive?

    I have looked in the chats with no luck. I have two optical drives connected to my G5 powermac one internal and one firewire, and can't remember
    the key command to eject a disc from the external one without dragging it to the trash. I know I used to do that it. option / eject button/ or control/ eject but that does not work. I know you can click on the disc icon then do command/e. But I think there is a way to eject it with a key command and not have to click on the disc first. In other words when you hit the keyboards eject button you can eject the disc in the internal super drive with one push of the keyboards eject button. I want to be able to do that with my external dvd drive.
    Any clue?
    Thanks.

    hmm, it might not be possible without some third party hack.
    Try the following link:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050520155515566
    You'll need to paste the provided script into Script Editor, save it as an application and bind a keyboard shortcut to it using one of many many application launchers like Quciksilver, Butler, Quickeys, ikeys or Spark (suggested by the above link).
    sorry that script is outdated.
    here is the correct one:
    property drawerstatus : true
    if drawerstatus is true then
    do shell script "drutil -drive external tray eject"
    else
    do shell script "drutil -drive external tray close"
    end if
    set drawerstatus to not drawerstatus

    If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
    To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
    Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
    There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

  • Installed iTunes 7.6 and my CD/DVD Drive disappears

    I noticed that since I installed the newest version of iTunes on windows vista my DVD player is no longer present. I realized this through a series of trial and error. Originally I noticed my DVD drive was not responding and could not figure out why. Had HP tech support fix the problem by removing a damaged registry key. But later when I went to iTunes it caused an error in iTunes. When I reinstalled iTunes the DVD drive went missing again. Microsoft Windows SP 1 hasnt fixed this and HP has not fixed this has Apple or anyone fixed this issue yet?

    Had the same problem but I've fixed it:
    Go to Run. Type in "regedit" and click OK. Now follow this procedure:
    Computer>HKEYLOCALMACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Control>Class>{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318.
    In this folder, you should see a file called UpperFilters. Delete this! Your CD/DVD Drive should show up again! iTunes should continue to work but I've noticed that it doesn't allow me to burn CDs anymore :S
