Toast and Apple SuperDrive - Serious Compatibility Issue

My friend's G5's DVD SuperDrive suddenly can't mount DVD that burnt with Toast 7 and 6, why is that? Only DVD that burnt with Disk Utility can be mount, I am still not known yet which exactly model he's owning now. will update when I am informed. Anyone has the same problem?
* All his softwares are up-to-date via Software Update.

Chances are that the media he is using is the problem.
I doubt very seriously that it has anything to do with the version of Toast that is being used.
You will find that not all Media is compatable with all drives, both in speed and format.
In otherwords, if your machine will only read and write at 2X and using DVD-R media.
There is your problem. DVD+R or RW will not work as well as if he used or burned the project above 2X, lets say 8X using 8X media you can't read it with your computer.
The newer optical drives will read and write at the faster speeds at 8X and above, and will also read and write to
DVD-R DVD-RW DVD+R DVD+RW.
DVD-R Media is the most widely recognized and used media that will play on just about anything including most computers, 95%. Anything other than this media will not work accept on the newer burners and players.

  • FCE 4 and 4.0.1 compatibility issue:

    FCE 4 and 4.0.1 compatibility issue:
    While using Final Cut Express 4.0.1 on one machine I save (saves as .fcp) and now when I try to open the same file to continue editing, on a machine running Yosemite, and FCE 4 it gives an error message saying "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut".  I have worked this way before (not ideal), I am wondering if the 4.0.1 update is still available and if so where?
    Any Help would be great.

  • OS 10.4.11 and HP Officejet 4500 compatibility issue (scanning)

    Hi there,
    I am having a compatibility issue with a G4 (OS 10.4.11) and a HP Officejet 4500 (all-in-one).
    (Sorry if this is a little long, but there are many specs and many attempts listed here).
    Problem: I cannot scan from the computer (upon opening HP Scan, a Browser Device window pops up, asking to "Choose a scanning device" the model is not listed, and it continues to search for a device but cannot find it) or from the scanner control panel to the computer (I tried selecting Open in HP Scan and Open in Preview from the panel  –it then says on the panel "Starting scanning" but it doesn't scan even though the power button flashes (it then reverts to date and time), and the program it's opening in on the computer just seems to hang).
    Still, some functions work fine:
    - I can print from the computer to the printer (it recognizes the printer)
    - The HP fax test seemed to run fine (via computer)
    - As a stand-alone device (without the computer), I can photocopy in B&W and color –so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the scanner itself.
    Here are the specs:
    Computer specs:
    - PowerPC G4, 933 MHz, 512 MB SDRAM, running OS 10.4.11 (no Intel Core processor)
    (the hard drive is partitioned into 3 –one runs 10.4.11 (the others Jaguar and OS9 –for compatiblity with other programs/peripherals) –21GB space remaining on 10.4.11 partition
    All-in-One specs:
    - HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m (USB, not wireless) all-in-one (printer/scanner/fax/copier) with USB 2.0 high-speed A-B printer cable (says in literature and on box it is  compatible with the G4 running OS 10.4.11, 256 MB RAM, 500 MB HD)
    I contacted HP Tech Support. They suggested the following which were tried and failed to work:
    - shutting everything down and restarting (many times)
    - they checked to see if there was any update to the HP software –there didn't appear to be
    - plug power cord directly into wall outlet
    - switch to USB 2.0 cable (from 1.0)
    - unplugging and replugging the USB 2.0 cable
    - plug USB directly into the G4
    - turning off the firewall (under System Preferences - Sharing)
    - "scrub" or complete uninstall of all HP software (twice)
    - search and removal of files via system and user libraries pertaining to HP (and some Epson files)
    - verify and repair permissions (twice)
    - reinstall of HP software (twice, second time after scrub/uninstall and verify/repair permissions)
    - Software Update (via Apple menu) –only found Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2 (version 2.0) which they suggested might fix the problem –I downloaded and installed them, and then J2SE 5.0 Release 4 (version 4.0) which I downloaded but could not install (error message)
    I then contacted Apple Tech Support and they said to go to support.apple.com and do a manual search for "HP 4500" –I did not find any drivers.
    [I did previously have an Epson CX 4600 all-in-one which scanned fine with a USB 1.0 cable, even after the printheads had clogged shut –and I had had a HP Officejet J4580 which worked fine (which was for a family member) –this software would've been removed with the current HP installs and scrubs]
    I am on the verge of returning this –it has also gotten several very bad reviews on the Apple site (for the wireless), however, I may have trouble finding a compatible device, as one running 10.4 is getting hard to find (unless I buy used, then no warranty and potentially other problems).
    If anyone knows of any drivers or has any other information as to why this is not working, I would be most grateful (BTW, I am not much of a tech guy, so please bear with me).
    Thanks.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and OSX 10.6 - Compatibility issue

    I've bought a new MacBook Pro (2,53 GHz, 4 GB RAM) and OSX 10.6.4 . With the old one (MBP 2,16 GHz, 1 GB RAM, still with OSX 10.6.4) the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 went perfectly.
    Now I'm experiencing a major compatibility issue: the same mouse, even with the same OS version but only a different MacBook Pro, won't be recognized.
    Bluetooth: activated
    Bluetooth firmware: latest
    Mouse: ON with batteries OK
    OPERATING SYSTEM: same (first restored via Time Machine and then updated with Apple Software Update)
    Suggestions?
    Message was edited by: Tyrexionibus

    I went through many of the same frustrations as the members above...my mouse had been working after the upgrade and then when I set up for a presentation with a room full of teachers it wouldn't connect.  I replaced batteries, etc... so I resorted to the pad.
    When I got home i checked the batteries and tried to reconnect following all the "normal" steps until I read the comment above about removing the existing device in the bluetooth preferences.  Once I did that - the 5000 connected like a champ!  Yeah!  This is the one mouse that I have really appreciated, especially since both of the USB ports are side by side and don't allow for multiple USB connections from my "wide" cellular USB card.

  • Disgraceful Design Flaw and Apple Response re: Docking issues

    For everyone having issues trying to dock their Ipod Touch 4th gen the problem is clearly a design flaw with the slanted angle on the units rendering them incompatible with the majority of the docking systems of IHome / Bose / Denon or whatever. If you look at the pin on the USB cable that came with the Ipod, you'll see that it is smaller then the pins of the docking stations. I find it amazing that Apple has been entirely quiet regarding this issue even after all of the posts here about the problems people are having.
    With all the money and huge sales that Apple is enjoying, we should DEMAND---but they should have offered---an adapter---FREE !!! that will allow us to use our old IHomes/Bose/Denon...or whatever systems. SHAME ON APPLE---If they don't do something to correct this problem, they should realize that we will not purchase any other Apple products until this issue is resolved

    YEp, at first there were tons of individual complaint messages, and so I decided to create a website with a simple list of everyone having the issue. I said so in the forums and the Apple guys locked my account for bad behaviour (!!!!) and closed down the whole thread (with hundreds of messages).
    I put it up on the web, complaining out loud of this bad move for Apple PR. Even got to be interviewed by a few internet media companies from the US and Australia.. and after that I got a call from the regional executive officer of Apple Europe (in Ireland).
    They unlocked my account and agreed to inspect the case. They asked me to go to a service centre where they would exchange the cover and send the deffective one to California for testing.
    Even today, after 2 years, if you look for my name on google you get more than 1,000 results just about this issue.

  • GWIA and Apple Mail IMAP FETCH issue

    We are having a problem with Mail accessing a particular IMAP account. This particular account is accessed by three users via IMAP and occasionally it hangs when updating the cache directories for a particular folder. Also, when this happens the IMAP server is flooded with FETCH requests from Mail. This in turn acts just like a DoS attack and the server will eventually drop. The IMAP server we use is GWIA (GroupWise 7.0.3). The Mail clients are Mail 3.2 and 4.4 (x2).
    I have tried several things, rebuilding the mailbox on the local machines, removing the Default Contents, Envelope Index and LSMMap2 files and restarting Mail. All to no avail.
    What I am seeing in the Activity window is:
    [INBOX - Photo] Updating cache directory
    Received 1024 of 4294967287 headers...
    I have to stop this process and then Mail will stop sending Fetch requests. Thus far this is the only account to be acting this way for three users. It, also does not happen constantly, yet seemingly at random.

  • I have a Sony NEX-VG10, edit with Prem Pro and am having serious capturing issues.

    I recently purchased the Sony NEX-VG10 and am really excited about it.  I have run into some serious problems capturing the footage, though.  I have a 2010 iMac, am running OSX 10.8.2  Mountain Lion and use Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 to edit.  I've discovered that the files on the camera are .MTS, a file format with which I am unfamiliar (not surprising, I'm not exactly a newb, but the past few months is the first time I've started editing seriously - I am more a writer/director/producer and could do basic stuff with FC7 and Prem Pro - now I own my own production company and am getting down to the nitty gritty). 
    But I have found that
    1. I can't capture using bridge, it doesn't recognize the file format.
    2. When I plug the camera into the computer and go straight to the files, I don't even get individual files.  All the information is contained in what looks like a Quicktime movie, but isn't recognized by Quicktime or any other program as anything.
    3.  When I go into the camera files using the import function in Premiere Pro, I find the individual .MTS files - which say they are Unix Executable files (no idea what that means), I can import them into PP, but the quality is atrocious.  Grainy and pixely.  Even when viewing them in full res playback mode.
    4. I bought Bigasoft Total Video converter (wicked cool program).  I import the files using PP, then go find them in this program, and convert them into .mov files - the quality is still atrocious (not surprised, as the .mts files look cruddy, what could I expect when I converted them - but was worth a try).
    I need to capture these files in full quality (oh - the file information says they are in 1920 x 1080 (1.0), so it's not like I filmed in a low res. 
    The software that came with the camera is for PCs, I've searched for answers to these problems, and although I've found similar, I can't find anything that actually helps me.  Can anyone out there tell me exactly what to do?!?  I would be most appreciative.  My new company's success depends on it!

    If you'll type mts into the search field for these communities, you will see a plethora of threads on the subject - I was going to link to one, but there are so many, it'd be best for you to read through several. In any case, of note is the fact that you might be able to import into iMovie directly as long as you do not shoot in 50/60 fps - in order to be able to read it, it has to be either 30fps for NTSC or 24 for PAL.
    Not sure if the frames per second problem has anything to do with your lousy quality problem, but it might. The other concern is that Sony has not and does not really play nice with anything Apple - that was one of the reasons I chose a Canon.

  • Apple tv serious buffering issues w/netflex shows

    I'm trying to figure how to resolve buffering issues with netflex on my apple tv.  I have checked my uploand/download speed and it's running at 35/35 and can watch netflex on my computer that is wireless.  I have 1 apple tv that is wireless and the other is plugged into network and still have the same problem that it is buffering every few minutes. Then sometimes it does'nt have to buffer at all and runs like a champ.  Please help!  this is very frustrating.

    Use Google’s Public DNS Server To Fix Apple TV Streaming Problems
    1. Navigate to Settings >> General >> Network and select Configure TCP/IP.
    2. Select “Manually” next to Configure IP.
    3. Dont change the IP address or the Subnet Mask and Router Address. Just click "Done".
    4. Set the DNS Address screen with the following: 008.008.008.008 and click “Done.”
    You should now be able to stream more smoothly on your Apple TV.
    If this works for you, please buy a cup of coffee for a complete stranger or some other selfless, random act of kindness.

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and Apple Cinema Display compatibility

    I'd like to buy an Apple Cinema Display for my 5-year-old Power Mac G5 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, but I'm having trouble understanding what I can and can't hook up to my system.
    I was thinking of getting a 30" display, but the Apple Store says I need a Dual-Link DVI, which I don't think my graphics card supports, but the Store also says I need an ATI Radeon 9650 or better, which I imagine the 9800 Pro is.
    I've looked at the ATI site for data on the graphics card, but their online manual shows a completely different set of connections on the card. They show VGA and S-Video out ports that mine doesn't have.
    Does my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro have dual-link? If so, can I use the 30" display? If not, can I still use the 30" display?
    If I can't use the 30" display, are there any compatibility problems with the 23" Apple Cinema Display?

    The 9800 is faster than the 9650, but it doesn't have a dual-link DVI port.
    Make sure you were looking at the Mac section of ATI's site. PC and Mac versions of the same card may have different port configurations.
    AGP cards with dual-link DVI, starting with the fastest:
    ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB (ADC, dual-link DVI) (Some reports of problems with Leopard)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/0831xeghr.html>
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra 256 MB (Two dual-link DVI)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/6613332.html>
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB (Two dual-link DVI)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/6613441.html>
    ATI Radeon 9650 XT (Single-link, dual-link DVI)
    <http://www.mac-pro.com/ATI-Radeon-9650-256MB-for-G5-661-3593?sc=2&category=42>
    ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP (Single-link, dual-link DVI)
    <http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3170809>
    A 23" will work with any G5 card.

  • External KM Repository and Microsoft 2007 extensions compatibility issues

    Hi,
    We are currently having issues when trying to open Microsoft Office 2007 documents through an external KM repository (connected to a Windows share drive).  The new extensions are not recognized, and so the user is only allowed to save the document.  We did have this problem in our internal repository, but we found some notes to fix that issue (changed some settings on KM iView ).  We assumed it would also fix our external repository issue as well, but it did not.  Does anybody know how to fix this for an external repository?
    We are on EP portal version 6.0, on NetWeaver  7.0, SPS 17.
    Thanks,
    Carrie

    Hi Carrie,
    ok. So in general it must be the same.
    I will explain the exact way how it "should" work.
    At the moment you upload a file. The portal have a look at the file extention and depending on this file extention and the KM MIME Types Settings the portal writes the assoziated mime type in the document property MIME Type.
    Now we download the file. Now the MIME Type will be send with the file to the OS. Windows has a look in the registry and open the application assoziate with this mine type. And have a look if an confirmation box should appear or not.
    This works for all repositories external and internal.
    But now the question is: Do your external repository has the attribute MIME Type for a document and is in this attribute the same value like in your internal repository?
    I am anxious to hear what is the special of your external repository.
    Best regards
    Frank

  • Visio 2007 standard and Visio 2010 standard compatibility issues

    Have a Visio File that peoplle using 2007 Standard can open and view, but when using 2010 Standard thhe drawing is not viewable, all the drawing properties are there but the drawing can not be seen

    Hi,
    I have some questions about the issue:
    1.Did both of the Visio 2007 and Visio 2010 installed in the computer? 
    2. If we open and view the file in the different computers, how did you transfer the file? By email, physical storage or the other?
    If we had two computers, I recommend you copy all the
    content from the special file to new blank Visio 2010 file to test.
    If you sent it through Email, the file may be damaged. Please follow the link to troubleshooting the issue:

  • White Screen after start up chime and Apple logo, any common issues/reasons?

    Hi all,
    I have a 2011 quadcore i7, 4GB RAM MacBook Pro which has recently and suddenly developed this annoying fault. A perminant white screen after the Apple logo and spinwheel. I have removed the hard drive (from my early 2011 MacBook Pro) and did a clean install of Lion (10.7) and I know the harddrive is fine and functional as my Mac Pro is able to boot from it and works perfectly, put the same drive back into the MacBook Pro and same, start up chime - Apple Logo - Flash, screen stays white. So its not Harddrive and most likely not a software problem (as the drive has been whiped and OSX reinstalled.) Any thoughts that it may be a bust motherboard or graphics card?
    Already tried:
    Safe Boot
    Single-user Mode
    Verbode Mode
    Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM
    Wiping and installing OSX
    Disc recovery
    Internet Recovery
    Many thanks in advance

  • T60 think pad and HP monitor w2338h compatibility issues

    I bought an HP w2338h monitor (23") for use with my T60 laptop, but was unsuccessful in getting it properly set up. My husband had no problem plugging it into his HP laptop (all settings were fine).  The problem when it’s hooked up to my IBM laptop is the image is a bit distorted (squished) but, more importantly, when editing 2 documents, the side-by-side view doesn't show the entire page and the font isn’t legible.  So for each document, you’d have to use the scroll bars (up, down and sideways) to actually make sure you’re seeing everything (which is no better than the laptop).  Also, when my laptop cover was closed, the monitor went to sleep.  Are there particular settings on the laptopI should adjust?

    which T60 model do you have, what GPU does it use, the Intel 950 or the ATI x1300/1400?
