Upgrade my 3000 C100 0761-D7A Gcc-4244n CD RW/DVD drive

I would like to upgrade my 3000 C100 0761-D7A Gcc-4244n CD RW/DVD drive, it has quit burning anything and wonder if I can upgrade it to either a DVD RW or even Lightscribe. And if so, what would be compatible to replace it with.

you can use easeus disk copy.

Need to upgrade from 10.1.5 to tiger, don't have dvd drive

I only have a cd drive in my old imac. Would like to upgrade to Tiger and add an airport card. Do I need to buy the full version or just an upgrade cd? Is it possible to put an airport card in this imac? Should I add more memory too? I hear it is pretty easy to add memory, but what about the airport card? It has the original operating system that came with the computer and it has never been upgraded. This computer is the white pod style. Thanks!

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Which exact iMac is it & RAM, HD, etc.?
No upgrade disks unless you can find the right Machine specific one on eBay or such, even the Black Retail version is hard to come by, then you'd need a DVD drive or another PPC Mac around to use Target Mode.
Better than an expensive/slow Airport card if you can even find them, Yes, it can be done, but you might consider one of these with a USB extension cable...

A USB cable will give you much better placement options, and they have better range/speed than Airport cards by far.

Upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard with no DVD Drive?

I have a 2008 Macbook 4.1 running 10.5.8, and I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard and eventually to Lion, But by my own doing I broke the dvd drive by dropping it down the stairs a few years back (thank god that was the only thing to brake) and have no way of installing!
I thought maybe i could buy a external dvd drive and install from that, but I don't want to buy one if its just not going to work! I'd love to be able to buy a brand new macbook pro but that is out of the question at the moment, but a external dvd drive sounds affordable.
Any ideas if this will work? and what sort of dvd drive to go for?
your thoughts would be much appreciated Thank you.

Thanks Ross, that is an excellent idea and have thought about it in the past, but because I only have my MacBook I don't want to have to rely on other people to update or even reinstall if something goes seriously wrong. I want a DVD drive that will work with my mac just ad the internal would. Maybe I should just bight the bullet and just get it fixed, but am sure a portable DVD drive would be atleast the price. Appreciate your advice though thank you.

Hi,
in your situation I would check the box, that is in this window, that sais something like "My FPR is not working" so that you can type in the password.
This kind of situations might happen, if you changes some security configuratior, computer, or user name or similar.
Test this and let me know, how it work out.
Cheers

Firmware for GCC 4240N CDRW/DVD Drive

I tried both the CD image version and the diskette version of the firmware update and neither will update my drive to version 0214.
The update facility recognizes my drive as HL-DT-ST CDRW/DVD Drive GCC-4240 Firmware Version 0111, but tells me that no update is necessary.
Anyone else experience this problem?

You're not limited to the exact optical drive that came in it.
I do not know whether there are incompatibilities with some drives, but I do know that some facilities were upgrading them with drives that would also burn DVDs (not recommended by me, due to the limitations of the slower G3 processors).
For one that is sure to work, check these links:

http://www.ifixit.com/iBook-Parts/iBook-G3-12-Inch-Combo-Drive/IF150-031
For one that's cheaper, you could try Googling the model numbers listed on that second link.
It's not an easy thing to do yourself:

I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
Thanks!

You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
or...
Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

CD Drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs - this happens any time I upgrade itunes

I just upgraded to the new version of itunes for my ipod touch. My CD Drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs occurs and it does not show up listed as part of my computer. How can I fix this?

Your DVD drive? Why would this be missing after a iTunes download?

DVD drive no longer seen after 10.5.1 upgrade

I upgraded to 10.5.1 on my G5 dual 1.8GHz mac and on reboot the DVD drive is no long visible to the operating system.
The drive was working the moment before I did the upgrade doing an install of iWork.
Now when the system boots, the DVD drive is on visible in System Profiler or Disk Utility

It seems as though the problems are multiplying. Other programs are acting funny now - I had to force quit iTunes yesterday and then the Finder froze. Keyboard response was nil, so I couldn't Force quit the Finder, so I had to resort to more drastic measures. It took two reboots to get things running again. I'm going to review some other threads to see if there are any clues there, then probably wipe the hard drive and do a clean install if nothing else seems to address the issue.

CD/DVD drive no longer reads music CD's after 10.5.6 upgrade

After going through the 10.5.6 upgrade, the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E on my 2.16 Intel MacBook is no longer recognizing music CD's. Bought 3 new CD's just before upgrading and they aren't recognized now, as well as older CD's I own. DVD's and software CD/DVD's seem to work fine however.
Any ideas on why and how to correct the issue? Is there a firmware update for the Matshita DVD drives used by Apple?
Thanks in advance
Joseph

My G5 iMac was doing the same thing in the early months of 2008, and it wasn't till June that I discovered the drive itself was going bad. I could burn a disc, and when it finished, it wouldn't mount. I would reboot, and while the disc would then mount, the iMac said it was not the proper format. (Even though it was just burned on the Mac).
A new drive eliminated this problem, so I would ask, how old is your computer?
Mine was a little over two years old when it started this, and it took four months to completely die on me.

I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?

If you have this product,

you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.

Trying to upgrade from 10.2.8 to 10.3 with external dvd reader

Hi everyone.
I have a bit of a question.
I have two macs; one is an iMac, 500mhz running 10.2.8 which I bought used off of Craigslist as a backup computer for whn my home PC finally dies. and the other is an eMac running 10.3.3 (this eMac is use at my photography studio, in a isolated non-internet accessable enviroment).
My PC recently died, and so I took the iMac home to use as my replacement.
I wanted to take the dvds with 10.3 on it and upgrade my iMac at home, because it is still on 10.2.8.
However, the iMac only has a cd-reader tray on it.
So I thought that I could take my external DVD drive, hook it up to the USB on the iMac, and I coudl read the dvds that way, but it won't work at all. The dvds are read, but when the computer auto-reboots it isn't reading the drive until after the computer fully boots up.
Is there any way I can get this to work?
Thanks everyone

iMac/eMac Mac OS X (10.3.3)

A few issues to consider:
A. What you are doing is illegal and violates Apple's software license.
B. You cannot use the special system installers that come with one computer to install OS X on a different model. They usually are special builds intended only for the Mac model with which they came.
C. You cannot boot the computer from USB device, you need a Firewire device.
D. Panther generally doesn't take kindly to installing from an external drive, it usually prefers installing from an internal optical drive.
E. A legal version of Panther comes on CDs. You can purchase it at www.applerescue.com.
