Using external SuperDrive with 2011 Mini

Hi,
I have one of the new Mac Minis which comes without an optical drive. however, I do have a USB SuperDrive which I bought for my 2010 MacBook Air. If I plug the drive into the Mini and then insert a prerecorded or blank disk, it is recognised perfectly. Blank disks open the Remote Disc folder (wherever that is), but I can't drop files into the folder for burning. If I try, I get a pop-up message 'The item FILENAME can't be moved because "Remote Disc" can't be modified.' The Remote Disc icon also doesn't have a burn button
On my Air, using the SuperDrive with a blank disk, Finder allows me to drop files into a folder and to press the Burn button to finalise the disk.
So does anyone know if I can get the Mac Mini to treat the SuperDrive in the same way as the Air? Or is there some way of setting up the Remote Disc to use the SuperDrive?
I can write the files using Toast, but I'd prefer to use Finder wherever possible.
Many thanks,
Mike.

i have a dell monitor also. 1901fp is the model number. it uses the dvi-d single link connector. i'm having problems finding a miniport to dvi-d single link connector. any suggestions?
or do i have to find an adapter to adapt the single link to dual link first?
i should have know this wasn't going to be easy!
thanks,

  • Can i use mirroring (atv) with iPad mini?

    can i use mirroring (atv) with iPad mini?

    You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
    If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers.

  • Using external libraries with Developer Studio 7.1 Composition Environment

    Hi,
    I downloaded DS 7.1 CE and tried to develop a simple application which uses an external library.
    I created a development component for "external library" for the local development -> MyComponent, giving it the name "test2" (for the domain basis).
    I imported the external library file using Import -> File System , then selecting the .jar file.
    In the component properties browser I added a public part naming it "mylib2" setting the purpose to "ASSEMBLY" (my intention was that the libarry will be transferred during the deployment to the application server).
    I right clicked on the public part to "managed entities". I selected the archive tree and checked the library file shown there (the one I imported before). #
    Then I opended component properties of my web dynpro project and clicked on "Dependencies". The I chose "Add..." and selected the "test2" development component I created before (see above).
    Then I tried to deploy the project (which uses this external library) using "Deploy Archive and Run"
    After deployment the browser window opens and shows the ClassNotFoundException
    So what did I oversee or do wrong?
    BTW: Is it necessary for using external libraries to use a full fletched NWDI? Or can I use external libs also with netweaver development environments freely available for download on sdn.sap.com?
    Any hints?
    Thanks a lot
    Hannes

    Hannes,
    If you want to use external libraries with DCs then you should follow the NWDI completely.
    Check this step, otheways of using external libraries is mentioned <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/de813e77d46245e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here.</a>

  • Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

    Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?  How do I do that?

    They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

  • External Superdrive for Mac mini?

    Recently I got a disc stuck in the drive of my mini and for the life of me I can't get it out so...I was wondering if they make an external Superdrive that will work with the mini. I had a look at the website and found one that says its for the macbook air, would that one work?Thanks in advance.

    Speaking for myself, I typically offer links to that vendor because they have Mac, and system specific, solutions which helps with a level of confidence that the problem is more likely than not to be solved. My personal experience with them as a vendor has born that out.
    That said, there are other competent vendors out there too who also offer good service and stand by their products, so it's up to you who you use. The only thing that encourages me to OWC is that if you buy something they are offering as a viable upgrade or add-on to your mini and it proves otherwise, they'll resolve the problem.

  • Intel iMac won't recognize external display with Dynex mini-DVI adapter

    I've got an original Intel iMac with a Mini-DVI connection on the back. I'm attempting to hook it up to an external display (a plasma screen, in fact). I picked up a Dynex Mini DVI to Video Adapter DX-AP100 for Apple. This connector has a mini-DVI connector on one end, and both a video-out and an S-video-out on the other.
    When attempting to use the adapter, the iMac does not recognize that there is an external display connected. Here are the facts:
    The external display: I've tried this with a Panasonic Plasma screen connected directly through S-video, as well as a Pioneer receiver (one that switches video) connected both through s-video and composite video. And yes, I've got the settings on the TV correct. I've also tried this with a Polaroid LCD TV connected via S-video and composite video.
    I did notice that when I click "Detect Displays" while the Plasma was connected, the plasma briefly "flashed", implying SOMETHING was happening, but still no dice.
    Anyone have any experience with this Dynex DX-AP100 that could share some wisdom?

    Yeah, I realize S-video is limiting, but I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible. The TV is mounted to the wall and there are not currently any DVI or HDMI cables coming out of it. There's an S-video input from my receiver that I'd prefer to use since it's readily accessible already. In the end my goal is to use Netflix "Watch Now" on the TV, so I'm not too worried about video quality.
    and before someone asks if I considered that the receiver's S-video input might be the problem...I tried taking the s-video wire from the stereo and plugging it directly into the adapter. No dice.
    ONE ADDITIONAL PIECE of information...while trying to get this to work on an LCD monitor, I plugged the composite video connection from the TV into the adapter. Suddenly the Mac recognized an additional monitor, but it saw it as a VGA monitor, not as s-video or composite video, and no signal went to the TV.
    I'm considering trading in this adapter for a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, but that really won't help me with the connection to the TV.

  • Netflix "Slo-Mo" with 2011 Mini Server and Yosemite

    I have recently run into a problem with my 2011 Mini Server and Yosemite.
    Now that I am using my Mini as a HTPC with Yosemite, when I first boot
    and then log into Netflix and start a movie or TV show, the playback
    runs in literally slow motion.  Video is slowed and audio is also slowed
    (like playing a 45 on 33 for those that remember).
    However, if I open display prefs and change refresh from 60Hz to 24Hz,
    and then change it back to 60Hz, all works well.
    Has any one else seen this issue and have a more permanent solution?
    Also, it doesn't matter if running Netflix under Silverlight or HTML5.

    Thanks, that's all very helpful.
    I would like to restore the Mini to its current condition since I've already done some installs and configuration on it--not a show stopper, just convenient if I don't need to redo some things.  One idea might be to use the online restore option to get a fresh OS install back and, presumably, recreate the recovery partion in the process, then restore the CCC over that, which would leave the recovery partition alone.
    Hmm. Things to ponder and maybe try.  I'm not too concerned about killing it and having to start over, so now might be a good time to experiment before I have too much time invested in configuring it. 
    Its purpose in life is to be a render node for 3D animation, so it's intended to be a minimal OS install anyway, just fast hardware and lots of disk storage (which is why I want the whole terabyte in one volume).

  • Kernel panics on LaCie external drive with Mac Mini

    Hi there.
    I recently purchased a LaCie external drive to use with my Mini. My intent was to boot from the LaCie drive and use the Mini for backup. Everything was working well until I upgraded the LaCie drive to 10.4.6. I started to get a kernel panic once a day. I reinstalled the OS (I have disks up to the 10.4) but held off doing software upgrades so I could try to isolate the cause of the kernel panic. I couldn't. I currently get the panic notice every few minutes, regardless of the version.
    I am planning on taking both drives to the Mac store on Monday, but am wondering what my options are. Is it okay to use the LaCie drive as my start-up or should I get a bigger drive installed in the Mini and use the Mini as my start-up instead?
    Is there any chance I can solve this kernel panic problem on my own? Reinstalling, running disk utilities, etc hasn't helped.
    Thanks for any insight you can provide.

    ok first off how big of external drive
    the reason i ask is this
    on some external inclosures designed for the mac mini exceed 120 gig to 220 gigs you will have some major issues one is kernal panic one is the mac os x desktop becomes unstable and certain applications will crash like utilitys and even system preferences
    and your dvd software will also have trouble playing dvds
    i ran into this on a g3 tower and the same thing happens on certain models of laptops but i have never heard of this happening on a mac mini this is a first

  • How can I get a video signal using IMAC 27 with only mini display port. I like to send the signal wireless to a TV using a TV/audio transmit system.

    I have an IMAC 27 with a mini display port ( only this). I also have all the adapters ( mini display port to VGA, HDMI...).
    Since I moved to UAE I like to transmit the signal frm my IMAC ( where I also look German TV on) to my TV. I will do so by using a wireless Transmit receive system with theree cinch inputs ( transmit system ( video, 2x voice).
    The distance to the TV IS ABOUT 10m and one wall. I don`t want to use a cable.
    Is there any solution for example mini display to VGA + VGA adapter to cinch so I can use the transmit system?
    HDMI would also be an optiekn, bat then I have to by another Transmit receive system.
    If somebody made already the experience I would appreciate to share the information
    Is there may be any store in UAE where to get support. It is very diificult to get good advice here. They sell everything bat can not reaaly explain and have very often  no technical knowledge. With this problem nobody until now can help me.

    I don't know what AppleTV can handle as far as bit rate is concerned, but increase the bit rate as high as it will let you. You are taking DV which is 25Mb/s and compressing it. If you're making an H.264, you should get great results needing no more than 6Mb/s. Bear in mind, the higher the bit rate, the larger the file size.

  • Possible to use external HD with 2 machines?

    Aloha all, I have been using an external HD with my MacBook to store librarys for iPhoto, & Aperture. It has worked great, but today I hit a snag. I cannot get the drive to show up when I plug it into my G5. I would like to be able to use it with both.

    Do you have a LAN that you can connect the two Macs to? If so then log into the MacBook from the G5 and select the external HD. That will let you access any of the libraries on the external HD. Just be sure to set the ownership of the external HD to be ignored as seen here.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How can I use external tables with directories not on Oracle host?

    Oracle 11.2.0.2
    We have developers using C# to populate global temporary tables (two one header and detail with 1 to many relationbship between these two tables). The process of using C# was blowing up memory on Windows.
    As an alternative I requested them to create two CSV files and I can use sqlldr to load the detail CSV file of over 1 million rows under 15 seconds. It came to my mind that I could use external tables for this purpose with getting read of header and trailer from the CSV files.
    The issue I have is that I am not a DBA so I do not have access to OS host that Oracle instance is running. sqlldr is a client side tool, whereas external tables are server side. I was wondering if there is an alternative in 11g to use external tables without creating directories on the OS host that Oracle runs on? Are there other alternatives?
    Thanks
