Using superdrive as an external for my macbook

I have a powerbook that died last year (spill). I was able to salvage the HD, and I was wondering if I can use the superdrive as an external for my macbook. If so, what kind of cable/adapter do I need.
Thanks in advance.

It's almost impossible.  The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that.  Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15.  In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum.  I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

  • I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.

    You should be able to.  As long as you are signed in to the same AppleID that has an available balance.  The services are linked.

  • Using Superdrive as an external burner for iMac

    I have an iMac flat screen (OS 10.4.6) Combo drive and an iMac (OS 10.2.8)with a SuperDrive. Can I use the older machine with the superdrive as an external drive for the newer machine?
    iMac Flat Screen   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    On your iMac flat screen you could use iDVD to make a disc image. Copy the disc image to your older iMac and use Disk Utility on that iMac to burn the DVD.

  • Using 2009 iMac as display for 2012 MacBook Pro

    I have a late 2009 27-inch iMac and a Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012 MacBook Pro.  How do I use the iMac screen as a display for the MacBook.

    Hi Jim on Apple,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you need to put your iMac in what is called Target Display Mode. The attached article has some great information on Target Display Mode including setting up and other common frequently asked questions.

  • Do I really need an optical drive (external) for my MacBook Air to install Win 7  with Bootcamp?

    I have a Macbook Air (11" if it matters, the tiny one) that was purchased late last year, new.  I would like to install Bootcamp and be able to boot into Windows 7, 64 bit.  I have a Windows 7 Professional disk, which I would have to find an optical drive of some sort to install.  The Boot Camp PDF guide doesn't mention the use of any kind of USB bootable install.  In fact, I often see (on Apple support pages) that an external optical drive is required for Macbook Airs.  
    Is this the case?  If not, does anyone have any advice on how to make sure this goes smoothly?  I'm a bit of a newbie to Macs.   Thanks.
    (Note: I didn't select my OSX operating system, but it's been updated regularly.)

    Thank you Rysz, but (if you scroll up & read my original post you will discover) I don't own my new MacBook Pro...yet!  I'm just researching ahead of time to help me make the decision.  The customized MBP I have saved in my cart is over $3000 (incl the 3-yr support plan).  So it's going to take me a little bit of research before I decide or before I can really justify the purchase.
    I just wanted to be prepared for all the inevitable technical / learning-curve headaches that I will experience IF I take the plunge.   And as everyone has experienced, when you're new to and making your first purchase of a different technology, and you don't know what to expect about a purchase, you ultimately get it home, set it up and find it didn't come with all the necessary interface devices, converters or cables, etc.  And of course the online purchase procedure wizard doesn't tell you or ask you what else you will need if you want to perform a specific task. 
    But I'm sure (if) once I do make the purchase, I will definitely be back here to pick everyone's brains!  These communities are fantastic.   Thanks again!

  • Using Disk Warrior on external drive causes MacBook crash

    I work on MacBook System 10.6.7, I back up to LaCie external drive, which I partitioned so that one partition is only for backup, the other is bootable. On this partition I have a clone of Disk Warrior (4.1), to use on the MacBook .
    Today I ran DW from the MacBook on the external drive for the first time, because lately it happens that the backup partition does not always appear in the finder (still performs back up though). I applied it first to the boot-partition,  and it told me there were some problems. When it got to replacing the directory, the computer crashed mid way.
    I performed Disk Verify on that partition through Disk Utility, and it said that it needed repair, and then that it did repair it. Checked other partition, no problem.
    Tried again to rebuild directory for the external drive, and both partitions caused the MacBook to crash. I then booted from the external drive to see if it works, and ran DW on the MacBook, and had no problem there.
    Anybody can tell me if it is the MacBook that caused the crash, or if the problem is with the external, and if there is anything else I can try to sort it out?
    thanks,

  • Can I use Front Row on external monitor with MacBook Pro's cover closed?

    I've seen that you can use the remote to control Front Row even when the lapatop's cover is closed (on a MacBook Air). Is it possible with a first generation MB Pro? Are there special settings?
    Thx

    You can use a MacBook Pro in "clamshell" mode if you have the AC adapter plugged in for power, an external display attached and an external keyboard and mouse (USB or Bluetooth) to wake the computer after it's been closed. This is the official word from Apple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131
    However, even if you don't have a keyboard and mouse, you should still be able to wake the MacBook Pro using the Apple remote by pressing the "menu" button. (You do still need to have the power plugged in and the display plugged in.)

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger for my macbook pro that came with an 60 watt charger?

    My charger broke a few weeks ago and i ordered another one on amazon and that broke within a week so i'm going to just buy another one from the apple store. But i dont want to wait to order one because i currently cant use my laptop since it died (i dont live near an apple store), but theres a store that sells apple products. they only have 85 watt for the laptops though. so would i be able to use that without ANY issues? I would rather order from the apple store than to buy something that can cause problems, so i just want to know if my macbook will be safe if i use an 85 watt instead of the 60 watt, which is what originally came with my laptop. Thank you.

    An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

  • Is it possible to use my snow leopard software for my macbook pro on an iMac or more iMacs?

    Here is the reason why i'm asking this question that sounds silly to me in a way...... i got the 2011 15.4inches macbook pro 2 weeks ago ..... it came with the last snow leopard os x but since the lion was out and i was eligible for an upgrade i got it striaght away for free in the apple store and did not use the snow leopard.... now here is the situation.... i was talking to a friend last night and he told me to give him the CD for the OS x snow leopard that he wanted to upgrade his imac to that....but i told him that i did not think that would work because in most cases i know even in windows os these kind of CDs are protected and are made for that pc it is installed on but he kept on insisting it would work and telling me how experienced he is in using a mac for 7 years and what ever cd protection happened to only pc and not mac(the funny thing is that he said he has experience but has never tried it before) so to cut the long story short i told him that i would get back to him....... so here i am again today asking a question that might even prove my thoughts right.....
    valuable community.....PLEASE IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE MY MACBOOK PRO OPERATING SYSTEM CD ON A FRIENDS IMAC?  because i dont believe it is possible because if it was, no one will ever upgrade to any os in a mac... they will just look for oppotunities to get it from a friend or family who has one.... hope im not the only one thinking that this question is a silly one lol....... please i really need your answers to show this experienced mac user of 7 years since he told me that i can install my os on more macs.... how possible it that...i dont know...
    Thanks in Advance for your replies

    Hi Chris,
    I'm guessing it's the "old" gray disc, which is usually hardware specific to your exact model. I'd keep it if I were you, you may want to install it.

  • Very slow wirelesss when using iPhone 4S' personal hotspot for a MacBook Pro (MBP)...

    Hello.
    Last night, I was helping a client with his old iPhone 4S' personal hotspot as shown in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4517 web page. It uses Verizon Wireless 3G for his 4 GB data cellular connection. We got the wireless (WPA2) connection to work fine, but it was very slow like crappy dial-up modem speeds. Is this normal? iPhone's iOS v8.1.2's top screen says 1X (is this a speed number?) and left of MBP. Updated Mac OS X 10.8.5's top screen shows an infinite(?) symbol instead of that wifi arc symbol.
    Thank you in advance.

    yes, 1x is a speed indicator, and it is very slow. Even with 3g speeds, hotspot will be pretty slow, but still ok for simple surfing and emails and such, streaming not so much. For hotspot, you really kinda want to have at least 4g, preferably LTE.
    About that 1x speed, you may want to see if you get that everywhere or just in that location. Ideally, in a good coverage area, you should not be getting such slow speeds. Might have something to do with the building you are in though. If you get the same outdoors, and your coverage area is good, you may want to call in and have someone troubleshoot your signal.

  • Imac has 2tb internal drive, can i use a 2 tb external for TM?

    I wiild like to use a 2 tb drive to backup my imac (2tb) with TM. Does time machine do a full disk backup or only the used memory? I haven't seen and drives larger than 2tb if this wont work.

    TM as any other backup tool backs up used disk space, not the whole disk capacity. how much data do you have on the internal drive? note that TM drive should generally be at least two times bigger than the total amount of data you are backing up. you might want to look at a RAID array to use as a backup drive if you don't satisfy that ratio. or you can use a different backup solution which doesn't require as much space on the backup drive. see this post by kappy for options

  • Can I use a G3 iMac hard drive as an external on my Macbook?

    Hopefully this didn't post twice, the forum is giving me problems when I hit post. So sorry if this is posted twice.
    Does anybody know if I would be able to use the internal hard drive on my G3 iMac (333mhz, OS 8.6) as an external on my late 2009 MacBook? Actually, all I really want are some of the files and pictures off my iMac. So it would only be used to transfer the data. But I'm afraid that since it's still 8.6, the MacBook wouldn't be able to read it.
    I booted my iMac up to give it a little exercise today and I've got some "zaps," so to speak, going across the screen. The last time this happened, the power supply went. They seemed to be happening a few minutes apart. So I don't have much time and I really don't want to cough up the money for a new power supply (if I could even find one). I don't think the iMac will survive the time it takes to transfer the data to my back up external for my MacBook. I specifically bought this external because it works with 8.6, but I didn't realize until after the fact that I had to format it using 8.6. So I'd have to go through reformatting to get the data onto the drive. Like I said above, I don't think I have that much time left on this power supply.
    Any help would be appreciated. I tried the networking thing, but I couldn't get the computers to see each other.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I bought on of these HD adapters http://tinyurl.com/7455nek to get the files off of a G3 Wallstreet laptop HD. I loaned it to my grandson so he could use it to get files off of a PC HD.
