What kind of interface does the Combo drive on a 17" iMac use?

I found a "universal" adaptor for drives and I was wondering if I could plug the Combo Drive from a 17" iMac (1.6GHz) into it. Here's the adaptor/interface

I am familiar with Newer Technology, and their products are good. I suggest contacting them to make sure your drive is compatible, it looks as if it should be, but call to make sure.

What kind of technology does the internal microphone use?

Does the internal mic use USB, Bluetooth, or analog technology. (Rosetta Stone voice recorder/analyzer is crashing app)

I am having the same problem with Rosetta Stone voice recorder/analyzer activity. RS told me to wait before going to the next window in the exercise but this did not help. I had the same experience with an older Mac laptop. I will follow up with Apple under warranty.

What kind of usb does the new iPad use?

Wondering if they bumped it up to USB2 or not.
Thanks

Wow, never would I have expected such a quick reply. Thanks, people. But maybe I should be a bit more clear about what I'm asking and why.
I'm a musician who is involved in recording, making music, and sometimes field recording. I have a first generation iPad. The 30-pin dock, if I understand correctly, supports a USB protocol, USB1, but not USB2. USB 1 is not fast enough to support stereo recording at high bit rates (ie 24bit/44.1 khz). I was wondering if they bumped the spec up to the USB 2 protocol, whoch would allow manufacturers to design recording interfaces to handle the higher bit rates.
Thanks

Trying to wipe the hard drive on a G5 iMac, using an external DVD drive as the one in the iMac is broken.

I'm trying to boot up with the OS (or install) disk, from an external DVD drive as the one in the iMac is broken. When the computer boots up, my normal desktop appears, but also the Mac OSX (Tiger) install disk. When I double-click on the "Install Mac OSX" icon, a screen comes up that says: "Click the button below to restart & begin the install process". The iMac restarts, but just goes back to where it was, & I'm prompted to: "Click the button below to restart & begin the install process".
So far there is no way to "begin the install process", I just keep going around in circles with this. I'm doing this so I can sell the computer. I hope I've made it clear, and TIA for any advice.

I looked at the disk utility erase option. The wording looked a little vague. Seemed to me to erase all the disk including the data if you pick one pass, but I am not sure.
but that is contradicted when you see you have to pick the correct option.

What causes CD's played in combo drive through iTunes to skip?

When I play an audio CD in my eMac combo drive through iTunes, just about every disc I play skips? When I play them on my home stereo CD player or my DVD player in audio mode they all play fine. What could be causing this?

Hey Matt,
Some of my CD's have slight surface flaws, but the oversampling by the combo drive should take care of that. It does in my video DVD-in-audio-mode player and in my home stereo CD player which does 4x oversampling.
Songs in iTunes do not skip. The skipping is also not the "Max Headroom" type of digital stuh-tuh-tuh-tuttering. It is more like the audio intermittently cutting in and out.
I did some more troubleshooting and discovered that part of the problem was a loose connector. The 3.5mm plug from my external speaker system was not making good contact with the audio out port on my Mac.
The other part of the problem I discovered was that in one of the CD's I was listening to the recording has a sampled vinyl LP in it. The original LP had slightly audible surface scratches on it, and the original analog tape studio recording had dropouts in it. It just sounds real different when played on my Mac through my Klipsch speakers. Here's to that old audio engineering trick where the recording studio mixdown is done through Yamaha studio monitors with the idea that if the engineer can make Yamaha studio monitors sound good, the recording will sound good on everything else. The audio engineer on the Cinematic Orchestra CD titled Every Day apparently didn't use Yamaha nearfield studio monitors
After jiggling the audio connector, Genesis' Selling England by the Pound sounds fantastic once again. Thanks for your input, it helped point me in the right direction. I'll also try cleaning the contacts on my Mac's audio out port with some contact cleaner.
Thanks,
John

New mac mini won't accept dvd's/cd's in the combo drive

Hello friends:
i have a new mac mini that I bought about 2 months ago (Intel, 2.0 ghz). Everything was working fine until I went to put in a DVD today. The combo drive won't accept a disc. It's not that it won't read the disc, it physically won't suck it into the drive. Instead it just sits there. If I try and push it in, nothing happens... it just bounces back out at me as if pushed by a spring. And, no, there isn't already a disc in the drive.
Can anyone suggest how to get my combo drive to work again?

Hi jrm27,
I have an older Mac Mini 1.66 GHz, but I haven't seen this problem.
I take it that the disc does go in a little way. I would think that that rules out that the drive thinks there's a CD already in the drive. I know that when I have a CD or DVD in the drive, the little doors (they're really there) are closed and won't let me insert a 2nd CD.
I presume that you have restarted your system since this started to occur?
When the system is rebooting, hold down the mouse button. This is supposed to force eject a CD. It might also trick your system into thinking there's no CD there, or resetting something.
Try different types of CDs or DVDs, just to make sure that there's not something screwy with the media that you are using. Try an old-fashioned music CD or something.
Are there any sounds the drive makes?

The role for a coherence node is normally determined by the application. The tangosol.coherence.role system property is used to configure this value. Some out-of-the-box Coherence applications. CacheFactory (com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory) sets this value to CoherenceConsole. DefaultCacheServer sets this value to CoherenceServer. MBeanConnector sets the value to TangosolNetMBeanConnector.

Would the combo drive (optical) of Apple Powebook g4 15 inch will fit in Macbook pro 15 A1150?

Would the combo drive (optical) of Apple Powebook g4 15 inch will fit in Macbook pro 15 A1150?
I have an problem with the combo drive of my macbook pro 15 inch A1150. i also happen to have Powerbook G4 15 inch.
I was just wondering if i can jst swap the drives would it work?

It might work, but the drive in the Powerbook (depending on which PB model it is) is probably much less capable than the one in the MBP was, so I don't recommend the swap.
What is the problem with the drive in your MBP? Maybe we can help you solve that.

Is there a manual eject button for the combo drive on the mini?

My angel of a 3 year old has managed to force two dvds into the combo drive, bless her, and so none of the software solutions to ejecting discs is much use to me, I'm afraid.
There's a soft, black button to the right of the disc slot, but I don't want to force anything until it's confirmed that it is indeed some kind of manual eject.
Otherwise, I guess it's back to base ...
Many thanks for any help.
Ian

Hi Boece and IanB1967-
There is no manual eject mechanism, however one may be able to manually remove a disk from the drive albeit with varied results.
If two are stuck this may cause mechanical as well as electronic malfunctions within the drive itself. While an external is an excellent idea I think it is important to undo whatever damage has been done.
If you are daring enough you can open up the mini and replace the optical drive yourself. If under warranty or AppleCare just let them do it, even if they try to hit you for a charge. A firm yet polite stand may get you somewhere, as it is very difficult to actually jam 2 disks into a slot-loading drive.

I recently purchased a new iMac with an external drive. I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac. Comments? Help?

I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive. I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac. I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern. May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure? Comments? Help?

If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

Is the combo drive noisy?

Any MacBook users with the combo drive (not Superdrive) find it's noisy and/or vibrates when inserting and playing CDs/DVDs?
Is this normal? Anybody had their's fixed for this?

Mine is noisy when I insert and take out CDs. It sounds like a bug is being slaughtered in there. The guy at Apple said it's normal to make sounds when inserting and taking out discs.
