Why my DVD does not read the installation DVD?
My MacBook's DVDROM recently behaves differently. It still plays regular DVDs and CDs, but is unable to recognize its original installation DVDs. However, I can attach an external DVDROM to my MacBook, which can recognize the installation DVDs. What is wrong with the MacBook DVDROM?
I greatly appreciate your help.

Linda,
Since DL is built into the hardware, there's little you can do if your drive doesn't have it. Other than buying an external drive that does.
To check your drive, click the icon in the menubar and select "about this Mac".
In the screen that appears, click "more info". In the next screen look under "hardware" and click "disc burning". This should show your drives capabilites. Look for -R DL or +R DL.
Regards

The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?
Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
(What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

I update my Mac to version 10.9.2 and now my printer does not work anymore. I did all the software updates and I do not understand why my mac does not recognize the printer anymore?
Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

Hi, we have a G5 Blade server running OS X 10.5.8 with adual Fibre Channel card. The OS does not read the card and cannot establishconnection to the RAID controller.
I have tried to move the card to another port with no luck.Ran all the updated software possible. Please can someone adviceHi,
Was the card previously working in that machine? If it was and you have a G5 tower you could try the card in there. Here is a list of Apple fibre cards and cables which show what's compatible with what. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1769
The card should appear in the System Profiler under Fibre Channel and PCI Cards.
All the best

Uninstaller utility does not remove the installation from the registry
In our environment, we publish a script in Group Policy so that both the ActiveX and Plugin installs for flash player are easily installed for staff that have limited user access on their computers. I usually remove or replace the old MSI files from the path the above script installs from when I get new versions of Flash Player. For a while, I've run into a problem where when the new MSI files are installed, they try to uninstall the existing installation and fail because the old MSI file is no longer at the original installation source path. I've tried to remedy this by having the script use the uninstall_flash_player utility to manually remove the activex and plugin first, but this utility does not remove the installation details of each from the registry, and the subsequent installations of the MSI files fail. I have to uninstall the existing flash player installations first or perform a registry hack to formally remove the installation from Windows, and then the new installation will succeed.
Does anybody have any advice for making this process work better? Would this be considered a bug with the uninstaller tool?Hi, Until someone can reply to your thread/question, you may want to see this thread.

"The installed product does not match the installation source" error
Each time I attempt to use the SL disk to update the Apple drivers in Windows XP SP3 on my MacBook Pro 13" I get the error message posted in the title. I used this same disk successfully to update my MacPro. Anyone know what this means?
"The installed product does not match the installation source. Until a matching osurce is provided or the installed product and source are synchronized, this action can not be performed."I get the same error, and I have an idea of what's going on.
When I try to install Boot Camp 3, Windows asks me to locate "BootCamp.msi". If I try to uninstall Boot Camp via "Add/Remove Programs", the same prompt comes up.
What I think is happening is that the original installer for Boot Camp 2.0 is being requested. But I have applied the Boot Camp 2.1 update, which has no BootCamp.msi file associated with it.
So I'm at a road block of sorts, unable to install Boot Camp 3.0. I cannot download the original Boot Camp 2.0 installer from Apple, only the 2.1 update. (I recently moved across the country and didn't bring my 10.5 media.)
Any ideas out there on what can be done to get Boot Camp 3.0 installed?

SYSHi,
the column object_name refers to a object_name which is 'JOBS', the column owner refers to the owner 'HR', the value isn't stored together, so you have to select the two columns. It is the same behaviour as every other table/view. Have a look at the values in the view DBA_OBJECTS.

Trying to install Yosemite but does not complete the installation
i have a MacBook pro 13 inch, with Mavericks on it. I downloaded yosemite and started the installation. It runs through most of it and then during the last two minutes it doesnt seem to finish. It has been sitting on "2 minutes remaing" for a couple of hours now. Suggestions? Thanks.
My guess is something is wrong on your disk drive. If you can you should quit the installer. Here are three ways. One should work for you.
If the installer's icon is in your Dock, the CTRL- or RIGHT-click and see if you can successfully quit from there.
Press COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to open the Task Manager. Select the installer's entry and click on the Force Quit button.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Click on the Name titlebar to display alphabetically. Select the entry for the Installer then click on the Quit button.
Hopefully, this will get you out of the installer without deleting the installer. Now restart the computer to see if you can, and if it's booting your old system or the new one. If it's the latter then do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Restart the computer.
Now, run the installer again. Hopefully, it will run all the way through now. -
Input sream does not read the entire dat
when i read the response from the socket connection, it reads only the part of the response.
iS=soc.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream bufIn = new BufferedInputStream(iS);
BufferedReader inp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(bufIn));
char[] res=new char[32000];
inp.read(res,0,res.length);
why it reads only a part of the response?Use readFully() from DataInputStream (this will read bytes, so you'll have to convert that to what you need) or manually force it to read the whole thing (if the array is not full, force the reading of the remaining part)...

I just upgrade to Firefox 4, but why I cannot find the web mail notifier envelope in the task bar?
Hello there, DianelCarter.
From the sound of it, you're not seeing the banner at the top of the body of your email that has incorrectly been marked as junk. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some steps to try if you're not seeing those features:
Mail (Mavericks): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14937
Ultimately, if the basic steps don't help resolve your issue, you may want to reset the Junk Mail preferences to give the database a fresh start:
If the problem persists, click Reset in Junk Mail preferences to reset the junk mail database to its original information. Resetting the database removes everything Mail has learned from you about what is junk or not junk, so you need to help Mail identify junk mail again.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
