Why would a MacBookPro have an unsupported Superdrive for iDVD?

That's the error message that comes up when iDVD is opened.
We've only used the burner for CDs so far . . .

but under Disc Burning it says
"No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly."
But it says MacBookPro right there under the screen . . .

  • MacBookPro with unsupported Superdrive for iDVD?

    Q. Why would a MacBookPro have an unsupported Superdrive for iDVD?
    A. If it's a MacBookPro, it shouldn't.
    Yet that's the error message that comes up when iDVD is opened.
    We've only used the burner for CDs so far . . .
    Q. What do you see about your disc drive when you:
    Under the 'Blue Apple' at top left select About this Mac>More Info...>ATA?

    I'm having the same problem - unsupported superdrive for iDVD. I've burnt a data DVD in itunes without a problem but I get the same message when I open iDVD and no option to burn a project.
    Has anyone found the answer to this?

    Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
    Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

  • I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

    I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

    Prior to going you can rent and download them on your iPad via its iTunes store app, or rent and download them on your computer's iTunes and connect and your iPad and move them to it - they will go in the iPad's Videos app.
    Some people have posted that they need to start playing rentals whilst they still have internet connection, so you may want to watch a few seconds prior to going offline - you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to watch a rental before it expires.

  • Why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    what does this mean ?
    Beta means it is unfinished, not fully featured and may have bugs.
    so is it not possible for siri to tell me the weather, and maps and businesses for Australia?
    That's correct. Nor will it do it for me in the UK. As it say's in the Siri FAQ I linked to:
    "Maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012."

  • I'm unable to update Firefox. operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items. I own the computer, why would I not have permission? This has happened other times and I don't know what it means.

    I just wanted to update firefox and it won't let me. I drag the icon into applications, then a window ask me if I want to replace older version. I click yes and the window mentioned above appears. I purchased this computer new, I'm the only owner. Why would I not give myself permission to do something on my own computer.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Why would a control have the customize option dimmed out when it is right clicked?

    A numeric control in one of the examples has the customize option dimmed out when right clicked. Why would that be? Is there a way to get it into the control editor or saved as a control?

    Just to clarify my earlier statement:
    While customization was greyed out prior to LabVIEW 8.0 for items in the dialog (=system) palette, even LabVIEW 8.0+ does not allow much customization. For example if I try to customize the "System Numeric" control, the "wrench" is still greyed out and the only thing I can do is resize the control horizontally in the control editor.
    This is as expected!
    Dialog (system) controls inherit their visual appearance from the OS, and the same control will look different under Windows XP, Windows 2000, or MAC, etc. They adapt to the desktop theme, including fonts, font colors, and other colors, etc.. The attached Image shows the same pair of controls and how they change appearance if I switch the desktop theme between "Windows XP" and "Windows Classic".
    Customization would make no sense, because the appearance is determined by the OS, not by you.

  • Why would I not have sufficient privleges on my own computer to start Apple Mobile Device Service?, why would I not have sufficient privleges on my own computer to start Apple Mobile Device Service?

    I performed the most recent update of iTunes, but it did not install properly. I uninstalled iTunes, then reinstalled, but now I am getting an error that states: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privleges to start system privleges." I am the owner of this computer and do not understand why I would not have sufficient privleges to start a service on my computer. Any help would be very much appreciated!

  • I downloaded a toolbar expecting certain help, not seeing the help I wanted I uninstalled the prouduct, why would I still have the toolbar ready and waiting for me to use after i have uninstalled it

    Dear Firefox
    I have just sent mail to a friend and found that the HTML backgrooung file is inactive amongst mant others, am sure I used it just yesterday.
    I tried to regain this file and I was directed to download the toolbar from BrotherSoft Extreme Community and did not see any direction to what I was loking for other than it piling my already weak XP PC with more toolbars, so I immeadiatly uninstalled it.
    It's still here, so does this mean it has other guises for me to find.
    Please help me with this.
    Thank You

    Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

  • Why would a user have limited access to file sharing

    I just upgraded to Mavericks and server 3. But now users can't log in. I look at the "access to server" option for the user and it shows this (see screen capture included here )
    I tested all this out on a testing server, but not with these specific accounts. This is simply an upgrade from 10.8.5 to Mavericks.
    Running a MacMini server. 2.6 GHz i7 processor. 16GB ram.
    Your help is appreciated.

    Thank you for the idea. given our time constraints we've decided to head back to 10.8.5 and deal with things later, possibly much later. Though I had failed to remember Maverick's switch to preferring SMB. Though one would think that type of thing is covered in the upgrade automatically.
    In the end, the sharing thing did work itself out, but the users couldn't log in and when I went to change a password for a user, the button to accept the password change would do nothing, it'd just sit there with the new password typed into the two boxes and the button was useless. Since you have to click out of that box to do anything else I had to force quick server.app and that's when I decided it was too buggy to mess with and I'd just go back to what I know and almost trust.

  • Why does not apple have the same Support for customers in India like they have in UK ?

    Hi ,
    I was settled in Uk and now recently shifted to india, but here i see that there is a difference in the customer service support . I am under Guarantee from apple and any problem i used to have back in UK could be sorted over the phone possible. Like i used to have an option to recieve a call from apple support and get my issues solved if they were software issues. But here in India i see that any issues that i face i would have to take it to the Store. Well it gets a little irritating . Would like to know why the support is different in different places.
    Thanks

    I doubt if anyone here can answer your question as to why this is so. There is a phone support number in India, however - (91) 1800 4250 744.
    Best of luck.

  • Why doesn't itunes have 320 kbps listed for ripping audio tracks from CD as one of the default options?

    Now I know you can ignore the defaults and create custom settings for ripping audio from CD's, but I'm curious why the good folks at apple didn't add 320kbps as a default. I figured it would be a default option since 320 kbps seems to be the standard for good quality when it comes to CD rips.
    Am I wrong here? Anyone have any ideas?

    Apple hasn't stated why it's not a default option.
