Wondering if my dvd writer is the good one
I got a Presario SR1234nx desktop and it's indicate that in it there's a DVD writer Lite-on dvddrw sohw 832S double layer but on my computer it doesn't accept 8.5 GB. Is there a manner to find if I've got a really lite-on drive without opening my computer, or is there a trouble with windows XP or the drive itself.
Is there someone to help me?
thanks
Click on Start and then Control Panel.
Click on the Performance and Maintenance link.
Note: If you're viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simple double-click on the System icon and proceed to Step 4.
In the Performance and Maintenance window, click on the System icon near the bottom of the window.
In the System Properties window, click on the Hardware tab.
With the Hardware tab selected, click on the Device Manager button.
Then look for DVD/CD ROM Drives and click on the plus sign. That will show you what DVD writer model you have insalled.

Hi all,
As I went on www.icloud.com, it asked me to switch my apple id username to a email address. I dit it but I forgot a letter, so the mail address is wrong. I want to change it but when I enter the good one, it tells me that I'll receive a confirmation e-mail to validate the good e-mail address.
I did this plenty of times over the 5 past hours, and I never got a email to validate.
Does somebody know if it's a server-side issue of if there's some way to past through this ?
Thanks a lot,
BenTHE email is going to THE wrong one you keyed in

Opening my iPad2 I have an "Exchange " window asking me my password. I'm (almost) sure I type the good one, but it doesn't accept it. Unable to go around it, so iPad useless... How can I recover/check my password on my home PC (or make that window disappear ?
That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it... -
Name on dev. licence program is not the good one
Hi, I try to buy the IOS developer licence, but my name is not the good on the systeme, it's my old name, I follow the link to "my account" to change it, and in fact, in "my account", it's the good one. I'm sure I changed it more than one year ago, why the name in the subscription licence is not the good one ? Because of this I can't buy the licence because the name for credit card is not the good. Someone have an idea ?
I would suggest contacting Apple Developer Support directly.

Moving clouds in the sky... the good one.
Hi,
i've search a lot, but no one has the closest match to what i
am looking for. I've seen this on several sites even before version
8 was released. but is there anyone who ever knew how to move a
cloud in a sky background as seemless?
i knew the cloud panoramic trick but it's obvious that it
only moves sideways and you can see them enlarge when you also
enlarge it a little when tweening.
but i've seen some sites that clouds are moving
perspective-ly not sideways, not up and down, not getting big, but
moves perpectively and the cloud edges almost diffuses like smoke.
I've actually opened a fla file of it. but only got this in
the library:
two actual jpeg pix of a similar background color of a cloud.
the first one alpha offs in a couple of frame then the second
one alpha on to the last frame.
then then there are symbols (pressumed converted) unnamed so
it's named default symbol1 symbol 2 etc.
and when I press my keyboard's arrow key down to browse the
symbols it technically is the animation you'll see in the swf file.
but then at the stage the movie that was dragged there was
only the the movieclip of the 2 pix on alpha pic one alpha100 to
alpha 0 then pic two from alpha 0 to 100.
even if i change the movieclip instance to "graphic- play
once" when i play the timeline it only plays the alpha.
but when it's exported to swf it plays the clouds moving like
the symbols browsed consecutively as if it was screenshot-ed every
movement and converted to symbols per movement.
I'm looking for actionscripts but there is none except for
the loading bar.
now in any case i might suspect that the cloud movement was
taken from another program then i should see sequenced jpegs in the
library but i don't, only sequenced symbols with the movement of
the clouds in they sky, seems so real as it was in movies when the
sky is shown and the time is fast forwarded to see the cloud
movements.
that is the cloud movement i wanna know and not the cartoon
cloud, not the panoramic cloud that moves sideways and alpha ins
and out to another pano cloud. etc.
hope you understand and im sure you have seen several of what

anyone who ever knew :)
If it was not the case than you would not see it many times
online, would you ?

That is not flash and you right it was long before flash 8.
As soon flash came
out with movie clip, somewhere back 9 years ago, we were
importing images sequence
made in other programs, usually after effects. It allow nice
clouds looping
and cross fading making seamless loops.

maybe is a video clip, FLV imported to flash. It contains
multiple frames which
you can't explore in flash, you will only see it as single
file.

correct assumption, flash just does not do stuff like that.
Making cross alphas on multiple
images, tween and whatnot is just over kill compare to
importing images sequence.
It's way smoother on performance - if reasonable size, and
simply easier and faster with
nicer result.

just as explained above, after effects and exported into
images sequence.

I use Entourage as Mail sender. I don't use the adress book.
When I tip a wrong adress and make the correction, the old one stays in the memory of my computer ( apple I Mac ).
When I wish to send a new message to the same adress, the wrong one appears in the same time , and some time I don't remember wich is the good one .

I can highly recommend migrating to the Address Book. You won't have the typo'ed history in your email.

Portege A100 - problems recognising a new DVD writer
Hi,
I am attempting to replace the Panasonic/Matsu****a UJDA750 combo drive with a LiteOn SOSW-852S DVD writer. The LiteOn is CSEL, and is not recognized by the Portege A100. I've tried changing it to Master/Slave/CSEL and Inverse CSEL using E2MS_WIN_SOSW-852S.exe (in an Acer Travelmate 220, which sees every configuration), but the Portege A100 still doesn't recognize the LiteOn.
I ran IDEDIAG using a WinME boot CD, and the Matsu****a Combo drive in the Portege reports as Secondary Master. So, I tried flashing the LiteOn drive (using the Acer Travelmate as the platform) with MTKFlash version 183c using the command ??mtkflash 3 w /b PRS9.bin" (using the original backed-up firmware), "3" to change the drive to Secondary Master. I ran into problems here - the flash appeared to lock up. The drive is still ok, however. I flashed it back to the original CSEL ok using the E2MS program in the Acer.
I haven't tried bridging pins 45 to 47 on the LiteOn - I figured that was maybe a last resort.
So - can you help with the correct configuration for a CD/DVD drive in the Portege A100? There's a bunch of different ones - Primary/Secondary/Tertiary/Quarternary Master/Slave, CSEL and Inverse CSEL. The Portege A100 "sees" the Matsu****a CDROM model CR-176_B from the Acer.
Or - can you recommend a suitable DVD burner for this laptop?I successfully changed the SOSW-852S Lite-On to suit the Portege A100 by bridging terminals 45 & 47 at the IDE socket on the Lite-On.
I tried it first with a piece of foil externally to see if it worked, then used a fine soldering iron (and a magnifying glass) to bridge said terminals internally.
From what I can find out, this hard wires the Lite-On to Master.
I was also able to flash the Lite-On firmware to different configurations by using MTKFlash and E2MS_WIN_SOSW-852S.exe, i.e. Master/Slave/CSEL/Inverse CSEL. This didn't make a difference to the Portege A100.
Anyway, it works. Trying to find the correct configuration for a new CD/DVDROM to a laptop is like pulling teeth.

New DVD writer on Satellite M40-193 uses 100% CPU
Hello anyone,
recently I have replaced my DVD-writer with a new one. My laptop is a Satellite M40-193 (PSM40E-06M026IT) and the original drive is a Mat****a UJ-831B. I have replaced it with a Sony-Nec Optiarc AD-7633A because I like the slot-in feature and the Labelflash feature.
Unfortunately it makes me a problem. It will use 100% CPU every time I use it. I cannot figure out the problem. Is there anyone who can help me? It is a software problem or hardware?
Thank you.After six days this is the only help I can get on this forum: "...this optical disc drive is compatible with your notebook model?".
The ATA communication bus is a standard.
The exsistence of a compatibility list does not means that ONLY those drives present in the list can work with the relative notebook.
Those drives are the ones tested and the ones that Toshiba says: "this drive surelly work" but not says "this is the only drive that work".
In fact I have RESOLVED the question with a little software I have found on another forum and now my drive works perfectly and I have a newer and more featured drive than those in the list.
Thank you Mike -
Hi,
I am fairly new to the mac world of things, and my current imac is the built in cd-rw however I want to use a portable firewire dvd-writer. The difficulties I have is that there seems to be only one model list and I want to know if most will work? (e.g. are they plug and play) the only application I want to use it with is idvd.
any help would be appreciated and suggested model that you know work?
thanks
jamieHi and thanks for taking the time to reply.
Nope with a cd in or out this drive is just not recognised which is a real shame.
Looked at various solutions and believe it may be a power issue?
The drive powers up ok but is just not showing on the system profiler.
Any ideas or halo would be most welcome
Thanks in advance. -
New Macs can't power Samsung DVD writer SE-208
I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and an iMac (both OS 10.10.1), and a Samsung protable DVD writer model SE-208. Whenever I plug the DVD writer into the USB port of either machine I get the message "USB devices disabled. Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices". This happens even if the DVD writer is the only device plugged into the computers.
Any suggestions?You do not need to put the DVD in the chain to mirror your iPod to your TV. You merely need the Apple digital adapter and an HDMI cable. You connect the adapter to the iPad, one end of the HDMI cable to that adapter and the other to an HDMI input on your Grundig.
You cannot connect the DVD to the iPad.
You really need to look at Samsung's forum for help with your drive.
There is no UK version of the ASC.
Happy Christmas to you.
