I was hoping you could recommend me a Blu-Ray burner for my new Mac Pro.
From what I've found, these are the top 2 choices:

The second one is external - I prefer internal that I can drop into the Mac Pro. But it does have LightScribe - nice! Maybe there's something out there that is internal AND has LightScribe? Who here has installed a blu-ray burner into their Mac Pro?
I have a 1st generation MacPro with a Quad Xeon and 5 GB RAM. I need to get a blu ray burner. Does anyone out there know of a good quality burner that I can get for my machine? I've been looking online but I haven't been able to figure out which one is mac compatible.

Does anyone know of a very good external Blu ray burner for a Mac??
Anyone have a BD Burner that they use on their Mac Books or Mac Book Pro? I am interested in getting one to backup my images, I am a photographer and shoot in the RAW format. I also just purchased a new camera, where the uncompressed images are anywhere from 20-30MB a photo. So projects tend to be quite large.
if i wanted to get a blu-ray reader/ burner for my mac pro i will need drivers for it. Makes sense. Here is the issue all the blu-ray drives i see that are supposedly for mac do not seem to come with drivers. I have also seen people say all you need is a software such as toast titanium for Blu-Ray.
I want to put blu-ray movies on my mac and convert them to HD so i can stream them. so i need a blu-rayu drive.
This is all running on a 27" iMac Core i7 via firewire, and daisy chained off my GuardianMax RAID drive.
This combo works great for ripping and playing, however, i do have one problem. When the player is on and i need to either reboot or shut down the system just hangs. It won't proceed until i power down the bluray burner.
i recently updated to mac 10.3.9 and my cd burner won't work anymore. under system software is says disc burning is not supported with my iomega CDRW86522EXT3-B: how can this be? earlier in the year it worked fine, and I did burn discs. What happens now is that sometimes it says that my disc isn't supported, and if I do get throught the burning nothing plays on my regular compact disc players. (I'm burning audio files)
I have Mac OS X 10.4.11. with an internal Pioneer DVR-106D CD/DVD burner. I "capture" opera performances on-line, edit them with CD Spin Doctor 2, send it to Toast where it is then burned to disc. I have been doing this for years with no problems. This past week I started receiving the following message "sense key=medium error. Sense code= OX73, OX03". I tried several different CDs and had three different brands which always did work but stopped working...Philips CD-R, TDK, Memorex Black CD-R. I had two Maxell CD-Rs and they worked. I purchased a cleaning disc hoping that cleaning the lens would correct the problem. Still none of the previously mentioned CD-Rs would work and I was unable to purchase additional Maxell discs locally. At Sam's Club I purchased Verbatim CD-R, placed one in the computer.....and it worked. For almost a week I've been able to burn CDs once more, until tonight. Again, I used the cleaner disc plus retried some of the other brands of CD with the same results...no burn. When I tried burning a disc with iTunes, I received the following message "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibate the laser power level for this media."
I can no longer burn DVD's on my PowerPC G5 with 10.5.8, but can no longer do it as well on my Macbook Pro with OS 10.6--are all internal Superdrives now non functioning!!?? I've wasted many DVD's and no successes, just error messages and failures to burn.

I'm looking to set some virtual hosts up in Terminal. I'm accessing the set up fine (sudo nano /private/etc/hosts)
But I can't figure out what I need to do in order to enter IP addresses and URL's. None of the HotKeys listed at the bottom of the screen seem to give me what I want.
I have been asked to send some photos to company, and to watermark them as property of that company. I have never done it before, and indeed am not sure what it exactly means. I think it mean it will have invisible data in the files metadata stating " Property of..." etc.
How can I do this.....clear and simple please as I'm no expert.
I get internet through my apartment's LAN cable which they provide. I've got a few devices so I need a router. Can I just get any wireless router and plug in that LAN cable and it will work?
Ive just been watching a YouTube video about adding colors to Folders, when the guy in the video clicks View he gets this .. the bottom option to change the background missing
has any one an idea why my change background option is missing and how to get it back. I am running 10.6.5
I need a bit of insight as to how to maximize the performance (and if there is any) with dual display setups on both my MP1,1 and 5,1.
First off, MP 5,1. Currently I'm running a 30" ACD off a DVI and 23" of a MDP to DVI on a 5870. The 30" is my main work display - the 23" is pretty much running trivial things, like browsers, finder, iTunes, etc. Since VRAM is being split between the two displays, would I benefit from installing a second video card to just run the 23" monitor and dedicate the 5870 to just run the 30" ACD? If yes, what should I use? I have an old 7300, but If there's anything better out there that's non cable powered, I'll get it. Also, there are times (rarely) when I need to run Windows 7-64bit to do some 3d CAD work - would having video cards from different vendors (hence different drivers) cause W7 to go nuts (conflicts, etc)? I can live with just the 30" on W7. I want to get get the most out of 5870 and 30" ACD while not running into conflicts under OS X by introducing another video card.
Second, MP 1,1. It's windows 7 64-bit machine only. I have OS X installed, but since I use it for work I never boot into it. It's running a 27" display (1920x1200) on DVI and 23" (1680X1050) on MDP to DVI adapter. Again, the bigger display is my work area, and the smaller one runs browsers, outlook, etc. I do 3d CAD work, so more VRAM I dedicate to my main display, better it is. So back to my original question...what are my options? I do have that 7300 hanging around, but, again, I'm not so thrilled on mixing video card vendors and drivers. Should I just get some sort of low grade Windows based ATI Radeon card (don't care much of OS X on that machine).
I am familiar with CMD M combination to minimize screens. This is not doing the trick. I experience that I have to use this command several times as some programs just want minimize based on one command. It requires that one makes the programs active by clicking the cursor and than use cmd M again.
Is there yet another command that results in a an immediate desktop view.
I noticed my "spotlight" icon has a pulsing dot in the center of the magnifying glass icon....when I click on it there is a progress bar and it is perpetually "indexing" my hard drive.
Whats this mean? Is my HDD going to fail? Its been going on like this for months. Running Drive Utility, Techtool or Disk Warrior doesn't fix it.
I fixed permissions and repaired the disk off the Snow Leopard book disk, problem persists.
I installed windows xp on bootcamp and it completely screwed up my os x partition. Everything's still there, but when I boot up it's an endless loop of blue screens ... So I'm just going to reinstall.
I had to boot from, the disk.. And there aren't any options to archive documents, like there was when I upgraded my pc to windows 7 I did a clean install but there was a folder called windows.old.
Some other threads said that it does automatically and other says it doesn't.

I have a new 2010 MBP and I'd like to hook up two external monitors to it, more specifically, two ASUS VW246H 24-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitors. Either via HDMI or DVI connections. I've found various usb monitor adapters, but i've read that many can't quite 'keep up' and I really can't seem to find a solid solution out there. So does anyone have a dual monitor setup they currently use, if so, what are you using to connect the mini display port to both external monitors.
Sometimes when I'm using Safari, and I scroll the page up and down, its not a very smooth scroll, it kind of lags a little. Especially when the page is still loading.
Actually this happens on both my iMac and Macbook Pro, so I'm starting to think that this is normal, and it might be because I don't have the fastest broadband connection. Because when I take my MBP to my mom's house, Safari is always smooth, and she has a pretty fast connection there.
Also, when I go to certain forums, and there a lot of GIF. images, it lags a lot.
is it possible to set "loop" movies & audio files in quicklook so that you don't need to press play again all the time? is there anywhere a setting or "workaround" (aka "break" into some pref-file and set the preference somewhere to "loop")
I was wondering wat the recommended temperature for the macbook 13". I've got SMC fan control and it shows mine it 56C but i set it to Higher setting but it doesn't stay onto the minimum speed i set it.
I installed it fine everything is perfect. I cant get my audio to work need the drivers and I cant find them online. can someone point me in the right direction?
I was very excited like everyone to install new Safari 4 and the excitement sustained for a while. Ubiquitously, it is visually delightful meeting Apple Standards. However, I lost lot of plugins that I had for earlier Safari version. Plugins like: DivX player, Real player are gone after I installed the new version. It is not recognizing by itself if there are missing plugins and neither I see an option where I can install by myself.
