OS X V10.7 Lion :: Samsung SE-S084F DVD Burner, Used With It For Months Is Now Suddenly Unsupported?
Apr 15, 2012
My Samsung SE-S084F dvd burner, used with lion for months is now suddenly unsupported... how can it be possible? I can now read cd/dvd but trying to burn them gives me "Internal error". Disk Utility report: "Burn support: not supported". I burned my last dvd three days ago, running lion 10.7.3. The only thing I can think of is a software update done few days ago, something about java. Samsung says that lion isn't officially supported, but i've used it a lot and I know it works… Things that i've tried:1) reboot2) firmware update3) many different burning software including "drutil" from the shell4) I've tested the device on another computer (ubuntu 11) and it works like a charm Additional information (drutil info):
I have a MacBook Pro ca. 2010. It's on 10.7.2. For the past few months I've been fighting this particular problem, and have not been able to get a solution on other Mac forums. Hopefully someone here has some insight. Every time I start or restart the Mac it restores the desktop, including the dock and apps, to a state from a few months ago. It opens Safari, iPhoto, System Preferences and the Real Player Downloader (which I just this moment deleted). iPhoto immediately wants to repair its database, Safari opens the tabs that were open that day, and System Preferences goes to Network.
I have tried deleting the folders in /username/libraray/application saved states. I have locked that folder. I have unchecked the option in Preferneces, and I always uncheck the option to save states when shutting down. Based on a suggestion from a user elsewhere I repaired disk permissions on the hard drive.
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Is there any reason to wait several months for the next OS update? I presently use Snow Leopard on all my machines, but using ICloud on my IOS devices is pushing me to a download of Lion. I just don't want to pay for it again in June or July.

So I got my copy of Snow Leopard today and installed it fine on my 1st-Gen Mac Pro, then rebooted into Vista x64 to load the Bootcamp 3.0 drivers. I immediately get an Installation Error that says "BootCamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model." So I go to the Apple support web site, which has a document dated 6/9/09 referring to MacOS 10.5 (not Snow Leopard 10.6) and that only Mac Pros from 2008 or later are supported with x64 Vista. That is ridiculous since I've been running x64 Vista on my 2006 Mac Pro ever since BootCamp 2.0 came out. I tried running running the "BootCamp64" installer package, but immediately get an error that says "This installation requires elevated privileges. Launch the the installer through setup.exe." Any ideas on getting Bootcamp 3.0 x64 running on my 1st-Gen Mac Pro?
I'm trying to get my Canon SmartBase MP390 to work with my Mac, and I need to be pointed in the right direction, assuming there is a right direction. Aren't there any open-source Linux drivers or something that I can use?

These tapes and cameras are unsupported in FCP X 10.1.3.
How can I capture (import) the video tape segments onto my Mac OS X version 10.9.4 so that I can edit the video in FCP? Are there special procedures or products that are needed?
latest external Blu-Ray player and burner compatible with iMac?I cannot get a real clear answer anywhere.... It also needs to run in both OSX Lion and Windows through Parallels software..... can I have makes and models and what is he best iMac software to use?
Error message when I try to print: unsupported document-format"application/vnd.cups-command". I recently had my hard drive replaced in my early 2010 21" iMac.
I knew about a lot of problems with Lion and Printers, even here on this Forum I see quite a lot of posts ...but I hoped not for my Samsung CLP-310 Laser Color.I was wrong, because after a software update relating Samsung Printer (and before the update didn't print anyway ...),I'm still not able to print.I've tried to print out just after the update process without any result, so I've rebooted ... nothing, same problem.System Preference "Printer" panel says it's ok, the printer has a nice green bullet aside the icon, status not active and so on as on SnowLeopard; everything seems good, but when I print an advice reports an error "You need update the printer software, do you want I search for you ?" ... Ok, my dear search for me ... but after a while "No software updates available".
I have 3 Macs (iMac 24", iMac 27" and MacBook Pro 15") each are connected to their own USB Samsung printer (ML-2510 and ML 2010). Since the OSX 10.7.3 upgrade from February 3rd 2012, they all have the same problem. The printer is responding, when we send something to print, the printer starts running and then stops before printing anything. The strange thing is that the next time I try to print, it can be OK. I am able to print sometime but not always. This problem is the same on all 3 computers. I have tryed to reinstall the driver from the Samsung web site and it did not resolved the problems.
I have a Samsung HX-M101UAB/g 1TB external hard drive that is running NTFS-3G drivers that don't work with OSX Lion. Is there anyway that i can get this external hard drive to work now that i have upgraded?
I have installed the generic PCL Laser Printer driver in order to use my Samsung ML-6060 printer, because Samsung no longer supports this printer for macs.
For several weeks the generic driver worked beautifully. Now I'm having a problem. When I print a document the printer puts out a blank page other than the letters OE in the upper left corner. The next page is the document itself. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the driver with no success.
P.S. I need to correct my computer description. I have returned to System 10.8.5 on my Mac Pro (early 2008) desktop.

I was let down when I found that I had to reformat my MBP 13" after 6 months of use. I also had Bootcamp installed but I found that my MBP would take a long time to boot into OSX and when I did, I had a lot of spinning beach balls. Even my Bootcamp began giving me errors. After using the utilities to find out what the health issues were, I found that my repairs to the hard drive were unsuccessful and I had to reformat.Mind you I had a time machine back up, but I was frustrated that after just six months of owning the MBP I had to reformat. It brought back memories of dealing with Windows. I mean, if I have to do this again in 6 months, I mine as well use Windows since I basically did the same thing then too. (And it was cheaper!)
My macbook is a week and a day old. It is the newer whitebook with nvidia and all that. Coconut battery says its 123 months old? why is this? The only thing i can think of is that apple possibly had a used macbook come in and they switched out some parts and changed it to the new one? btw it was bought new at best buy.
Got a question about the battery in my wife's white Macbook. I just downloaded (and ran for the first time) Coconut Battery and it reports the following info:
Current Battery Charge: 5281 mAh Maximum Battery Charge: 5281 mAh
Current Battery Capacity: 5281 mAh Original Battery Capactiy: 5020 mAh
Battery-LoadCycles: 60 Age of your Mac: 8 months
Now, I'm no rocket scientist, and I'm definitely not complaining, but how in the world does my battery have More capacity now than it did when it was new? Is this an error in Coconut? System Profiler reports the same capacity and my research online seems to concur that 5020 mAh was the original capacity.
So I got my Macbook Aluminum 13 inch 2.4GHz for a few days ago, and I just downloaded coconut, and it says that my Mac is 6 months?! And my battery mah is like 4200, with 6 cycles. Is this bad? and should I get a refund?
it's been exactly one month that I've used my magic mouse and it died out already
Has anyone else experience this? I was under the impression this mouse was great on battery, correct me if i'm wrong but I read it can last up to 4 months on a single set of double A batteries?
So now I am going to get some new rechargeable batteries. What are a good kind to get that last pretty long?
I have a MBA, and have decided that I want to have Windows on it as well, since although I hate Windows and love OSX I use quite a lot of Windows only s/w, and I only want to carry one computer.
Couple of questions though:
How big a partition does Windows really need (I have 128GB SSD, about 80GB free right now)?
If I get a new MBP a few months down the line, how easy is it to move the copy of Windows to that? And do they honestly expect me to pay �250 a time to install Windows on two laptops if I decide to keep the old one, even though they are both for me and would never be used at the same time?
This is an honest question, I don't want to cheat anyone, but I'm not exactly made of money, and the price of the Windows os scares me!
What is the best way to finance a MacBook? I was looking at the deferred interest for 12 months from Barclay's on Apples site. However, I have not calculated how much interest that would really be but is it a guarantee that they would give me enough credit limit to cover that MBP I would want?
A few weeks ago I had problems with my iMac freezing and also had a few Kernal panics. I ended up doing a disk utility with the actual startup disk and since then it worked for about 10 days but just recently froze again (while in Firefox) and started making a continuous loud beeping from the speakers and kind of a staticy sound...so I turned it off but now it won't stay started. I hear the "bong" noise and then see the apple logo and the bar under apple logo starts to come on but disappears And then it powers down to black screen and off. I have tried putting disk in but it spits it out at startup I have also tried Resetting pram and smc...I hope I did that correctly I believe I did? What other steps can I take?
Are there any cons to purchasing a refurbished MacBook Pro? My original has been on its dying leg for the past few months. Had it since 2003! I'm not in a position to spend so much money on a brand new MBP. Has anyone bought there Mac refurbished?
The first couple kernel panics I had appeared to have been caused by Trend Safe Web Surfing for MAC i have since uninstalled that and it keeps panicing.. programs i always have open
- safari
- firefox
- skype (text chat only .. never video)
- Outlook for Mac
- Adobe CS5 Dreamweaver
there is never anything consistent about when it happens
