i have Vista installed on my dell laptop (gaming) and i cant seem to burning a cd, when i try itunes says "Disc burner of software not found Disc burner of software not found "Disc burner of software not found". I did install Nero burning software so maybe that is the cause of the problem. Is there a way i can work use both without having to uninstall one?

So, yesterday I went to burn an audio cd in itunes. When I clicked burn I recieve a message that stated "Disc Burner or Software not found." I then went to About this mac in the toolbar and click "Disc Burning" and it states that there is no burning device found. Help would be appreciated, here are my specs
Mac mini C2D 1.6Ghz
2Gb Ram
OSX 10.4.11
I know its there(Combo CD burner/DVD reader drive.)
The other prob is that there is a disc stuck in the drive. I have tried all the various methods to eject the disc to no avail including rebooting and holding Cmd-Opt-O-F then typing eject cd but alas I "have no cd drive"

I just installed a Pioneer Blu-Ray Burner on my MacPro 3,1. I'm using this burner for data backup.  The first two BD-R's worked using the Finder for burning but soon after that the BD-R's stopped verifying successfully. It will burn but then it gives me an error like this: Sector 6756448 is unreadable. Verification failed. 72% Some things I've tried.Â
1. Turning off sleep functions for the hard discs.
2. Lowering the burn speed to 2x.
3. Purchasing Toast 11 Titanium to use for burning.
4. Checked firmware and it is the latest. ver 1.06Â
The other bit of interesting info is that I installed the same drive on a MacPro of similar vintage and had no issues. More later on those specs.Â

I can no longer burn CDs - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try a slower speed, try another make of disc" Tried that, still doesn't work.

I ran disc utlity and it came across a lot of errors. But the one thing in common with all of them is that they all start with "ACL found but not expected on" and then it shows a bunch of applications.

i'm attempting to load win7 onto my MAC. Thus far i have downloaded the .iso image off MSDN (throught my university, for all intents and purposes should be as legitimate as an off the shelf copy)Â and burned it to DVD as a bootable disc image. however for some reason when using Boot Camp im told "The installer disc could not be found".There is data on the disc however when i go into the disc via finder it appears empty (no icons)... even though it is not (get info > xyzMB used).

I have an iMac and am running OS X 10.8.5. I am trying to re-install my HP desk jet software but when I put the disc in, it doesn't pop up on the desktop and I can't find it in Finder. There's nothing in Devices. I've looked at all the settings and cannot understand why it's so difficult to run the disc. In System Preferences > CDs & DVDs, I have tried both all options including open in Finder and "Ask what to do". Nothing happens.

I read a few old threads about this that said to check the disc permissions on disk utility and did all that. I read something else that said turn the computer off and turned it off and then on again but it didn't work. This is the first disc I have tried to burn since downloading mavericks. I haven't had any trouble before although I don't burn too many discs. I have an early 2009 iMac.

Please take pity on a confused newbie. I'm running 10.4.11 (Tiger) on a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 13" Macbook with 1GB ram. My school requires me to run Bootcamp to take my exams. They told us that we need 10.5 minimum OS and must have our 'original system discs'. The installation dics that I have are for Tiger. If I buy an upgrade disc to Leopard/SL, will that contain the windows drivers I need to install after I install bootcamp? Or do I need to buy a full installation disc of Snow Leopard (since I think you can't buy the Leopard full installation anymore)? Another issue someone mentioned is that both Leopard & SL require 1BG ram minimum, which is what I have. I'm worried the os will run very slow, but I don't really have the money to buy new ram and get it install (and don't want to crack the fragile top case) now that I have to buy the new software too.

I used Carbon Copy to clone the Mac side of the drive to the new drive.Then placed the new drive in the mbp.I then used sys utilities to partitions the new drive 25% Mac & 75% windows. The I downloaded Winclone to the Mac side and attempted to make a image of the old bootcamp partition. I selected to save it to an external drive that is formated for Mac.
About 80% in the Winclone stopped and said Errors Found see logs.Tech support can't figure out why it's not making the image.Then they suggested I turn off the screen saver. So that's where I am not.
I have a Unibody Macbook Pro, and I recently reinstalled Windows XP SP2 (updated to SP3) with Bootcamp. I am unable to see any wireless networks when I know several are present. (OSX Connects flawlessly).
I have attempted to update the drivers to no avail.
I've recently deleted my Windows side on Bootcamp and when ever I start my Mac up, it goes into this black screen saying "No CD found, press any key to exit" or something and I have to press alt everytime I boot my Mac up to avoid going into that mode.

I get a white screen upon powering up. No mac logo. When I hold down "option", the mouse arrow pops up but nothing to click on.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did a clean install via boot camp. Installed Windows XP Pro SP2, then went and moded the file so you can install service pack 3. Passed the software that checks if your copy of Windows is valid. It was so, I was able to install service pack 3. Installed BootCamp 3.0 drives then did the update for the latest version of bootcamp. Installed all the updates for Windows XP (All 93 of them). Now when I open IE and try to go any where other then MSN.com I keep getting this error message. What the hell does it mean? 'The requested lookup key was not found in any activation context'

View 14 Replies View RelatedCurrently have XP. But, I have heard/read that it is possible to do a clean install of Windows 7 from the upgrade disc. Or is that only possible on a PC? If so, how would I go about wiping XP off and then doing a clean install of Windows 7's 64 bit version?
View 7 Replies View Relatedi'm a HUGE gamer, so the first thing I did once I loaded this new computer up was install my copy of Windows Vista on it using Boot Camp Assistant. The installation went completely smoothly, so I then proceeded to install the Boot Camp Drivers onto my new and fresh and clean Windows Installation.
I restarted the computer and everything seemed to be in working order...but there are two relatively MAJOR problems:
One, the one that is the most pressing, is the sound. When I started up after installing all of the boot camp drivers, I couldn't get a single audio device to get recognized by my Vista Home Premium installation. I tried disabling and re-disabling other drivers in the Device Manager, and when I try to download new drivers for the one audio device that has an error sign next to it, Vista claims that it is already updated to the latest drivers, so it will not install new ones. I even went onto cirrus' website to download their official drivers, and the same thing happened.
I'm using a Windows Vista Recovery disc originally packaged with a Toshiba computer to install Windows Vista on my iMac in Boot Camp.
Before starting installation, I'm asked the question whether I want to proceed as the entire contents of my hard drive will be wiped...
Is it only going to wipe the contents of the Boot Camp partition or actually the whole original hard drive, OS X etc?
I want to install Windows XP on a Mac Pro using Boot Camp. However, the Windows XP install disc is old--from 2002. It does have Service Pack 1 on it. Two questions:
1. If I install from this disc, will Windows Update still give me the option to download Service Pack 2 & 3? I'm a little confused because I thought I heard somewhere that Microsoft no longer supports Service Pack 1--does that mean I can't update it or just that they won't offer technical support, etc? I know for sure I read you can't install SP3 without either SP1a or SP2 already installed. My install disc doesn't have SP1a.
2. Even if I can update it through Windows Update, I would rather not go through that process. I have read about slipstreaming and that sounds like a good way to go. The process to make one seems to require a Windows XP computer though and I only have access to a computer with Windows Vista at my employer (the old PC with XP at my house is so slow it would never work). I tried to use the program AutoStreamer but I couldn't get it to run on the Vista PC.
I don't know why but it keeps ejecting it on boot.It installed fine on my Macbook Pro but Mac Pro keeps ejecting itIs there a step I'm missing out on?This isn't bootcamped. I've had Vista 64 on the harddrive by itself before and now I'm trying put 7 on it. I insert the disc, reboot the computer, and it just keeps rejecting it. I really want to do a fresh install on this computer. What do I do?
