For MAC experts... :mac: help! I have an older iMac DV (in strawberry!) - I bought a CD burner, hooked it up with a fire wire cable and loaded up Roxio Toast Lite 5.2 and that was that - been a burnin' fool ever since.
Well, went to burn a CD the other day and for no reason - my computer does not "see" or recogonize the burner. I took the burner to a friend's and he connected it to his brand new Mac G5 and it worked fine there. He sent me home with a new fire wire cable and still - my burner is a NO SHOW on my computer. I plugged the cable into both ports - NADA. Can someone help? Wish I were more of a expert... VOTE....EARLY | |

Ex-Moderator | I've had this Mac at home for years, but I have no idea how to do much of anything on it. |

what os are you using? did you update it? that might make it incompatible with your burner. Does your system utilities thing show anything hooked up through firewire? My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

I thought this thread was about MAC makeup. I highly recommend the fluid line eyeliner. It's killer. I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

in all seriousness...it could be the firewire cable connection, it could be your ports, it could be the device you are trying to connect...it could be the drivers are not compatable with the operating system you are running. That is all I can think of off the top of my head. | |

I'm thinking it's probably a driver issue as Jess had suggested. Check the manufacturer's site to see if there are drivers specific to that operating system version. | |

look up your burner model number and os 9.2 compatability issues on google. Your only option might e to go back to the older os... I use tiger os 10.4 and that knocked out my printer which was only compatible up to 10.3...

I'd upgrade your version of Toast... you know they are up to 7.0, Titanium. I would assume your 5.2 version is too old for system 9.2, before anything else. Try upgrading Toast to whatever version is operable to your system software, that should fix it. You can also check your system profiler with the burner connected, and see if your computer is recognizing that it is there. If your computer sees it, but Toast doesn't, it's because of your outdated version of Toast for sure! | |

http://www.vega-nick.com/...ovieID=106 [Edited 10/20/05 23:23pm] You all helped IMMENSELY! (except for 2th9s ! ) The Audience also sent me this link: http://www.appletechs.com...00087.html Apparently it is Toast - it doesn't recognize the burner after upgrading to the next system - I went from 9.0 to 9.2.1 so I cold get iTunes... why aren't these things ever easy... So I disabled the Firewire authoring extension... and voila - I can SEE the burner again! Anyway THANK YOU - ALL OF YOU! VOTE....EARLY | |
