    Super Drive Won't Work

    Yeah definitely. You will need to mount the Apple Hardware Test to test the different functions of you Mac. That disk should have come with your original Mac purchase. You also have to use your OS X.3 install disk to run your Repair Utility for your Main HD. You can't repair the OS you're...

    Super Drive Won't Work

    It sounds like you have 2 problems. First, your DVD Superdrive sounds like it may be bad and Second, you've got a door problem with your DVD/CD door opener. You can buy a new Superdrive for pretty cheap and they're easy to install. But the door problem is a bitch to fix. I had a door that...

    DVD Player 4.6.1 update

    Well, the fact is, many people are experiencing problems with the DVD player in "Tiger" as well as previous versions of Apple's OS. So, to say "widespread enough" is a very dubious statement indeed. If the film industry can produce a DVD that will play properly on practically every DVD...

    DVD Player 4.6.1 update

    Well, I can tell you this. Since sending direct information to Apple, I've recieved nothing in return. Not an acknowledgement, an answer, or an apology for their shoddy software. And this isn't the first time I've had to self diagnose a problem with my Mac or Mac OS Software. It's the "NORM"...

    DVD Player 4.6.1 update

    I did. Don't worry. And of course that means that some moron at Apple sits at a desk, looks at my submitted problem, deletes it, and then continues to download illegal songs into his iPod.

    DVD Player 4.6.1 update

    Found it. DVD 4.6.1 and OS 10.4 don't like my RME PCI Audio Card. Apple's DVD player will only work when you use Apple's own audio for output. Bummer! Really makes the Core Audio idea really pointless!

    DVD Player 4.6.1 update

    I'm using a Pioneer 108 with firmware 1.20. This DVD player/burner shouldn't be a problem because Apple uses the same one, but calls it a 117 or something like that. DVDs are playing fine with OS 10.3.9 and DVD player 4.0. So, why not with 4.6.1 and OS 10.4? At any rate, Patchburn has NO...

    DVD Player 4.6.1 update

    OS 10.4.2 has done nothing to repair the broken DVD player on my Mac G5 2X2 computer. DVD 4.6.1 has done nothing to help. DVDs fail to play at all. The only remedy I have is to boot off my FW drive with OS 10.3.9 installed. That DVD player works perfectly. So much for progress Apple!! I...
