Help with watching a DVD
I have an Inspiron 1100 bought 2-3 years ago. It doesn't have a DVD player. I just bought a Pioneer DVR - X 122 so that I could watch DVDs. However, when I put a DVD in the drive, I get a message saying that my PC must have installed the DVD software. Can I get a download s/w of Dell or I have to buy something? Anyone know?

Help with the driver DvD Ram for satellite P10
On my laptop (satellite p10) is Windows 2000 Professional running, but the driver DVD Ram of the Toshiba Homepage does not...
Where can I get a driver that works on my laptop?Hi Val,
The correct driver for your laptop running Wnidows 2000 should be version 3.0.8.0 and is available for download from the Web from Toshiba website.
I presume that it is the one that you tried, so I don't know what you mean when you say that "it doesn't."

problem with my cd/dvd drive... pls help!
I have windows 7 ultimate! I have problem with my hard drive! I use lg drive and all of a sudden it reads only the CD-ROM and the dvd rom no! its disturbing me a lot! pls help! Thanks in advance
Hello
Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of
themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this issue has been
caused by those, however, it's a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.
Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.
CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.Several good info here:

If you want to watch DVD movies on your computer with the help of a reader DVD Toshiba but the captain must be indicated on the external screen follow these steps:When you have connected the HDMI cable (other) outside on the screen, use FN + F5 and switch to the external display only. When you see the desktop on the beginning of the display external Toshiba DVD player and I think that everything should be OK.

Hello, I recently bought a Macbook from a friend and since I got the Mac it's very very slow at doing things like browsing the internet using Safari, it takes forever to load, web pages and all sorts of things that I'd like to get help with this problem maybe a few recommendations and also on how to speed up... If you need to care about Macbook, I can give these thx.
To sell or transfer ownership of a Mac, even to a member of your family, you must follow these instructions. So far, you will have continuous problems.
Refer to what to do before you sell or give away your Mac
- If you have enabled FileVault, disable it in system preferences > Security and privacy.
- "Remove" your iTunes account. Ditto for Audible if you have one.
- System Preferences > iCloud > deselect 'Back to My Mac' and 'find my Mac '.
- Disconnect from iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
Next: delete all of your personal information by erasing the internal storage of the Mac completely.
- If your Mac comes with a grey system installation DVD, start up your Mac with this disc in the optical drive, all holding the key c to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which must be erased before selling.
- Apple stopped Macs shipment requiring these discs in August 2011.
- If your Mac does not comes with disks, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
- using three fingers press on and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), optionand R.
- With a fourth finger, press the power button to turn on the Mac.
- Keep the other three fingers here where they are until you see the icon "spinning globe.
- This method force the Mac to download BONES initially installed from Apple servers, that won't require not an Apple ID install.
- Remove any password Open Firmware, if you created a: select utility password firmware in the Utilities menu and remove.
- Select disk utility from the utilities menu.
- Delete all partitions that can be created.
- Select the icon for the hard drive to the Mac, and then select the tab "delete".
- Click on the 'Security Options' button and erase the drive.
- More "robustly" you erase the disc, the longer it will.
- The fastest method is sufficient, since all but the techniques more expensive and equipment will be able to recover data deleted safely.
- When he finishes, quit disk utility.
- In the utility menu, select Install Mac OS X .
- An identifier Apple won't be necessary. If a prompt for an Apple ID, return to step 5.
- Do not create user accounts.
- When he finishes, shut down the computer.
- If you want to install the bundled apps that have been included with your Mac, restart using your DVD Applications if it was included and install the bundled apps.
- Apps, delivered with the new Macs sold without disks cannot be transferred. His new owner must buy them from the Mac App Store with its own Apple ID.
If the Mac is sold to someone outside the family, consider the following additional information:
- System provided with your Mac installation DVD must stay with him forever and be included in the sale.
- Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, documents printed, same box if you have.
- AppleCare remains with the equipment and can be transferred.
- Run an invoice indicating the serial number of the Mac.
- Once is no longer in your possession, remove the Mac of your devices in my support profile.

5200 801 with DTS-6012 DVD burn DVDs!
Since I first bought 5200-801, I had problems burning CDs and DVDs. write speed would never go to 2 x as it should be, and - more important-record would be interrupted by an error.
I downloaded the update of the firmware (SDR6012-1334. (EXE) that has been posted for this problem (interruption).
Since then, I usually have to burn the DVD 2 or 3 until I get a readable. The operation appears successful, but the dvd is not burned!
I noticed that the contrast between burned and unburned area is higher on copies of the work of those who does not work on the recorded surface. Looks like the laser is not strong enough!
I buy a box with 10 DVD to write 5!
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you
YiannisP.S. I have responded to something else first to activate the 'POST' icon I think the moderators should check.
Hello
What CD/DVD writing program you use? Has this problem occure with other CD/DVD writing programs also?
Where did you download the update of the firmware?

I need help with an installation failure to interpret and troubleshoot a Setup log.
Background: A few years ago, many editors of cinema used Final Cut Pro 6 (also contained in Final Cut Studio 2) for their editing projects. Shared Apple Final Cut X uses a different format that is not compatible with FCP6. Sometimes, these editors are called to work on a few historical projects that have been published in FCP6 and need this version to run now.
Starting with OS X Lion, FCP6 would install not in Lion and thereafter.
According research by Jeremy Johnston as noted on his blog, he discovered that Apple has inserted a file in the folder CoreServices in the Library folder of the system folder that causes versions the version Final Cut Pro X (and other older Apple programs in the same situation) do not settle. He suggested changes to this file that would seek to prevent interfering with the installation of FCP6 in Lion, many users of final cut PRO 6 were successful in their efforts to install in Lion and work with it.
Later in a discussion update on installing FCP6 in Mavericks, HawaiianHippie determined that the simplest way to perform the installation of FCP6 was simply copy this file and remove it from the system folder, install FCP6 and then restore the copied file:
https://discussions.Apple.com/message/26309669#26309669
I used this method with success to install FCS2 in Yosemite:
[click on images to enlarge]
However, in my attempts to install FCS2 in El Capitan, it fails in the last 5% to install the first DVD:
First of all, I need advice on how to display an extremely large Setup log in this thread (on MacRumors, it is a method to insert a 'code' in a small box that can be the object of a scrollbar if necessary to read all along). I am unable to find such a method to post here.
Then once approved, I need help to determine which component is causing the installation to fail and perhaps this element can be omitted from the installation:
If this element is not required, then maybe FCP6 can be installed successfully without it. And if that omitted element is necessary, perhaps a manual method to install it can be determined by pacifists.
It is my goal to help those who need to install and use FCP6 on their new Macs running El Capitan.
Here is the post on MacRumors with pre-installed Setup log:

Very slow Macbook Pro (2012), please help with report EtreCheck
Hi all
My Macbook runs very slowly, I tried a number of things suggested online but none worked. I recently went to a repair shop and they suggested it could be to do with the dataflex (not sure if this was exactly, but I remember it sounding similar.) They described as a hard drive to another internal component connection, sorry for the inaccuracy.) I have me am replaced, but this did not help either.
I downloaded the software EtreCheck and I was wondering if someone could help me to make light of the report on possible solutions? I have the feeling that it could be the hard drive needs to be replaced, but have no evidence of that. Verification has been run for the problem of "Beachballing" and got the sub report, please let me know if more info would be helpful. I hope it's telling in a way!

Hello mrdivorce,
It looks like of course as evidence of a hard drive failing for me. Hard drives 2.5 "in the MacBook Pro tend to fail after 2-3 years. Judging by the date on your MacBook, I think that your time is up. Maybe try to find a different repair store. Looking for Service Center authorized Apple (https://locate.apple.com/).
I suggest upgrading to an SSD and increasing your RAM too. Then you have the hardware to run the last OS X 10.11.
