Re: G5 up and running, what about browsers?

2012-07-24 Thread a1
Ok, I am using AuroraFox with great success, including the NoSquint
addon for formatting, so I am all good on that aspect of setup.

Strange problem has emerged. The Superdrive has no trouble reading
DVD's, but, I am trying to add some cd's to my ITunes, and the cd's
won't mount. Any ideas on this?

Perhaps clean?
Some of the Apple Superdrives are standard other drives with newer  
firmware that support more media types. There is even patched newer  
firmware for some drives that will allow the drive to be recognized as  
Apple rather than something else. All that stupidity about the  
origin of the drive ended completely by Leopard 10.5, so it's not  
necessary to have an Apple drive as of 10.5. PatchBurn 4.0.5 can fix  
this issue in anything earlier than 10.5, so it really doesn't matter  
if the firmware says Apple or something else.
I kinda suspect you won't solve this problem, you might need another  
drive?

 By the way, regarding FB, there are many ways of using it: you don't need to
 upload the photos of your family or tell everybody what's going on in your

And it is possible to share FB photoalbuns even to people who do not have a
FB account at all.

PatchBurn is HIGHLY recommendable for everyone who has a non-original CD/DVD
writer and run Mac OS X versions prior to 10.5. Before installing P.B. I
thought my DVD writer has some kind of hardware defect because it wrote CDs,
but almost always had problems in writing DVDs...

What does this have to do with web browsing?

When changing subjects, please start a different thread.

won't mount -- in what way?  Exactly what happens?  What do you 
hear from the drive?  Does the drive and media show up in System 
Profiler?  Are errors being thrown into the system log?


Clean the CDs.  Clean the optical drive.

Is Finder set to display CDs/DVDs on the desktop?
