justin holt Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Using OS X quite a bit recently because I have almost everything smoothed out. I can play and listen to music, I can surf the web. I just can't burn a cd through iTunes. I can although use this LG drive of mine to burn cds through another application called "Burn" (found through the homepage of digg.com). And then I opened up iDVD and even iMovie HD and both stated that I could work with the application, I just can't export straight to dvd. Does anyone have an idea as to how to get my LG (seen as HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4521B in system profiler) to be recognized as a Superdrive. Figured the hardware forum would be as good as place as any to start.

Ferret-Simpson Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 No it can't. Why? Because it's not a superdrive. It's a combo drive. Just go out and buy a $30 DVD-RW.

justin holt Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Now you go into my next question, I aswell as this drive have a DVD burner installed and it is technically the slave to this drive, although OS X does not recognize it, is there anyway to get it to recognize it or should I just have the drives switch places hoping it will detect the DVD burner instead of the one it does now?

Ferret-Simpson Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I don't see the need for two drives. Scrap the Combo and leave the superdrive. Set the SD as bus master. Now: If the system still can't see a disk that you insert into the superdrive, get a new one.

Yaroze Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Superdrive can mean a number of things, a floppy drive supporting 1.44mb (much space) floppys for example Or a CD Burner, DVD burner and so on... This might help getting Apples applications to recognize your burner: http://www.patchburn.de/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43582-can-my-lg-cd-rwdvd-drive-be-recognozied-as-a-superdrive/#findComment-312060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
