Put back unique interior Yamaha CD RW component through the theme drive within a Power Mac G4 MDD dual 1.25 MHz. The latest unit's tray will drive out by pushing the lower right hand switch except is not recognized in the Finder. LaCie support prompts me to ensure the jumper is set correctly. Does anybody know which jumper? Installation occupies a power as well as ribbon cable barely. As finest as I can suggest, it should be a software divergence. Does anyone have whichever estimations like to a resolution?

The error message in Mac G4 "USB Device Not Recognized" can come into view for various causes. It is not usually caused by means of a hardware mistake inside the drive itself. Ordinary reasons are:

• Terrible USB cable.
• deficient power supply.
• MAC driver otherwise USB issue.

The after that most excellent step is to accomplish a sequence of manual tests to observe if the issue can be secluded to a tiny constituent, before the drive itself.

• Adjust the USB cable by a dissimilar one.
• If the CD/RW drive is bus-powered, utilize the USB power sharing cord. For standard drives, attempt utilizing a dissimilar external power supply from a diverse LaCie (if achievable.)
• Test the drive in different Mac system

Occasionally it's pleasant having 2 drives, particularly while installing software that is on top of 2 discs. I had previously been toward the Lacie official site and the merely update designed for the drive is meant for Panther (that is my Mac G4 is running) and wasn't necessary in support of Tiger, therefore I guess it isn't required in favor of Leopard. To top stuff off it seems I didn't register the drive by means of Lacie and while I attempted to do it online they would like to recognize where I purchased the drive and at what time. It has been excessively lengthy and I don't have whichever paperwork on the order

I assumed I would offer update on what is going away on by means of the drive. I lastly got about to contacting LaCie. Up to now the issue seems to be that I encompass an older drive. There isn't whatever thing incorrect with the drive, except LaCie's fireware update application doesn't wish for to update it to whichever edition higher than 1.09 and the present fireware edition is 1.20.

Regarding this issue I have contacted the LaCie customer support team and I was lastly capable to obtain a reply from LaCie concerning my problem. The resolve was that the DVD burner is simply excessively aged to be companionable with my Mac G4 desktop computer. I purchased the drive long time ago, which is while LaCie updated their drive or drivers to be LightScribe companionable, consequently my drive is not able to update to the most up-to-date firmware.

Now click "More Info" inside the box that comes into view.

Inside the System Profiler, beneath Disc Burning, you ought to observe the following :IDE-DVD DVDRW8651 (this is the drive in my D2). Beneath the Burn Support paragraph, it must demonstrate "Yes (Vendor Supported)" as well as a Firmware Revision of LT25. I suppose you're as well connecting it by the use of FireWire. The latest D2s might have an SH-S162L drive, with dissimilar firmware, except during either case the Burn Support line must display "Yes (Vendor Supported)".
