Mac Forum / General / Hardware / July 2008Does OS 10.3.9 have a built in CD burner
Does OS 10.3.9 have a built in CD burner and if so does it only install if it see an internal apple branded CD or DVD burner already installed in the computer? If I use an external burner on either USB or SCSI. Can I use the OS X burner? Is there a way to get it to be installed after I have already done the installation of this system (10.3 before I did the update) I did not have any peripherals connected at the time of the install (i.e. my external CD-RW burner)? PS I am on a blue & white G3 with just a CD player inside. >Does OS 10.3.9 have a built in CD burner and if so does it only >install if it see an internal apple branded CD or DVD burner already >installed in the computer? The program you are looking for is "Disk Utility". It will recognize most CD-burners. >If I use an external burner on either USB or SCSI. Can I use the OS X >burner? I think so.

OSX burning software (iTunes, Finder, and Disk Utility) is always installed. DVD Player may not be installed if there is no internal drive that can read DVDs. VLC should be able to play DVDs from external drives, but your computer may be too slow. <http://www.videolan.org> > If I use an external burner on either USB or SCSI. Can I use the OS X > burner?

Tiger and Leopard will handle most burners, but 10.3.9 will need PatchBurn for non-Apple drives. <http://www.patchburn.de> > > Does OS 10.3.9 have a built in CD burner and if so does it only > > install if it see an internal apple branded CD or DVD burner already [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > PatchBurn for non-Apple drives. > <http://www.patchburn.de> How do I burn from the OS 10.3.9 finder? Is there a apple stand alone application? I don’t see any. I was at a friends house and he was able to burn a data CD for me from the finder (I think) using OS 10.4. > How do I burn from the OS 10.3.9 finder? Is there a apple stand alone > application?

Inserting a blank CD or DVD should then create a blank disc icon on the desktop. Drag files and folders to that device, select it, and click "Burn" in Finder's "File" menu. |
