More upgrades
I’ve ordered a DVD burner for my Mac. Yep, it’s an internal, I got the Pioneer DVR-109, which was highly recommended as most compatible in the Apple Support Forums. I thought it would be a good upgrade and since I can’t burn CDs with my current burner, I might as well upgrade. Hopefully this will fix my problem. I think it will. If it doesn’t, then I know it isn’t a drive issue, but a software issue. But I’m not sure. The drive doesn’t respond when any application tries to write to it. It won’t get past the initialization step in iTunes. Finder and Disk Utility return an error saying the drive didn’t respond. I can’t wait for my burner to get here now. I downloaded the instructions on how to install the drive from MacWorld. Very simple, easy to follow instructions with pictures. Shouldn’t be too difficult. I’m not afraid of hardware work…I know Macs are different, but I’ve built several PCs over the years, so at least I’ve worked with computer hardware before.
I also got a new skin for my iPod. I wanted something a little slimmer than the ActionJacket I already have. So I got an iSkin eVo. I got the Artic color, so it blends in, rather than go outrageous and get some weird color, although I did like the blue. LOL!
