I've had my external TDK cd writer for almost 2 years now and have never had any problems with it until I upgraded to Panther last year. I found some suggestions on this site on how to make some adjustments and downloaded a new device plugin so I could directly burn photos and songs from iPhoto and iTunes. However, sometime ago my Mac downloaded some updates from Apple and had to restart. Ever since then my computer will no longer read my external cd writer. I know my firewire port is fine because I use it everyday with my iPod. I brought my cd burner to compusa and hooked it up to several different macs over there and it worked fine. I also made sure to use my own cable so I know that my cable isn't broken.
Any suggestions as to why my computer would stop reading?
I'm running a Powerbook G4 Titanium with 512mb ram and OSX 10.3.9
This is really bugging me so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
