I just upgraded to a g4 with os x 10.2.8
Hooked up an external sony dvd cd burner but it won't work.
Yet in the apple profiler it says it's there.
Everytime i try to burn i get a dialog box saying no device to burn or no burner found. Would appreicate some help here, as i find osx
a lot different from 8.6:rolleyes:

Could you provide the exact model of the burner? Also, what exactly does the Apple System Profiler say about the drive? For example, in my MacBook I have a internal combo drive. In System Profiler, it shows up under Hardware->Disc burning. It then says the following info about the drive:
MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8221:
Firmware Revision: GA0H
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
Media: No
Yours should say something similar.

Yes, the jump to OS X is a big one, especially if you've never even used OS 9. I hope you like OS X's added features and stability, and catch on quickly to the new interface ;).
