My new MacBook Pro has been having issues with the SuperDrive. It refused to play certain media and didn’t always burn discs on the first try. Today my software update prompted me for a new update. It happened to be the SuperDrive Update 2.1. I haven’t been able to test my optical drive extensively after loading the update, but have see some improvement. I have a disc with me that didn’t play prior to the update but plays after the update. That sounds like good news to me. I suppose that these firmware updates to make a difference. I’ll do some further testing at a later time when I have access to more variety of media.
If you’ve been having issues with your optical drive on a MacBook Pro, fire up the Software Update on your machine and load the SuperDrive Update 2.1. It should improve your drive’s performance.
Time for a change
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 | Mac Resources | No Comments
Its been almost a year since I began this blog. Over the course of this time I’ve made practically not changes to the format and layout. Recently, I began looking around for a more functional, clear and simple theme. After some time of searching the web and looking through a number of themes, I settled on ModerPaper Theme by Performancing.
I believe that this theme offers good clarity, which makes it easy on the eyes. It is simple, yet attractive. And it also has a three column format, which allows for better positioning of sidebar content and advertising. So, here it is. This blog is now dressed in a new theme. I hope that you, the reader, will find this theme appealing.
If you’re reading this post from your email, click through to the blog to see its new look.
Let me know in the comments what you think about the change. What do you see as advantages and what would you change? What elements can enhance your reading experience?
