tgradi Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 I have noticed that Retrospect 5.0.025 does not recognize the eject key on the new flat panel iMac keyboard (Pioneer DVD-R or Superdrive). As a result, there is no way to close the DVD-R (retract the tray) except to manually force it back in. Note that the Eject button in Retrospect Express works, but there is no comparable "retract tray" button. I doubt that it is good practice to force the drive closed in order to run a backup. Will there be an update to Retrospect Express to recognize the eject\retract key on the iMac keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 When Retrospect reserves a CD-R/RW/DVD device, Apple's driver is temporarily disabled. When the Apple driver is disabled, there is no programmatic way to enable the eject button on your keyboard. We are working with Apple to fix this in future versions of Retrospect and OS X.

tgradi Posted December 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Retrospect 5.0.238 still does not have the capability to close the Superdrive with the eject key or the eject button in Retrospect. This should be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
