rafiki Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hello all, I'm fairly new to Retrospect 9. I've been using retrospect since the early 90s and have very recently upgraded to 9. I had created a few catalogs and did a few backups in January. I am trying to add to those catalogs now, but I can't get Retrospect to recognize the Media. I'm thinking that it might have something to do with my drive being configured properly. I mean, it was at one point, but perhaps and System or Retrospect update overwrote it... ? When I run a backup, i'm prompted... Needs Media > Choose Media... It then prompts me to "Select media: 4-Software' and shows my drive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D) in the window. but the Eject button does not open the tray like I was used to in Rv6. So I use the keyboard eject and put the appropriate disk in (4-Software) only to have the Mac OS tell me that I 'inserted a blank DVD'. I can click 'OK' or 'Ignore', neither has any effect on the 'Select Media:) window. It just keeps showing my PIONEER Drive. I've tried this with several Catalogs. None are recognized. Does anybody have a clue as to why, and what I can do about it? Thanks in advance, Rob System configuration: Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon 8 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 Retrospect 9.0.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Retrospect 8/9 have optical media support turned off by default. If you configured it for Retro 9.0 and then upgraded to 9.0.1, you'll need to configure it again. This is discussed in the thread: http://forums.retrospect.com/index.php?/topic/147711-optical-disks-not-showing-up-in-storage-devices/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
