neile1 Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 When the retospect 5.0238 application is on I can't use my cdrw/dvdrw super Drive. When I go to Device Status the ignore ID is grayed out. What am I doing wrong? Im using a G4 500MP 10.2.4 along with Qualstar 4440 library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Ignore ID does not function under OS X. When Retrospect opens, we load a device driver. OS X does not allow two programs to load a CD/DVD device driver at the same time, preventing other access. Close Retrospect before using the drive for non-backup use.

neile1 Posted April 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 If I close Retrospect I have to rescan the library for 1-2 hours,why ignor ID doesnt work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 I believe it has something to do with the OS X implementation of device support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronldantz Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 If I start the other application first (say, iTunes) then start Retrospect, Retrospect will pop up a dialog box stating it can't access the device and the box can NOT be closed by clicking 'OKAY.' I need to force quit Retrospect. Therefore I can not use the CD at the same time that Retrospect is running. This is NOT good! By the way, while Retrospect is spinning tape, the About... menu item is dimmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
