Reader Ned Mitchell find his MacBook's media drive is a little picky about the discs he inserts. He writes:

My MacBook's internal CD/DVD drive reads DVDs just fine. However, it's less tolerant of CDs. Sometimes it loads them, other times, not. For example, in iTunes I can rip two CDs in a four-disc set but the other two discs are ejected shortly after I insert them. Any suggestions for a fix?

MacOS 11.2.3 is a minor update to macOS 11 (Big Sur) that was released on March 8, 2021 by Apple Inc.1 1 Bug fixes and improvements 2 References 3 External links According to Apple, macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 provides important, though unspecified, security updates for all users. What's new in the. Mac users waited many long years, but MacOS now has native window snapping, just like Windows 10. Click and drag a window to one of the four sides or four corners of your display, and a translucent.

Here are the 3 steps for emulating OLPC XO on a mac: 1.- unzip the olpc image 2.- double click on the olpc.vmx file 3.- there's no step 3. (it's a mac)If you are too technically challenged to follow either instruction path, then you can just watch Harry Brignull explore the UI in his short video of the OLPC UI action. As others have noted, OS X comes with various open source packages pre-installed. While this can be a nice convenience, the packages often are only updated to new versions as part of a major OS X release (like 10.5 to 10.6). Also, some packages are used elsewhere by other parts of OS X and there is no easy way to know which.

This isn't an entirely unusual problem—Apple's discussion forums have several threads devoted to the topic. Some have suggested that it can be fixed by reinstalling the Mac OS or zapping the computer's PRAM (start up the Mac and hold down Command-Option-P-R until you hear two startup tones, then let go of the keys and allow the Mac to start up normally). But these aren't sure-fire solutions. More likely, the drive's lens is dirty or the drive is simply broken (or nearly so).

If your MacBook is still under warranty or you have AppleCare for it, put it in Apple's hands. The company isn't shy about replacing these drives when they exhibit such behavior.

If the Mac is out of warranty you can try fixing it yourself provided that the problem is related to a gunked-up lens. You can purchase drive cleaning kits that are intended to brush away crud from a drive's lens. Some people have also had success using a can of compressed air to blow dust off the lens. Others say it's worth wrapping a credit card in soft cotton cloth, applying some denatured alcohol to the cloth, and swiping the cloth-covered card in and out of the drive slot a few times. Still others recommend that in order to do the job right you open the Mac, extract the drive, and clean the lens with a Q-tip and denatured alcohol (iFixit can show you how to open your MacBook and remove its media drive).

If nothing you try works, it's time to look at a replacement drive. An internal replacement drive will set you back around $100 and requires that you remove the old drive and install the new one (again, iFixit will show you how). If you don't require the convenience of an internal drive, you can purchase a compatible external USB drive for around 30 bucks.

Now that One Laptop per Child (OLPC) has announced that the first 1,000 XO laptops have rolled off the assembly line at Quanta Computer's Changshu, production facility, we want one! We want one so bad; we're willing to buy an OLPC now!

Unfortunately, that will have to wait until there are Children's Machines on eBay, but until then, we can all get a little closer to our newest green friend: we can emulate the OLPC Sugar interface on Windows or Mac.

For those of us shackled to Microsoft bloatware, Tom Hoffman has step by step instructions to emulate the OLPC XO on Windows.

As with everything Microsoft, don't think this will be an easy or free experience. To quote Tom:

In particular, I went through some gyrations to make an 'appliance' that would work out of the box with VMware Player on Windows. You can use VMware player at no cost, but it is not free software; if you're doing this on Windows anyhow, presumably you aren't a stickler for such things.

1.- unzip the olpc image
2.- double click on the olpc.vmx file

None are as amazing or full featured as the actual OLPC laptop, but we'll all have to wait for that joy.
