graphics driver for 10.3.6
 

Hi Ellie,

I know it sounds strange that I'd been looking for a DVD firmware or driver update, couldn't find one, and tried a Graphics update that seems to have solved my prob, but there you go!

I had a quick search and there's a RADEON Graphics update for 10.3... at https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...asp?deptID=894
I don't know what iMacs (if any) have Radeon cards, but there may be something there. Try also driverguide.com.

I got my update from Apple, although it didn't show up on Software Update.

I'll let you know if I come across anything over the weekend.
Good luck,
Ciaran.

hi, i have the exact same problem as ellie with mac os x 3.9. is there no answer to this after all these years?????

Hi Bugzimerit,
I'd almost forgotten about this great forum :o thanks for reminding me!

I'm afraid I don't have a definitive solution - I just watch DVDs on the dvd player now!
I have since moved on to 10.4.11

I've just tried playing 2 dvds - One is LOTR, the Two Towers, second-hand and pretty scratched, and it plays perfectly,
The second is LOTR, The Fellowship, which has never worked on this iMac, and guess what? It still doesn't. I bought it new and watched it twice! It just doesn't load. Both are region 2 discs.


Any joy on your side Ellie? I didn't have the same probs - any CD I burn will work on any cd player.

Ciaran.

p.s. - update - The Fellowship has just spun up (after 10 mins, as it used to,) but it is jumpy as anything and unwatchable :(
