Traditional hard disks are the most common options of external drives for Mac, but you can also use them as laptop internal hard drives. You can get an Apple external hard drive in any size ranging from about 60GB to 20TB, depending on your needs. When considering external storage for Mac, factor in cloud capacities. Apr 22, 2016  Maybe at the time this product was 'created' (printed box and printed instructions for the external hard drive)OS 10.7 (Lion) was the most current OS. Now here we are 4 OS versions newer. I can almost betthat if I had the same exact EHD that said 'Lion and up'I bet it would work with OS 10.6. Image via arstechnica.net Step 4: Drag your USB (or a Dual-Layer DVD) drive from the list on the left into the 'Destination' box and click 'Restore' (or just click the 'Burn' button in the upper left if you're using a Dual-Layer DVD) and in 10-30 minutes (depending on whether you're using USB 2.0 or 3.0) you'll have your backup disk ready to instal on as many Macs as you like. Mac OS X 10.6.8 added regular malware definition updates. 57 Computer security researcher Charlie Miller claims that OS X Snow Leopard is more vulnerable to attack than Microsoft Windows for lacking full address space layout randomization (ASLR) since Mac OS X Leopard, 58 a technology that Microsoft started implementing in Windows Vista. If your Mac has a built-in optical drive, or if you connect an external DVD drive (for example, an Apple USB SuperDrive), you can burn files to CDs and DVDs to share your files with friends, move files between computers, or create backup files. Discs you burn on your Mac can also be used on Windows and other types of computers.

Kind of strange because this limitation went away in 10.3+, and I guess seems to have come back? Weird.

I wonder if the 10.5 version of that file contains the key to making them both work.

All versions of DVD Player in OS X will play from external drives without needing patches et al. (The limitation to Apple-branded drives in Panther and before was just to burning of discs, not to other functions.)
The problem is:
If there is no DVD device connected to the primary internal bus (ATA or S-ATA), the application refuses to start up.
If you removed the internal drive, you have to patch the player's framework this way.
If your internal DVD is right in place (using it or not doesn't care), you don't need that.
This stupid restriction is enforced by licensing terms of the contained 3rd party DVD decryption/playback software (called 'Cinemaster': a widespread back-end package, found in standalone hardware players from a dozen manufacturers, too. It's essentially the same brand of software as in the well-known PC-apps PowerDVD or Nero ShowTime.)
In the early days of DVD playback, this was enforced to prevent the circumvention of region code settings (the infameous 'change it no more than 5 times' rule).
Therefore, Apple will not remove it - they are not allowed to do so.

Yes, Thank you so much for this hint. It works perfectly on my OWC samsung external. I was just about to start researching that error and this hint came along. What a time saver.

I've got an old external dvd burner/player (from an old pc I gutted years ago) that I've rigged up with ide<>usb adaptor. When plugged into my macbook running snow leopard, it works fine with dvd player and everything else, despite having a working internal drive. Didn't have to do any fixing to get it working. It works a lot faster than the internal drive too.

I'll have to remember to apply this patch next time I decide to watch a DVD using DVD player. I'm more likely to simply use VLC though.

I found this tip last year (not sure where, but it referred also to the Hardmac article) when my iMac's internal drive stopped working and I did not want to spend a lot of money getting it repaired. Worked like a charm. In Snow Leopard there are 6 occurences of the word 'Internal', in Leopard there are 4.
BTW: the cause of the problem in my case probably was software (driver) related. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard (and applied the patch again) I also found out that the internal drive was functioning again!

Note that this works for 10.7.2 as well. Just tried it on my MBP (2009) with internal drive removed, external USB drive.

After performing the HEX edit changes, I am unable to watch a movie with the drive. I can view files from a DVD as well as burn a CD/DVD. When I load a DVD I get 'DVD Player cannot be opened because of a problem.' If I ignore the message and try to load a DVD to Mac The Ripper, it shows 'ERROR' and ejects the DVD. I have tried multiple DVD's.
Any/All suggestions are appreciated.

I can't boot from a system disc OSX 10.6.3 universal or tech tool pro 6 disc using DVD Drive switcher. Any ideas? Or will we never be able to do boot discs again?

This also works for an Apple SuperDrive on a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion (10.8.2).

I have never edited hex before and I followed these instructions and DVD player was recognizing my external drive in less than 15 minutes. I feel so cool. Thank you!

To boot from a Recovery HD you should use COMMAND-R, not CTRL-R. Do you have a functioning optical drive? Here is the proper process for installing Snow Leopard from the DVD.
