Hello everyone 🙂

1. Video notes: Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe MZ-V7S1T0B (Amazon Affi.
2. The new firmware for the 2018 and 2019 Samsung TVs to support Airplay 2 and the Apple TV app has been announced and plenty of people have posted photos of it working. But my TV can't seem to find an update from its current v. And the support pages on the Samsung website don't list a newer firmware.
3. 1) 1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes, 1TB=1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Lower capacity may be demonstrated by your computer due to use of a different measurement standard. 2) Compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 3) Exact weight of product may vary by capacity. 4) Performance may vary depending on host configuration. To reach maximum read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s, respectively, the host device.

I bought a SAMSUNG portable DVD writer (external) to use with my Mcbook Air, and it worked well for a few months. Reference of the player is: SE-208DB TS01.

I try to update the Samsung T5 software but it won't let me. It tells me to turn off Security Mode so the update can proceed. I tried that but it still won't work for me. How did other Mac users make it work? (see photo below) Specs: I am an iMac user with the most updated software for OS X. I have two Samsung.

Now I'm having issues and I can't seem to find any solution.

I can't eject the CD/DVD with the physical eject button, and the player won't read anything.

I found some similar threads on the internet, issues between this samsung player and apple computers in general, but the solution I found isn't working.

So, the solution that I found is an update of the player. You need the app TSDNMAC and a .BIN file both provided by samsung.

But the website of SAMSUNG which is supposed to provide updates is no longer working! (Samsung-odd)

Luckily I found them here:

Mac Firmware Download

I downloaded the app from samsung (TSDNMAC) and the .BIN file necessary, followed the instructions given (open app, load BIN file into it, start download) but nothing is moving... I've tried several times and left my computer open for hours, but still nothing! (See picture below)

Here you can see that I loaded the file, pressed the button 'Download', and it seems like it started, but the bar isn't moving. No progress.

Any idea how to fix this problem? Any other solution? Any idea how to update the firmware another way??

I'm loosing patience with this one 😟

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks 🙂

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
