I have dealt with LG in the past and there customer support is horrible and has never once helped.

The guide here has command line options for Mac.

BH and WH doesn't matter. It's just that the one includes software while the other one doesn't (bulk drives).

That is the "I read 40 pages here" of the 127(?) pages and 16,000+ posts. and landed on page 1 which I have read at least 5 times.

I understood about the WH BH is like Panasonic who makes the exact same model with a different number for each country or market. Most of that means "Oh you bought that in Botswana, we cannot help you." < I have friends this actually happened to.

Thank you for the link but I have not had any success finding the actual command lines.
