Burned disc plays in my Mac Pro, but shows up blank on other computers

Hi,
I edit using FCP and burn video discs using DVD Studio Pro. I've been working like this for years now. I haven't had any problems this school year until recently. What's happening is, I burn my DVD using DVD studio pro on my Mac Pro and a Lacie external disc burner. If I pop it back in the Mac Pro, it plays perfectly fine. If I then put it into my Macbook Pro (same OS and applications) it shows up as blank. It is also happening when I send DVDs to other people I work with when they put the disc in their computers.
I know the disc is burning because it shows up on the original machine and I've been able to get data off of the disc, but I want to make sure other people can view the disc.
Has anyone else experienced this and have a suggestion? Many thanks.

Burned DVD works on 1 Macbook pro, says it is blank on other

I have 2 macbook pros, same exact set-ups. 10.6.8 OS and all same hardware.
I have a DVD from a photographer that I put in one mac book and it worked fine.
I put the dvd in to the other mac book pro and it says that the disc is blank.
Any advice appreciated.

Not WEP encrypted correct? Mac's might not be connecting to this standard.
WPA and WPA2(AES) is fine for connections, just that WPA is also cracked,
so WPA2(AES) is really the only secure standard now (with a long random password)

I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

Probably because they don't accept that media.
Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

I am unable to get a DVD with photos to play on my mac pro

I recorded my photos on a DVD from my Mac Pro but when placing them im a mac the disc does not come up. It was readable in a Windows format.

What software did you use to record the photos on the DVD?
What software are yiu trying to use to view them?
What do you mean when you say "the disk does not come up"?

I am selling my apple mac pro but do not know how to deregister and register it to the new owner; how do you do this?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

Yes the original Install Discs can be replaced for a nominal fee. Call AppleCare, you will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. You can use the AppleCare Contact Info for the phone number on your part of the planet.

Hi,
It may be worth trying another burning application to see if this helps the issue.
Download and install the free utility, ImgBurn and use this to create the DVD. Guides on using this to burn to single layer and dual layer discs are below.

Hi all. I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Any advice?

Hi all, I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store. I want to connect to upgrade to Mountain Lion but ony get the message "you are not connected to App store" or "Check your internet connections, error -52". My internet is working OK for everything else.Any advice?

Then I will have to assume a faulty installation.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

Put the G4 into Target Disk Mode and open Migration Assistant on the new MBP. Your G4 needs to be running 10.5.8.

Parallels Desktop v3.0 corrupts downloads on Mac Pro but not on MacBook Pro

Parallels Desktop for Mac version 3.0 is corrupting downloads and updates on my Mac Pro, but not on my MacBook Pro. Symptoms include the message "The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple” when downloading a software update. Downloading a dmg software package fails at the end of the download with a "Verification failed" message. Trying to mount the package manually fails with codec overrun error. These are symptoms of a corrupted download.
The problem disappears when I uninstall Parallels. It reappears if I reinstall Parallels. My Mac Pro and MacBook Pro are nearly identical in installed software. I have reviewed the problem with AppleCare in excruciating detail (an hour yesterday and another hour today with an AppleCare Specialist). It is a new issue to them. We have send a support request email to Parallels.com.
This has been a difficult problem to troubleshoot. I had tried every suggestion that I could find on the forum under "Digital Signature is incorrect", "Verification failed", "codec overrun", etc., without success. I won't go into the painful details of the troubleshooting process, unless encouraged. But I will update the forum when I know more. Meanwhile, if you have any ideas please pass them on.

The problem has been solved by replacing the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router with an Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wireless Base Station. After completing the installation I was able to successfully download my test .dmg files on the both the Mac Pro and the MacBook Pro with Parallels 3.0 installed.
Before I had made this change I had worked with a Parallels tech support expert. (By the way, they were very responsive.) We had tried a number of things without success, including disconnecting and restarting the cable modem and router.
I don't know why this change in routers worked. It couldn't be related the WEP encryption on the Linksys versus the WPA2 security on the Airport Extreme because the problem was not with the wireless connection to the MacBook Pro. The problem was with the Mac Pro, which was connected via an ethernet cable, in both cases.
I am now happy, but confused.

This is an iDVD forum. You shoud find the Adobe support website and ask there. When you do you should specify what Adobe application or software you're referring to.
