Can someone tell me how to fix this error in 10.4.11 on a G5 Quad Core 2.5GHz Tower...A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]

Can someone tell me how to fix this error in 10.4.11 on a G5 Quad Core 2.5GHz Tower...A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]

That's an error reported from DVD Player I believe...
kDVDErrorMissingGraphicsDevice = -70017, // A valid graphics device is not available.
There's some conjecture it has to do with HDCP, or Video Card problems, but the only 2 cures/fixes I found were Software related, one was cured by updating the OS, another by replacing the Video kexts.
I think this error also shows up if trying to use DVD player in Safe Mode, (too much research isn't good! ).

Can't think of much to try at the moment, but perhaps reapplying the big 10.4.11 combo, Repair Permissions, & reboot would help, not sure.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

    I can't get dvds to play and, instead, get "There was an initialization error.  A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]"  I went in for a Genius appt Friday and it played for the tech...but now I'm back home (one and a half hours from the store) and I'm getting the error message again when I try to load a dvd.  Any recommendations?

    Hello, try this...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot... any change?

    The simple answer to the above question (<i>from the link</i>) is to include "return true;" at the end of your javascript.
    <br><br><br>
    My problem turned out to be something else. It was complaining because the archive attribute in my applet tag pointed to a file with a period in it. It pointed to "file_0.1.jar" I had to change the file name and the attribute to "file_0_1.jar" Is this a bug or is this how it's supposed to act?

  • Can anyone tell me how to fix this error I am receiving: LabView: File not found. VI "Mobile Display.vi" was stopped at unknown " " at a call to "Mobile Display.vi"?

    Can someone help me please? I am receiving this error everytime I attempt to execute my application:
    LabView: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formated for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.

    We cannot help without additional information:
    Are you running your code
    ...in the development system?
    ...as a standalone application?
    ...deployed to an embedded target?
    If it is a built application, do you explicitly include dynamically called VIs in the build specification?
    Who wrote the program? Do you have access to the code?
    How is this VI called? Is there sufficient error handling?
    Do you manipulate paths as strings or as proper path datatypes with the strip path/build path primitives etc.?
    Is it running on the same OS used to develop it ...

    Hi, jjsylves.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If the media is still located on your computer, I would create a version specifically for the iPad.  To create and iPad version in iTunes 11 select the media that you are wanting to convert.  From there, select the File menu > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV version.  Once the media has been converted, sync the iPad version to the iPad.

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

  • My ipad is no longer syncing automatically when I connect to my macbook pro.  Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    I've had an ipad since late December 2010.
    In the past, it has always automatically synced when I connect it to my macbook pro.
    Now, when i connect it...nothing happens.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    The first thing to do is to launch iTunes on your Mac. Go to Preferences - under the iTunes heading in the menu at the top. Click on Devices. Make sure that you uncheck the box next to - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes and restart your Mac.
    Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select your iPad under the Devices heading on the left side of iTunes. Then click on the Summary Tab at the top right side of the iTunes window. Put a checkmark (select) in the box next to  - Open iTunes when this iPad is Connected. Make sure that all of the other boxes are checked as you desire according to what you want to sync. Click - Apply - in the lower right corner to sync.
    Disconnect your iPad after syncing. Quit iTunes. Then connect your iPad again and iTunes should launch and sync automatically.
