DVD Drive stalls/crashes computer

Having some odd problems with my DVD drive in my G5 2x2.66 GHz Dual Core.
If I put a DVD in the tray the DVD player launches and the DVD window is completely screwed up. The perspective is screwy and the image is mangled as well. It also stall my OS so I get the spinning beach ball of death. To get a DVD to load (just the disk image, bypassing DVD Player) I have to put it in the drive and then do a crash restart using the power button.
What gives? Any ideas?

Hi-
Yes, by using Firewire Target Disk Mode, or, by connecting the two by ethernet, and installing the software to the G4 by your ethernet "network".

  • I have no DVD drive on my computer.  Where are the downloads located?

    I received discs for Photoshop elements & premier elements 12 with my new camera but my computer doesn't have a DVD drive.  I assumed it would be no big deal to download them from the Internet...wrong.  .I have serial numbers to install Photoshop but I cannot find where the downloads are located.  I find plenty of "trial" downloads but I should not have to pay for a product I already have.  Can anyone help me out there in cyber-land?  Adobe has no information on the website and I am unable to locate a live person.  So, that is you!  Hey live person, can you help this little ol lady?  Thank you so much!!

    I am okay with a computer but not a geek that is for sure!
    I downloaded the assistant and nothing happened.  I went to the site you so kindly suggested and started the download, and when I tried to apply it to the computer it said elements were missing.  I deleted the download and then started again.  Right now it is once again downloading the assistant. 
    Arggggggh!

    Thanks for the update.
    What was the problem...the length of time for the download or just getting any download at all?
    If necessary, I will go step by step with you through the tryout download from Adobe. But, the purchase of a USB external DVD/CD burner for your computer is a good idea and investment.
    If you do the shopping for this, check out how many connections are necessary for it to the computer....none, one, or two...check out the length of the USB cable.
    Please let us know how we can help. But, your mentioned place of purchase has a squad who should be able to help your with the purchase.
    Thanks. Please update us on your progress when your schedule permits.

  • Cant boot from snow leopard dvd and install crashes computer

    Folks, hi, newbie to this forum but at wits end.
    I have a MacBook Pro 17inch mid 2010 model. I added the OMG disk doubler and ditched the internal dvd, so I now have 2 X 500GB hard drives, one of which has the OSX. This disk in trouble and Disk Utility says that it needs repairing, but i need to repair after booting from an different disk.
    So, I added a usb dvd drive and put in snow leopard. It would not boot via holding down 'c' and the option key only saw the current drive. No problems I thought, I will install onto the second hard drive and boot from that. The process got a fair way though (20 mins) and the computer crashed. I checked that it is GUID, tried again, and ditto. So, I made a new partition that was nice and clean -- and ditto. Stuck about now, I tried to format a usb hard drive -- ditto. Hmm, didnt want to, but out came the second drive and in went the old dvd drive -- same issue -- could not boot using c button and the option key did not recognise the snow leopard install. Out came the drive and I went to the apple store -- they told me that the Snow Leopard I had brought was an upgrade and that I needed a Box Set. $169 later and - you guessed it -- the dvd is the same, no start on c, not recognised on option, and the computer crashes if I try and install to the second hard drive or an external drive.
    Help anyone??

    when i go to system prefs- startup, the dvd does not show up in the list of startup drives. The apple salesman said that the OSX install disk I purchased was not a start up disk / full install but rather an upgrade only disk. That is why he said to use the box set as a 'full install' - but both appear to not start up or be able to do a clean install. I just end up with a set of files call Mac OSX install files.

  • Windows dvd maker does not recognize the dvd drive in this computer

    I have windows 7 release candidate on my old desktop and this newish notebook. Windows DVD maker works fine on the desktop but on this Lenovo 3000 N200 it will not recognize the built in dvd drive. I have checked with Device Manager and the software is up to date and the device is working normally. I can make DVD movies using a free program called DVD Flick. DVD Flick recognizes the DVD burner, so why won't Windows DVD Maker work??

    Hi Ppprrrggg,
    The following information was copied from Troubleshoot problems with creating a DVD-Video using Windows DVD Maker
    My DVD failed to burn. What can I do?
    Try one or more of the following:
    Verify that the DVD burner is connected properly to your computer and powered on, and that any necessary software drivers for the DVD burner are installed. You can check your hardware settings in the Device Manager by doing the following:
    1.
    Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    2.
    Click Hardware and Sound.
    3.
    Click Device Manager.
    Make sure that the videos you're trying to burn are not corrupted. To see whether the videos you want to burn are corrupted, try playing or viewing them using Windows Media Player. If the files don't play using the Player, Windows DVD Maker cannot burn them.
    Choose a slower burning speed for your DVD burner by doing the following:
    1.
    Return to the Add pictures and video to the DVD page, and then click Options.
    2.
    In the DVD burner speed box, select Medium or Slow.
     Does it work?
    Thanks .
    I uninstalled DVD Flick and followed the steps above but no luck.....any other ideas??? Apart from the fact that Windows DVD Maker SHOULD work I find it extra annoying because I think it is a very good program....it's better than DVD Flick, and besides not wanting to fork out money I would prefer to have nothing to do with programs like Nero.
    Hi,
    When you click DVD Maker-what exactly happens?Or what kind of error is?
    when i click dvd
    when I click dvd burner I select videos 2 burn.....videos I can watch on windows media player. After selecting the slowest burn speed I click on ''burn'' just like I do on my 7 year old desktop (which will then burn a dvd movie). But on this notebook I get a little window......''windows dvd maker''. It reads ''dvd burner not found. A dvd burner was not found. Make sure a dvd burner is connected and installed then try again.'' How useless is that???!!! I find it hard to believe this problem cannot be solved. Also I don't believe I can make the problem any clearer!!! Windows has no problem finding the dvd drive if I want to burn a data dvd so how come I can't burn a dvd movie using windows??? please help!!!!!

  • Using LightScribe DVD drive on another computer

    Hello! I was wondering if it is at all possible to use the built in LightScribe DVD drive that came with my relative's computer (it's a PC) to burn a DVD I made in iDVD. Is there a way for my Mac to recognize the DVD burner in the other computer if I hook it up to mine using USB or something?
    Thanks

    I think you might have to change the extension to: .iso
    This might help:

  • I'm installing a printer on a MacBook Air via USB connected DVD drive.  The computer asks for my password.  I don't hink we ever had one.  Is there a default password ("admin"

    I'm installing a printer on a MacBook Air using an external DVD drive via USB.  The computer is asking for my password to authorize changes to the system.  I don't htink I ever put one on the computer and "admin" and "password" don't work.  Is there a default password?  Or a way to change a password that has been forgotten, wothout resetting the computer and wiping everything out?  Thanks. 

    Many thanks.  As it happens, I wen to the local Apple Store today for an appointment with a "genius".  She helped me reset the password. And as I look at the screens on the page that you connected me to, they're the same as the genius used.  So your suggesstion was right on the money, and now I'm all set.  Thanks again.

  • No CD/DVD drive in my computer

  • No CD/DVD drive in My Computer on Satellite Pro M70

    The DVD/CD drive on my M70 is not showing up on Win Explorer or Device Manager now.
    If I insert a CD/DVD it looks at it and the light comes on, but then nothing. If I press the DVD button on the keypad it says "The CD or DVD drive is not inserted. Please insert the drive which can play CD or DVD."
    Any suggestions?

    I think this is a simply problem with the registry entries.

  • Downloading old hard drive from crashed computer

    Is there a ESATA connection on my HP Envy 20. I'm trying to download the hard drive from my old computer. I removed the hard drive and purchased a BlacX Hard Drive ESATA Docking Station. If this isn't the correct way to download it, what do i need to use?

    When requesting assistance, lease provide the complete HP model name and/or product number of the computer in question.
    Most likely your computer doesn't have an eSATA port but should have USB 2.0 and/or 3.0 ports. If the "Thermaltake BlacX eSATA Docking Station" has a USB port in addition to the mentioned eSATA port and your old hard drive is a 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drive, then you will be able to use the docking station. If it doesn't have a USB port or your hard drive is IDE/PATA, then you will need a diffferent external device.

    thanks

    Hi mate
    Dont worry it seems its just a registry issue.
    First of all remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager list.
    Then go to registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    +HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}+
    Details here:

    Then reboot the notebook.
    Wait until the OS has recognized the CD/DVD drive again and check it.

    Hi
    It is possible that your DVD drive has wrong region settings.
    In this case it is not able to watch all possible DVD movies from different regions.
    Of course you can change the settings 4 times. But after this changing the settings are fixed and its not possible to change it anymore.
