DVD from TV DVD Recorder plays on one iMac and not another

I've recorded DVD+Rs on a Sony DVD/VHS analog/digital recorder. They play fine on my white iMac, but appear as a blank burnable disk on my aluminum iMac. Could this be a software issue of something I've added to the white iMac they do play on? Darned if I know what it is...
Any troubleshooting suggestions gratefully accepted.

Is it possible to download iOS 5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

Is it possible to download iOS 5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

Thank you for your reply.
I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
It may take me some time to figure this out.

Magic Trackpad works with one iMac ..not another?

I have both an earlier Intel iMac and a 27", i5 iMac .. the Magic trackpad is a wonder. I love it, but I have lost contact with my 27" ... there seems to be nothing I can do for it to make contact?! I've done all sorts of fixes, but neither Bluetooth nor the trackpad window in the Sys. Prefs will see it.
I have read references to people saying; "Make it a favorite." I do not know what that means, nor how to do it. I was just going to buy another Trackpad, but this works fine with my intel iMac. As soon as I walk in the other room - I can use it.
I'd appreciate a little advice. Thanks.
Jim

Jim,
The trackpad can be paired with multiple machines but Connected to only one. When it's connected the other machine will ignore it and even refuse to pair.
If the macs are in seperate rooms at least 33 ft way you can do it by powering off the trackpad (this will disconnect from mac1), walk to the other room and power on. Mac2 should grab it. If your too close it's possible Mac 1 will grab it again.

c:set works in one page and not another.. rediculous problem

Hi all,
im having one hell of a strange problem..
i have this bit of code on one page..
profile_body.jsp
<jsp:useBean id="user" scope="request" beanName="com.insaini.publogs.business.UserBean" type="com.insaini.publogs.business.ProfileInterface" />
<jsp:setProperty name="user" property="user" value="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" />
<c:set value="${user.profile}" var="profile" />and i have this in my editProfile_body.jsp
<jsp:useBean id="location" scope="request" beanName="com.insaini.publogs.business.LocationBean" type="com.insaini.publogs.struts.listeners.LocationListener" />
<jsp:useBean id="org" scope="request" beanName="com.insaini.publogs.business.OrganizationBean" type="com.insaini.publogs.struts.listeners.OrganizationListener" />
<jsp:useBean id="user" scope="request" beanName="com.insaini.publogs.business.UserBean" type="com.insaini.publogs.business.ProfileInterface" />
<jsp:setProperty name="user" property="user" value="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" />
<c:set value="${user.profile}" var="profile" />the profile_body.jsp loads fine.. but the editProfile_body.jsp does not load at all and its throwing this error..
An error occurred at line: 17 in the jsp file: /jsp/includes/editProfile_body.jsp
Generated servlet error:
org.apache cannot be resolved or is not a field
where line 17 points to
<jsp:setProperty name="user" property="user" value="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" />
this makes absolutely no sense since this exact same line works in the profile_body.jsp..
any ideas?

I think the problem is that you have an object in scope that has the name "org". Then, somewhere in the Java Code generated by the offending jsp:setProperty tag, there is a line that looks like:
xxx = org.apache...
What ends up happening is Java is looking in the object you have named org for a public (or otherwise visible) member named apache, and not finding it.
This is a naming conflict, and gets resolved by renaming the <jsp:useBean id="org" object to something else (preferrably something other name org, com, net, or any other package name your system might have).

What would cause a program to compile and run on one machine and not anothe

Ok, I have an rmi application that uses the ClassFileServer provided by sun as the codebase argument to the server class I use to bind a remote data object to the rmiregistry. On my machine all parts of the program work as expected. However, when I distribued my java source hierarchy and the text file containing the commands to run and execute it to three different machines, I received the infamous unmarshalling exception when the server tried to bind a remote data object. For the life of me, I can't figure out the root of this problem. I'm only distributing the source, no classes, and the commands entered to build and run the application are exactly the same. I've tried running this on different drives of my system and had no issues. I should also indicate that I tried setting the codebase=file:///classes/ instead of using the ClassFileSever and it still didn't work on these three other machines.
All of the machines are running java 1.4.2_0x.

Hi
Strange error you semms to have.
What about port 2001?
If your codebase is .....localhost:2001 then you are using port 2001 and not 1099.
Is 2001 open?
Does the machines on the other subnet (the ones that fails) try to contact a mchine on another subnet?
Ex.
Failing machine IP: 15.10.2.3
Other machine IP: 16.23.4.6
Then you might have a problem!
I don't know why but here at my work some have 15 as subnet and some has 16 as subnet and we can NOT ping or contect eachother computers.
Must be something in the firewalls that blocks it.

Why will DVD play on one player but not another??

Hi,
I made an ISO file using devede and then burnt it to a DVD using K3B. The finished DVD will work on a Magnavox player but not a JVC. Is there anything I can do about this??? Do some players have a "must be produced commercially" filter or something???

First, I am assuming you recorded your iso on +R type media. Next, I'm guessing that the player that won't play your DVD is the older of the two players. Some DVD players, especially older ones don't like +R media. If this is the case, here is a possible fix.
Here is a thread on another forum which discuses changing the booktype on your DVD burner. Here is a quote from the original post:
There have been many questions asked about how to booktype +R media to DVD-ROM
Many standalone Players, HDD recorders/players and games consoles don't like +R media but they are happy enough to play -R or DVD-ROM.
Some drive brands have tools to change this option but others don't. I have found that the easiest way to change your BOOKTYPE setting is to use a small burning tool called IMGBurn which can be found doing a Google search.
Below you can see some screen shots which guide you through changing your BOOKTYPE setting. For this I have used my NEC4551 but IMGBurn supports NU-Tech, Plextor, Ricoh, Samsung, BenQ, LG, Lite-on and NEC.
Once you have changed your BOOKTYPE setting, when you burn a +R/+RW disc it will be burned as a DVD-ROM which is the same as a bought movie and most players are happy to play these.
Since my DVD players are happy with +R media, I haven't tried this. Both of my players are fairly new, and I made sure that +R was listed on the box as one of the formats accepted by that player.
As usual, try this at your own risk.

Anybody find cause/fix for movies that play one day and not another?

I have a lot of movies. I find that at times I go back to watch a movie I have watched before and it errors saying cannot play movie, unrecognized format. Though I have watched it before on the AppleTV without issue.
I try again maybe a week later and it works. Then later, others won't play.
Very frustrating when I know the movie works as I have watched it before.
So, just curious if anybody else has seen this and knows why or at least a quick fix to get it to work. Rebooting the ATV and/or computer doesn't work.

It happens (when it does, as mentioned, doesn't always have issue) when streaming a movie.
eg: I get new movie. I have sync options to sync 5 most recent unwatched movies and 10 most recent unwatched tv shows and all music.
So new movie is on ATV. I watch. All is good.
When done ATV does it's thing and takes it off and brings over the next most recent to keep my count at 5 local to the ATV.
Later I want to watch again when wife gets home or something. Here is when sometimes I can watch (it streams) and other times (just happening more and more lately) it will say unrecognized format.
Yet if I go pick another movie that I know is not local to the ATV thus will stream, it will work. Just random various movies won't.
If I go to iTunes and mark one that isn't playing as unwatched (and it was more recent than another on the ATV) then it will sync over to the ATV and be local again and play fine again.
Thing is it doesn't happen all the time. Some stuff will stream fine, other times won't. Real pain and has only been getting worse lately.
Guess I know that the error message of "unrecognized format" is just wrong and it that must be some general message because I know it is in right format.

Why does new Skype work with one user, and not another?

Running 19.4.5, I installed the latest version of Skype. (I do not activate it on login) This opens, but crshes/unexspectedly quits on "sign in". I tried the same with a "new user", and the app opened fine. I compared the two users to make sure that Skype was correctly featured in my usual user. No difference. Still crashes.
Does anyone have an idea what could be conflicting with Skype?

Right, problem solved! . Am posting this as it may help in future. I use a useful little app called Window Dragon,(a haxie) which helps resize windows with the mouse. This was causing the conflict, but had not with earlier versions of Skype. All I had to do was exclude Window Dragon from working with the new updated version of Skype and everything back to normal.
Solutions to apps that "quit unexpectedly" or crash often mention that haxies can often come into conflict with apps. So best to start with any haxies one has installed, disable, test etc..

Why does iPhoto 8.1.2 work on one iMac but not another when both are the same spec both running Mavericks 10.9.1?

I have a studio of 7 iMacs all running Mavericks 10.9.1, six of the machines are able to open iPhoto 8.2.1 but for some reason after updating the seventh, iPhoto vanished completely from that machine. I reinstalled it from a copy I had saved on a HDD but it now says it's unsupported with this version of OSX. I don't want to pay the £10 + for a piece of software that is only being used to import photos from the occasional iPhone so wont be installing the new version, especially as I know 8.2.1 does work on Mavericks.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Reinstall v8 from the install disk as, at a guess, the version of the HDD is missing components.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

MultiServer Monitor Works on one PC and not another??

Super strange, but I have two PCs at my desk. On one of them I can log into a CF 8 server and bring up the MultiServer Monitor and add all my CF 8 Servers and it works great. On my other PC (the one I setup JUST to display the Monitor all day) it always says Permission Denied for all the servers. The server I connect to and the credentials used are identical in both cases. Also, both PCs are on the same subnet (not on the same subnet as the servers). Anyone got any ideas?? Notice that in both screen shots (one from each PCs browser) the URL is the same and I've keyed the username/password used on the failing workstation more than a dozen times to make sure I'm keying it correctly. I've even copied and pasted it so I know it is correct. Thanks for any input.

When you upgraded, did you remove the first install? I can't think of a reason off-hand, but have screwed up java before, and an update file may not overwrite the messed uyp part. just a thought, tah.

Send email works for one user and not another ?!

Hi there
Am Apex Newbie and am developing in-house helpdesk / ticket / call logging / issue tracker type system ..
Am putting final bells and whistles on app like sending email on raising of a problem. This is being done via Apex_Mail using new Send Email page process attached to a button.
I.e it's not being done via UTL_SMTP explicitly in a trigger or anything.
Here's the problem for userA the sending of email works perfectly for userB it doesn't work .. does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be wrong ?
I thought I read somewhere that UTL_SMTP wasn't granted publicly in Apex and had to be explicitly given to individual users but I may well be mistaken.
Any help / suggestions gratefully received .. all I can think of doing is logging onto Apex Admin and looking at the mail queue and see if that will give me any clue but Apex Admin is not really my bag per se ?!
Thanks in advance
Wiggywig

Hi,
Can you see any error from Apex logs?
Check mail queue and mail log
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/admin.40/e15521/adm_mg_service_set.htm#sthref348
What email address you use in From field?
Somehow I think this relates more to SMTP server policy about sender than Apex.

IMessage works in one network and not another...

I just bought a cit 200 for my other house. It works on one computer and not another

Anyone have a CIT200 Linksys Skype phone? I've narrowed the problem down to one computer. When using on another computer it worked, the computer recognized the hardware. On the other computer, it doesn't recognize the hardware. Have loaded and reloaded the driver innumerable times using different usb ports etc. Could there be a virus. I've seen that before with hardware. Any ideas? Help!!!

could be your computer's firewall is preventing the proper installation of your CIT200. try disabling and reinstalling the drivers again.

Possible to use Time Capsule as back up for one computer and not another?

Here is what I want to do. I want to use this as a router wireless router for wi-fi. I have a mac so I want my data to be backed up automatically. now my brother also has a laptop and want him to use the wifi, but i dont want him to access any of my backed up files. is this possible? what are the steps? he has a pc thanks.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Yes, I did some research on the echolife and I don't think it has WDS functionality available. I do have another 3Com router that I'm thinking of firing up again. I know it has WDS functionality. The question is, would the Time Capsule be compatible with it in order to extend the network? I am not keen to shell out for another Apple base station if at all possible.
