DVD Player error 69889,  Mountain Lion 10.8.5

Suddenly my MacBook Pro has stopped reading some DVDs.   The DVD loads and then stops with a blank screen and error message 69889.  I have seen prior posts that advise deleting specific settings in the Application Support folder. Unfortunately, I cannot locate the DVD player folder.  IT does not appear as a subfolder of the Application Support folder.  
I download VLC DVD player and the DVDs work fine with it.   I would like to fix the problem with the OSX DVD player.  Any suggestions on the exact path the the DVD Player/Settings folder?
Thanks

  • Why won't DVD Player work with Mountain Lion?

    I just tried to play a DVD on my Macbook Pro that worked just fine before I updated to Mountain Lion. Each time I try to play it, I get an error telling my that DVD Player has "unexpectedly quit." I've tried shutting down and restarting with no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I want to love the Mountain Lion update, but this is really frustrating.

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19896549#19896549
    also, I had the same problem. What fixed it for me (so far) was to launch DVD Player, then load the DVD in the drive. Using that procedure got it working, and it has been working since.

  • Apple DVD Player Crashes in Mountain Lion

    Hello everyone
    I inserted a region 2 DVD in my Macbook pro with Mountain Lion OS but the built in Apple DVD Player crashes. This is the first time I have tried to play a region 2 DVD.
    Now I have tried to play the region 2 DVD with VLC player, now VLC cannot play the DVD.
    Is this a know issue?
    Please help
    Thank you

    No, the DVD worked fine on a different Computer and DVD player.

  • DVD Player error -69902?

    I've successfully played DVDs on my iMac (24" 2.4 GHz Aluminum) -- Front Row works like a charm! However, I've recently encountered a DVD that has issues with my computer:
    A couple of weeks ago I received the Beatles' "Help!" two-DVD set in timely fashion after ordering it through Amazon.ca. Unfortunately, although the second disc works perfectly on my computer (a 2007 Apple iMac 24" 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB of RAM), the first disc will not play past the FBI warning and the opening page (where Play, Subtitles, Settings, Chapters is located). Whether I use either Front Row or DVD player, the result is the same: when I insert the disc into my computer, I am presented with the error message "Skipping Over Damaged Area". If, in DVD Player, I click on "Title" in order to change chapters, an error message pops up informing me "DVD Player encountered a system error. Error -69902". And in DVD Player, I am informed that this disc contains only one chapter. In any case, when I'm on the Help! opening page & I click on "Play" (in either DVD player or Front Row), nothing happens. No movie. The music keeps looping on the opening page, but not much more than that.
    Out of curiosity, I tried playing this same disc on a standalone Toshiba DVD player hooked up to my home TV, and amazingly, the disc plays fine!
    After emailing Amazon, I was instructed to return the DVD for a replacement, which arrived in the mail today. Imagine my surprise when the replacement displayed the same error messages! Before I return this disc for a refund, maybe someone can fill me in: what is DVD Player error -69902?

  • How do I get past "can't find valid dvd player" error?

    This is regarding a G4 powermac running Tiger 10.4.3
    My Sony dual layer DRX-720UL/T seems to work fine with DVD-ROM content. My kids use it for DVD-ROM games and I had no problem installing Tiger. Problem comes in when I open "DVD player" and get a "Can't find valid dvd player," error. They're connected via Firewire 400, and I've tried the USB link, just to see, but the same error comes up. I'm fairly certain that I viewed a DVD before upgrading to Tiger. The Sony is supposed to be fully mac compatiable, and even comes with Toast light 6. Again all seems to be well except for the fact that DVD player won't allow me to view a NTSC DVD. No matter how many I try.

    What drive was in this G4 prior?
    If you did not have a DVD drive, you need to use Pacifist to extract & install DVD Player.app; downloading or drag&drop won't work.
    Also, Sony drives are probably the worst when it comes to compatability; one specific model may work fine, and others not. This should be less of an issue in Tiger, but only if the problem is other than the optical drive firmware, about which you can do nothing (on a Mac), unlike Pioneer & NEC drives that have mac-based flashers available.
    If DVD Player was installed previously, based on having a DVD drive prior to Tiger install, you may want to try running the 10.4.3 Combo updater over your existing install.

  • Start up DVD not recognised by mountain lion

    My start up DVD not recognised by mountain lion-how do I get around this for restoring from time machine?

    It's not very clear:  Are you trying to reinstall Mountain Lion from a DVD copy you made of it, for some reason?    And if so, why would that help you restore from Time Machine?  Please give more information.  Properly, to either reinstall Mountain Lion, or to Restore it from Time Machine, you need to reboot while holding down the Command - R keys as mcsound above recommended, to boot into the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition to do either.

  • Error 0x8002006E Mountain Lion - fixed?

    This error has quite the history and many threads.....
    In case this might be of any help out there, I was getting this on an i7 MBP machine that had Parallels/Windows installed on it, later removed.
    User account would throw this error after trying to burn a DVD (using Sony discs). Top speed shown was 8x. Burning at 4x produced same error and failure.
    After creating and logging into a new admin account and trashing user/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist for good measure (instantly regenerated), optical drive's top speed was shown as 24x and it burned a DVD at that speed without a hitch. Seems to be related to prior Windows install and doesn't mean drive has failed.

    I am running Mountain Lion on Mac Pro (early 2009) and the Audio MIDI Setup does not allow more than 24/96 for both Toslink and USB to my DAC - but it may be different on your machine.

  • Download error after mountain lion upload

    HI After I upgraded to 10.8 mountain lion I have since struggled to download firefox and adobe flash (get the error image file corrupted). Also I can't download in itunes (get error 50 or 8000).
    I have tried:
    reboot
    software update
    Recovery boot and re download of mountain lion but at this point it said 98 hrs for the download to take place and just stopped downloading.
    Does anyone have any ideas or does it need a reinstall from time machine. Idon't really want to do this as I've got photos etc that are from the last two weeks on there.
    Many thanks
    I enclose a screenshot of the error
    I'm running an 2.8 imac intel i5
    and obviously 10.8
    Many thanks for your help!!!

    1. Do a backup
    2. Open App Store > Purchases, download Mountain Lion and install it under Mountain Lion

  • Error with Mountain Lion Download on the App Store

    Hi there, I've come across an error which I've been unable to solve and have not found similar instances/references on the forums: I bought Mountain Lion and started downloading. I have several laptops, so I also started downloading on my main laptop. In the mean time, the first download was very slow and had 9 hours to go. The second laptop, started later, had 30 mins to go. I realized the first one was connected to my slower home wi fi (I have two), so I interrupted the download  and tried to re-download it once I connected to the fast wi-fi. When I tried to press download again, I had an error. Next to that error, a "X" (for cancel) came up.
    Then, the oddest thing happened and Mountain Lion was removed from my purchases!
    After that, I went back into purchases and when I clicked "buy" it just said "You've already purchased this, click here to download". When I did that, I got this screen. Now, nothing happens. I just get stuck here.
    I've installed Mountain Lion on the other laptop (the second one) and it seems to be working fine.
    I looked online and there was a supposed fix: to download a Lion Combo 10.7.4. I did, but when I tried to instal it, it just said that it requires a version of Lion 10.7.3. or earlier... I have 10.7.4, so this did not work.
    Any help?
    Many thanks!!!

  • Facetime Internal Error after Mountain Lion Upgrade

  • S.M.A.R.T. error and Mountain Lion will not install

    I downloaded Mountain Lion so I could use the iCloud with my iTunes for other devices and it says that there is a S.M.A.R.T. error on my hard drive and it cannot be installed.  What can I do to fix this?

    Hi, I too had the exact same thing happen.  I called support on the phone and they suggested I bring my computer into the store.  I took it in and the employee determined that the hard drive was failing and I was the third person that day with the same issue.  Luckily, it is under warranty but they had to replace the hard drive.  I still haven't gotten my computer back because they didn't have the parts.  My advice - BACK UP NOW!

  • Canon iR5050 Job Accounting Error on Mountain Lion - PAHU HELP!

    Hi --
    I specifically mentioned the user PAHU because he seems to have all the answers when it comes to this stuff.
    I am the lone Mac user using our networked Canon ImageRunner 5050.  The printer uses Job Accounting.  I have an ID and password, and I even created a second ID and password to test.
    BEFORE installing Mountain Lion, I would get a dialog box every time I printed that forced me to type in the ID/Password for the printer.  It worked just fine for years.
    AFTER installing Mountain Lion, the printer started to freak out.  My department ID is, let's say, 299.  The dialog box would pop up and I'd enter the ID number as always.  However, it would then print 299 copies of whatever it was I was printing.
    So, I uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it with the newest driver from Canon (which says on the website is UFRII 2.42; however, my Printer Prefs just says "2.0" - see attached image.)
    Now that I have the "new" driver, I don't ever get a dialog box.  Instead, it always comes up with error # 15513 and says "Incorrect ID or Password.  Specify the correct ID and Password.: 15513"
    I have used the Printer Utility and have put in every combination of ID/password I could think of -- including, as I said above, a brand new ID and password I created on the printer itself.
    I work on a large University campus and no one knows what to do.  Tech support told me to call the printer contractor.  The printer contractor told me to call the other tech support.  The other tech support told me to call the first tech support.  I even spent a few hours trying to retrieve my "old" drivers in Time Machine because I was willing to get 300 copies of whatever I wanted to print out.
    Does anyone have ANY clue what else I can do?
    Thank you.

    The new UFR2 driver for Mountain Lion functions differently to the previous versions. With regards to Dept ID (Job Accounting), you no longer have the option to get a pop-up. I don't know why Canon has changed this but they have and you therefore have to change your workflow.
    So, with the new driver installed (and you have to use this new version on Mtn Lion) you need to open the Printer Utility to enable Dept ID Management. Otherwise you get the errors you mention. Open Print & Scan and select the iR5050 printer. Then press Options & Supplies followed by Utility and then Open Printer Utility. This will open the Canon UFRII Printer Utility and have a section where you can enable Dept ID and set your ID and password. There is also a Verify button that will let you check that the ID is correct and does communicate with the printer. With the ID/pwd set you can then press Save Settings and quit the utility (you have to click on Canon UFRII Printer Utility in the menubar and select Quit - or use Command Q).
    With the Dept ID set in the utility you can now open a document and select to print to the iR5050. If you change the print dialog menu to Special Features, you should now see that Dept ID is enabled and you should be able to print and get a document out of the iR without the previous error.
    With regards to using a different ID than that set in the UFRII Utility, you can change the ID via the Special Features menu of the driver. This new ID will be used for that job, and when you print it again, the default will be use unless you open Special Features and set another ID to print with.
    Hope this helps you. Reply if you need more assistance.

  • Apple DVD PLAYER ERROR

    After installing 10.5, opening Dvd player i received this error
    There was an initialization error
    A valid video device could not be found for playback [-70017]
    I've searched all over the forums with no solutions.
    i know its not a big problem with leopard but any workarounds would be apprec.
    The apple dvd player is version 5.0

    now I do not know if this is just me but I have had issues with the DVD player
    I played a DVD from a one on the older iDVD software (before iLife 08)
    the DVD would work in Tiger fine
    I downloaded Leopard, now i get a message if i select "play from beginning of the disk" "skipping over damaged areas"
    this also caused the DVD player to not play on my mac and the DVD player locked up
    I then tried selecting "begin from last time played and everything worked fine"
    the DVD player did not lock up
    this is definitely I feel a bug but i wonder if anyone else has had the similar issue

  • DVD player error

    I have a new 15" PowerBook.
    The DVD player is not working.
    I get the following message pop up:
    There was an initialization error
    Error: -43
    Apple support say it is a software error and that I should wipe everything and reload.
    I don't really want to go through all that and was just checking to see if anyone else had experienced this and maybe had a quick fix.

    Im having problems with DVD player 4.6.5 on a Powerbook g4 1.5ghz 750 ram, os10.4.4
    dvds start to play with a black screen and then freeze the whole system - even alt-apple-escape to force quit out of dvd player
    takes ages to respond
    I went from os 10.3.3 to 10.4.0 (after a total disk erase, zeroed data) and did the update online straight after to 10.4.4
    I also have 10.4.4 on a dual 450 g4 which I recently updated and it has none of the same problems
    Im amazed that a solution to this is not easier to find on apples site - its obvious that it is happening to several people
    Has anyone found a solution???
    Toast still seems to work fine so I think perhaps its something to do with the way the new os/dvd player decodes the video off the dvd - perhaps there is some incompatibility between hardware and software in this area?
    I wonder from what version of DVD player this started happening - I had version 4.0 working fine when I was running os10.3.3
    Does anyone know if quicktime is involved at all in the playing of dvds?? and if that might be causing a problem. I noticed a quicktime installer that goes a few versions backwards from 7.0.3 or 4 (never a good sign) but no explanation to say why on the download page
    Powerbook g4 1.5ghz 750 ram (and while Im thinking of ram..... Im really annoyed at Apple for putting 2 x 256 ram chips in the powerbook g4. When I ordered a 512 ram chip along with the laptop I assumed it would take me up to 1gig but no - when I got the machine and opened it up I found out instead of apple putting one 512 chip inside that I would have to take one of the two 256 chips out in order to get the 512 one in!!!!! so I only got an extra 256meg for the price of 512 - and a 1gig chip costs 300euro!!! )
