Able to read dvd's but not cd's
dvd's play but not cd's
Post this question on the MacPro hardware forum since it likely has nothing to do with iTunes.
If it truly doesn't play any CDs at all then probably it's the optical drive. I believe it uses different components to play CDs vs. DVDs and part of it could be broken.

Drive reads DVD's but not CD's
In the last few days my drive has stopped reading every form of CD. I put a dvd in it and it immediately ran. When i put the cd in it will scan for a while then spit it back out after about 10 seconds. Any thoughts?
I find it interesting that there are issues of this sort dating back to 2005 and before with the superdrive not reading CDs, yet Apple has done nothing about it. Some pointed to software updates, others to bad Western Digital files.
All I know is that my 2009 24" iMac hasn't been able to read CDs of any kind for the last couple of months, and it *****. My 2008 MBP had the same problems within the warranty period, and they replaced the superdrive. Now it's having problems too, though it can still generally read most discs.
Someone from Apple, please read these forums and respond to the issues that are plaguing your loyal customers. -
My MBP read DVD/CD but NOT Mac osX installation DVD (tiger or Leopard)
Hi,
I read a lot of discussion but I didn't find the same problem.
So I have a MBP 15", 2.16Ghz intel core duo, and 2 Go RAM.
I have the 10.5.8 version installed, and I want to erase the disk and do a re-install of 10.5 because I've got some bugs :
- my MBP starts really slowly (about 15min),
- it bugs when I suspend the activity (black screen, nothing works... I have to push the "ON" button a longtime to stop the mac, )
- and other ponctual bugs.
The problem is that my MBP don't read the installation DVD (leopard or even Tiger).
It reads the DVD, I heard that the DVD turns, but after 3/4 try, the MBP ejects the DVD.
But It reads Blank CD, DVD (many zone)... Only the installation DVD is not reading.
I've already try :
-to begin in safemode (with SHIFT button => it is not ok)
- to push "C" key" at the restart (it's not ok, the MBP eject before blue screen.. it seems that the MBP is waiting to eject the install DVD to start)
- to create an other account (not ok)
- to restart the V/P RAM 5 times (not ok)
So, Is there a solution ? If the Mac can read sometimes CD or movie DVD, that mean that the otpical drive isn't broken...
I'm waiting your help
(sorry if there's some english mistakes !)So, I've tried to start in target disc mod with a firewire.... Not lucky, I can read in the "information System" that my firewire is not recognized. It's weird because I can charge my ipod with firewire, but the target mode doesn't work !!!
message in french :
Bus FireWire :
Attention : Impossible de répertorier les périphériques FireWire.
(average Translate = impossible to index firewire's peripherals)
Do you have some solutions... I still not re-install MAC OSX... and I haven't an external HD (not in shop too !!) -
Macbook reads DVD's but not CD's
Back in March 2013 I had my DVD/CD optical driver replaced as I could not read/write CD's on it and towards the end DVD's. I thought the problem was fixed as DVDs and CD's were playing fine again. I just rented a movie on line (whether this is connected I do not know) and now it wont read CD's! The driver tries to read the CD (Ive tried 5 different ones so far - including one brand new never played), has a few goes then spits it out without any error message.
What can I do? Is there a fix? Can I get a replacement on a faulty optical driver seeing as it was less than a year ago?If your MacBook is outside of warranty or an AppleCare plan I am afraid you are out of luck. Repairs come with a 90 day warranty of their own, but that has passed as well. It looks like you will need to pay for another repair.
Best of luck. -
Function module - HR_TIME_RESULTS_GET :Able to read cluster ZES but not ZL
Hi,
We have an employee record where previously is successfully evaluated
until 22 Aug 2007.
The user made a change that is dated effective from Jul 2001.
Thus the record is re-evaluated starting from Jul 2001 again.
An evaluation error is hit on 14 Jun 2005.
The cluster result for the months after Jun 2005 still remains.
When we use the function HR_TIME_RESULTS_GET, we can retrieve the
cluster table ZES for the month Aug 2007.
However, we are not able to do so for cluster ZL using the same
function.
Any idea ?
Thanks.Solved it another way by using a local variable and changing the flag when it goes in the loop and when it doesn't
FLAG = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_TIME_RESULTS_GET'
EXPORTING
get_pernr = PERNR-PERNR
get_pabrj = it_t549q-pabrj
get_pabrp = it_t549q-pabrp
TABLES
GET_TBUFF = TGETBUFF
get_zl = it_zl
get_pt = it_PT
get_alp = it_ALP
get_c1 = it_C1
EXCEPTIONS
no_period_specified = 1
wrong_cluster_version = 2
no_read_authority = 3
cluster_archived = 4
technical_error = 5.
LOOP AT it_pt.
FLAG = 1.
DO stuff with the data...
ENDLOOP.
If Flag =0.
DO STuff with Empty Table...
End if

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time. -
PDX index works in adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe X !!
Hello I have some commercial genealogy DVD's, bought a few years ago, with PDX files on them that work fine with adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe reader X. Adobe reader X says they are invalid PDX index files. Ofcourse adobe says that version X is Backward compatible and I must contact the vendor of my dvd's !!!.
Does anybody else has this problem ?
I do not have the pro version so I cannot rebuild the indexes myself.

PS for now I have removed version 10 and re-installed version 9.4

"Adobe Reader X doesn't support search catalogs created with Acrobat 5 or earlier.
You may try Adobe Reader 9 or create new catalogs with Acrobat X Pro."
I actually contacted my vendor and he is sending me a new disk free of charge . He told me he had to destroy his whole stock of cd's that contains old pdx files. -
Scripts works in Simulator and Apple DVD player but not on TV
I have a basic project with two different tracks.
The first one is video and audio. Plays "as is".
The second has video, two audio and one subtitle. Depending on which button, the second Track should be played with different audio and with/without subtitles.
(I use GPRM 1 to set the subs stream, GPRM 2 for the audio and GPRM 3 for menu button navigation).
On the second Track I have a pre-script that sets the streams depending on the value of GPRM 1 and 2.
Works fine in Simulator and in Apple DVD player, but not on the stand-alone player.
Any idea what might be the issue here?
in short:
Button 1: Play Track 1 "as is" (audio 1, no subs)
Button 2: Play Track 2, audio 1, subs on
Button 3: Play Track 2, audio 2, subs off
Button 4: Play Track 2, "as is" (audio 1, subs off)
Menu button and End Jump should go to the corresponding menu button.
Many thanks for your help.It is part personal preference, part artistic, part what makes the user experience the best so there may not be one "right" answer and I have often made menus one way than changed them when viewing the DVD for something that seemed to work better.
Looking at you description I started playing with some ideas in my head and started typing them, then changed what I was writing
It sounds like you want chapter selections for both track 1 and track 2? If so it may make sense to have the initial menu have Track 1 and Track 2 buttons which then link to sub menus where there is "Play All," selections for each section of each movie and one last button for the preferences.
Alternatively you could also place the preferences selection button on the main menu, though since Track 1 does not sound like it really has preferences you need to make sure that users do not become confused and think they have turned something on/off and are not seeing these options when they thought they selected them when they play back Track 1.
Also with 6 to 8 chapter markers you may be getting close to the point where scripting could make it easier if your selections are just to play the sections - in other words for track 2 four stories take care of the combinations Audio 1/Sub Off, Audio 1 Subs On, Audio 2 Subs Off, Audio 2 Sub On. If the chapter selection starts the track a scene then plays through you can target chapter markers in the story so 4 stories takes care of it. If you are just playing sections you would need 4 x 6 or 8 chapters - 24 or 32 stories roughly. But it is actually fairly quick to do - just set up the intial Play All with all subtitles and audio selections unchecked except for "1" then copy from there. Probably should take under 10-15 minutes or so
Put a real quick thing together for a quick view of the tracks. I can flesh it out more if you like.

The main menu will be the title menu, then the sub-menus (including the set up menus) can be placed in the same VTS as the applicable tracks which can help a bit with DVD performance speed. Since there is 6 to 8 chapter markers on a track each of the main sub-menus would have 8-10 buttons which can work in the design. -
My Mac mini won't recognize iphone 4 photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space. Help thanks
The photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted from your phone using third-party software, if you want them on your computer, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Since you're using a Mac, you can use this:

Whenever I try to rent a movie, Apple TV buffers and does not come back. I am able to see other programs, but not able to rent movies. And the movie charge still goes on my bill.
Apple TV uses iTunes. The reason you can't rent through your ATV is because you can't rent movies through iTunes Canada. Sadly, as this is a user-to-user forum, no one here would know when or if rentals will come to Canada.

Sound on DVD players, but not computer??
I had to switch from my mac to a PC in order to burn a DVD. I can get the DVD to work in a regular DVD player, but in PC's there is Video but no Sound?
Any help would be great!
Thanks All!I had the same bizarre problem. Burned DVDs would play with sound on commercial DVD players, but not on my PowerBook through the DVD Player application. Attempting to solve the problem, I used Handbrake to rip the DVDs. The ripped files would play fine with sound if placed on my 5G iPod, but not on my Mac through QuickTime (still video only, no sound). This fixed the probem: launch Audio MIDI Setup (it is in your Utilities folder) and check the volume output sliders. One of mine was set to zero output, even though I had never before launched Audio MIDI Setup. I moved the output slider controls to maximum. Problem solved. Good luck.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.
You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
