Aperture and DVD Player no longer work with NVIDIA 330M, help!

I recently got my computer back from the Apple Store, had the display switched because the glass kept falling off.
Anyways, since getting it back, I noticed DVD Player doesn't work anymore, it gives me:
There was an initialization error
A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]
And when I try to start Aperture 3.3:
Error
The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
I have a mid-2010 MBP i5 2.4Ghz with 8GB memory, running OSX 10.7.4.
Things i have tried:
Reset PRAM
Reset SMC
Boot into recovery mode and fix permissions
Boot into 32 bit kernel
force fsck
Create new user and try from that account
Also my video conference software, Jabber gives an error and quits too. Its something with the video.
Switching to Intel HD video, everything works fine. Only with the NVIDIA 330M do I get this error.
Does anyone have any idea what this may be or what I could try?

I'm having exactly the same problem. Additionally, the DVDs I make aren't recognized by other Macs I've tried. All the Preferences are set correctly.
My dvd player no longer reads commercial movies or a
dvd project I just burned with it. Disks no longer
show on my desktop when they are inserted. When I
got to dvd player and manually press play it reads
"not Permitted" for both.
The burner does work in as I played the dvd in my
home dvd player.

IMac DVD player no longer working

Hi,
I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8
My iMac is not playing DVDs anymore. When I insert a DVD a pop-up window appears saying: "You inserted a blank DVD. Choose an action from the pop-up menu or click ignore." The DVD I inserted isn't blank and it says the same thing when I try other DVDs.
From the action menu there is: Open Finder, Open iDVD, Open iTunes, Open Disk Utility. I have tried to open with iDVD and it didn't work. I tried to click on Open Finder and then the DVD shows up on the dektop but it is blank, nothing happens when I click into it the picture of the DVD.
I think I have caused this to happen by accidentally deleting something in the applications folder. Any ideas of how I can reinstall the software that runs DVDs on the iMac?
When I used to insert a DVD I would get the picture of the DVD on the desktop and I would be able to see it on "Front Row" where all the entertainment is.
Thanks!

DVD player does not work with latest update

I installed the latest update 10.8.2 and now my brand new Superdrive will not work with new MacBook Pro Retina display. When I plug in Superdrive and try to start a DVD, it say "DVD quit unexpectedly......" Took to Apple store and they said it was latest update. Anyone else with this problem?

Dear all,
Perhaps you found out yourselves but the latest Software Update, called OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update, solves this issue. I recommend you install it and restart your Mac.
When you insert a DVD in the drive and DVD Player launches, you will be prompted to confirm the region encoding (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, based on the encoding of the DVD you are about to play). This is normal, and you should confirm it again, even if you did it previously.
Naturally, if most of your DVDs are encoded for one region and you want to play a disc encoded for another region, please remember you may make a limited number of region changes when you play other DVDs, and the last one will be permanent. So, act with caution and sensibility.

Command, Control, and Option keys no longer works with Citrix Receiver after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5

At first my keyboard did not work with Citrix Receiver after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5 and I found the workaround by using "cmd + tab," however, once my keyboard work within Citrix, the "command, control, and option" keys no longer work. Does anyone have a remedy for this?

DVD player that will work with a portable hard drive

I have a large collecion of movie on my hard drive. I am interested in purchasing a new DVD player and am interested in being able to transfer movies from my computer to a western digital / My passbook portable USB hard drive. and play them directly from the had drive without burning them to a DVD disk. Any suggestions?

I think some DivX-certified players can play DivX content from USB storage devices and not just disc media. Anything that works with thumb drives should work with external hard drives.
One exception: 2.5" hard drives need a LOT of power from the USB port, some players might not like this. 3.5" hard drives with an external power supply are a safe bet with anything that supports thumb drives.
A PS3 will definitely do the trick. Many Blu-Ray players are likely to do it too. BBY lists 41 Blu-Ray players with USB ports - but on some of those the USB port may only be for WiFi, not sure.

Dvd player no longer works, says it needs 10.7

Just tried to run DVD player on my 10.6.8 Macbook Pro but it says it requires 10.7 or later. I can't upgrade to Lion since it drops support for older applications using PowerPC code. Who in Apple decided to update applications on 10.6 so they will no longer run?

My version on 10.6.8 is 5.5 last modified on 6/14/2011. I also have a newer iMac that I upgraded to 10.7 last month. Was not pleased to learn that several of my applications using older PowerPC code no longer worked so I elected not to upgrade my MacBook for now.
I pulled version 5.4 of DVD Player off of my Time Machine backup disk and it works fine. Thanks for the lead.
Now the question is how did my DVD Player get updated to version 5.5 on my 10.6.8 system? Seems like Apple has a bug in their update system.

Progams that work with Alltel and Suddenlink are no longer working with VERIZON (IRC)

I have worked this issue TO DEATH already and am getting FED UP!
I have been polite and nice and called customer support to get very short and not very explicit answers to this issue.
Complaint #1: When I call technical support and ask questions more complicated than " How do I plug in my computer?" they inform they are transferring me to TECHNICAL support. Okay so who did I call in the first place if not tech support.
Problem: IRC ( Internet Relay Chat) Is one of the main things that I enjoy doing online. Some do games, some do work. I do it all through my little IRC program. When I was with Alltel and had my little blackberry pearl. I could even get onto irc just fine that way. Getting on via a cell phone is kind of a pain. Small keyboard and lots of typing isn't my idea of that relaxing but.. okay whatever at least I could get on. Since Alltel became Verizon I was told to upgrade my phone to the brand new Blackberry Curve. Well now IRC didn't work. I upgraded to the LG Vortex. Now it works on my phone. So I upgraded my wireless card too and IRC worked just fine for a long time. NOW we are back to the same old same old.
For those of you not familiar with the program just wiki it. I have been told by NUMEROUS customer support reps that this program is not being blocked so this is the list of things I went through to make sure it was indeed NOT me or my computer.
Step 1: System restored before most recent updates to the last date that it was working.
NO GO
Step 2: Disabled firewall and virus software temporarily and even turned down my security on my browser
NO GO
Step 3: Re updated my computer and updated my firmware on my MIFI2200 card.
No go
Step 4-7 Called customer Support
NOPE.
Still waiting. I am paying for a service that is not providing. My entire family was with Alltel and is now with Sprint. I just keep asking myself why am I still with Verizon when all we ever do is fight. I hate to admit it to the kids but I think it's time for a divorce from you if we can't get this issue resolved. Before upgrading to these devices I even asked store reps if irc programs would work and they assured me " OH YES! With these new upgrades things will be better than ever!"
I realize to some this seems like not a very big deal, but when I am paying for a service so that I can come home relax, maybe take a few art commisions while chatting on irc and all the sudden I either can't use it or can use it when I couldn't before it's amazingly frustrating. I have taken my computer over to other people's houses to see if turning my security all the way back up as well as my firewall made a difference, but on any provider OTHER than verizon I can connect just fine.
Tell me WHY Verizon. Tell me why you either can't fix this.. or won't fix this.
Security issues? That's my problem. If I want to connect to a DNS server based program that connects via different ports.. that should be MY decision. You should NOT get to make that choice for me.
It's amazing I went to the customer support for IRC and they told me that Verizon doesn't allow you to use IRC. I have checked NUMEROUS boards and discussion forums only to have them tell me that VERIZON does NOT allow you to use IRC. However when I talk to Verizon they say " No it must be you.. " Well I am not taking that excuse anymore. I've done my share of work on this problem. Now it's your turn. Sorry to be rude.. but I paid for the mIRC program, and take artwork commisions over it as well. I probably pay more for verizon's service than I would with sprint (so says the rest of the family).
Please give me some real answers and real tech support.
Thanks for any help.

I choose option 3. The moment I talk to them about anything more complicated than the bare basics of getting connected they tell me they will transfer me to " tech support." Very frustrating lol. I always wonder who I was on the phone with prior to that because it says Tech support but clearly there must be different levels of their support lines. Sometimes I get someone who will talk and work with me, but generally I get someone who says " Okay I have down your issue and I'll pass it along.." then they hang up. However I have been transferred twice in one sitting from "tech support" to Tech support. So I dunno. I think they don't have an answer and so they run me in circles.

GB's Disappearing and DVD drive no longer works

I am having a problem after installing Leopard. I installed it and it worked perfectly for a day. I did nothing more than create a few word documents and my storage on my internal hard drive fell from 36 gb left to 18.6 gb left. I restarted my Mac Book Pro and I am now showing 23.45 gb, so I magically got some of the space back, but not all of it. I have tried deleting things off my hard drive and they show a difference in the gb count, but then go back around 23 no matter how much I delete. I checked to make sure time machine wasn't backing up on my local drive and it isn't. I have checked the disk using the disk utility. I have check for viruses using Symantec. Any ideas. Also my DVD player when you insert a DVD just spits it out. Not sure what to do about that either - any help would be much appreciated.

You're welcome - good to hear it's Ok
All the best,

My DVD player does not work with some DVDs

My DVD does not work with certain DVDs. Do I need to get it replaced or is there some other problem.

Could it be that they're out-of-region DVDs? Which model MBP do you have (15" late 2011, for example) and which version of OS X are you running?

SONY CD/DVD Player won't work with my HD DVR. Need advice please.

Just purchased it and I wired to the HD DVR receiver. Can't get it to setup or work at all. Any clues out there? Thanks.

Are you saying you connected the DVD player to Verizon's STB (HD DVR)? If that is the case, there is no configuration that will work since there are no active inputs on the boxes from Verizon.
You need to connect the DVD player directly to an input on your TV or Home Theater system (if you have one).

DVD player doesn't work with apple TV

I have an mid-2011 27" iMac and a third generation Apple TV. I just discovered that DVDs will not play on the Apple TV using airplay and mirroring from my iMac. The sound is there, but the video is displayed as a screen filled with white and gray squares. Any suggestions?

Thanks Rudegar and Brian. I am not attempting to play copyrighted material. I teach German in a high school and I have downloaded a series from PBS to show my students. The videos play properly on my iMac, but not when I mirror my iMac to the Apple TV in my classroom. I have many YouTube videos that play well when mirrored, but the material I saved as DVDs are causing the problem. Had I simply saved them in the mov. format, I would not be having this problem. Does anyone know if there is a solution to make the DVD player function properly when mirroring to an Apple TV?

Standard Dvd Player no Longer Works

All of a sudden my computer has stopped recognizing dvd's. The drive accepts them, I hear it spinning, but no icons appear. This is true for both movies and software. it still takes audio cd's, but dvd's have stopped working. any thoughts?

Yes go to your Apple and shut down..
Wait 4 or 5 minutes,,
Restart computer..Go to Mac HD open it go to Applications..click on it and scroll down to DVD Player, Click it and when it opens to the Black Screen..
Do Not Touch Anything.. Put your Commercial DVD Movie in and wait.. It will take a minute to read the encryption and security on the DVD and it should start playing your Movie....Cheers....Don

Cannot download updates, and I can no longer work with RAW files without them. Help!

I used to be able to get Bridge to read RAW files, but I cannot any longer. I think I need an updated plug-in, but when I try to go to help-updates and download them, the message I get for all three (Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 update, Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Photoshop CS5, and Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update) is this: "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." I have tried shutting down and restarting the computer a few times over the course of several days, and have even tried updating my mac software. I always get the same message. Please help! Thank you!!

Ok, Adobe. I'm having a huge problem with your customer service here. You list no email or phone to contact you, yet I have spent hundreds of dollars on a product I can't use unless I can get an answer to this question, which appears to be a problem with your system. I've used the forum, which is the only option you list for contacting you, and have heard no response. Can anyone please help me?
