Burned dvd not showing name or files.

I have burned an archive dvd by copying files onto the blank dvd and selecting the "burn" button from the finder window. Everything burns correctly and once the dvd has finished being verified, I have my uniquely named dvd and files displayed.
However, once the dvd is ejected, and then re-inserted, the dvd no longer has the name I have given it, and shows no files in the window.
How do I correct this? Are all the archive dvds I've burned no good?
Robb

The above burned dvds mount correctly on other drives and files can be copied from them.
How do I get my drive to recognize these dvds as having been burned and contain data?

I am unable to save a keynote file as powerpoint. The 'save as' option is not showing in the files menu

Hi, I downloaded the Keynote from the App store. I shoudl be able to save the presentation as a powerpoint, but the 'Save as" option is not showing in the file menu. Please help with a solution.

Export
If you are using Lion, there is no Save As in iWork apps. It is no longer a menu item.

Default keyboards folder in illustrator CC not showing- no .kys file in apps folder

default keyboards folder in illustrator CC not showing- no .kys file in apps folder, The keyboard shorcuts in Illustrator -Edit-shorcuts, don't show default shortcuts either...should I reinstall Illustrator CC?

If you are on a Mac, then the default keys should be in Adobe Illustrator CSX/Presets/en_US/Keyboard Shortcuts. If it's not there then a reinstall would be in order possibly running the cleaner tool in between.

Remote server view not showing folders or files

My customer uses Dw CS3 with XP SP3. Everything worked fine until their ISP changed their web server. After the change remote site view does not show folders or files although uploading to server works fine with Dw. If I try with Filezilla or any other FTP client everything works normaly. I'm no Dw expert just a sys.admin, but I don't know what settings I should try anymore. I tested this with dw cs 4 also and same problem there.
If I check the FTP LOG from dw it shows the file listing correctly and that I have rights to the folders and files.

Do you know what changed on the FTP server? I would love to know what it is. And if you have been able to solve the issue, then we might be able to provide the steps to reproduce/prevent the problem to Adobe's bug report form.
I have had rather iffy experience with DW's FTP feature with various hosts through the years. Enough so that I only try out DW's FTP when I upgrade, and always resort to using a different FTP client. Although I tend to prefer FTP client software anyway, there are times when it would be convenient to use DW's features.

Preview does not show any postscript files

Preview does not show any .ps files in Mac OS 10.4.3. I get an error message "PostScript Conversion Error" when Preview tries to convert the ps file into pdf.
(I print online banking invoices to postscript using the print option "save as file", because the pdf option isn't always available as a file format.)
How can I view my ps files?
(this is a cross-post from the print/fax forum, as no one answered my question there)

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded Ghostscript, installed it but can't find it once installed and nothing has changed.
I did however find out that only my online banking PostScript files are unreadable. Other PS files I create with my Canon printer menu are automatically converted into PDF by Preview without a problem. So it must have something to do with the document header or whatever of the online banking files.

After upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

after upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

This started happening to me on my iPhone 4. Some text messages show only the numer they came from and those same numbers do not show the contact name in my calls list, even though the contacts are saved and synced via iCloud. I have tried to save different versions of the number in the same contact, but it won't work. If I call one of the recent numbers though, the conact comes up. I have tried reseting and restoring to no avail.

SMB share not showing all available files

Hi,
At work I have to connect to several SMB shares. Most are fine, however 1 of them does not show all the files that are on that share. I know I'm using the right domain, username and password. I've checked the console and can see this message repeated when I connect.

Many Thanks

excellent reply. Thanks for the details.
Oh, one more thing-
this 30-item limit is just in this same troublesome share.
Before the day gets away from you, ask the network admin to check permissions on this share. Perhaps the 30 files you see are the only ones that you have explicit rights to view.
they may need to ease up on restrictive permissions on this folder/drive.
(Images over a network can be funky, since Mac wants to display a little thumbnail of all those picture files...if you're viewing 'as icons', what happens if you change to 'by list'?...thinking out loud there.)

"Sony_Volume_Recorder_Volume DVD" not showing files

Hi all,
I had some video tapes transferred onto dvd by a local company. When I got them
home I tried to open the dvd on my Mac to transfer files onto my hard drive but I got the message
above "SonyVolume_RecorderVolume DVD" with small no entry symbol on the folder. I have done a bit of research so I know Sony is not compatible with Mac (- I wish I knew before I had them transferred!) but I don't know how to get these video files to show so that I can save them?
I must stress, these are my home videos; I own the rights to them. I just want to be able to
save them and maybe edit them iMovie.
Is there some special software I can buy to open these sony dvds? I read about
the Terminal thingy; but when I am wary about going into the "guts" of the computer?
I did try some "sudo" thing in Terminal I found on the internet, but it didn't work.
Can anyone help? Am really frustrated at not being able to save these precious memories properly.
Many thanks

Hi,
the format is Universal Disk Format (UDF)
It says under Sharing and Permissions that I have no access
and the files will not show up in the folder which has a no entry sign on it.
These are my own home movies; I just had them copied from video to dvd in the hopes of
saving them forever.
Thanks,

DVDs not showing up in Finder (CDs OK)

I have lots of data archived on DVD. Now DVDs suddenly will not show up on the desktop, data or otherwise. Odd, because I just burned a DVD last night.
Didn't there used to be a CD/DVD control panel in System Prefs? Seems to be gone in OS X 10.34.9

Indeed, because I definitely needed that file.
I ran the combo updater, but no CD/DVD preference pane. I'm not gonna worry about that since things ran fine without it (up till now). Don't want the bother of an Archive and Install, which still might not fix it.
My current suspect for all this is my CD/DVD drive. For several months I've had intermittent problems trying to eject discs and I've done every software fix I can think of and then some. Spent more time working "on" my computer than working with it. So I've ordered the Pioneer version of the Superdrive and we'll see if that fixes it.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Cary
HI Gary,
At least you could retrieve important files off the
one DVD! That's something.
I'm mystified why CD/DVD doesn't show up in your
System Prefs. Try the 10.4.9 combo updater but also
make sure you check to make sure you have any
Firmware updates also. If you do the combo update,
download that from the Apple site, not the Software
Updater:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_upd
ates/macosx1049comboupdateppc.html
If necessary, can you back everything up and do
either an Archive and Install or Erase and Install?

Burned DVD's show up as blank

Hello All,
I have a very strange problem that I've spent hours trying to figure out now, and haven't made any progress on. Yesterday, I used 'Burn' to burn several data dvd's on an iMac. Each burn completely successfully, and was confirmed good by checking in another iMac. You can also tell the dvd's are burnt by looking at the back of them. I believe they were burnt using the HFS+ filesystem.
Today, I tried using them on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.11. When I insert them, they show up as Blank DVD's and are mounted as such. Using the Disk Utility to examine the disk, I recieved this information:
===========
Name : HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080M
Type : Disk
Disk Identifier : disk1
Media Name : HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080M Media

Disk Number : 1
Partition Number : 0
==================
That looks right, except for the 'Optical Media Type' which should be DVD+R, though I may be misinterpreting what that is talking about.
Since the DVD's are showing up as blank, I tried burning something to them. They wouldn't burn.
I did get brief access to another iMac, and on that machine, one of the DVD's showed up perfectly. I'm at a loss as to what is happening here. Any ideas?
The drive will read other burned or pressed dvd's as well as cd's.
I'm nearly at my wits end here, because I really need this to work. I've been scouring google like a madman and haven't found any answers. It really gets me that the dvd's work in the iMac's, but not one this drive. This drive works well otherwise. This is one of the oddest computer problems I've encountered.

I'm having the same problem, I can read data cd's but not data DVD's. Data DVD's I've burned after 3 minutes just get ejected, copied installation DVDs just get recognised as Blank DVD's. I've also tried the same DVDs when I boot my Macbook up in windows only, they also get spat out. I have an external DVD drive and the DVD's work fine in that, both in the Mac OS and the windows OS. Which would leave me to believe theres an obvious issue with the;
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N:

The Drive reads retail DVD Films ok and thats it?.. any ideas??

Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander. I also have MovieSRTPlayer. Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB. The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles. It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder. I am also transferring a companion file to that folder. The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder. The Video app itself does show and play those video files.
I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
As stated the dam! files play in the video app. But they do not appear in the various filer apps. And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video. In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved). That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them. I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying. But now I'm running into this brick wall again. I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder. They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app. They are most certainly on my pb.
Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times.
Ideas?

I have what I call 3 file manager apps. File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version).
They all show or don't show the same thing. So files are missing. And SIZE is not the sole determining factor. When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files. So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder. But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers. The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up. The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up. A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up. But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up. Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago! Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles). Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up. Peculiar - yup!
Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it. Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB. So, the filemanagers are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct. But your app does not appear to show it.

Importing from DVD not showing full video

I'm trying to import a video (VOB file) from a DVD, but the full frame of the video is not showing. The frame size that is importing seems to be importing as a different frame size than the video is and I can't seem to change it. The import seems to be cropping it. If I adjust the size in the Program Sequence window, it is showing the cropped version of the video.
Can any of the other files on the DVD be imported such as the IFO file?

... What other formats can iMovie & iDVD use? What do you recommend? ...just dv. and for stills jpeg, tifff.. and for music aiff, mp3... but that was not your question any other video-codec gets converted/has to be converted...
... which are apparently very, very big - one half-hour folder was 6 GB...rule: 1h video = ~13Gb... that is the amount of data on tape... iM uses a digital copy of that. many other codecs do a much better compression, BUT lossy!
... many times bigger than it needs to be...no, a video-DVD is meant for playback only...the compression codec just stores the delta(=difference) from frame to frame... for edit purposes, you need the info of EVERY frame on tape...
... How should I adjust the settings if I want to get an hour's worth of video & audio on a standard 4.7 GB blank DVD-R?
...you don't do settings using iDVD. this app needs a dv stream to work in the highest possible quality. use the export to iDVD feature of iM.
in case, you spend a few k$, you can buy DVDSP, including a tool called Compressor... after learning a few years to handle it, you can result smaller files with higher quality.....

CS4 Thumbnails do not show metadata or file number

All of a sudden my Bridge Content panel does not show any info on thumbnail photos, neither file number nor any metadata preferences. Info is OK in the Metadata window, but not on Content pane
Also, the file folder thumbnail icons in Content panel now have the file numbers super-imposed over the file instead of below.
These must be related.
Coincidentally the font size of my Metadata panel suddenly got bigger and bolder, not the Keyword panel or any other, just Metadata. Doesn't really bother me, but seems odd these have all just happened
Using OS 10.5.8
Should I delete some sort of preference folder ? Where ?
Thanks

All of a sudden my Bridge Content panel does not show any info on thumbnail
photos, neither file number nor any metadata preferences. Info is OK in the
Metadata window, but not on Content pane
Also, the file folder thumbnail icons in Content panel now have the file
numbers super-imposed over the file instead of below.
That is caused by accidently hit cmd+T and that command does hide the
thumbnail info and put the name of the folder over the icon.
Hit cmd + T again to solve this or go the menu view and deselect the Show
thumbnail only command
Coincidentally the font size of my Metadata panel suddenly got bigger and
bolder, not the Keyword panel or any other, just Metadata. Doesn't really
bother me, but seems odd these have all just happened
That I have not seen before but might be solved with resetting the prefs as

Burned DVD not as expected

I created a short slideshow with iPhoto '05, added music and set the slideshow to fit the music. Exported to iDVD, added a photo and music to one of the 04 themes. The slideshow previews in both iPhoto and iDVD look fine, it's when I burn it onto a DVD that it doesn't look right. The photos in the slideshow are brighter and more saturated than the ones in iPhoto, there are what look like splotches on the parts where the vivid colors are. I tried burning another DVD with the Best Quality setting switched to the other setting and viewed it with two different DVD players, my PB G4 and MBP. It does seem a little better than the first burn but it's still nowhere near as good as the iPhoto and iDVD previews.
This didn't happen in the previous burn projects using the same settings.
What happened to my slideshow?
Any help is appreciated.
Happy Holidays to whomever reads this.

Hmmm. The preferences are confusing -- if your show is less than an hour, use Best Performance to yield the best looking result (least compression).
TVs can have difficulty showing the brightest reds, deep blacks, etc. Those colors tend to bleed into the surrounding area, and should be avoided for font colors. And it's possible that your computer display will generally look better than the TV when playing the DVD (note: an iPhoto slideshow will almost always look better on your computer -- no DVD compression and a high quality monitor).
Lower quality media can introduce problems -- check this by Saving as Disc Image from iDVD, and play the resulting virtual DVD using Apple's DVD PLayer.

DVDs not showing up correctly on desktop

I have a friend who is having this problem and I tried to help last night:
DVDs that are authored in DVD Studio Pro or iDVD will show up on the desktop as DVDs with the round DVD icon w/DVD logo on the icon. DVDs that are recorded on a set top Sony DVD recorder show up as a folder with a red minus sign on the bottom.
We both have the same kind of computers, same version system software, etc.
What we're trying to do with the DVD is open it up in MPEG Streamclip, so we can extract the M2V and AC3 files off and re-author with custom menus.
On my computer this morning, the recorded DVD showed up as a folder with a minus sign, but MPEG Streamclip was able to recognize that it was a disc in the first place, whereas the friend's computer - MPEG Streamclip did not recognize that there was a disc there.
The discs do actually mount on the computers and are playable in Apple's DVD Player in both cases. In MPEG Streamclip I have been going to "Open DVD" and on my computer the DVD shows up in that left pane with all the hard drives, networked drives, flash drives, etc., so I'm able to select it. But on the friend's computer, it does not show up in that left pane where it can be selected. So I can't get to the DVD's directory in the first place.
I tried everything I knew how, and researched a bit online as well, and I think I learned that the folder with the minus sign in general is related to permissions. I also saw online that this may be a Sony DVD recorder thing with their navigation structure.
However, we had a disc on the friend's computer that did work a few weeks ago in MPEG Streamclip, but doesn't now. So I think there must have been some setting that was changed. Roxio Toast may have been installed after this first DVD was readable, but I didn't see anything in Toast's preferences that would seem to affect this.
I'd like to try a disc that was recorded on my Panasonic DVD recorder on the friend's computer next time I get out that way.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Casey Petersen

Hmmm...that's interesting with the Sidebar preference...I'll have to check that on the other computer whenever I get out there next. I'll try disabling it on mine to see if it does the same thing.
Thanks!
Casey
