Burned DVD won't work after DVD player 4.6.1

I made a DVD of my daughter's wedding two days ago and it played fine on my iMac G5. Yesterday I updated the DVD player with the DVD 4.6.1 update and now I can't get my DVD to show up on the desktop or play in the DVD player. Any thoughts?

I also trashed the iDVD plist to see if that will speed up my DVD burning.
Ain't gonna' happen. You should create a disk image and then burn DVDs.
File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Disk Utility to burn the DVD.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Encore burned DVD won't work in DVD Player

I just created, built and burned a DVD in the latest version of Encore on my i7 MacBook Pro. After the disc is burned, it works perfectly in both a PC and a mac computer. Unfortunately it doesn't work in my Vizio DVD/Blue-Ray Player. I have double checked to make sure normal DVDs play normally, which they do.
The contents of the DVD take up about 4.65 GBs of space and include a few PDFs as DVD-ROM.
I literally followed every instruction to the letter and am just not sure why it's not working in the DVD Player. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The DVD burner is the stock burner on the 2012 MacBook Pro 13inch (not retna display) I think it's a: Matshita DVD-R UJ-8A8(Firmware HB14)
The DVD was just a Maxwell DVD-R, 4.7GB, 16x.
I will try burning without the DVD-ROM contents and let you know.
Thanks again for helping me with this.

Dvd studio pro: DVDs won't work on DVD player and windows computer

Hi
I have burnt some dvds on DVD Studio Pro I checked they were set to SD and PAL and have played them on my MAC and DVD player no problem but now I am hearing back from my client that they tried playing them on their windows computer and laptop and their DVD player and it isn't working what could be the reason for this?
From Mike

You can see if they have another software player available. Usually VLC is a good option. Windows player can be a bit all over the place depending on patches of the OS and other items. I have encountered some strange things, including people claiming that DVDs I have authored were doing things that had nothing to do with the DVD (beyond the scope of what a DVD can do, etc.)
When you say DVD Player, does this mean they are also trying to play it in a DVD Player (real player and not in computer?) How did you burn the DVD? Straight from DVD SP? Check first play settings and other items?
These are some of the first things I would be starting with, particularly if real DVD players (not in computers) are concerned. It also can be something as small as dirt or scratches on the DVD itself. Some machines can be better at compensating than others are.

Blinking Buttons DVD won't work in DVD player

I have been trying to burn a DVD multiple times. I have made hundreds of DVD's with DVD studio pro, and have never seen this problem before. When The DVD is done, when I put it in a DVD player, the button on the menu is blinking like crazy and it is impossible to select or activate it. I've tried remaking the project file and every dvd I make has this same issue. What is going on? Please help.

I saw this on my first DVDSP project many years ago, and it is indeed a combination of the duration, loop point, and timeout/end jump. I believe it was a duration of 0 on a motion menu, with the menu set to loop. Just double-check the menu properties in the inspector.

DVDs won't mount after Security Update 2006-004

DVDs won't mount after installing Security Update 2006-004 via the Software Updater in OS 10.3.9. CDs work OK.
I've repaired permissions, reset PRAM, tried booting in OS 9.2.2 but can't get the DVDs to mount/play or be seen by disk utility.
Please help.

Thanks

How recently before installing the Security Update did you use the DVD drive (for DVDs)? If it was not immediately before the update, the two are probably not related. Also, if you restarted in Mac OS 9 and the DVD drive still does not work, it would seem to indicate the problem is hardware, not software.
You can try opening up the iMac and checking the connections to the DVD drive. Also, it is possible that your PRAM battery is dying (unless you have replaced it recently); that can cause unexpected problems.

HT203164 My newly installed burner works fine from i-tunes, except the burned disk won't work in my car CD player. The old burner's disks work just fine in the car. Please help.

Using my new G5 I have the same problem, which I did not know using my old G4 with an external LaCie burner. The CD-Changer in my car is not able to read audio-cds, also my cd-player in my home hifi-system. The only way to play these audio-cds is (strange...) to put them directly in the main tuner of my car (usually used for the navigation cd), not using the Changer.
Maybe the problem really depends on the quality of the CD-Rs. I have used CD-Rs from Sony (it´s a brand, I think?) and will try Verbatim.

IMac 2008 OS10.9.1 external dvd won't play movie DVD's

iMac 2008 OS10.9.1 external dvd won't play movie DVD's. Other DVD/CD's are recognized.
My internal DVD/CD p-layer/burner stopped working 3 years ago like many other iMacs did.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is all red because I am ******!

I have discovered, no thanks to Samsung techs, what the problem is, and it might be revealing for others, as well. It seems that DVD Player, which is the app Apple provides in OS x for (naturally) playing videos, doesn't work with external drives if the computer has an internal drive – even when, as in my case, the internal drive is dead.
I have learned, however, of the existence of a couple of alternative, free applications that run video and audio disks with external optical drives, and one of them, at least (VLC), seems to be widely acclaimed. Does anyone know whether bypassing DVD Player could be a bad idea? There were some gripes from one or two reviewers about awkwardness with playing audio DVDs with iTunes, but I'm not sure what they meant when they said that you have to click on individual items in a selection. Would that mean, for example, having to click on each movement of a Mozart trio? That I couldn't play an entire album's contents of another kind of music without clicking on each song?
Getting the internal optical drive replaced would be prohibitive, even if the parts could be obtained, so I guess I'm stuck trying to deal with the external drive I have and finding the best replacement for DVD Player that I can find. The interesting thing is that the drive works beautifully with a MacBook Air I tried it with, so I guess that is because the Air doesn't have an internal drive?
Wouldn't you think that Samsung techs would know all this? The one I spoke to told me to make sure that my system preference for CDs and DVDs was set to open automatically with DVD Player and sent me all kinds of FAQs, plus a way to get an RMA number for a return. Not a word about difficulties with Macs having an existing internal drive. And all after spending a very long time talking with me about what was going on, what the error message was, and so on. I guess the message hasn't gotten to them.
I hope this information will be helpful to someone.

Burned CD won't play in car player

I know similar questions to this have been asked, but I have not found a solution that works for me yet. I am burning a CD-R with iTunes, but it will not play in my car player. I have tried burning at different speeds. I have tried 3 different media types (Verbatim, Memorex, generic). None of them worked. I checked my iTunes settings to make sure I am burning an audio CD, and not an MP3 or data CD. I've probably burned 15 CDs to no avail.
I am burning them on a Sony drive. The CDs play fine in my computer. Just not in my car.
My car player is an older player (1996 factory Delco), but it has no problems playing normal CDs. I get an "E20" error message if that makes any difference.
Is it just a matter of trying more media types? Anybody have a media type that they got to work in an older Delco CD player? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I solved my problem. I can't guarantee this will work for anybody else having this same issue, but it worked for me. Since my player is 10 years old, I thought maybe the problem was the newer size of CD-Rs. So I bought some of the older, smaller size CD-Rs (650 MB versus the newer 700 MB). Now I can't be sure that was the total reason it worked, but it now works with these new CD-Rs. They are also Verbatim brand, which I also tried unsuccesfully with the 700 MB size. These Verbatims are not only 650 MB, but also a light blue tint on the bottom, which may also have made a difference. I don't know. I couldn't find any of these older, smaller CD-Rs at any local store. I found them on Amazon and ordered them there. These are the ones I ordered if you are interested.

Again, I can't guarantee these will work for you. There are probably many reasons why iTunes burned CDs won't work in some players.

External keypad won't work after installing OS 7.

External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

Mission Control won't work after sleeping. Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by track pad or keyboard.

Since updating, Mission Control won't work after sleeping. Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by trackpad or keyboard. I'm sure I use Mission Control more than most, so it's really irritating for me.

No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

Apache won't work after 10.5.2 update

Apache won't work, after I installed the 10.5.2 update.
When I type the following in the terminal: sudo apachectl -t
I get a error:
/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 81: 711 Segmentation fault $HTTPD $ARGV
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
thank you!

I too had the same problem after the auto update 10.5.2 - specifically the 2008-002 update broke my machine in a number of areas.
I downloaded the package and ran it, this seems to have mopped up the problems caused my the first run.
The update is located at:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/
Look for 2008-002 (Leopard) it's about 50MB.
Hope this works for you too.

ICloud email won't work after upgrade

iCloud email won't work after upgrade to Mountain Lion. Says pop 3 server is timing out. Solutions?

I'm sorry, as I keep saying... in MAIL I get the message that it cannot cannot to server!? Did you read the initial problem at all! I know exactly where mail is, although, the diagram was wonderful.
My problem is TWO FOLD.
The MAIL app doesn't work with iCloud but does work with my POP3 email for my office.
Second problem is the iCloud on Safari doesn't work as I get the error message as the screenshot above.
There is NO reason why the @me.com email shouldn't work through the iCloud site, as you can see, there is a also a Mail icon.

HT204350 scanner won't work after upgrade

scanner won't work after upgrade

Hey srohall,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your scanner after updating to OS X Mavericks. To troubleshoot this issue, we’ll want to follow the same troubleshooting steps for printers:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.
