Can't get dvd mounted anymore

Hello,
I mount my dvd like this:
mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd
But now archlinux is bitchin' about the fact that the udf filesystem doesn't exists....
And when I do auto insteed of udf than it says mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660'
What did I do wrong?
THe only thing I did today was pacman -Syu
Long time ago I updated my system so it was 200mb of updates. And also kernel updates. Could that did something fuck up?

I can't get dvds to play "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017] Anybody know how to resolve this?

I can't get dvds to play and, instead, get "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]" I went in for a Genius appt Friday and it played for the tech...but now I'm back home (one and a half hours from the store) and I'm getting the error message again when I try to load a dvd. Any recommendations?

Hello, try this...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Reboot... any change?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Updated my UEFI - Now I can't get into gummiboot anymore

I have an UEFI Msi motherboard, which I've just updated. I run a dual boot system with windows7 and arch. After rebooting, I can't get into gummiboot anymore and the "Linux boot manager" entry in my UEFI is gone. The only thing left there is "Windows boot manager", which causes the system to directly boot to windows without giving me the possibility of changing to linux.
- Secure boot is disabled
- Fast boot is disabled
From what I know, upgrading the bios/uefi shouldn't even touch my bootloader at all, how could this happen? What do I have to do to get gummiboot back?
edit: When I chroot into the system and try to "gummiboot update", I get: "File system /boot is not a FAT EFI System Partition (ESP) file system."

On UEFI systems the "boot" information is stored in NVRAM, so upgrading the "BIOS" (not the right word) might affect that. On my machine, you can "edit" the NVRAM entries (the boot entries) somewhat from the "BIOS" (again, not the right word). Windows has a tool to edit UEFI entries (bcdedit or something) that you may be able to use to add your gummiboot entry back.
*Note: I am assuming by say "Updated my UEFI" that you meant you updated your -- what used to be called -- BIOS.
The word you're looking for is 'firmware'. UEFI firmware and BIOS firmware.
Sorry.... carry on...

Can't get around "mount failed" - "on error" won't do it - help appreciated

Hi
I'm using this syntax to mount a volume, and it works well if the volume can in fact be mounted:
try
mount volume "afp://username:[email protected]/MyDir"
on error
display dialog "blah blah"
end try
BUT, if the volume can't be mounted because the directory specified is incorrect, I a dialog saying "Mount Failed" opens with the only option being 'OK'. Under some other mount failure circumstances this dialog doesn't appear, and the script does eventually time out and disappear all by itself. But if this dialog appears, I have no option other than to manually press OK. It stays open forever. This dialog appears before the script passes the error to the display dialog part, so it prevents the "on error" part of the script from running. This is the only example I know of where 'on error' fails to let the scripter move on and manage the error.
What I would really like to do is to get the 'on error' functionality to actually work properly, because I can determine the PID of the process using Terminal and could then kill it using a shell script if , BUT none of this is possible because the script never gets to the 'on error' state because a real human must press the dialog's OK. I can't seem to use system events to send anything to it because the whole applescript just hangs at this point until the OK is checked.
Does anyone know a workaround? I've tried using a with timeout step around the whole thing but also won't work.
Thanks for any advice you could give me.
Chris.

I'm having the same trouble, but for different reasons. I was trying to determine a method for examining all the mounted volumes on my desktop and then detecting which mounted volume came from which network server. There doesn't seem to be any way to determine this via any filesystem metadata or anything. The only solution that I could think of was to build an afp url for each server/volume combination for any given mounted volume I wanted to test and then try mount volume on each url (thinking that the on error handler would trap the errors and then I could branch accordingly). Doesn't work. It's interesting that if you try mount volume afp://validerserver/badvolume, you get the mount failed error before your on error handler kicks in. If you try mount volume afp://badserver/validvolume, the on error handler fields the resulting -35 error. If you try mount volume afp://emptystring, you get a connection failed dialog before the on error handler again. Really annoying.
I filed a bug on this.

My imac is 10.5.8 how can I update software, because I can't get into itunes anymore

I am running 10.5.8
I am now booted out of iTunes because I need the latest iTunes version, but when i try to downlaod that, I am told my software version will not support my itunes version. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. How can I move up from 10.5.8?

Start by checking if you cn run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

Can't get DVD burner or Isight camera to work via FW

I can't get a DVD burner (FW) or an Isight camera to work. The DVD doesn't mont and the Isight camera just turns on then back off.......I did all the disc maintenance and reset the PRAM. At one time these devices did works. Sometimes the FW board shows up in the System Profiler and sometime it doesn't. Could it be a faulty FW board? Firmware?

A new PCI card and $39 fixed it. I got the firewire 400 since my DVD burner and iSight camera run on 400. The 800 would have been nice. And it was on sale as a discontinued item, $22 ($99). But there is a catch, 400 and 800 cables aren't the same. DAH!!! New cables would have cost around $68. Yes, I do have cable supplier here in town were I could have bought the same cables at pennies on the dollar. Another DAH!!! I didn't think of it till after I put the card in. All so my cable supplier is on the other side of town. I'm tried and lazy right now.
Here ends another happy story, and I thank you all.......

I can't get dvd's to play on my macbook pro

It comes up as a file, and i can view each chapter as a different file, but I can't get it to play.

Go to System Preferences, "CDs and DVDs" - what action is specified when you insert a video DVD? If it's "Nothing", change it to "DVD Player" or your application of choice.

Z68A-GD55 can't get into BIOS anymore

Just built new Z68 computer gradually over 3 days. Then loaded applications and everything worked great for 2 days. Decided it was done and time to change boot priority in BIOS. Couldn’t get into BIOS. Got splash screen but no further.
Found forum message recommending CMOS reset. Tried button, jumper, remove battery methods. Still can’t get into BIOS. Get BIOS Prompt ("...press DELETE"), but nothing after that except flashing cursor top left of screen. Back to barebones; same result. Screen messages before BIOS prompt: 98, 99, A3. Will not boot MS DOS (Win98 version) from USB drive (would before). I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thx.
Key build steps:
• Ran Memtest barebones 48 hrs.
• Added SSD (ACHI) and Installed Windows 7 Pro. SSD was new.
• Added, formatted HDD
• Enabled multi-monitor in BIOS; added Radeon HD6870; 2 monitors on Radeon, none on internal; installed Radeon drivers.
• Enabled Virtu in BIOS, d-mode; Installed Virtu
Not overclocked.

After replacing the PSU with a Corsair TX650M (650w, 3.3v30A, 5v30A, 12V54A), the barebones config could access the BIOS. Installed everything except boot SSD; still OK.
Before letting the computer boot back into Win7, I connected two old 19" LCD monitors (Microtek C997SD). For setup and testing, I had been using a 24" widescreen. But Win7 had never seen anything but the Microteks, which I intend to use with this computer. Tried to enter BIOS to verify settings were still correct for SSD. Got splash screen -- regular BIOS background, but no Icons (Green Power, Utilities, Overclocking, etc.). Computer locks: PS/2 keyboard (incl. Ctrl-Alt-Del) and USB mouse, do nothing.
Connected widescreen, verified BIOS OK. Shut down and reconnected Microteks, attempted boot into Win7, and all was OK. I just can't use a Microtek to access BIOS.
I hope MSI recognizes how valuable the volunteers here are. Your advice solved the problem at least a couple of days earlier than I would have done on my own. Thank you.

Can't erase DVD-RW anymore

My MBP is refusing to erase DVD-RW discs anymore. I'm running 10.5.2 and it last worked (on this specific disc) under 10.5.1.
I've tried erasing a couple of discs, using both Disk Utility (quick and complete) and Disco. It appears to work properly, but it never finishes and comes up with the "You've inserted a blank disc" anymore. And when I go to the finder and click back on the disc, the original files are still there. I've also tried it before and after a full reboot with no joy.
Any ideas?

Have you tried Toast? I use it regularly to transfer files to and from work. I rarely have problems erasing a DVD-RW. I have Toast 8. Go to the Recorder menu in the application, insert the disk you want to erase and then select Erase after the disk mounts. If you pick "Quick Erase" you must use Toast to burn the data for the next use.

Can't get Apple support anymore?

Does anyone know how to get support from Apple? I know I used to be able to submit questions to them, but now when I try it takes me to some "Express lane" for Itunes support and I can't even start the process because it asks for my serial number. Ummm... sice when does Itunes have a serial number?
Do they no longer offer support for Itunes or something?
Anyone know how to proceed?

Any suggestions? I know I used to be able to get "official" support from apple...

Can't get dvd to import into imovie? Any suggestions?

I have my sister's wedding that a friend took for me on his camcorder, and burned to a dvd for me. But when I put the dvd in I am unable to save or anything and when I go to imovie and try to import it the best I get is files unrecognizable, but I'm not even sure I'm picking the right files. . .video is in NTSC. Any suggestions? Thanks!

// why not making use of the Search feature of this forum //

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing... so, any conversion process will add a (dramatic) loss in picture quality.
for usage in iLife, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
VisualHub (23.32$)
Drop2DV (free, requires installation of ffmpeg parts, google for it...)
Toast 6/7/8/9 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
old apps:
Cinematize >60$
Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
