Can't mount Solaris 10 DVD

I've been having trouble mounting the Solaris 10 10/08 Operating System SPARC DVD after installation so that I can add packages from the DVD. Rather than burn my own DVDs, I bought the media kit. Booting from that DVD in order to install Solaris 10 on this Sun Blade 150 workstation was successful, but it should now automatically mount when I insert it. This is using the internal DVD ROM drive that came with the workstation.
I can mount the other DVDs in the kit.
I can mount the problem DVD on Windows Vista, but that environment messes with the file names while creating a ZIP file so that by the time the package gets to the workstation where it's needed, it's useless.
Next, I bought an external DVD ROM drive and got the same results on my workstation.
I then moved the external DVD ROM drive to my Sun Fire V210 server and got the same results.
Finally, I asked the fine folks at Sun to send me a replacement DVD. They sent the whole kit. The results are exactly the same on the workstation with the internal DVD ROM drive. I can't mount the SPARC DVD, but I can mount the x86 DVD for example.
I previously attempted to burn the DVDs using the only drive I own that is supposed to have that capability, an internal drive on the Windows Vista PC. That failed.
This should work using the media kit that I bought. What's the solution?

Can't mount Memorex DVD

Hello all,
I have a Power PC Dual 1 GHZ running 10.4.11. I recently needed to retrieve some files from my archives. To my surprise the DVD's I used would not mount, my Mac just spit them back out. So, I tried another disk, same thing. These were all Memorex DVD's that I burned with the original drive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104) that I'm still using. I tried another disk from my archive from a different manufacturer and it did mount, actually every disk that wasn't a Memorex did mount. Is there a problem with Memorex DVD's? Is there any way I could retrieve the info off these disks? And last, which in your opinion is the more reliable and stable backup solution, CD's or DVD's.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ron

Ouch, spindle, a guaranteed way to contaminate the discs before you've even used them. If you've left them out in the sun for any length of time, your chances may be less than nil.
All I can suggest is that you give the discs a good clean with warm soapy water and hand dry them properly before use. It may help you get some files back. Be careful with the label side of the disc, the back of this contains your data.
I've used Memorex for CD-R (because they were cheap) but I bought them as individually sealed jewelcases, and I store them (before and after burning) vertically in the jewelcases in the dark. I only use them for copies of discs, usually games that require the original CD to be installed. When it goes bad, I trash it and burn another.
Depending on how important your data is, you could try buying a new drive for the MDD, something dual layer DVD perhaps.

PI 7.1 EHP1 - Installing SP03 - Can't mount Kernel DVD

Hi Experts,
I'm presently intalling the latest packs on a PI7.1 EHP1 box.
I've dowloaded all the files in a folder and started the upgrade with the Upgrade master.
Entered the the up keyword, download directory path, did the DDIC and OS password. It seems to be extracting the kernel etc.
Now I'm up to the point where there asking me to point to the where the Kernel DVD is mounted.
I'm at a lost here... I have a couple files identified has Kernel files which I extrated and there was no MID.XML fiel.
I've also tried to point to the Export Upgrade DVD with not luck.
What I'm I missing?
Thanks and regards.

Can't mount commercial dvds

Problem: I cannot mount any commercial dvd, but I was able to a couple of weeks ago, strange thing is that a home made copy of the same dvds just mounts fine, same with any data dvd/cd, also if I reboot the machine it will mount it but after a eject/load it will not. the odd part is that all of a sudden all of my linux systems in this machine behave the same except for the ms-os.
Info:
-old lg h44l dvd/cd burner in IDE port
-currently on arch 64 and KDE up to-date
-other OS in the machine:
-Ubuntu 11.10
-Kubuntu 11.10
-Arch in XBMC mode
-w7
Is this a hardware problem? could it be that the drive is been lock in some way? again w7 has no problem it seams mounting/playing, any info or pinpoint is much appreciated. thanks in advance.

You will need that to decrypt commercial DVD's if you don't or it was uninstalled since the last time you tried.
Edit: perhaps I read your question wrong but still checking for this library is something your should do: "pacman -Q libdvdcss" and see if it returns a result. If it returns "not found" then you don't have it installed.
Thank you for the response, yep that was one of my first suspected packages but is not the issue, I have the latest installed, "libdvdcss 1.2.11-1" I wonder if has any thing to do with mtab/fstab or the like, I wonder if my last update mess up things, I see consolekit and polkit-kde in the pacman.log...

Can't mount movie DVDs after Security Update 2006-002

I installed Security Update 2006-002 today after all the preparation recommended by MacFixit. Everything came up fine, EXCEPT:
Movie DVDs (e.g., as rented from Blockbuster) no longer mount.
Yesterday, there was no problem.
Dual G5 2.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The following link describes MacFixit's recommendation for installation of 10.4.6, but it is basically the same recommendation as they have given for quite a while for any significant system update, including security updates:
http://www.macfixit.com/index.php?date=2006-04-03
Scroll down until you see "Update process recommendation".
In my case, I had followed the "more cautious route" of this procedure but still had a problem, and then the problem went away when I did a (presumably extra) pre-binding.
For system-wide updates (that is, 10.4.x -> 10.4.(x+1)) I've always used combo updaters rather than the supposedly specific-and-therefore-smaller updaters when updating the system. For the security update in question here, I downloaded the updater from the Apple site rather than use Software Update.
Hope this helps.

Mounting a dvd on Solaris 10

I am a linux user, not a Solaris user and I am running solaris 10 on a Blade 100. I want to mount a dvd but am unsure of how to mount it because of the difference between Solaris and Linux command lines. "mount cdrom" does not work. I am sure this is an easy answer to this question but I can't seem to get this DVD mounted.
Thanks,
Michael

Unless you've changed the system's configuration, mounting
CD/DVD media is supposed to happen automatically, with the
help of the "vold" daemon.
The CD/DVD will be mounted somewhere in /cdrom/xxxx with a
symbolic link /cdrom/cdrom0 pointing to the root directory of the
media.
If you've disabled "vold", of if you didn't install it, manual mounting
works like this:
1. iostat -En
This command can be used to print a list of SCSI/ATAPI/USB/
Firewire disk/cdrom/dvdrom devices. Note the disk id in front
of the entry, for example "c1t1d0":
% iostat -En
c1t1d0 Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: HL-DT-ST Product: DVDRAM GMA-4020B Revision: A105 Serial No:
Size: 0.00GB <0 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 1 Predictive Failure Analysis: 02. Manually mount the device, using the device id from the above
iostat command, with slice "s2" appended (on Solaris x86:
append "p0").
# mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s2 /mnt

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

IMP.: Solaris 8 can't mount Cdrom automatically

i have Sun V880 server. before when i put any cd in the CDROM, system can automatically mount the CD-ROM. but from today suddenly, system can't mount CD-ROM. System is solaris 8 . so what the problem and how to resolve it?

Are the device links there: /dev/rdsk/c0d0*, /dev/dsk/c0d0*
(should be symbolic links pointing to something like
../../devices/... ?
Are the real device nodes there under /devices? Something like
/devices/pci@0,0/pci-ide@4,1/ide@0/cmdk* (your exact device names
my be different)
If you run "format", does it list your harddisc in the initial
disc menu? (Press CTRL-D to leave format without selecting a disc)
If the /devices device nodes and the /dev symlinks are present,
what error do you get when you open a harddisc device, using
"dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 of=/dev/null count=1"
If the device nodes / dev links are missing, you may be able to
restore them by:
<pre>
mount -o remount,rw /          (mount the root filesystem "read/write")
drvconfig               (probe for hardware, build /devices tree)
disks                    (install symbolic links under /dev)
</pre>

Can't mount DVD

I have a semi-professional DVD that won't mount on my MBP running 10.7.3 nor on one running 10.6.8.
It did mount on a Macbook running 10.5.8 and launched iDVD and played the movie.
On a fourth MacBook running 10.5.8 it mounted but wouldn't play until we dragged the movie out of the folder on the DVD to the desktop and then over VLC.
Do 10.6.8 and 10.7.3 have restriction to playing DVDs that would mount on earlier systems?
We get a disk error on a home DVD player.
Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks

I can now mount the disk, opening DVD player and selecting "After inserting Disc" "play".
I copied it to my desktop and the only software I can play it with is VLC from the file on my desktop.
I tried making a copy with Toast 8 using VIDEO_TS and iDVX. The video copies fine but I can get no audio from it.
DVD player says the format is not compatible as does Quicktime.
Any ideas?

Can't mount home burned dvd-rw

At one point things were fine. I could mount my dvd-rw with .avi files on them. I had burned them myself and could watch them with Quicktime & flip4mac. Now the dvd's won't mount. The Mac says they are blank dvd's. What is up with that? I am trying this on the PowerBook G4.

David Pogue wrote about this, he's had trouble with DVDs being that age (4 years & under) not reading anymore! try a different computer - newer mac or PC, if one is available to you.

Can't boot Solaris-10 on NetraX1

I set OBP diags-switch? true with diag-level set to max but no problems are reported.
Sun says the NetraX1 supports Solaris-10 but are there any caveats. It seems strange that the latest version of OBP dates to 2002. Am I trying to 'push a string' by upgrading this machine or am I doing something stupid? Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Note that the Solaris-10-u8 imaged is one I downloaded from Sun and made my own DVD but the 10/08 distribution is genuine Sun media, they both fail with the same messages.

I've tried a few other things like creating the user account in lom and most significantly tried hooking up a DVD reader in place of the second disk. The OBP must not have the driver for reading CD/DVD's as it simply wouldn't recognize the drive although I can if I boot the system from the disk under Solaris-8 and mount the CD/DVD drive.
Is there any possibility that the obp on the machine just can't handle Solaris-10?
I tried booting over the net with a mounted DVD on the host machine and using the -v switch and got the following. Can anyone interpret what's happening here? I've edited out the redundant stuff. The DVD I'm trying to boot from is a genuine Sun made DVD and not a downloaded image.

CDROM Mount Solaris 10 x86

BACKGROUND:
In support of the U.S Navy, I've developed an IETM in XML and distributed it as PDF documents (in the Windows XP environment) meeting the current Military standards. My new tasking; However, is to ensure that this project can run on both the Solaris x86 platform and the Solaris SPARC platform. This IETM CDROM is classified and the contents may not be downloaded to any storage device. The IETM must run from the CDROM drive.
PROBLEM:
The 1st time I install the CDROM into Solaris x86, the CDE interface named the CDROM the following: CDROM/CDROM0/IETM, (IETM is the CD's label I named it). This causes all my external links between the 19 documents that comprise this IETM become invalid (not to work). This is only true when the link needs to travel up to a higher directory. If the link requires a location to a lower sub-directory, the links work as designed. I believe this is due to the fact that the links do not need to read the CDROM label when moving down directories.
So, I go off to the development box and try and reconfigure my links to accomodate Solaris' mount naming conventions. I link to the following: CDROM/CDROM0/IETM.
This time when I insert the CD into the CDROM drive, CDE interface names the CD, CDROM/CDROM0/IETM#2. ?!?!?!?!
I'm relatively new to Solaris, but well versed in computer programming and computer architectural design , but I'm totally confused with this 2 week old problem.
Does anyone have the time to respond to my dilema? Am I overlooking a very basic solution or is this new tasking of mine going to send me back through the development process to accomodate Solaris?
Thanks to you, in advance,

The missing pieces can be found in the UFS partition on the CD#1,
but Solaris can only mount UFS partitions on CPUs using the same
byte order that was used to create the filesystem. That is, Solaris
SPARC can mount big-endian UFS filesystems intended for SPARC;
Solaris x86 can mount little-endian UFS filesystem intended for x86.
But you cannot mount a big-endian SPARC UFS filessystem on
Solaris x86 - and vice versa.
The solution is to download the Solaris 10 DVD installation image,
and setup the install server from the DVD. The DVD installation
image contains everything that is needed in the platform neutral
ISO9660 filesystem image. There's no need for
setup_install_server to access the UFS filesystem bits using the
DVD.

How can I mount a CD Drive in Single User?

Thank you for reading my question.
I need to run single user mode on my iMac because of a disk problem. I would like to be able to mount the cd drive while I am in single user mode. I would also like to be able to mount usb hard drives with confidence, so that I can copy off files from the internal hard drive.
I am in single user mode, which I get to by holding down Command-S on startup. I can look at the disks that are attached to my computer by executing
ls -l /dev/disk*
However this appears to be adding disks. I started with /dev/disk2 and /dev/disk2s1 etc which I understand are partitions on that external drive. Now when I list /dev/disk* I have /dev/disk3 and a couple of partitions on those devs. Is that normal? Have I not unmounted disks properly?
I have been using a directory that already exists as the mount point for my usb drives using
mount -t hfs /dev/disk1 /cores
which worked fine. Alas the disk I mounted on that directory was too small. Now I can't mount a disk on there. Do I need to unmount or fix up that assignment?
If I were to create a directory in /Volumes is that advisable? How do I make the root directory readable is that by using 'mount -uw'?
Thank you. Please if you answer my question, try to be clear on what commands to use and why. Bear in mind that other people will read this, and no one on the web seems able to write suggestions very clearly. Maybe we can be the first! If I have not been clear, please feel free to ask for clarification. i am not a total unix newbie. Rather in the 20 years since I was a sysadmin, my memory has faded.
Pete

I think you need to post this in a different forum. I think the Developer Forums would be the right choice.
In any event from the little Unix I know you can't mount a removable device until it's connected which means you need to put a CD/DVD into the optical drive. At that point if you enter 'df' you should see the device if it is mounted automatically (which I believe it does.)
In single-user mode the entire drive is readable and all files accessible. You are the 'root' user. In order to put the system into write mode you must enter 'mount -uw /'. Note the '/' at the end of the comnmand line. That makes the entire system writeable.
You do not need to create a directory in /Volumes. When the CD/DVD is recognized an entry in /Volumes will appear unless the disc is unformatted.
Now take some of the above with a grain of salt. I'm certainly no Unix expert.

My macbook pro can't read a dvd-r double layer

Hi everyone!
I have a Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15 inches (mid-2009, model identifier MacBookPro5,3) with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. I can't read a commercial DVD DL-R (as indicated on the DVD). The DVD player doesn't mount the DVD and reject it after about a minute. All my other DVDs play fine on my computer and the problematic DVD plays on the more recent (about a year old) MacBook Pro of my wife. When looking at the properties of the DVD player via System Information, it says it should be able to play the DVD.
Any idea what the problem/solution could be? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi m,
SuperDrives are notoriously picky eaters. It may just be that brand or even that one disc won't play in that particular drive, or, it may be the drive needs cleaning.
You could purchase a CD/DVD drive cleaning kit, or you can try with materials you may already have on hand. Use a credit card, or something similar, and wrap it with an LCD cleaning cloth type product (basically a thin micro-fiber type cloth). Gently slide the "cleaner" in and out a few times in the left side of the optical drive opening. Make sure you can hold onto the cloth so it doesn't get stuck inside the drive. This cleans the lens, which may be all you need.

How can I burn a dvd without themes?

how can I burn a dvd without themes?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!
