    Have you tried resetting your SIM card?  Turn off the phone, remove the SIM card (be careful not to touch the gold contacts), wait a few minutes, then reinsert the SIM card, turn on the phone, and allow it a few minutes to establish a fresh network connection.  If that doesn't work, you might try a new SIM card, they're free at your local Corporate Verizon store.

  • QT file burnt onto DVD doesn't show when DVD reinserted into drive

    This has happened several times now, and is beginning to affect my work.
    Here's what happens: I create a self-contained QT file from FCP (7.0.2, fwiw). I insert a blank single-sided (ie 4.7GB) DVD into my internal DVD drive, drag the QT file into it and click 'burn'. The burning process proceeds exactly as I would expect and, at the end, I can click on the DVD icon and see my QT file on the disc. I can open the QT file and play it.
    In fact, things don't go wrong until I eject the disc. When I've done that and I re-insert it into the same drive, suddenly the disc is blank! This happens even if I reboot the Mac Pro in the meantime. However, if I insert the drive into my partner's iMac, the QT file is there and can be opened. If I reboot my Mac Pro in Windows, the disc still shows up as blank - as it does on other people's PCs (haven't checked any other Macs yet).
    What can be causing this? The drive works fine in all other respects (eg playing movies, installing software, etc.). This problem started happening a few months ago, but in all other respects the drive is working fine. (Oh, I can successfully make a movie DVD from DVD Studio Pro, btw - it's just burning QT files that causes the problem.)
    Thanks in advance for your help, everyone.

    Well, I seem to have flummoxed you all. Problem still recurring, by the way.
    (Incidentally, when I said in my post "suddenly the disc is blank", I hope it was clear that the disc isn't actually blank - just for some reason my Mac thinks it is.)

  • Preview icon not showing when in thumbnail. (Sketchu

    Hello,
    I recently updated my MBP to Yosemite and installed sketchup on it.
    The preview icon of my sketchup files are not showing when in thumbnail. But as i increase the size of the icon from thumbnail in viewoption i.e from 64px x 64px to 124px x 124px it shows. So my icon is shown as blank without any app logo. Also when i change my view from thumbnail to coverflow or something it shows. Otherthan thumbnail everything works.
    So where is the error in it?
    Please help...
    Thanks
    Amar

  • Forcing DvD menu to show when DvD is loaded

    Hi Studio Proers,
    After creating a killer menu, I was disappointed to see it skipped over and the first track start to play when I load the DvD into a DvD player/recorder.
    How can I 'tell' Studio Pro to force the menu to show when the DvDs are loaded (I'm going to burn 50 of them).
    Thanks muchly,

    Hi Nickalf,
    I heard in these forums that other users of SONY DVD recorders have similar issues with first play items. Is yours that brand?
    I suggest you try your disk in another player; most probably it will work fine.
    Some players have it's own ... "personality".

  • Some folders are not showing when I insert external thumb drive

    When I insert a thumb drive into usb slot, I do not see all the folders which contain Jpeg files. How do I overcome the problem ?

    Sorry if I didnt ask the question properly because my Eng is bad
    But I am not intended to write on those drives, I have no third party software installed
    I just want to read those files, I copy those files through Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition
    However, I can't read those specific files on my NTFS drive in MAC OS, but I know its there because when I plug into another PC, they are showing up fine

  • Airplay Icon not Showing when connected to my car's bluetooth stereo

    I have an UVO system in my Kia. It has been working great with the Iphone Airplay since October. I recently updated my phone and now, just like many others, no airplay showing up on my music apps.
    I basically use Spotify and Pandora all the time with zero issues. Now when my phone is connected to my car through bluetooth, my phone works perfectly and can talk through the speakers for calls but the music apps do not display the icon to switch between dock connector or bluetooth audio. This has led me to believe it's not a problem with my UVO system in my car but rather an apple related issue. Why would they dissapear? I have tried shutting off, rebooting, and all that jazz on both my Iphone 4 and Ipad2. Also, even when connected through the USB port, the UVO still doesnt recognize the audio.
    Any advice would be awesome!

    I DON'T text and drive. I just want be able to hear, for example, alerts that I have put on my calendar. I can/do pull over to look at texts--but not when I don't know that I have a message. This was never an issue until a couple of weeks ago.

  • CD/DVD disc player not auto reading when disc inserted

    CD-DVD drive not working properly . Will not auto read when a disc is inserted to play music even tho Windows Media Player is designated as the auto player. Have checked the DVD-CD disc drive in device manager and it says it is working properly and there are no updates at this time available!

    Hi, To protect your machine from nasty viruses, Windows may disable auto run on your machine. I would not turn it on but if you wish, please try:    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-vista/set-up-windows-to-automatically-play-cds-and-dvds Regards.

  • BD335i doesn't pick up when disc inserted first time and shows tracks on itunes when no disc

    I have a BD335i (SATA) Blueray player / writer installed in my own build high spec machine, running Windows 7 Pro, with latest updates. Ever since I built it the BD player won't recognise a disc when it is first inserted and it takes a couple of tries before it does. I have deleted the driver from device manager and allowed Windows to find the correct driver, but it always has the same problem.
    Also in iTunes it shows a number of tracks present, but "unavailable" when there is no disc in.

    Hello Warrior,
    So basically, the drive is randomely recognizing any disk when it wants to. You have to reinsert the disk several times to get it to react, no matter what type of disk it is.
    Could be the lens is dirty, but not so likely on a new drive. IF its newly purchased, I would take it back to the store for an exchange. Those symtoms are of a physically malfunctioning drive, not driver related.
    I do not see a firmware update to download from HP either.

  • Toshiba 32LV67 tv dvd combo wont turn on/Disc light blinks repeatedly

    I have the 32LV67 dvd combo and the disc light just keeps blinking when i plug it in. i read somewhere that you can re-install the firmware but i cant find it anywhere. Please help me!

    There is no firmware downloads for that model.
    Try leaving it unplugged from power overnight. If the problem persists, it may require servicing.

  • Desktop icons wont open when clicked on

    Hi to all Happy New Year just installed Leopard on both of my computers- on Macbook -desktop icons open when clicked on but not on my Imac computer- tried restarting numerous time any suggestions. Any thoughts. Kevin

    I have a friend that has the same problem. Seems related to plugging in an external monitor. When she unplugs, her Desktop icons are unresponsive and can't be clicked on. In the Terminal I issue:
    killall Finder
    and that temporarily fixes the problem. Wondering if there is a permanent fix. Perhaps I'll delete the Finder .plist.
