Cd player not playing discs

insert disc whirrs then spits disc out ?

Is this an internal or external CD/DVD player?
What year, screen size and CPU speed is this iMac?
Could try purchasing a commercially available, retail dry brush CD/DVD lens cleaning system disc.
These can sometimes revive a malfunctioning optical disc drive.

DVD Player not playing discs

My DVD player won't play rental dvd's etc .. I get a message saying "Supported Disk Not Available"
I have successfully played on 2 dvd's on this machine (it's only 2 weeks old) and each of those times i got a message asking my permission to change the region settings plus a warning that i would only be able to change the settings 5 times ... this third attempt at watching a movie (a big reason i bought the 2nd machine - to watch dvd's in my bedroom) it now gives me the 'not supported' message
HELP!!!!!

After some research I tried a suggestion from another forum to repair disk permissions - so far so good (at least the dvd i was trying to watch played no problem)
I did see numerous posts in my travels where people had experienced exactly the samr thing that I had - is there a bug Apple???

Pavilion Dv6 Blu-Ray/dvd player not reading disc's.

i need help, my pavilion dv6 do not play disc. wat i may do..

Hello man-el,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer cannot read CDs. To assist you properly, I do require the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new hardware, software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

In your opinion, should I uninstall Firefox if I am installing Waterfox?
Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox. I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox. (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers.

DVD player not playing DVDs

I can't seem to get my DVD player to play any of my movies. When I insert the dvd it doesn't show up on my desktop. The DVD Player doesn't start up until I start it(I have the option to 'open DVD Player) when I insert a DVD). I've tried several DVDs, all real dvd's, not burned or copied. I keep getting "Supported Disc Not Available". I haven't changed the region... I'm not even sure how to do that. I can still read and play music cd's. I've also tried using Front Row and I get "The DVd cannot be played... the format was not recognized".... well, They are the same DVDs I've watched befor so I'm wondering why... any thoughts befor I call up apple and get rejected since my warranty is shot.
Thanks....

You might try to reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and/or PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory). Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM?

DVDs not playing: disc drive problem or something else?

I see that many problems occurr in regards to HP laptops and playing discs. I have recently encountered this problem myself.
My discs will appear when I put them in the drive and ask to be played;
I open it with Windows Media Player
It glitches for a little while, usually shows a picture or two from the movie I'm trying to play
Sometimes brings me to the menu of the disc....
But continues to glitch and refuses to play the way it usually used to.
(I've also tried to play them in HP Medias\Smart, etc. but still no go)
In terms of CDs.. I used the disc drive to put music from CDs onto my itunes. The computer wouldn't actually play the music but the music did transfer successfully onto my ipod...
What I'm getting from this is that the drive is still reading the discs, in some small way, but it can't register them enough to play them properly on the computer.
I've tried many suggestions I've found through other forums of people with similar problems but nothing has worked so far. It's been a few monhts now and I'm pretty bummed that I still can't watch my DVDs when I'm laying in bed.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I do not see a mention of the model of computer or the version of Windows, so a general response would be to download VLC player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
If that will not play it (either music or video), then there is probably a hardware failure.
Return with model of computer and Windows OS version.

Flash audio player not playing in safari (it shows but does not play).

Basically i own an internet radio station and for some reason the web player (flash player) no longer plays in Safari since i upgraded to OS X Lion, was working before but not now, it does show the player it just does not play any audio, however it does work in Google Chrome.. any ideas why its no longer working since installing Lion??

The error is "Internet Explorer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then when I click on the Windows solutions icon, it says:
Adobe Flash Player has stopped working properly.
To troubleshoot this problem, follow these steps:
Click to go online and run the Flash Player uninstaller
In the File Download dialog box, click Run, and then follow the instructions to uninstall flash player. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click to go online and install the Flash Player update
I've done both these things for 2-3 days now. Nothing works.

Help with Flash Player- Not Playing

I recently went to a website where it said that i needed to
download the latest version of Flash Player. I followed the
directions and installed it, and the movie came up after
installation, but on the website it still said i needed to install
flash player again. I went through the other forum posts and tried
everything, but it still wouldn't show up. Then today i was on the
website and finally the video came up, but then when i refreshed
the page the video was gone and it again said i needed to install
the latest version of Flash Player. The video has shown up twice in
the past day, then says i need to reinstall again. I've tried
everything, but the videos just wont show up. Does anyone know how
to fix this for good?

JDB... your problems and solutions are different (and much
more complex). Read this CAREFULLY.
Printable, lovingly formatted versions of these steps, valid
as of 9/15/2007 are available. I recommend printing them and
following along with the print version:
.doc:
http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.doc
.pdf:
http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.pdf
The issue is this: You have multiple accounts on your XP
machine. One account plays Flash no problem, the other doesn't,
although both are Administrator accounts. Or possibly you have only
one account, and that account fails to play any Flash content. In
any case if you have ANY odd trouble with the Flash Player ActiveX
control for Windows as of September 2007, these should be your
steps. And yes, you need to do both sets of steps, in order!
The cause: This is usually caused by either or BOTH of the
following problems:
1. Leftover locked bits of an old Flash Player installation
2. Registry permission errors (aka 'ACL's)
OK so what do you do about this?
ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player bits
a. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
b. Download the latest FP uninstaller from
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157.
c. Run the uninstaller. If you get a notice saying you need
to reboot, then reboot.
d. Look at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
e. Does any file ending in .ocx remain? (flash.ocx,
flasha.ocs, flash9d.ocx etc...)
e1. If no, then you don't usually have any leftover locked
bits.
You're done with this part of the problem, proceed to TWO.
e2. If yes, then that remaining .ocx file may be locked.
Right click it
and select properties and look at the version tab.
What is the version number?
f. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.16.0 or earlier?
f1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
-- section "Flash Player 9.0.16.0 and earlier"
-- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
UninstFl.exe part.
Yes, you'll need to know how to use the command line to do
this. If you're not
comfortable with that then take your machine to someone who
is!
g. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.28.0 or higher?
g1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
-- section "Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later"
-- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
UninstFl.exe part.
In both the D and E sections above you'll need to use the
specific name of the control that remains
in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. So if you had a
stuck flash9b.ocx[DJM1] in the folder
and version was 9.0.28.0, your uninstall command would look
like this:
UninstFl.exe -u
c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
That said, if you have trouble running these commands it
really is necessary to find someone who knows how
to use the command line, either a friend or a local
professional. Or spend some time learning about the
command line yourself.
h. RERUN the uninstaller you downloaded earlier. This should
get rid of the remaining (now unlocked) .ocx file and fix any
registry keys associated with it.
ALL of section "ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player
bits" is important. BUT this locked bit problem only happens on
maybe one out of 50 machines. So most people with installation
problems such as this are not going to have locked bits.
AND even after reinstalling you may still have continued
problems with Flash Player not being recognized.
Then we have to move on to section two..
TWO: Registry Permission Problems
We have been working on Flash Player failures caused by
Windows System Registry issues. We have not been able to determine
what’s causing these permissions to change. But that change
prevents the successful installation of Flash Player ActiveX
control (used by IE Windows).
Registry permission problems can be resolved using a tool
called SubInACL, built by Microsoft to correct system registry
issues.
Symptoms: What to look for:
1. If you install Flash Player on IE and are unable to see
Flash content on any webpage
2. After installation C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
will have flash 9c.ocx in it but it failed to register
3. It appears that Flash Player installed correctly, but
unable to view Flash content
4. Flash Player works on other browsers, but NOT Internet
Explorer
5. If you are missing groups in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Advanced
Permissions
6. If you have run registry cleaners in the past, this may
have corrupted your system
Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding. Adobe
Systems cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from this
information.
1. Select Start > Run
2. Type in “regedit”
3. Right click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
4. Select Permissions
5. Select Advanced
For Vista
Compare your permissions with the ones in this screenshot.
http://www.supportflash.com/vista_key.png
For Window XP Pro or other flavors of XP
Compare your permissions with the ones in this document
“Troubleshooting system registry issues that prevent Flash
Player installation” (scroll down to the bottom of page).
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=kb400116
Notice any major differences, missing groups, incorrect
permissions?
How can you repair the System Registry, what's the fix
Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission issues
that prevent the Flash Player Installation.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb
NOTE: The Microsoft version of the .cmd script run by
SubInACL is not be run on any XP version other than Pro. HOWEVER,
the Adobe .cmd script in the above technote is tested safe for ALL
VERSIONS OF XP!!!
If you have a Windows System Registry permission issue that
sounds like the one described above, SubINACL may be the solution.
Please note that if you have this issue on multiple accounts on one
machine you’ll need to fix each machine individually.

Flash Player not playing videos but shows it is installed

My Flash Player is not working. On the test page, I have clouds moving. The Adobe check says I have successfully installed the program. When I go to most videos/news feeds, it says I need Flash Player to play this video.

Flash player not playing

I cant get this flash mp3 player to play in the page when i
make the play list variable a $_GET value. If the number is hard
coded it works.
$listsql = "SELECT tracks FROM photos_playlist WHERE id = '"
. $_GET['list'] . "';";//if this is a hard coded number like 4 the
player works
$listquery = mysql_query($listsql);
$listres = mysql_fetch_assoc($listquery);
$list_songs = explode(",", $listres['tracks']);
foreach ($list_songs as $songs_id) {
$play_listsql = "SELECT * FROM photos_music WHERE song_id =
'" . $songs_id . "';";
$play_listres = mysql_query($play_listsql);
$play_list_array = mysql_fetch_array($play_listres);
$playlist[] = $play_list_array['file_name'];
$title[] = $play_list_array['song_title'];
sort($playlist);// make an alphabetical ordered list (if you
don't want an ordered list, just comment this line)
// echoing the playlist to flash
$dir = "mp3/";
$the_player = "<player showDisplay=\"yes\"
showPlaylist=\"no\" autoStart=\"yes\">\n";
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($playlist); $i++) {
$the_player .= "<song path=\"$dir{$playlist[$i]}\"
title=\"$title[$i]\" />";
$the_player .= "</player>";
echo $the_player;
then in the body
<div align="center">
<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
document.write('<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"');
document.write('codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="301" height="212">');
document.write('<param name="movie"
value="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php" />');
document.write('<param name="quality" value="high"
/>');
document.write('<param name="wmode" value="transparent"
/>');
document.write('<embed
src="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php" quality="high"
wmode="transparent"');
document.write('pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"');
document.write('type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="301" height="212">');
document.write('</embed></object>');
</script>
The playlist shows up correct in the source code of the page,
but it won't play unless the $_GET['list'] is a hard coded number??
can anyone figure out why its not playing?

I solved the problem by making the $_GET variable a parameter
in the url that calls the flash player, i changed these two lines
from:
document.write('<param name="movie"
value="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php" />');
document.write('<embed
src="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php" quality="high"
wmode="transparent"');
to:
document.write('<param name="movie"
value="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php?list=<?php echo
$title_id['playlist_id']; ?>" />');
document.write('<embed
src="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php?list=<?php echo
$title_id['playlist_id']; ?>" quality="high"
wmode="transparent"');
Now i have playlist that are stored in the db and can be
edited and new ones made. Perfect

Arch Linux is an extremely minimalistic distro. The largest, fattest install possible by the installer compromises of a console, simple command line programs, and development libraries. Everything you want to do with it has a learning curve, and unless you're trying to avoid learning linux, you're going to have to teach yourself along the way. Also, please remind yourself that Arch's packages are usually built directly from sources with very little tweaked, or for that matter, packed with them. With Arch, you're pretty much getting the full-immersion experience with linux, and you're going to have to build your whole house with a hammer and nails. There are several things that won't necessarily work out-of-the-box either because of the countless ways applications can be configured. With Arch, you're going to have to understand this and hang in there until you can stand on your own feet, but you'll be greatly rewarded! Mostly everything you will learn with this distro is linux and nothing else, not Ubuntu, CentOS, or Mint-specific stuff, you're getting the real deal.
With that aside, most command-line programs report things to the terminal output, technically called the stdout. After trying Mplayer like a few of the guys said above, launch a terminal, type "vlc" in it and hit enter, and watch the stdout as you load the VCD and try to play it. More than likely an error will pop up. Let us know what happens.

Flash player not playing internet video content

HP Pavillion 60-1120 Touchsmart
My flash player is not playing internet video?? Any ideas.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if the videos play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart IE.
