Copying DVDs No Longer Working

Hello all!
I did some video productions last year, edited them with iMovie and burned the master DVDs with iDVD. They work great in DVD players and when I insert them into one of my Macs, DVD player automatically opens, goes to full screen and begins the program as it should.
A couple of months ago I made copies, simply by copying the two folders from the master DVD onto the hard drive, inserting a blank DVD, copying the two folders from the master onto the blank DVD and burning the DVD copy, as you would a data DVD. It worked great, both in DVD players and when inserting into my Macs, just like the masters.
Now, however, when I do the same precedure, the copies are not working in my Macs. They still play on consumer DVD players, but when I load them into my Macs, DVD player opens but does not go to full screen, and the small DVD Player screen which remains black says "Supported Disc Not Available" when I hit the Play button.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
jt burke

i would not drag the two folders. I'd make an image of the DVD or use Toast to copy the DVD.

My ImageClass MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. How can I resolve this?

My Image Class MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. I have checked with Cannon and they do not list my partricular machine among their driver updates. Is there another place to download a driver suitable for Mavericks?

Your MF4380dn is supported by the latest UFR2 v10.4.0 driver that supports 10.9. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site,
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
Before installing this driver, please remove the MF4380 from Printers & Scanners (unless you have already performed the reset that Carolyn mentions which will remove it for you). Then run the v10.4.0 installer and when it has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the MF4380.

Burn data dvd no longer works since 9.0.1 or 9.0

Since the latest iTunes update, at least 9.0 or 9.0.1, I am unable to burn backup DVD data disks which is my "offsite" backup method besides using Time Machine on an accessory drive. The DVD drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109: Firmware Revision: 1.58. I get error messages, did not save the text, but usually read/write errors, "sense" issues usually cited after several attempts. However, seems to work fine burning from Toast and fine for burning iTunes Audio CDRW disks. Anyone else experience this? I see several having problems recently burning CD's from iTunes, but not this specific issue. I know it's nearly time to update my system to Intel, but it would be nice to hold on a little longer...I did try to force lower speed DVD writes with no help. Thanks...

Did you check your security settings & trusted locations to ensure that the URL is on a trusted site??

External DVD No Longer Working

I was burning some CDs in Itunes using an external USB DVD writer today. Went to reboot after updates and system ended up stuck and requiring a power off.
After booting back up, the DVD writer is no longer recognized.
System Profiler does not show a device
Ran a permissions repair
iTunes still shows a device avaialble when I go to burn a playlist
Inserting a disc has no response from OS
I feel like somewhere it's "stuck" thinking there is a device that's not there, so it wont detect it again. Is there a way to force detection of hardware again and wipe out devices it cant directly querry or something similar.
I have reset PRAM and tried other drives
All other USB devices work fine, flash drives, hard drives, it's just external DVD players
Any other ideas?

I tried all that.
Let me be a bit more specific, does anyone know from an OS perspective each file that is innumerated and updated as a device becomes available to the OS, and is detatched. Something is stuck along that process I feel and I may be able to track it down If I knew where to start.

HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook- CD/DVD no longer works.

Windows 7 64-bit
CD/DVD spins and doesn't play
Uninstalled & Reinstalled drivers- still not working

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Check if the drive is now working.
If the drive still doesn’t work correctly, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
Regards,
DP-K

Time to restore the hard drive to its original factory-new contents.
If you don't have the Toshiba recovery disc, you can order it by calling (800) 457-7777.
They will want your computer's serial number and a credit card number.

Flash drives, DVD drives, DMG, ISOs, no longer work

Starting in the past week, a number of our users (40+) are no longer able to use flash drives, dvd, drives, dmgs, ISOs, etc. They do not mount at all. The system claims that there are no mountable file systems.
We have imaged a brand new computer and it reads everything just fine. After we do a full software update, the aforementioned items no longer work. This has been repeated and confirmed a couple times throughout the day. This is on OS X Mountain Lion on MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Minis. We have imaged and tested it on all 3 systems with the same result, running a certain part of software update seems to be breaking file system mounting.
Has anyone else witnessed this today, any one in Apple care to chime in?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.

Hi, I got my Mac in 2009 with photoshop elements on it - it's recently been wiped, however before the process we put Photoshop onto a hard drive, we then copied it back over and it no longer works, I'm getting error code 150:30 and I'm being asked for a password... any ideas how to get it working again?

You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and you can't get to all the bits and bobs.
First you will have to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is necessary to break the links within PSE so that you can pitch the bits manually. Then you will have to go around, not only to applications, but also to your username>library>preferences and most importantly to the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and remove everything you can find. Spotlight will not help with this kind of search, so don't try that.
Then you can install PSE from scratch.

My dvd player is no longer working and my mac will not accept my installer disc

my iphoto is no longer working either, as well as my dvd player, so i decided to reinstall, using my installer disc, but my computer turns it around a few times, then spits it out! what can i do?
I updated recently to os x maveric, that is when my iphoto stopped working, yet i have previous photo;s in the iphoto gallery, the dvd stopped working a while ago for no reason.
Any ideas?

It's not possible to restore the operating sysem from your install disc on a Mac running v10.9 Mavericks.
The only way to restore OS X is to startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
Try iPhoto and the DVD Player app after you restore OS X.

DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

After recently installing itunes on my new PC running windows 8, the CD/DVD drives no longer works, gives a code 19 message. Seems itunes is impacting the registry of the DVD drive. What is best solution to keep running itunes normally in the future & get the CD/DVD drive working again? if I delete the upper / lower registry keys what other functions are impacted? I see others say itunes asks for a reinstall...then same problem all over again! THX

Have you revieved this support document?

CD/DVD drive is no longer working on my HP Pavilion Slimline s3720y desktop

Hi! I am having problems with my HP desktop computer and wonder if someone can help me solve this issue.
My CD/DVD drive is no longer working on my HP Pavilion Slimline s3720y desktop. When I tried to test my CD/DVD drive to ensure it it was working properly , When I clicked to open Hardware Diagnostic Tools and it said "The software program is not found". The CD/DVD drive was working but will not respond or recognize that a disk is in the drive. It states insert disk in drive. Where are my diagnostic tools that are missing?

Hi,
Your Seagate update CD is to update the firmware for Seagate hard drives.
Did you try the tips in the post that I referenced above?
Error 31 indicates that the driver is not installing correctly.
Go to Device Manager, locate the CD/DVD drive, open up the CD/DVD drive, double click, click on the Driver tab, then uninstall the driver. Now reboot your PC and Windows will re-install the driver.

Dear ladies and gentlemen!
I recently received on my notebook, operating system 8.1, the message "Adobe Acrobat is no longer working properly". I also found myself that I can copy from einerPDF file excerpts not without problems in another document. My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has released version 9.0.0. Two updates this version is not listed. Please inform me how I can fix this problem.
Sincerely, Walter Hacksteiner

The first thing I would try is to update Acrobat 9 to the latest version 9.5.5
The next thing would be to run Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 or Vista or XP Compatibility Mode.

DVD burning no longer working.

Hi there,
I am not quite sure if it is since the 10.4.9 update or the re-install I did a month ago, but DVD burning with Toast 7 or the Finder no longer work.
I can burn CD's with my internal NEC DVD RW ND-3520A drive and I can play DVD's just fine too, but when I try to burn a disc I get this error:
"Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022"
I am using Phillips DVD-R media that I have used before, the firmware on the DVD drive is at 1.04 there is a new Firmware updater but you need a Win2K machine.
But the Firmware update has been out for a while and I have been burning happily until now.
Anyone on the forum have an idea as to what the issue is?
All the best,
Anil.

Hi Dak,
Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately I have been using Patchburn for a few years now. I had to reinstall my system because of some dodgy software from Vodafone. I upgraded to 10.4.9 from 10.4.8, just like every good OS X user.
It burns fines with CD's it just seems to be a problem with DVD's, maybe it is a media issue, might try a few other brands and see if that helps. again thanks for your advice.
Anil.
