DVD button /chatper won't work on mac DVD player

I have another weird thing going on... not sure if anyone would have an answer or not...
My dvd plays fine on a standard dvd player (on a tv) and fine on a dvd player in a pc... But when i play it on a mac the dvd will not advance (only on a certian chapter), when i press the advance button... This button works fine when i play it on both a regular dvd player and on a pc dvd player but not on a mac... Have you ever heard of a dvd working different only on a mac??
Thanks

Not sure if this is a model or OS issue. I produced a DVD-ROM title for Mac and PC in Macromedia Director in 2003. It's always worked fine but when I tried it recently all the invisible files could not be found. I have 500 copies of the darned thing. Are these toast now? Haven't tested the disc on a PC yet.
Are the invisible files really gone? Or is the OS just not seeing them?
Mount a DVD and in a terminal enter
cd /Volumes
ls
and you should see the mounted DVD and its name.
then enter
cd DVD_NAME (whatever the name is)
once inside the DVD, you can
ls -al
and
cd to any directory of your choosing
to see if the files are missing.
My guess? They are all still there but invisible to Finder.
I find it hard to believe all those files on all those DVDs vanished.

  • Movies won't work when a DVD is inserted ?

    Movies won't work when a DVD is inserted.  What do I do to watch a movie ?

    Just one DVD or all of them?
    Some DVD's just need a gentile cloth and rubbing alcohol wipe on the bottom to rid of fingerprints etc.
    If your using out of region code DVD's (each area of the world has regions codes assigned to the computer and disks) then that needs to be changed.
    This can happen if you buy a Mac used from another part of the world or use DVD's from another region.

    new version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

    When I try to open safari a message says: You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
    I see Recovery needs Wi Fi which is not available here and Recovery is loaded with a list of  potential disasters.
    To heck with Safari I'll just use Firefox. Apple sure screwed up here judging from the multitude of similar complaints on the internet.

  • GoDaddy won't work in Mac Mail

    Hi guys,
    mac Mail is doing my head in!!! I launched a website for my business using GoDaddy as my hosting and I'm trying to add my account to mail but nothing works. I've been on the phone to godly and they went through all possible solutions and came to the conclusion its an apple problem. They said apple mail might have a specific port that I need to use for an external client or something like that? Anyone got any help? I can;t get a hold of anyone from apple, their support is useless unless you pay for it!!

    I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.

  • Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer?

    Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer? I tried everything, and I watched so many tutorials after not succeeding. I read in another forum that it is common. Please help. I have already used about 20 discs trying to figure out what is wrong.

  • Why doesn't the DVD I burnt using iMovie work on my DVD recorder?

    Why doesn't the DVD I burnt using iMovie work on my DVD recorder?

    You probably used the Finder and burned a data DVD. They can only play on a computer.
    Do you have any DVD authoring software?

  • External Toshiba drive won't work on Mac after using on PC

    My Toshiba External USB drive stopped working on my Mac air after I downloaded some files on a PC. It worked numerous times on the PC and then I brought it back home to use on Mac. Now, it won't show up on finder but can be found on Disk utility. I cannot manually mount it there. Repair disk and verify seem to finish but still won't mount. It was originally formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The PC did not prompt me to re-format or do anything to the Hard drive.
    How can I get it to work on Mac again?
    Thank you.

    Good day haynechi,
    If your external hard drive will not mount on your MacBook Air but it will show up in Disk Utility, you may need to erase the hard drive in order to get it to show up on the Mac again. NOTE - this process will destroy any data on the drive, so be sure you have anything on there backed up somewhere else before you begin!

  • Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

    Hi there,
    I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
    I've done the following, but it still won't work:
    1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
    2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
    3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
    4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
    The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
    Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
    Best Regards,
    A new Walcom user in desperate

    I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try.  Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
    Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
    Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
    Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
    Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
    Once the software is removed, restart the computer
    Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
    http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
    As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

  • Works in Simulator, doesn't work in Mac DVD player

    Never seen this before--the Simulator actually works fine, all links and menu calls are flawless. The Video TS in the Mac DVD player, however, menu calls and a couple of links do not work.
    The dvd should be fine, I burned one yesterday and all of this stuff was fine on the disk, just had to go back and make a couple of changes today.
    Anyone seen this before?

    I have seen this kind of thing happen before. You should definately try deleting and old builds when you compile. A couple times i had to delete the parse files and let the project reparse to get the dvd to behave properly after the build.
    sometimes i could only get the project to work by deleting the offending menus and rebuilding and relinking them.

  • My volume won't work on mac pro

    My volume won't work on my Macbook Pro. The button works and I can see the volume being turned up/down, but no sound comes out! I tried everything in the volume section of System Preferences. Does anybody know what I can do? Thanks!

    Try a PRAM reset:
    If no success, look in the audio output port.  If there is a red light, the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the headphione jack a few times and see if that will trip the switch.
    Ciao.

  • Audio interface console (app) won't work on Mac Pro

    Hello there!
    I just bought a new Mac Pro and did a clean install of all my apps. Everything seems to be working fine except one thing: my audio interface's console.
    I'm using an Audiofire 4 interface, which has little physical controls on it. I've been using its console software on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro to control it. Last night I installed the software from the CD on the Mac Pro and it won't work!
    I launch the application from my home folder on my boot disk (SSD). I also tried installing it on the data HDD and still no luck: when I try to launch it it closes immediately. All my macs are on the same version of SN so that shouldn't be the problem.
    Anyone has a few ideas? I use my computer a lot for music so this has to work or I may have to return to the iMac...
    Thanks in advance!

    Update: this morning I installed the Audiofire Console successfully on my Windows partition (on another hard drive). I then came back to OSX (on my SSD) and this time the app, instead of immediately opening and closing, beachballed the whole system. The console gave me this:
