DVD does not appear

My CD/DVD does not appear in Mac not in Win7 running under Virtual machine? Anyway ideas how to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem.

Look in the preferences for your Virtual Machine. If that doesn't work then refer to the forums for the Virtual Software you're using.

Boot DVD does not appear in list on Option Restart

Greetings - I am attempting to run Stellar Partition Manager to adjust two partitions on my SSD drive. I have setup a dual boot configuration where 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.2 reside on that SSD drive in two separate partitions. To adjust the partitions I must restart the workstation from a Boot DVD created using that software, however after restarting while holding down the Option Key, the DVD disc does not appear as one of the choices in the bootable drives list. I believe the DVD drive is functioning properly as I routinely use it to read and write discs, including loading software. I have reset the PRAM, but that has had no affect. So far I have not received knowledgable support from Stellar, and have kind of gotten the run-around. I am hoping I can independently work around this issue. Thanks for any thoughts. Scott

Hi Larry,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Edit web part option disappeared in the list web part.
I recommend to check if the account has permission to edit the web part, please check the permission of the account in Site Permissions and the list permissions.
Please also check if the target audience is set in the web part.

CD or DVD Disc does not appear on desk top ...

When I insert a blank CD it comes up on the desktop. When I
insert any CD or DVD that contains data the CD or DVD does not
come up on the desktop. I have looked at "troubleshooting a cd-rom " from Apple. I've tried a number different brands of CDs and DVDs so it isn't the disc. I've been told that I need to clean the lens on my CD player and have bought a CD cleaner made by Memorex however I can't use it because it doesn't come up
on my desktop because it isn't blank....a conundrum. Anyone out there
who could shed some light on this problem? Thank you!

OK WHERE IS APPLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? I have started idvd, control-option-p-r and still nothing. It can't be my drive because it will play data, and blank dvd's. It is the software updates I have 10.4.5 with a g5 sony super drive but I do not play movies often so I do not know which upgrade it is. Does apple look at these posts? You know there are hundreds of cases out there by the number of posts here and other threads in tiger. search "My DVD disc doesn't appear on my desktop " and see all of the threads. I bought my 5th mac because of ease of use but why there isn't a patch for this is pxxxing me off

My AppleTv keeps dimming as if it is in energy saver mode. My DVD player and TV do not do this. How do I disable the energy saver feature on AppleTv? BTW this is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

My AppleTV keeps dimming as if it is in energy saving mode. My TV and DVD/Netflix player do not do this. How do I disable the energy saver feature in AppleTV? BTW: This is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

I keep seeing versions of this same question, and it's always the same answer: it's the TV. Well, it happens to me as well. But it only happens when viewing programming via Apple TV. My cable is totally fine: no dimming. Only with Apple TV. So what's the answer?

DVD drive does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen

I have lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen.
It will start up with a disk inserted but shuts down after a approx 20 seconds without having opened any files.
The DVD light comes on when it first starts up and then goes off within a few seconds.
I have re-installed the Toshiba driver and still no access.
I believe it started when I installed a new WD 1Tb external drive which setup its virtual CD drive on the E: drive which was used by the DVD drive. I have moved the external drive to G: and left the E: drive letter vacant but still not working.
Any ideas how I can solve this? It would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this will help you but check it anyway

This file does not appear to be a photoshop file error.

Hello,
I know this has been covered a few times already, but none of the previous threads about it were able to help my situation.
Ok so here is what i did:
Exported a JPEG from a timeline in FCP. Brought that JPEG into PS (i am using CS3), and changed the image size from 1920x1080 to 720x480. Then saved as a JPEG, didn't tick any boxes, just used default save as settings.
I then brought those images into my Encore DVD Project, added them to the library, then placed one into a already made menu, and "sent to back".. so it became the new background. I did this with two menu's today. Note i have actually done this same exact process many times without problem. I then tried to build a dvd image of the project, and i got the "this file does not appear to be a photoshop file". Now it won't even let me open those menu's (plus another one, which i made a long time ago, and have even successfully built DVD's with), to edit them. I tried removing all the new JPEGS i added today, from the library, but still i get the same message.
The menu's that i now can't open, took a very long time to make, and i need to have this DVD completed ASAP.. as it is being released world wide in a couple of weeks and i need to get it replicated. So i don't actually have time to remake these menu's. So if anyone can help me, that would be much appreciated, as i have studio exec's cracking down on me.
Thanks in advance :-)

Now, if one Imports the JPEG with its extension changed to PSD as a Menu, then the Menu is created, including the necessary Layers. The Menu is NOW a PSD, and when Opened in PS will reflect the Layer structure (try this at home). If one had constructed Buttons in the JPEG, they would now only be graphics on that one single Background Layer in the JPEG. They would not function as Buttons, but could be useful graphics for other things. One would then need to add real Button Layer Sets to the PSD to be able to add any navigation.
Back in the post above, I suggested doing the Save_As to JPEG to see how things get changed. Use that in another test - Import that JPEG as a Menu. In Encore, try to Link to what had originally been Buttons in that Imported JPEG. What happens? Can you Link to them, even though you are now working with the created PSD?
Now, add a Button, or two, from the Library. Choose Edit in Photoshop, and look at the Layer and Layer Set structure. Things have changed from the original JPEG, with only the Background Layer. You now have that Library Button's Layer Set structure.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
Hunt
Here are looks at the structure, using the Library Menu Business>Clock:
The Menu in PSD with the Layers Palette Open
Same Image With Layers Flattened to Save As a JPEG
What the JPEG Looks Like As a Flattened JPEG
The only way to Import that JPEG into Encore as a Menu would be to change the file extension to PSD, but what appear to be Buttons would NOT be Buttons, but just static pixels in the Background.

Ipod touch does not appear in itunes on a computer with windows 8.1

I purchased the latest ipod touch for my daughter from an apple store but it would not display in Itunes on a computer running Windows 8.1.
The apple technician got it to work but in the process disabled the the driver for the CD/DVD reader. What gives?

Error Message** This file does not appear to be a photshop file

Okay.. so I have been researching forums and have seen this message throughout, my issue seems to be slightly different. When I am in Encore CS3 and trying to create a menu, I import my background designed in photoshop, have the buttons set up correctly, test it in the preview screen and everything works correctly, the file is recognized as a psd file, and even saves as a project in encore. When I go to build my DVD I get an error saying "This file does not appear to be a photoshop file, although when I check the properties it recognizes it as a psd.. any suggestions?

Adam,
Not sure that I understand this message:
And Actually yes I do have a circle in my button to play now.
Can you enlighten me a bit. Does this mean that En has accepted the PSD, or something else.
If something else, I would also look closely at the Layers in the PSD. While I do not recall very small Layers creating an issue in En, they have been known to do so in PrPro. This is often something like a very small logo, on a Layer by itself, with nothing but transparency around it. In PrPro, a message, similar to yours is offered up, but that is in Import, and you got it only with the Build.
Too bad that the Check Project function is not a full pre-flight test of all Assets, like in InDesign, but it falls short, as it only checks for DVD-compliance in the navigation. I've filed Feature Request for more, but since En is built on the Sonic AuthorCore modules, I suppose that it's not as easy, as I would have hoped for.
Good luck, and help me understand the above,
Hunt

Drive does not appear in finder

My Time Machine drive is connected but the drive itself does not appear in the device list in finder. I can set Time Machine preferences in Time Machine software but I cannot access the drive through Finder.

Thought I'd post a couple of screenshots to help - a pic is worth.....
This is the System Preferences > CD/DVD Pane which no longer appears on Macs without an optical drive (this is from my MBP with a Superdrive):
This is the iPhoto Preferences window (within iPhoto):
But, none of that applies to external optical drives because they will never show - the preferences you set will show the media, but not the drive. My external optical drive is brand new from OWC and it does not show. However, it works like a charm.
As for your RAID setup - as I said, i can't help there because I have never used it.

IPhone Does Not Appear in iTunes

Hi! My iPhone 3GS does not appear in iTunes. It is recognised by Windows. It is recognised by iTunes in my desktop PC, but the problem is when I use my Samsung NC10 portable notebook.
I am using Windows XP Home, version 2002, with SP3.
iTunes is version 9.2.0.61
So far I have followed suggestions in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
including re-installing iTunes, resetting iPhone, checking that required services are running, stopping & starting services. I have used msconfig to see if I couls identify any conflicts but no success.
I used iTunes diagnostics, and it answered "no iPhone, iPad, iPod found"
I DO get an error when I start iTunes:
"The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install iTunes" However, the Samsung NC10 does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I am assuming this is the cause of this error.

This file does not appear to be a Photoshop file - Menu won't import

I was searching on the forums and found that some other people have had this problem, but I didn't see any solutions.
When I try to build my DVD from Encore, I get this error "This fiel does not appear to be a Photoshop file.
I created my menu in Photoshop CS4, imported it as a menu. When I preview in Encore it works fine?
The photoshop file is 8 bit color...should it be 16? I tried that to, but it doesn't seem to change anything?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

The 2 bit image object that shows up to the right of the buttons on the highlighted state still was a little too crisp, but
I'm going to try a little vertical blur like you said to see what happens.
Well, the Vertical Blur will not work there. The Sub-picture Highlights cannot have any Styles, or Filters added to them. What I do to "simulate" a "glow" is to to create a second Sub-picture Highligh, in the next Layer down (in the same Button Layer Set)t, ever so slightly larger. I then set it's Transparency in Encore to be about 50%-30% of what the "original" Sub-picture Highlight's Transparency was. You can also assign another number from the Menu Color Set (this is done in PS), and then adjust that number's value in Encore to be a shade lighter of the original Sub-picture Highlight's. You will end up with maybe a 2 and a 3, and need to pick those colors from a Custom Color Set in Encore - cannot be done in PS, at least through CS3 and I do not believe in CS4 either. That might bear checking out, with someone like Jeff Bellune, or Jbowden. See this LINK for some tips, and this one for the full ARTICLE. The link to the version posted on Adobe has been lost, with the changeover in the forum. You can post and read at Muvipix.com, without a subscription, or even the free signup. Because of the wealth of Functional Content, stock music and Menus, etc., you might want to spend a bit of time poking around there.
Though most of the article and discussion revolve around removing part of the Sub-picture Highlight, the final steps are for adding what appears to be a Blur. Remember, you only have ON, OFF, COLOR (limited to 4, including the background) and TRANSPARENCY, for each pixel in a Sub-picture Highlight. That's why you cannot have Styles, or similar. You have to create the illusion.
Also, I created my lower third in Photoshop and saved out a .PNG file to import into Premiere.
When I play the DVD, there seems to be some noise in the title. Do you think that's because of how
I saved the video out or because I used a .PNG?
I do not know. I have never used the PNG format. Instead, I create all of my Titles (the ones that I do outside of Titler) in PS, often using AI for shapes, that will be Rasterized in the process. I do my Titles there, and then Save_As .PSD. If I wish to animate some of the Layers, I'll Import as a Sequence, if not, I Import as Footage. I always start from the image Preset to match my Project, so frame size and PAR are right to begin with. The only reason that I can think of for using PNG is the Transparency, but PSD offers that, and so much more.
There is much that one can do with the animation of PSD Layers in PrPro. It's not as powerful, or as full-featured, as is AE, but many are surprised at how good it is.
Best news is that you are almost there, and that things looked good on the DVD. If you have any trouble following the steps for the simulated Glow in the second Sub-picture Highlight, just let me know. It's been a whle, since I wrote that, and might need to re-visit it myself.
Good luck,
Hunt

(LDOM) The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

Sorry if this is not the right forum - it seems to be the closest one for things about LDOMs; plese let me know if I should post somewhere else.
I have installed LDoms_Manager-1_2.zip on a T5220 Server; following the book ("Logical Domains 1.2 Administration Guide") I set up the control domain etc, then a guest domain (cranachan) - so far all appears well. I downloaded the dvd iso of Solaris 10 (sol-10-u7-ga-sparc-dvd.iso) and added it to the guest as described, started the domain and issued "boot vdisk_iso:f -v" - this seemed to work well, but there was an error that turned out to be that I had given the wrong path for the system disk.
So I started over - removed the guest domain and the disk definitions for both guest and control domain, and removed the guest; then recreated everything. This time, when I "boot vdisk_iso:f -v" I get:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
Any idea what may have happened? It makes no sense to me; not unless the iso file has been corrupted, but it doesn't seem to have been modified, and I can mount it as a loop-back fs in linux.

I have the same problem with a Netra T1 system. Solaris 10 installed fine and it won't boot. It did have Solaris 8 on the system, but I put in new drives to start my Solaris 10 install.
I tried booting to single user cd-rom (ok boot cdrom -s) and ran this:
# installboot /usr/platform/SUNW,UltraAX-i2/lib/fs/ufs/bookblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s1
(SUNW,UltraAX-i2 was derived from # uname -i)
It didn't help.
I also tried "setenv diag-switch? false" at the okay prompt. It didn't help
Any thoughts?

I do I eject a blank CD stuck in my iMac 10.7.5? The CD does not appear on my desktop. Why not?

How do I do I eject a blank CD stuck in my iMa 10.7.5? Also, the CD does not appear on my desktop. Why not?

Here are some ways to eject it, hope this helps.
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button or track pad until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard at power up.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Re-installed CS3 and Bridge does not appear...?

I was having major issues with Bridge (slow-moving, then crashing and finally an inability to open altogether). I tried a c number of things like clearing caches, repairing permissions etc. In the end, I uninstalled Photoshop CS3 and deleted all Bridge files, and reinstalled PS from the CD. However, after the re-instal, Bridge does not appear in the Apps folder and does not seem to have loaded at all. How do I get Bridge back? Any ideas? Clearly I should not have simply deleted the faulty Bridge app., but I assumed a clean re-install of PS CS3 would re-load Bridge. Any suggestions? Thanks....

Don't know why Bridge application was still there while having uninstalled
PSCS3 using the uninstaller that Adobe provides in either the utility folder
or in the application folder itself. (or did you you remove the application
by dragging it to the trash, usually a very bad idea when an official
uninstaller app is provided for this task)
However reinstall should by default install Bridge again in the default
application folder on root level. That is if you have not chosen anything
else when installing from DVD (you mention CD? but the original CS3 was
delivered on a DVD)
You also should check if the installer has a checkmark in font of all
application, I think to remember also in CS3 you have the option to choose
for a custom installation without Bridge. Could you check that.
And can you also confirm you have a install DVD and PS is in the default
application folder, that is not in the user account but on root level on
your system.
Clearly I should not have simply deleted the faulty Bridge app., but I assumed
a clean re-install of PS CS3 would re-load Bridge. Any suggestions?
Thanks....

RDXV60KB - tuning menu does not appear after PSU exchange

The previous fault of switching off has been cured by replacing the PSU but since then the tuning menu does not appear.
The other fault is when selecting VIDEO the channels can be seen but on HDD and DVD there is only sound and a blank picture.
This is the same using HDMI and Scart sockets.
The ribbon cables have been eliminated by substitution and are assuming the fault has been caused by the original fault

> The previous fault of switching off has been cured by replacing the PSU but since then the tuning menu does not appear.
Not quite sure what kind of advices do you expect from this community but according to the information posted in your original post, there is definitely a hardware related problem and there is only one solution: the faulty parts needs to be replaced . This can be done by service technicians available in your country.
