DVD files not shown in DVD folder

Hi.
Some DVDs will not display as DVDs when inserted. Insted of the circular DVD icon, the icon displayed on the desktop is a folder icon with a red minus sign on it. The DVDs play normally when opened in DVD player, but in Finder the folder appears completely blank. These are DVDs of my work and it's frustrating because I can't access files within it in order to isolate certain clips. Other DVDs burnt at the same facilities place don't have this problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, dushman!
You might try running Repair Permissions and see if it helps. Also, see if the icon will allow a Get Info and see what the ownership/permissions are. It's a permissions issue...

DVD is Not Burning in DVD Studio Pro

DVD is Not Burning in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.0

I used build and format approach. Both discs play fine on computer platforms, but not on a consumer DVD connected to the TV. Normally I have no problem. I checked and rechecked several times all the preferences for Studio Pro. The only thing I noticed was instead of generating a Video and Audio TS file, it generated one HVDVD_TS file. Is this the issue? If so,where do I correct this (in the settings)?
Thanks

Files not shown in main catalog

Why does my main catalog say that there are 17 files not shown? There are no hidden files.

Thank you Brett; I have several files in stacks. I am new to Photoshop and still learning the program.

DVD Files not completely copied to hard drive

I recently bought a new Macbook and seem to be having problems with the DVD drive. I am trying to pull home movies off of DVD's and put into a format for Apple TV. I seem to have all the right software and the conversion process works well.
I tried using MPEG Stream Clip, directly from the DVD and then from the Hard Drive (.vob files I copied). However, when trying to "read" the DVD, I keep getting error messages. Also, when I try to copy the .vob files from the DVD, it stops copying at random points for the same DVD, for random files. Some work and some don't. I have to Force the Quit, reboot and start over, and it stops again, at a different point in the copying process. If I take the same DVD to my PC, it copies fine, so I do not suspect the physical DVD.
Could the Macbook DVD drive be reading the DVD too fast? Is there a way to slow it down if this is the case?
I also get the same type of problem when using MPEG Stream Clip. The DVD just seems to stop. I put the same DVD into the PC and run MPEG Stream Clip, and it goes through the whole process without a hitch.
Please help, as I really want to use this new Macbook and experience all it has to offer.

In answer to your questions:
"how do i find out which 140 could not be converted"
Do a search on your pc (in the folder you told iTunes to look at) for all files containing the extension .wma. Now if you wish you can cut and paste them into another folder somewhere else on your hard drive.
You may find Wikipedia's page useful (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsMediaAudio) as this lists the media players that can play wma audio files.
Another thing you may want to consider is converting your wma files to mp3 so they can be played in iTunes. There are lots of programs that can do this and many are free. Just do a search in Google.
If you have iTunes set up to add album and track information to music as it is imported to the library, this can sometimes result in giving you a misleading figure for how many tracks/albums you've got. The cause of this is described in the following technical document - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304389.
As an example I imported 'Classic Euphoria' (a dance album compilation). Each track on the cd is by a different artist. When I imported the cd into iTunes I expected it to create a one folder called ‘Classic Euphoria’ with all of the tracks contained within that folder. Instead, iTunes created a separate folder for each track as each track was by a different artist. If iTunes does this, then this is how you can end up with iTunes telling you, you have more albums than you were expecting! This may be what you’re experiencing. If you have any compilation CDs, follow the steps in the Technical Document above where it says ‘Albums with various artists’ and this will tidy up how your music is organised.
I hope all of this makes sense. Let me know how you get on.

Downloaded files are not shown in the folder indicated in Options

"Options" shows that downloaded files should be in a a particular folder. I go to that folder via Windows Explorer and they're not there...other files are, however. So -- how can I access the downloaded files via Windows Explorer if they're not being saved as indicated. Where else could Firefox be putting them? (for testing I checked the "downloads" window list on firefox and compare to the files in the same folder on Windows...two completely different lists).

When you are in the Firefox Downloads window, right-click a file and select '''Open Containing Folder'''. That will open the folder that downloaded file was saved to.

Can`t open any DVD files, not playing CD's and DVD's

Ok, about a week ago I left my MacBook with a music CD playing. When I returned, my MacBook didn't showed the cd. I've tried ejecting the disc and playing it again, but it seemed that computers always have something against me! Now, after too much attempts to eject the disc, i did it. But, now the machine does not recognize and read any disk. Only the HD, but not cds, not dvds, and, not external hard drives. Really help, i'm sick of always the same!

thanks by the tips, i tried them and worked. but, again, the problem grew and now, the optical drive could make nothing. not read, not eject (even with the terminal command), not recognize nothing(not my external disk from 1 TB, this is another problem.) i'm completely sad, because don't want to change my mac right now. however, any help is completely accepted.

My burned dvd does not play in dvd players

I created an iMovie and it is about 73 minutes long. I had no problems sharing it with iDVD, choosing a theme, and getting it to burn to a disc (it did take quite awhile, but it eventually got there!).
After iDVD finished burning my project, I went to test it out on the family DVD player. It plays correctly until about 20 minutes into the movie and then the picture starts to get all pixel-y and skip. The disc isn't dirty or scratched. I then put the disc in my old Powerbook to see if it would play, and it does.
So, my question is: Why will my DVD only play on computers and not in an actual DVD player? Does this seem fixable, or am I stuck watching my movie on a computer screen?

Hi Rochelle:
Welcome to discussions.
You would probably do better saving the project as a disk image. (Read this from Len Goff):
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

DVD@cess not working on DVD but only simulator

Hello:
Tried many times to get this to work, finally got DVD SP 2 in simulator to automatically open pdf folder when a certain menu is selected...but when I burned a DVD, though the folders are there on the disc (one folder but many pdfs in it), it doesn't launch at all when menu is selected - have to manually click on them after opening the DVD...how can this work correctly? This doesn't work either on MAC or PC.
Thanks much
KB

Thanks very much for the reply - details are... this DVD (called DVD for test purposes) has @ccess enabled in both DVD SP 2 simulator and DVD player on the MAC G5...have 3 menus, home menu has 3 button choices -
•a track
•a menu that should launch the folder with 5 other folders in it, each of them containing 1 to 3 pdfs in them
•one menu that is to launch a web site.
The web site menu DOES launch correctly in simulator on a build/burn of DVD.img...and on the DVD itself.
Problem is - in simulator the link to the one folder with the 5 folders in it (containing 12 pdfs) DOES work, ie the menu launches a pop up window that lets the viewer see the 5 folders available...they could then choose which one to open...However, when build/burn either a DVD.img (on my desktop) or a DVD, though the web site link menu DOES work, the menu with the pdfs folders does not launch either on the G5 or PC laptop.
I understand that the PC business is "if-y" at best, but wonder why even the G5 won't do this?
Links look like this - menu to launch the pdfs folder -
DVD@ccess = checked...name = many pdfs...URL = file:///dvd/IWICS artwork...everything spelled correctly, etc.
DVD-ROM = content -checked...location = users/kentbeeson/desktop/4DVD...Joliet Extension Support = checked
Have I got wrong info in my file paths to where it'll work in simulator but not on DVD?
Thanks for help

Help - How do I convert raw DVD files to a playable DVD?

I really messed up. I was trying to copy some home movie DVD's for my family. I put the CVD into my I-Mac and then selected the disc image in the finder once it appeared on the desktop and then clicked 'File - Duplicate' from the Finder menu. It created another image on the desktop with all the same files as the DVD in it. I then would eject the DVD and put in a blank DVD-r and then drag that folder onto the DVD, open the finder window for the blank DVD-r where I saw the files, and hit 'Burn'. I thought that would be duplicating the DVD but it actually just created a DVD with the data files on it and it won't play on a DVD player. How do I take the raw DVD files (with the Audio-ts and Video-ts folders) and create a burnable DVD? Can I do that with I-dvd? Is there a quicker way? Please help

DVD drive not recognizing some DVDs as readable

I have a brand new HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx laptop, with Windows 7, and I'm running into an extremely annoying issue. When I try to play a regular film dvd, everything runs fine, but when I try to run a game dvd, results vary wildly....with older games, the drive has no problem reading and installing the game, but when I try to install a new game, like Skyrim or Red Orchestra 2, the drive simply does not recognize the DVDs and doesn't run the install. I'm at a loss as to what might be causing this. I bought this computer so I could take my gaming with me, but if it can't even read the latest gaming DVDs, what is it good for? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Users in flat file not shown in Ressources Tab

Is it normal that users saved in flat (XML)files are not shown in the ressources tab?
When I acces the active directory or a WINNT or Solaris passwd file I see a "+" in front of the ressource with clicking on it I see all users within this ressource.
But there's no "+" in front of my XML ressource also I have some users saved within my XML file!?

I think you must be looking at the reconciliation account index. Only resources that you have reconcile against will have entries in the account index.

N900 messages are not shown in Conversation folder

Sohail,
thanks
MODERATOR'S NOTE:
Subject title was edited to the most appropriate topic for the post.

here you go. follow this exactly as i type, one step at a time, line-by-line.
this will fix your conversations issue, but all your conversations will be deleted.
i think that you would agree, having your conversations working is much more important then keeping 10,000 text messages that are just cluttering up your device.
1. install rootsh onto your device by doing the following:
-if you dont have the Extras-Devel repository installed, then click on the link for each to auto-install it first.
-open your application manager (App. manager)
-select "Download" (this will be faster if you are on wifi)
-select "all"
-slide out your keyboard and type "rootsh"
-tap on rootsh
-tap on "I undertand and agree"
-tap on "continue" (it will download and install rootsh and show when it is done.)
-close application manager (App. manager)
2. Open your x-terminal (x-term)
-type "sudo gainroot"
-tap the return arrow
-you should see: "BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.blah, blah, blah"...and then "/home/user #")
if you see the above, then move on. If you see anything that pertains to something being open or beside the above, it means that your App. Manager is still running in the background or is not closed. make sure it is closed and then if necessary, reboot your device to be sure. if you rebooted, then after the reboot, start at step 2.
*when you see "/home/user #" then continue with the below:
-type "cd .rtcom-eventlogger"
-tap the return arrow
-type "sqlite3 el-v1.db .dump > el-v1.db.sql"
-tap the return arrow
-type "sqlite3 el-v1.db.new < el-v1.db.sql"
-tap the return arrow
-type "cp el-v1.db.new el-v1.db"
-tap the return arrow
-type "chown user el-v1.db"
-tap the return arrow
-type "chgrp users el-v1.db"
-tap the return arrow
Now close and/or re-open your Conversations app - the changes should be immediate!
it will be empty, but you should be able to see them now. there seems to be a bug that still needs to be fixed and is triggered when a sms that is recieved is bigger then 140 characters..."sometimes"
hope that helps.

Server has not enough memory for operation (Some .rpt files not removing from Temp folder )

We have web application developed in ASP.NET 4.0 ftramework and published on IIS. And we are using 13_0_8 version of CR.
I am creating report files and exporting these as pdf. And I am disposing streams and report documents at the end. Initially, there wasn't any problem and temporary files which are created by CrystalReport were deleting all. But, now requests to the web application increeased to about 50.000 in a day and now some .rpt files are staying in Temp folder and I can't delete them. After recycling application pool all files are removed by IIS. Then, after 1 or 2 hours new .rpt files are creating in Temp folder. And after somewhile, application throws Server has not enough memory for operation. And, IMHO the reason is temp files. Here is the code I am using to export report as pdf.
Questions:
1. Is the reason of this exception is temp files in Temp folder?
2. What is wrong in that code?
ReportDocument report = DownloadPDF.GetReport(id);
   MemoryStream stream = (MemoryStream)report.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
   Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
   Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + id+ ".pdf");
report.Close();
report.Dispose();
   try
   Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
   Response.End();
   catch (Exception)
   finally
stream.Flush();
stream.Close();
stream.Dispose();
Here is the StackTrace

Files not shown in Catalog

I am in the process of moving files from one Hard Drive to another, both in the LR Catalog. The files shows in Explorer but not in the Lightroom Folder. When I try to move the same file from one LR folder to another folder on a different drive but in LR, it wont move it because it says it exists. However, when I try to add that file to the LR catalog is says there is nothing to add.
As a test, I made a new folder in LR; I used explorer to move the file. Then I used LR ADD feature to attempt to add the file to the Catalog. It does not add the file.
I give up; anyone have any ideas?

anyone have any ideas?
Yep, quite a few. Instead of trying to add them back into LR, simply right-click on the folder, and reconnect it to the folder in the new location.
If you relocated many folders, but kept the folder layout, your best bet is to "promote parent" so that they appear under one top level folder, and then reconncect only that one, as LR will then find the rest of them under it.
Cheers!
