Dvd palyer jutters after 10.7.4 update
Has anyone else had issues with playing media via the DVD Player after the latest OS update. When stopping or pausing the audio and video jutters for a couple of seconds afterwards. Have used the delta, combo and full clean reload of 10.7.4 all have the same issue. Reinstalled 10.7.3 and the issue goes away.
Late 2011 Mac mini.
Cheers
Similar issue with my Mini, after I did the 10.7.4 update now my external dvd player, while playing, will jutter then the spining color wheel, then dvd player software not responding and having to force quit, during play on the free Mac DVD software, version 5.5. Tried it on VLC same issue. I'm thinking its a driver issue.

DVD export broken after 10.0.1 update
A project which I have previously exported to DVD in Final Cut Pro 10.0 can no longer be exported after 10.0.1 update.
The symptom is that, athough it plays back fine in the Viewer, after doing Share -> DVD, the burned DVD ends up with these choppy sections where it loops the same 0.3 seconds or so over and over. This occurs after about 4 minutes of playback (it is an 8 minute video).
I've burned multiple DVDs, and deleted the projects render files and re-rendered, and tried multiple DVD players, all to no avail.
This is my first attempt to burn a DVD since applying the update from App Store, which is why I surmise the update may be involved.
Visually it looks a lot like a disc with a bad scratch where it gets in a loop. But as far as I can tell, Final Cut Pro is actually burning the DVD fine, and it is actually writing the same 0.3 second of video over and over. That is, if I put it into a DVD player, I can fast forward from 03:00 to 07:00, and it is still looping the same snippet of video.
Has anybody seen this problem? Any advice for how to fix. Thanks.This may or may not be related, but its worth mentioning as it relates to what may be a change in the update. I did a test export "Share" > "DVD..." on a project. It worked very well. DVD played just fine on a few devices.
Same project after the update and it fails to share a DVD now. It opens the Share Monitor app and after a few seconds FCPX shows me this:
First, lets take a moment to appreciate the inherent humor in FCPX telling me I've failed. Funny. Moving on...
Restarted FCPX - no change.
Deleted "Shared Items" folder, in my FCP Project folder - no change.
Restarted Lion - no change.
Realization iLife in Lion no longer comes with iDVD - not happy.
Any advice? -
DVD Player breaks after 10.5.6 update
Since doing software update to 10.5.6 my DVD player has been exhibiting the following behavior:
1. DVDs very slow to mount
2. Playing starts slow, stutters, almost like slomo for about a second or two
3. Play stalls after several seconds thereafter
4. Time indicator continues to count up, but image is stalled.
5. No audio whatsoever
6. I can drag forward on the player window, but the problems repeat. It starts slow, plays for a couple of seconds, then stalls again, without any audio.In my case, as explained before, simply deleting the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file did not make any improvement.
My problem thus seems to be some incompatibility of the new 10.5.6 framework with some previously installed package.
Although I did not spent enough time to isolate the exact incompatibility, it may be related to some of the extensions I had in the buggy 10.5.6 system which were absent from the clean one; here is the differential list if someone is interested :

External dvd not reconized after 10.4.5 update
I have a LaCie D2 Porsche FW and I was able to burn DVD's and CD's w/no problem. Since the updated software my drive is not reconized. I Tried using Toast and Popcorn and the disc is not seen at all...I tried several types of media--HP, TDK and Sony--none work---help me if there are some drivers or app that can settle this little problem.
Thanks,
GlynnDid you unplug the drive during the upgrade?
It is recommended that you do that. -

CD/DVD completely disappears after Windows XP updates
I had this happen twice now, on my 3 year old Toshiba Satellite P35-s605.
The internal CD/DVD drive works fine, then all of a sudden, it completely disappears from the system. Discs do not play, and the drive does not show up in Explorer.
Likewise, it's the same with my external USB CD/DVD drive; it works fine, then it no longer shows up even though the USB "boing" indicates that the computer reads that a device has been connected.
The last time it happened, I reinstalled the original recovery disk. That seemed to correct the problem. It disappeared again after a Windows XP update (I have not yet added any software besides the OS).
Has anyone had this problem, and has anyone solved it?Satellite P35-S605
The last time it happened, I reinstalled the original recovery disk. That seemed to correct the problem. It disappeared again after a Windows XP update (I have not yet added any software besides the OS).
I have never heard of a Windows Update causing that sort of problem. It sounds like hardware.
Have you ever tried this fix?

DVD Player Broken after 10.5.4 Security Update
After the recent Software Updates, my DVD player no longer works. I've tried a variety of disks, and none plays properly. Symptoms: first, there is no audio. Second, the playback stutters and stalls. Third, the application beachballs and eventually stops responding, requiring a force quit.
The disks play in VLC.
I did all the normal DIY troubleshooting stuff like checking the disk, repairing permissions, running maintenance scripts.
This seems related directly to the software updates, because I was able to play DVDs before installing them.
--thaloHi thalo,
I have the same problem and this user has it, too:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1676773
It only occurs on my Intel Mac mini. On the PPC Mac mini with also all updates and almost the same software installed the DVD player runs without problems. Which is strange as in your and the other user's cases it happens on PPC machines.
I tried creating a new user, reinstalling the DVD player from a pre-update backup, and uninstalling all Quicktime codecs (which wasn't a big hope as the DVD player doesn't use Quicktime afaik), but nothing helped.
I'm sorry I can't help you. Did you find a solution? Hope Apple can fix it in the next update.

Dont want to re install operating system and lose all my itunes and photos etc? Anyone had the same trouble today? What shall i do? can i download a driver? urgh help me please!!
"upon checking my hardware overview my _*cd/dvd driver*_ has completely disappeared like it was never there!!"
I have checked every section in the Hardware overview & I cannot find any mention of "drivers," CD/DVD or otherwise.
Which "model" & "generation" G5 iMac do you have?
Need this info so that the knowledgeable users can provide you with the proper troubleshooting solution(s).

after the last Yosemite update on my MacBook pro I turned the FileVault on, now my Mac is freezing all the time and encrypting the drive looks like going to last forever and I am unable to use my MacBook pro what must I do???!!!
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My G5's hard drive died after doing a software update while iPhone was connected.
My G5's hard drive was corrupted and unbootable after doing a software update while my iPhone 4 was connected. Coincidence or related?
Attempts at rebooting produced the file folder icon with flashing question mark. It's been a LONG time since I last saw that.
Disk Utility/First Aid reported that drive had "invalid node structure." The disk could not be repaired because it "could not be unmounted."
Is the failure possibly related to the iPhone being connected at the time of the software update and restart?Possible the iPhone had something to do with it, but I like to make sure the Disk Directory & Permissions are good before any update.
Was that Repair/Verify done when booted from the Install Disc?
You must repair the HD, if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it then...
Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

MacBook Pro doesn't turn on after 10.7.3 update
Hello,
Recently I have updated my macbook pro (15-inch early 2008) with OS X Lion to 10.7.3 version. After the computer restarted and installed the update it turned off, then when I tried to turn it on and it didn't do, do you have a similar issue after 10.7.3 update?, the screen never turns on and I can only hear the sound of DVD drive and immediately turns off, can you please help me to solve this issue? Thank you very mucho for your suggestionsTry these three things in this order:

Anybody have DVD Player issues after 10.7.3 upgrade?
Aloha everyone,
I upgraded both my iMac and MacBook Pro to 10.7.3 (I used the combo updater) like any dutiful Apple customer, as I've never had an issue with an upgrade (I made the switch in 2006, so I don't have that much history here). I didn't notice this at first, but I have several DVD rips whose icons now appear to be a generic file icon. Furthermore, when I double-click on them, instead of DVD Player opening both the control window and the viewer window, only the control window opens. When I press the play button on the control window, I get the system error beep. I can not play the DVD file even when I then choose File ... Open from DVD Player's menu. I can use VLC to play the DVDs, but I would rather use DVD Player (just my preference).
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue since upgrading to 10.7.3. This is pretty annoying, especially considering that DVD Player is an Apple app. Oh, and I use Ripit for my DVD rips. After purchasing a DVD, I would rather just rip it and play the rip than take a chance on damaging the original DVD.
Thanks in advance for any and all responsesFCS 3 is working as usual for me, although FCP did re-profile the RT Extreme settings and took a couple of seconds longer to start up the first time after updating. What else have you installed or updated?
I was also on the 10.7.3 beta. It did not change anything in the behaviour of FCS 3 there either. -
Kernel Panic Error after last MAC OSX update
Hi all,
My first post here.
Last week, after install the last update of MAC OSX on my intel IMac (last of 2009), when the computer was restarting, a kernel error screen appears...
I've launched the safe mode, and the computer starts fine and I've execute the disk utility to repair HDD and rights. I've done the same initializing from the installation DVD, but the kernel error appears again...
I leave only the usb apple keyboard plugged, and I don't understand why this error still happening, and of course why it occurs after a MAC OSX standard update (no new hardware or software installed in the las month).
I'm little desperate with this issue
kernel error.
Many thanks in advance!

Hugo

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems

It does look like the com.metakine.handsoff.driver, whatever that's about. -
How long is an 'abnormally long' time to boot after 10.4.8 update?
How long is too long to wait for my macBook Pro to take to boot up after installing the latest update?
An hour?
2 hours?
A day?
I installed from Automatic Updates and shutdown rather than restart. Came abck hours later turned on powerer and waited and waited. After about an hour I tunred it off booted from the install CD, ran the disk utility, fixed a few permission and rebooted...
Should I take it in to the Apple Store tomorrow morning if this continues or reinstall the OS and start over?Hello dn:
As an aside, comparing Windows to OS X is like
comparing a plow horse ready for the glue factory to
a thoroughbred race horse. I use both every day and
have for years, so I have vivid daily comparisons.
Now then, as I indicated above, you probably caused
the problem by interrupting the software update
process. At a guess, you have clobbered directories
(you, not Apple). The first step would be to run
repair disk from your software install DVD (boot it,
holding down the "C" key). Repair disk is found in
the disk utility. If that works, you should be back
to the point where you can reinstall the combo
updater. There is also an excellent third party
program (mentioned above) called DiskWarrior (pricey
at about $90, but worth it if it saves the day).
If none of that works, you probably should do an
archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
A good back up/retreat strategy is just good
computing practice whether or not you are a computing
professional. There are several approaches. I make
bootable clones of all my iMacs on an external
firewire drive using a little program called
SuperDuper (&28 at www.shirt-pocket.com). The
bootable clone gives me almost complete protection
against hardware or software problems.
By the by, these forums are user-to-user. Everyone

OK, So I'm a cry baby.
But I do not buy your argument that it was all my fault. After I inrterupted the hour ling gray screen and ran and fixed a few previlige problems and tried again over 2 hour went by with nothing but the gray screen.
Archive and intall did get me back and running, but by now 4 -5 hours of my life are gone that I want back!
And the tone on this whole board seems to be we MacBook owners, who unsupectingly trusted Apple and let the Automaitic Software Update have its way with a computer that was functioning just fine, the result of which is a computer that needs to have the OS reinstalled, are at fault for having poor prior knowledge?
I bring up Microsoft because they are BAD. They have an OS that allows 3rd parties to install code to render your computer useless at best, a robot of evil at worst.
Yet here we have the Apple, a trusted known entity and the manufacture of not only the hardware but the OS handing us an install that should have just WORKED.
So al I can think is the Delta install is the culprit, since I had previously been on 10.4.7 and the Archive & Install put in 10.4.6. The Combined installer is ok.
Again MacBook owners are victimized for keeping current?
Some one at Apple deserves a dummy slap at least.
MacBook owners represent the "Switchers". They bought on style and a promis of stability and reliability. Not the allure of becoming UNIX Geeks or even Uber User or browsers of forums. They came from that dull gray world out there where viruse roam but if you let automatic updates run and loaded up with antiv virus and spyware scanners, things pretty much worked.
I'm not new to mac as I have been usinge them since I shelled out $3,500 for a Mac SE. (Don't laugh). I gave up however being a Uber User and I at least am tenaciouse enought to find this discussion board. I suspect there are going to be a lot of busy Mac "Geniouses" for the next few days as ordinary computer users stream in with MacBooks with gray screens.
You know Sony support totally *****, but they are rated the best on the PC side for customer satisfaction. Why? You almost never have to seek support from Sony.
Again I'm just ******** 'casue it happend to me on a new laptop that was bone stock. Its working now so problem solved.
