DVD Player 5.4 not working on OS 10.6.5 ??

Hey guys,
dvd player 5.4 is not working on snow leopard 10.6.5
Apple should fix it.

I will assume that the DVDs you are having problems with are commercial products, not home-grown, and they work totally fine in another DVD player. In other words, we can rule out that the DVDs are not the problem.
The story you tell is certainly suggestive that there is a problem with the software updating process. Before you take the computer back to the Apple Store, one more thing you can try is using the "Combo Updater" for 10.6.5. You can get it from the Apple support web site. It is a large download, close to 1 GB in size. You simply install it on top of whatever updates you have already done.
It is one of those things that sounds almost like voodoo, but solves an awful lot of problems.
It is a good idea before installing any new software to go into Disk Utility, highlight "My MacBookPro", and run the "Repair Permissions" and "Verify Disk" buttons. Don't worry about all the results you will get under "Repair Permissions;" everyone gets the same results and rarely do you need to be concerned.
So let me be among the first to suggest you try the Combo Updater.
Good luck

P.S.: you do have a computer backup strategy, yes??

Dvd player external does not work

Two weeks ago I bought a HP Stream 11" with no CD/DVD drive; when connecting an external CD/DVD drive via USB does not work and appear a window that says a file is missing; I am kindly asking for your help regarding what has to be done in order to make it work. Please note that the External DVD/CD drive worrks perfect on others Laptops I own
THank you

HI @agalford03 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a great place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you have purchased the HP Stream 11 which does not come with an internal CD/DVD and when you connected an external one, you received a message that it was missing a file.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you done a manual check for Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to check for HP updates?
What file does it say you are missing?
When it is connected, if you check Device Manager does it supply any additional information?
Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter?
Good Luck!

Is it also a CD/DVD burner? Or is it kjust a CD/DVD player?

My dvd/cd player/burner is not working...

My dvd/cd player/burner is not working, and I don't want to spend $$$ to fix it. What dvd/cd is available at a good price?

You have given us little to go on. What Mac product line and model? Different Macs take different optical drives.
Also, when asking what is available, telling us you general geographic location is a help. That way, someone won't recommend a vendor that cannot ship to your location.
Although you cannot determine from the non-intuitive forum title Apple chose, the forum you found is for Mac hardware made before 1998. Anything here get very few views. If you have a newer model, we can ge the Hosts to move you to a more active forum and more eyeballs.

DVD Player app won't work with Snow Leopard

I installed Snow Leopard recently. I tried to watch a DVD with DVD player. It wouldn't work. I got this message in a box: "You can't use this version of the application DVD Player with this version of Mac OS X. You have DVD Player 5.0.3."
I looked for a recent DVD player update/download and could not find one. Same with Snow Leopard updates...
Does anybody know the fix or the workaround?
Thanks,
Estel Dillon

HI,
Download and install the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
In the future, when updating system software, click the Apple Menu  /Software Updates. If that doesnt't work then go here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and use the standalone installers.
*The DVD Player application is not available to reintall from the SL disc*. If after the suggestions above haven't helped, then back up your important data before you do anything, then reinstall Snow Leopard.
You can reinstall the following apps from your SL disc.

Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash. Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything. I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
Yup. Nothing. When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option. I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
KB931433
FlashInstall
Install
Flashplayer.xpt
When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled. I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure. Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled. The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website. I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine. I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems. It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
Any ideas?

Well, great. I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it. No such luck. The video still plays, but no sound.
All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players. I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
In the Flash folder, I now have:
Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go. The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
Now what? I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

When you say DVD drive is not working and cant detect disks, Is the Optical drive listed in Device manager and My computer? Is not reading any specific disks or all kinds of disks ?

N900 Media Player and Camera not working

Hello,
I am having some problems with my phone which I think might be related to gstreamer.
When I open the camera cover and the camera tries to launch I get the error message "Operation failed". Media player also does not work, I can see the media files but when I try playing them nothing happens.
I used gstreamer to capture images for an application that I created and it has always worked fine until recently, when I started noticing the problems with the camera and media player.
Between the time everything was working and now, this is what I have done:
-installed OpenGL ES 2
-installed Qt
-copied a bunch of screenshots from the phone to my Mac (i think I just did it through bluetooth but I might have used the usb cable)
Here is what I have done to try to fix the problem:
-connect the phone via usb to a windows computer, rightclick the n900 icon and error check (as recommended on this forum)
-update the firmware using app manager
-reboot
-type dmesg in the terminal after opening the lens cover - that did not output any errors
Could this be related to anything other than the gstreamer? If it is the gstreamer, should I try reinstalling it?
Any help would be appreciated
Best,
Eyrun

Thanks. The reason why I haven't done that yet is that the gstreamer libraries came with the phone as I got it and I am not sure what needs to be installed. It seems like there are many plugins and something called totem-gstreamer that I might need additionally. Do you know of any good references for how this should be done for N900? I haven't been able to find one. Also, I do think it is a little bit strange that all of a sudden gstreamer would stop working, that's why I wonder if it could be something else?
Best,
Eyrun

My project is set up with "rotation" menu intro, video, and then "rotation" on end, however, when you put DVD disc in DVD player, menu does not come up on front end, it goes straight to the video. Is there some step I am missing?

Open your iDVD project and go into the Map mode. Made sure the autostart bin on the left is empty.
Click to view full size
If you find a video in that bin remove it, save the project as a disk image and check the disk image with DVD Player. Then you can burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utilitiy at 4x for optimal burning.

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.

One Step DVD in Mac OS X DVD Player = "Supported disc not available"

I created a few simple movies in iMovie HD 6 and burned them in iDVD 6 as One Step DVDs from the iMovie Project file using Verbatim 2x DVD-R discs. The final DVDs have no trouble playing in my standard component DVD players, however they won't play on any of my Macs. I get a "Supported Disc Not Available" error message when I launch DVD Player.
Is there a compatibility problem between DVD Player and DVDs burned with iDVD??

My version of DVD Player is 4.6.5 which works fine, but I don't EVER make OneStep DVDs. Check your version.

I cannot see why DVD @CCESS and DVD-ROM content are not working properly

Hi,
I am very new to DSP, and I know I am missing a piece of the jigsaw, but I do not know what it is. I used a tutorial from creative cow to try and make the @CCEESS function work, but no dice… for now at least. When I did a build/format (to the HDD) everything went fine. I mounted the image, and I could see the DVD @CCESS folder and the DVD–ROM content on the DVD image. When I went to play the image, the button did not work. The content I am trying to use with @CCESS is a PDF file.
The tutorial I followed was this: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/alexzander_alex/dvdaccess.php
By the way, I am using is 4.2.2
Help or just counsel is appreciated.

As Eric said - DVD@ccess is really not that useful. It was a way to get documents like PDFs to automatically launch in the application (like Acrobat) when watching a DVD on a computer. Since they can't launch on a set top player the technology was already limited. Then the whole issue of getting it to work on a PC arose - it simply wasn't reliable. I managed to produce one disc that was replicated with @ccess links, but I knew the parameters for it's use in advance and managed to get it to work. It doesn't work on modern machines.
For a while there was a Sonic app which was much better at getting this sort of thing to work, but you had to work on a OC to set it up. Sonic pulled the app shortly after I bought it (sigh) and never replaced it. The fact is, automating document launches and web links is actually pretty tricky on a DVD, the results were variable and it never really enhanced your discs like you wanted to think it would!
If all you want to do is include a PDF file on the disc, and alert viewers to it being there, you only need to use the ROM content functions not @ccess, and you can use a menu screen to give instructions to people to let them know how to find it.

K8N Neo Dvd Audio and USB not working

I've been thru all the messages and found a few with the same problems I'm having but none of solutions worked. The first one
when I play a dvd on mt Plextor PX-712A. The video works fine, but the is no audio. I tried with the digit audio option turned
on and the off and tried the analog mode. Nothing. I burned a DVD and played it in my DVD player and I have audio, put it
back in the computer no audio. I tried everything. Maybe someone might have a clue of what I should do next.
in my Epson Perfection 1670 scanner and I get "Unknow device". I don't have a front USB panel, just the rear ports and the D-Panel. I
cleared the bios and reset it up but it didn't help. I sure someone has the magic cure.
Thanks for any help I can get.

PX-712A
seen several odd issues with them fixed by newer firmware
But not here! Upgraded the bois on the mother board and the PX-12A
I also went thru that message area about the USB problem. Something about pin 10 on the connector, that
should not have a wire connected to it, well mind did't have any thing connected to it. Since I don't have
a USB front panel. I'm only using one connector JUSB1 (I trird JUSB2 with no luck). One of the rear USB ports
does't see anything connected to it, the rest is "unknown device"
