DVD Player error: not compatible with OS

Trying to fix a coworkers G5. She has 10.5.8 running, and can't play any DVDs. She is up to date on all software updates.
When I went to the DVD player settings, I couldn't choose "DVD Player". When I tried to open the application it told me that DVD Player is not compatible with this version of the OS X.
Can I reinstall that application? If so, where do I find it? Is it on the system installation disk? Do I need to do a reinstall of OS X?? Any other options?
Thanks for any help given.

Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Photoshop CS3 gives me an error "not compatible with his version.." when trying to reopen files

Photoshop CS3 gives me an error-
"Could not complete your request because this file is not compatible with his version of photo shop" when I try and reopen psd's or layered tiffs,
it usually happens to files over 1gb in size,
I can open them up in illustrator but not in photo shop,
this is very annoying, it also happened today in CS2

"could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop"
We've just had te same problem with a PSD file, it could not be opened by Photoshop CS nor CS3, and ImageReady showed the layers empty. So we downloaded The GIMP to give it a try. It took a extremely long time for The GIMP to open the 500MB file, but it did, without throwing error messages. Some layer masks were interpreted incorrectly, and the color profile tag was ignored. But at least the project could be saved to a new Photoshop file, which was opened by Photoshop without error messages except for the color profile tag.

Adobe flash player 11 not compatible with Dragon NaturallySpeaking "help"

Adobe flash player 11 is not compatible with my Dragon Naturally Speaking software. How can I or where can I download flash player 10?

Try here for a list of the various Adobe flash player versions:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
scroll down to bottom for the actual downloads. (Note that I got the same problem with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and I had to uninstall the latest Flash update. Now I have to find an appropriate Flash version to reinstall / reenable Flash.)

DVD player does not work with latest update

I installed the latest update 10.8.2 and now my brand new Superdrive will not work with new MacBook Pro Retina display. When I plug in Superdrive and try to start a DVD, it say "DVD quit unexpectedly......" Took to Apple store and they said it was latest update. Anyone else with this problem?

Dear all,
Perhaps you found out yourselves but the latest Software Update, called OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update, solves this issue. I recommend you install it and restart your Mac.
When you insert a DVD in the drive and DVD Player launches, you will be prompted to confirm the region encoding (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, based on the encoding of the DVD you are about to play). This is normal, and you should confirm it again, even if you did it previously.
Naturally, if most of your DVDs are encoded for one region and you want to play a disc encoded for another region, please remember you may make a limited number of region changes when you play other DVDs, and the last one will be permanent. So, act with caution and sensibility.

My DVD player does not work with some DVDs

My DVD does not work with certain DVDs. Do I need to get it replaced or is there some other problem.

Could it be that they're out-of-region DVDs? Which model MBP do you have (15" late 2011, for example) and which version of OS X are you running?

Flash Player 9 not compatible with IE 7?

A few days ago I installed Internet Explorer 7 from
Microsoft's Update Center. When I visited a flash site, I realized
I did not have flash installed so I installed it right away ((On
one computer from a prompt to get it, the other computer from the
adobe site directly)). Anyways, everytime I have Shockwave Flash
Object (flash9b.ocx) enabled and visit a flash enabled site I get
the annoying...
"Internet Explorer has encountered an error and must close"
and it prompts me to report the problem (which I do if for no other
reason than to annoy msft for producing a product with such an
obvious flaw)
I attempted to produce a crash log as someone instructed in a
previous post, but from following those directions to the letter no
.mdmp file was ever generated from the crash.
IF anyone knows a fix so I can view flash again please let me
know, or just let me know a fix is in the works.
One last thing, and I don't know if it is of any consequense
but the afore mentioned file flash9b.ocx is showing up in the
add-on listings as (not verified) Adobe Systems Incorporated, while
the only other adobe products listed (Adobe Acrobat Control and
AcroIEhlprObj Class) both are verified and are functioning w/o
error as far as I know.

IDVD 4.0.1 error - not compatible with Mac OS X

I have a Mac PowerBook G4 and I updated the software with leopard. I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.7. For some reason, every time I try to open up iDVD the following message appears:
"You cannot not use this version of application iDVD.app with this version of Mac OS X."
I have tried to download updated iDVD software, but my Mac will not allow the update to go through.
This is the information regarding my iDVD software:
Version: 4.0.1
Last Modified: 3/1/04 1:01 PM
Kind: PowerPC
Get Info String: iDVD 4.0.1, Copyright 2001–2004 Apple Computer, Inc.
Location: /Applications/iDVD.app
How would I go about updating my iDVD software so it will function on my Mac?
Thank You.

You need to purchase a more current version of iLife. From your information, it would seem that iLife '09, which is currently being sold, would work on your computer. To be sure, check this out. http://www.apple.com/ilife/systemrequirements.html
If you do not wish to purchase iLIfe '09, then see if you can find a copy of '08 on sites such as eBay.
I hope this helps.

HP DVD1260I not compatible with windows 8.1

Recently i bought HP DVD1260I dvd burner, it works fine at first. I have windows 8.1 PC, recently I noticed my Dvd drive is not shown in windows explorer as well as in device mananger, but the dvd drive is shown in BIOS. To check my dvd is working or not, i have booted with linux cd, it works fine. Now, it shows that the dvd drive is not compatible with windows 8.1 (recent updates may cause this issue). Could anybody help?

Hi Jero,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
There are some issues with the upgrade - even if your system came with Windows 8.1, there are a bunch of HP products that are not updated yet for the new 8.1 environment. It is a pain, but the truth is that some things take more time than others. I do not work for HP, by the way, this is just my personal opinion.
Disclaimer: I am not running Windows 8.1 at this writing; I have some issues with the way in which 8.1 will treat some of my favorite setups... I am not ready to commit to the discomfort. Smiling.
You do have to be on the latest SimplePass to have a chance at all for this to work.
It appears that you are aware of the native Windows 8.1 fingerpring login service - this is a good thing.
I do not know personally if the fingerprinter, native or not, will work with that new "feature" of Windows 8.1 that wants us all to log in with our Microsoft password.
I did find a fix for Windows Live Login: Quick Tip: Change to a local account in Windows 8.1
If you can get your system set back to a local login and then make sure you are running the latest HP Simplepass, things may fall into place.
Latest HP SimplePass (at writing) is linked in the following file:
SkyDrive >> look for and open the file named:
Simple Instructions to Upgrade HP SimplePass
I hope something here helps!
Click the Kudos Star!
It is a great “Thank You” for the HP Experts who are here to help!

Moved Premiere Elements 10 project Error: "Project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements"

After moving an entire client folder from an external hard drive to an internal one, the client's video, created in adobe premiere elements 10, will no longer open in adobe premiere elements 10. It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
The same thing occurs when attempting to open the archive files.
New projects, and unmoved projects behave properly.
Moved projects receive this error.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on a solid state drive (SSD) (c:/), where premiere elements is installed
My documents, including the project I need to work with are on my "storage" drive (HDD). it is (f:/)

Archiving Aspects of this.....
First let clear the matter of the "archiving" as a life saver.... We do not appear to be on the same wave length.
a. I am talking about File Menu/Project Archiver with its Archive project and Copy project options. This feature is a safety net to save you when you
inadvertently disconnect source media from the project file. With the Archive option (Trimmed Folder result), you get saved to the computer hard drive (safe keeping) a copy of the project file plus copies of the media that were taken to the Timeline. With the Copy option (Copied Folder result), you get copy of the project files plus copies of much more.
b. Instead, you appear to be talking about "archiving" in the context of AutoSaves. AutoSaves are saved snapshots of the project at various phases of the edit. They suffer from the same shortcomings of the original project that has been disconnected from its source media.
When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals in the project. But, those copies need to trace back to originals at the locations where they were when first imported into the project. Moving, renaming, deleting files/folders that went into the project after the project save close leads to some very time consuming messy situations.
What to do....
If you can, put everything back the way it was. If not.....
Let me emphasis some factors..

Here you mention specifically "client's video". Later you detail with .mod files converted to .avi. What kind of .avi? If you have converted to AVCHD.avi or H.264.avi, they have been found not to be compatible with Premiere Elements. You should not be able to import them into any new or old project.
From what you described, I am envisioning
"Video" Folder
which contains 2 folders named
"Timestamped Folder" with .avi files
and
"DVD" Folder with the project file (project.prel)
The project file has many files generated automatically in the course of it workflow. Where do you have them going?
(See Premiere Elements 10 Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs). If you have the Scratch Discs directed
"Same As Project", then we would expect all those files to be going to the DVD Folder in the above scenario.
If we could open the project and get greeted with some "Where is the file.....?" messages, that might give us some hope.
But that is not the case.
Consequently from what you have said, I am suggesting that the path of least resistance is try to recreate the "before".
Please review and consider.

NERO burned DVDs not compatible with iMacs?

Can anyone confirm that DVDs burned with NERO
(in this case NTSC, Region 0/NO region code)
are not compatible with iMacs' DVD player?
When I insert these DVDs they get mounted, but DVD player can't play them.
Is there a way to fix this?
Or does the maker of the DVDs have to use special settings in NERO
to make them compatible?
Thanks!

Hi coxorange;
Since Nero is not an Apple product, I suggest you ask the vendor who wrote it.

I need to silently upgrade from 3.5 to 7 but get an error message after 7 install. Platform version 7.0 is not compatible with minVersion = 1.9.1

I'm trying to silently upgrade my environment to FF 7. I've gotten the silent install working great, it puts in my Proxy Server info, reassigns the home page and all that. But, the last version we pushed out was FF 3.5. If a user had that on their PC and they run the FF7 install, they get weird messages when clicking on the icon.
XULRunner: Error: Platform version '7.0' is not compatible with minVersion >= 1.9.1 maxVersion <=1.9.1
Another message they get is:
AutoConfigAlert:
Netscape.cfg/AutoConfig failed. Error: pref failed: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.setBoolPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: prefcalls.js :: pref :: line 70" data: no]
This is on Windows XP

Do you have other virtualization or security software that might protect .ini and possibly other files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and prevent Firefox from updating them properly?
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I'm getting this error statement: XULRUNNER error: platform version 6.0.2 is not compatible with min etc max etc6.0.1 - what is this about and how can it be corrected?

This is what I think may have happened. The other day, Thursday Sept 8th, I shut down my pc in the middle of a Firefox upgrade. Now when I try to access Firefox on my pc, I get this error message:
XULRUNNER Error: Platform version '6.0.2 is not compatible with min Version >= 6.0.1 max Version < 6.0.1
What is this about and how can I retsore access to Firefox on my pc?

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.
