DVD Player freezes after updating to 10.4.10

I have never had an update issue, but now I've got one to make up for all of them! Ever since I updated to 10.4.10, DVD player will freeze and say "Error Reading disc" or something like that. Any suggestions?

I have the same issues. When playing a Video_TS file from my hard drive of from a disc, it will get about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way thru and then it freezes and won't go any further. Please Help.

DVD Player freezes when ajusting sound...

The DVD Player freezes every time I try to ajust the sound or pause the movie or change chapters. Most of the time it will sit there with the spinning beach ball and not do anything. This happens also when using Front Row. Is this software or hardware related? Its version 4.6.5 firmware 4.6.8, thanks for reading this.

Specs are 2.0 GHz Intel, 1GB RAM, 100GB HD. I make sure that no other programs are running while watching a DVD, and I have no other problems like this with any other programs, so far. So I am sure that its not due to lack of memory or proccesser speed. I will try 'Repair Permissions' and see what happens.

Wifi on iPad freeZing after update

wwifi keeps freezing after update.

Hey F.hodgkiss,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps related to the symptoms you may be experiencing:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks,

Flash Player freezes after a few seconds of playing

Adobe Flash Player freezes after playing for a few seconds.
It does this in both Mozilla Firefox and in Google Chrome.
It does this regardless of how much of the file has been buffered
(it's not just pausing and waiting for buffer)
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed.
I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox installed.
I have the latest version of Google Chrome installed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player.
I've tried disabling hardware accelleration.
I've tried increasing the buffer size.
I've tried setting the buffer to 0
I've tried clearing the appdata cache

fourstrings411,
Could you give our 11.4 beta release a try to see if that resolves the playback problem? If it does not, please see this FAQ for other possible solutions. In particular, look towards the bottom for instructions on rolling back versions or disabling protected mode.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
Thanks,
Chris

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.
--thalo

Hi 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.

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 :

DVD Player problem after 10.4.7 upgrade

I don't know if I posted this to the right forum so I'll repost it here. Sorry for the repeat. Compared to others on this forum my problem seems trivial but it is still somewhat annoying. After installing 10.4.7 upgrade combo I can no longer use Apple's DVD player app. The app launches and recognizes DVDs but cannot make it through the title before it hangs. It responds to eject and quit. It informs me that skipping to the next chapter is not permitted and it does not crash. I have tried: dumping the prefs, fixing permissions, and re-running the updater. On the same machine if I reboot onto the other drive with 10.3.9 the DVD player (V 4.0 vs V 4.6.5) works as advertised. Any ideas?
TIA
Dave

I HATE FM! OK so I found the problem. I posted and got some ideas. I downloadsd Pacifist and re-installed DVD Player. (one version back 4.5 v 4.6.5) I removed all power from the machine for 10-15 minutes. The problem was still there. After giving up in disgust I left the computer alone for a day. This morning I figure I'll check out a DVD I just made using VLC. (afterall it still worked) So I stick the disk into the drive and DVD Player launches and I'm waiting for it to freeze and....@#% #@*& @#* *# % #*&^@! It works just fine! So I stick in the comercial DVD I had been testing with and its all better now. BUT I DON"T KNOW WHY!
Sorry for the rant.
Thanks for all your kind help.

DVD Player Freezes Occasionally

My white MacBook (running OS X 10.4.11, purchased August 2006) occasionally freezes while playing DVDs. This happens very inconsistently, perhaps once for every five or more DVDs I play. While the film is playing, with no input from me, the computer becomes nonresponsive (i.e. I can't change the volume, none of the keyboard keys work, I can't control/pause the movie), the mouse still visibly moves on the screen, but it is a spinning rainbow wheel for several minutes. The funny thing is, the movie continues playing as if nothing is wrong, but I have no control over it. Eventually the problem either resolves itself, or I force quit (which does not work immediately, but does force the program to quit after a few minutes).
I run software update and none needs updating. I scoured Apples help fields and these discussion forums and did not see anyone else having this problem. Please direct me to a helpful thread, if I missed it.

I would first run disk utility and repair permissions. Then I would delete the plist file. It's here:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDplayer.plist
Then restart DVD player and see if it works like it should.
If it's still acting up I would try playing the dvd with VLC, it's free and you can get it here:

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 responses

FCS 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.

Flash and DVD player freeze

After roughly a day of my MacBook Pro being on, flash video starts causing all browsers to freeze systematically (pinwheel until force quit). Non-video flash content plays normally. A reboot always solves the problem, and it always returns after another day or so.
It's been 2 weeks, and since then I've noticed that as flash videos start freezing up browsers, DVD player also freezes up when trying to play a DVD, and After Effects gets stuck on loading (Initializing Media Core). The reboot resets all those symptoms.
Seems to me that something is wrong with OS-wide video playback. I'm not absolutely positive that Flash is causing the problem, but I feel that it is.
Ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
Yi

Some additional info:
I have acquainted myself with the plethora of Flash problems mentioned elsewhere in Discussions and around the web, but none of the problem mentioned there seemed to be reset by a simple reboot, and then keep coming back. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash and my browsers, and I've tried repairing permissions and repairing the disk a few times.
Thanks,
Yi

DVD Player freezes

When I put in a DVD ocassionally the DVD Player will freeze. The application will not force quit and the DVD will not eject. I tried to play Star Wars Ep I for my son today and with the first 30 seconds it froze up. However, Ep I plays just fine in my PB G4.
After force quiting the application the first time, the DVD Player quit, but when I tried to reopen it I got error code 600.
A couple of weeks ago, I called AppleCare about this issue and they told me to quit all apps before playing a DVD. This problem occurs even when all apps are closed. Any suggestions? Is this happening to anyone else?

Charles,
Without more information I can't be of much help. I would suggest that you try using VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html on the same disks to see if it can handle it. Apple's DVD Player usually lets you know if there are minor issues with the program chain/PGC (except if the instructions actually halt playback and prevent forward access through programmer error). Since your DVD's have backup information files (.BUP backs up .IFO), the issues are more likely in the VOB (video object files) themselves, or something in the physical layer.
It's possible that the player lens isn't aligned correctly or is dirty, however this usual results in an error from dvd player. Freezes shouldn't happen. It's possible there is a load issue and you could take a look at the logs or the activity monitor to see what's going on.
On the hardware side, it's possible you have an issue with your graphics chipset or more likely a thermal problem. You may want to isolate this issue by playing a few disks consecutively while hammering the machine (running a lot of apps/thrashing) if it doesn't happen due to heat then you're at least eliminating one thing.
I'm sure someone more informed than myself about the player will come up with a simple answer, but it shouldn't happen so please let us know what you can determine as to when it occurs:
Does this occur with one title in particular?
A few titles?
All DVDs?
Does it randomly occur with no relation to the title (The Matrix may freeze one time and play fine another time)?
Does VLC remedy the situation?
Good Luck,
-j
