OS X 10.0.x was not, and is not, ready for prime time. It has lots of problems. I'd move to 10.1 at the very least if I were you. I'd also have at the very least 192MB of RAM in my machine, 224 better, 256 better still. 10.0.x and 10.1.x will run on as little as 96MB (they won't install with less than 128) but you won't like the performance you get with less than 160. (You won't like the performance you get when running 10.0.x, period; the phrase 'snail-like' comes to mind. Running 10.0.x in less than 160MB makes that more like 'snail trapped in amber'. And, as Classic runs slower than OS X itself...)

  • Aperture and DVD Player no longer work with NVIDIA 330M, help!

    I recently got my computer back from the Apple Store, had the display switched because the glass kept falling off.
    Anyways, since getting it back, I noticed DVD Player doesn't work anymore, it gives me:
    There was an initialization error
    A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]
    And when I try to start Aperture 3.3:
    Error
    The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
    I have a mid-2010 MBP i5 2.4Ghz with 8GB memory, running OSX 10.7.4.
    Things i have tried:
    Reset PRAM
    Reset SMC
    Boot into recovery mode and fix permissions
    Boot into 32 bit kernel
    force fsck
    Create new user and try from that account
    Also my video conference software, Jabber gives an error and quits too.  Its something with the video.
    Switching to Intel HD video, everything works fine.  Only with the NVIDIA 330M do I get this error.
    Does anyone have any idea what this may be or what I could try?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. Additionally, the DVDs I make aren't recognized by other Macs I've tried. All the Preferences are set correctly.
    My dvd player no longer reads commercial movies or a
    dvd project I just burned with it. Disks no longer
    show on my desktop when they are inserted. When I
    got to dvd player and manually press play it reads
    "not Permitted" for both.
    The burner does work in as I played the dvd in my
    home dvd player.

  • IMac DVD player no longer working

    Hi,
    I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    My iMac is not playing DVDs anymore. When I insert a DVD a pop-up window appears saying: "You inserted a blank DVD. Choose an action from the pop-up menu or click ignore." The DVD I inserted isn't blank and it says the same thing when I try other DVDs.
    From the action menu there is: Open Finder, Open iDVD, Open iTunes, Open Disk Utility. I have tried to open with iDVD and it didn't work. I tried to click on Open Finder and then the DVD shows up on the dektop but it is blank, nothing happens when I click into it the picture of the DVD.
    I think I have caused this to happen by accidentally deleting something in the applications folder. Any ideas of how I can reinstall the software that runs DVDs on the iMac?
    When I used to insert a DVD I would get the picture of the DVD on the desktop and I would be able to see it on "Front Row" where all the entertainment is.
    Thanks!

  • Dvd player no longer works, says it needs 10.7

    Just tried to run DVD player on my 10.6.8 Macbook Pro but it says it requires 10.7 or later. I can't upgrade to Lion since it drops support for older applications using PowerPC code. Who in Apple decided to update applications on 10.6 so they will no longer run?

    My version on 10.6.8 is 5.5 last modified on 6/14/2011. I also have a newer iMac that I upgraded to 10.7 last month. Was not pleased to learn that several of my applications using older PowerPC code no longer worked so I elected not to upgrade my MacBook for now.
    I pulled version 5.4 of DVD Player off of my Time Machine backup disk and it works fine. Thanks for the lead.
    Now the question is how did my DVD Player get updated to version 5.5 on my 10.6.8 system? Seems like Apple has a bug in their update system.

  • HT2499 My DVD player has stopped taking discs and the DVD player no longer recognizes the drive.  I bought an external player.  How do I switch the DVD player from the internal drive to the external?

    My DVD Player in my MabBook Pro, System 10.8.2, has stopped accepting discs and is no longer recognized by the DVD driver.  I purchased an external Blue-ray Disc player/writer.  It is a Samsung.  I downloaded their driver so the drive shows up on my desktop.  But how do I switch the DVD player over from my internal to my external drive?

    In addition to RRFS's advice, please post in the correct forum. This forum is for iMac's, you mentioned you have a MacBook Pro. They're similar but still pretty different hardware.

  • Why is my macbook DVD player no longer playing commercial DVD's that it used to play perfectly? It reads the disc, but then says not permitted when I hit play. It is much older than 12 months warantee so I hope there is an easy fix?

    The macbook reads a disc, and opens up DVD player but then says not permitted when I hit play, or any other button. Sometimes the initial music plays, but the screen remains black and then it all stops. These are shop bought DVD's that have previously worked on here, and work in DVD players, but have suddenly stopped. The computer is much older than the12 months warantee so I hope there is an easy fix? Thankyou!

    Three things you can try:
    1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
    2. Perform an SMC reset:

    3. Try the free DVD player VLC:

    which performs better than the built-in DVD Player.

  • Hi, is there any programme instead of i-dvd which no longer supported with lion? Toast11 had terrible reviews, . Aimersoft DVD creator is any better?

    Hi, is there any programme instead of i-dvd which is no longer supported with lion? Toast11 had terrible reviews, . Aimersoft DVD creator is any better?

    Not quite true. iDVD IS compatible with Lion, but does not Come with Lion.  I have a fully updated version of Lion 10.7.4 and I installed a previous copy of iDVD from backup of Snow Leopard, and iDVD works fine.  You just need to find a copy of it in iLife 11 or somewhere.
    Hope this helps

  • DVD Player AC-3 Support?

    If I'm preparing a DVD for international release, do I have to worry about PCM audio, or am I okay going with just a Dolby 2.0 and Dolby 5.0 soundtrack? (I've yet to find a DVD player that doesn't support AC-3.)
    Thanks.

    A bigger question is whether all players will play
    NTSC discs, and even the ones that do will need to
    plug into a TV that can cope with what it is given.
    That was a concern of mine as well, but I've sent copies of my DVD to people in six different European countries (my primary int'l market) and it worked for all of them. That made me happy.

  • Portable DVD player with Iphone support?

    Im looking for a portable DVD player that I could also plug in my Iphone and watch the movies in the DVD screen. Anyone know of any brands out there that can do that?

    Well there is a Video "Out" cable you can buy for the iPhone (component or composite). With that cable you can do video out to a screen with matching (component or composit hookups depending what you bought) to it's Video/Audio "In"
    Here is a link to the component cable

  • HT2801 DVD Player does not support this media

    I was trying to use Bamboo and it will not read disc.  I tried to use Nikkon disc and it will not read disc.

    The DVD player you bought in the states as well as the discs are in NTSC format and in you part of the world the standard is PAL.
    This link may help you to understand, and if you do a web search you can find converters.

  • Standard Dvd Player no Longer Works

    All of a sudden my computer has stopped recognizing dvd's. The drive accepts them, I hear it spinning, but no icons appear. This is true for both movies and software. it still takes audio cd's, but dvd's have stopped working. any thoughts?

    Yes go to your Apple and shut down..
    Wait 4 or 5 minutes,,
    Restart computer..Go to Mac HD open it go to Applications..click on it and scroll down to DVD Player, Click it and when it opens to the Black Screen..
    Do Not Touch Anything.. Put your Commercial DVD Movie in and wait.. It will take a minute to read the encryption and security on the DVD and it should start playing your Movie....Cheers....Don

  • Cd/dvd player no longer functioning the same.

    My player used to work just fine. I went to burn some cd's of photos and found it no longer was functioning. I read numerous posts and have tried all the fixes that I found.
    First here are the issues.
    1. plays music cd's (purchased)
    2. As of today spits out dvd-movie (purchased) that worked last week.
    3. Doesn't recognize blanks that used to work and doesn't spit them out. No icon on desktop. Can eject only through my Toast program or by restarting computer.
    Fixes tried.
    1. Multimedia Laser Lens Cleaner. (It has 8 little tiny brushes on the underside, don't know if it is any good, just bought)
    2. Did a PRAM reset.
    3. Did a PMU reset.
    4. Did the permissions and disk repair from computer and from the OS disk.
    5. changed the systems preference setting to open Toast when a blank CD is inserted.
    Nothing has changed.
    Thank you in advance for any additional insight.
    Colleen

    There are lens cleaners that look more like plain CDs only with slightly 'furry' surfaces for lens cleaning, but there's no reason to assume the one you have is any less effective or won't do the job of cleaning the head appropriately.
    Basically the drive will only show up in the Disk Utilities application when there's a readable volume inserted in it. It doesn't appear at all if the drive is empty because Disk Utilities doesn't read the drive hardware. Thus if the drive controller is working and thus the drive shows up in the System Profiler, but the head is damaged or failed thus it won't read disks, it would give the symptoms you describe.
    I have to say that I've never been a great fan of these slot-loading drives, though that doesn't mean there's anything intrinsically wrong with them or any inherent reason they would fail. To me, however, I've found them relatively slow and poor in overall burn performance (particularly the superdrives). One would hope that drives wouldn't suffer head failures after such a short period of time, but sadly some will, even if on balance the reliability of the drives is generally good.
    Might I suggest that if you have an Apple store within reasonable reach, you take your mini in for it to be looked at. If there's a simple cure the genius bar in most Apple stores has proven rather effective at finding it!

  • DVD drive no longer supports as many media types

    Hey guys
    I recently had a serious problem with my MacBook Pro, only solution was to back my stuff up and do a fresh install and start all over again. Everything went fine, but I noticed just now in the system profiler, that my optical drive (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875) now only supports CD/DVD write to -R and -RW discs, and I know for a fact that before I did the new install, it supported a couple of other types, including +RW. I'm still hunting for a cause/solution to this, and will post anything I find, but in the meantime, any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

  • DVD Player no longer plays a VIDEO_TS folder.

    I used to be able to play a VIDEO_TS folder that I had ripped from a DVD into a hard disk. There is still "Open DVD Media" on the File menu, but when I select a VIDEO_TS folder it pops up an error window: "There was a problem opening the media. The media type is not supported." This always worked fine before Mountain Lion.
    Any ideas?
