  • DVD Player not playing discs

    My DVD player won't play rental dvd's etc .. I get a message saying "Supported Disk Not Available"
    I have successfully played on 2 dvd's on this machine (it's only 2 weeks old) and each of those times i got a message asking my permission to change the region settings plus a warning that i would only be able to change the settings 5 times ... this third attempt at watching a movie (a big reason i bought the 2nd machine - to watch dvd's in my bedroom) it now gives me the 'not supported' message
    HELP!!!!!

  • DVD player not reading discs. Any DIY advice?

    Hello Everyone, my DVD player suddenly isn't reading discs. It just makes a ticking noise. Does anyone have DIY repair advice? Thanks! Kristina
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Clicking sound indicates optic lens is trying to focus on disc, 2 DIY options, try both. First make sure discs are clean & have no finger prints or smudges on them, second, if the lens is dusty you can open the drawer and shoot some air duster striaght in the center (the compressed air duster you find in the computer dept. for cleaning keyboards & dusting screens). You can put the straw in the opening about 1 inch, directly in the center, make sure the can is upright. If this doesn't work, it might be time for service.

    Hello man-el,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the computer cannot read CDs. To assist you properly, I do require the following information:
    1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your product number
    2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
    3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
    4. Have you installed any new hardware, software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
    Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Why does the DVD player say "supported disc not available?"

    So, regular DVDs will play and are recognized on my Macbook Pro, but I'm trying to play a recordings DVD (for a music literature class) and the DVD player says "supported disc not available." The DVD is supposed to work on my operating system since it's the newest one, but I don't know how to fix the problem! Please help!
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem lately.  I have a mid 2010 21.5" iMac with an internal SuperDrive running Yosemite.  I tried putting in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Giver" rented from RedBox.  Both spin sputter for a bit and then eject the disk back out.  So, it never mounts and no software (Finder, Disk Utility, DVD Player) ever gets a chance to see it.  Both play fine in a 15 year old DVD player, and my purchased copy of "The Dark Knight" mounts just fine in the iMac.  So, I have to assume that something is being done to the DVD's that rental companies are given to prevent them from mounting or something.
    Not having any luck on Google trying to confirm that.
    I guess I need to amend this.  Both DVD's play fine in a early 2011 13" Macbook Pro with the internal SuperDrive.  It's running Mavericks still and has a "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-8A8".  The iMac has a "OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H".  Not sure if it's the drive, the OS, or what (although I will say I'm fairly certain I was having this problem on the iMac before Yosemite, so it's probably not the OS).

  • DVD Player not Working on OSX

    Hi,
    I just received an iBook G3 with OSX on it from my old boss. Everything works great except the DVD player. It is on the toolbar at the bottom but is 'greyed out' so I can't click on it. If I do, the icon gets a question mark over it.
    When I looked in my hard drive, I saw that the DVD player is in OS 9.2- and the "Apple DVD Player" is greyed out there too. There is no DVD player in OSX in the hard drive.
    The drive itself works- it plays cds, and recognizes the DVD (it appears on the desktop with it's correct title, etc.)I have tried several DVD's and it's the same with all of them.
    I am a PC person as is everyone I know who knows computers so I'm completely at a loss. Thanks for your help!

    I've checked out Pacifist, and it opens the packages just fine, they're all there, except of course, for DVD Player...I've looked at all three of my installation discs, and it's just not there. So now what can I do? I finally got a Dual Layer DVD drive, and I can't watch DVD's, InterActive's player worked for a day...now it won't run, even after reinstalling it.
    If I can't install DVD player from the discs, and third party software isn't working, what should I do?

  • Combo Drive Problem: Not Accepting Discs

    Recently, I swapped out a broken Matshita drive.
    The new slot-loading optical drive will not accept discs.
    What confounds me is that the drive (seems to) show up in the System Profiler:
    MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8124:
    Firmware Revision: DZ13
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
    Media: No
    If it is a power connection issue, would the device appear in the System Profiler?
    Anyone have a theory?
    iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    John,
    I agree with JeremyP, it sounds like your combo drive has serious problems & needs to be replaced. My guess is misaligned laser. If you live near an Apple Store, take it there to have one of the geniuses look at it. I had to have mine replaced when it rejected more DVDs than it accepted. It's refusal to accept CDs was probably not far off.

  • When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    when I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • DVD Player Not Working - Need Help Please!

    My eMac is currently not reading DVDs. The drive will recognize and automatically play commercial music CDs and software, as well as burned music CDs. However, when a commercial DVD is inserted into a drive, not only will the DVD player not recognize or play it, the eMac does not even notice that there is a DVD in the disk drive.
    Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    hi there--
    there are a number of things for you to try. one is to do a pmu reset. instructions are found in step 6 of this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=34885 if you have an ati graphics emac or later, then the pmu button is on the right side, not the left. if that doesn't work, then try resetting the firmware. boot to open firmware by holding apple-option-o-f and then type in the following commands--
    reset-nvram (hit return)
    set-defaults (hit return)
    reset-all (hit return)
    the last command will restart the computer. if neither of those things works, then i would try booting to the install disk and running disk utility. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 if that fails, then i would create a test user (system preferences > accounts, then hit the plus sign) and see if there is any difference there. let me know how that is going for you.

  • HT2499 how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title?

    how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title

    Play all chapters, i mean.
    I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.
    OS 10.4.
    Macbook 6
    Thanks so much!

  • HT2499 Why won't the dvd player recognize a disc?

    Why won't the dvd player recognize a disc?  The brand new dvd I insert keepgetting ejected.

    Try cleaning the lens of the optical drive.
    Use a DVD lens cleaning disk.
    If you have a can of compressed air, shoot some in to the slot.
    Us a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) wrapped around a business card and gently insert it into the slot.

  • My cd/dvd drive will not accept discs

    Last night I was burning some music to a disc from itunes... the first disc worked fine, then on the second I received an error message and now ever since the drive will not accept a disc (I can pop it in and it makes some noise and then kicks it out) and ideas

    hftvhftv, greetings;  Not at all.  One can utilize a lens cleaning DVD, shoot some compressed air in the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eye glass cleaning cloth)  around a stiff piece of paper or thin plastic and insert it gently inside the slot.  All of these techniques have had success in the past.
    Ciao.

    Hi,
    Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether there is a hardware problem with the optical drive itself. 
    Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
    The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( as should your Recovery Discs ) , so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive or the sata controller.
    On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if your noteboo will run this OS from the CD.  The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.
    http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
    Let me know if this will run.
    Regards,
    DP-K
