  • Apple DVD Player not recognizing external speakers

    I have connected a pair of Logitech V20 notebook speakers to my MacBook Pro. I adjusted the System Preference settings/Sound/Sound Effects - play sound effects through "Logitech USB Speaker" and that works fine. I can hear my laptop's beeps through the external speakers.
    But when I put in a movie DVD and the Apple DVD Player boots up, the sound does not come through the external speakers. So, in the DVD Player, I selected Preferences/Disc Setup/Audio/Audio Output and the external speakers are not there - only "System Sound Output" with nothing else available/recognized.
    So, how do I get the DVD Player to put the sound out through my external speakers and not the laptop internal speakers?

    "System Sound Output" at DVDPlayer's preferences is just fine - it refers to the output that has been selected at System Preferences - Sound
    No sound from USB speakers when booting is o.k., too: At this point those drivers that are needed haven't loaded yet.

  • DVD player not recognized suddenly

    Premiere 2 does not recognize the dvd player that I am using w/o a problem for many years. Who can help??  Thanks

    Does Windows Explorer aka File Manager still "see" the DVD drive?
    If yes, what other software have you installed?

  • DVD player not recognized

    I have a Plextor PX712UF dvd external. I have in plugged into a usb port and the device is on. When I check system preferences, it is not recognized. Any ideas

    Did you check the System Preferences or System Profiler. If you did not check System Profiler do it now and hopefully it'll appear under USB. if it doesn't, try power cycling everything, otherwise, try a different USB port.
    If you Plextor bus-powered or A/C powered?

  • DVD Drive not recognized by computer? Help!

    Hi everybody,
    please take time to read this. I have my laptop for 2 years right now, and it always worked fine. I use this disk of Roller Coaster Tycoon, because I'm still enjoying the game. The game requires the disk to stay inserted every time I want to play it. 
    All worked fine. Then, one year ago, the drive showed up but the Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum icon (which would replace the drive, since it's inserted)
    DID NOT show up. I tried some things, and I got it fixed with deleting the 'Upperfilters' and 'Lowerfilters' in some place in the system. Rebooted and worked again like a charm.
    But THEN, one week ago, the same thing happened. The panda icon was gone and I only saw the DVD station. I tried the SAME thing, but this time it did not work.  Upperfilter was there, but after deleting, nothing was fixed. I really
    need help, I tried several things but I think only you guys can help me out.
    So I suggest that the problem is that the computer cannot recognize any disk I would insert. The disk works on other computers though. So it's definitely not the disk's problem.
    Please, I really really need you guys' help.
    Sincerely, Boris.

  • DVD Drive not recognized by Computer

    Hi,
    I rebooted my computer the other day and realized my DVD drive is not listed in the devices shown under "my computer".  Under the device manager it has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.  The driver is current and loaded.  I tried shutting down and restarting to no avail.  Then... I uninstalled the device and now I can't find it anywhere.  Can anyone help me with this please?
    Thanks,
    Wayne

  • DVD Player not recognized by iDVD '08?

    I made a slideshow in iDVD and tried to burn it onto a DVD.
    iDVD informed me that my Intel iMac did NOT have a 'Superdrive' and could therefore not burn it.
    Strange: this Intel iMac does indeed have a DVD-burning 'Superdrive'.
    What gives?

    This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
    You'll need to reset some Preferences.
    Can you create a disk image?

  • HP external USB DVD Drive not recognized by computer.

    Have HP Mini-210 and HP external USB DVD Drive.  When attached, the DVD drive lights and spins but computor will not recognize it.  When checking Device Manager, it says no driver for DVD drive..  I try to reinstall the driver, and then it says I have the best one already.  Device Manager continues to indicate that this drive has a problem.  Tried to download a driver from HP support and it was not available on line.   
    Copied install disk that came with drive thru dropbox cloud to move it onto the computor.  Was able to install the programs but still have no driver and unable to use DVD drive.

  • 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.

  • Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer?

    Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer? I tried everything, and I watched so many tutorials after not succeeding. I read in another forum that it is common. Please help. I have already used about 20 discs trying to figure out what is wrong.

  • IPOD Shuffle not recognized by computer, and caused a  USB power surge

    Device is not recognized by computer, and I tried the listed support recommendations.
    The problem originated when I plugged the IPOD shuffle directly into the computer USB ( not using a hub), and this caused a warning window to appear saying unknown device has caused a power surge to this port, and most be removed. Prior to this event, the IPOD shuffle has worked (with direct contact with computer usb or through a powered highspeed usb hub) without issue for nearly 1 year. Any taker's on this issue? Thanks.

    Hi JBR,
    Go to your control panel and click on Install/Uninstall programs. Scroll down and see if you have multiple versions of the ipod updater installed on your computer. If you do, then uninstall both versions. Reboot your computer.
    Next, go to the downloads page and download/install the 1-10-2006 ipod updater. Once installed, go to your start programs and select ipod updater from there. Plug in your ipod and wait a moment. If it's like mine, it'll recognize your ipod and then you can do a "restore" for a clean format.
    After that, open itunes and life should be good.
    Hope this helps!
