The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) When I check to insure I have the latest software, I get the message that my software is current. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but without sucess.

Hi drhdrh,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your configuration. If you are using an external SuperDrive with your MacBook Air, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Dvd/cd will not operate

    dvd/cd will not operate.  operating lion os.

    What happens when you put an optical disk in the drive? Does it fail to go in, or does it go in and then get ejected? Please describe the actual failure.
    Best of luck.

  • Any DVD I rent from the red box or at the library my 27"iMac and my MacBook Pro will not operate.

    Any DVD I rent from the red box or at the library my 27"iMac and my MacBook Pro will not operate.  The Mac's take the DVD's and it sounds like it's trying to run the DVD.  After about 10 seconds the Mac just spits it out.  I am using the newest version of the Beta Yosemite OS X 10.10.3 Version.  I'm a little more than a novice user, just to keep in mind... Can anyone help me fix this problem?

    Aside from running the beta (and not being allowed to discuss anything at all about it anywhere including these forums), I have found that some commercial DVDs (and actually also music CDs) are coded such that they will not play in any device that could ostensibly be used to copy the content due to DRM/copyright issues. The DVDs played just fine in both of my DVD players hooked up to my TVs and the music CDs worked in my stereo system.
    Have you tried to play those in a regular DVD player?

  • DVD will not stop and start in a Menue Mode

    Hello I am using DVD Studio Pro 4 for a school project and i am looking for some help with this problem.
    The DVD i have created plays and stops when i am watching one of my video tracks, i just can not start the DVD when i am previewing in any menue after i stop it.
    I have created my DVD with 16 menus and 2 video tracks. It burns and plays back fine but i can not stop and start the DVD when i am in a menu mode. The DVD will stop and play when i stop the DVD playing video from one of my video tracks but when i am in menu i push stop on my DVD controller and the DVD will not start back up. The DVD will look like it wants to play but it will not play. I have to open the DVD player tray open in order for it to start the DVD again.
    The DVD is a NTSC, SD, single layered 2.9GB
    Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

    If only five months old it is still under warranty. Take it back.

  • DVD will not play on iMac in Bootcamp using Windows 8

    I am trying to play a DVD in Windows 8 being run with Bootcamp on my iMac (OSX 10.9). The DVD will not autoplay in Windows. You can see the DVD in the folder view, but can only access the Video_TS and Audio_TS files, not the actual playable DVD. Have tried playing it through the folder view as well as Windows Media also to no avail. Booted down Windows and into Mac OS, and the DVD autoplays just fine. How can I get it to play in Windows mode, as the software we are running for a certain program needs to be accessed constantly before and after the DVD needs to play?

    tried the vlc player it's free to download and works better then other players really

    I plugged my ipod into my computer to load up new tunes and it froaze on the time I dad connected it with the message 'do not disconnect' on the screen. Despite disconnecting and reconnecting it and ensuring it was charged up it will not operate. The 'lock' symbol is showing at the top of the screen even when I have moved the lock switch. I have been using my ipod for several years with no similar fault. What is the problem/solution?

    I would first try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to restore the iPod from backup

  • My cd and dvd will not play

    my cd and dvd will not play

    Ah, I'm sorry! I think I misunderstood your second post. Open the Start Menu and click "Computer." A window should open that shows the drives in your computer. Is one of the icons your DVD drive? What drive letter is it? Is the the D: drive?
    Put a disc in the computer. Tell me a little about the disc. Is it a CD or a DVD? Is it a retail version of something or is it a homemade, recorded disc? Is it computer data (such as an application, game, or documents), a music CD, or a movie?
    Once the disc is in the computer, right-click on the disc drive in the Computer window we opened and select "Open." What happens?

  • What can I do, if a DVD will not play?

    What can I do, if a DVD will not play?

    You don't want to change the player Region Code. If I remember correctly you can only change the Region Code three times and it sticks to the last Region Code you selected.
    Does the DVD play in another player?

  • DVD will not play on standalone.

    Ok so here's the deal. I imported my DVD using MpegStreamClip - this is a DVD previously built by me, but back in the days I used Pinnacle... which wasn't so long ago. I imported this DVD as .m2v and AIFF audio, and built a project in DVDSP 4. The simulations run fine and I have had no problems up until the point that I burn the DVD, and the DVD will not play on a standalone player.
    When outputting from DVDSP, do I need to Burn/Build/Format/Build&Format? Is it one of my settings that I need to change?
    I know this question has been asked before, but there seems to be no solution out there yet.

    I have an HVDVD_TS folder, but not the usual VIDEO_TS folder - could this be evidence of my problem?
    It's the smoking gun.
    Keep your m2v files.
    Take the aiff files and encode them in Compressor ac3/Dolby 2.
    Create a new project in DVD SP. Make certain the SD button is selected.
    Import ac3 and m2v assets and you are good to go.

  • DVD will not complete using FCP share

    I am trying to burn a DVD in FCPx. The audio and video files are created but the DVD will not finalize. The progerss bar sits at 95%. What should I do. I have been able to create DVD's in this way in the past.

    Can you try another project to see whether it is a project-specific problem? (You can choose HD as output device so you don't waste media.)
    How long is your movie and what is its format?

  • DVD will not eject

    A DVD in the slot-loading drive will not eject. My iBook reads the disk as it appears on my desktop and I can play the DVD. But as soon as I hit the eject key (F12), it makes a weird sound, like it's trying to eject, but the DVD will not eject. Can some one tell me what I can do? I have tried all the normal procedures, like holding the track pad while starting up, doing the Firmware thing at start-up, etc... All I get is the weird spinning sound, but no disk ejected. Please some one tell me what I need to do. Thank you in advance!

    When open firmware doesn't work, it sounds like a hardware problem with the ejector. I would take the machine into service and let them know you tried the open firmware method.
    In the future be sure to follow this link as far as the allowed optical media on slot loading drives:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58641
    And note that disks which have been written on by sharpie or other type of pen, or a sticky applied to them can cause the drive to age prematurely. Always buy media in jewelcases by known reliable vendors. For CD that's Verbatim, Kodak, Imation, and Sony. For DVD check http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia/

  • Blank 16x DVDs will not burn in internal DVD burner

    Hi
    Some blank 16x DVDs will not burn in the internal DVD burner on my iBook G4.
    My iBook tries to load the DVD-Rs but it spits the DVD out after 2 tries.
    Any reason why

    It could be just the brand you are using.

  • Dvd will not mount on my MacBook Pro

  • I-DVD created DVD will not play back on i-Mac 27"

    The i-DVD Tutorial says "When you have burned your DVD, you will have your own DVD that can be played in any DVD Player or any DVD-EQUIPPED COMPUTER"
    Unfortunately I do not find this to be so, and I would like to know why, please. The DVD created is in UDF form. It plays back perfectly in my Liteon Player via the TV. It will play on my Windows PC via either WMP or Nero, BUT IT WILL NOT PLAY on my i-Mac, neither by Quick Time nor DVD Player. I get the message "not in a form recognised." Goodness! It was created on the i-Mac, via i-DVD !!
    All my software is up-to-date of course.
    Can anyone tell me WHY?

    There are a variety of reasons why a burned DVD will not be recognized by a DVD player.
    I'm interested to hear you say that you burned the disk with iDVD and yet the disk does not playback on the same computer that created the disk. If you put a standard purchased video DVD into the computer does it playback? If it does not then I would focus your attention on the Computer / DVD drive itself and not iDVD.
    Things to try:
    1.) Make sure the DVD disks you are using are compatible with your computer's optical drive. If you use a disk that is not supported by your computer's SuperDrive you may get inconsistent burn results. You can find out what types and speeds of disks your computer supports by going here and looking for the "SuperDrive" section under your model of computer: http://support.apple.com/specs/
    2.) Older drives / players may not be able to read newer types of burnable media. Use DVD-R disks that list a lower speed. Burnable media comes with numbering on the original packaging that indicates the speed of the disk (Usually 1x,2x,3x, etc.). The lower the number the more compatible the disk will be with more DVD players.
    3.) Try different brands of media. I personally try to stick with media made by companies with a long history of making recordable media.
    4.) Lower the burn speed in iDVD:
    iDVD > Preferences > Advanced > Preferred DVD Burning Speed
    -- The lower the number you choose the more compatible the resulting disk will be with more DVD players. It will also increase the amount of time it takes to burn the disk.
    Hope that helps

  • CS4 DVD will not start

    I am running XP Pro with SP3 and all current patches. My dvd drive is a Plextor PX-760A. At first neither the CS4 application dvd nor the Learning dvd would start in my drive.
    Then I flashed the drive firmware from 1.04 to 1.07.
    This drive uses the windows drivers. Plextor does not supply drivers.
    After flashing the firmware the CS4 Learning dvd starts fine. I also found my CS3 dvd and it also starts fine.
    However, the CS4 application dvd will not spin up. The drive makes 2 faint beeps, tries to spin up the disk a few times and then gives up.
    Any suggestions on what I might try before calling Adobe and asking for a replacement disk?

    Success!
    A PC at the local library was able to spin up the Photoshop CS4 DVD. I then copied the files to an sdhc card via a USB card reader that I brought with me. Those files take a bit under 4GB.
    Back home I scanned the card for malware, copied the files to an empty partition on one of my drives and then installed.
    Installation was smooth, my serial # was accepted, and I have opened both Bridge and PS. I am good to go.
