Macbook pro external DVD drive initialization error 70012

This is an answer to my own question and a comment about finding answers to questions on Apple forums.
The situation
I have a Macbook Pro, late-2009 model. In 2013, the internal DVD or optical drive died. I purchased an Apple external DVD drive to be able to read DVD disks, listen to audio, and watch video content. Because the computer I own was built to read only the internal DVD drive, it did not recognize this new external drive. When I plugged it in, I received an error: A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]. Or , or DVD could not be found, initialization error[- 70012].
The question
Given this situation, my question was, how do I solve DVD initialization error 70012?
The answer
Since my Apple Care plan had long since expired, before spending time and money at the Apple store to solve this, I decided to look online. After searching general sites and more and more specific sites, I found several posts on forums about my problem. The most helpful of these, with respect to an external DVD drive, was posted on CNET, by Topher Kessler (June 10, 2011 2:24 PM PDT):
http://www.cnet.com/news/addressing-dvd-player-error-70012-when-using-external-d rives-in-os-x/
The key to his advice was twofold:
1. Hardware: The Macbook Pro was programmed to recognize the internal DVD/optical drive alone.
2. Software: The preferences in the Macbook Pro were set to open Apple's DVD Player when a disc is inserted into the drive.
To play audio or video discs on an external drive, the computer needed to be instructed to recognize the external drive, plus appropriate software needed to be opened. Mr. Kessler's advice went from hardware (i.e., get a new internal drive), to software (i.e., use different audio or video software), to operating system (i.e., alter the code in the operating system). Like with Goldie Locks, the first was too expensive, the last was too invasive, but the middle option was just right.
I searched for free software to display audio and video on my external drive and found two that could do the job quite nicely. There are others, but these seemed to be the most recognized and highly rated:
1. MPlayerX (http://mplayerx.org/download.html)
2. VLC Media Player (http://download.cnet.com/mac/media-players/?rpp=30)
So, I didn't have to buy an internal DVD drive and I didn't have to alter the code of the operating system. I just needed to download free software, install, and play.
The points to learn
1. Computers involve both hardware and software, therefore solutions to computer problems can require fixes to one, the other, or both.
2. The simplest solution, and the least expensive, is to be preferred over the more complex.
3. What went wrong for someone else is not necessarily what happened to your computer or software.
4. What solved someone else's problem may not solve your problem.
5. Just because nobody has posted information on how to solve your problem doesn't mean there isn't a solution to it.

Hi Duane,
Thanks for the info! That's some catch-22 for DVD Player... but useful info. I guess I'll just pick up a generic DVD-ROM to replace the drive with.
As to the external drive, do not USB 2.0 cases run at the same speeds at Firewire 400 cases? (the same drive has no issues on other machines for playing dvds... just the lampshade iMac)

A valid DVD drive not found (error -70012)

Hi.
I get this message when I try to insert a DVD or start the DVD Player app:
'The was an initialization error: A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]'
It won't allow DVD to be insert, they just kind of hit a buffer. There seems to be no power to the DVD drive.
Just happened one day.
Macbook Pro running 10.6.8
Any ideas?
I'd try to get an appt at an Apple Store near me but they are all booked up!!
Thanks

I can only think of two possible reasons. 1. The optical drive is dead. 2. The DVD you put in for some reason went in at an incorrect angle, and jammed something in the drive mechanism.
If you buy this reasoning, you could try to wiggle the DVD. I would use the edge of another cd, inserted about half an inch (one cm) till it touches the one inside, and see if you can get some movement up and down of the one inside.
Needless to say you would be doing this at the risk of further damaging the optical drive as well as the DVD.

Read Encoder Position Error -70012

I am using the "Read Encoder Position" and I keep getting error #-70012. There are no errors up to this point and it does not SEEM to affect the way my program runs. Does anyone know what this error is?
I did try to look up the error # to no avail.
Thanks.

Created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player. i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read

created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player. i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read. I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd. Any suggestions. I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???

There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video. I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player. The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.
I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project. But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu?
When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options. It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.). You need software that will made a DVD-V disc. Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn.

Initialization error [-70012] in Mavericks

Have a MBP 15”, Early 2011 with a 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, 1 TB 72000 rpm HD fused with a 120 GB SSD, running OS X 10.9.1 (12B42) the original CD/DVD SuperDrive is removed for the SSD, but installed into an USB case and connected external via USB.
After installing the SSD and fuse it with the HD, the original, now the external CD/DVD SuperDrive, via USB connected, worked fine under Mountain Lion but now, since upgraded to Mavericks, OS X 10.0.1, it works only with CD’s and even opens DVD’s but the DVD Player does not work at all (initialization error [-70012]) and prevents to watch any DVD movie.
I researched the Apple discussions boards and others but found not any helpful solution. There are not any DVD or iDVD files on my system. Checked visible as well as invisible files and documents. The Terminal also indicates that there is no such CD or DVD (iDVD) “No such file or directory”.
However, the System Profiler shows clearly that there is a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-8A8: connected with “ Firmware Revision: HB14 / Interconnect: USB / Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive) / Cache: 1024 KB / Reads DVD: Yes / CD-Write: -R, -RW/ DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW / Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO.”
Resetting NVRAM/PRAM did not resolve the issue either. Tried to use 0xED Editor but the command at the “DVDPlayback.framework: /System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A”, brought no indicators of “Internal” or the equivalent hex code. Any smart individual out there, which can help, step by step to get the DVD Player working?
Thank you.

Logical or not, and that is your opinion, it is how it works and doesn't work. Sorry but the built in DVD Player App only works with the Superdrive installed inside the system.
Maybe you applied the HACK in Mt Lion, and don't recall you did it, and when you upgraded to Mavericks is got overwritten.
Been like that for years with many different versions of OS X and DVD Player App.
If the Superdriove is installed inside the system you can use the DVD Player App with another DVD drive connected by USB but the Superdrive must be installed inside the case, and or connected to the secondary SATA connector.

[SOLVED]error: attempt to read or write outside of partition

Hello, I update my system at least once a week, sometimes I run pacman -Syu more than that. So this system is no more than about 7 days behind what is available today. Last time I did this the kernel got updated and it updated itself again or at least it just ran mkinitcpio, also my passwd and group changed, anything that was not represented in the pacnew version got a representation, this last one mainly featured a lot of changes to "/usr/bin/nologin" from the login false version, whatever it was, nothing that looks too fussy.
Reboot just to see what will happen and I am greeted with this:
Booting `Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel'
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
error: attempt to read or write outside of partition
Loading initial ramdisk ...
unaligned pointer 0x1d
Aborted. Press any key to exit.
I happen to have a usb drive that has Arch Linux 3.11.6.-1-ARCH, so I put that in and get an environment I can work with. Chroot in and so I can run mkinitcpio -p linux, thinking that that is the problem, some error in the kernel, I actually end up using the command
# /usr/lib/modules
, since
# mkinicpio -p linux
won't run, it gives:
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.present: 'default'
-> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.config -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img

hexdump: /boot/vmlinuz-linux: Input/output error
==> ERROR: invalid kernel specified: '/boot/vmlinuz-linux'
However,
# mkinitcpio -g /boot/linux.img -k 3.14.6-1-ARCH
will. Everything finishes with a success, exit out, reboot and bam, same message, so it is not the kernel at least not on its own. Here is what my fstab looks like:

arch_grub, whatever that was, went away. Pull out of arch-chroot, unmount sdaXs, reboot and:

A reboot and removal of all data written in /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3/boot sectors reveals:

Boot Camp - External DVD Reader (Mac Compatible)

To all,
I am not able to get Boot Camp to load vista from the external CD-ROM since the internal one is totaly disconnected. It does nothing. It spins the CD when it restarts then continues on to loading the login screen.
Bare with me - this is the fun part -
I got a 24" white iMac. CD-ROM was stuck and refused to take in new CD's. Took it to Apple, they replaced it. I bring it back home 2 days later and the screen is dented. They fix that in 4 days. Now I am finally able to start installing Vista.
Put the CD in - nothing happens - it kicks it out!!!! Well - its brand new - its even a different brand than what was in there before.
I take it back to apple, i give the lady all the **** in the world because this is not supposed to happen, etc.
They decide to give me a new iMac. While I am waiting, the manager approaches me and give me the 13 cents which were found in the cd-rom drive (thanks to my kids)
So I appologize - totaly ignored her wanting $450 to replace it, so I went and bought a Sony external DVD reader, burner.
-- Problem --
Boot Camp, Front Row + the DVD player software won't work off the external drive.
I took the mac appart - disconnected the dvd-drive from the motherboard thinking that if its not there, then boot camp will attempt to run off the external drive.
Put it back together - and rebooted - everything came up fine until using front row or the dvd player.
Boot Camp still won't read the external drive - no errors nothing - it attempts then quits and moves to the login screen.
Guys - I need help - i make my living off Windows so not having access to it - its killing me.
Please do not recommend parallels or anything else like it.
I am willing to try anything at this point. Before I go and spend $450 i will rather buy a new machine.
HELP!!! Anyone Please!!!!

I doubt there is any way to get the external to work with the Windows install. It's magic that the internal works! However, since you are not afraid to rip the iMac apart, a Google of 'imac internal dvd drive' shows that you can get a replacement for well under $450.

Error burning DVD: Access failed

When trying to burn a project to DVD in Premiere Elements 9, I get an error message that reads "Access failed: Unable to access location Sequence 01\ for creating temporary burning files." I assume I need to change something either in Premiere Elements or on my PC but I don't know what. Any recommendations?

OK, that shows that there is some problem with your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's. Could be as simple as just some permissions, etc., in the OS, or could well be something else.
Can you list the full details of your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type, amount of free-space on each, and how you have them allocated?
Also, what is your OS? If Windows, please let us know the version and also whether it's 32-bit, or 64-bit.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why am i getting an error 70012 on my iMac?

Does anybody have a solution to an dvd player error -70012?

valid DVD drive could not be found...: Apple Support Communities

Help needed.. Changed HD, 'broken' DVD reader, working recovery disks.. how to?

Hello all, hope someone can help me here. I have a Toshiba Satellite p300-19f, win vista 32 in dotation.
Long story short, the computer has served me well for roughly 3 years now. All at a sudden, on startup when on windows charging page (with win logo and green counter going up), it started freezing.
I tried recovering last working win configuration, I tried recovering precedent backup points, at times I solved until the problem randomly showed up again (same identical problem), so ultimately I formatted and re-installed fresh vanilla version from recovery partition succesfully. Problem went away, until it came back. (all of this in 1 month time span)
It worked ok for a couple weeks, and started giving the same problem again. Ultimately I figured out (I immagine) that the hard drive must have some problems, as this freezing on windows startup (immediately distinguishable as the cpu stops working / the light in front stops twinkling) occured basically randomly, regardless of software installed in the pc, or time since last format.
I decided to change the hard drive, but obviously have the problem of the new operating system. My dvd burner is broken, or at least does not work reliably. I got an external sony burner and through the toshiba disk creator applet made the recovery disks (2 DVDs) successfully.
I changed the hard drive, tried to reboot and reistall using in laptop dvd, when it gets to copy the first big file it gives a CRC error, an aborts the whole thing (sending me to a prompt of commands though.. where I copied the whole content of the DVDs on the just made HDDrecovery folder in v: through the recognized usb external burner, but the computer failed to recognize on later startups).So I tried to boot it up with the recovery disks in the external burner (bios DOES support USB boot), the disks are read, the toshiba applet for recovery is started, and as soon as it gets to the dos-like windows it freezes on "check for medium in drive".
I have the recovery disks, I have a half working dvd reader in the pc that gives errors when copying the big files and aborts installation. I have an external dvd reader that is recognized at boot, starts the installation, but fails to find "the medium"...
I hope I have explained my problem more or less.. what can I do (apart from buying a new working dvd reader for the computer) ?
If there are specific info I need to give on hardware/software, please let me know.
Thanks,

Project duration error requiring DVD+RDL disc

When going to burn a project, I encountered a project duration error. It read: "Your project is too large for a single-layer disc. Insert a double-layer disc." So I ran out and picked up a stack of DVD+RDLs, came back, and popped one into my SuperDrive. Alas, I am still receiving the same error message. Ideas anyone? (The DVD+RDLs are the Memorex brand.)

Did you tell iDvd you are now using DL Media as opposed to SL? (This is one item the app doesn't yet detect on it's own).
Btw .... if you are still having issues even after addressing the correct settings, then you may wish to consider trying Verbatim or Maxell as opposed to Memorex. The 2 former brands are a bit more reliable on most macs than Memorex.

Error reinstalling DVD iLife

Error reinstalling DVD applicazioni iLife alfter reinstallando osx snow Leopard on iMac Intel i5.
Watt can i do?
Thank you

Hi Frank,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Error: Unable to read footer file

Hoping someone out there can help me. I get this error on
everypage in my site and have no idea how to stop it.
Error: Unable to read footer file
The error does not show up when I preview inside dreamweaver
but only rears its ugly head after I post the site up on the
internet. I have searched for hours through the Dreamweaver menus
and can not find these elusive footers and have no idea where they
are coming from or what footer file it is trying to read.. Please
help. This probably has a simple solution and I am just not able to
understand it. Thank you.

Possibly, but without a URL we can't comment. Post it, and
we'll see.
At a guess, sounds like an include file is missing. Are you
on some sort of
free hosting plan where the host puts some adverts in the
footer? If that
file is removed from your site directory you might get the
error you've
mentioned (at least, that was the case on the only other time
I've seen this
error)

This technique should work...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
