G5 can't read burnt Apple DVD's

My G5 seems to be having trouble reading burnt DVD's, made by Apple. I tried them on my TiBook, and they load fine, but on the G5, the computer seems to try, and then just spits them out.
Any Help would be greatly appriciated.
-Kabren

I think the fastest method to get the data off the DVDs is to mount them in your TiBook and set up a network between it and the G5.
At this time, I'm not sure of what to suggest next. I'll keep thinking, though.

    Can I use my Apple DVD player with USB connector with my new iPad?

    No, the iPad won't recognise it. If you are wanting to copy content to the iPad then you will need to copy it to your computer first, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

    Quote from: eftos
    In control panel the Primary Ide chanel (the hard-disk) is working in UDMA mode 6, and the secondary Ide chanel (the DVDRW) is working in UDMA mode 4.
    When i want to burn any CD or DVD with Nero, Roxio or anything else, i have this nice message :
    DMA driver error. CRC error. Burn failled.
    Solved !
    I change the IDE cable with one of 80 wires.
    This is MAGIC !!!
    The 80-conductor cable was first defined with the original Ultra DMA modes 0, 1 and 2, covering transfer speeds up to 33.3 MB/s.
    The cable is considered "optional" for those modes.
    However, for any Ultra DMA modes above mode 2, the 80-conductor cable is mandatory.
    cheers

  • Can anyone read this Apple crash report?

    Hi everyone!
    My iMac's been absolutely fine since I bought it. The Lion upgrade was smooth. I upgraded on the first day Lion became available.
    In the past week, I keep getting every other day a progressive gray screen and a warning that the computer needs to restart. I've no idea what's causing the crash... it happens when I have the standard suite of apps running (Mail, iTunes, Safari, etc) so no exotic application.
    Here's a crash report. Can anyone read this and pin point the problem?
    Thanks!

  • Help, I can't read or write DVDs

    I bought a Mac Pro 2.66 2 weeks ago and I just tried burning a DVD. It turns out my Sony D150A can't recognize any of my (ironically) blank Sony DVD-R discs. Not only doesn't it recognize blank media, but it also doesn't recognize any DVDs burned with my MDD G4. DVDs burned with my MDD G4 work fine in both it and my Powerbook G4 titanium.
    I've read several posts about people having trouble with their SONY D150's. I tried setting the finder preference to open DVDs in the finder as someone suggested. Well, when I do that it shows up as a blank CDR - not a DVD! I also tried another person's suggestion and zapped the PRAM. It didn't work.
    Has anyone come up with a solution for this problem yet?
    Mac Pro 2.66Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   3GB RAM, ATI x1900

    Hey All, just an update and a fix for my problem.
    I took my MacPro to an Apple Store, and he tried some of the DVD's I was having trouble with on some of the Mac Pros in the store. All the Mac Pros with Sony DVD drives had the same problem I was experiencing. One of the Mac Pros in the store had the Pioneer DVR-111D drive and the discs read just fine! They also read fine on one of the store's macbooks.
    The Macgenius there suggested I contact Apple Care and specifically request a Pioneer DVD drive to replace my Sony. I did that, and Apple sent me another Sony drive! So I called Apple Care back and explained my problem yet again. They claimed they can't request a replacement part by a certain manufacturer, only the part itself.
    Given the Pioneer DVD drive worked for me at the Apple Store, I went to newegg.com and purchased the same drive (Pioneer DVR-111D) from them and everything works perfectly. And as the previous poster said, burning is fully supported with this drive.
    So, if you are having trouble with your Sony DVD drive, this is a reasonable solution. The drive only cost $33.00 and it came in three days.
    I hope this is useful to someone!
    Cheers!

  • Can't read and play DVD

    I have got a DVD with Quick Time files (MPG) but it can't be played using the QuikTime Player. What can be wrong ??

    VLC is good, but mplayer osx extended also works too; if you need another option. It's the unofficial mplayer, but works better imo.
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/28298/mplayer-osx-extended
    OR, if you really need to use quicktime, install perian component.

  • Can iMac read Dual Layer DVD+R???

    If I use Toast to backup my G5 tower data onto a Dual Layer DVD+R disc, will my iMac Flat Panel be able to read it? I've heard that some older drives can't recognize the Dual Layer DVD+Rs.
    Anyone tried a home made dual layer disc on this model iMac yet?

    These are the formats supported in the iMac G4.

  • Satellite A60: Can't read self-created DVDs

    All,
    I have a Satellite A60 with UJDA760 CDRW/DVD drive.
    The drive won't read DVDs (DVD+R not at all, DVD-R sometimes (if the drive is cold(?!?))).
    Can this be a firmware problem? And if so, does anyone know, where I can find a firmware update for this drive? (I tried the firmware-na.zip pack from the Toshiba web site, but an update for the drive is not available)
    The drive reads CDs without problems.
    Thanks for any comments!
    Wutz

    Hello,
    Here is the Firmware update for your A60. I hope this helps to resolve any issues you have. A tip is to make sure that you do not create multisession DVD's. This can render them non-readable. It is a good idea to close all DVD's after you burn them so this does not occur. I hope this fixes any problems you happen to have.

  • Qosmio G20: Can't read Roco brand DVD+RW disc

    I have Roco brand 8x DVR+R and the Q G20 wont recognize the disc. I think it may be due to the Brand Roco since the Sony DVD+RW works fine except I cant save the video from the Sony to my HD.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have solved this problem using Sonic Record Now!
    I was able to copy my DVD using the Sonic Record Now that came with my Qosmio G20 to a Roco Brand DVD +RW. Once I made a copy of the orignal DVD, it did not work until I closed the Record Now and opened my media player. I could open using Real, Windows Media Player and WinDVD. None of these programs could read the DVD prior to recording and they could not format the disc.
    Thanks

  • Mac can't read Mac burned DVD but a PC can. Why?

    Need a bit of help, I have an archive DVD that was burned a couple of months ago. After the burn I checked to make sure all files were readable. ejected it and popped it back in and had no problems.
    This morning popped it in and it wont mount. This was a working DVD a couple months ago. It has no scratches or finger prints.
    It will not mount on any macs.
    MacBook Pro
    Mac Pro
    G4
    G5
    imac and so on
    here is the kicker, it WILL mount on a PC.
    any thoughts or suggestions?

    Had the same trouble a few weeks ago. Try repairing Permissions on your System drive with Disk Utility and restarting. That solved the problem for me.

  • Why is my imac crashing, can anyone read this apple crash report?

  • My macbook pro can't read a dvd-r double layer

    Hi everyone!
    I have a Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15 inches (mid-2009, model identifier MacBookPro5,3) with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. I can't read a commercial DVD DL-R (as indicated on the DVD). The DVD player doesn't mount the DVD and reject it after about a minute. All my other DVDs play fine on my computer and the problematic DVD plays on the more recent (about a year old) MacBook Pro of my wife. When looking at the properties of the DVD player via System Information, it says it should be able to play the DVD.
    Any idea what the problem/solution could be? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi m,
    SuperDrives are notoriously picky eaters. It may just be that brand or even that one disc won't play in that particular drive, or, it may be the drive needs cleaning.
    You could purchase a CD/DVD drive cleaning kit, or you can try with materials you may already have on hand. Use a credit card, or something similar, and wrap it with an LCD cleaning cloth type product (basically a thin micro-fiber type cloth). Gently slide the "cleaner" in and out a few times in the left side of the optical drive opening. Make sure you can hold onto the cloth so it doesn't get stuck inside the drive. This cleans the lens, which may be all you need.
