G60, DVD won't run

Hello.
I have a new G 60 with Windows 7. When I popped in my Netflix DVD, the program runs, loads, then spits my DVD back out.
What's up with that?
Thanks!

Have you tried other DVD's? What exact model of G60 do you have?

  • DVD won't run...why?

    I have an iBook running 10.4.3. when i put in a dvd, i hear it spin up but nothing happens. it doesn't launch and it doesn't even show up in the finder. when i put the same dvd into my powerbook running leopard, it launches and runs perfectly. why won't it launch on my ibook?
    thank you!

    The application may have a corrupt folder somewhere. I would go to Apple's site and see of re-downloading it. You can rid yourself of the old one by following its path via Spotlight, or with the assistance of a tool such as TinkerTool, OnyX. Also, they can be found at Apple downloads. It's worth a try.

  • HP System Recovery DVD Won't Run

    Hi.  I currently use an HP Pavilion DM4, 3090se, which runs Winows 7.  I went to turn on my computer last week and instead of starting normally, got the Windows Boot Manager screen stating that Windows failed to start.  To fix the problem it says that I must insert the Windows installation disc and restart to repair the computer.
    I did not have any Windows installation discs so I ordered the System Recovery DVD's from the HP Support Site.  I've inserted the first disc and started up my computer only to get the Windows Boot Manager again upon start up.  Inserting the Recovery DVD's seems to have no effect.  I tried inserting the second disk and the Application and Driver Recovery DVD to see if anything different happened but that was to no avail.
    I did not have any issues with my computer prior to this happening and do not know what the cause may be.  I am hoping for some insight on what I can do to resolve this before I have to just send my computer in to HP.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    You're more than welcome
    In case the problem is with the notebook reading the installation disc, here's another possible option you could try as detailed below.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create Windows 7 installation Flash Drive yourself using another PC.  Download the Image file on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder - the Windows 7 image source is Digital River ).  You'll need a usb flash drive that is at least 4Gb.
    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit.
    Once downloaded, use an application such as Rufus to create a Windows 7 bootable usb flash drive.
    When created, tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Insert the Windows 7 flash drive.  Select the Boot Options menu ( f9 ).  Use the arrow keys to highlight the flash drive and hit enter.
    During the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • DVD won't run in Windows

    I have a Phillips DVD on which I saved some photographs some years ago and I now need to use them but the DVD is not recognised by my Desktop (Windows 7) or my Laptop (Windows 8).   Any suggestions, please?

    Did you check it on other system ?

  • Can't install Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro - DVD won't mount

    I am unable to install Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro as the DVD won't mount.  This is an early 2008 vintage MacBook Pro, intel core duo...
    I'm using a OS X Snow Leopard install DVD (family licensed).  This DVD has been used to install 3 other Macs in my house without a problem (about a year ago), but cannot be used to upgrade my MBP.  Actually, this disk mounted on the MBP exactly once - inserted with system up, the disk mounted.  Upon running the installed (a year ago), the computer restarted but hung in boot.  After getting the disk ejected and the computer restarted, the disk would never mount again.  I've defered upgrade for a year but at this point need to upgrade my MBP at least to Snow Leopard and possibly Lion.
    The problem doesn't seem to be with the DVD, since it continues to mount fine in other computers, and in fact a borrowed Snow Leopard DVD also will not mount on the MBP.
    BUT ... the problem also does not seem to be with the optical drive in my computer, as it can read & mount the install/restore disks that came with the computer as well as other CDs and DVD ROMs.  Only the Snow Leopard install DVDs fail to mount.
    I've also tried mounting the 10.6 install DVD on my Mac Pro desktop, making it available over the network (ethernet) with DVD/CD sharing.  I can mount the remote disk from my MBP that way, but when I launch the installer, the application launches (its own menus are displayed, I can quit from menu, for example) but does nothing -- no windows open, nothing.
    I've also tried "Remote Install" (again with the DVD made available with the Remote Install MacOS X application on my desktop), but when I boot the MBP with option held down, the remote disk is not available as a startup disk.
    Zapping the PRAM did not help.
    Am off to the store to get an optical drive cleaning kit and a blank DVD big enough to burn a new disk image, but would appreciate any further ideas at this point....

    Solution that worked: Copy the Install DVD to a USB flash drive and boot from that.

  • CS3 installs but won't run

    Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
    My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
    When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
    I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
    I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
    I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
    I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
    The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
    We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
    So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
    errrrr
    Anybody have any clues on this?

    Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
    I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
    And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
    Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
    Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
    Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
    Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
    I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
    The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
    I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
    They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
    The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
    The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
    Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
    And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
    Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
    Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
    Not sure what my next move is.

  • TA48312 where can I download iTunes 10.1 - my iPhone 3G won't run on iTunes9.2.1? I'm running PowerBkG4 & OS 10.4.11. Thanks Sean

    Think this is not right somehow but I'm trying to sync an old iPhone 3G with this PBkG4 running iTunes 9 but it refuses and tells me I need iTunes 10.1 or higher. I can;t find this to download. Can anyone help?

    iTunes 10.1 won't run on Mac OS X 10.4. You must buy Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD to use that iPhone with a G4 or G5 Mac; places such as Amazon sell it.
    As iTunes 10.1 won't run on any configuration which iTunes 10.5.3 won't run on, Apple no longer makes it available to the public.

  • IMac 2008 OS10.9.1 external dvd won't play movie DVD's

    iMac 2008 OS10.9.1 external dvd won't play movie DVD's. Other DVD/CD's are recognized.
    My internal DVD/CD p-layer/burner stopped working 3 years ago like many other iMacs did.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is all red because I am ******!

    I have discovered, no thanks to Samsung techs, what the problem is, and it might be revealing for others, as well. It seems that DVD Player, which is the app Apple provides in OS x for (naturally) playing videos, doesn't work with external drives if the computer has an internal drive – even when, as in my case, the internal drive is dead.
    I have learned, however, of the existence of a couple of alternative, free applications that run video and audio disks with external optical drives, and one of them, at least (VLC), seems to be widely acclaimed. Does anyone know whether bypassing DVD Player could be a bad idea? There were some gripes from one or two reviewers about awkwardness with playing audio DVDs with iTunes, but I'm not sure what they meant when they said that you have to click on individual items in a selection. Would that mean, for example, having to click on each movement of a Mozart trio? That I couldn't play an entire album's contents of another kind of music without clicking on each song?
    Getting the internal optical drive replaced would be prohibitive, even if the parts could be obtained, so I guess I'm stuck trying to deal with the external drive I have and finding the best replacement for DVD Player that I can find. The interesting thing is that the drive works beautifully with a MacBook Air I tried it with, so I guess that is because the Air doesn't have an internal drive?
    Wouldn't you think that Samsung techs would know all this? The one I spoke to told me to make sure that my system preference for CDs and DVDs was set to open automatically with DVD Player and sent me all kinds of FAQs, plus a way to get an RMA number for a return. Not a word about difficulties with Macs having an existing internal drive. And all after spending a very long time talking with me about what was going on, what the error message was, and so on. I guess the message hasn't gotten to them.
    I hope this information will be helpful to someone.

  • I am trying to update my mac to os x snow leopard but the cd won't run on my computer

    I am trying to update my mac to os x snow leopard but the cd won't run on my computer. I'm using an external dvd hardrive but I don't see why that would make a difference in wether or not it runs.

    Well, that may be the cause of the no install problem, as Snow Leopard does require at least 1gB of RAM. The Apple link below will show how it is installed.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651#link3
    The link below is for a highly recommended site to purchase additional RAM.

  • Tech Tool Deluxe DVD won't boot with 10.5.6. How to fix volume structure?

    Is it just my newbieness, or is the Tech Tool Deluxe 3.1.2 DVD image not bootable with late 2008 MBP with OS X 10.5.6?
    I installed Tech Tool Deluxe 3.1.2 to Leopard 10.5.6. - ran it and it said I have problems with my volume structures. I followed the download button, gave my serial and downloaded the TTD.dmg image, burned it to DVD with Disk Utility (seems OK, as I can read the disk in OS).
    When I try to boot from the DVD, it just reboots in a while to my OS X (tried with c and opt buttons during start-up. I can choose to boot from DVD with opt, but again it just reboots in a while).
    Apple mentions that this version of TTD is not compatible with Late 2008 models - is booting one of the incompatibilities? If so, fine, but how can I fix my volume structure problems now, that tend to hang my Mac every once in while with big disk operations?
    Thanks for any possible help.

    I had the same problem myself. The TechTool bootable products on DVD won't startup an October 2008 release MacBook or MacBook Pro.
    From the Micromat website:
    Our current bootable products support all PowerPC and Intel Macintosh computers capable
    of running Mac OS X 10.5 or greater, except for:
    • MacBook (October 2008 Release)
    • MacBook Pro (October 2008 Release)

  • My PlextorPX-708A won't run in DMA mode

    My PlextorPX-708A won't run in DMA mode I've tried reinstalling it and this was also a fresh install of winXP with Service Pack1a, my other dvd dive which is made by shuttle and is older will run in DMA mode and PIO mode but the plextor DVd writer won't and when I use it in PIO mode music and videos play slow in it what is the problem, I have a MSI K7N2 Delta mobo and the two drives are hooked on the secondary IDE channel and I tried swapping both drives to slave or master What is the problem
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi,
    Bobby: When you are booting and the machine detects your HD's and CD-ROM's sometimes the firmware version is shown along with the drive's ID details, press "Pause" on the keyboard if you don't get time to read it!
    Another way is to go Start>Settings>Control Panel> Double-click "System" then "Hardware" tab - then click "Device Manager" look for "DVD/CD-ROM Drives" in the list of hardware and then click on "+" on the left hand side - your CD-ROM drives should now be listed - right-click on the drive you want the info on, then down the menu to "Properties" then click on the "Details" tab - this should show you  the "Device ID" and hopefully the firmware version. (my apologies for writing this step-by-step guide but I though I'd include it just in case)  
    Or another way is explained on Plextor's site here:

  • What won't run in Rosetta?

    Hi,
    What type of Apps will not run in Rosetta?
    Michael

    For one, Apple's own Pro software will not run on these computers, despite the fact that they are using Final Cut Pro as a benchmark on the iMac/MacBook product pages. Final Cut Pro or Express, DVD Studio Pro, Logic, Logic Express, Aperture... you'll have to wait until the Universal Binaries come out (supposedly in March), and then you'll have to pay to "upgrade."
    I can't believe they are using benchmarks from pieces of software that won't run on these machines (yet) to sell them. Someone who didn't do his research would think these machines would be great for Final Cut, only to find out they don't run them, period.

    Hi Dan
    Well first off, it's most often a DVD, does your drive read DVDs? Second, as your drive is working okay then you have to suspect a fauty disc. Can you try it in another machine? Or else return it.
