Help, i cant burn dvds. I can watch a dvd or burn a cd but not a dvd
I have an intel 17 inch imac and a matshita dvd-r uj-85j. when I go to burn a dvd I get a “Untitled DVD” can’t be burned because the disc is read-only and can’t be modified (error code 0x80020042). But that is BS. Can you please help me?
Sorry if this is obvious, but reasons why the DVD might not burn include:
1. The DVD burning speed is at the maximum speed of the drive.
2. The DVD is of low quality. Never burn discs from anything other than Ritek, Taiyo, or Verbatim. Don't apply sticky labels to the DVD, and don't use markers. Buy DVDs that are stored in jewelcases, not spindles. Follow the standards set here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446
These issues are all platform independent.
3. The DVD was already burnt before (multi-session DVDs as far as I know are only possible for data DVDs, not movie DVDs, though double sided DVDs allow a burn on each side).
4. The capacity of the burn file is at the maximum of the capacity of the disk (try a smaller capacity).
5. The burning software is old. Make sure the version you are using is tested with your operating system version.

Can watch You Tube vidoes on Internet Explorer but not with Firefox. Why?
This problem has only cropped recently. I don't seem to be able to watch online vidoes - you tube & others - with Firefox (I have the latest version 32) anymore. They start loading & playing & then sit there trying to load but won't go any further. On the other hand, I can use my older version of Internet Explorer to watch the same videos not problem. The play smoothly without stopping & starting. They play as the load. What had changed with my Firefox please? How do I fix this? I am still using Windows XP so prefer not to use Internet Explorer anymore. I hope someone had a simple answer and I don't have heaps of time to trawl through all the questions & answers on the forum! Thanks in advance :)
Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Also, unrelated to Flash, the latest version of Firefox is version 33, you can update either by going to:
* Help (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > About Firefox
Or download a fresh copy at:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
* (if you need a different localization) https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

Help! hd dvd will play on computer but not in dvd player
i created a hd slideshow aprox 25jpg images at 1280x720. in dvdsp project preferences are set to hd dvd, slideshow is set to 1280x720p. i have one image set as a menu with one button to play the slideshow. the simulation works fine. the disc burns fine and will play in the computer but not in dvd player. i have tried 4 different players. i also tried setting the prefs to sd then reburn disc. also tried converting the slide show to a track with the smae result. the media im using is imation dvd-r.
any help would be greatly apreciated!HD discs will not play in SD players. Also changing the prefs to SD will not change an existing HD project to an SD project (you cannot go from HD to SD in a project, you need to recreate it as an SD, though you can change an SD to HD project)

I can import (RIP) my music CD's but not my DVD movies. Huh?
All I want is to be able to watch my DVD movies through iTunes/Apple TV on my HDTV. Is that so much to ask for? Apparently so. At least with iTunes (although from a quick Google there are "those we do not speak of" third-party apps that'll do the job). And yet oddly enough it's no problem importing my CD music collection. So what's the difference between the music industry and movie studios copy-right protection in this case and Apple's position?
I've wanted to import my DVD movies for a while but haven't gotten around to it. I thought it would be a simple process. Little did I know, and should have realized after an early try to play a DVD movie in iTunes and the fact that Apple TV would not allow it either (main reason I didn't purchase it when first released). But isn't that the point of it, to play movies? Before the advent of Apple TV and other movie download sites there were DVD's. Or have they forgotten this? It didn't make any sense except greed. That Apple and the movie studios want us to have to repurchase all of our DVD movie collections. But not music CD's?
It's my DVD movie. I paid for it. I own it. I should be able to copy it to my Mac for playback either from iTunes or Apple TV, more so since I no longer have a DVD player. That's the whole point of all this digital technology. All my music and movies,..etc in one place, transportable, streamable. Which brings me back full circle to my question; "Why can I import (rip) my CD music collection into iTunes but not my DVD movies? This is a contradiction.
< Edited by Host >I've wanted to import my DVD movies for a while but haven't gotten around to it. I thought it would be a simple process
It would be if the law didn't make it difficult and/or illegal.
So what's the difference between the music industry and movie studios copy-right protection in this case
CDs generally aren't copy protected. Commercial video DVDs are almost all copy protected.
and Apple's position?
Apple's position is that since breaking the copy protection is illegal, there's nothing they can to vis-a-vis iTunes and the Apple TV. If you want to read up on one company's attempts to come up with software that can import a DVD and the movie industry's reaction, read this:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2345931,00.asp
It's my DVD movie.
No, it's not. It's your physical DVD. It's not your movie.
I paid for it. I own it.
No, you don't. You own the physical DVD. You've purchased certain rights to use the content on the DVD.
I should be able to copy it to my Mac for playback either from iTunes or Apple TV, more so since I no longer have a DVD player.
Yes, you should. But the movie industry doesn't want you to do it and as such has gotten legislation written in the US and some other countries that prevent you from legally copying the DVD to any other medium. The answer the movie industry has come up with, though with only limited adoption thus far, is the "digital copy" included with some DVDs.
Bottom line, as has been said many times: US law makes it illegal to break the copy protection on any medium, be it CD, DVD or anything else.
Enough said. There's absolutely nothing Apple can do about this unless and until such time as the law is changed.

Let me know what other info you need.
Thanks for your help.Yes, the lowest possible Burn speed will be a step in the direction of compatibility.
As for the Quality setting, Robert Johnson has done tests on various versions of PE and has recommend a setting of about 7.8 (IIRC). Unlike Encore, where one has many more choices, PE limits one to a Quality setting of 8. This is about equivilent to the recommend 7MB/s in Encore. Robert found that just below the 8 max. actually yielded slightly better results, than did the full 8, on his tests.
The three things that help to insure the greatest compatibility with set-top players are, and in pretty much this order:
1.) Quality media - Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Falcon (US only)
2.) Burn speed (slower is better. It might take a few minutes more, but if it works, you don't have returns or have to do it again.)
3.) Bit-rate around 7MB/sec
Remember - no set-top player HAS to play any Burned DVD. Most do, but some just do not - only replicated, pressed discs. Also, some player are still sensitive to the -R and +R media types. This is less a problem with newer units, however it still could be an issue with many older ones.
Personally, I test a "master" on four different players, plus my computer, before I Burn a batch, or ship out any. One unit is a very high-end Marantz, another is a mid-level Marantz, one is an RCA "el cheapo" and the other is an older Pioneer. I figure if the disc plays everywhere, there is a good chance that it will play for the client - though there are still no guarantees.
Good luck,

Burned DVD plays OK on computer but not on DVD player through TV
Did all steps through iMovie to make a DVD. No apparent problems surfaced during the process. The DVDs play fine on the computer but not on DVD player through the television. Suggestions were that I was using the wrong media, that the best was DVD-R. Same problem regardless of which was used: it may play well into the DVD and have problems when selecting a chapter, a slideshow or it can happen between chapters. There's no pattern to when it will malfunction or how it will appear. It manifests itself by slowing, going to jerky play or stopping completely; these problems may or may not be the same on DVDs that are made back to back but there is always a problem of some sort. I redid the DVD without a slideshow but the problem persists. I really don't want to do it without chapters but haven't tried doing it that way.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

I suggest you try the disc on as many players as you
can get your hands on.
While it is good to have a player to test the final
disc on, you can't be sure that you're not facing the
quirks of just ONE player.
Of course this is no help if you only own ONE player.
The one that is your home DVD player. Many people on
these boards will reccomend the least expensive
player to use for testing. Often newer, less
expensive DVD players are more reliable than ones
that cost three times as much.
Have you had any success making DVDs in the past?
Very limited DVD making in the past but no problems such as this.
I really appreciate the responses so far and will look at all options. The DVD is quite full (an earlier response made note that this could be a problem) Since this is a church program that will be used on a vaiety of players, a disclaimer may be included explaining the possible problems.
Interesting that a lesser expensive unit could be more reliable... -

This is not something we can help you with in a public forum.
You'll either have to call Adobe Customer Service in your region, or use web chat. Here's link to web chat. Enter a product name and problem area. Ignore all the links except the one that says something like, "Still have a problem?" Click that, and you'll get a link to web chat:

Hello @ahmadhaseeb31,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how your notebook is not able to read DVDs, but can read CDs, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
In terms of the type of DVD that can be played on your computer, is it able to read DL (Dual Layered) or SL (Single Layered) discs? Do the DVDs that you have tried on your notebook work on a separate DVD player or another computer? I would also encourage you to post which operating system you are using; and whether your operating system is 32 or 64 bit. The more information you can provide, the better!
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Please re-post with the necessary information, this way I will be able to research this further for you. I look forward to your reply!
Cheers!

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?
My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite. -

I can view my pictures in Classmates in IE But not in firefox
I can view my pictures in Classmates in IE But not in firefox. I can vie pictures on Facebook fine. I tried every settingsuggested in help unless I missed something.
With the site that you are having problems with on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see the [[site identity button]] article) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [[Images or animations do not show]].
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images. -

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?
Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.
