Help please! error code: a valid dvd drive could not be found [-70012]

Hi,
Although I am able to play cds and bootable discs, I am unable to play dvds on my LaCie d2 DVD-RW Firewire Drive. I get an error code:
a valid dvd drive could not be found -70012
Is anyone able to help? I did see one other post listed with this error code, but that person's results seem to be no longer valid, with outdated links for patches.
Thanks,
George

It's possible that you caused some damage by not "properly" doing the firmware update, but drives with bad firmware typically just don't work, period. Unfortunately, LaCie does not keep the older firmware posted on their site so that you could 'back-flash' the drive to an earlier firmware revision and then re-apply the updated firmware.
If you have access to a PC that you could put the drive into (as in, removed from the LaCie external enclosure) and know the drive type (the NEC ND-35xx is the most common) you could find older firmware and flashing utilities for the PC, flash the drive to one of those and then drop it back into the LaCie enclosure and flash it back to the current LaCie firmware. No guarantees this will work, though, and you may end up with a totally dead drive.

Valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]

Is there any solution for this common, long-lasting issue with Lion ?
After my slot-drive decided to go into early retirement, I hooked up a enternal Samsung drive SE-S084F, using both USBs. That was working fine under Snow Leopard and still does for music or data CDs, but returns with the above error with any DVD. Any idea how to get this fixed ? thnx a lot.

I have the same problem on a 3 week old 1.67Ghz 15. The #$%&@% thing took in the DVD disc and would not mount it, Sytem Profiler doesn't recognize the optical drive, DVD player shows 70012 error, initialization failure. What a piece!
Apple Support was nasty, I just purchased a Dual-Core and they wouldn't replace this machine, telling me I didn't buy it direct from Apple, so Tough Luck Stupid!
Apple Corporation blows. No wonder they put all their advertising in music players for kids. Paid $2400 plus AppleCare for this??? Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me, I suppose...

DVD Player installation error A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]

My iMac has an external "superdrive" and I can't play files .dvdmedia. On opening the DVD Player I get this message: There was installation error A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]
This sent an error message to Apple when I click the OK button.
I have tried to relinstall the DVD player.app from the SnowLeopard disc, but this app was not on the list for custom install. I have repaired permissions, no help! I have shut down and waited several minutes and restarted, no help.

My continued frustration with this problem lead me to an archived discussion https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2020977?start=0&tstart=0 This lead me to beleive I need to use the reset password to fully repair my permissions as contained there. Also while booted in the install disc, I performed a Repair Disc on the StartUp disc.
After all this, when I restarted, the DVD Player was able to play DVDmedia files completely.
So I quess I solved my own problem.

Error message in iDVD '08 - A valid DVD drive could not be found

I did the basic updates that always pop up and this error appeared the same day when I went to go use my dvd player (that I use on a daily basis and never had a problem with till now); "A valid DVD drive could not be found. I'm running on an iMac 10.4.11. The dvd player no longer works after I did the update in the morning. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Not clear whether you are talking about the Superdrive or the DVD Player application, but either way, this has nothing to do with iDVD!
When you updated (and you don't say which updates) did you repair permissions both before and after?
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

I would suggest you do so now, then restart your mac.

Valid DVD Drive could not be found

Had this problem for a whle. After switching on my Mac and leaving it for a while the DVD drive disappears and will not eject or even open up the tray. checking the system profiler shows "no burning device was found" and trying to play a DVD comes up with "no valid DVD could be found". I have the latest updates and firmware upgrades. Any ideas anyone?
G5 1.6GHz2GB SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks for the reply.. yes switching off and on again does normally fix the problem but only for a while. Hard drive is not set to "put the hard disk to sleep when possible". I even wondered if the display going to sleep might have been the problem but changing that to leave the display on all the time did nothing. It's like the computer forgets it has a DVD drive after a while

DVD drive could not be found

Put DVD into drive, nothing happens. Went to HD applications, clicked on DVD player and got "initialization error" a valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]. Anyone know of a fix for this?

I keep getting this message as well. I have an NEC DVD-RW nd 2500a drive via firewire on my G4 APG 400 mac. I have toast 8.0; I have iTunes 8.0; I have patchburn installed. Drive will play cd's; will recognize commercial DVD's (but won't play them)

I can't get it to burn a dvd disc or play one. I'm trying to burn data discs for back up.
When I went to iTunes (which patchburn said should at least recognize dvd's) It doesn't give the option to burn data discs anymore. ( I went to iTunes help about burning DVD's and it said to goe to iTunes preferences and under advanced select "burn". That option is nowhere to be found in iTunes 8! I can't use iDVD because that has a minimum cpu speed of 733. Toast "should" recognize and burn, but when ever I load in a black disc it ejects it.
Anyone have the answer?

I can't get dvds to play "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017] Anybody know how to resolve this?

I can't get dvds to play and, instead, get "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]" I went in for a Genius appt Friday and it played for the tech...but now I'm back home (one and a half hours from the store) and I'm getting the error message again when I try to load a dvd. Any recommendations?

Hello, try this...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Reboot... any change?

Can someone tell me how to fix this error in 10.4.11 on a G5 Quad Core 2.5GHz Tower...A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]

Can someone tell me how to fix this error in 10.4.11 on a G5 Quad Core 2.5GHz Tower...A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]

That's an error reported from DVD Player I believe...
kDVDErrorMissingGraphicsDevice = -70017, // A valid graphics device is not available.
There's some conjecture it has to do with HDCP, or Video Card problems, but the only 2 cures/fixes I found were Software related, one was cured by updating the OS, another by replacing the Video kexts.
I think this error also shows up if trying to use DVD player in Safe Mode, (too much research isn't good! ).

Can't think of much to try at the moment, but perhaps reapplying the big 10.4.11 combo, Repair Permissions, & reboot would help, not sure.

VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.media::MicrophoneEnhancedOptions could not be found.

Hi
In the adobe help there is much talk about AEC and sample codes for AEC.
I have downloaded flex sdk 4.5 ,AIR SDK 2.6 which are most recent builds.Installed Flash player 10.3 and AIR runtime 2.7 release candidate.
While using the following code for echo supression:
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getEnhancedMicrophone();
mic = Microphone.getEnhancedMicrophone(0);
var options:MicrophoneEnhancedOptions = new MicrophoneEnhancedOptions();
options.mode = MicrophoneEnhancedMode.FULL_DUPLEX;
options.autoGain = false;
options.echoPath = 128;
options.nonLinearProcessing = true;
mic.enhancedOptions = options;
the following error occurs both in Web version as well as AIR version.
I have included the playerglobal.swc in both the version of applications in the folder frameworks\libs\player\10.3
In both case it is giving the following error:

O/S-Error: (OS 126) The specified module could not be found.

i get this error in my vb6.0 application...
"O/S-Error: (OS 126) The specified module could not be found.

Assuming my connection is fine...

Set adorec = objADOCommand.Execute
it gives me the error upon execution of above line.
i have reinstalled the OLEDB provider,as well as MDAC.
but of no help...
i have even cheked my OS path for oraHome entry.
please respond ASAP...i am stuck.

Searching the web for "loadlibrary failed with error 126 java" seems to point to issues with OpenGL and certain video drivers and/or environments with multiple monitors. Here are several discussions...
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243153
Error "LoadLibrary failed with error 126: The module could not - Microsoft Community
[SOLVED] Issue with Technic Launcher: Load Library failed with Error 126 - Technic Launcher - Technic Forums
So it seems this issue is not specific to SQL Developer. The last discussion includes a video link in its last post saying that ".dll" is searched for rather than "atioglxx.dll" on 32-bit systems or "atio6axx.dll" on 64-bit system (in the C:\Windows\system32 folder), so a workaround is to copy one of those to ".dll".

I'm trying to use import com.adobe.crypto.* on Windows version of my App but get error 1172:Definition com.adobe.crypto could not be found

The Mac version of my Air app works fine, so does the iPad version, but the PC version has been a bit of a nightmare.
I keep getting the error "1172:Definition com.adobe.crypto could not be found", when I publish it.
Basically the 'com' folder is in the same directory as the app I am publishing and within that is 'adobe' and within that is 'crypto' within that is a series of .as files.
I've added C:\Users\Gary\Documents\My_Applications\My_App_folder\com\adobe\crypto to source path list (I have no idea if that's right).
But that just gives me a different error 5001: The name of package com.adobe.crypto does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definitions name inside the file.......
I didn't have to include this source in the Mac version... but someone seemed to suggest it on a forum.
I'm basically stabbing in the dark at the mount, something I seem to be doing a lot of these days. :-(
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Gary

I've figured it out
Turns out I needed to add a source path (in the Actionscript 3 settings click on the Source File Tab) that exactly matches the directory the app and com folder is inside of. I wrongly assumed that Adobe Air could figure out where it was for itself, but no.... it needs to be told where to look for the com folder even though it's staring it right in its face. (Don't set the path to the 'com' folder itself, but to the enclosing folder that the .fla and the com is in).
The Mac version doesn't seem to need that, it just finds the com folder if it's inside the same folder.
Now I've got another massive error:-
When I test the app, it works fine sending to Air for Desktop, however when I publish with embedded runtime for Windows.... It comes up with this error.
Any ideas ?
