My same fire wall program, anti-,malware has been on this computer since I purchased it 7 months ago.
No software changes in system.
I do not use the Comodo firewall system either.
Thank you

Have you tried installing a trial Blu-ray player. Don't use one from Cyberlink as it's too close to Media Smart DVD.
Use Arc Soft

----Will give that a whirl when I return home.
Have you tried the obvious and picked a Windows restore point to where it was working ? -------Windows 7, in that particular machine isn't letting me dial back for an earlier restore point..... it isn't even letting me see dates....Believe me I would have been happy to dial back a week or two. Not sure why, Havent been able to dig in that direction....was trying to be careful about not digging a deeper hole before moving all important work files and stuff to a different machine before toying with windows deeper.
Maybe the drive itself has failed, do you you have another HP laptop that you can try it in ?-----have several HPs...might try that soon.
Check "Autoplay" in the control panel.----have done the autoplay fixes that have been proposed in other chains of similar problems....no avail.
I will keep throwing ideas at you no matter how simplistic they may seem. I find that it starts people thinking in another direction.     --------Believe me, I appreciate it, just as long as it doesn't devolve into .....Is the machine plugged in?
Have you tried burning a DVD with it ?   Not yet, that is a good idea.
Try installing Image Burn and see if the drive will create ISO files with a Blu-ray disk. You will get a warning that Image Burn can't do this, but continue and let it dead the whole disc. Let me know if that works and I will give you the software to play the movie from the ISO files.
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
Use mirror 8 provided by Image Burn.
What version of Media Smart DVD are you running ? Was using the most recent release......then uninstalled it and went back a few versions... to one that was linked to in another similar thread.
Thanks.

My MacBook Pro's internal SuperDrive has stopped recognizing CDs/DVDs after Yosemite install

After upgrading to Yosemite, my MacBook Pro's (early 2011) internal SuperDrive has stopped recognizing CDs/DVDs after Yosemite install. It takes them in and will eject them with the keyboard button, but they will not mount. Disk Utility shows the SuperDrive and shows the inserted media, but will not mount the disk. That button is grayed out. Please help! I still have training libraries and music I access on such media. Thx!

UPDATE: I discovered some forum posts about a similar issue with Mavericks that recommended re-installing the system to fix the problem. I realized that I rarely restart my computer unless there's an update that requires it, and decided before undertaking a full re-install of Yosemite to simply restart my computer again. THIS WORKED! The SuperDrive is now mounting CDs and DVDs. Not sure what the issue was, but if anyone else has this issue I hope this will save you hours of frustration.

IOs 7.0.4, and my iPod Touch 5th gen has stopped recognizing the majority of my songs

Hi,
I recently updated my iPod to iOS 7.0.4 and when I went to play some songs in my iTunes library the music player would skip past most of the songs and remove them from my library. Sometimes this would happen across all the songs under an artist, however it would still display that I had 30+ songs available from the menu. I have tried resetting my iPod, but this didn't help.
Any suggestions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Pavilion dv7-3165dx will not boot up

This pavilion dv7-3165dx has worked flawlessly for 8 years. Now when I turn it on, the lights come on and the fan runs, but nothing loads up, not Windows, not BIOS, nothing. The screen stays blank. I have cycled the power several times with the same result. I checked the BIOS battery, and it is good: 3.25 volts.

Hi there @Terry49,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your notebook is no longer starting up properly, and I am happy to help with this.
I would start out with this process, and see if there is any change. It is possible that just the hard reset is required.
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
Also check your power adapter, and if you have another one, try it out, and also try a different wall outlet.
I hope this helps.

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3. When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working. When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode. I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug. REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hi lancekatigbak,
If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

Mini stopped recognizing the home network

I have an intel mini 1.42GHz with 1G memory, a G4 Quicksilver, 733MHz, and a 1 GHz G4 iBook. The mini and the quicksilver are on a wired network and the ibook is on an airport network, and I also sometimes use an ethernet cable connection with it as well.
Recently, the mini and the quicksilver have stopped recognizing the network. I can still get internet, via DSL, which is distributed throught the network, but I can't connect the computers to each other via the wired network, like if I want to transfer files between them. I can connect to the mini only via airport from the ibook, but not to the quicksilver (it doesn't even show up in the list) and I can't connect to the ibook from the mini. The ibook will not connect to the mini via the ethernet wire.
Personal file sharing is checked on in the system prefs. I don't know of anything that has changed recently with the setup, except that I recently upgraded iLife on the mini. Any suggestions?
The mini runs 10.4.11, the ibook and the quicksilver run 10.3.9.

I tried to reply to this awhile back, then was out of town, then was busy (as always...)
Anyway...
I don't know why, but it started working this morning. I think you're right about my network setup. DSL comes in from the phone line, goes to a router, and is then directed to the mini, the QS, the ibook, a network printer, a wireless router, and a PC.
I tried pinging the ibook and the QS from the mini this morning and it worked fine. I was able to connect to the other computers OK. The only think I did last night is that I had to do a ctrl-cmd-power switch restart after the ibook locked up when trying to connect to one of the other systems.
I also notice that the QS doesn't show up in the Network list if it's gone to to the screen saver, but the mini does. Another strange thing (that I don't think is new) is that there are two entries for the mini in the ibook's and QS's list of systems. One is called "SKS Mini" and seems to be the one that works. The other one is called "SKS-MINI". If I try to connect to that one, I get a window titled "SMB/CIFS Filesystem Authentication." It also seems to go to the mini, but I'm not sure why there is this extra entry here.
Thanks for the help.

Our HP 1150us g7 has stopped recognizing our dual USB 2.0 Port. It is not listed to uninstall and

Our HP 1150us g7 has stopped recognizing our dual USB 2.0 Port. It is not listed to uninstall or update its' drivers. Only the one USB port works on the right side facing the notebook.
It is only 21 days out of warranty and I am told they can be replaced however it takes a huge amount of labor, then someone else told us it can not be exchanged only the entire Motherboard. I have found the exact part on sale so I believe it is replaceable.
Here is a link to order the part we believe can be replaced.
http://www.machinaelectronics.com/store/buypart.cfm?pn=NL028516
Does anyone know if it is replaceable or not?
We are sick about this we only had the notebook one year and for the warranty to run out only 21 days before this died we are disappointed with HP for not providing some assistance.
This question was solved.

The link you provided is not the same model as yours. While it may work, I haven't verified it.
Have you performed any hardware troubleshooting on the unit yet?

Why did my Mac stop recognizing the external drive?

My Mac suddenly stopped recognizing the external drive when I try to back up through time capsule. It is on and plugged in. What is the problem? what can I do to correct it?

See if the Mac can access the device directly; not via Time Machine. Try the (presumably) USB device on a different computer, and also try a different USB storage device on the Mac, and try different USB ports on the Mac. Also unplug all other USB devices and hubs, and connect the device directly to the Mac. If the USB device has an optional external power supply, try using that. Basically, try different combinations and see if the Mac or the USB cable or the USB device is the most likely source of the problem.

HT1551 Apple TV has stopped recognizing my account and password?

Apple TV has stopped recognizing my password

The only way is to restore through iTunes. Make sure you're following the steps exactly (disconnect all cables, connect micro USB, if using a 3rd gen ATV reconnect power). Make sure to connect directly to computer, not a keyboard port or USB hub. Try a different cable. Check firewall and security software installed on the system.

HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx heats up and shut's down

My HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx heats up and shut's down/ locks up, It does seem Hot so I'm assuming it's due to heat, or heat related. The Vent's are not blocked and no dust.. This could happen within the first 5 minutes of powering up. I swapped out the hard drive just to be sure it wasn't the Hard drive. any suggestion's or idea's with this brief explanation...

You can chat online with a HP Specialist about your issue and details if your eligible to replace your laptop.

I-tunes has stopped recognizing i-pod

For some reason i-tunes has stopped recognizing my i-pod as my name and it is now listed as just "sys" and it shows up blank through i-tunes showing how much space is used and how much I have left. It doesn't synchronize or anything. It was working fine, I haven't done any changes or anything. Nor do I want to update yet to the newest version of i-tunes yet since my i-pod isn't even recognized. Does anyone know what could have happened?
Thanks!

ahhhh. if there's a network at work, another thing to check on with this is to do a file and folder search through the network drives on "ipod_control".
you may have to switch on "show hidden files and folders" to see it (it's a hidden folder on ipods that contains the music files, file management software, ipod preferences, and so on.) in "My Computer" go "Tools > folder view", click the View tab. you'll find the setting in the advanced options.
if you find one of those folders on a network drive, it's a sure sign that someone at some time has had a drive letter confusion with an ipod on the network.

When I tried to stop listener by using lsnrctl80 stop it gives me the subjected error,
while when I stop the listener from Windows Servcies it stops successfully.
Plz note that when I start listener by using lsnrctl80 start it starts successfully.
Following is the information of listener.ora

Plz note that I alsed tried to give password same as the internal passwrod, and remove PASSWRODS_LISTENER but same error occured in each cases.
Thanks in advance for your help

I did not find the exact solution on the suggested site. only found the Error Code and description.
Then I searched on Google.com and found following result which has successfully solved my problem.
LSNRCTL> change_password
Old password:
New password:
Reenter new password:
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DBDEV1)(PORT=1526)))
TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password
LSNRCTL> set password
Password:
The command completed successfully
LSNRCTL> change_password
Old password:
New password:
Reenter new password:
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DBDEV1)(PORT=1526)))
TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password
LSNRCTL>
Regardless of how you enter the password, through a single line or on the prompt, the change will not be successful. To change the password, you have to remove the line passwords_listener in the file listener.ora and then change the password.
Thanks

When trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 7 I keep getting the message that it has stopped because the file is full. There is plenty of room on the iPad. It also says to check the settings. What do I do now?

When trying to update my iPad on iTunes I keep getting a message that the download has stopped because the file is full. There is plenty of space on the iPad. Also, the message says to check the settings. What am I supposed to check in the settings? What do I do now?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

My powerbook G4 has stopped recognising the battery, why might this be and what can I do?

Hi There, after knock my powerbook g4 has stopped recognising the battery, why might this be and what might I do?

What does "after knock my powerbook..." mean? Did it fall on the floor or ?
First, reset the PMU. That can often fix power-related glitches. If that doesn't do it, you can try a PRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If one of those two steps doesn't change anything, do you have another working battery you can substitute?

Ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

Hey there our3goldens,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
