I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

    Lotfi are you receiving any error messages during the installation?  I would recommend reviewing your installation logs for errors.  Please see Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • Weird error without any error message

    I've been working on some actionscript 3 system. And all of a
    sudden, it wouldn't execute anymore. When I pushed CTRL-Enter in
    Flash CS3, a white screen would open up (instead of the normal
    flash program) and no trace-output would be given.
    Three hours later I found the cause of this weird problem.
    It's (simplified) the line:
    var value:Number = -(true ? 1 : 0); // This one doesn't work.
    Put this line in your script, and your entire program won't
    execute. And without any error message! I was wondering, why is
    that? By the way, the following lines do work:
    var a:Number = -(2*3+4); // Gives -10.
    var b:Number = (true ? 1 : 0); // Gives 1.
    var c:Number = -b; // Gives -1.
    var d:Number = 0-(true ? 1 : 0); // Gives -1.
    var e:Number = -((true ? 1 : -1) as Number);
    So, my guess is that the code (true ? 1 : 0) gives some sort
    of data type which is not a Number, and therefore doesn't except
    minus signs. But that wouldn't explain why it doesn't even give an
    error. So what IS wrong with it?

    ok - well if these numbers are used to begin the execution of
    a method in your file, it's likely that they are not firing up
    because the syntax here is incorrect. in order to use this type of
    conditional operator (which i do use quite often as well, handy
    convenient ;) the structure should be:
    var value:Number = (condition) ? 1 : 0;
    'true' is not a 'condition' but a boolean result, so it
    should not be evaluated in the way have been using it here -
    however 'true' is 'true' so the result will always be 1 (the first
    expression in the operator) - i'm not certain why you would need a
    -0 result and if you are always wanting a 'negative' number then
    use that number in the return expression, as in:
    var value:Number = (condition) ? -1 : 0;

  • Concurrent Program ends in Error without any error message - Apps 11.0.3

    Hi,
    We have a concurrent program which errors out sometimes without any error message in log file or anywhere else. This happens intermittently. Is there anyway to see why this happens ( to see error message somewhere else - like FND tables ?). Any feedback is appreciated. This happens in Oracle Apps 11.0.3.
    thanks
    Ram

    Ram,
    Is this a custom or standard concurrent program?
    Was this working properly before? If yes, what changes have been done recently?
    Did you try to relink the concurrent program executable file and see if this helps? Also, you could enable trace/debug and submit the request again and see if more details are collected in the logs -- See (Note: 296559.1 - FAQ: Common Tracing Techniques within the Oracle Applications 11i/R12).
    Regards,
    Hussein

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Photoshop cs2 crashes and reboot windows xp without any error message when I try to open a file

    Hi,
    I downloaded the trial version (assessment for thirty days) of Adobe Photoshop cs2. Once installed the trial version, the program works correctly, except for a basic function: to open files and modify them. Any image files (jpeg-gif-png-tiff-bmp-psd) on press command FILE>OPEN, or Ctrl+O, to open it, sends the system in crash, and without any warning message, send to "restart" the operating system, in my case , windows xp.
    I use also photoshop cs, and it works correctly and allows to open file image also; but not with cs2.
    What's the problem?

    The error message I see in a Event Viewer after the program crashed is the following:
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: Userenv
    Event Category: None

  • WL510 startup hangs without any error messages.

    I have installed WebLogic 510 on a Sun Sparc with Solaris 5.7
    following WebLogic installation guide(which I have used to
    successfully install other similar machines). We are using
    JDK 1.2.2_06(with the three necessary OS patches installed).
    When I try to start WebLogic from command line(see below)
    using script, it just hangs and sits there without giving any
    error messages. Is there anything obvious that I have missed?
    Thanks, Jim
    Command line I used to start WebLogic server
    (all in one line of course):
