IMac no longer recognizes my DVD player after upgrading to DVD Player 4.6

Hi,
Several days ago I upgraded to Tiger and then 2 days ago, through "software update" I upgraded to 10.4.3 and also upgraded to DVD Player 4.6
I just discovered that my computer no longer sees the DVD player and an inserted DVD doesn't show up anywhere (when I check under "Hardware" and then "Disc Burning" under "About This Mac" it says "No burning device was found."
I tried reinstalling the upgrade (DVD Player 4.6) but it says it can't because there's no valid DVD player in the system (my computer has a Superdrive and I've played and burned DVD's a plenty in the past several months).
Any help/info will be GREATLY appreciated!!
-Stephen

  • Imac no longer recognizes external hard drive

    my iMac no longer recognizes my external hard drive. An icon used to be on my desktop, at times it would disappear and come back, but it has remained elusive for the past couple of months and is NOWHERE to be found. It doesn't even show up in the Disk Utiity. I need my files!

    Please Google, "Intel iMac SMC Reset" and follow the instructions. If the drive is OK this may solve it.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks my iMac no longer recognizes my digital camera.  iPhoto will open, but my camera never appears in the source list or goes into import mode.  Help!

    Since upgrading to Mavericks my iMac no longer recognizes my digital camera.  iPhoto will open, but my camera never appears in the source list or goes into import mode.  Help!

    I found that if you open iMage Capture App that seems to trigger iPhoto to open and thew camera is connected.  At least that happens with my camera.  Good luck.

  • I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R.

    I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R.  Any clues?  Nothing shows up in Finder as far as a Device, and I have a message telling me to "Insert a blank disc to begin" and that I will need a disc with at least "47.6 MB"--it's only 18 photos, and I need to burn them for a parent of a student (I'm a teacher).  I have tried several different discs, so it's not the actual CD or DVD.

    Create a new folder. Place the photos in that.
    From the Finder File menu choose New Burn Folder. That will appear on your desktop. Place the folder of photos  you created into that.
    Now open Disk Utility and you will see that Burn Folder listed. Choose Burn from the menu.

  • Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

    Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

    Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
    spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

    I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
    I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so,  do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

    I've also notice when I start the computer up, it stays on the grey screen longer than it did when I had the original card (512 mb).
    My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.

  • Command, Control, and Option keys no longer works with Citrix Receiver after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5

    At first my keyboard did not work with Citrix Receiver after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5 and I found the workaround by using "cmd + tab," however, once my keyboard work within Citrix, the "command, control, and option" keys no longer work.  Does anyone have a remedy for this?

  • IMac no longer recognizes bluetooth after installing XP

    I just installed XP using Boot Camp 2.0, and now my computer no longer recognizes the bluetooth internal card (not in XP or OSx). When I go to system preferences, the bluetooth icon doesn't even show up and even when I go to "about this Mac" and look under bluetooth it says "No information found." Any ideas? Both in XP and OSx I have gotten a problem code 43...what does that mean??
    This is my first Mac...so this is all new to me, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi. Thank you for your response. I actually didn't get to test it out because before going to bed, I shut everything down, unplugged it, and said a prayer. (All of which I had done earlier in various combinations, except the prayer part.) This morning I plugged the computer in, turned it on, held my breath, and plugged the MyBook in - it recognized it and I downloaded everything onto my iMac before it could change its mind.
    I'll keep a copy of your reply so that I know what to do the next time I pull a stunt like this.
    Thanks, again, for the help response.

  • DVD player after 'upgrade'

    I bought Tiger for my 12 " powerbook which was running the latest version of panther. I got it 3 days ago, and it has caused nothing but trouble. Most notibly has been that DVD player cant play a DVD for more than 2 or 3 minutes without crashing. Also i have been quite underwhelmed by the software updates, for 50 pounds i would expect more than 30 day demos of keynotes and pages then spotlight and dashboard. Where is the updated version of garageband??! where is the improved software? It seems like i payed 50 pounds for apple to break my only DVD player!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Despite appearances your DVD player did not break because of Tiger. What your symptoms indicate is there was data corruption, or a hard drive that was too full, or bad permissions on your files that created a problem with the updates. The updated Garageband can only be found if you bought iLife '06 itself, if you have an older Garageband. No iLife applications except iTunes are included with Tiger.
    When upgrading it is important to follow the procedures on my FAQ, especially if there is the potential for data corruption:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
    You should not be buying an update to speed your machine, or to fix problems that exist on your machine. If you had any problems whatsoever before, updates will only enhance their visibility.
    Updates usually are there to add features, and not fix problems.

  • IPhoto no longer works with Nikon 5100 after upgrade to 10.8

    IPhoto with newly installed Mountain Lion no longer recognizes a connection to my  Nikon 5100.  The USB cable is good, as it works with  my other Macs  -- OSX versions 10.6.8 and 10.7.4, just as it did with my Imac before I upgraded to 10.8.  My Preferences are set to recognize any camera.  I even upgraded to IPhoto 11 v9.3.2, but no help.  Any ideas?

    Hi, I have the same problem with my Nikon Coolpix 5000: camera is not recognized at all by Mountain Lion after upgrading: worked just fine with Lion.
    Problem: I connect the camera, Mac (MacBook Pro Late 2011) freezes for a while (!!!) then external disk icon does not appear.
    Console registers messages like the following:
    20/08/12 19:34:24,000 kernel[0]: USBF: 363761.547 AppleUSBEHCI[0xffffff801fcbf000]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfa, timing out! (Addr: 0, EP: 0)
    Strange thing is, my Coolpix 5000 is a very old camera with only USB 1 support: this problem occurs to me with every USB 1 device connected on Mountain Lion!
    Hope they'll fix the problem or just find some workaround...

  • Can no longer connect to wireless router after upgrading to iTunes 9.2

    My wireless connection was fine (using MacBook). After upgrading iTunes, I can not longer connect to router/modem wirelessly - am tethered with an ethernet cable. Spent 1 1/2 hours on phone with AT&T support reseting the passwords, security, etc. A PC laptop accepts password and can connect. My iPhone still can connect. But my MacBook (OS X 10.6) will not recognize my password for the modem/router. Everything has been re-booted and reset to original settings. Also, I received an iPad yesterday and it won't accept the password for our home wireless network. The password is correct because I am using it on other devices that are connecting to the network. Any ideas?

    Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Can no longer connect to certain shares after upgrading to 10.8.4

    After upgrading to the latest version of Mountain Lion, I can no longer access certain shared volumes. I have one machine running 10.4.11 and I can connect to its hard drive. Another machine on my network runs 10.5.8, and I can now only connect to the built-in hard drive. There are also 2 Firewire drives connected to that (10.5.8) machine that I can no longer connect to.
    When I use "Connect to Server" and enter the AFP address of the 10.5.8 machine, I get a full list of "available" shares, but if I select one of the FireWire volumes, I just get a spinning "rosette" for several minutes and then a failure message. I also have an OS 9 machine that I can no longer connect to on the same network.
    I already read the "Connecting to Legacy Systems" notice and still no joy after following the instructions.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    No NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
    The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages.

  • Can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes after upgrading to Itunes 7

    I can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes since upgrading to Itunes 7. When I try it freezes my Itunes and I have to force quit the application. Anyone else know how to solve this? Anyone else having this problem?

  • Iphoto 2 doesn't recognize my Digimax camera after upgrade

    since upgrading from osx 10.3 to 10.3.9 my Samsung Digimax U-CA3 camera is no longer recognized by iPhoto 2.0.1. Is it possible to download a driver? No driver was needed before as the computer supported the camera-up to 10.3! Does this mean the camera is now obsolete?
    Thanks in advance.

    Brie- 'USB' and 'Computer' are highlighted in camera Set-up- no other settings. A UK magazine, Macuser, advised me to buy a Card Reader which will have a universal storage format. Apparently camera manufacturers 'stray' from this universality and introduce 'quirks' which throw protocol and may be responsible for my Mac not recognizing the camera after the upgrade.
    Meanwhile I'm still intrigued 1] by the Mac's System Profiler recognising the camera and 2] your insights into Permissions after Upgrade and Disc Utility! Also it seems likely that having 'related' to the camera previously the Mac would still have the capacity to do so.[?]
    Still, the Card Reader is a cheaper solution [£9] than a new camera and I'm an artist and need to record my work. Any further thoughts welcome, and thanks so much for your help. This communication made the problem very interesting and enjoyable!
