Initialization error [-70012] in Mavericks

Have a MBP 15”, Early 2011 with a 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, 1 TB 72000 rpm HD fused with a 120 GB SSD, running OS X 10.9.1 (12B42) the original CD/DVD SuperDrive is removed for the SSD, but installed into an USB case and connected external via USB.
After installing the SSD and fuse it with the HD, the original, now the external CD/DVD SuperDrive, via USB connected, worked fine under Mountain Lion but now, since upgraded to Mavericks, OS X 10.0.1, it works only with CD’s and even opens DVD’s but the DVD Player does not work at all (initialization error [-70012]) and prevents to watch any DVD movie.
I researched the Apple discussions boards and others but found not any helpful solution. There are not any DVD or iDVD files on my system. Checked visible as well as invisible files and documents. The Terminal also indicates that there is no such CD or DVD (iDVD) “No such file or directory”.
However, the System Profiler shows clearly that there is a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-8A8: connected with “ Firmware Revision: HB14 / Interconnect: USB / Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive) / Cache: 1024 KB / Reads DVD: Yes / CD-Write: -R, -RW/ DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW / Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO.”
Resetting NVRAM/PRAM did not resolve the issue either. Tried to use 0xED Editor but the command at the “DVDPlayback.framework: /System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A”, brought no indicators of “Internal” or the equivalent hex code. Any smart individual out there, which can help, step by step to get the DVD Player working?
Thank you.

Logical or not, and that is your opinion, it is how it works and doesn't work. Sorry but the built in DVD Player App only works with the Superdrive installed inside the system.
Maybe you applied the HACK in Mt Lion, and don't recall you did it, and when you upgraded to Mavericks is got overwritten.
Been like that for years with many different versions of OS X and DVD Player App.
If the Superdriove is installed inside the system you can use the DVD Player App with another DVD drive connected by USB but the Superdrive must be installed inside the case, and or connected to the secondary SATA connector.

Macbook pro external DVD drive initialization error 70012

This is an answer to my own question and a comment about finding answers to questions on Apple forums.
The situation
I have a Macbook Pro, late-2009 model. In 2013, the internal DVD or optical drive died. I purchased an Apple external DVD drive to be able to read DVD disks, listen to audio, and watch video content. Because the computer I own was built to read only the internal DVD drive, it did not recognize this new external drive. When I plugged it in, I received an error: A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]. Or , or DVD could not be found, initialization error[- 70012].
The question
Given this situation, my question was, how do I solve DVD initialization error 70012?
The answer
Since my Apple Care plan had long since expired, before spending time and money at the Apple store to solve this, I decided to look online. After searching general sites and more and more specific sites, I found several posts on forums about my problem. The most helpful of these, with respect to an external DVD drive, was posted on CNET, by Topher Kessler (June 10, 2011 2:24 PM PDT):
http://www.cnet.com/news/addressing-dvd-player-error-70012-when-using-external-d rives-in-os-x/
The key to his advice was twofold:
1. Hardware: The Macbook Pro was programmed to recognize the internal DVD/optical drive alone.
2. Software: The preferences in the Macbook Pro were set to open Apple's DVD Player when a disc is inserted into the drive.
To play audio or video discs on an external drive, the computer needed to be instructed to recognize the external drive, plus appropriate software needed to be opened. Mr. Kessler's advice went from hardware (i.e., get a new internal drive), to software (i.e., use different audio or video software), to operating system (i.e., alter the code in the operating system). Like with Goldie Locks, the first was too expensive, the last was too invasive, but the middle option was just right.
I searched for free software to display audio and video on my external drive and found two that could do the job quite nicely. There are others, but these seemed to be the most recognized and highly rated:
1. MPlayerX (http://mplayerx.org/download.html)
2. VLC Media Player (http://download.cnet.com/mac/media-players/?rpp=30)
So, I didn't have to buy an internal DVD drive and I didn't have to alter the code of the operating system. I just needed to download free software, install, and play.
The points to learn
1. Computers involve both hardware and software, therefore solutions to computer problems can require fixes to one, the other, or both.
2. The simplest solution, and the least expensive, is to be preferred over the more complex.
3. What went wrong for someone else is not necessarily what happened to your computer or software.
4. What solved someone else's problem may not solve your problem.
5. Just because nobody has posted information on how to solve your problem doesn't mean there isn't a solution to it.

Hi Duane,
Thanks for the info! That's some catch-22 for DVD Player... but useful info. I guess I'll just pick up a generic DVD-ROM to replace the drive with.
As to the external drive, do not USB 2.0 cases run at the same speeds at Firewire 400 cases? (the same drive has no issues on other machines for playing dvds... just the lampshade iMac)

Force eject: Initialization error [-70012] Valid DVD drive not found

Back in December I had an issue with a DVD from NEtflix that was sucked into the black hole of my G4.
No force eject protocol worked, must have tried at least 1/2 dozen.
Come to find out, my drive works fine with some DVD/CD and not with others.
The one fix on the web that works is an obscure one that I found.
Restart computer and then insert a credit card into the drive slot, slightly putting pressure upon the spinning disc while pushing the eject or track pad until eject initializes.
So, while I can get the disks out my question is: Why do newer DVD/CDs fail to initialize within my drive...
is it an outdated optical thing?

Does the drive make any noise during power up? You may have had a drive fail completely. One thing to do is check System Profiler and look at the ATA info under Hardware and see if it finds the drive. If it is not found there, the CPU is not seeing the drive and the drive may be kaput.
You should be able to find information on ifixit, like at
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-PowerBook-G4-Titanium-DVI-Optical- Drive/100/1
to see how to get the optical out. There may be instructions on getting a disc out of a failed drive there, or you may have to do a Google search for instructions, as I know they are out there and relatively simple to handle.

Initialization error [-70012] Valid DVD drive not found

I inserted a dvd and it has disapperared into the G-4 black hole.
No icon to eject, and DVD app will not open.
Tried to force eject with BFH, I mean restart while holding trackpad, with no reaction from drive.
Feedback??
With Thanks.

A valid DVD drive not found (error -70012)

Hi.
I get this message when I try to insert a DVD or start the DVD Player app:
'The was an initialization error: A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]'
It won't allow DVD to be insert, they just kind of hit a buffer. There seems to be no power to the DVD drive.
Just happened one day.
Macbook Pro running 10.6.8
Any ideas?
I'd try to get an appt at an Apple Store near me but they are all booked up!!
Thanks

I can only think of two possible reasons. 1. The optical drive is dead. 2. The DVD you put in for some reason went in at an incorrect angle, and jammed something in the drive mechanism.
If you buy this reasoning, you could try to wiggle the DVD. I would use the edge of another cd, inserted about half an inch (one cm) till it touches the one inside, and see if you can get some movement up and down of the one inside.
Needless to say you would be doing this at the risk of further damaging the optical drive as well as the DVD.

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?

Photoshop CS3 Initialization Error

Successfully installed & activated Photoshop CS3 on a new PC with a fresh Windows 7 Pro 64bit installation, along with Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 & Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9 updates. Bridge runs fine, but Photoshop returns the following error when attempting to launch the program, "Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error." Attempted to resolve by the following steps:
Remove/reinstall CS3 in root directory
Remove/reinstall CS3
Disable TWAIN driver
Downloaded & installed latest NVidia video card drivers.
Noticed the following message in PSErrorLog.txt every time Photoshop CS3 is launched, "2013:10:31 09:41:33 : ..\..\sources\OWLPanelManager.cpp : 1602 : REQUIRE failed" Downloaded & installed AdobeOwl.dll for this reason, but without success.
ALM.log prinout indicates that several steps failed, but I do not know whether this is a problem or how it might be resolved:

Any suggestions to resolve this dilemma are appreciated.

I managed to resolve the Photoshop CS3 initialization error by reinstalling Windows 7 Pro 64-bit from scratch. This took a lot of time, but it amounted to less effort than I had spent troubleshooting the problem.

Setup Initialization Error

Mar 14, 2010 Setup Initialization Error My computer recently crashed. I got it repaired but in the process, most of my programs were lost including Adobe PhotoShop 7.0. I tried re-installing from the CD but got an error message which read: Setup Initialization Error. Setup is unable to find a hard disk location to store temporary files. Make at least 3089KB free space available and then running setup again. Error 101. Then I received another message: "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information." Can anyone help fix this situation? Thank you. Kind personal regards,

And? What operating system? What language? What computer? User account? Sorry, such vague statemts will never get you the help you may need. This is mostly a system problem...

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096)"

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096). I have removed both itunes and quicktime from my computer and re-installed them and I still get the same message. What do I do to get itunes to work?

That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
download iTunes again from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.
After doing the steps above, stand by and others may be able to assist you.
