Inserted data CD shows blank in Finder

Recently, I've been experiencing a problem where any CD I insert that was burned on Windows is seen as a blank CD in Finder. The data is seen fine on both Windows and a PPC based Mac, but not my Intel-based MacBook Pro.
Other CDs and DVDs are fine; it seems only related to CDs recently burned on Windows.
Any suggestions on what could be causing this and how it can be corrected? I've searched far and wide and have not been able to find anyone else experiencing this issue.

Hi Garth,
A reboot just fixed the issue on that system in which the options are not coming to run the setup manually.
As i had hibernated the VM's and the server in which those options were not coming is the physical box hosting the VM's (SCCM server and one more client). The physical box is also acting as a client and the SQL server holding the SCCM Database.
Now things which need to be troubleshooted are:
1. Why is it Hardware inventory report appearing after running the setup manually and not appearing automatically.
2. The software inventory report is not appearing at all even after it is being run manually.
Below is the screen shot of the default client settings policy i am using.
Software inventory:
Hardware inventory:
My LAB setup is as follows:
SCCMSVR.labtest.com - Is the SCCM server and Fail back status point, Asset intellegence sync
point and etc.
Server.labtest.com - Is the Domain controller, SQL server
SCCMTEST.labtest.com - A testing machine to push the client and to deploy patches in it.
Site code is LAB
Grath - What do you suggest is the next Plan of action which you suggest ?

Inserted CD will show up in finder, but isn't clickable and nothing pops up...

I know this type of question has been asked before but I feel my problem is a bit more specific. The CD is from a school textbook filled with language mp3 clips and is manufactured by a Korean university. My macbook is in fairly good condition, bought it in late last August, never had any viruses or anything like that. Just wanted to know if anybody has some insight into why this isn't working and if this problem is fixable, or if this is just user error from my lack of tech smarts.
Any help its greatly appreciated

Update: after trying 6 discs that failed, the next few worked fine. Both iTunes and Finder displayed the actual disk name and track names. However, going back to the previously failed disks did not change the outcome. They still failed. That worked for another 6 or so disks, then this morning I ran across another one that got looked up in iTunes, but not in Finder.

TS3579 I found this useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up

I found this (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

Blank data CD doesn't show up in finder window, but I can burn music onto..

When I load a blank CD (or CD-RW), iTunes opens. But no icon shows up, either in iTunes, in the Finder window or on the Desktop. If I select a playlist in iTunes, the Burn Disc icon appears and I can burn the disc (even thought I can't see it). Once burned, the disc DOES show up on the Desktop and all is well.
HOWEVER, I cannot move data onto a blank disc. System Profiler says the disc is loaded, but the Finder doesn't see it. I saw something somewhere about running "repair permissions," but I don't know how to do that and don't know whether it's the thing to do, anyhow.
Thoughts, anyone?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

One possibility is that you have "Ignore" selected for when you insert a blank CD.
To change this go to System Preferences below the blue , then click on CDs&DVDs. From this box you are able to change the preferences for when a disc is inserted.
Changing it to "Ask what to do" will prompt a dialog box where you can choose an "action" such as open the Finder. This should allow the disc icon to be visible on the desktop when a blank disc is inserted.
Hope this helps.

Blank CD/DVDs not showing up in finder

Hi,
When I insert a brand new blank cd or dvd, it does not show up in finder or the desktop, which is how i used to make data dvds and such. however it does write in itunes or idvd, it will write to it and recognize it. any ideas?

Open up preferences and then go to CDs & DVDs. For the options on "When you insert a blank CD/DVD" choose "Open Finder." This should work for you.

DVD will read movies, data CDs, but data DVDs show as blank (recordable)

My MBP started not reading data DVDs including older ones that have been accepted in the past.
The behavior is that the data DVDs show up as blank recordables.
I can read data CDs and Movie DVDs.
I've read a few threads that suggested resetting the PRAM, which I will do later (can't right now).
I wanted to post in case anyone else has seen this behavior. I don't often ready data DVDs so I can't say if this happened after a particular system update.

One more thing. The erzatz "blank" dvds do not show up in the Finder. The only way to eject them is with Disk Utility.

PL/SQL procedure to insert data doesn't work and unable to find reason.

Sorry that I couldn't find the best place to post this question. It seems that the forum does not deal with this kind of question. I post here for help.
I have a stored procedure to insert data into one table. SP was compiled without error and executed without error (from log table to get information). But the data was not inserted into
the target table. I have tried different way to figure out the reason. But I failed to get any idea. Please help me to find possible reasons. The smple SP looks like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE my.sp_insert( P_DATE IN VARCHAR2)
IS
declare section
begin
insert into target_table (column1, column2, column3, column4)
select record1, record2, record3, record4 from table1, table2, table3, table4
where clause;
commit;
exception section
UPDATE PROCESS_LOG_TABLE CLAUSE;
html_email section;
rollback;
end my.sp_insert
I have tested that "select record1, record2, record3, record4 from table1, table2, table3, table4" really fetch the 7,000 records. and if I only run part of SQL from SQLPLUS as
insert into target_table (column1, column2, column3, column4)
select record1, record2, record3, record4 from table1, table2, table3, table4
where clause;
It will work and insert 7,000 records into target table. Why did it not insert into target_table when execiting as stored procedure? Please help with your input. Thanks.

Dear Friend,
Is the user from which you created database procedure and sqlplus that you tested the code successfully is same?

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

Blank DVD and CD not showing up in Finder or anywhere

My blank dvd and cd are not showing up in Finder. I checked my preference and deleted from my library com.apple.finder.plist. All to no avail. I have the new upgraded Lion.

AppleHoop wrote:
When I open the Disk Utility I see SuperDrive but I can't burn nor eject the disk. The only way I can eject the DVD is to restart my computer.
Do other blank discs appear normally?
Do other commercially manufactured discs (software, movies) show up normally?
Those questions are to help narrow down exactly what the problem is.

Honestly i don't think those are going to make much difference for this problem. Go ahead and do them, but they're usually last resort desparation solutions, not first resort.

Why its showing error : Invalid Object Name 'table name' when we try to insert data ?

Hi,
    When i try to insert data in the database with the following query
                con.Open();
                cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into good(ID,Name) values('" + textBox1.Text + "','" + textBox2.Text + "')", con);
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                MessageBox.Show("Insert success");
                con.Close();
    its showing following error Invalid Object Name 'good'

Use 3-part naming like: MyDatabase.dbo.good(ID,Name) .
Also consider using stored procedure for database INSERTs.

Hardware and Software inventory data shows blank in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I have this issue. When i try to view the inventory data for hardware and software it shows blank data. Below is the screenshot of that. Mine is a lab setup and i have only 2 clients configured.
I am using the default client settings which comes with priority of 10000. I altered the inventory setting to pull .dll and .exe files with changing the interval. But still the same issue. I analysed the InventoryAgent.log and found the below error on both
the clients.
Inventory: 1 Collection Task(s) failed.
InventoryVersionNumber for '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}' not found.
CInvState::CheckInventoryAgentConfig: Get() failed: 80041002
Can any one please help.

Find record insert date and time in a table

Hi All,
I want to get record insert date and time in a table. There is no datetime column in my table. Are there any possibility to get date and time for each record?
Thank You

Thats not easy. If your transaction info still resides on active portion of the log you can use fn_dblog to read out the time at which the transactions occurs. This is useful only if you try it shortly after transaction.
the code would look like this
SELECT *
FROM fn_dblog(null,null)
WHERE [Transaction Name] LIKE 'INSERT%'
OR [Transaction Name] LIKE 'UPDATE%'

What do i do when external optical drive doesn't show up in finder? how can i import software, music, etc. when the drive isn't recognized/mounted/whatever?

the internal optical drive on my early 2006 20"imac has mechanical problems ejecting discs. i've gone thru all the recommended steps to eject discs, and have luckily been able to eject the last 3 discs but only after spending 30-60 minutes going thru all of the steps over and over, and today just trying "eject disc" in itunes since i had itunes open. i don't want to put another disc in - the drive clearly has problems with the mechanical eject mechanism, and from what i've read that's not unique to my computer.
i bought an external optical drive: lite on, clamshell design to avoid problems with the eject mechanism; i contacted the mfr who said it's mac compatible.
the drive plays dvds, which is all i've tried so far, but doesn't show up in finder. so i don't know how to use it to load software, or music, or anything besides watch dvds.
is there something i can do to get the drive recognized/mounted/whatever? i would prefer to not spend the $220 which was quoted to me by an authorized mac repair company, even tho i think that's probably a reasonable cost given the delicacy of the operation as shown on ifixit.com.
thanks!

I have an external LaCie burner and it will not show up on my Mac unless I insert a CD or DVD - in that case, the media will show up (I have these settings in the Pref Pane):
If you want to burn files or music to blank media, you can use Finder or Disk Utility for files, but should use an iTunes playlist/iTunes for music and a movie burn app for videos/movies (such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, Burn, etc).
If you simply want to drag files over as a backup, an external hard drive is a much better solution than a burner.
