Intermittant failure to read some dvds that were created on the same drive

I have a HP Pavilion dv6700t with with Vista Home Premium OS. Since I have owned it, the dvd drive has intermittantly failed to recognize dvd's that it created. The dvd's were created under Live File System format, both as 2.01 and 2.50 UDF Version. When I insert one of these failing DVDs into the drive, autoplay comes up with only blank dvd options. If I request the properties of the dvd, both used and free space shows 0 and the dvd icon is completely blue. When I left click the drive, the burn a disk window opens. Help!

When I double click on the DVD icon i get the viewer and the little remote control. All it says on the viewer is Support disc not available when I push play. If I just incert the DVD into the DVD drive I get absolutely nothing. No viewer, no remote, no full screen, no attempt to start. This disc runs just fine on my PC laptop.
You are getting closer. In Finder you will see the DVD appear under Devices, Single Click it so it's highlighted. Then you will see all the files on it. Single Click 1 File then type Command A (Select All) then Command C (Copy) and under the Favorites in the sidebar you will see an icon for Desktop, Single Click Desktop and then type Command V (Paste) and you have copied them onto your iMac's desktop.

How can I play Power Point DVDs that were created on my mac 7-10 years ago?

I cannot play DVDs that were created 7-10 years ago using Power Point for Mac.

What do you mean Keynote "son't open the DVDs"? That doesn't make sense. It's not up to Keynote to open the DVDs. The file that are ON the DVDs, yes. The DVDs, no. What kind of files are they, exactly?
Try downloading Open Office and see if you can open them with Impress, the presentation program included with the Open Office package.
If that won't work, you can get a 1 month trial of Office365 from Microsoft. It's $9.99 a month after the trial ends.

"Read items that were created by the user" and inconsistent permissions

Hi!
I have enabled the option "Read items that were created by the user" and "Create items and edit items that were created by the user" in the advanced settings of a list. Indeed when a user creates an item in that list, that item is visible
only by that account and other accounts cannot see it.
However when the user opens the "Shared With" dialog he/she sees all users there, giving him/her the impression that the item is visible to everyone! Why is that? This is very confusing since this "Shared With" feature is the only way
for a user to tell who can see an item.

Let it make it more clear. User A creates Item 1. Users B creates Item 2. When User A sees the contents of the list he sees Item 1 only. When User B sees the contents of the list he sees Item 2 only. As expected.
The problem is that if User A selects Item 1 and then clicks on 'Shared With' button on the ribbon, he will get pop up that indicates that the Item 1 is Shared with User B. Which is not true since User B cannot see the item. So User A wrongly assumes
that Item 1 is Shared with User B!

How do I get my iMac to play CDs & DVDs that were created on a PC

I have been trying to get my new iMac to play CDs and DVDs that have been created on a PC. All I can get it to do is say "Supported disk not available" Is there something I am not doing right? Or do I have to download some other program to get it to interface with the PC or what. I am brand to to the Mac world and at this point am getting frustrated. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

I can't open a document in 4.3 of Pages that I created on the same laptop, with the same software. Can anyone tell me how I can open this doc without upgrading?

I'm getting a message saying I need a new version of Pages to open the document.
How can this be?
When I click through for more info APple offer me an upgrade at a price of £19.99 and I've read that the 5.2 version of Pages is really glitchy. So, I don't want to do it, but I need to open my document.
Any ideas?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I need to open pagemaker 5 files that were created on the Mac.

I downloaded Indesign cs4 but it blows up when I try to open the pagemaker file. Can anybody tell me how to make this work or should I be using a different program?

Thanks for the reply but how would you unembedd the graphics if you
can't open the document?
That's why you (um, I) need to keep your dead tech around; the only way to unembed the graphics is to open the document in the app that created it. Quite often, when I need to resurrect a dead PageMaker doc, I have to use the importer in PM 7 to extract the stories. I don't need to do so too often, but I'm quite glad I kept the old stuff around when a client shows up with something ancient.
It's more critical for me, actually, because a fair number of the old translations we've kept in our archive that were made that long ago used terribly obscure and/or modified T1 fonts for which I have to write javascript codepage converters in ID. If I couldn't open up the old files easily, then doing a proof of the conversion process would be a painful, time-consuming, eyesight-destroying job.
Can you tell me about your non profit and the refugees that you work with?
Well, I don't really work direcly with refugees myself, I spend a lot more time working with their writing systems. However, if you want to learn about the organization for which I spend my time juggling Burmese and Amharic and et cetera, direct your browser to www.irco.org. There is a great deal going on here that has nothing to do with the translation department.

If I use my iPad2 to present presentations created in MS Powerpoint, will I retain the embedded videos and hyperlinks that were created in the original presentation

I want to use my iPad2 to make presentations created in MS Powerpoint. These have embedded videos, animations and hyperlinks. Will these all work in the spreadsheet if I use Keynote on my iPad to display and present them.

I have another problem.
I have deleted all apps from my iPhone 4s and then I have changed my
Apple ID's country information from Poland to United States.
After that, I have downloaded all deleted apps.
But only few are in 'Purchased' section on iPhone!
I guess only these, I have downloaded using USA App Store, not Polish.
I am getting frustrated, because I have got too many problems with iOS
and it doesn't look it will get better... Please help me ASAP! Thanks!

My CDROM can`t read some dvd after changing windows

hi,i have hp probook 450 g1 , i had windows 8.1 but i had some problems so changed my windows and install windows 8.1.1 i install all of my drivers but after i change my windows the CDROM can`t read some DVDs specially DVD9 and the sound of CDROM is changed and it`s strange for such this DVD that it can`t read it reads them some times , but most of the time can`t read , it make me crazy , please help me

Hi Yolanda,
the error message is inside a popup: (French trnaslation) "Windows media Player encountered an error and will close." I have the choice beetween "CLOSE" and "HELP ON THE WEB".
Of course the "help" is totally useless....
I don't see any troublshooter related to "media player". The only troubleshooter where I can choose Media player is for the "compatibility mode", so it's not helpful. On the "audio and devices" troubleshooter I see "read
a DVD with Windows Media Player", but that's not my case.
I've already done the last step. I copy the MP3 from my second computer to the "problematic" one, and I can't read my file. But, on the second computer, i can read this MP3 so the issue is ONLY when I try to read this file with my Windows session.
(in the same computer, with the administrator session, I can read all the files).
To put it in a nutshell:
on computer A logged as CEDRIC i can not read the mp3 called SUPERSONG (it's an example lol)
on computer A logged as administrator, I can read the SUPERSONG
on computer B logged as CEDRIC (other local account but same name) I can read the SUPERSONG mp3 that is present in the music Library (that is not the same file, but it's a file with the same name, and of crouse this is the same song). (all my MP3 are copied
from computer A to computer B in case of failure on one of the computers)
on computer A logged as CEDRIC, if I do a
\\computerB\c$\...\SUPERSONG I can not read it.
I know this is complicated to explain, but if I ask to the Microsoft community that is because I don't know what to do ;) ;) ;)

DVD Drive only reads some DVDs

I can watch most of my DVDs perfectly. However, some DVDs that I put in will spin around awhile before a message pops up saying I inserted a blank DVD and then it will eject. The DVDs are all purchased/rented. There are no problems on other DVD players. There aren't marks on the DVDs. Also, let's say I rent Transformers on DVD and my DVD player won't read it. If I rent a different disc of Transformers, usually it still won't play it.
Do I need to get something repaired/replaced or can I fix it?

I am also having this problem. My DVDs (all of which are legitimate, bought new etc.) have always worked. I bought one recently from Amazon though and my MacBook Pro keeps reading it as blank. Just to verify it was my computer and not the disk, I took it over to my neighbor's apartment. She tested it in a standard DVD player and her MacBook Pro......it works just like it should. ***? We have the same computer but it won't play on mine?!?!

MacBook Pro not reading some DVD's.

My 18 month old, 15" MacBook Pro refuses to read some DVD's, even a new DVD out of the packet. When I insert the disc I can hear the drive whir up but it doesn't whir up as far as it does when I put a DVD in that it will read. The drive just keeps whirring up and down and if I leave it eventually I get a message saying I have inserted a blank DVD but this usually appears after a good 5 minutes. The only way I can I remove the DVD is by restarting my MacBook whilst holding down the eject button.
Any ideas?

Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd
Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.
You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.
At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
This will bring up the Help Menu.

I have some DVDs that I would like to watch but I am unable to watch from my ipad. can DVDs be uploaded to itunes?

I have some dvds that I would like to watch on my IPad can they be uploaded into ITunes and then viewed on my IPad?

Some commercial DVDs have the ability to purchase straight off of them through the iTunes store. But you must purchase the boxed set for those DVDs to obtain the registration code for purchase. They provide a link straight from the DVD. But otherwise, as Niel says you are basically stuck legally with only being able to make iTunes capable files from your own home made videos. Terms of use do not allow discussing ripping DVDs, so we can't say how its done even if we know how.

Sattelite A30-404: DVD player doesnt read some DVD's

Hi,
I have a Sattelite A30-404 and recently I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here|http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=518&langua ge=33&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=allMachines&search= &action=search&macId=&country=28&selectedLanguage= 33&type=all&page=1&ID=46804&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42]
Since then i can't read some DVD's I write, mostly DVD of 4gb+, I can, for example, perfectly read a 1,3gb DVD with 3 multisessions.
However, other computers can read the DVD's that I can't.
Help would be appreciated.

Possibly the new firmware does not contain all informations about all DVDs.
Do you know what firmware is or what informations it contains?
The drive firmware contains single informations about the medium which can be used, which burning/read speed is supported, what medium manufacturer is compatible, etc
Possibly the new firmware contains other info as the old one and therefore the CD/DVD cannot be read correctly.
I think in such case you have to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn with different speed.
