Is it possible for my dvd player to be able to play dvds but not burn them anymore?

So my dvd player will play movies but it will not let me burn them anymore. I didn't even think this was possible? Do I need to just replace it or is there a way to actually get it to burn again?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Probably the SuperDrive is damaged, if it doesn't allow you to burn DVDs. You have two possibilities:
1. Take the computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get a new SuperDrive.
2. Buy an external optical drive for your iMac

Flash player 11.6.602.180 plays audio but not video...

Very similar to problems reported by others. Just started recently... flash player on Win 7 and IE 10 plays audio but no video... just black box or blank.
Have reinstalled flash player several times... including following all clean install instructions several times. Installation completes and and tells me it's installed successfully.
Have carefully matched IE settings to allow activeX content and have enabled the flash player object and turned on active scripting for all zones, etc. Still no video.
Going to the flash verification page shows a blank box where the current installed version should be.
If I look in control panel under Flash Player it tells me the activeX version is 11.6.602.180 and that the plug in is "Not Installed"... could that be the problem?
What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help.

What is your display adapter, device driver version and date? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

Pismo will play CD/DVD but not burn them

When I put in blank CDs they will spin fast for while and then quit and nothing shows up on the desktop. So I tried to use iTunes to burn a playlist and when I clicked on burn I got the message disc burner or software not found. I am using 10.2.8 currently as I need to update from original 6 Gb that this came with 6 years ago.

tjpc,
Your Pismo came with a DVD-ROM drive; this is a read-only DVD and CD drive.
If you wish to burn CDs, you want a DVD/CD-RW "combo" drive.
If you wish to burn CDs and DVDs, you want a DVD-/+RW "super" drive.
Both of these drives also read both DVDs and CDs. Here is an example of what you can buy in both kits and complete drives.

Chromebook flash player works except at IMDB, plays audio but not video for movie trailers.

Using Flash version 15.0.0.189.
14 q039 Chromebook
I have been using my new HP Chromebook for a couple of weeks now. Very trouble free and fast, with little bloatware. This leaves me with time to pursue funny little inconvenient glitches like trying to figure out why I have audio and a black video screen in native (small) and full screen modes at IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base). Yes, I tried their FAQ and the Adobe FAQ without a resolution.
I am an old mouse who knows that somebody above the maze that I am in, will know exactly where the cheese is.

I'm having the same problem on both windows and mac OS. This seems to be a bug because QT 7.6.5 plays them fine on either machine, but QT 7.6.6 does not. I have over 2000 files encoded using h264 which played perfectly before the upgrade. I tried logging in under a different user which does Not work. I notice also when I view them in the finder window there is no poster frame, only the letters MPEG4 under the quicktime logo
I hope this is an easy fix. I don't want to re-encode all those files and upload them to my web gallery.
Help!
Thanks

Is it possible for me to change the email I get notifications from but not my Apple ID?

My Apple ID and primary email address are the same one. I tried changing it but that meant changing my Apple ID, and I don't want to do that. Basically I want to keep my Apple ID the same, but I want the email that's currently my Alternate Email to be my primary email. But not my Apple ID. Does that make sense? Can I do that???
Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

Windows Media Player 12 under Win 7 Pro 64 nolonger able to play DVD

Hello TechNet
"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card."
It seems that I have recently joined the chorus of MS users who have a Media Player DRM issue, where DVD's that would work perfectly well in WMP12 and MCE are nolonger being recognised. The error message above is displayed now, every time a commercial DVD
movie is inserted into the DVD drive where WIN 7 Pro 64 autoplay is used to open WMP12, The instruction to update video drivers is also not the solution.
Considering that I have until recently, been able to play DVD with my current NVIDIA driver 314.22Whql (now updated to 332.21Whql) and my DVD drive remains exactly as before, the Codec's installed with Win7 Pro 64 WMP 12 are unchanged and were working
fine. I do not know now what has caused the removal of DRM or the suggestion that my MPEG2 codecs can nolonger allow access to commercial DVD content.
I have tried all the suggestions raised about this issue from other MS users and MPV's in the forum, I have renamed the DRM folder and reset Windows Media DRM as directed. I have checked for a suitable MPEG2 codec/decoder on my system of which I have
several choices, including the one installed with Win 7 Pro 64 / WMP 12.
I have checked to see if I have a region issue with my DVD drive, and can confirm that the DVD drive will play DVD content when Playing DVD with "NERO 9 Showtime", this proves to me that the codec/DVD decoder is working in
my system, I then try Win 7s MCE (Media Center) and WMP12, the result is a black unresponsive screen in MCE, and the error message noted above in WMP with a black screen in the player.
I would like to know if MS are working on a rectification for the issue, as none of the proposed solutions deliver any functionality back to MS default DVD players. Is there an update in the works to provide a definitive solution for WMP12 and MCE DVD functionality.
Could you provide any new ideas, other than those already proposed to regain DVD function under MS default DVD programs.
Cheers Jeff

Hi Sengupta,
Yes I have already tried - Reset DRM using the method described in a post by another MS MPV here in the forum.
This is the method I used :
1. First open My Computer go to Tools>FolderOptions>View> uncheck >Hide Protected Operating System Files >
so that I can see the DRM folder and its contents.
2. Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM >Delete the contents of the DRM folder, these hidden files and the Cache folder with its contents. (Cache,
blackbox.bin, drmstore.hds, IndivBox.key,
IndivBox_64.key, v2ksndv.bla, v3ks.bla,
v3ks.sec) DRM folder empty ready for DRM Reset via web link.
3. Go to start menu Find InternetExplorer > right Click icon select > Run as Administrator > Blank Web page opens > I then paste the link provided (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp)
into the Url space > click Enter > a web page for Windows Media Technologies (Security Component Upgrade) opens.
4. I then click on the 'Upgrade Button' and wait for it to search for upgrade components (Progress Status: Upgrading security components.... ), A download dialog then appears asking me to proceed. I then click 'Upgrade' and wait for it to
finish downloading & installation
(Progress Bar). . The install then completes saying the upgrade was successful I then click 'Done' close Browser and restart Computer.
5. I then recheck inside the DRM folder that I had erased - the new downloaded files and Cache Folder with contents are all back inside the folder, as expected.
6. Upon restart I place a DVD that I know was working before into the DVD drive and wait, the DVD autostarts WMP12 with the onscreen DVD Disk navigation menu appearing. I then click 'Play' with in the menu option, to begin the
Movie.
7. The resulting error reappears when clicking Play
"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder,
and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card."
I will try once more to Reset the DRM using the Tool you have linked to, and follow your instruction exactly. Will see how it goes! ............stay tuned
It would be much appreciated If you could research which MS update has broken DRM, the recent updates which I can think of right now would be :
nVidia - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3, Other hardware - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
now replaced by Nvidia v332.21Whql Drivers.
Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems
Possibly,
Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 64bit ( which I have had to remove, rolling back to IE10 to allow use in another Forum without errors and glitches). something about IE11 Browser is not right, maybe a security component from IE11
has interfered with DRM (Just guessing though)
But I think it is more than likely a security update that was downloaded and installed at the same time as these other major Microsoft Update offerings.

Dvd player 3.2 unable to play burned dvd- Any suggestions?

Hello all,
I'm trying to play a burned dvd movie on my dvd player 3.2, but the dvd player doesn't automatically start playing it. My ibook, 10.2.8, doesn't seem to be able to read it. However, I tried the dvd on a new Mac and it works.
Any suggestions on what to do, besides buying a new Mac? Thanks!

I can't find the "post new topic" so I'm choosing
"reply" and hoping someone can help.
The new topic button is at the root level of each forum (like iDVD 5 or iDVD 6) towards the upper left corner. You won't see it when you are looking at someone else's messages.
I have an iMac, 10.2.8, with a DVD Player 3.2 that
has been working fine for several years.
The last few weeks when I put in a commercially made
DVD, it won't play. It doesn't automatically show up
on the desktop, and when I manually open the DVD
Player, it doesn't read the disk although the program
opens without problem. This isn't happening to all
commercial DVDs, but most.
This isn't happening to all commercial DVDs - Doesn't sound like a problem with Apple's DVD Player application - you may have a dirty lens in your DVD drive.

We have an "old school" DVD player (Sony dvp-nc80v) that plays music throughout our home. Is there a connector that we can purchase to hook-up our iPhone or MacBook Air to also play music until we buy some new equipment?

We have an "old school" DVD player (Sony dvp-nc80v) that plays music throughout our home via connection to multiple embedded speakers. Is there a connector/piece of hardware that we can purchase to hook-up our iPhone or MacBook Air to also play music until we buy some new equipment?

A crude but effective way would ,assuming the Sony has an AUX in ,
is a stereo bluetooth receiver
plugs into aux and recives music over B/T from
the iPhone etc ,as used by many in vehicle
For instance as an example

Apple's DVD Player: audio in-sync. External DVD Player: audio out of sync

I exported my Sequence from FCP to QT, used compressor to make m2v and ac3 (Dolby) files, then used DVD SP to burn a DVD.
When I play the DVD on my Mac Pro using Apple's DVD Player, MPEG Streamclip or VLC, the audio is in sync with respect to the images, FCP's Canvas and FCP's QT export.
But when I play the DVD using any of three different external DVD players, the audio momentarily drifts out of sync by 30 to 40 frames, near the end of my 30-minute program, but is back in sync after about a minute, when the shot at hand ends and the next shot begins.
More specifically, it's as if the video lags by about 30 to 40 frames, but there is no stuttering or other obvious visual sign that this is happening.
Why would Apple's DVD Player, MPEG Streamclip or VLC play the audio in sync while these external DVD Players play it out of sync?
I should add that in order to verify that the TVs to which the external DVD players are attached are not the source of the problem, I monitored the audio using headphones connected directly to the audio outputs of the DVD Players as well as connected to the headphone jacks of the TVs, and there was no difference, i.e. in both cases, the audio drifts out of sync momentarily, as I describe above.
I can only think that DVD SP is muxing the m2v and ac3 file in such a way that software DVD players can demux it without difficulty, but hardware DVD players cannot.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Please tell us what was wrong.

Is it possible for us to configure that deletion of a sales order is not po

Hi Guru's,
Is it possible for us to configure that deletion of a sales order is not possible? The requirement is that Sales Order should not be allowed in the SAP to be deleted from the system, and user should not be able to do it.
Please let me know, if this is possible and what is the way to do it.
Points will be awarded.
Regards
Amit Shrivastava

Hi Amit
Better approach Basis Guys to create user profiles and Roles to the users
In SAP its not able to delete the sales orders permanently.
So, its better to create User Profiles and Roles for the user to access the list of Sales orders

My Theme disappears from the DVD after I burn it on to a disc. I know it's there but my DVD player doesn't "see" it. How do I burn an iDVD that will play the theme?

It sure is. It also plays on my PC using VLC Player. So, I know that it was burned onto the DVD.

No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:
