Laptop reads but won't play dvds

I have a Toshiba Satellite C875-S7303. When I put a dvd in the drive, I can go into my computer it won't let me play it as a dvd. All I can do is look at the files on the dvd itself. It used to work then it suddenly stopped. Am I missing a driver or something?

Hi! I'm sorry but I'm not understanding what your problem is. Your saying your PC sees the DVD and reads it,but it won't play. What do you have on the DVD that your trying to play? Do you have other DVD's that you can try. Are you trying to play music or vidios on your player. If the problem is on all DVD's, then we can start from there. I'm not one to start changing drivers unless it's neccesarry. Have you tried any of the trouble shooting methods that are available and are on your operating system. W7 Or W8??. If you know when your problem started, can you restore to a earlier time when every thing was working??
PS If you want to see if you have the lastest drivers. Zip file made with PSR.
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

  • IMac won't play DVDs but will play CDs

    For some reason my late '09 iMac won't play DVDs, at least not often. I was watching a DVD on it yesterday, left the disc in to go downstairs, and when I came back it wouldn't play again. It now doesn't even recognise that there is a DVD in it, but just spits it out again after a few seconds. I imported a couple of CDs to iTunes with it yesterday, it generally seems fine with CDs, but it has a big problem with DVDs. Any ideas on what I can do to solve this?

    Hi Marcus
    It sounds like the DVD drive heads have gone out of position and the drive needs to be replaced. Contact your dealer or Apple.

  • I downloaded a song from i-tunes.  It plays on my computer, but won't play on my i-phone.  Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how can I re-download the song without getting charged a second time.  I could not find an option to "report a problem".

    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Video with JWPlayer does load, but won't play and no error message (as plug-in needed) apear. What's the problem?

    video's with JWPlayer start loading but won't play and stay black with a rolling wheel. The player is shown and even full screen can be activated.
    There is no message for a missing plug-in.

    Do you see an error message about this in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Command+Shift+K)?
    Is there a shield or other extra icon on the left end of the location bar indicating that content is blocked?

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
    How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

    I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all  my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

    If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • 'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output.  Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure.  Ideas????

    'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G)  is selected for output.  Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure.  Ideas????

    Thank you for the replies.
    Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>>   > II   <<I,   plus volume slider)  on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
    All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged.  When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
    Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

  • ITunes imports file, but won't play

    I upgraded to 7.5, but now files (AIFF, WAVE, MP3) that I've downloaded from the Internet won't play (both free and purchased ones). When I double-click on the file, iTunes will open and draw it into the library, but won't play it. I see that other people have had similar problems, but haven't found an answer....Anyone had any luck solving this yet?

    I purchased one from SoundDogs.com. I double-checked their FAQ, and re-downloaded their file. It works now. I'll have to check the others...

    OOur internet service is not always fast enough to stream directly on Apple TV which is why we want to use AirPlay from the iPad to Apple TV.   When we try to play a movie it starts for one second and then crashes out.   This does not happen with every TV show - we watched 8 episodes of Season 4 with no problem, but it would not play episode 9 or episode 1 of season 5.

  • My mac won't play dvd's and the region won't reset. This has never happened before and I've never had to change the region

    my mac won't play dvd's and the region won't allow me to set it. nVer had to touch this before. Has come out of the blue

    Perhaps the lens is dirty.  Try cleaning it with a DVD lens cleaning disk, shoot some compressed air into the slot or use a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) wrapped around a business card and insert it gently into the slot.

I've tried deleting the album from iTunes and re downloading it then syncing but it doesn't appear to affect the information shown the iPod. The album neither deletes nor updates.
