Mat****a UJ-846s drive doesn't play CDRs and DVDRs

I think the drive is a Mat****a drive, uj-846s.
It used to play and read CDRs and DVDRS but now it doesn't.
How can i fix this?
The computer doesn't even aknowledge there is a disk in the drive now when i put one in unless its blank.

It looks a little bit like a hardware problem. What do you think?
Before I will suggest the CD/DVD drive replacement you should remove the drive from device manager and should reboot the notebook.
After new reboot the OS will install the CD/DVD drive again
Furthermore you should access the registry and should remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Last bbut not least you should try different CD and DVD mediums.
If this wil nto help the chances are that the drive malfunctions and must be replaced.

Flash Player doesn't play smoothly and out of sync in full screen

Hello! Everyone
The flash player (11.2.202.235) does not play smoothly and in full screen audio and vidoe is out of sync. I didn't use to have any problem at all, it only started about two weeks ago and since then despite trying various things (i.e. disabling hardware excelration, uninstalling & reinstalling, trying various browsers etc.) has not resolved the issue. I don't know why it has suddenly stopped playing smoothly as I have not installed any software recently which might have cuased this.
I am using Windows XP (service pack3) and have dual partion with dual operating system (both XP). There is the same problem on both operarting system and flash player won't run smoothly on either of them. Although my computer and graphics card is quite old but the downloaded movies/DVD playback is fine even in full screen. It runs smoothly and audio&video is in sync so I don't think it could my the graphics card.
As I mentioned I have tried all the browsers but without any luck. The BBC iplayer plays ok most of the time if not in full screen but as soon as you make it full screen the vidoe is more like a slide show and very jittery and audio&video gets out of sync. Same with youtube vidoes, they play ok when not in full screen but the video in full screen does not play smoothly and audio&vidoes gets out of sync. However the ITV player & Channel 4 content on 4OD does not even play smoothly when not in full screen and the video&audio is out of sync all the time.
It would be really helpful if anyone can suggest anything to resolve this issue as I have not been able to find anything on the internet to solve the problem and its driving me up the wall. Although I have tried to include as much details as I could think of so please let me know if I have missed any details that could be crucial in order to identify the problem.
Thank you very much for reading this and taking the time to reply and your feedback.

Would you mind opening a new bug on this at bugbase.adobe.com? Please include your dxdiag report, a specific URL and a link to this forum thread.
In the meantime, you might want to try our 11.3 beta or rollback to a previous version of the player to see if that resolves the problem.
Thanks,

Firefox doesn't play video and audio, cann't download anything!

A very strange problem occurred a few days ago. I didn't pay attention on it at first ( I thought it was caused by my provider) but now I found that it's a real problem. Firefox doesn't play video or audio. For instance, it starts loading and that's all. The same is with playing music. In addition, I can't download any files and view a big image as quick as early.
What is more interesting sometimes Firefox just begins to work in ordinary way.

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

Ipod nano 3rd generation doesn't play music and doesn't synchronize with itunes

I have a ipod nano 3rd generation ( 8 GB) and it suddenly stopped playing music. The ipod doesn't play music even if I choose another song and the ipod doesn't synchronize with itunes anymore. I did a reset of the ipod and I installed itunes new but the synchronization doesn't works.

Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

Ipod touch 4 keeps freezing/doesn't show wi-fi/doesn't play music and videos

I was just gonna play on my ipod touch 4g,and then when i tap on the app,it crashes the game and freezes.It was perfectly fine yesterday though.And when i restart the syetem and try to do something it freezes again,or if i tap the home button it freezes.It also doesn't show the wi-fi bar and i have wi-fi on and have a router.it also doesn't play music or videos and the sound works.Do you think i should get something new?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

If a song doesn't play fully and I already downloaded it what should I do

Hi for some reason I downloaded a song called Fly Rich by Rich Gang and for some reason it only plays 6 seconds of it when it says it has the entire song downloaded what should I do because if it doesn't get fixed I will for surely be one unhappy customer.

Delete your current copy, don't "hide in iCloud" if prompted, then go to Store > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer, and download again. Close iTunes and reopen if the track isn't listed. If the problem persists use the "Report a problem" links from Store > View My Account > Purchase History.

My iPod doesn't play songs, and is not recognized by iTunes

Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?

Itunes doesn't play certain songs and just stops working

it was fine a couple of weeks ago but now it just doesn't play some songs and whenever I doule click those songs it went straight to "Itunes has stopped working." and I have to close the program. Today I just bought a song from Itunes store and it doesn't play either and Itunes stops working as well!!
Please help. this is so annoying.

External usb drive doesn't appear correctly connected via usb to Time Capsule

After using it successfully for months over my home LAN by connecting it via FW800 (and suing filesharing) to a stationary MacBook Pro, I'm attempting to connect a 2 TB Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 hard drive (in a Rosewill quad-interface enclosure with Oxford semiconductor bridge chip) via USB cable to my third-generation Time Capsule. It is formatted as HFS+ with a GUID partition table.
It appears in Airport Utility and mounts correctly, but none of its folders appears. Have tried two different USB cables with the same results.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

So do I. I have a 350 GB Maxtor One Touch external harddrive. When I boot the mac, the drive doesn't show. And if I run the AirPort Disk Utility, it shows by name. But no matter what settings I chose, it doesn't mount and it says "No Disk Found" in the menu.
But here comes the interesting bit: If I turn off the harddrive, and turn it back on again, AirPort Disk Utility finds it. So I think the problem has to do with the harddrive spinning down and going into sleep-mode. For some reason it seems to become invisible to the Extreme-box when doing so. But if that's correct, what the heck do I do about it?

My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

1st song on all my cds breaks up or doesn't play

All the others songs work perfectly, but the first makes crackling sounds, or doesn't play for like 10 secs or a minute. When it starts playing, and I drag the timer back to the start of the song it works fine, but it nevers works if I just double click the song. Any ideas?

MrDew,
Let's start with this knowledge base article,

Sometimes it's just an audio driver problem.
If that doesn't help, I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.

ITunes doesn't play.... what's up??

Ok, this is weird but I'm afraid the answer might be both obvious and tragic. All of a sudden, iTunes quit working completely, except that everything about it looks perfectly normal. It's not frozen, I can click on my playlists, I can drag the time bar and everything else, but that it doesn't play music, which is sort of an important part of iTunes. The play button does nothing other than briefly turn blue. It doesn't switch to the pause button and the time doesn't start to run. The space bar and the play tab in the menu do nothing either.
I've tried installing the latest version of iTunes, I'm now using 6.0.4. The upgrade didin't help. Everything had been fine until all of a sudden yesterday I couldn't get it to work. Now, the only problem I can think of is something sort of badand scary.... the disk utility has been telling me for a year now that my hard drive "has reported a fatal error." But so far everything has been working fine. Is there something about a fatal error that could keep the play button from working? I know fatal errors are serious, but this hasn't been causing any problems.... I've just been holding my breath for a year, and backing up a lot.
Are there any suggestions anybody can make, other than getting a new iBook, which is a sweet idea but out of the question at the moment?

Since you installed a new version, it's unlikely the iTunes application is the culprit.
The only thing I can thinks of at the moment, is deleting the iTunes preference files.
Drag the next files in ~/users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences to the desktop:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
com.apple.iTunes.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist (x-es are characters and numbers)
The last file is located in the Byhost folder of the above mentioned path.
Run iTunes and try again to play a song.
Hope this helps.

Optical drive doesn't work all the time

My optical drive doesn't mount movies i bought on dvds. IT'S like it has a mind of its own, it only plays movies when it feels like it and forget any install dvds like Snow Leopard, printers etc...! What's the problem with it? I cleaned it and all my dvds are like brand new, no scratches or any thing.

DVD drive does not play blu-ray

I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have been trying for the last several days to get my DVD drive to read blu-ray's. It is an HP DV-7 1038ca and there is a Blu-Ray symbol on the drive. When I put a BD in the drive, it cannot read it at all and says there is no disc in the drive. It plays regular movies and I have never had any problems with it.
I have taken some of the earlier suggestions to people with similar problems. I tried Matz_Run.dvd.exe and it told me I had a problem. It said I can read HD-ROM but it would not recognize the disc in the drive. I dried some Cyberlink software to detect BD and BD-3D technology (I forget what it was called) and it said that everything except "software" was functioning. I have loaded the latest HP Quickplay and that did not work. Then I saw that Mediasmart's latest version was actually the replacement. I downloaded Mediasmart from the HP website (as I did not have it before this), then I installed it and upgraded it to the latest edition directly within the software. My computer still refuses to acknowledge there is a disc in the drive when I put an HD disc in. The discs I am trying to read is a 4-part series from BBC vvideo called PLANET EARTH. I have no other BluRay discs currently at my disposal. I even tried changing the country code just in case and this did not work.
Then I tried Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 Ultra Mark II as this also seems to have BD capability, but same thing, total failure. With the Cyberlink detection program, I get the idea that it works, but perhaps it does not. Is it possible that my BD laser is malfunctioning? Is there any way to check? Or perhaps the issue is something else (other than frustrating). I am running Windows 7 Home 64-bit. I am using MS Security Essentials for protection and Spybot S&D. I cannot think of any other specs to give you at this time, so feel free to ask if I left something out.
Please help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Does the drive still recognise and play DVDs and CDs? If so, I'm afraid it does look like this may be a hardware issue with the BD laser.
One further thing to try is to open the drive and carefully clean both lenses and check again, but if this doesn't help, you may want to start considering replacing the Drive.

DP-K

Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
Thanks for any thoughts!
