One dvd not working?

i just got a dvd from amazon and when i put it into my disc drive, the dvd player application opened and then quickly 'quit unexpectedly.' i tried reopening the program several times with no success, and when i put in another dvd that i've already watched on my computer, everything ran fine. any suggestions? please? i feel like i just flushed 20 bucks down the toilette.

Try the disc in another machine. Then you'll know if it's the disc or the drive.

I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and thats the only email address I have... What can I do?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

I have lost the remote that was paired. I bought another remote, but the procedure to pair the new one does not work. I suspect the the AT will work with only one remote at-a-time and i have to unpaid the first before pairing the second. How do I unpair?

N97 one speaker not working anymore

Just noticed one side not working

my speaker broke too. lol i cant believe this phone even has hardware "bugs"!!!! i mean software...everybody uses the same software (assuming they have the same version). but for people to come across the same hardware problems?! this is new... anyways my speaker was broken (dunno how it happened)... it wasnt the software. i had to replace it (and pay for it BTW!) and its now working.
p.s.
"its time to make use of your warranty". yeah... that doesnt really work for everyone because the biggest cellphone company in the world has decided NOT to give international warranty for some reason... so for those of us who bought their phone abroad because it was cheaper there (like... ME!) the warranty doesnt neccessarily apply in their country so they have to pay for that kind of stuff where they have only had the phone for a few months.
GIVE NOKIA USERS INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY!
this is ridiculous! a company like nokia cant even give international warranty?! common!

Why will a Leopard backup DVD not work on G5.

A couple of Leopard issues:
1, When I a make a dvd backup of my Leopard dvd using either Disk Utility or Toast it will work fine on the intel but will be spit out of the G5. The G5 cannot make double layer so I must rely on a computer that does! My G4 can make double layer but it is 400 miles away now! When is a copy not a copy?
2, Leopard disk utility repair permissions takes a long long time. It gives the errors discussed on other posts but why such a long time?? By the way, the Diskwarrior site gives some cautions about repairing permissions but does not address the inordinate amount of time, with respect
to Tiger, issue.
Other than the above and some applications no longer launching or working properly I appear to have two stable systems working. As I have done for years I install a new OS on an external drive, find out what works and what don't and in a few weeks upgrade the main drive. I usually use Supperdupper but found out it does not work on Leopard, a least for me! So I have not yet figured out how to make an archive copy of a Leopard system. Hard drives are like people, they eventually die. I have not tried a restore using Time Machine so I do not have any faith in it yet!

The fact that your G5 cannot make a dl DVD means nothing. I am sure it can read it, and that's all that counts. If you can play a movie on the G5, it can read a dual-layer DVD. You have some other issue there.
I would also point out that not all DVD DL blanks are equal and some machines can only read the + and some only the - types. A homemade dual-layer DVD is not the same as a commercial one.

This is a known "issue" which has been discussed here many times. We do not know why it takes a long time. Only Apple knows.

Have you looked into CarbonCopy which claims to be Leopard compatible?

Problem using backup - one device not working.

Greetings,
I'm not able to use all backup devices. I made a backup using two dvd-r and one cd-r.
One of the dvds and the cd worked perfectly, but the second dvd does not work. There are no scratches or dust on the surface.
I tried both of my cd-drives.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance,
Schneesperling

DVD not working.

I burned a DVD I made that had videos from iMovie but the DVD is not working. The DVD is in 16:9 and in a 7.0 theme. The iMovies are 960x540 (and 1280x720 which didn't work either.) I burned one DVD with only 960x540 (.mov) movies and another DVD with only 1280x720 movies but neither of them worked. The main DVD menu doesn't even show up. The CDs I used are DVD-R. Anyone have any suggestions on how it can work?? I'm completely stuck.

Hi
In iMovie ? No - can't figure how that would work.
*Play all resp one chapter at a time in iDVD*
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easies and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Never tested though.
• Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.

Tiger 10.4.2 Installation DVD Not Working

I a few months ago I had to repair my startup disk (Error: Volume Header needs minor repair).
I rebooted using the 10.4.2 Install DVD supplied with my ibook.
I held down the C key during the restart and continued to hold it down. After about 30 seconds the optical drive stopped spinning and kicked out the DVD. The computer then booted using the startup disk on my hard drive.
I contacted applecare and they sent me out a replacement set of 10.4.2 DVDs. I used them and they worked fine (I only used them once).
After few days ago I encountered the same error on my hard drive (Error: Volume Header needs minor repair). I tried both sets of install DVDs (install disk 1) but the optical drive kicked the DVDs out when attempting reboot.
I called applecare and they advised me to take it into a service centre as it could be the Logic Board playing up.
This morning I thought I would try the install disks again. Whilst the original install disk did not work, the replacement one did and I was able to repair the startup disk on my hard drive.
Can someone please advise me what is going on?
Please note: My ibook reads audio CDs and movie DVDs properly with no problem.
Many thanks

If I were you, I would bring it in for service, as suggested. If you've got the right disk, and a new one at that, it shouldn't spit it out even if it couldn't startup from it.

Replacement install DVDs not working (possible serial number problem?)

I have been sent two sets of Mac OS X install DVDs as my old disk 1 was too scratched by my (now replaced) faulty optical drive.
I asked for a disk 1 and disk 2 replacement and they sent them.
First of all i dont know which is disk 1 or 2 as they arent written on the disk, only "Macbook pro Mac OS X install dvd" and "Mac OS X install dvd"
The first set disk 1 serial number was - 2Z691-5841-A
The second set disk 1 serial num was - 2Z691-5948-A
My ORIGINAL disk 1 serial number is - 2Z691-5967-A
My question is do the serials matter if it is still OS X?
I attempted to install with both these and the Macbook PRo stayed on Grey screen then just spat them both out, where as with my original it goes through the install process (but can not finish due to the scratches)
I called Apple again today when i got them and he said it was the laptop, however i know it isnt as my original disk boots to the install screen where as theirs dont, he said he would send the version of disk with my original serial and see if this works.
So.....does the serial matter? I think he said there are three "versions" of disk 1, and my understanding was you can not use any of these unless it is with that specific version also of macbook pro.
Thanks

I purchased it directly from Apple on the Apple website.
I told the guy at applecare the number on my original install disk 1 and he said he would send that one.
Then i called again later to ask if they needed the serial of my actual macbook pro, he took it and said it looks like they have already ordered the correct CD.
I HOPE it will be here Friday, waiting yet another week.
If it does not work i cant think of anything, my originml works and the laptop has NOTHING installed on it, free hard drive....soooo all i can think of is taking it to an apple store with ALL the disks they have sent me and see if they know whats going on.

Deleted messages remove after one day (one week, one month) not working

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to iOS 7 automatic email cleanup does not seem to be working?
I have an IMAP email account set up with the following setting: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, [then tap the email account in question] > Account > Advanced > Deleted Messages Remove > After one week
I have had that configuration on my iPhone and iPad for a very long time, and it always deleted everything out of my deleted messages folder (which, on my system, is called Trash) that was older than one week. It would do this no matter when the message was actually deleted, and no matter whether I deleted it on my iPhone, my iPad, on a computer using Outlook, or through a web interface. (It actually would have been nice to retain a message I had just deleted for the one-week period in case I changed my mind; instead the way it worked was if I deleted a message that was received months ago, it would be removed from Trash almost right away. But it worked consistently.)
Now, since iOS 7, it does not appear to be cleaning out that folder at all. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm not sure if it's not removing any messages, or if it's just not removing messages I delete on another platform (like Outlook). So today I've done a test with a specific message that I will watch over the next little while to see how it works. But in the meantime I thought I'd ask if anyone else has noticed this, and if there is a solution.

Really nobody?
Is this working properly for people? It's not working for me on either my IMAP account or on an iCloud email accout, so I think iOS 7 broke something here. I've submitted a bug report on the feedback form, but it would be nice to know I'm not alone.

One earphone not working in Macbook pro

For some reason the audio output on my macbook pro is only working on one earphone. It is not the earphones as I have tried other earphones and the same thing happens. I had a problem recently with the output not working at all...and there was a red light coming out of the headphone jack. But the red light ended up going away on its own...and the sound came back. However...there is still only sound coming out of one earphone.

Hi again.
Nice website, except the wma files.
It is the right workflow to monitor what you mix before sending the material to the mastering studio. Although if you use Logic Pro 8 then you have compressor and can make this mastering by yourself (if you want to).
I try to say it easy: Without Light you can't paint, without suitable equipment you can't monitor an surround-mix. Only stereo is possible with your hardware. You can mix in surround in logic and listen in stereo. This is not optimal but the only chance to do this without buying an audio interface with minimum 6 outputs.

One speaker not working

HI,
It is hardly one week that i bought a HP Pavilion dv6 3043tx laptop . one of laptop speaker is not working .
i don't understand after spending a lot of money on brand new hp laptop. it is showing with problems . what is the use of purchasing hp. iwould have gone for some other company.
could anyone help me soving this speakers issue.
thanks

To do that click start, in the search box type Sound. Once is show up in the search result, click on it. Click on the default Audio Device and click properties
Now with the Speakers Properties window open, click on Levels tab and click Balance. Now check for the volume level on the Left Channel...
If that does not work, Reinstall the Audio card driver and check, if that does not work getting your notebook check by an HP Authorized service provider

Satellite P300 - One Key not working on keyboard

Hi all,
Does anyone have a suggested solution to fix a key not working on my laptop? One letter on my keyboard "the letter b" has stopped working.
Laptop is Satellite P300- "PSPCA-01U013"
Thanks :)

Hi Ricco1,
The problem is that single keys cant be replaced so if a certain key doesnt work its time to replace the whole keyboard but dont worry, new keyboards are not so expensive. Just get in contact with an authorized service provider and ask for a new keyboard, the guys are able to order a new one and they can replace it for you if cant do this yourself.
