Optical drive can be read on Windows, but not on Mac OSX. Software issue?

My optical drive has not been able toread blank/burned Cds/DVDs for some time now on my Mac Mini 2010 running Mavericks. This problem first occured with Snow Leopard about a year ago (Never had Lion/Mountain Lion). At first I thought it was a hardware issue, until I booted up Windows 7 and it read the disc just fine. I have reset the PRAM, I have tried other discs, I have tried those discs on other computers (it obviously will work on this computer, just not OSX). I have seen similar issues to this in the past but no one seems to have tried/noticed if it works on the same computer with a different OS. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
It's the same problem in the other feed.

Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

AIRPORT WORKS ON WINDOWS BUT NOT ON MAC OSX

I own a Mac Mini Intel and I have installed Windows XP with bootcamp. In Windows XP I can connect to my wireless router (and Internet)without problem, but not in Mac OSX. I had this problem with the 10.4.x version, and although I have upgraded to Leopard, the problem continues the same. I can access the router in Windows and change any settings (I say that for if someone knows the solution and it includes changes in the router). Has someone had this problem before? Has someone any solution to this problem? Thank you.

Yes i Seem to be experiencing a similar problem as you, in which connecting to a router on OS X is easy but as soon as i try it on windows xp it cannot establish a connection but my router is already connectingto other windows pcs. Maybe this is because windows cannot recognizethe built in airport, or perhaps it needs to be configured in a way to work with both Xp and os X

My phone is not showing up in itunes. I want to sync it. I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes. What do I do now? It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac. Help!

With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

Why is my library available in windows but not in MAC

Why am I not able to share my ipod library from my Windows formatted computer to my Mac? My library shows up in my Gateway system but not in Mac. where's my music?

I would also like to know why Verizon does not carry WPXJ 51 (ION Television) from Batavia for all WNY customers? All other cable and satelite providers carry the channel. The only explanation I can think of is that for some strange, bizarre reason Verizon thinks that WPXJ is local to Batavia and is OUTSIDE the Buffalo and WNY viewing area. However, this is absolutely FALSE because it does not require anymore than a standard digital over the air antenna to bring WPXJ in and receive channels 51.1, 51.2, 51.3, 51.4, 51.5, 51.6 in crystal clear HD picture and sound. Though, I would still greatly like to be able to watch ION Television (WPXJ 51.1) on Verizon FiOS though.
C'mon Verizon, get real and wise up- Batavia is NOT outside the local WNY viewing area and should be covered inside WNY. Are there any other more closer ION afiliates for Buffalo? No, because anyone with an OTA can get WPXJ from Batavia.
ION says it should be carried on channel 21, and hopefully then 521 for HD. So, Verizon- WHERE IS THE CHANNEL? There is currently NOTHING on these channels. ION says we should find their channel here, but we don't. Do we need to get ION to contact you about it or will you just get smart and add it on your own soon?
Now would be the best time to get ION for their original holiday movies. Please add it very soon. Thank you!

Ipod reads in windows but not on a mac

my mac cant read any windows formatted ipods (which unfortunatly happens to be all of the ones i own).
it is not read in finder, or itunes. but it works perfectly fine on a windows computer. I have used it before on a mac, and it worked great, but my logic bored fried and i just reinstalled os X 10.4.10
any ideas?
thank you

I see what you mean about your text being screwy. This is one of those situations where you would actually prefer than iWeb convert your text to image. Perhaps you are indeed using a "web-safe" font, but that font must actually be slightly different on Mac vs. PC platforms. Maybe try a different size for your font....maybe one size up? Try to use one of the natural sizes...they seem to go in even numbers.
If all else fails, you can apply a drop shadow to your text or something and let iWeb convert it to a graphic. Might make your site load slower, though.

New shuffle works with Windows but not with Mac

Just got a new 2nd gen shuffle. Initially it was formatted as Fat32 per Disk Utility on Mac. I reformatted to Mac OS (journaled). iTunes was recognizing the new shuffle on the mac and I created a playlist that showed it took up disk space in the "summary" tab. However nothing played on the shuffle when I disconnected it. I was trying to update the software but that function is greyed out. I tried to click "enable disc use" and when I applied it, it says it can't find the ipod. It wont let me update anything. The only thing I can do is create a playlist that the summary says is on the ipod but it doesnt play.
I then connected it to my Windows XP machine and it asked me to reformat the drive, which I did, then everything worked flawlessly. I would really prefer to download things to the shuffle from my Mac than Windows XP but it just won't let me. I tried using "iPod Updater" and the most recent one from the list was 03/2006 and that didn't help anyhting. "iPod Reset Utility" would not recognize the ipod to reset it even after I sucessfully set it to Mac OS journaled in Disk Utility.
I am very frustrated. This also happened to my Nano I purchased a few months ago and I have to organize it on the PC as well.
I am running iTunes 7.2

I have exactly the same problem with my two
computers, both of which are Macs. The shuffle is
recognised on one, but not the other.
Here's a screenshot of iTunes ->
http://www.simongbrown.com/blog/images/2007/shuffle-no
t-recognised.png
BTW, I also have an older white iPod in use on the
Mac that doesn't work.
I've tried a few things (including running iTunes
under a different user account, reinstalling iTunes)
but nothing seems to help. The only thing left to do
is reinstall the OS, but that sounds a little extreme!
That's way too extreme... Use the shuffle Reset Utility.

Iso image playing in windows, but not in mac

torrent site for the iso image is:
http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/119383481/ccie?tab=summary#.UGby8mg1FFI
it's a cisco network concept tutorial, it is playing on a windows laptop on windows xp, vista or 7.
I understand that wmv player cannot be played in mac osx, there is a suggestion to run either wine or flip4mac
wine, i am so sorry to be a pain but I get keep getting error messages during installation and it is not successful.
flip4mac I was able to install but I can't seem to make the iso work,
it mounts perfectly displaying 3 files:
autorun.inf
files
index.hta
clicking index.hta will display the website with all the lessons on the left side, click on it and it will play the video on the website, it works on windows but I can't seem to make it work in Safari.
I tried Opera, the website seems to appear but not all of the words, when I click for the lessons on the left side, it only opens an opera browser on a black blank browser.
Please help since I have just shifted to Mac this month, I tried Mac because I believe I can run GNS3 better in it.
Pardon for my MAC ignorance,
from your MAC noob.

It reformatted itself? I've never heard of that before.
Like I said earlier, if the iPod is Windows formatted it should work on a Mac because Macs are capable of handling FAT32 files. If it's Mac formatted it won't work on Windows without the aid of 3rd party add on software.
I'm still puzzled as to whether or not you need to sync the iPod to iTunes on both Mac and Windows computers.
Have you seen these?
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.

Can send email from iphone but not from mac.

Hi. I'm using a mac desktop and the mail app. I can receive email, but not send. I checked my port and id/pswd and still cannot send. After the app tries to send, it says the server is offline.
I am able to send email fine with my iphone.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've checked this and mail connection doctor says I am connected - think I am going to have to get someone in to help me as I have spent about 4 hours on this now :-(

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

ICloud for Windows, but not for Mac?

How is it possible that iCloud is working on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, but not on Snow Leopard?
I am unable to upgrade to Lion due to CPU limitation.
Are we Snow Leopard users suppose to accept this?

Yes but if it did, I assume those of us that have upgraded to Lion would be missing features because of backwards compatability, which wouldn't be right.

Ipod nano, I can see it in windows but not itunes, Tried EVERYTHING!

Please help.
Starting a few weeks ago my six month old ipod stopped being 'seen' by itunes. I can see it on explorer no problem. I have followed all the steps in the support pages, apart from re-installing windows.
However I have found it doesn't work on my main computer of either of my two laptops, which makes me thinks its an ipod problem NOT a computer/windows problem.
I have a shuffle which is working fine on itunes on the same computers.
The only thing I cannot do is restore the nano - because you need an itunes connection to do this.
Can anyone help please?
Ipod Nano. Windows XP itunes 7.02.16

At least I'm not alone in this problem...
I'm in the same boat. My Nano did work with iTunes 7 for a while. The only glitch was that it couldn't update the iPod's software. Since it stopped appearing in iTunes a few weeks ago I've tried everything I can think of (except sending it away) to fix the problem (restart/reset, reinstall iTunes (6 & 7), check services, format comp., change drive letter, etc...). It won't appear in iTunes on other computers either. Further I've run the iPod diagnostics and everything gets a green light. Hardware, software, me? I haven't a clue as to what the problem is. Argh.
I like the music on my iPod but it would be nice if I could listen to something different! I'll have a chance to stop by the store it came from soon but in the mean time...does anybody out there have ideas?

Mail Encrypted by openssl can be read on outlook but not on BB

Is there a way to display this type of encrypted attachment ?

this article does not directly answer your question but is adjacent to it:

Super Drive works on Windows but not on Mac OS X

I used Mac OS X to burn a DVD, used different media but it always spits the DVD out saying an unexpected error occured. Am able to burn to the same DVDs on Windows (Boot Camp).
Unable to find a solution.

You might try pointing JaNeLA *(<- link)* at it, and fixing any errors it reports. Ignore any optimisations suggested. The optimisations are not properly debugged and would not cause the kind of errors you report.
Oh, and a ++++ to that advice to to ensure the console pops open when encountering a web start app. Make sure the code is not [swallowing exceptions|http://pscode.org/javafaq.html#stacktrace] *(<- link)* at any stage.
