OS 10.6.8 dvd player stopped working

OS 10.6.8 dvd player stopped working (stutters - no sound) when I am in my usual log-in but does work in my alternate (checking) log-in, disk permissions repair did not help. I trashed a dvd.plist file from my users/Library/Preferences folder but no change. Any suggestions most welcome.

Thanks for reminding me about VLC Player. I had an old version that I occasionally used for AVIs and such but I hadn't used it for quite awhile. Of course, it works perfectly so I'll take your advice and (sort of) forget about the Apple DVD Player - although I hate having a glitch that I can't get to the bottom of.
For example, removing both of those items made no difference.
Re: the two accounts when in safe mode, DVD Player doesn't work at all in safe mode...
(http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564)
so that didn't get me any farther.
No doubt when I eventually upgrade to Lion the DVD Problem will sort itself out. Until then, I have good ole' VLC. I appreciate the help.

  • My DVD player stopped working on my HP laptop

    I have an HP laptop.
    Model: G72-B6OUS
    Serial:  SCB1012PGL
    When I put a DVD into the laptop it doesn't play.  I tried Windows Media Player, QuikTime and Real Player with no success.
     When I go to Device Manager I see Device Status:  Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
    I tried downloading the device driver and it failed:  HP CDDVDW TS-L633R
    How do I fix this problem?

  • Running 10.6.8 - DVD has stopped working

    Running 10.6.8 - DVD has stopped working, and in system prefs I can't select "Open iDVD" when you insert a video DVD... can I reload iDVD without reloading the whole system software?

    Have you tried deleting the DVD Player preferences and then restarting DVD player to try again? It's possible that the preferences have become corrupted.
    If you want to try that:
    1. Quit DVD Player if it's running
    2. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.dvdplayer.plist file
    3. Restart DVD Player and test to see if the problem is solved.

  • Uninstalling Touchsmart--will webcam and dvd player still work?

    I want to uninstall the touchsmart features on my 610 running Windows 7 Professional.  I do not use touchsmart and the touch capability causes problems--for example, my screen can be messed up, I assume by staic electricit, if a piece of paper is moved near it.
    My question is this:  Will the webcam and dvd player still work after the touchsmart programs are removed.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Hi,
    You can disable it using the following methods. Others will stay and work:

  • Nokia music player stopped working

    I have a Nokia 5500 sport and I have recently put a 2 Gb micro SD card in it. Before I had a 1 Gb micro SD and everything worked just fine. But since I put in the bigger card the music player stopped working. It just closes and does not start up.
    If I look up the music files in the phones exporer I can start the music from their but I cant enter the library from the music player. Whats wrong? I tried to remove the memory card and then it worked. Is a 2 Gb micro SD card too big for the phone?

    Ahh Finally working

  • Adobe flash player stopped working properly please help

    i'm using adobe flash player version10.0.32.18 on vista, and everytime i open my facebook application, i often encountered adobe flash player stopped working properly, then the page will recover, then after few minutes it will stopped then recover again. please someone help me how to solve this problem.

    Hi, Thanks. Your Flash Player files and the SWO(if it is vs 10.0.45.2) are correct. Are you having problems on other sites
    or just that one? Are you getting a message that is different than "you need to update your Flash Player?"
    Many times it is the websites or if you are getting this from a game, then that can be causing the problem. I haven't been
    able to determine if the websites that have NOT updated to support the latest Flash Player are just putting out a generic
    message or not.  You might want to check with the site to see if they support FP vs 10.0.45.2.
    You may have an add on that is conflicting also, it is hard to tell. Some anti-virus programs have add ons that may conflict.
    Since several users are having problems with Facebook, Farmville, Zynga, etc. my opinion is that it is not your computer.
    One that posted here is waiting on a reply.
    Thanks,

  • Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

    windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
    the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
    anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

    The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
    VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

  • Flash Player stopped working for Chrome in Windows 8

    Randomly, the flash player stopped working for Chrome. I run a Windows 8 system. Everytime I go to a website that uses the flash plugin (youtube, video streaming websites) a bar pops up telling me that the plug in will only work in the desktop. I've never encountered this problem before.
    I have:
    1. Checked to see if I needed updates. I'm all updated.
    2. Reinstalled Chrome to try and fix it, to no avail.
    Additionally, when I view the Flash Player settings from my control panel, under Advanced Settings, it says that the plug in version is not installed. However, I'm unable to click on that or click on the settings that say "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)".
    What is going on? I really disllike running Chrome from the desktop and would like this to be fixed.

    Chrome uses its own "proprietary" build of Flash Player, so you WON'T see any plugin in your control panel for it. You verify that it's enabled by typing "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome address bar. I'd provide a screenshot but I've REMOVED Chroime from EVERY system I have because it uses WAY TOO MUCH processor and  it was launching by itself in the background on my Win 8 machine. I won't tolerate that out of ANY software.

  • Linux - after update to firefox 5 64-bit flash player stopped working

    After updating firefox 5 (from stable repo) the flash player stopped working.
    I have had installed the adobe flash player square (64 bit) - by following http://queleimporta.com/en/finally-adobe-releases-native-64-bit-flash-10-for-linux/ ...
    The .so library is still on its place(/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so), though firefox does not seem to have flash player installed.
    before update to firefox 5 it worked
    system is Xubuntu 10.04

    Finally I've found out that it's possible to install flash from lucid repositories (which works... named 'flashplugin installer')... I've never noticed that before... So sorry for asking stupid question and thanks to anyone who spend some time even only by reading this thread.

  • Flash player stops working after a few days.

    I also need links providing Flash player for IE and Firefox which are always updated. I need to first download the installer then install it offline not install it directly from adobe website.

  • My flash player stops working after a reboot.

    My flash player stops working after a reboot. i have flash 12.0.044 installed on a dell laptop with windows 7. The flash works fine until the next day when I restart my computer. If I go to control panel / programs and features I notice that the program is still there but the icon has turned blank. If I re-install it works fine until the next reboot. I have asked the IT services company we work with and they have completely ‘rebuild’ my computer. (Installed new windows etc etc) and still the problem won’t go away.  I am at a loss. Who can help? Thank you so much in advance. Duncan
