OS X 10.5 won't load TDK -R DVDs but 10.4.11 will?

I can't understand why -R TDK DVDs won't load on my Powerbook G4 (15") which is running OS X 10.5, but work perfectly on my wife's Powerbook G4 (12"), we both appear to have very similar internal superdrive's (in System Profiler under Disk Burning mine is shown as a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846 and hers is shown as 845, although my Firmware revision is FAAG while hers is DMP2 but everything else seems to be the same)
Could it be a problem with OS X 10.5, as I am pretty certain these DVDs worked in my machine before I updated to Leopard?
As always any help or suggestions most welcome (as I've just been bought 100 blank DVDs as an Xmas present and it's a pain having to wire up to a disk burner to use them every time) and if it is related to installing Leopard, is there likely to be an upgrade which might resolve the problem any time soon
Wishing one and all a Merry Xmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year
My utmost thanks in advance for taking the trouble to respond
Kind Regards
Bernard

I would suggest trying different media in your 15"...we had the same problem, sometimes certain drives don't like certain media...

  • Firefox won't load any web pages but my other browser will

    I have a few aps on my phonw that won't load onto my phone.  I have the 3G.  But they show up in my itunes account.  Some are double in my itunes, one saying loading or waiting, the others are fine, just not on my phone.  I can't delete them.  When I try to press them they just jiggle and no x shows up.   I tried to delete them via my itunes, they are still on my phone.  What do I  do.  If I factory reset I loose all my calendars and contacts.  Help!!!

  • Page won't load on first try -- but stop then reload works

    Several pages, most notably my.yahoo.com and worldofwar.net won't load on the first attempt. Eventually I get a timeout error. But while the load is trying, if I stop loading manually, then reload, the page finishes loading. It's then fine, until the next wake up after sleep, and it starts all over again.
    I'm also noticing something similar with mail. When I send mail, it goes into the outgoing folder and I get an error that the message couldn't be sent. But if I exit mail and restart it, the pending message is sent without my having to do anything other than restart mail.
    Any clues what to look for? This only began to happen after I moved. The only difference in my configuration is that I'm using a new DSL modem and dynamic IP address from my ISP now, where I was using a static address before with an older model modem.
    I've checked the console logs, before/during/after observing the problem, and no new entries are made.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • My website won't load properly in FF but will in IE - tried solutions - didn't work

    I have 2 websites (1 cloned from the other) that both worked well in FF - until about a month ago.
    www.drydiapersplus.ca
    (landing page now loading properly in FF - but loads properly in IE) and www.drydiapersplus.com (loads properly)
    When I try & open the .ca site - the left panel, top panel and right panel open up correctly - and the top text...but none of the images load up in the bottom 1/2 of the screen in the middle.
    I've tried clearing cache, I've tried CNTRL F5 (hard refresh) - and none of it works.

    ''edited by a moderator to fix the first two hyperlinks - Ed''

    Turns out, after much going back and forth (and having them read your response) - that there was an issue with the security certificate and how the images were all 'secure' images..... so - the host reinstalled the security certificate - or whatever it was they did (I'd complained about this a month ago to my web developer - and was told it was my computer - but when a customer started having the same issues - they looked into it more - and found out it was a security certificate issue).
    Thank you for your help - because it was your information that got my web developer to get on the host and get it fixed. :-)

  • Films won't load on my iPhone but ok on my ipad

    Some of my films old and new wont load onto my iPhone 4 but will load onto my ipad........why is this. I have tried file/convert/create iPod-iPhone version but with no luck. Any ideas?

    Maybe the films are to high a resolution for the iPhone 4 i think the max is 720p but iPad2 and 3 will handle 1080p

  • SP6000 won't boot from a DVD (but does boot from CD)

    Hi,
    It's the second time I try to boot a Linux Live DVD (burnt on DVD-RW), to no avail: the disk spins for a few seconds at several (low) speeds, then the boot reverts to HD. On the contrary, it boots fine from a recovery CD or a Win installation CD (both burnt on CD-RW).
    Is this a known "feature" of the SP6000 BIOS, or of the drive (Toshiba SD-C2502)? Can this be circumvented?
    Thanks for any help.
    L.

    For some reason, I've had to change the BIOS' boot order (typically F2 at start-up) to have the CD/DVD drive in the first position when booting from a DVD in order for the drive to complete the process.  Merely selecting the CD/DVD drive by hitting F12 is insufficient. 
    It appears that the CD/DVD drive either resets or is powered down too quickly to get through the amount of data on a DVD, but a CD is small enough to finish the load.  Reordering the BIOS seems to keep power and attention on the drive though.
    Let me know if that works.
    Everyone has a naughty side...mine gets paid

  • Please help me....Having trouble accessing iTunes store it won't load on my computer but will on Hubbys

    I can't seem to get the iTunes store to load on my computer it lets me go through my playlists and stuff but not the store.  My hubby has no trouble loading the iTunes store on his computer though the only differences between our computers is mine is Windows 7 and his is Vista.....
    Does anyone know or have any ideas on how to fix this issue I'm going crazy trying to solve it cos I just brought a new iPod and it just won't sync properly either.
    Thanking you in advance for any help your able to give

    I am having the same issue... The following are the most common occurances:
    1. Sometimes the progress bar will get to about 45% and then just sit there...
    2. Every once and a while the store will half load but it looks like a poorly scripted website circa 1996... all text and hyperlinks (which don't work i might add.. see number 1.)
    3. iTunes crashes all together when i clock on the store button.
    4. Nothing happens at all... as if it wouldnt have the time to be bothered to load at all.
    For the exhuberant amount of money that I and so many others are throwing at Cupertino, you would think they would have a half decent support team that reponds online... instead of tossing blue shirts onto 12-16 jokers into every store they had as if to say... come on in and lets have a go at this the hard way.
    Frusterated.

  • Firefox won't open, flashes super quickly on screen, won't load on main profile but will load on my daughter's profile

    firefox was working fine. I got an error message about a plugin container. Sent report. Now since then I can't load firefox on my main profile. My 11 year old also has a profile on our notebook and she can access her firefox, but mine won't even load. It flashes on the screen for a split second and disappears.

  • Firefox won't load .mov files online but plays them locally: QT problem?

    My website has several pages with embedded .mov files, which used to play perfectly well, but now only give a question mark after the progress bar fills up.
    For example, one of these pages is http://www.paulozelinsky.com/shivers-animation2a.html
    Firefox can open this and similar pages that are stored in my computer (on a mirror of the site) and view the animations normally. But online it doesn't work. Typing the path to the online animation file into Firefox's URL field also produces an empty QuickTime window with a question mark, so it's not a matter of the page code.
    Is it possible that QuickTime's plugin isn't compatible with Firefox, at least for .mov files like mine? (Created with After Effects 7, using Sorensen 3 codec). Does Firefox use plugins in the same way for playing a file on a web server as playing it in a local folder? Or could there be something going on with my web host?
    I would at least like to know if this failure to load the animation is the same for other Mac Firefox users. I have heard that the animation does load, though slowly, for at least one PC Firefox user.
    When I first noticed the change, the problem was occurring in Safari as well as Firefox, but now it is only in Firefox.
    I have Firefox 3.6.8, and in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins I have QuickTime Plugin.plugin v. 7.6.6. I also see in there something called nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt.

    Bump, bump. Please can anybody help?

  • A Web site won't load properly in Firefox, but will in other browsers, and most other sites load normally in Firefox.

    I have intermittent problems with a Web site not loading properly (rather than a gray background with pictures and clickable captions linking to news stories, a page consisting only of text and hyperlinks loads). The page loads normally in Internet Explorer. The problem with Firefox seems to be limited to this one site. I've previously reported it by clicking Help | Report broken Web sites. Thanks for any suggestions

    I had this problem. I fixed it by right clicking on the website page and found I had inadvertently ticked "block images from this website". Uncheck this and it's fine!

  • MacBook won't load Internet on wireless but works with ethernet

    My macbook wont load any web pages. It is connected to my wifi network and it says my Internet connection is good under my network settings. All my other devices on the network have no issues (ipad2, 2-iPhone 4's and 2-PS3s). Also when I connect my MacBook to my router with an Ethernet cable it loads any and all web pages instantly. I also tried installing Firefox thinking it may have been an issue with safari. No luck there. The issue was intermittent at first and would require I restart my computer/router and then issue would be corrected. Now the internet wont load any pages at all. I also tried zapping the PRAM, flushing the DNS cache, removing files from the system config folder under Library/Preferences/system configuration and a few other things I can't exactly remember. My MacBook is up to date, my routers firmware is up to date. I even tried tethering my MacBook to my iPhone via wireless Internet and still could not load any websites. Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Try this, might or might not work depending on the issue.
    Turn off your wifi.
    Go to your network preference, click on advance, the you will see the name of your network (router's name), delete that.
    Now try to detect it again with your MB's wifi.  You have to re enter your password if you have one.
    See if that solves your problem.

  • Arch won't load my mdraid array, but ubuntu will?

    Hi guys,
    So I had a Mythbuntu 8.04.1 box set up in a mdadm RAID 5 with the /boot on a usb drive, but the mobo is out for warranty.  I threw all the drives in my desktop and copied over the mdadm.conf file, but it only assembles and mounts at boot sporadically under Arch.  If I use my Ubuntu /boot usb to boot up, it works fine, and normally rebooting from Ubuntu and going back into Arch it will then detect, assemble, and mount correctly.  I used that as my go to fix up until now, as attempting to reassemble under Arch has not been successful.  But that isn't working today.  ATM, cat /proc/mdstat is showing only one drive out of the three.  What could possibly be causing this behavior?
    Thanks.

    My mkinitcpio.conf:
    # vim:set ft=sh
    # MODULES
    # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
    # run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
    # in this array. For instance:
    # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
    MODULES="pata_acpi pata_amd ata_generic scsi_mod sata_nv"
    # BINARIES
    # This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
    # binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
    # be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
    # (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
    # BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
    # as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
    # Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,
    # like so:
    # FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"
    FILES=""
    # HOOKS
    # This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
    # modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
    # order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
    # help on a given hook.
    # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
    # 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
    # 'modload' may be used in place of 'udev', but is not recommended
    # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
    # Examples:
    # This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
    # No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
    # HOOKS="base"
    # This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
    # work as a sane default
    # HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
    # This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
    # used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
    # HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
    # This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
    # No autodetection is done.
    # HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
    # This setup assembles an pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.
    # Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H raid' for more information on raid devices.
    # HOOKS="base udev pata raid encrypt filesystems"
    # This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
