Osx does not recognise any DVD or disk inserted
Hi Everyone,
Since this morning I tried to use some disks on my MacBook Pro, (6,2) mid 2010, but the system did not load any of them and as long as I tried to insert one, it was espelled 5 seconds after without being loaded by the OS, I actualy tried to put a disk containing an updated version of Debian, and it would not load into MacOSX, but misteriousely, debian's installation started from the same disk and the same drive i tried to use on macosx .
It is actually quite strange because I cannot understand how it could be possible that the same disk actualy loads on the Boot and it does not whithin mac osx.
Any suggestion on how to solve ?
Thank you very much,
Regards

I have iPhone 6, 8.3. I cannot use bluetooth at all from my device, even to connect my macbook pro. I did all the recommended trouble shooting such as reboot and reset network settings. but it does not recognise any bluetooth device. Pls help.Thank you.

My Iphone 4 does not recognise any bluetooth divice
my Iphone 4 does not recognise any bluetooth divice
Check the documentation for the Jawbone and put it in discovery mode. Turn bluetooth on for the iPhone and the Jawbone should show up on the phone. More than likely it will then ask for a passcode and that should be in the documentation as well. After that, they should be paired.
Use this link to go to the Jawbone ERA site if you need instructions on pairing. Select pairing with your phone and there is information on how to get the headset into pairing mode and the passcode.

HP dv7 notebook PC does not recognise the dvd burner.
HP dv7 notebook with win7 64bit does not recognise the dvd burner.A diagnostic check says the dvd is working but it cannot play or burn CDs,DVDs as the DVD does not appear with the other HDs in the computer window.Can anyone help?
Hi,
It's possible that this is a hardware issue with the optical drive itself, but try running automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

You don't need an app. You need couple's counseling. I believe what you want to do may also be illegal in many jurisdictions.

iTunes recognises my iPhone 5s attached, but does not come up with the scanner/camera wizard giving me the option to upload pictures. I've tried going to control panel on the computer to try and open it that way, but it does not acknowledge that any devices with a camera are attached. It gives me the option to manually add one, but then it gets too technical for me. Anyone any ideas? Help will be greatly appreciated. - Thanks
(P.S. - I'm using Windows XP if that makes a difference).Hey Catherine Sian,

MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857 Does Not Recognise writable DVD media
mbpro 2.16 Will not accept writable DVD's either blank or pre-writen. I have tried different makes. It will accept re-recordable media. Had the machine 9 months and the problem was only intermittant to start with but now permanent. HELP Please
hi birdman,
I'm having the same problem as you. The matshita drive was initially able to recognise a blank sony dvd-r i put in, was able to burn the dvd as well as read it. but after that, when i tried reading the same burned disc a few hours later, ironically, the drive wasn't able to recognise the very dvd-r it burned. Neither was it able to recognise any blank dvds.
guess i may have to go down to apple to replace my optical drive. -
My HP Pavilion dv6-3108ea cd-rom drive does not detect any dvd's or cd's........ help please!!!!!!!
My CD-ROM drive cannot detect CD's or DVD's. I have used the microsoft "fix it" tool and it doesn't detect that the driver is out of date nor does it need updating. I have tried uninstalling the driver via the control panel settings and restrating my laptop to see if it will reinstall the driver automatically but it always fails.
Does anyone have any suggestions??? I would be very grateful.
This question was solved.

Mac OSX does not recognise CS6 vs CC!
There is something wrong with the info.plist for Photoshop CC. Mac OSX Mountain Lion at least does not understand they are different applications. You cannot set files to open in CC instead of CS6. The OS believes they are the same application.
Annoying.The plists show them as different versions.
More likely is that your MacOS launch services database is corrupted. -
Mac OSX does not recognise MFP 1213nf
Reposting here since I have recently upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks.
Original post (what I did when this machine was running Mountain Lion)
This is probably an obsolete system support problem.
This LaserJet Pro M1213nf is an old product from HP that I just recently (~3 months) purchased from a vendor as new. The MFP system is flawless and except for the occasional scanner tilt in grabbing the sheet from the automatic document feeder, works perfectly.
Unfortunately, when I bought it, I used an old Macbook with Snow Leopard to test it. Worked beautifully. I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion, and it does not work with that. This Macbook is going to be my primary system from now on.
Googling this problem has convinced me that neither HP nor Apple intend to support this, at least not anytime soon. Updating drivers from the store has not helped. In fact, each time it has happened, I have had to uninstall the new driver, and install the old Lion version of the drivers (see below).
Current status:
1. It prints without a problem. It copies too, but I don't really use that a lot.
2. It scans but only with the HP Scan application bundled with the Lion version of the driver. (which was the last major version where this was supported)
3. Image Capture, Preview, etc. do not work with this and the OS does not even recognize the scanner.
I installed sane-backends to work around the problem but I have not really invested a great deal of time into it and that did not help.
My question is - how do I hack it to work with my Mountain Lion install natively? I use Linux regularly, and have absolutely no issues compiling software, tinkering with things, using open source software, etc. My understanding is that Mountain Lion has changed the interface for scanners and that new interface is not available for older scanners.
Why do I need this to work? Well, I scan a lot of documents and there are some AppleScripts I want to use to do some standard post scan processing to reduce PDF size. The native HP scan application that comes with the drivers is an irritating piece of crap that wastes my time everytime I need to do something.
And I am not going to throw out a perfectly good MFP just because Apple and HP want to generate some undeserved profits off me. Good hardware always trumps artificial commercial software choices for this engineer.
I am now running Mavericks.The plists show them as different versions.

Would anyone please have any advice for an imac desktop 2010, that no longer reads CDs or DVDs. The CD drive ejects any disk without reading it including the system disk!
Your SuperDrive may need cleaning or replacement, if it's covered by AppleCare then make an appointment and Apple will replace it for free. If you don't have AppleCare then go to an office supply store and get a cd/dvd drive cleaning kit and use it. If that fails then make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP to have the machine serviced. Another alternative is buying an external DVD burner and connecting it via USB to your iMac. While not as ideal an internal drive it should work just fine.

Thinkpad L520 CD/DVD drive does not recognise or write to disks
Hi all. I hope as a newbie that I'm posting in the right area and not on a topic already covered. I've had my L520 for over a year now and have not previously needed to burn stuff to disk, so I do not know if my problem is new or old.
Essentially the drive recognises disks when they are inserted and accurately displays files already on the disk, but it gives available space as nil regardless of disk or existing file size. Additionally if a blank disk is inserted it will say that the disk cannot be read and to try formatting. These are standard preformatted disks I'm using. Please help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Written and finalised disks do not appear to have any capacity left, it is the way the CD file system works.
As for the empty disks, they are just empty, not pre-formatted. It seems to me you need a disk-burning application like Ashampoo Burning Studio Free or CDBurnerXP, which are free for personal use...

DVD-Audio player does not detect any DVD-Audio sour
Hi,
I am trying to play a DVD-Audio disc on my computer using the DVD-Audio player software that came with my Audigy 2 card, but the software fails to detect my DVD-ROM dri've as a DVD-Audio source.
I can play audio CDs and DVDs with no problems using the DVD-ROM dri've.
The OS is WindowsXP Pro with SP and I have the latest patches applied to both driver and DVD-Audio player software.
I would appreciate any suggestions if someone experienced this anoying problem and solved it.
Thank a lot!DVD Audio encryption security has unfortunately been hacked using the decoders within WinDVD from Intervideo.
As a result, DVD Audio playback using the WinDVD/Audigy combination has been suspended on "new" versions of the software.
I am a registered user of WinDVD and upgraded to WinDVD 7 Platinum in June and DVD Audio was working fine.
I mistakenly downloaded an "upgrade" to WinDVD 7 at the end of July and found all my DVD Audio discs failed to play.
Intervideo (as usual) refused to respond to my technical support queries when I enquired as to whether the DVD audio support was removed in view of the breach of the DVDA encryption.
Thankfully the previous version was still available for download (after much searching on the web) - WinDVD.Platinum.7.0.Release.2.Build 27.07Using a new activation key from the Intervideo website STILL didn't enable DVDA playback on this previous version however.......... I was able to fudge this using the original purchase activation key by changing the PC system date to within 0 days of my initial activation key supply which I had stored in an email.Hey presto - back to WinDVD DVDA support!Intervideo are being very crafty.... they have updated the WinDVD website to remove all references to DVD Audio support and then were answering my technical support queries as if I wasn't configuring my PC correctly.
What versions of DVD Audio playback software are you using?
Creative DVDAudio player? WinDVD (version?)
