Pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem?

My pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem? I am running Win 7 home premium 64 bit.

If these are new original DVD, you should bring your system in for alignment. If they are copied DVDs, the drive that made them may be out of alignment and your good drive can't read the bad copy.  There is also another issue you may be talking about. Many DVD movies are assigned a country code and will not run on a machine from another country.  This was intended to prevent piracy.

    Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

  • HT1723 Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?

    Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?
    I've had my mac for less than a month and for the first time I put in a disc. I can hear a laser sort of noise as well as the disc flapping about or a motor sort of sound? Sounds really bad to me :/
    Someone please help!

    Sounds like a hardware issue.
    Did you buy the system from Apple? If so how recent is recent?  If it is new you have 14 days to return it, not sure what the situation is with refurb systems. If it is over 14 days you should still have warranty support make an appointment at an Apple Store or contact Apple support.
    If you bought it from someone other then Apple you will need to contact them.
    good luck

  • FCP X version 10.1.1.  When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd.  Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder"  I have 700GB   free.  Where is this target folder located?  how can I fix this problem? not space prob

    Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc.  Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder"  I have 700GB   free.  Where is this target folder located?  How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem. 
    Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production.  Has Apple fixed this problem.  is there a knowledge base article on this?
    On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project,  I cannot share it.....Really.  This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.

    Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
    I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work.  I will repair permissions again,  I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
    There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

  • Since installation of Mountain Lion the latest version of sony Image Data Converter doesn't work anymore. How can I tackle this problem?

    Since installation of Mountain Lion (10.8.2) the latest version of Sony Image Data Converter (Ver. 4.6) doesn't work anymore. How can I solve this problem?

    HI,
    I have seen this with AIM Logins that use the SSL Server and not the original server that was non SSL
    Since iChat 6 the server name has also changed as has the Login port (Although we were suggesting using the port 443).
    The AIM SSL server "Falls Over" more frequently than the other server.
    Also iChat/Messages reconnects automatically to the NON SSL server but not to the SSL one (It is a security risk)
    You had to manually Log out by Untick "Enable this Account" then Log back in again.
    I have not seen this happen in Jabber accounts but I don't use my computer the same way you  do.
    Jabber Servers tend to either use SSL or Not and can rarely login if you change to not using SLL.
    It also seems a bit strange that Disabling the account, as you phrase it, and re-enabling does not work.
    For Googletalk Logins try logging out then changing the port to 443 (Googletalk allows this port as well as 5223)
    Also check the Keychain (Applications/Utilities > Keychain Access)  and see if there is an issue with any Gmail or Googletalk certificate.

  • After getting my 2007 imac's HDD repaired, the super drive stopped working... How can i fix this?

    After getting my 2009 imac's HDD repaired the super drive wont work anymore... How can I resolve this?!

    I think you need to contact the repairer, and explain the problem as something may not have been reconnected properly on the re-assembly. That is not to be assumed as fact, so taking a diplomatic approach along these lines in negotiation would be in your interest.

  • When I try to access files on my external hard drive on one macbook, it says I have insufficient access privileges. I use the external hard drive on my other macbook and it works fine. How can I fix this problem?

    I've tried looking the answer up on google, but I've come up empty handed. Do I need to change permissions somewhere? I've tried setting everyone to have read and write acess on both machines and that didn't work either.
    My macbook that works perfectly with the hard drive is running snow leopard. the other macbook is running leopard. i'm not 100% certain what brand my external is but it says firewire800/usb2.0 on it.
    i appreciate any help i can get!

    Me compre un ipod classic de 160gb cada vez que trato de ponerle musica de mi disco duro externo solo copia hasta 1500 canciones y luego me congela el Itune  y no lo puedo cerrar, me pide que restaure el ipod como de fabrica, lo hago y nada.  Trato de cerrar el programa de itune y no me deja, trato de apagar el computador y no lo puedo apagar,  he buscado para ver si tiene errores  el disco del Ipod y me dice que esta bien.  Lo he restaurado como 8 veces y le he puesto musica y videos pero siempre me borra todo.  He aplastado Menu y Seleccion para entrar al sistemade diagnostic o del ipod y le pongo el test manual donde entro al IO y me dice q todo esta bien.  Le he dado ya varios Format directamente desde el Windows 7 y nada tampoco, siempre me borra todo desde que pasan mas de 1300 canciones y me congeal todo el equipo.  Ya no se que pensar de esta compania Apple porque no da ninguna solucion ha este tema.
    I bought a 160gb iPod classic every time I try to put music on my external hard drive only copy up to 1500 songs and then freezes Itune me and I can not close, asks me to restore the ipod as factory, and do nothing . I try to close the program and itune will not let me, I try to turn off the computer and I can not shut, I looked to see if the iPod disk errors and says it's okay. I restored it about 8 times and I've put music and videos but I always delete everything. I crushed and Selection Menu to enter diagnostic sistemade or ipod and I put the manual test where I enter the IO and q tells me everything is fine. I have already given several Format directly from the Windows 7 and anything either, I always delete everything from passing over 1300 songs and I congeal whole team. No longer have to think of this company because Apple gives no solution has this issue.

  • I've had a new hard drive installed and reloaded all my stuff via time capsule and now can't connect to the internet although it say Airport is connected. How can I fix this problem ?

    Just had a new hard drive for my iMac and reloaded all my stuff via time capsule, all works fine apart from Safari which won't connect to internet. Airport is connected but each time Safari comes back saying there is no connection....any help gratefully recieved.

    So you have the apple rotuer called a time capsule  and you have complete the frist time machine back up? but there is not internet access ?
    If so.
    Opem airport utiltiy on your Comptuer :
    What is the IP ? > if its 169.254.xx.xx > its a self assigned
    Try power cycling the Internet source  for up to 1 mintue and make sure all the lights  turn off.

  • Adobe Flash can be installed, but must be install EVERY time I log out and log back in. Why doesn't it stay? How can I fix this? (I have Firefox 6.0.2 and Flash 10.3)

    I have searched through the FAQs and find stuff on "crashing". I have not had any trouble with flash crashing, but I can't keep it installed.
    If I install flash, then it stays as long as I am logged in, even if I close firefox. Once I log out and log back in, I lose Flash and have to re-install it.

    I was having the same issue with installing Flash player 10.3.183.10 in both Firefox 6.0.2 and Explorer 9 -- the Task Manager would show the installer running as a process, but it would never actually install anything. It would just sit there until I killed it or rebooted.
    It seems that there are multiple versions of the separate installers needed. The installer that worked for me in Firefox was
    install_flash_player_10.exe -- a 3,017KB file
    and for Explorer, it was:
    install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe -- a 3,054KB file.
    Neither of those files was sent by the main updater page, nor did that page offer the 239KB uninstall_flash_player.exe, which is needed to uninstall the previous Flash version before one can even begin to try to update it. I had to pound through the messages in the forums to find links to those "full" installers.
    It is working now in both browsers, but jeepers creepers, it shouldn't take all day to find the installers for something that gets updated as often as Flash does.

  • My iMac is making a loooouuud fan noise and i can't seem to fix it.. I've tried to unplug it and push the power button for 5 seconds and the plug in it again and turn it on but it doesn't stop! please how can i fix this.. its making me crazy

    Loud imac fan noise

    Since it says you have Mac OS X 10.7.4 in your profile information, it sounds like you have an Intel iMac, not a PowerPC iMac.  Is that correct?
    The procedure you describe is not exactly the right one for an Intel iMac.  You should follow this procedure to reset SMC (power management)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    When you do it, disconnect ALL peripheral devices from your computer, including your keyboard and mouse.  Connect the power cord only, and power it up that way, initially.
    Also, check the vents along the bottom edge of the iMac.  If they are clogged with dusk, it can block proper airflow, which can cause overheating, which can cause the fans to run high.  If the fans runs high immediately after starting up the iMac (when it is cold), this would not be the cause.

  • My iPod touch 64 GB doesn't charge or show up on iTunes, because the charger overheated it. How can I fix this problem? I tried restoring too and putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't work.

    Thanks.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
