Problems with DVD or CD Sharing Install

I have installed DVD or CD file sharing multiple times on my eMac (10.3.9). Each time I'm told it has completed successfully. However, I cannot find the Migration Assistant anywhere on the hard disk, nor does DVD or CD Sharing show up under System Preferences > Sharing. Any ideas?

However, I cannot find the Migration Assistant anywhere on the hard disk
If you're using a retail version of Mac OS X 10.3 or any version of Mac OS X 10.2 or earlier, you won't have it. Otherwise, it's in /Applications/Utilities/.
nor does DVD or CD Sharing show up under System Preferences > Sharing. Any ideas?
If you mean this software, it won't work on your configuration.

Has anybody had problems with DVD's burnt with Optiarc drive

I am burning movie DVD's through iDVD. The movie formats are initially QT with PCM sound encoding. They seem to work well on an old Samsung DVD player, but stutter on a brand new Samsung computer. I do understand it could be a problem with the newer computer, but I would like to hear if anyone else has had any problems so I can see if the problem is more widespread.

Any help appreciated

I too am having trouble playing DVDs burned with my Optiarc drive. Sorry I don't have the solution, but I can add a data point to the story about problems with DVDs burned with Optiarc.
My current hardware: mid-2007 24" iMac, built-in Optiarc DVD RW AD-5630A with firmware 1AHM / MMC-3.
My scenario: after making home movies with iMovie '08 and iDVD '08, I either burn to DVD (TDK 16x DVD-R 4.7 GB) straight from iDVD or I save as disc image from iDVD and then burn the disc image from Toast 9. In either scenario, I can play the DVD on my iMac or any other Mac or Windows computer. However, it will not play on my Xbox (original Xbox, not the 360) because it freezes when trying to mount (sometimes the Xbox will not recognize the disc as a DVD, and sometimes it will begin mounting the disc and then freeze before displaying the title menu).
Before I bought my new iMac, I had the same workflow on an older 2003 17" G4 iMac that has a Sony DVD burner, and those discs play fine on all DVD players including my Xbox. To test the hypothesis that something happened to my Xbox around the time that I upgraded to my mid-2007 24" iMac, I burned several DVDs using my older iMac, and they continue to mount and play fine on the Xbox. On both my older and newer iMac, I have Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed, same version of Toast 9, and I burn at the slowest speed (2x) on both. So it seems that the problem can be isolated to the Optiarc DVD burner, but I'm not sure if there are other factors at play here.
I searched the Optiarc site (www.sonynec-optiarc.com) but could not find a firmware update for the AD-5630A. However, I did find this site via Google:
Liggy's and Dee's modified NEC and Optiarc firmwares
http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/Optiarc-AD-5630A/
Because I was not sure about the site's reputation or validity of the firmware, I have not tried it yet.

Problem with DVD Player

I inherited this computer and have spent the last couple of months upgrading it. Put a gig of ram in and added a PCI card to help with a multi screen setup but now I have hit my first major head ache. I bought a Pioneer DVR - 104 off of ebay and installed it no problem. The only issue is once I went to test out my dvd feature I found I had no DVD player. I tried updating the system but it would not install it. So I finally was able to get 3.1 off of this site and it won't start up. It just blinks on the dock once and dissapears. I checked the specs and this machine came with the superdrive but my father opted out of it, why I don't know, so there should be no issues with the hardware, can anyone help me on this?

Hi-
I'm sorry the extras is in OS 10.4- my mistake. In OS 10.3, I believe the DVD player is in the main package. I couldn't find it to install seperately. So.......
Let me recap-
1- The DVR reads install discs
2- DVD's won't play because DVD player does not run
3- DVD-R discs show no response
So-
1- The DVR is reading
2- The version of DVD player may not be compatible
3- There is no burn support
To check burn support, in System Profiler, check if under Burn Support "Yes" is showing.
My current thinking is, that since there was no DVR in the origional configuration, you may need to reinstall (Archive and install) the OS 10.3 to get the proper DVD player installed. this should also configure burn support.
The other way to get burn support is to use the patchburn that I gave you the link to.
BUT, I think you should do things one at a time. My advice is to first get the DVR to read, play and burn in that order. There is obviously a problem with DVD player, so, unless some else can advise differently, I would try the Archive and Install of the OS 10.3.
It may also be good to run the OS 10.3.9 Combined Update:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
trying the combined update now wouldn't hurt. If it does not remedy the situation, try the Archive and Install, then update.

Problems with DVD Player 3.0.1 in G4/466

Problems with DVD Player in G4/466
Yes, I've a g4/466 with two disks. In the first there's system 9.2.2 and the DVD player goes perfect. In the second I've system 10.2 and the 9.2, and the DVD Player (3.0.1) on the system 10 begins to jump in the dock, but stop and nothing happens, I can't open it...
There's any way to reinstal it form system disks???
Or any download to check the error?
Thanks

1. Try using Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.2 installation disks, and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X and any applicable DVD Player updates.
2. Open the Console application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for lines relating to the DVD Player.

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks

Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.
Cheers

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
Does anyone have a sollution?

Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now. I already posted a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

Got problems with iOS7 and home sharing

Got problems with iOS7 and home sharing music. How do you home share music now. I don't have a airplay button either. It all work fine until I updated

I too am haing the same problem.
Oh i have an iphone 4 by the way - if this helps.
I have updated the itunes to 11 point something (latest as of 19th Sept '13) and still not joy.
My phone sees the network, then when i try to connect to it in the "Sharing" spot in music, it gives me the rotating icon and then i get "Unable to Home Share at this time".
I had this problem with the ios 6, which was log out of you apple account, and then turn off the phone -this was supposed to clear all the history and old connection details etc.
Then restart the phone and re-log into itunes account.
As i say - that worked last time, but this time, i have no idea what is going on.
I am looking at reverting back to the ios 6, and waiting for ios 7.1 which to be honest - wont be long away with the amount of issues people are having.

Problems with migration on a new install

I turned on my new 27" iMac, and when it asked if I wanted to import info, I was not ready because I did not have the right cable to connect my Time Machine External B/U, so I passed, and created a Bootcamp partition.
I installed Windows XP just fine, and then installed Parallels on the main admin account, and made sure it worked. then tried to import my prior user account by connecting both computers with an ethernet cable, and turned on file sharing. I had problems with lots of spinning beach ball of death on the old mac, so I figured moving to the new machine would get rid of it.
So I used Migration assistant to import from my current computer connected with Cat 5 cable, and it got 99% of the way through, then hung, like it could not gather the final info from the old computer to finish the migration, so I forced quit Migration on both computers, since there is no other way to exit w/o a successful install.
The account was there, though when I log in as that user, I see lots of folders I don't have permission to access like my documents and downloads.
So I go back to the old computer, and do an updated time machine back-up, then connect that external HD to the new iMac and do a 2nd import to a fresh user. All goes well, and I am able to log in, however, my new install of Parallels does not show up on the desktop, rather my old Parallels shows up with its different name. And I am getting spinning beach balls for 10-20 seconds in Safari, which I don't like, as something from the old computer must be corrupt to be doing this like a preference file or ?.
I have had a Mac since the early 1990's, and always only had one account that I used to run the computer, never creating a "User" account to run day to day, and I am not fully understanding the relationships between admin & user.
So my questions are;
1. what is the best way to take my documents, movies, photos, music and such from the 2nd migration, and transfer to a freshly created user account that would have no corrupted preferences causing the spinning problems. Do I put them in the shared folder, then access them from the new account, and transfer them that way, or does the admin do it?
2. What do I do about the applications that were imported, can the main admin move them and possibly the above documents to the main applications folder?
3. What about fonts and such, should they be put in the main library, or a user library?
4. Where can I find info on the allowable actions & limits of admin and users? what they can & can't do.
5. On my admin desktop, I can see my HD, Bootcamp partition, and Parallels shortcut. It is not visible on my test account, or another user account I created for #1 above. How can I give that user access?
6. How can I access the new Parallels install that shows up on the admin hd, instead of the old imported one in my user account?
7. How can I access the 2 external HD's that show up in admin and not users?
8. Can I safely delete the user that was created from my first unsuccessful migration that I had to force quit and has permission issues?
Thanks for your help, really appreciate getting up to speed on users...

No offense, though none of your replies are of any help. I am not migrating from a PPC to Intel, I don't need to reinstall, I am not a new user migrating for the first time, and I am not having any font problems.
Let me try again.
If I have a problem with an imported user account like it hangs doing certain things, how do I move all the data to a new user on the same PC, just drag all the documents, library, and similar folders to the shared folder, or the user folder?
Users/Shared
Users/User
Any help is greatly appreciated.

DLT 8000 problem with DVD SP 4.1.2

Every once in a while we will create a DLT for a client who authored their project in DVD SP. We don't use DVD SP daily for authoring, we use Spruce Maestro. But since we have the system, we do occasionally do this kind of thing. We've never had any problems, but today something new has come up and I'm stumped:
The setup is a Dual 2GHZ G5 with an ATTO UL4D card installed. We have this connected to a RAID normally. When we get one of these jobs, we shut down the RAID, disconnect both SCSI cables from it, and connect one to the DLT 8000 that we normally have on our Windows-based Spruce Premaster machine. We use the same terminator that we use on the RAID. This has always worked flawlessly.
Today, I did all of that, and loaded up the client project to write to tape. DVD SP goes from "Insert Tape" to "Waiting for Device" when I insert the tape, so it's clearly communicating at some level. The mac sees that the DLT drive is there in both DVD SP and the System Profiler, so no problems there. I've tried both SCSI channels, I've tried multiple terminators. Every time the same thing happens - the tape goes through its normal loading procedure, then pauses, then rewinds and gives me the green "Ok to remove tape" light. DVD Studio Pro then tells me that there's no drive there.
The drive is definitely good. We just used it Thursday to output a DVD-9 on the PC, and like I said, we've switched this back and forth for years between these machines with no problems.
Any ideas?

Sorry - just realized that i mis-typed the version number. it's actually 4.2.1, not 4.1.2.
Also - a few updates:
1) we've determined that this is not a hardware issue. We are able to successfully write other DVD SP projects to the drive, but not this one.
2) We tossed the .LAY and .layout files, thinking maybe they were corrupt. But this didn't fix the problem. It still fails in the same way.
Any idea as to what might cause this?

CS4 Design Premium Installation Problem with DVDs

Hey,
I just bought the student Edition of the CS4 Desgin premium package.
Have Windows XP SP3
Anyway I put in the first DVD...and it loads...and loads....and loads...like half an hour.
Nothing...cant open via explorer as well.
So I restart with Dvd in the drive. restart took a bit longer but now I can acces via explorer.
I start installation...works fine...put in Dvd2...works fine...Put in dvd3...loads...loads....loads...
just for fun I put in dvd"Content"....loads...loads....loads.
Ok so now I'm right in the middle of the installation...so cant just restart
(I did try later after aborting Installation: then I can read em like dvd1)
Now I have just installed half....with conent of dvd3-"content" missing
I tested 25 other dvds I had laying around...all starting within the sec I entered em, so dvd drive seems fine.
Cant remember how see specs at moment...but lets just say I can play "Crysis" on High smoothly
It would maybe work if I could somehow install the content of dvd3 and dvd"Content" seperatley?
(do I need dvd "content"?)
Or how about If i create images of em and then mount em...think that would work (know a good free program?)?
would appreciate some help

I strongly suspect a bad production run of Adobe DVDs - I had enormous problems (see previous thread somewhere in this forum) attempting to install my Student Version Design Premium from the DVDs which Adobe sent me. I then had absolutely no help from their telephone support. I then had similarly no help from their online support portal - and, in fact, got really mad at them about it all. I spent days trying to sort it out. This message board - and one guru in particular - was very supportive and patient.
My solution: I downloaded the trial version of the Creative Suite I had bought, installed from that (fast, easy, no problems at all) and then used the product key from the DVDs I had bought direct from Adobe. So, I had to spend three days downloading (very slow broadband here) but it did, at least, get me a working copy.
I wish Adobe would own up to sending out duff DVDs - but when I asked them (about the second question I asked in my first phone call) I was told that it was so unlikely that she (tech support woman) wanted me to try (all manner of ridiculous) other things first.

UDMA problem with DVD player

Hello,
I have a problem with my new MSI DVD player(model MS-8216M) :it will not work in UDMA mode 2 as it is supposed to in any normal, acceptable configuration. When I connect it as a secondary master or slave it works at multiword2 or PIO and will not go higher. It will only work in UDMA mode 2 if I connect it through my harddrive (but drops back down to PIO after a while)or when it is a Primary slave and my HDD is a Secondary Master (but also goes back to PIO after a while).
Here's what I have already tried:
Removing the secondary IDE channel in device manager, reboot and let windows auto-detect. Bought a new IDE cable. Re-installed windows twice since i bought it (Not upgrade).Tried various Master/Slave and IDE combinations (and always changed jumpers correctly).
Could someone please shed some light on this annoying
problem? I exchanged this drive twice already so I don't think that the MSI is at fault. Is it my motherboard? Please help.
Thank you
Nyah

Problems with DVD created in iDVD

I have a project I put together using Final Cut Express and Logic Pro. I created the DVD project using iDVD, and am having problems with the disks that I burn - they hang part-way through on various devices (after multiple burns).
I then saved the image to an .IMG file and tried to burn it on 2 different computers using different media (DVD+R and DVD-R) and at different burn speeds through Disk Manager. The disk burns ok, but fails validation with the message "Unable to burn ... (Verification of the burn failed.)"
When I mount the image on my local hard drive and play it through DVD Player, I experience no problems. This is really, really strange.
Brian

Nope. Can't do it that way. Much better to do a fresh install to each mac......or Unless you made a bootable clone of your existing HD with CCC or SuperDuper on a like mac system. Did you do this?
In other words, to clone an existing HD you'd have to format the ext. HD to mac os extended and then move the ext. HD to a similar mac from which you would boot you mac from like this:

Problems with DVD, IPhoto,etc.

I cant play DVDs and I cannot install software for my digital camera which is on a CD. Is this a problem with the CD drive? I have only had this IMAC for a few months. These things shouldnt be happening. And is there more qualified people that I can talk to. I appreciate the help anyone can offer but if I am going to pay $1700 for this computer then it needs to work for more than a summer! Help!

Hey croth75.
It very well could be a hardware problem but let's try a little maintenance first.
Open Disk Utility and do a Repair Permissions.
This has worked for me before it similar situations but it is not a cure all.
After you Repair Permissions you might try a restart.
If you are still having problems, try inserting the install disk and restart while holding down the 'C' key. I know this may not be possible for you as you are having disk related problems, but maybe.
After you start up from the install disk, locate Disk Utility from one of the top menu tabs and do a Repair Disk.
After it is done, restart and see what you get.
I hope some of this helps.

HP Pavilion DVD-3013eo recovery problem with dvd`s Win 7 x64

Hi, i have a problem with my dv7-3013eo pavilion, recovery dvd just wont work, they are original but here's the problem:
in recovery pavilion says something like this on start recovery program is not compatible of this version of windows, but it proceed, then it Boot's then the installation stars and then uiadump32exe crashes, and pavilion says start recovery again? that shall i do?
My windows version is WIndows 7 x64 Home, and computer is broken. dvd are fine and this is first time i have to use them.

Hi:
I don't have an answer for you, but I have a workaround if you can't get the recovery disks to work.
You will only have the option of installing the English, French or Spanish version of W7 Home Premium 64 bit.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to DVD's for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
Now, instead of burning these to a DVD, use the Windows 7 USB flash drive installation tool available at the link below and follow the instructions on the page to install.
You will need a 4 GB flash drive or larger.
