Qosmio G30-153 HD DVD error message - Unable to play back

After 6 months of great HD DVDV viewing (well four actual playing times) I now am unable to play any HD DVD's but instead get a message saying "Unable to play back. Please restart the computer. event code: 6".
Have deleted Toshiba HD DVD programme and reloaded from 'Drivers and Tools' back-up CD but to no avail.
Audio CD's and std DVD's work ok, just not HD DVD's. Sometimes I get a black screen, the little control panel shows something iis playing .e. the indicater moves left to right, but no audio is heard.
Is the disc player components of these laptops prone to failure?
Any advice gratefully accepted.

Same thing happened to my machine. Although "chronicles of Riddick" plays fine. I bought "Bourne" collection and get that error message on all 3 discs so I think it has to do with security coding on the DVD itself. I bought this machine for to be able to play these things.
Hope someone out there can help.

  • HT3275 I continue to get the following error message: Unable to complete back up.an error occurred while creating backup folder. It's a brand new drive. When I attempt to repair it using disk utility I get:unable to repair disk cannot unmounted

    I have been trying to use time machine on a new lacie 2tb usb 2 drive for back up. I continue to get: "unable to complete backup.An error occured while creating backup folder". When I use disk utility to repair I get another error message: unable to repair disk unmountable.
    Help me Obie One Canobie you are my last hope

    I have confused myself with the facts!  Started out keeping track of every step and every variable but have sort of lost it as we progress here.  First I quit all applications then swapped connections between mouse port and backup disk port to influence possible bad connections question.  Changed power outlet receptacle for the backup disk. Disabled the put-the-HD-to-sleep option.  Then powered down the computerator.
    Next started up computerator.  Turned Time Machine ON  and experienced multiple successful backups!  Then I started up a few applications, Mail and Text Edit (but not Safari so far).  Had a few more successes.  After each backup, I used Disk Utility to verify the backup disk is still OK.  This because the error about unable to unmount the backup disk seems to go hand in hand with Disk Utility finding the backup disk to be bad.
    Put computer to sleep for the night.  Upon starting up in the morning, and before doing anything else, I did a backup disk verification... BAD!   Did a restart and verified the backup disk... OK.
    Did a few    Sleep-bad, Restart -OK    repetitions.
    It seems consistent:  Sleeping the computer apparently messes up the backup disk but doing a Restart "repairs" it.
    =============================
    Now then, I don't understand everything I know here.  Methinks that maybe keeping the HD from sleeping during lulls in activity has allowed successful backups through the day but manually putting everything to sleep for the night causes a return to the problem of spinning-back-up-too-slowly (which was explained earlier).  Is there any truth in this?
    I may abandon this Seagate thing for something more compatible.  What's out there that we know works reliably for us?

  • Error Message - "Unable to complete back-up"

    After nearly a year of working perfectly Time Machine suddenly comes up with the following error message - "Time Machine Error - Unable to complete the backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
    I've run disk utilities to examine the external backup disk and all is well but Time Machine still does not work. I've changed the backup disk and still gotten the same error.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is happening here?
    thanks

    Just one other thing to check which might help, look in Console under the backupd process which may give you information about where TM failed.
    You are aware, I guess, that that error message comes up occasionally and can be fixed by simply immediately ordering a backup manually, which generally completes successfully. I take it that in your case you tried that and no luck.
    TMBuddy Widget actually extracts that info directly into the widget, making it simpler to get to.
    I know about that occasional backup failure and was one of the first to notice and report it. It came from 10.5.3 AIR and I filed one of the first bug reports on it. Yes, a manual backup works or just wait until the next scheduled backup.
    My point is that I have not gotten any of those in quite a while. You can check some of my old posts here about it.
    Here's one of my old threads about this:

  • Media file error message trying to play files from WDMycloud on ipad

    I am using a WDMyCloud networked hard drive to provide cloud backup for my Windows PCs. This backup includes my Itunes music library
    Using the WDMyCloud app on my iPad(or iPhone) I can see the library is succesfully backed up onto WDMy Cloud and can see all expected songs listed.
    Unfortunately when I try to open some of them on my iPad or iPhone using the WDMyCloud app I get an error message "Unable to play this media file". Some files do open OK
    File formats are mostly .m4a or otherise .mp3 and I have experience of problems with both types of files.
    I used to be able to play all WDMyCloud stored media files without any problem on my iPad/iPhone devices, and I am not aware of changing anything in iTunes/WDMyCloud or my Apple devices other than ensuring I keep up with the latest released software/version.
    Interestingly, I copied a couple of files that would not play into Dropbox onto my PC. I then looked for them on my iPad and iPhone usingWDMycloud app and looked into synced Dropbox folder in WDmy Cloud and found the files and hey presto they play OK.
    They also play on my iPad and iPhone if I go direct to the Dropbox app itself.
    Finally,I can also access my WDmyCloud via my Samsungsmart TV since it is on the same home network and and the "problem"  files will play OK on the TV.
    With my limited technical knowledge, its not clear that there is any difference between the files that play and those that don't.
    Grateful for any advice on what I might be able to do to fix it so all my files will play
    Many thanks

    I see. I understand Cisco just recently released this model in the market so probably there would be more tests to be done for further isolation and come up with a fix solution if proven to be really an issue. I guess for now we'll stand by for updates and just make the best out of Cisco's one of the top of the line routers.

  • Qosmio G30-153 Too slow when installing

    Hello people,
    My Qosmio G30-153 is taking too long to install normal software/programs. For instance, it took me more than 3 hours to install Office XP! - It's ridiculous. Also it stucks at the first 4 "bars" when I try to install Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. It stucks on the "Copying new files". Please what can I do to fix this problem? - Does anyone has this sort of a problem?
    Should I send it for service?
    Right now I'm installing dreamweaver 8 and it's installing it 9 hours now. It's at the half process. It's WAY too fraustrating! Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Vasilias
    Thats unbelievable! You need 9 hours to install a simple web design application!
    This is very strange and I would firstly say there must be a hardware malfunction
    But did you install any 3rd applications? How about the CPU usage?? Open the task manager and check if there are any strange background processes running on the notebook
    Did you check the system for some malware software?
    Did you defragment the HDD? Please start also the "chkdsk" for HDD checking

  • Why do I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502) when I try to open Mobile Web?

    I have an LG Octane 3 basic phone.   Does everything I need, phone and text, and I never was interested in web or e-mail capabilities until I recently upgraded our plan to the "More Everything" and was able to use data and check e-mail and access the internet.   Whenever I try to open Mobile Web, I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502)".    As of March 31, 2015, all of us basic phone users lose the "Mobile Email" app on our phones, and will have to access web versions of our e-mail via the web.  Which is currently unavailable and doesn't work.
    Over a week ago, did a chat session with a tech support rep, and she indicated that either she or an engineer would contact me with how to fix the problem.   Have not heard anything from anybody, and the deadline is approaching quickly.   Have no need of all the excess features of a smart phone, nor do I wish to be forced to jettison a perfectly working phone for my needs and buy something I don't want to be able to do 2 simple things.............check e-mail to see if there's something that needs to be answered right away, and to check traffic reports when I'm on the road, or find something in an area with which I'm not familiar.     Not really too much to ask, you would think....   )
    Has anyone else had this same problem, and if so, how do we fix it....???  My next move is a phone call, but those haven't always been very productive.
    If any of you have any ideas why this error keeps coming up and the web can't load, and some on how to fix it, I would really appreciate some advice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Karen

    Since the chat session got no reply, I contacted Verizon by phone and a very nice level 2 tech created a trouble ticket and sent it up the food chain.  Got a call back, maybe 2 days later, and had a nice, although very long session with a higher level tech.  They had determined that the browser for the LG Octane is an old one and no longer supported by Verizon.    We tried everything we could to download the Opera browser, but since I was totally unable to get Mobile Web to work, couldn't do it.   The only other possible "fix" was to totally reset the phone to factory specs and try it again.   That would mean a lot of work on my part to move anything I didn't want to disappear off the phone, and find a place to forward texts that had to be saved.   Caught our tenants lying about why the rent was late (again), and need that for when I put them back on a lease....  
    Long story short is that unless we try this total reset, which isn't a sure fix, either, anyone who isn't able to access the Mobile Web with the LG Octane will have to change their plan to avoid paying for data that you can't access using any method. 
    I ran a test with an app that I knew was no longer valid.....that was sending photos to PixPlace.   Got the exact same error message as when trying to access Mobile Web to get the web version of my e-mail.   That just verified that the 502 error is, at least in the LG Octane, for an app that no longer works.   After today, we'll get the same thing when we try to access Mobile E-Mail.
    Have to admit, it's a real ****-off, but this shouldn't surprise me, since Verizon won't repair older copper phone lines if you are in an area where FIOS is offered. 
    I am going to immediately change my husband's and my cell phone plan to one without data, and see what I can find that will still give unlimited calls and text.  The way my luck runs, they won't offer one for a decent price.  The other half has some very long-winded friends and he was always running over minutes, and some months are very text-heavy and I'd go over my limit.   Absolutely HATE touch screens, and am not looking forward to having to get a new phone.

  • Error message "Unable to load plug-in type"

    Hi I used plugin registration tool and updated an existing plugin by a new dll.. and then afer that I started recieveing error messages on the CRM on our Dev environment. Error message "Unable to load plug-in type" it was registered for contact entity for
    post create and update but we are getting this error on any entity updates and creates..
    Any help on how to resolve this issue with be deeply appreciated.
    thanks in advance,
    Future MVP

    While this thread is 3 years old, yet I just encountered the same problem about half an hour ago, and I believe this is a bug within CRM Solution Import routine.
    What I had was a plugin which was imported previously. Then, I added new plugin steps and got 'Unable to load plugin type' when registering the new plugin steps I added.
    The solution I have is:
    a. Import just the plugin assembly without the new plugin steps, and publish.
    b. The plugin assembly is now updated with the new plugin class definition. Then add the new plugin steps and import the solution again.
    c. The solution should now be imported successfully.
    What I believe the bug is CRM Solution Import routine checks for the plugin class/type definition in the existing plugin assembly in the server rather than the new plugin assembly in the solution being imported.
    By the way, all solutions are unmanaged. Perhaps, the same bug will not happen in Managed solution.
    HTH anyone else experiencing the same issue.

    pls reply me..its very urgent...thanku..

    You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

  • ERROR Message "UNABLE TO OPEN" and "E_IO_Cannot_Open"

    Trying to download 6 ebooks from Hive and I can download the acsm file but when I click that I get an error message "Unable To Open" and "E_IO_Cannot Open." The computer is authorised and uses Win 7 with ADE 3.  I tried ADE 4 but no better.  I have an older PC using Vista and ADE 2 and that will download okay but it is constantly being used so it is not convenient.  Does anybody know what's wrong?  Thanks.

    Hello,
    To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
    - the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
    - usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
    - could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
    - have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
    If no, download it and use it to attach
    in the object explorer,
    click on your instance to expand it
    right click on databases
    in the contextual menu, click on attach
    in the new form,click on add
    you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
    it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
    the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
    Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
    NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
    We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
    Have a nice day

  • Error message "unable to acesses IXP213.tmp" when installing itunes

    I have windows XP and whenever i try to upgrade, install or uninstall itunes i get teh error message,
    "Unable to accesses file

    I've tried all the methods that i could find on the boards and in the trouble shooting page but none of them have worked. Got any ideas on how to correct the problem?

  • HT4623 Unable to update applications installed.Error message "unable to connet iTunes" appears after installation icon hanging

    Since last two weeks I am unable to update my applications installed in iPad with iOS 6. Also no new app is getting installed. Installation icon appears but after some time error message "unable to connect iTunes " appears.Can some one guide me to solve this problem please?

    I've had similar problems. Whenever I try and update apps on the iPhone, the app would apparently download ok, but then not install. This didn't happen with new apps - only ones I was updating.
    I got around the issue by downloading the update in iTunes on my Mac, then deleting the app from the phone, then syncing. The problem with this method is that certain apps had saved settings which are lost when following this method.
    However... I seem to have fixed the issue after 2 months of trying.
    I followed the advice of this page:
    http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/09/10/itunes-8-workaround-for-5002-unknown-error -when-trying-to-update-apps/
    Then I repaired disk permissions and finally I completely erased and restored my iPhone BEFORE I synced it after the moving of the Mobile Applications folder.
    It's all working perfectly now and made my life much easier (especially with Aurora Feint updates), so I hope that this method works for some others.
    Good luck.
