QT file burnt onto DVD doesn't show when DVD reinserted into drive

This has happened several times now, and is beginning to affect my work.
Here's what happens: I create a self-contained QT file from FCP (7.0.2, fwiw). I insert a blank single-sided (ie 4.7GB) DVD into my internal DVD drive, drag the QT file into it and click 'burn'. The burning process proceeds exactly as I would expect and, at the end, I can click on the DVD icon and see my QT file on the disc. I can open the QT file and play it.
In fact, things don't go wrong until I eject the disc. When I've done that and I re-insert it into the same drive, suddenly the disc is blank! This happens even if I reboot the Mac Pro in the meantime. However, if I insert the drive into my partner's iMac, the QT file is there and can be opened. If I reboot my Mac Pro in Windows, the disc still shows up as blank - as it does on other people's PCs (haven't checked any other Macs yet).
What can be causing this? The drive works fine in all other respects (eg playing movies, installing software, etc.). This problem started happening a few months ago, but in all other respects the drive is working fine. (Oh, I can successfully make a movie DVD from DVD Studio Pro, btw - it's just burning QT files that causes the problem.)
Thanks in advance for your help, everyone.

Well, I seem to have flummoxed you all. Problem still recurring, by the way.
(Incidentally, when I said in my post "suddenly the disc is blank", I hope it was clear that the disc isn't actually blank - just for some reason my Mac thinks it is.)

Saving a file with Dreamweaver it doesn't show up finder view of folder

Since I updated Mac Leopard it seems that when saving a file with Dreamweaver 8 it shows up in the files list but it doesn't show up in the finder when I look at the same folder.
But if I save to the desktop the file is visible and if I save to another folder it's visible. Any ideas why?

Hi harvey waxman;
It was my understanding that anything prior to DW CS3, which is version 9, is not compatible with Leopard.

Report works fine in VS2010 but simply doesn't show when published

Problem:
Crystal Report works fine in VS 2010 but doesn't show when published to web-server, there is no error, it simply doesn't show.
Background:
Installed VS2010 on a freshly installed and fully updated (.net 4.0 is included in the updates) windows server 2003 box with production release Crystal Report 2010. Nothing else is on the server. IIS 6 is running. My web-server and VS2010 is on the same box.
I went ahead and created a new asp.net 4.0 web project called webapplication1. Thereafter, i put a few controls (text-boxes, list-boxes and so on) on the default.aspx page. Then i created a report.aspx page. This page will have the crystal report viewer on it. I went ahead and set the report up without much hassle (got how-to's from the internet). I successfully tested my web app with the built-in testing server, the beautiful crystal report presented exactly what i asked it to. There was one recurring "Sys.Application is null or not an object" hiccup that occured every time during testing when i navigated from the default.aspx page to the report.aspx page (the page the report is on). Clicking ignore or continue on the dialogue box that comes up because of the hiccup will allow testing to continue. Here's a screen-shot of this recurring hiccup.
http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Testing-Error.jpg
As i've shown, testing went great, except for the hiccup. I now moved to setup a publish profile. Since my web-server and VS2010 is on the same box this seemed relatively straight forward. All the files went over except the report, i.e. crystalreport1.rpt file. I solved this by setting the build action to 'Content' in the CrystalReport1.rpt properties. I did a republish. Now i have all my files, see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Application-Home-Directory.jpg], on the web-server.
I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network. This was successful until i tried to navigate to the report.aspx page that the crystal report is on. The the report.aspx page loaded but the crystal report was simply not on it. No errors, not even the hiccup from testing occured. Its as if the crystal report viewer was never on the page to begin with. Only when i right clicked on the page and 'view source' did i see some remnants of the crystal report viewer.
Here is the Report.aspx page when tested in VS2010:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg]
Here is the Report.aspx page when published to the web-server and browsed to from another computer on the network:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg]
Details of adding report to my web app:
1) Populate my dataset then write the XML schema, reportschema.xml
2) Added the crystal Report to the project then used the wizard to navigate to the reportschema.xml. Of course i had to create new connection in Database expert. see screen-shot:

3) I formatted the report the way i wanted it
4) Added the Crystal report viewer on the Report.aspx page
5) In the code-behind of the Report.aspx page i bound the viewer to a report document that is loaded with CrystalReport1.rpt file
see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Report-Page-Code-behind.jpg]
That's it. As mentioned, it tested fine in VS2010 but the viewer doesn't show when i publish to the webserver. I wrote a crystal report in .net about 8 years ago. Things have changed soooo much since then.
I am wondering if its a license issue? Was also wondering if it had anything to do the testing hiccup, even though research is suggestion the two are unrelated.
I've described my actions as best as i could (without getting into ridiculous detail) and have included screen-shots of relevant stages of the process. Have a look and tell me your thoughts. Thanks.

The "Sys.Application is null or not an object" issue is known, submitted for a resolution and documented in KB #1528503. Unfortunately the KB search has been down the last couple of days...
However, the issue is limited to compile time and does not affect a completed application.
Re. the viewer missing. Sounds like the viewer directory did not get created or configure correctly. Before I get to that. You mention:
"I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network."
This bring up the question: If you run the app right on the app server. e.g.; not a client computer, does the viewer and report come up? Is this issue isolated to client computers on the network?
I suspect that the issue exists irrespective of which computer you try to see the report from - but that is an assumption. If the assumption is correct, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a] article on configuring the viewer. The article does not have CR4VS2010 documented, but you should be able to guide your self using the article. I think the pattern will be obvious.

Fade out doesn't show when exported as a jepg sequence?

I'm exporting my video as a jpeg sequence because I can't get rid of the artifacts when exported as a .mov file no matter how much I mess with the settings. The Jpeg sequence works great the only problem is the fadeouts in the video don't show. Anyone know how to change that?
Or how to get the video to export as a .mov file without artifacts some other way besides changing the quicktime settings.

It still doesn't show. It's within the symbol, using the color effect alpha and doesn't show when playing through the timeline- only when testing the movie/scene or exported as a swf or mov file.

IDVD still doesn't show up on my hard drive

Please help!

Hi Sharee,
Do a custom install of the iDVD application from the iLife DVD, see instructions: iLife '05: How to custom install applications.

How do I stop the iMessage conversation from automatically showing when I go into the I message center? I only want the contacts to show down the left side and nothing on the right until I select a conversation to view.

HOW DO I STOP THE WHOLE IMESSAGE CONVERSATION FROM AUTOMATICALLY SHOWING WHEN I GO INTO IMESSAGE? I only want the contact bar on the left to show and not the whole conversation, until I pick one to see.

You can't. You can sign out of messages and turn it off, but you can't do what you would like to do. You can send feedback to Apple.

Files burnt to DVD have correct names but wrong content?

I burned 161 tiff files to a DVD using finder.
The files each have a different file, unique, name which match the file names on the hard drive
but
the content of all 161 files on the DVD are duplicates of the first image although the content of the files on the hard drive are all different.
Any ideas?

Something seems to go wrong with the aliasing
process. Frustratingly enough it doesn't seem to
happen in some consistent way. It appears that you
can check before you burn, that while the filename
and thumbnail appear correct, if you look at the
preview (presumably in column view or with the
Inspector) it will show the error.
Thanks Francine,
That answered that the problem is real. It has only happened to me once that I know of in September 2005. What version of 10.4 I was using at that time is unknown so I do not know if Apple has corrected it since in a later update of the OS.
When you scan film and send the files back to clients getting a phone call that all the files are the same is something I really didn't want to hear.
I now have to verify all of the images and with this client had to reburn 8 more DVD's. All add up to more cost to provide the same product.
I purchased Toast to do the burning, again added cost to do something that the OS should do as a basic function.
Again thank you very much for your help.

Running elements organizer 12 on mavericks can't import iphoto files since the option doesn't show up

Running Mavericks 10.9.3 with iphoto 9 loaded Elements 12 and went to import iphoto files - but the import option doesn't some "from iphoto" and the file/getphotos and videos/from iphoto doesn't show - what is the issue

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying, but you probably don't want to use "from iphoto" anyway. That's only for when you want to import your entire iphoto library (like when you decide you want to use organizer instead).
The first question is what are you trying to do? Do you just want to open photos from iphoto into the PSE editor or do you want to import them into the organizer for something?

Is there a way to create a .dmg file for a DVD inserted into the system

I am wondering if Snow Leopard has integrated any tools that can create a .dmg file for the CD or DVD inserted into the system?
If not, any recommendations for freeware 3rd party tools? Thanks

Insert the disc you want to create the .dmg from, then choose the disc in the left hand pane of Disk Utility. From the File menu, choose New > Disk Image from (name of disc).
EDIT: This is basically how it's done; however, there may be other steps involved, depending on the type of disc you're trying to copy and what your goals are with the .dmg. If you provide more details about what you're trying to achieve, maybe we can help you further.

Text doesn't show when I embed

Hi, thanks for taking the time to look at my problem.
I have Flash CS3, and I just downloaded the Pirulen font. I
played my movie and it works. When I tried to embed the font, the
text doesn't show up at all.
Also, I have a tint on my text on a keyframe, and if I click
on the timeline, the text shows up black like it should, but when I
export it, the text stays red. I tried different fonts, but none of
them work.

and are you embedding the needed characters? if yes, are you
embedding the needed characters?
are you referencing your textfield with actionscript
anywhere? if so, post (only) the code that references your
textfield (using the attach code option in this forum).

I have a Sharp Aquos lc-40e67un that and new Apple TV. It doesn't show an input plugged into any HDMI port I try to use.

I have a Sharp Aquos lc-40e67 television that is 5-6 years oldthat and a brand new Apple TV that doesn't show up as an input in any HDMI plug I hook it to. Is my television too old to use the Apple TV technology?

I checked all power connections first, then tried every available HDMI port on the tv. There was nothing showing on the input page that indicated anything new was available.
I'm not sure how to update firmware, inasmuch as I can't get the device onscreen to see any options.
I tried everything I could think of, including scouring the net for information before I posted my question here for help. Perhaps my 6 year old Sharp just predates any ability to use such hardware.

File explorer (windows 8) doesn't show the properties of pdf files such a keywords or tittle. Neither when click on second button. I just see them when the file is opened with adobe reader (file prperties)

I attach some picture to show the problem.
Im sorry because the os is in spanish, so i translate for you the fileds names shown
etiquetas means tags or keywords or labels, as you can see in the first picture at the second row, some file (office pack) show the tags but the selected one doesn't (pdf).
propiedades means properties. The properties shown are different if I opened from file explorer to acrobat.
I think there is a compatibility problem with the xmp file (metadata) from pdf file ans windows 8.1 (64bits). I tried to solve it by installing a missing file called ifilter, but the problem continues

I believe this is all normal.
