Recognizes Discs, but not after burning

Whenever I put a blank CD into my MBP (core duo) it recognizes it and asks what to do, and is able to burn it. However if I put an already burned MP3 in the drive, it doesn't do anything - I can't even eject it, I have to go into terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to get it out. Even after the moment a CD is burned, it only shows up in iTunes, not on the desktop. The same thing happens with my equally old iMac G5. Is there anyway to fix this, or am I forced to deal with it? It seems to have started after upgrading to OS X 10.5

I'm having a similar problem I've built a DVD which has
Play, Chapters, Stills, Audio, buttons on the main menu. All of which function fine on the simulator.
But when testing the DVD file I've created on the hard drive. Activating the stills and audio buttons both navigate to a chapters sub menu?

You can see where the buttons should be going and the red lines are where they are going.

GPRM Button scripts work in Simulate, but not after burning

Hello everyone:
I have a question regarding GPRM-based buttons and scripting menu navigation. My scripts work perfectly in DVD Studio Pro's simulate mode, but after building and formatting a DVD, the scripts do not function properly on a set top box, in Apple DVD Player, or when playing from the Video TS folder. The scripts were based off of a tutorial by Hal MacLean at dvdstudiopro.co.uk.
Essentially, I have one track which is accessed via a Main Menu or a Chapters Menu. There is an animation that plays at the head of each menu, so menu has a loop point. The user should return to the correct screen, the correct button should be highlighted, and the menu should jump to the loop point. All of these things happen in simulate mode, but after burning, the loop point is ignored: The correct menu and buttons are highlighted, but the menu plays from the beginning. Here is how the project is laid out:
From the main menu, if the user chooses Play Movie, the following script plays:
mov GPRM 0, 1
Jump Feature
From the main menu, if the user chooses Chapters, the following script plays:
mov GPRM 0, 0
Jump Chapters Menu
Each of the chapter buttons is assigned to the start of a scene. The feature's menu call is assigned to the following script:
mov GPRM 1, SPRM 8
div GPRM 1, 1024
Jump Main Menu(Loop) [GPRM 1] if (GPRM 0 = 1)
Jump Chapters Menu(Loop) [GPRM 1]
I was able to make the menus behave properly by writing the scripts this way:
mov GPRM 1, SPRM 8
div GPRM 1, 1024
Jump Main Menu Script [GPRM 1] if (GPRM 0 = 1)
Jump Chapters Menu Script [GPRM 1]
Main Menu Script:
Jump Main Menu(Loop)
Chapters Menu Script:
Jump Chapters Menu (Loop)
But, although the user is returned to the correct menu and the loop point, now only the default button is highlighted.
Has anyone run into the same issues? Can anyone see any flaws in my scripts, or have any suggests? i would really appreciate any thoughts you all have. Thanks for your time!

Do you have any pre scripts atached to the menus? I was having the same problems as you and found that pre scripts and GPRMs don't play nice (at least in DSP). Removing the pre scripts solved my issue.

USB super drive for a MacPro retina. It recognizes CDs but not DVDs.

I bought a new USB super drive for a MacPro retina. It recognizes CDs but not DVDs. I am in region 1 and my DVDs are all region 1. This is the second drive so the problem seems to be in the computer. The problem is the same with battery power or AC adaptor. I downloaded Adobe flash before I bought the USD super drive. Could this be the problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.

MBP refers to Macbook Pro
Do the DVD spit out right away? (indicates a bad loader mech)
OR do the DVD spit out after several seconds (indicates a dirty laser diode lens) ?

Content appears in iDVD preview but not on burned disc

Hi there,
I am using a MacBook running Leopard.
I have burned 2 other DVDs using iDVD and havent had this particular issue. I put 5 videos on a DVD. I preview the videos before burning the disc to be sure they appear and are linked to the right button, etc etc. All looks fine. When I select that video to play on my DVD player after I have burned the DVD, I get nothing. Just the Sony DVD brand screen. I have cleaned the disc but it still isnt playing at all. It is almost as if there is nothing there. But it shows up just fine in preview before I burn the disc.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does the finished iDVD play on your mac but not on your home DVD player?
If this is the case, please try a variety of DVD Players at a store that sells these set tops to find out if this happens on most units or not.
Also you say,
I get nothing. Just the Sony DVD brand screen.
Are you referring to the media / DVD Brand or the default screen on a sony set top player?
if it's the latter, try adjusting the inputs and outputs on the set top dvd player thru your remote control.
Lastly, are you using Verbatim / Maxell DVD-R media or some other media?

CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives reads and imports discs, but won't burn CD's

I'm working on my laptop and I can import material from discs, but I can't burn anything to CD. I've tried iTunes and buring from the finder and iPhoto and nothing works. I've tried iTunes the most and here is what usually happens: the disc begins to write and then partway through it gets spit out (after some thumping or whirring noise of some sort) and it says the disc is unusable or unreadable. I've tried several different kinds of discs and none of them work. I've also tried those discs on my G5 and they burn perfectly. On the rare occassion that a disc from iTunes burns all the way through, it ends up sounding really weird... kind of warbly I would said. Any help?

The best method for cleaning an optical drive that I know of is to purchase an optical drive lens cleaner (its a special disc that you insert into the drive and follow the instructions) at your local computer supply store.
One article I saw talks about lasers in optical drives just flat out dying over time -- but this doesn't sound like your situation since you can play, just not record, though maybe it's something to think about since you have had your 'Book for a while.
Finally, take a look at this Kbase article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151900 It seems to suggest (albeit under OS X 10.3.x, but I doubt that matters) that the inability to record on an otherwise operable optical drive lies with the disc being dirty or not the type or brand suitable for your drive. I can't say I agree, totally, with that analysis, but I thought you ought to be aware it's out there.
Try the lens cleaner. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. There are many others.
Good luck.

QT .wav files playback fine on computer, but not on burned CD's

Never had this problem until I updated to Mac OS X.4.8 & QT 7.1.3
Although all .wav, aiff, mpeg files play just fine on computer. However third party hardware (e.g. disc player) no longer seem to recognize audio on CD's burned from computer.
Thought I had the answer when I read forum and went back to System Preferences and made sure the boxes for .wav, etc were checked under MIME
settings. But still same problem.
Is the fix for this export problem the same as I read for movie audio in this forum? Namely download Mpeg Streamclip?
Apologize is this post is redundant, but have read dozens, and none seem to share exactly the same problem.
Specific solution would be much appreciated!
-ekh

Ok Kirk, please help me out here. I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip. Followed directions, but any music files I tried to put in the blue dot box for conversion just bounced back.
I understand what you are saying about QT not being able to export audio. But what then was exporting audio to CD's in the .wav or .aiff format before I downloaded QT 7.1.3?
The thing I have always loved about Macs and music production is their user-friendliness; but these new wrinkles in CD production are really time-consuming when one cannot figure out how to make the applications work.
Sorry for the question again, but I did try many times with the info you gave me, but just having any luck.

ITunes recognizes Nano but not iPhone

All of a sudden, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone. It recognizes my Nano immediately, but not the phone. It shows the phone charging fine, but I can't sync.

It took me the better part of two days to figure this out. Windows on my desktop computer had problems so I did a reinstall. After reinstallation my iphone would not sync with itunes. The computer would see it but not itunes. the odd thing was my iphone worked well with my itunes on my laptop. I called apple and they started off with "we can help you but I need to purchase some phone support for $$$". I said good day to that. Glad we have a forum like this to help each other out.
What I tried
- I did all the basic task on the support page and that didn't work.
- I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall again that didn't work three times.
- I tried to uninstall itunes 9 for 8 and got some error that itunes needed some other file and would not load.
- I then read a post on this board about turning off the USB port. the same thing you are supposed to do when removing a thumb drive by closing the drive before removing it. I then reinstalled itunes 9 and now it works. don't ask me how or why it just does.
Best of luck

USB1 Recognizes iPod But Not USB2

Hi,
I have a Dell laptop with WindowsXP installed. As far as I know my USB2 ports are all properly configured and working correctly. But, for some reason, when my USB2 is enabled, my computer doesn't recognize my (4thGen) iPod.
In order to update the iPod, I have to first disable my USB2, then everything works fine, albeit, at a much slower pave than USB2 (obviously.)\
Has anyone else had this similar problem? And, if so, any answers as to how to correct it?
Thanks!

I was milling around some other posts and tried all the suggestions I could find pertaining to this general issue (changing drive letter of iPod; removing all the USB ports, then re-starting the laptop; purchased an external powered USB2 hub; etc. - all to no avail.
I'm now wondering if, perhaps, this might be a hardware issue, perhaps some type of conflict pertaining to the manufacturer of my USB2 Controller? ( Intel(R)82801/FB/FBM USB2 Enhanced Host Controller -265C )
HECK, I DON'T KNOW! :>)
Again, everything is fine and dandy if I disable the USB2 controller (above), then update, etc. the iPOd in the USB1-mode, but not OK when the USB2 is enabled.

How to tell which items are in iTunes library on disc but not in program library?

I made a mistake the other night and I deleted some items from my iTunes library ... but NOT from disc.
These items are still in my 65 gig iTunes library on disc. Somewhere.
I'd like to re-add these songs. Is there any way to tell which songs in the iTunes library on disc are not in the iTunes program library?
I don't want to have to add all 65 gigs again and then remove all the duplicates
thanks!

You should try dragging some files already in the library into iTunes to see what happens. I just did, and the new iTunes 10.6 seems to be ignoring them. I then made a copy of a file already in the library, and I added both it and the original by dragging and dropping. Only the new file was added. There was no warning about duplicates in either test. So you may be able to drag your whole library back into iTunes.
For when you do want to determine what files on disk aren't in the iTunes library or vice versa, here's one way to do it (if there's an easier way, I'm all ears):
Export your library as a playlist to a text file.
Use a program that can recursively list all your files on disk as full paths and save its output to a text file.
Load the into a decent text editor. I use Notepad++. Then use a regexp search/replace to tidy up the files so that both consist of one fully qualified filename per line.
Sort the files.
Diff the files and examine the differences.
I can do both 4 and 5 in Notepad++.

M1536 Windows 8.1 recognizes printer but not scanner

I just bought a new computer that runs Windows 8.1 64 bit. The computer immediately recognized my printer which is plugged into the router (as is my computer), but not the scanner. I found the software it came with and tried to install it and receiveda "fatal error" with no error code. I tried to download the software from hp's site, and when installing received the same error.How can I get the computer to recognize the scanner?Thanks,

Hi, Default basic driver from Windows allows you to print. You need to install full feature software and driver on new computer to be able to use full functions of your multi-fuction printer (or AIO printer). Please use the CD which came with your printer to install or download from the following link: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL34693/Im-86005-4/hp_M1530_MFP_full_Solution_usb_n_w.exe Regards.

CD drive ejects printed discs but not blank discs.

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook with OS10.6.8. The CD drive will accept blank discs but keeps rejecting printed ones. It accepts them, sounds like it's reading them, then a few seconds later ejects them.
I've reset the SMC and PRAM but this hasn't helped.
Can anyone help me out at all? Thanks

Not sure what you mean by "printed disks." Are you talking about CDs and/or DVDs with printed labels? Using these is a very bad idea. If you mean disks burned in a computer or disks that are manufactured by some other process, let us know.
Best of luck.

DR8 A2 will read some discs but not othere

Hi
Ive recently had to completely rebuild my system due to a fault with the cpu. On the old system, the drive work absolutely fine. But since Ive got this system up and running again (slightly higher spec) both of my DVD drives are playing up (one isnt an MSI drive but it may be relevant).
With some of my discs (including important ones like MS Office etc) the disc will not auto run. When I open My Computer to manually start the setup the name of the DVD drive the disc has been inserted into changes to CD Rom Drive as opposed to what it should be. When I actually try to open the disc this way I am prompted to insert a disc.
Im not sure whether this is the drive or something else. The other possibility I thought of was the drivers installed for the chipset. I have an MSI K7N2 Delta2 motherboard (nForce 2 chipset) and have installed the latest nForce drivers from NVIDIA. These drivers did include an IDE driver, so maybe that is the problem.
Thanks in advance

"Media Pending" in Premiere CS5 (But not After Effects)

Hi All
I've seen links referring to this problem for CS4 but the solution did not seem to resolve the CS5 issue.
I can playback an MPEG file in After Effects CS5 but not in Premiere. Trying to export to a Premiere project made the system to hang and required a re-boot when opening in Premiere.
The video was renamed from a JVC .TOD file to a .MPEG file and plays back fine in Windows Media player, without any other files associated with it.
Strange that other apps play it fine and premiere not. Any suggestions?
Thanks

As a matter of interest, in case anyone else gets the same issue...
Having opened the file in After Effects, re-booted and re-started Premiere, the file now plays back in Premiere. Even though I'd restarted Premiere several times, it appears that only after starting and opening the file in AE did the codec somehow get "registered" in Premiere...
Anyway, problem solved....
