Recordable DVD with info on it shows up blank

I have a DVD+R that has photos on it in jpeg format. When inserted into my MB Pro, Snow Leopard, 10.6.5, the DVD shows that it is empty and available for burning.
The same DVD shows all of the photos just fine in an iMac, 10.5.8, and it does not see the DVD as blank.
How do I get the MB Pro to recognize that the DVD is not blank, but has photos on it?
Thanks

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Issue with the App Store showing up blank.

Issue with the App Store, it will not let me search for new apps. The screen is blank. The update section and features section works, but it will not let me search for new apps. I have restarted my phone and no changes. The newest update to the iphones when the iphone 5 came out, i think, messed up this app. When i am looking at how to fix it, it tells me to delete it and try again, but the App store is not a deletable app. Any ideas why my App store, specifically the search section of this app doesn't work?

I suspect it is on Apple's side of things. Mine was blank too, but now it works again. Fixed itself one morning.

Problems with a thread that records dvd on suse linux

PLEASE HELP
I am using SuSE linux, and I record dvd+/- RW with the program growisofs.
By command line on the linux shell, growisofs records normally, but when I try to use the same line cone that I use in the shell in a java thread, it never stops recording, I mean, it records all data, but it apparently does not close the dvd session, for the grenn light on the drive never stops blinking, and I have to stop the proccess manually, because it never releases the dvd drive.
I use the thread in a large program, but for debugging this I have made a simple program, whose error is the same.
the code is:
        String s = "/usr/local/bin/growisofs -speed=1 -M /dev/dvdram -V MIS27 -A growisofs -P MedImServer " +
           " -p MedImServer -sysid Linux -J -R -l -relaxed-filenames -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot /windows/C/online";
       Process p;
            try {
                p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(s);
                p.waitFor();
            catch (IOException ex) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"erro no runtime");
                System.exit(0);
            catch (InterruptedException ex1) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"erro no waitfor");
                System.exit(0);
            }with JBuilder 9 debug, I realized that it freezes at the moment of "p.waitFor()".
I thought that it was a problem with the recording software, but it is not: the same command line that I use in the program I have used in the Linux shell and it recorded perfectly. The program does not require any user interaction but the command line I wrote before. The problem with the Java program is that it records all data, but never returns from the process. It's not a problem with the software, for it records perfectly when it's not called within the Java program, so I imagine that it is some funny thing in either the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) or the p.wait().
Better yet:
Is there a way to record dvds with a java command instead with an exteranal program?
This would be the heaven...
IF it is possible, do it require some sun package?

I tried to execute it, and it indeed doesn't freeze, but it doesn't record a thing either...
now it doesn't even wait for the thread, which is VERY weird: it does not record a thing!!! It just passes by the line 'p.waitFor()'...
Any sugestion?
By the way, thanks for helping me...

PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

Hi everybody,
I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Thanks for your help !

I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Why not? It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't. At least it's worth a try.
In case you change you mind get it from here.

Older CD's show as blank

Much to my surprise, I tried to open older CD's with photos and they showed as blank?????? Is there anything I can do to get these photos. some but not all of these CD's are as old as 1985. Running iPhoto 08, and Leopard.

Homemade CDs (and DVDs) don't last for ever unfortunately.
Make sure they are clean (by which I mean dust and scratch free, not referring to the content!) and also try them on asnother computer in case it is your superdrive - which you could also try cleaning.

Built in Isight recording but clip shows up blank and with 00:00 reading

Hello,
I have had a look around the forum and found one specific topic with a similar problem to mine, but it was unanswered!
I have been trying to record some clips with imovie HD (on my macbook) with my built in isight camera and everytime I go to play a clip back it has a fuzzy noise at the end of the clip which distorts the sound.
Also alot of the clips record and then when they show up in the clips panel they show a blank black square with the 00:00 as the time recorded.
This problem only started today and I also bear in mind that I upgraded my memory today to 1GB.
I used imovie yesterday and it worked perfectly and I have never had problems before.
Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I guess the next thing would be to trash the preferences and run a permissions repair.
Quit iMovie.
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. imovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files can be found here:

Recording Camcorder video to DVD with Satellite 1900

I have just tried to record a video from my camcorder to a DVD-R but kept getting the message 'drive not found' My computer is a Satellite 1900 and happily plays DVD's. but would appear not to want to record them.
Does the type of DVD make any difference, is there a way to make the computer recognise the disc in drive E:
The video happily transfers from the camera to the computer and I can play it on the computer but cannot transfer it to a DVD disc, anyone with any ideas??

Hi
One question; do you have an DVD writer or only the DVD reader!?
Please be sure that you can also burn DVD with your notebook and not only view.
Second question; what burning applications did you use?
I use Nero and its my favorite burning program. It supports many burning modes and burns the medium with best performance.

Item text in Purchase Order getting updated with info. record Purchase Order Text

Hello All,
I am working in a roll out project and facing issue in text repeating twice for the line item in the Purchase Order for the new company code for which rollout is happening
Issue:
Item text in Purchase Order getting updated with info. record Purchase Order Text
01) PO Text is maintained in the material master under "Purchase Order Text" tab
02) The PO text that is maintained in material master is getting updated in the Purchase Info. Record
03) When Purchase Order is created, the "Item Text" gets updated in the Purchase Order automatically only for the new company code for which rollout is happening. when printed, this results in the text getting duplicated twice
03.1) this behavior is not observed in the Plants/ Company code that is already Live
Configurations in the system:
The copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" is
Source Object = "Info Record", Source Text="Purchase Order Text", Fix="*"
We have modified the Purchase Order form to print one of the condition types maintained for calculating the tax. Other than this there is no change to the plants that are already live.
I could not locate any "Purchase Organization" / "Company Code" / "Plant specific configuration.
Am I missing any configuration or where can I look in what is causing this error.
Request help from the experts in the forum.
with Regards,
Dhandapani R

There is no company/purchasing/plant specific customizing for purchase order text.
The customizing copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" affects all equally .
If the text in the purchase order in ME23N is already filled different to other plants, then you either have a modification in place, or the texts are differently maintained in the referenced data (vendor, material, info record, contract)

Hi
No Menu on DVD
from. Mishmunken
How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

I created a slide show using my photos on iphoto can I burn this to a dvd with the music in the backgroun

I created a slide show using photos from iphoto and I was able to put it to music to view it on my mac. I am trying to figure out a way to download it or burn it to a DVD with the music in order that it can be given as a gift. Also is there a way to use multiple songs for the slideshow.
thanks much

First if you slideshow requires more than one audio track go to iTunes and create a new playlist with the music you want. You can take the total time of the playlist and divide by the number of slides to get the approximate playing time for each slide.
In iDVD go into the slideshow window and then click on the Audio button at the right. Locate the playlist and drag it into the music bin at the bottom of the window.
Click to view full size
Be sure that non of the audio tracks are DRM protected tracks from the iTunes store. You won't be able to use them if they are. And remember this is only for slideshows created by iDVD from still photos imported from iPhoto.

W520 Replace DVD with another Hard Drive and IEEE 1394 spec for music recording

To increase the performance, I am taking the 160 GB SSD instead of the mechanical drive. Obviouslt, I need more space than this. I don't care about the DVD rom. It can't play blu ray anyway. Is it possible to replace the dvd drive with a hard drive? Where can I get a replaceable drive for this? What do I do with the DVD? Can I sell it back?
I need to do music recording with this. I was wondering about the IEEE 1394 spec; the latency etc. If I remember correctly the W510 IEEE1394 was very good, probably was manufactured by Texas Instruments. I could not find anything about it anywhere. Not even here: http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf
Also, a bit worried about the sound card. How good is it? Did anyone use this laptop for music recording?

hey udvranto,
with regard to this, i would suggest contacting tech support via the number listed in the link below to check if it is possible to replace the dvd with your harddrive.
http://www.lenovo.com/contact/us/en/
on the part of the soundcard, I believe it is good for music recording. Though this really depends on the software that you're going to use to record.

My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no errors.
I tried to reinstall driver.
I downloaded new codec
I tried Microsoft FIX IT
Nothing worked.
Need some help.
Thank you!!
Paul

Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
Hope this helps you.
