Replaced CD with DVD in firewire box - problems.

Heres an odd one.
I had a trusty old Lacie 1394 CDRW drive, essentially a CD drive in a firewire connecting box. It became less trusty and gave up so I replaced the drive in the Firewire box with an LG DVDRW drive.
I can burn and read CD's from finder and iTunes but tried to play a DVD and got "A valid DVD drive could not be found (-70012)" from DVD player. I can look at the files on the DVD in Finder. However the system profiler still sees the firewire dvice as a Lacie 1394.
I presume the Lacie device box has some way of making sure it has an identity. Has anybody had such a problem and found a fix.

You may wish to read over the site below for Patchburn. When SP gives you lame information that is because device profiles are generally missing. Anyway it is well worth a try.

  • Authoring problem with DVD-ROM content, Authoring problem with DVD-ROM content

    Out of nowhere, I can't seem to add DVD-ROM content to my latest DVD. The folder is about 1100 photos and weighs in at 1.6GB. The content is accepted, the DVD burns and all seems right until you try to access the DVD folders. The video plays beautifully. The folder structure displays but I can't even get the VIDEO_TS folder to display detail consistently.  This isn't my first time to the fair, I've been authoring with DVDSP for 8-9 years.
    I went back and reviewed the the procedure step-by-step, I even re-named all the photos to comply with ISO 9660 naming conventions...  no joy.  I've
    burned it with and without the Joliet Extension Support, no difference.
    I'm on an (early 2008) 8x3.2GHz Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and FCS3.
    Anyone ever seen this? I'm stumped.

    Michael, thanks for the response. It turns out it's both the size and quantity of photos.
    I feel stupid for not solving this earlier, but it took a trip to one of my back-up systems to see the problem:
    The SuperDrive simply doesn't have the bandwidth to quickly transfer sufficient info to display these additional folders. I tried the same DVD on one of my souped up G5 dualies (with new 16X burner) and it seemed to incrementally display the folders. That's when I realized that a DVD with a couple of GB of video on it is a poor display system. LOL
    I'll re-organize the data into more, smaller folders and instruct the recipients to be patient or drag the folders to their desktop.

  • Replace VCR with DVD recorder

    This might seem an obvious question but I'm wanting to replace my VCR with a DVD recorder. I'm confused about needing one with a tuner or not. Is it just like the VCR? I have straight cable form the wall into the VCR into the TV. Is it the same or do I need one with a tuner? On most I don't see a place where the cable goes into the recorder.
    Will someone help to unconfuse this old timer? 
    Thanks

    Best replacement for a VCR.....TIVO I love mine

    so what
    greetings from berlin

    Greetings,
    It appears to be a FW problem, possibly flaky case, or drive problem.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Satellite C850 - boot from DVD issue - want to replace Win8 with Win7U

    Got a new C850-1JZ yesterday and am trying to replace pre-installed Win 8 with Windows 7. I did create the recovery media (3 DVDs).
    The laptop is driving me "insane" as it seems to block any attempt to boot anything else other than Win8 on the preinstalled hdd.
    1.) Inserted Win 7 Ultimate DVD and tried to boot, would not boot from disk.
    2.) Loaded advanced boot menu and tried to boot from ODD, would not boot from disk it. (Options are LAN, USB, HDD, and ODD (assuming this is optical disk drive)
    3.) Changed regular bios settings boot priority to boot from ODD first, then HDD, would not boot from disk.
    4.) Learned there is a "security boot protection" mechanism enabled by default in the bios. Turned it off. Machine starts loading from ODD and says "Windows is loading files" then hangs. This is a MS original Win7 Ultimate disk from the Microsoft store, no scratches. Makes no sense. We actually have 2 of them, so I tried the other, same result.
    5.) Thought screw that, let's just put the hard drive from the other computer (T61) in here then and do clean new setup another time. Replaced hdd with other sata hdd that has Win 7 ultimate installed and system configured. When booting from hdd, it says "No OS" found and reboots. When booting from ODD, it starts with windows is loading files again and then freezes.
    What kind of other extra protection/virus blocker/stupid setting am I missing here? This is puzzling me. Thanks.

    *Thanks as***, that solves the problem.*
    After 10 days Toshiba Support in Germany came back with the same answer.
    Basically it seems the UEFI Firmware has some reference to Win 8 or the original OS and key and boat loader that is checks, and you cannot load anything else until you disable it by:
    1) In the BIOS, disable "secure boot" mode
    2) In the BIOS advanced settings, switch from UEFI to CMS mode.
    Then you should be able to install anything as the new OS.
    Also, if you want to write down your product key / serial number , since it is not printed anywhere (e.g. no sticker on the bottom of the laptop) [Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit|http://belarc.com/free_download.html] is a good tool to retrieve this from the registry and write it down.
    As far as I know it's "glued" to this particular hardware, so not portable, but it might be a good idea to write it down in case you lose the system recovery disk but would want to re-install it with the original serial number.

  • "Dialog box "PROBLEM WITH SHORTCUT"

    When my T40 p starts up I keep getting the following message, over and over again until I close the system tray IBM Connect bar. 
    "Dialog box “PROBLEM WITH SHORTCUT”
    The drive or network connection that the shortcut IBM Access Support.lnk refers to is unavailable.  Make sure that the disc is properly inserted to the network resource is available, and then try again. "
    Help!

    You'll need to find your iTunes folder. It's usually located on your main hard disk under My Documents/My Music/iTunes. Copy this whole folder to another hard drive (if possible) or burn it on a CD (probably will take more than one--depending upon how large your library is) or DVD. Once you have a good backup of your library, try downloading and reinstalling iTunes.

  • No sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem.

    no sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem. No sounds coming out from the speakers, even after reset everything. Mute button is assigned for mute function instead of screen rotation lock.

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Problems with DVD writer

    I recently built a new machine with a P965 Platinum MB.  I put in a Optiarc AD7170 DVD writer.  Even though I was able to install windows XP with it, I immediately had problems once windows XP was up and running.  The MSI utility CD wouldn't run.  Windows explorer would hang up.  I would also get some fatal windows errors.  I replaced the DVD writer with a CD writer that I had laying around and everything was fine. 
    I put the DVD writer in my older machine and it works fine.  I also had a friend try it in his and everything was OK.
    I couldn't find anything on the web about this particular brand.  There was some mentions in this forum about JMicron.  Could there be some incompatibility with the writer and the motherboard or the JMicron controller?

    I have a similar but actually quite different problem.  My p965platinum's BIOS won't even show my IDE drives,  sometimes,  well most of the time..

    I have reset the CMOS several times and once in a great while the IDE and the devices,  1 WD60GB HDD and 1 Asus 1814 DVDR/RW,  will show and work.   I have changed out the cables several times and It showed up one time.  I just bought a new cable (24" rnd 80) and that hasn't helped. I have checked the power plugs to the devices and they have power.     I have set the drives from IDE - SATA - etc.   No go.  The DVD's jumper is set to Master and is at the end of the cable,  the HDD is set to Slave  on the middle of the cable. 
    Can't see a correlation but Boot.ini running in PAE mode.
    Could there be something wrong with the board or the BIOS?
    Twice I have done a hard shutdown and it has showed up.  But when I restart or shut it down for the night It won't show when it starts back up??   System Restore does nothing.
    On other old BIOS' I could hit a key to "detect" drives,  but this BIOS has no option for that.  Everything it "Auto".
    Any help would be appreciated

  • 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.

    I went to my local Apple store last weekend with a similar issue on my 2007 C2D MBP and they quoted me a price of around £60 (excluding VAT) to replace the optical drive. That's about the same price as the external optical drive a bought for my RMBP.
    Alternatively you could just buy a 3rd party external drive if you want to save cash but note that the external Apple superdrive is not compatible with MacBooks with built in optical drives.

  • I'm not able to pair my iPad with my Logitech mini-Boombox. I was able to do this on my original iPad. I was having a problem on an unrelated matter, and the Apple store replaced it with a new device. Previously, all Bluetooth devices worked fine;

    I'm not able to pair my iPad via Bluetooth with my Logitech mini-Boombox. I recently brought my iPad to the Apple Store for an unrelated problem, and they replaced it with a new device. The old device had no problem pairing with any of my Bluetooth devices. I'm only haveing the problem with my new device. I was able to pair it with my Apple wireless keyboard, but not the mini-Boombox. I think I've done everything that I've read in other forum posts: I've toggled the Bluetooth setting on and off; I've reset the iPad a couple times; I've turned off and on the mini-Boombox; I've recharged the mini-Boombox. What am I missing here, and how can I fix this?

  • Firewire audio problems with OS X 10.5.6

    Hello,
    I’m experiencing audio problems with Firewire 400 on my Macbook running Mac OSX 10.5.6.
    I’ve got a 2.4Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM and 59 GB available on the internal HD.
    It’s hooked up to a brand new Mackie D.4 mixer with 2 Firewire outputs. The problems occur on both Firewire outputs.
    I’ve installed automatically from the software update (which I will never do again) to 10.5.6. I never tried the D.4 with 10.5.5 so I can’t tell if the problems occur there also.
    The main problem is that after a couple of minutes of recording the sound starts to break up and get really distorted. After a while the sound comes back again.
    The second problem is that Soundtrack Pro or Audacity don’t get any audio input from the D.4, although audio input is clearly visible in System Preferences – Sound.
    The only sound program that works with all 14 Firewire channels is Ableton, but also in Ableton the distortion occurs.
    An example of the distortion can be checked here:
    http://media.kaalslag.com/firewire-distortion-problem-mackieD4+Macbook.mp3
    I’ve roamed several forums and sites to solve the problem and I tried these solutions:
    I updated again to 10.5.6. with the full combo download from the Apple site. Restarted. Problem still there.
    I shut Airport off, because lots of sites mentioned problems with Airport conflicting with audio/firewire. Didn’t work.
    I did the work around with shutting the Macbook off, disconnecting the D.4, restarting the Macbook, opening Audio/Midi Setup, connecting the D.4 again, toggling the format frequencies a couple of times. Again, no use.
    Right now I’m using my “old” Macbook again to record from vinyl. This one is still running on OSX 10.4.11. No problems so far.
    I’ve had the distortion problems occuring before with an USB interface. Hoped that the Mackie Firewire would solve the problem, but it seems now that there’s a serious audio Firewire problem which is still not solved in OSX 10.5.
    Any help, tips and/or a work around would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    You could try using another computer in Target Disk mode (as an "external HD"), or you can connect the firewire cable and disconnect all other network cables (turning off airport). Then on each computer go to the "Network" system preferences and select "Built-in Firewire" from the list of ports and choose "Manually" from the drop-down menu next to "Configure". Enter the following IP addresses and subnet masks, apply the changes.
    _Computer 1_
    IP Address: 192.168.1.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    _Computer 2_
    IP Address: 192.168.1.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    After those ip addresses are entered and you've clicked "Apply", ensure that for both computers you have file sharing enabled (done in the "Sharing" system preferences), and then check the Finder sidebar to see if the computers can see each other (their names should appear under "Shared" in the sidebar--if not, try restarting).
    If the computers dont appear (even after restarting), using the "Connect To" option that's available in the Finder's "Go" menu. In there, to connect to another computer enter it's IP address as follows:
    afp://IP_ADDRESS
    If you're on the computer with the ip address of 192.168.1.1, you would enter 192.168.1.2 as "IP_ADDRESS". The "afp" is the protocol (just like "http" for web), and stands for "Apple Filing Protocol"...Apple's file sharing protocol.

  • Replace WRT54 with WRT600N, xp-vista problem

    In the wired network are: XP (host) 1Vista 32 and 1 Vista 64.
    With WRT54GS everything worked fine. I replaced WRT54GS with WRT600N. The VISTA32 and XP are working finne. The VISTA 64 does not see the router as computer anymore and also does not see the XP computer. The XP can not access the VISTA64.
    Any ideas?

    Problem solved, The security settings in Norton detected that the router did change and prohibited the see and access.
    BTW, if you have similar problems you can call up the drive attached to the router by entering \\WRT600N and see it, than map it. You mostlikely will have to enter the access user and password (default admin and  admin if not changed)
    Everything works fine now.
