"Sony_Volume_Recorder_Volume DVD" not showing files

Hi all,
I had some video tapes transferred onto dvd by a local company. When I got them
home I tried to open the dvd on my Mac to transfer files onto my hard drive but I got the message
above "SonyVolume_RecorderVolume DVD" with small no entry symbol on the folder. I have done a bit of research so I know Sony is not compatible with Mac (- I wish I knew before I had them transferred!) but I don't know how to get these video files to show so that I can save them?
I must stress, these are my home videos; I own the rights to them. I just want to be able to
save them and maybe edit them iMovie.
Is there some special software I can buy to open these sony dvds? I read about
the Terminal thingy; but when I am wary about going into the "guts" of the computer?
I did try some "sudo" thing in Terminal I found on the internet, but it didn't work.
Can anyone help? Am really frustrated at not being able to save these precious memories properly.
Many thanks

Hi,
the format is Universal Disk Format (UDF)
It says under Sharing and Permissions that I have no access
and the files will not show up in the folder which has a no entry sign on it.
These are my own home movies; I just had them copied from video to dvd in the hopes of
saving them forever.
Thanks,

Bridge does not shows file info, just thumbnails, what's going on? already adjusted in preferences, but still only thumbnails and not the info of the file

Bridge 8.5 does not shows file info, already adjusted in preferences but still just showing thumbnails only.
Can anyone please help?

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

Burned dvd not showing name or files.

I have burned an archive dvd by copying files onto the blank dvd and selecting the "burn" button from the finder window. Everything burns correctly and once the dvd has finished being verified, I have my uniquely named dvd and files displayed.
However, once the dvd is ejected, and then re-inserted, the dvd no longer has the name I have given it, and shows no files in the window.
How do I correct this? Are all the archive dvds I've burned no good?
Robb

The above burned dvds mount correctly on other drives and files can be copied from them.
How do I get my drive to recognize these dvds as having been burned and contain data?

DVDs not showing up in Finder (CDs OK)

I have lots of data archived on DVD. Now DVDs suddenly will not show up on the desktop, data or otherwise. Odd, because I just burned a DVD last night.
Didn't there used to be a CD/DVD control panel in System Prefs? Seems to be gone in OS X 10.34.9

Indeed, because I definitely needed that file.
I ran the combo updater, but no CD/DVD preference pane. I'm not gonna worry about that since things ran fine without it (up till now). Don't want the bother of an Archive and Install, which still might not fix it.
My current suspect for all this is my CD/DVD drive. For several months I've had intermittent problems trying to eject discs and I've done every software fix I can think of and then some. Spent more time working "on" my computer than working with it. So I've ordered the Pioneer version of the Superdrive and we'll see if that fixes it.
Thanks for the suggestions.

HI Gary,
At least you could retrieve important files off the
one DVD! That's something.
I'm mystified why CD/DVD doesn't show up in your
System Prefs. Try the 10.4.9 combo updater but also
make sure you check to make sure you have any
Firmware updates also. If you do the combo update,
download that from the Apple site, not the Software
Updater:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_upd
ates/macosx1049comboupdateppc.html
If necessary, can you back everything up and do
either an Archive and Install or Erase and Install?

Importing from DVD not showing full video

I'm trying to import a video (VOB file) from a DVD, but the full frame of the video is not showing. The frame size that is importing seems to be importing as a different frame size than the video is and I can't seem to change it. The import seems to be cropping it. If I adjust the size in the Program Sequence window, it is showing the cropped version of the video.
Can any of the other files on the DVD be imported such as the IFO file?

... What other formats can iMovie & iDVD use? What do you recommend? ...just dv. and for stills jpeg, tifff.. and for music aiff, mp3... but that was not your question any other video-codec gets converted/has to be converted...
... which are apparently very, very big - one half-hour folder was 6 GB...rule: 1h video = ~13Gb... that is the amount of data on tape... iM uses a digital copy of that. many other codecs do a much better compression, BUT lossy!
... many times bigger than it needs to be...no, a video-DVD is meant for playback only...the compression codec just stores the delta(=difference) from frame to frame... for edit purposes, you need the info of EVERY frame on tape...
... How should I adjust the settings if I want to get an hour's worth of video & audio on a standard 4.7 GB blank DVD-R?
...you don't do settings using iDVD. this app needs a dv stream to work in the highest possible quality. use the export to iDVD feature of iM.
in case, you spend a few k$, you can buy DVDSP, including a tool called Compressor... after learning a few years to handle it, you can result smaller files with higher quality.....

DVDs not showing up correctly on desktop

I have a friend who is having this problem and I tried to help last night:
DVDs that are authored in DVD Studio Pro or iDVD will show up on the desktop as DVDs with the round DVD icon w/DVD logo on the icon. DVDs that are recorded on a set top Sony DVD recorder show up as a folder with a red minus sign on the bottom.
We both have the same kind of computers, same version system software, etc.
What we're trying to do with the DVD is open it up in MPEG Streamclip, so we can extract the M2V and AC3 files off and re-author with custom menus.
On my computer this morning, the recorded DVD showed up as a folder with a minus sign, but MPEG Streamclip was able to recognize that it was a disc in the first place, whereas the friend's computer - MPEG Streamclip did not recognize that there was a disc there.
The discs do actually mount on the computers and are playable in Apple's DVD Player in both cases. In MPEG Streamclip I have been going to "Open DVD" and on my computer the DVD shows up in that left pane with all the hard drives, networked drives, flash drives, etc., so I'm able to select it. But on the friend's computer, it does not show up in that left pane where it can be selected. So I can't get to the DVD's directory in the first place.
I tried everything I knew how, and researched a bit online as well, and I think I learned that the folder with the minus sign in general is related to permissions. I also saw online that this may be a Sony DVD recorder thing with their navigation structure.
However, we had a disc on the friend's computer that did work a few weeks ago in MPEG Streamclip, but doesn't now. So I think there must have been some setting that was changed. Roxio Toast may have been installed after this first DVD was readable, but I didn't see anything in Toast's preferences that would seem to affect this.
I'd like to try a disc that was recorded on my Panasonic DVD recorder on the friend's computer next time I get out that way.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Casey Petersen

Hmmm...that's interesting with the Sidebar preference...I'll have to check that on the other computer whenever I get out there next. I'll try disabling it on mine to see if it does the same thing.
Thanks!

Excel 2010 inplace not showing File tab

Wondering if anyone else having an Excel 2010 inplace issue not showing the File ("Backstage") tab to allow Save or Save As operations? Noticed others searched SAP xSearch help with similar Excel 2010 search terms but nothing relevant returned...
We're on ERP 6.04, NW 7.01sp5, SAPGUI 7.20sp2 with Excel 2010 running on XP sp3.
Thanks in advance (and full points) for any resolution ideas or issue confirmations before opening an OSS ticket :>

Is the "File"-Button now working in your environment or not?
(We don't use SAPGui 7.10 and EHP ... but we will upgrade in a few month)
Note 1408098 looks like there is no solution for the crash-issue, right?
The only solution/workaround is to put the icons into the quickmenu-bar.

Blank CD/DVDs not showing up in finder

Hi,
When I insert a brand new blank cd or dvd, it does not show up in finder or the desktop, which is how i used to make data dvds and such. however it does write in itunes or idvd, it will write to it and recognize it. any ideas?

Open up preferences and then go to CDs & DVDs. For the options on "When you insert a blank CD/DVD" choose "Open Finder." This should work for you.

Folders not showing files

I'm currently using a 13" Macbook Pro purchased in early 2011 and running on OSX Mavericks.
I've been using the third party software Mackeeper for well over a year now and it's been great. I make good use of the encryption service that the app provides and there has been no misshap with it until now. A month ago my computer crashed, something to do with the wiring between the motherboard and the hardrive. When they fixed the problem my Mac was returned to me with absolutely no discernible data loss.
However, I only just unencrypted some of my files in Mackeeper to check through them. All the files are intact except for one particular folder. "Get Info" States that the folder is filled with data and there are over 200 files in it, but clicking on it only opens up an empty finder window. I've tried googling for solutions but I can't find any.
Can anyone help?

Hi Everyone,
I was experiencing the same. on the XP box it just wouldnt show anything period and on the Mac, the finder would briefly display the contents of the drive before disappearing. Spoke to Tier 2 and they thought I should reformat the drive, since he thought it likely that due to severing the drives connection that the format was corrupt...
I did manage to fix it myself and I'll tell you how. First I hardwired the drive via USB to the Mac. noticed an item called FROM which had no size, no date modified and type was --. I deleted the RECYCLED folder (which results when you delete something from the drive thru XP)
then i hardwired it to the PC. deleted the "FROM" folder which in this case was a file folder, and 237MB approx in size. I also deleted the ".DSStore" and ".Trashes" files. .DSStore is basically the icon cache and .Trashes is when you delete something on the airdisk from the Mac. reconnected the drive and POOF! it worked Problem is now solved.
So to summate, i think in my case it was more the discrepancy between the FROM not showing up as anything on the Mac, versus it being a full fledged folder to windows xp. i just thought i would pass this along...

Finder not showing files when I open folder

A folder on my external hard drive which I was just editing/ doing some file organization with,
contains 60gb of data.
Lots of files and folders in it.
For no apparent reason,
it is now showing nothing in it when I open it,
Still says size is 60gb, but when I open it, the files do not show.
What is going on?
I need to work on these files.
If you can help me with this, it would a huge help.
Thank you.
ps. in Mountain Lion 10.8.2, late 2011 macbook pro.

[Please note, the plugin I mention is NOT a finder substitute. It is a plugin, and merely gives the finder tabs.
If I disable this plugin, the result is the same in the "original" finder. Although when I say "original" I was using finder all along anyway.]
I shouldn't have mentioned it, it is superfluous info.
I dragged and dropped files using finder, that's all that needed to be said really.
It would obviously make no sense to ask questions about finder if I was not using finder.
Okay, I have to say, this is incredibly strange :
After comparing the two separate drives,
it seems I DID actually move the files to another folder [and forgot / was unsure of this],
however, the info box still says the original folder I mention is 60gb, with one file [which does not appear when I open it]
and finder is not displaying the increase in size in the folder [I'll call it folder 2] I moved the files to.
I wonder if I delete the original folder, are the sub-folders I moved to folder no.2 going to be deleted?
Are they still somehow connected to the original folder?
I was moving things around to try and merge all my files and folders into one folder [folder no.2]

Copy does not show File 2 metadata in Nikon View NX

A picture opened in Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 and saved as a copy jpeg (after color correction) when opened in Nikon View NX 1.5.2 does not show the
metadata with shutter speed, lens aperture, etc. However, that same picture shows the original info in Photoshop (File info > camera data). I wrote Nikon and they claimed Photoshop and other third part apps "ruin the shooting data." Opinions? Suggestions? Thanks

Well the problem is that, in Windows, the menu bar is owned by the application. When you view the PDF in the browser, the browser owns the menu bar and chooses what to show. Hence it shows only the browser items and not the Reader menus. If you view it outside the browser, Reader is running stand-alone and shows it's menu items.
I think, all you can do is show make sure the button bars you want are exposed by default.

Import images grid does not show file extension

I use Aperture in a "referenced" mode. At times, I have jpeg files in the same folder as my nef files (which had already been imported into Aperture). The import images list does not have (or I cannot find out how to display) the file name that shows the file extension too. Of the data available, i can scroll to the right and see a lot of different metadata in the list, but not the file extension.
Does anyone know how to have the file extension displayed in the list that is shown when trying to import?
thanks

Aperture can display just about anything you would like to display. The key is putting the correct field into the metadata set for that is being used for the browser or viewer that is active (you can have two ready to go and switch between them or none with a shortcut key)
This should tell you everything you ever didn't want to know

DVD not showing up

At some point, my TiBook just gave up the ghost of CDs/DVDs, it played them fine then suddenly, it would accept them but not show them on the hard drive. Any thoughts on whether this is a software issue or a hardware issue?

Is this because i am an idiot and need a DVD drive?
Have you got a DVD drive?
Have you been able to playback DVDs before? If not, then you may very well need a DVD drive... not just a CD drive.
You'll be able to tell what you have by looking in 'My Computer' when there are no discs in the drives. The drives should show up as things like: 'CD-ROM Drive(D:)' or 'CD/DVD Drive(D:)'. If none of the drives have DVD in the title, you may just need a DVD drive.
If you have any luck getting them to show up, take a look at this thread for help on ripping DVDs to iPod.

In Photoshop Element 9, when opening the Organise section, the top bar does not show File, etc.?

Just reinstalled Photoshop Ele,ents 9 onto Windows 7.
In the Editt part,on opening, all is well. This clearly show the top bar where youcan call and enter from the file to work with items on your computer.
However, on the Organise section, this to bar does not show at all, therefoere you are unable to do any work as you cannot import items from anywhere.
How do I get this to work now.

You should ensure your font/text size is 100% or 96 dpi in the Windows control panel or you may need to adjust the native screen resolution of your monitor. Alternatively try keyboard shortcuts to access the menus.

Finder not showing file comments

I have my Finder window customized to show Kind, Size, Date Added, and Comments for all my files. The issue is that the Comments column does not show any info even though the file itself contains that information in its metadata. This info is visable by certain applications such as iTunes and Traktor. The files I am working with specifically are mp3. Why

Very strange!
It should be safe to remove the file. As for the icons being gone, click on Finder in your dock, then go to the "Finder" menu, right next to the  in your menubar. Select "Preferences..." In the window that appears, make sure the boxes are checked that refer to the icons that should show on your desktop.
If that doesn't fix it, try creating a new user account on your Mac.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
Log into that account and see if icons show up on your desktop. If so, there might be a problem with the preferences and settings files in your original user account.
Let us know if that helps!
