My time capsule suddenly stopped recognizing my computers.
My time capsule suddenly stopped recognizing both my mac book and my mac pro. It used to work fine and now every time I log into a computer I can't back up (and the time capsule has a green light). I have tried resetting time capsule but no success (maybe I am doing it wrong. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
So I have had the same problem, try this fix for Airport Extreme/Time Capsule .

DVD Player suddenly stops recognizing and playing homemade DVDs
The DVD Player in our G5 has suddenly stopped recognizing and playing some home made movies on DVD from several friends. These discs played just fine before, but now we get a message that says "supported disc not available".
I've got the latest version of DVD Player 4.6.5. Why would it suddenly stop reading all these DVDs? Thanks for any ideas or help. Bob Krist
G5 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.7) SONY DVD RW DW-Q28A playerMy experience/opinon:
Without blaming Apple, it is a DigitalRightsManagment
problem, Apple is obligated to fullfill. You will
find that your homemade DVD plays fine on any
ordinary PC or even annother MAC-environment, just
not on your own.
As of Mac-OS-X.46(5 not quite sure ) Support for
UDF-Format ceased,
I believe to have read somewhere. So your DVD is
mounted, but does'nt
show up on the desktop.
I am using OSX 10.4.7 (Build 8J135) DVD Player 4.6.5 (Framework 4.6.6)
Home-made video DVD-Rs work fine. DVD player starts when a disk is inserted. The disk shows up on desktop. Get Info and Disk Utility show UDF (Universal Disk Format). Finder shows the VIDEO_TS folder, .VOB files, etc. Get Info's Preview window will even play the .VOB files.
So, UDF read support is still in OSX 10.4.7 OSX has never had UDF write support except for iDVD.
I personally record movies from TV, legally. And my
solution to that problem is to create a Disk-Image,
that I burn on a data-disc, and I don't use
DVD-Player.
DVD Imager <http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html> will create UDF disk image files from VIDEO_TS folders. When you burn these with Disk Utility they will play in standalone DVD players and in Macs. They will start Apple's DVD Player when inserted.
Toast can also create UDF disks.
If you create non-UDF disks (e.g. with Disk Utility), most standalone DVD players will not play them and Apple's DVD player will not start automatically when the DVDs are inserted. You can still play them with Apple's DVD Player by using "Open DVD Media" from its "File" menu and choosing the VIDEO_TS folder. -
Why would my Apple TV suddenly stop recognizing my library. Nothing has changed. How can I test the Apple TV. I have the latest updates.
Could have to do with home sharing. Try turining off and then back on home sharing on your AppleTV.

Final Cut Suddenly Stopped Recognizing Files It Had Recognized Before
FCE 4 has suddenly stopped recognizing certain files that it has recognized without a problem for the past several years I’ve used the program. It won’t recognize 1920x1080 mp4, but it WILL recognize 1920x1080 mov and it WILL recognize 1080x720 mp4. All .h264 codec. Using AIC 1080x60i in FCE. It also won’t recognize .jpg or .tif. There was no software update that could have thrown this off. It was a working one day, not working the next kind of situation. Files play fine in QT. Reinstalled the program. I still get the same File Error: Unknown File. Any ideas?
This is the Final Cut Pro X forum. You are likely to get more adequate help in the Final Cut Express forum.

Thank you!Have you tried trashing uour FCE preferences? That is usually the first step when FCE begins to act in unexpected ways. Reinstalling the app will not overwrite existing preferences - you need to trash them.
You can download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) and it will do all the work for you. Do a Google search.

Superdrive suddenly stopped recognizing DVDs and DVD-Rs
Okay, I just spend 2 whole days trying to find any situation like this. Trouble shooting and experimenting.
Whilst burning a CD with Toast the process suddenly stopped during verification and an error was given. The CD spit out. It was just some music and I had work to do, so.. I went on to burning some data onto a DVD-R.
The Disk went in. Spun. Made a noise like the when a reader is trying to figure out what the media is. A Grrrrr. It spins some more. A long pause of about a minute.
Then the disk is spit out. No error. The disk is never recognized. Toast asks for blank media again. Keep in mind, just before this I was burning DVD-Rs. Same Media. Same process. Just stopped to burn the music CD.
So, I figure its bad media. I get about 1 or 2 on a spindle of disks. Usually at the bottom or the first disk. So, I put another disk in and try again.
Same thing. So, I try from Finder. Disk is never recognized. It is spit out the same way. (Thought that maybe something on Toast was corrupt)
Pretty freaked out, I put a burned DVD-R in. Nothing. Then a comercially pressed DVD. Spit out as well. (It was Elf. Which I would have spit out too) I then put a pressed CD in. (Madonna) It is recognized and iTunes starts up. The CD even plays.
I try to burn a CD-R. The process starts and when it is buring the Write out at the end it stops and gives me:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = BLANK CHECK
Sense Code = 0x00
NO ADDITIONAL SENSE INFORMATION
Then the disk is spit out after I hit Okay. Eeep.
Someone gives me a Maxell lense cleaner disk. Nothing to lose. I played it. Because it is a CD format. The drive recognizes it and I am able to run the clean process.
Then I got the same results. One attempt I get another error:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = HARDWARE ERROR
Sense Code = 0x44, 0x8E
INTERNAL TARGET FAILURE
Now all this is strange because... this is a 9 month old G5 dual with the superdrive that Apple put in it. Pioneer DVR-109 dual layer DVD-RW. There have been no unusual behavior leading up to this failure. The drive is not over used. I have not changed media.
I tested the drive with DVD-Rs from other spindles. And different brands. Including some old 1X DVD-Rs that I had forgotten in my hutch. (still sealed in there crystal cases) Same results.
So...has anyone ever experienced this with the 109? or even other drives. I can't believe it is a hardware issue because there hasn't been any previous signs of impending failure. (I have seen the deaths of several drives over the years) I am convinced that it is some obscure control files somewhere.
I ran Tech Tool Pro 4.1.1 on it and did a surface scan of a CD. The only way I could get it to recognize the drive. It reported the drive as unwritable, even though it identified it correctly. (as did System Profiler)
Sorry for the long explaination. But, I don't want to waste anyones time with avenues I have already explored.
Thanks to anyone who has some light to shed on this.

G5 Dual 2.3Ghz Power PC 3GB RAM, 2x120HDD, Superdrive DVD-RW dual layer Mac OS X (10.4.6)Thanks Drew,
I have avoided the external drive option because I thought that they would be slower, or less reliable. However, we have been using those Maxtor Firewire external HDD around here and they are great. So, maybe an external DVD-R might be a good solution now.
(They used to be fairly poor options a few years ago.)
We have an Apple Store 2 blocks from my office here in San Francisco. Shiny new and it looks like a Titanium Cube. My experiences with the Genius Bar and before that Applecare have been the feeling that they spend a good deal of time trying to see how this could be my fault and not their responsibility.
Also, because I am a bit of a geek, by the time I resort to getting help from them, I have exhausted the usual "in the book" solutions. Usually, they are ill prepared for something unusual, that isn't caused by not having the power plugged in, etc.
I do customer service here for the more technical issues our customers have with Video on Demand and DVD issues. People can be really hostile when they call. So, I go out of my way to be pleasant and upbeat when I am dealing with my problems. Apple Care/Genius Bar people aren't rude or anything. I just get the feeling that they are pressured to not spend too much money making customers satisfied with their hardware. (a matter of policy is my bet)
I use my Macs because their software is unparalled in its ease of use and professional application. When I have to deal with duplication houses and their techs. I often hear a sign of relief when I tell them that I am using DVD Studio Pro to author my masters. Because this means that the DVD-Rs I send them are correct and compliant in everyway.
Apple software rocks. I am encouraged by their move to Intel chips recently for their hardware.
Thanks again Drew. I am working on the permissions today and if it looks like a hardware issue, I am off to look at an external. Great suggestion.

Suddenly stopped recognizing CD-Rs
Recently I've tried to make a few copies of CDs with my MBP using iTunes
The first CD copied just fine, no problems.
And now, every time since that incident I've not been able to insert a CD-R and have my MBP Recognize it.
I've transfered a lot of files from my old PC over to this computer that were burnt onto discs before this happened no problem.
It seems as if its suddenly stopped working.
If any of you know how I could go about check to see if I've somehow changed a setting (other than the CDs&DVDs Ignore option in Sys Prefs, because I've already checked that..) I'd really appreciate the help.

Premiere Pro Cs5.5 suddenly stop recognizing my 24''inch second display on my imac
Hi there,
I have Premiere Pro installed on my imac 27inch with an ATI Radeon HD 4850. 'Til yesterday it had been working properly but all of a sudden stop to playing video on my second display. If I go to the "Playback settings", either source or program monitor ones, it seems like PP can't see the display anymore. I did reboot everything, actually several times but nothing worked. Does anyone knows if there's a preference file in the mac's library that can be gone corrupted or any other solution to my issue?
I should say the display is a Philips 241E1 full hd although I don't think that is gonna make any difference. Sometimes I also plug in my Sony Bravia 40inch hdtv through a DVI to HDMI adapter and always PP recognized both.
It didn't happen while performing this operation but just while editing some stuff.
Any suggestion to this is gonna be warmly appreciated, thanks.Ok, just to let you know in case you may encounter the same problem, 5 mins later after I've been writing this post, and after a couple of days was blasting my head off to get this sorted, here it comes the last (but worth) attempt: I decreased the resolution of my main display from 2560X1440 to 1920X1200 and left my secondary display's res to 1920X1080. Then I booted up Premier Pro and.. immediately it worked. So, with PP still on I switched back my main screen res to 2560X1440 and everything went fine. Kinda odd workaround but...

Final Cut Suddenly Stopped Recognizing my Sony HDV-FX1 - help!
I've been capturing footage from my Sony HDV-FX1 with no trouble... I'm running a brand new MacPro 8-core and using Final Cut 6.0.5...
But out of nowhere, Final Cut stopped recognizing my camera. I've got the iLink disabled - I'm choosing "Easy Setup" and choosing HDV 60i - nothing seems to work... I've tried different firewire ports... I can't get the computer to recognize the camera - which is frustrating given that the camera recognizes the cord -and the computer had been importing footage just fine for several days...
Can anyone help??Odd... nothing was showing up in System Profiler, not even my two external drives... I shut them down, unlplugged, then replugged everything in including my camera firewire cord, started em back up, and presto!
Thanks! It worked - any clue why? -
I took my MacBook Pro in for repairs and erased the drive for safety AFTER having copied the entire contents to an external firewire 800 drive using SuperDuper!
The copy process made the disk bootable and I was able to boot up my iMac and run it just as if I were working on my MacBook Pro. After a couple of times working this way, the iMac stopped booting from my drive.
The drive shows up when starting up by pressing the option key but then, after a long time, the iMac shows a circle/slash symbol as if it can't find the system files.
If I restart without pressing the option key, the disk mounts on the desktop and I can use it as an external drive just fine! I tried selecting it in System Preferences as the startup disk, but the same thing happens, blank grey screen with the circle/slash.
Since this happened with a Seagat drive - a brand that has failed me in the past many times - I thought it was a disk problem. I had backed up my MacBook pro contents to another Toshiba drive, and booted from there perfectly well for a couple of times...
Until the same thing happened! Thank God I didn't trash the Seagate although it makes very faint clicking noises that will keep me far away from using it again anyway... but that's another story!
iMac runs 10.5.8, the boot disk (and my MacBook) runs on 10.6.8 if that makes any difference... And now I'm scared that when I copy back to my MacBook Pro it might not boot up at all!!!
What gives???
- MerlinCreativeYou need to reinstall Snow Leopard onto the external drive:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/. -
Premiere Pro Suddenly Stopped Recognizing .MOV Files
I have been working on a project and it includes an .mov file. Never had a problem with that particular file or any others before. Yesterday, while I was working, Premiere suddenly decided it couldn't read the file and when I put the cursor on it, I got the "Media Offline" screen in the monitor. I like Adobe CC, but this is the second problem I have had this week and tech support is never there when I need it. Well worth the 50 bucks a month. Anyway, has anyone else had this problem? If so, is there a fix for it? I am using a PC

Photoshop CS4 suddenly stopped recognizing CR2 files
I'm working on a mac.
I could open my (canon eos 5d mark II) CR2 raw files without issues before christmas, now however I get the "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this filetype" error.
I tried updating my raw plugin, both through package download and through photoshop, but the problem still remains.
My plugin version seems to be 5.0.0.178 if that helps at all.You need at least 5.2 for the 5D mk2. Not sure how you managed to drop a couple of versions, as most people can't even do that if they try!
The best version of ACR for CS4 is 5.7. You can download it here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4680 -
