Superdrive not able to read DVDs or CDs

I'm having an iMac G5, running MacOs 10.4.3 with an Matshita DVD-R UJ-846. Since quite some time now I'm not able to read inserted DVDs or CDs. Either a dialogue box appears telling me I've inserted a blank disk or nothing appears and I have to find another way to eject the disk again. I have no clue whether the drive is ruined or I simply need another newer driver. Please, can anyone help? Cheers!

Not able to read DVD in the optical drive, but able to read CD

So lately, my MBP's optical drive have been acting up weirdly when I put in a DVD disk. It would suck it in, and I would hear the sound that it tries to put the read head on the disk but failing. After a while it just spit the disk out. This would only happen if I put in a DVD disk, when I put in a music CD, it works and load the music into iTunes and everything.
Does anyone know what's wrong?

THis almost invariably means your drive needs cleaning or that you are using bad media xcc. DVD's are harder to "read" and "write" than CD's and generally show "dirty lens" problems well before issues arise with CDs.
Get a DVD cleaning disc and run it through a few times.

I have a MacBook Pro from 2009 that reads DVDs as CDs. It will only play the audio and not the video. Can I fix this at home?

My computer reads DVDs and CDs, playing only the audio. I need to know if I can fix my computer with resets at home instead of taking it in. It is not under warranty.

Eearly 2006 iMac Won't Read DVDs or CDs

It seems suddenly my drive won't read DVDs or CDs. These are both blank or store bought. Everything I load one, it spins, tries to read and then just spits it out. I tried the preferences turn to "ignore" and that didn't work.
Anyone know why my drive suddenly is being picky?
So frustrating...thanks in advance!

Hi Gully
Just for the record what brand(s) are you using? I ask because even if they are the same brand you always use, it could be because there from a new of different batch.
Two things you can try on the iMac are resetting the SMC and PRAM and see if that helps!

I burn quite a few Photo & Music CD's using both Maxell and Fujifilm CD-R's, in the five packs they have always come thru. I don't burn a lot to DVD's, but I've never found a bad Memorex DVD-R in a five pack. I know lot's of folks will swear against Memorex, but in the last 2½ years I've never found a one that the SuperDrive in my Early Core Duo would not burn. Lastly I know it cost more to buy media in the five packs instead of 25 or 50+, but I've always done that just in-case they don't work.

Satellite U200: I am not able to burn DVDs

I have a problem with the burner of DVD :
Since I formated (and then reinstall with recover CD that was with computer at beggining), I am not able to burn DVDs !
How can I do to recover that !!
And also, that's weird, instead of showing one DVD player, there are 2 : One for CD, one for DVD, when it's the same...
I'm able to read DVDs, but I am not able to burn them :(

> And also, that's weird, instead of showing one DVD player, there are 2 : One for CD, one for DVD, when it's the same...
This is very strange its confusing that two ODDs appears in MY Computer
What you could do is to remove the ODD (CD/DVD) drive from the device manager and then to reboot the notebook.
Please check if the CD/DVD would be recognized correctly after the new reinstallation.

Not able to read the wsdl file from server Premature EOF encounter

Hi All,
I am facing issue while accessing a web Service from server. Here is the clear view about it.
I created a simple SyncBpel process in a composite and deployed in to the server and it is working fine. Later i created a new Asyn bpel process in a composite and in the external reference i dragged a web Service and imported the wsdl url from server of the SyncBpel and wired the Asynbpel process to webserive .
Now here i am facing peculiar behavior which i am not able to trace it out.
1) For the first time when i import the url of syncBpel from the server i am not facing any error and it is working fine as expected but when i close the Jdeveloper and open it i am not able to user the web Service and it is saying as "Not able to read the wsdl file from server Premature EOF encounter"
2)When i close and open the Jdeveloper i can see the url of the wsdl which imported in webserver is changing from http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/bpelsync_client_ep?WSDL to http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/BPELsync.wsdl
3)when I open and see the url http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/bpelsync_client_ep?WSDL I can see the soap address as *<soap:address location="http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel!1.0*soa_5cfb8416-c106-40a2-a53b-9054bbe04b9c/bpelsync_client_ep"/>*
I don’t understand why the soap end contains “*soa_5cfb8416-c106-40a2-a53b-9054bbe04b9c” and this kind of url for soap address is coming to all the bpel process which I am deploying in the server.
I checked the in Jdeveloper where webproxy is uncheck and the server is also up but still I am facing issue of reading the error.
Can someone please help in resolving the issue.
I am using SOA 11g 11.1.1.5 and Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5
Many thanks.
Tarak

Hi,
Setting default from the jdeveloper -
During composite deployment from Jdeveloper (wizard driven), you will be given an option to choose the version of the composite and there will also be an option for you to choose if the composite needs to be deployed as default.
Setting default from the em console -
After deploying a composite, login to the em console and click on the composite that you want to set as default, and you will find a tab - "Set as Default". please note that this tab will not be seen, if the composite is already set as default.

Kevin,
For manual Proviosioning - It works fine.
It fails when I create user in OIM using flat file GTC . I have an access policy to auto proviosion that user with ldap.
As mentioned before, I notice none of the prepops on Ldap process form are able to read value from Xel user form.
Steps I tried Already:
1- Checking access policy
2-remapping process form adapters
Pls. let me know ur thoughts.

I am not able to read the xslt table column value.

Hi,
I have the scenario like this.
I have two irpt pages first.irpt and second.irpt and saperate xslt tables for each page and common js file for two pages.
when I click on first.irpt   page xslt table row that opens the second.irpt as a popup window then I click on the column in second.irpt xslt row after that column value should be inserted in to first.irpt xslt table column.
In above I have done everything except I am not able to update the first.irpt xslt table column as Even I am not able to read that value.
For your reference:
/* This function will be called when we select the row in first.irpt xslt table here SelectBatch_b.irpt means second.irpt
function getBatch(row)
var id=row;
var material=document.getElementById('Material_'+row).value;
var location=document.getElementById('StoreLoc_'+row).value;
var plant=1000;
var strUrl = "SelectBatch_b.irpt";
strUrl = "?plant="plant"&""location="location"&""material="material;
     window.open (strUrl,"mywindow");
/*This function will be called when we select the row in second.irpt (SelectBatch_b.irpt)
function getBatchID(row)
var Batch=document.getElementById('Batch_'+row).value; // reading second.irpt xslt table column value
document.getElementById('Batchc1').value=Batch; // reading first.irpt xslt table column value and inserting.
window.close(); // here I am getting error like object expected.
Please help me in this .

Hi Rajkumar,
Please find below the method to pass the variable back and forth in .irpt page.
First Page:
var Toaccessinchildpage = "value";
function getBatch(row)
var id=row;
var material=document.getElementById('Material_'+row).value;
var location=document.getElementById('StoreLoc_'+row).value;
var plant=1000;
var strUrl = "SelectBatch_b.irpt";
strUrl += "?plant="plant"&"+"location="location"&"+"material="+material;
window.open (strUrl,"mywindow");
function populate(strBatch)
     document.getElementById('Batchc1').value=strBatch;
Second Page:
function getBatchID(row)
var Batch=document.getElementById('Batch_'+row).value;
window.opener.populate(Batch);
window.close();
You have to call parent page function from child page.
No need to use common js.
If you want to access variable from parent page use
window.opener.<variable name>.
Example
window.opener.Toaccessinchildpage
You have to declare that variable as global variable in Parent page js file.
Refer First page code.

Selva

ASCP Plan Is Not Able To Read Global Forecast For Options Published By Demantra

ASCP plan is not able to read global forecast for options published by Demantra
ASCP plan is not able to read global forecast for options published by Demantra. Only Model Forecast is being read into ASCP plan.
1) We are publishing global forecast from Demantra at CTO/Zone/Week level and it is getting published properly to ASCP denorm table.
2)There is no forecast explosion being done in ascp (plan option explode forecast is not checked)
3)The sourcing rule is set at zone level for the model saying source from an organization (org code 11)
4) The profile: msc:-Organization containing generic BOM for global forecasting is set to 22 which is a reference org
5) Now when we run the plan the model forecast goes to org 11 but the option forecasts do not go properly
6) We have just one line created for the option (production forecast) with a wrong quantity
7) Demantra has forecasts for both Model and options
