Unable to play any region dvd on mac mini

My Mac Mini stopped playing all types of DVD's. A few seconds after placing a DVD it gets ejected and I get a "Supported disc not found" message. What can I do?

I have tried the following with no improvement:
1. reset parameter RAM
2. repair permissions
3. repair boot disk
4. reset SMC
5. boot into safe mode
6. boot into diagnostic mode and run HW diagnostic
7. create a new user account and log in as the new user
8. upgrade the OS to 10.9.3
9. reinstall the OS from the recovery partition

  • Playing any region DVD

    Hi All
    At the moment I have a range of region one and region two dvds. I am going on vacation in a few days and would like to be able to play both my region one and region two dvd's on my iBook G4.
    Is there any application that you can install onto MAC OS X that enables me to play any region DVD, without having to change the settings on the DVD drive as you are restricted to the number of times yuo can do this before it sticks with the last setting?
    Or, is there anyway around this?
    Many thanks
    Garry

    You might want to look at this website:

    Be very very careful; if you make any changes to the firmware of your DVD/CD drive there is the potential to make it inoperable.

  • After upgrading the Mountain Lion I am unable to play any DVD's

    After upgrading my late 2009 iMac to Mountain Lion I am unable to play any DVD's.  When I put a DVD into the superdrive, it tries reading the disk and then it ejects it.  Is this problem related to the upgrade?

    Hmmm, this page:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564/apple-usb-superdrive
    Does not list the iMac as one of the computers the SuperDrive runs with.
    I assume you literally mean the USB SuperDrive in your statement above.

  • Unable to play any games in iOS 6

    Unable to Play any games after updating my iOS to 6 in iPhone 4. the application always continues to ask for the apple id password repeatedly.

    Try a data or application disk or DVD.
    If no disks are mounting on the desktop then your drive is still on the fritz and you should return to the place of previous repair and ask them politely to "repair it correctly".
    Before taking it back in, you might want to attempt to clear the PRAM and NVRAM.
    Command + Option + P + R to clear PRAM
    And
    Command + Option + O + F to boot into Open Firmware.
    reset-nvram (press the return key)
    set-defaults (press the return key)
    reset-all (press the return key)
    The Mac will reboot.

    Hi..
    If you are referring to video streamed on YouTube or other sites that require the Flash plugin, try troubleshooting.
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first.
    Relaunch Safari.  From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    Tip... when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed

  • My disk drive does not play any original dvd or cd anymore, but the copies work fine, no matter which format. Do I need a new disk drive?

    Hello All,
    since last week my disk drive does not play any original DVD or CD anymore, but copied ones, no matter which format work fine. I am a bit confused that the copied ones still work.
    Anybody experienced the same? Will I have to get a new disk drive? Unfortunately the warranty expired last month
    Looking forward to your answers and thanks,
    Yvonne

    An external DVD drive from http://www.macsales.com/ may solve your problems.

  • Installed iTunes 7.1.1 and now won't play any CD/DVD

    help!! i installed itunes 7.1.1 and now i can't play any CD/DVD, even the data ones. what should i do?? when i run CD diagnostics it shows up like this:
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, v.2055 (Build 2600)
    System manufacturer System Product Name
    iTunes 7.1.1.5

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
    E: TSSTcorp CDW/DVD SH-M522C, Rev TS06
    Drive is empty.
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive E: TSSTcorp CDW/DVD SH-M522C on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.

    the motherboard is ASUS P5S800-VM
    thank you kindly.
    i find it a bit difficult to track down info for the ASUS motherboards at ASUSTek. so perhaps try using their ASUS Navigation utility to determine if there are any BIOS or chipset driver upgrades available for that model. here's a link through to their download site for the utility:
    ASUS Navigation Wizard
    if you still get the bad behavior from CD/DVD drives after doing any updates indicated at Asus, let's check on your other componentry too.
    i had a look at Samsung, and there's a newer TS07 firmware available for your SH-M522C.
    TSSTcorp SH-M522C
    is that any help?

  • My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start

    My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start. I installed DiV X today and all this happened is there anyway to fix this?? I went through everything dragging the icon to the trash and deleting it from safari extentions.

    Download and install
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac  Note that Perian will be discontinued after the release of Mountain Lion:  http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57434082-263/perian-plug-in-for-quicktime-t o-be-discontinued/?tag=txt;title

  • MY QOSMIO F45 AV425 HD DVD DOESN'T PLAY ANY HD DVD.

    Can anyone help me with this issue. My qosmio doesn't play any hd dvd
    I've have update the toshiba hd dvd, the broadcom decoder, video and sound card drivers to the latest ones but so far nothing happened.
    Any suggestions?
    !!!!! Help !!!!!!

    Ah.. now I had the exact problem with my a205-s6808 satellite. The problem is with the Broadcom decoder, remember it is only optional to install it. So, Uninstall the Broadcom Decoder and restore your HD-DVD player black to the version that came on the disc (I believe it is version 4.33). Now once you have restarted your laptop Windows will ask you to install a 'Multimedia Controller', do not install this driver.
    This worked for me, I hope it does for you. Tell me how it goes.

  • Qosmio X870 -GTX 670M - unable to play any games

    Hi,
    I received this new laptop about 3 weeks ago and since than i'm unable to play any games using the GTX 670M GPU. I'm able to access the game menu but within 30 second of playing any game i get a black screen and it takes me back to the desktop.
    I have updated the driver and it shows in the device manager it is working properly. I have reinstalled the whole computer to factory setting but still the same problem. The strange thing is that i'm able to play all the games using the basic Intel HD 4000 GPU but not the GTX 670M. Please if any can help me i would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You

    Hi
    >I have updated the driver and it shows in the device manager it is working properly.
    Maybe you should use another driver from nVidia page.
    There are also some 3rd party pages providing modified drivers.
    Im thinking about the www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com pages.

  • I received an iCloud backup notification on my ipad mini but tapping "OK" does not remove it and therefore I am unable to do any activity on my ipad mini. please help urgent.

    I received an iCloud backup notification on my ipad mini but tapping "OK" does not remove it and therefore I am unable to do any activity on my ipad mini. please help urgent.??

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Unable to play any CD via itunes on Mac mini 10.3.9

    My mac mini has been for diagnostic and 'repair' with an approved local dealer, and is now back home. I have tried to play CDs via the disc drive...normally itunes would open, I would click the play arrow and away we go. Now the 'play' arrow and all play menu options are greyed out. I have tried a random selection of my shop-bought CDs, none of which are obscure titles and which used to play AOK, and whose track listings etc were all previously shown in the itunes browser window. All I seem to be able to do is 'eject' any disc once it is in the drive.
    All and any help or suggestions will be gratefully received. My Mac mini has 10.3.9 and the itunes is the latest version.
    Thanks to all
    Tony

    Hi again Boece...the disc went in OK, but did not launch or load or whatever was supposed to happen. All attempts to eject the disc failed. It would not respond. I followed all the advice in the Apple Mac mini user guide to no avail, (except the one about inserting a paper clip), and then decided that I didn't think it was something I should attempt. I then took it to the dealer and asked them to
    - remove the disc from the drive
    - do a full diagnostic to find out what was wrong with Finder etc.
    - reinstall the programmes and upgrade the memory if necessary
    - save any data they could (without Finder we could not navigate to saved files to save them to an external resource) Catch 22.
    Hope that helps, and thanks again for your time on this.

    Hi
    I have the excact same problem, however the problem is in my case not the upgrade in Frontrow, as the trouble was present before aswell. Everything works fine for me ONCE, but if i return to my desktop after having activated frontrow, and then reactivate it, i get the same error as you. I can solve the problem by Quiting FR and then relaunching it again, but this is not acceptable.
