Unable To Read Data DVDs

When I first got my Power Mac G5, I was able to create and read data DVDs to back things up. Lately, when I put a data DVD into the drive, no icon shows up and I can't access any of the information I've saved.
What should I do?

Brand New iMac unable to read data DVD or eject it.

Hello all,
I'm no good with technology so please bear with me.
I just purchased a brand new iMac a couple of weeks ago, and I'm attempting to run a Data DVD that I got for an online university class.
When put in to the disc drive, one of two things happens:
1) It fails to recognize that there is a DVD in it.
2) It eventually recognizes it (about 5 mins), but then shows nothing on the disc.
after that it is nearly impossible to eject the disc without rebooting the computer or pushing eject a million times and waiting 10 minutes.
Assuming the disc is good (the rest of them are, but I'm getting a replacement just in case), what else can I do?
Thanks.

If it just does it with the one disc the disc is likely bad. Get a replacement disc.
If it does it with multiple discs the drive may be faulty. With a new Mac I'd take it back to the store.

Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd

Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd with my HP G62-339WM Notebook PCI have been unable to perform the Windows back up for months without using new discs. But even after using new discs Windows backup tells me that the disc that I previously used that it is asking to insert is not formatted. I also have not been able to read any dvds that I previously burned, instead it will sometimes recognize them as blank and they are not. I also cannot perform a format on new dvd discs nor burn to them. I have been able to read some previously burned discs on another pc but not the discs that were created with Windows backup. I have tried everything. I have uninstalled the device, ran the fix it, tried troubleshooting, checked the registry and could not find the upper and lower filters listed. I am however able to read program software and the autorun pops up. Once in a while the autorun will pop up when a blank disc is inserted but then that is all the further I am able to use it. I don't know what else to do. I really want to be able to at least burn files to back up so that they are not lost forever. Please help!

Fixed it myself - for some reason the La Cie refused to read the media. Had to use another machine to pull the data from the drive, copy it over the network to my iMac and then mount the ISO image.

TcpListener not working on Azure: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Hi Everybody,
i'm playing a little bit with Windows Azure and I'm blocked with a really simple issue (or maybe not).
I've created a Cloud Service containing one simple Worker Role. I've configured an EndPoint in the WorkerRole configuration, which allows Input connections via tcp on port 10100.
Here the ServiceDefinition.csdef file content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceDefinition name="EmacCloudService" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition" schemaVersion="2014-01.2.3">
<WorkerRole name="TcpListenerWorkerRole" vmsize="Small">
<Imports>
<Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
<Import moduleName="RemoteAccess" />
<Import moduleName="RemoteForwarder" />
</Imports>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="Endpoint1" protocol="tcp" port="10100" />
</Endpoints>
</WorkerRole>
</ServiceDefinition>
This WorkerRole is just creating a TcpListener object listening to the configured port (using the RoleEnvironment instance) and waits for an incoming connection. It receives a message and returns a hardcoded message (see code snippet below).
namespace TcpListenerWorkerRole
using System;
using System.Net;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;
using Roche.Emac.Infrastructure;
using System.IO;

using System.Linq;
public class WorkerRole : RoleEntryPoint
public override void Run()
// This is a sample worker implementation. Replace with your logic.
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("TcpListenerWorkerRole entry point called");
TcpListener listener = null;
try
listener = new TcpListener(RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint);
listener.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
listener.Start();
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info(string.Format("TcpListener started at '{0}:{1}'", RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint.Address, RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint.Port));
catch (SocketException ex)
LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while creating the TcpListener", ex);
return;
while (true)
Task.Run(async () =>
TcpClient client = await listener.AcceptTcpClientAsync();
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info(string.Format("Client connected. Address='{0}'", client.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString()));
NetworkStream networkStream = client.GetStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(networkStream);
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(networkStream);
writer.AutoFlush = true;
string input = string.Empty;
while (true)
try
char[] receivedChars = new char[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("Buffer size: " + client.ReceiveBufferSize);
int readedChars = reader.Read(receivedChars, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize);
char[] validChars = new char[readedChars];
Array.ConstrainedCopy(receivedChars, 0, validChars, 0, readedChars);
input = new string(validChars);
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("This is what the host sent to you: " + input+". Readed chars=" + readedChars);

public override bool OnStart()
// Set the maximum number of concurrent connections
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12;
DiagnosticMonitor.Start("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString");
RoleEnvironment.Changing += RoleEnvironment_Changing;
return base.OnStart();
private void RoleEnvironment_Changing(object sender, RoleEnvironmentChangingEventArgs e)
// If a configuration setting is changing
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("RoleEnvironment is changing....");
if (e.Changes.Any(change => change is RoleEnvironmentConfigurationSettingChange))
// Set e.Cancel to true to restart this role instance
e.Cancel = true;
As you can see, nothing special is being done. I've used the RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints to retrieve the current IPEndpoint.
Running the Cloud Service in the Windows Azure Compute Emulator everything works fine, but when I deploy it in Azure, then I receive the following Exception:
2014-08-06 14:55:23,816 [Role Start Thread] INFO EMAC Log - TcpListenerWorkerRole entry point called

I've already tried to configure an internal port in the ServiceDefinition.csdef file, but I get the same exception there.
As you can see, the client can connect to the service (the log shows the message: Client connected with the address) but when it tries to read the bytes from the stream, it throws the exception.
For me it seems like Azure is preventing the retrieval of the message. I've tried to disable the Firewall in the VM in Azure and the same continues happening.
I'm using Windows Azure SDK 2.3
Any help will be very very welcome!
Thanks in advance!

hi Javier,
I changed your code like this:
private AutoResetEvent connectionWaitHandle = new AutoResetEvent(false);
public override void Run()
TcpListener listener = null;
try
listener = new TcpListener(
RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint"].IPEndpoint);
listener.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
listener.Start();
catch (SocketException se)
return;
while (true)
IAsyncResult result = listener.BeginAcceptTcpClient(HandleAsyncConnection, listener);
connectionWaitHandle.WaitOne();
The HandleAsync method is your "While (true)" code:
private void HandleAsyncConnection(IAsyncResult result)
TcpListener listener = (TcpListener)result.AsyncState;
TcpClient client = listener.EndAcceptTcpClient(result);
connectionWaitHandle.Set();
NetworkStream netStream = client.GetStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(netStream);
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(netStream);
writer.AutoFlush = true;
string input = string.Empty;
try
char[] receivedChars = new char[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("Buffer size: " + client.ReceiveBufferSize);
int readedChars = reader.Read(receivedChars, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize);
char[] validChars = new char[readedChars];
Array.ConstrainedCopy(receivedChars, 0, validChars, 0, readedChars);
input = new string(validChars);
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("This is what the host sent to you: " + input + ". Readed chars=" + readedChars);
try
string orderResultFormat = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\xB")) + @"MSH|^~\&|Instrument|Laboratory|LIS|LIS Facility|20120427123212+0100||ORL^O34^ORL_O34| 11|P|2.5.1||||||UNICODE UTF-8|||LAB-28^IHE" + Environment.NewLine + "MSA|AA|10" + Environment.NewLine + @"PID|||patientId||""""||19700101|M" + Environment.NewLine + "SPM|1|sampleId&ROCHE||ORH^^HL70487|||||||P^^HL70369" + Environment.NewLine + "SAC|||sampleId" + Environment.NewLine + "ORC|OK|orderId|||SC||||20120427123212" + Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\x1c\x0d"));
writer.Write(orderResultFormat);
catch (Exception e)
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while writting the response", e);
client.Close();
catch (Exception ex)
//LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while Reading the request", ex);
client.Close();
Please try it. For this error message, I suggest you could refer to this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6173763/using-windows-azure-to-use-as-a-tcp-server

Unable to read data from the SAP marketplace

Hi All,
    These days, certain packages in my download basketball cannot be downloaded, while others can be downloaded normally.
     After serveral redirecting, the SAP download manager keeps informing me that "Unable to read data from the SAP marketplace, check your settings and try again".
     Anyone knows how to solve it?
Thanks,
Yining

Hi Yining,
You user on SAP MarketPlace is locked.
You have to unlock it but I do not know the way.
Check in user data maintenance on SAP MarketPlace who is your responsible and perhaps he wwill be able to solve to unlock our user.

Unable to read data from the SAP Service Marketplace issue

Good morning, experts.
I´ve just installed the SAP Download Manager, but I can´t get connected to Marketplace.
First I tried downloading a file I could see in my Basket Download. Then I deleted it from the basket so I could test only the connection. In both situations I got the same error message: "Unable to read data from the SAP Service Marketplace (...)".
It is probably due to wrong settings, but I can´t figure it out. My settings are:
Address: https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/
User name: S0005951541
Password: (my password)
Proxy (my proxy settings)
Any ideas?

Thanks for your answer.
I can see my download basket online. I realize I didn´t delete the items so I could test purely the connection. I am going to do it again.
I found out I dind´t have permission to download those items, and with the right permission I could download them directly online.
As long as I have more information I am going to repost this issue on a new forum.
Thanks.

IMAQ Vision Unable to read data.

This project is to match multiple templates, then i copied the method from the example "Match Multiple Geometric Pattens", but the error says:
Error -1074395989 occurred at IMAQ ReadImageAndVisionInfo
Possible reason(s):
IMAQ Vision: Unable to read data.
The problem is that the programming works if I use the labview example's templates. However,when i use the templates which generated by myself, the error appears. I have checked the format and pixels of my generated template, which looks indentical to the example's template.
Could anybody help me to figure this out? I have attached my docs below.
Thanks.
Dylan

Hello,
Labview Geometric matching uses a set of features/descriptors to describe the meaningful information contained in an image. You need to extract these descriptors to permorm the matching.
Here is an example on how to create the pattern matching templates in Labview (you can alternatively use the Template Editor utility):
http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/In-Pattern-matching-angle-remains-Zero-even-if-the-rotated/m-...
(see the attachment in the solution post). You can easily adapt this to learn geometric template (just modify/replace the relevant vi.'s).
Don't use screen shots to create the templates. Create a template directly from the image.
Best regards,
K

Error accessing device data in netweaver."Unable to read data;can't connect

Hi Friends,
We have implemented MAM in one of our client here in India. Its around 7 months the project been gone live.
From last few weeks we are facing problem accessing Device in Netweaver.
We prepared a patch to be applied to devices but on searching by providing mobile device name ie. eg. MOBILE_000011 it gives an error which says "Unable to read data; cannot connect to middleware".
It searches the device successfully but but doesnt display its device details,components etc.
I checked in MI server for short dumps TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED.
All the measures have been taken to remove this dump. But problem still persist.
Please suggest to identify the problem.
Thanks, Amit Sharma

Error: ORA 1466
Text:   unable to read data -- object definition has changed
Cause: This is a time-based read consistency error for a database object,
        such as a table or index.
        Either of the following may have happened:
        The query was parsed and executed with a snapshot older than the time
        the object was changed.
        The creation time-stamp of the object is greater than the current
        system time.
        This happens, for example, when the system time is set to a time
        earlier than the creation time of the object.
Action: If the cause is
        an old snapshot, then commit or rollback the transaction and resume
        work.
        a creation time-stamp in the future, ensure the system time is set
        correctly.
        If the object creation time-stamp is still greater than the system
        time, then export the object's data, drop the object, recreate the
        object so it has a new creation time-stamp, import the object's data,
        and resume work.

You can not perform DDL and then perform a flashback query to before the DDL.
One might wonder why you chose this particular time to perform an ALTER TABLE but you did. It is what it is.

Unable to read data from Analog Devices 6b11 module - error code 1240

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to read data from a thermocouple with an AD 6B11 module in an AD 6BP16-1 backplane using RS232 serial. I've been following this guide:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8C77E5E52B4A27968625611600559421
Everything seems to work out well until step 13, where I call the "AD6B Input Module - Read Data.VI". I get an error code 1240 stating something like "invalid parameter or unable to read instrument".
Has anyone got any experience with this error or suggestions to fixing it?
Thanks in advance!

That user guide is 20+ years old. The serial functions from that day used 0 for com 1, 1 for com 2, etc. Make sure you have the correct one selected. Please provide the exact error message instead of 'something like'.

PC won't read data DVD

A data DVD burned on MAC won't load in PC.

By default, when burning DVD's from the Finder they should also be readable on a PC. Is this just unreadable on 1 PC? or all PCs?
Also I have seen Maxell DVD's that do not burn on Lacie external burners. Do you have another brand of DVD? I use Verbatim. Also are you using DVD+R or DVD-R? I have seen DVD-R discs not work on certain PCs with DVD drives.

Unable to read data to Navigtional Attributes

Hi,
unable to read navigation attributes from a BI cube when loading transactional data from BI to BPC.

Hi Sathwik,
How do you refer to those Navigational Attributes in your transformation file and what error message you are getting? Why do you want to make BW Nav Attr BPC cube charcteristics?
I'd think that a better idea would be to keep them as Propeties of a BPC Dimension and load just BW cube Characteristics.

Superdrive no longer reads data DVD's

Since the upgrade to Leopard, I can no longer read any of my data dvd's.
It reads cd's and music dvd's fine, but none of my data back up dvd's will read.
After a minute of grinding, the icon appears, but if i try to read any of the content or copy any to the HDD, it grinds and grinds and pretty much crash's the machine.
I have to close the lid on my 1ghz 17" laptop, and then unplug it, and pop the battery out. Then restart.
It worked fine with Tiger, and my G5 reads the dvd's fine. So it is a software issue.

This is a generalized “DVD reading problem under Leopard on Matshita DVD hardware” post. My apologies if it is in the wrong place, but you all seem to be closing in on my own problem.
My PPC G4 running 10.4.11 reads/plays my audio CDs and my movie, data and OS installation DVDs with no problems. It has a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104 DVD reader. My (late 2006 white) iMac Core 2 Duo with a Matshita DVD-R UJ-85J DVD reader running 10.5.1 has SERIOUS problems.
It reads/plays audio CDs but it clicks and thrashes around before finally ejecting most of my movie, data and OS installation DVDs as well. If I persist (repeatedly re-inserting the DVD) it may finally recognize it but most of the time it does not.
I have tried going back to Tiger with my original grey installation discs but even when I can get them to be recognized there is no optional choice to archive my current system folders – its erase or nothing. Sigh. Something happened with DVD recognition/reading at 10.5.
Any advice from the community would be most welcome. Apple techs - what are your thoughts?
Thanks.
