Why can't I get the Mac to accept a dvd which it did yesterday evening?

Why can't I get the Mac to accept a dvd to play which it did yesterday evening?

Hi a brody,
It's pretty well documented. Here's a Wikipedia article on the topic. Tons of other links to follow.
The drives themselves weren't damaged (by trying to do something like write to the drive's firmware), but the rootkit was installed on any computer you put a loaded disk in.
I had a couple of legally purchased CDs from that era, and they never played right. They would skip, stall and even spontaneously eject. And this was in various music CD players (home player, car), which the rootkit wasn't supposed to affect.

  • HT4150 Why can't I get the Mac OS X v10.6.4 update to download?

    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Yes, I know I am very behind the times . . .
    The download starts, but quits after a few seconds and I get a "not recognized" message when I try to open it.
    Thanks.

    Are you doing a Software Update or downloading directly from Apple?
    If Software Update, instead download the combo 10.6.8 update from here. Use Disk Utility (on your hard drive in application/utilities)  to repair permissions, then apply the combo update, and when done, repair permissions again. You'll be at 10.6.8 at that point.

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

  • Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain active ?

    Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain "active" ?
    I'm using iTunes 11.4 on a Mac Pro with OS 10.9.5
    In good old iTunes 10.7  there was a slider on the right side that you can move up and down to locate songs.   That same slider is there, (but much smaller), with iTunes 11.4, but it seems to deactivate itself for reasons I do not understand.
    I have found that when I go to the lower right corner and resize the iTunes window the slider will appear briefly.   If I don't act very fast, that slider vanishes and I cannot scroll up and down.
    Thanks !!

    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

    Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

    "Apparently it's available in the US iTunes store but not here?"
    Because Kodak has chosen not to make it available there.
    "Can't for the life of me understand why that should be!"
    You do not have to understand it for it to be so.
    You can try asking Kodak, as they make the app.

    Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

    The thing that I am having a problem with is that I made a different form that calculates the average no matter how may of the cells have numbers or not and I didn't use an if function.  I have tried with this other form and and it calulates as if all the cells where being used.  I am using the [*] in both instances but it only works in the one I did earlier.
