Why do I need to restart to play a DVD movie?

I'm not sure if this MacBook related or Leopard related. When I put a DVD in my internal or external optical drive my MacBook locks up completely and a message appears stating that I need to restart by holding down the power button or using the reset button. I hold the power button down to shut the MB down and then I reboot and I'm able to play the movie which is still in the drive. These are original commercial movie DVDs and the problem is repeatable with different movies.
Any ideas why this would be happening?

I'm still experiencing this problem and can't pin it down so if anyone can understand these things I'd appreciate it. I have of course used the Report function to send Apple this panic log:

1. Can you please suggest why do we need to restart teh XI Server ?
It is not done on the frequent basis until you fae some problems like file adapter not appearing in the adapter configuration.....none of the adaters are present in ID (EX)
it will only start the servicess or other things which were hanging or not responding state.....
2. In what way it will be helpful for us ?
ot moght e helpfull some times but not always...it depends on the probelm you are facing...lot of problems can be solved without restarting the server
3. Will it clear any locks ? or any dump files ?
   Not sure
4. Is it recommended to star t and stop the sever ?
Not recomded to do it frequenlty without any valid reason (until you apply some patches etc)

Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

Hi Matt,
I purchased my imac in November of 2010 and below is a cut and past from Hardware overview. It has 1 TB hardrive, with 670 GB free. When i start up in the morning, it boots normal then freezes. Half the time i can get it to restart before it freezes, other half i have to power down then restart. At the same time throughout this process the little pixel squares show up sometimes in a single line or two aross the screen, then sometimes more random. After about 7 times of rebooting, everything runs fine for the day with no weird pixels. then i shut down at night, and start the porcess over in the morning. Thanks for your help!

IMAC DVD Player does not recognizing dvd movie . I have an IMAC (10.7.4) using DVDPlayer (vers. 5500.26.11) and it will not recognize/play a dvd movie...it thinks it is a blank dvd. The IMAC will play rented dvd movies. The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player The dvd move was made/burned on a PC. Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?

Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

Why do I need to restart iTunes to hear audio on my Bluetooth headphones?

I just bought a pair of Motorola S805 headphones, paired with an IOGear Bluetooth 2.0 dongle. If iTunes is running when I connect my headphones, I cannot get audio to play, no matter what I do in iTunes.
If I shut down iTunes, wait a few seconds, I can hear audio again. This method is not 100%, as I may have to restart iTunes 2 or 3 times to hear audio.
This is obviously just an annoyance, but I think that there should be a setting to allow iTunes to pick up new audio connections. Why do I need to go through this song & dance of restarting iTunes just to get audio working?
I have my S805's paired correctly, and they are set as the Stereo Audio device through the Microsoft Bluetooth devices. Is there any iTunes or Bluetooth settings that I can adjust?

Hi everyone, for the sake of posterity and if anyone encounters this problem, I have found a solution. I added a Motorola D200 bluetooth adaptor and I no longer have the problem. Since the D200 is an audio device it behaves better with iTunes.
I think the original problem stems from the fact that iTunes does not play well with audio devices on the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. I suspect that iTunes does not check for audio device updates of this type.

My Sony Blu-ray player keeps restarting while playing a DVD.

While playing a DVD in my Sony Blu-ray BD/DVD player it keeps shutting off, then automatically restarting itself and goes back to the home menu. It is a BDV-2100 Series. Any suggestions? I've turned off the Sleep settings. Unplugged for 1 minute and turned back on. I haven't found any helpful suggestions for this in the COmmunity Support questions. Is this a common problem with this series of Blu-ray?

@womackj Hi there, Are you the same person who started this post, have you since changed your username or are you just joining in? You might find some useful tips you can try in this post, scroll half way down and there's a list of possible solutions dependent on the year of manufacture of your device. http://community.sony.com/t5/Blu-Ray-General/Blu-ray-disc-won-t-play-on-Blu-ray-player/td-p/99903/page/16

What do I need to do to play my dvd?

I've been trying to play my DVD from my firefox account but don't know how. Can you please help with this?
Thanks for your help.

What does a DVD have to do with a Firefox Account?
Firefox Accounts are for consumer services run by Mozilla.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Firefox_Accounts
Firefox doesn't play DVD's, that's a function of the operating system.
Normally Vista will auto run a DVD when it is inserted and the "drawer" is closed.
Open '''My Computer''' on the desktop. Then locate the CD / DVD drive under Removable Storage Device. Right-click that device and use '''Open ...'''

DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there. It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies. I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive. Computer is out of warranty.

Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
I'd recommend starting with this document:
Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?
Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
Let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

Why do I need to restart Apache and Tomcat every time a java file is change

If a java file is changed and complied the changes are not reflected if Tomcat is not restarted.
The settings in server.xml are as:

<Context path="/manager" docBase="manager" debug="0" privileged="true"/>
<Context path="/cf" docBase="cf" debug="0" reloadable="false"/>
Here "cf" is my Application folder under webapps. The reloadable property when set to "true" for standalone Tomcat on Windows98 reflects the changes for compiled java files without restarting Tomcat. But on Linux 7.1 with Apache 1.3.19 and Tomcat 4.0.3 this is not working.
Also tried out with Manager Application of tomcat-users.xml with reloadable="false" as well as reloadable="true",
But when I reload the application using the command
http://servername:8080/manager/reload?path=/appli.name
It tells me that the application is reloaded but changes in the java file are still not reflected.
Also when reloaded through Manager Servlet, Only my load-on-startup servlet is reloaded, but other java classes are not.
Is it neccessary to execute this reload command from the server itself. I m executing it from a remote m/c. and have mapped the application with a domain name virtually.
Is it the case with Tomcat on Linux with Apache. Or is something going wrong on my part.
Can someone Help out plz.

Rupali

or you can "touch" your web.xml file.
touch web.xmlor that command is for *nix systems, not sure what the Windows command is. But basically, when you edit the web.xml, even if it means updating the last modified time, it will restart only your application and you should see the changes.

Why do I need to restart my wifi adapter every time my MacBook Air awakes from sleep?

My wifi is turned on, but when I awake my Air from sleep, Safari and other apps that use the internet don't work. But if I turn off and then back on the wifi, everything works again. Any help appreciated with solving this problem.

2009 iMAC running 10.10.2 won't accept or play commercial DVD movie?

I have recently installed OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my late 2009 21.5 iMac. I have just tried to play a movie for the first time in a long time. I stream from netflix from time to time but this is the first commercial DVD I have put in in a year or so. Anyway, I put the disk in the slot and the computer accepts it for a short time and then ejects the disk. Nothing ever shows on the desk top to indicate a disk was inserted. I don't remember what application I used to play movies with. I thought I just popped them in and they ran. I thought perhaps it was Quick time that I used to use so I started that from applications I get some sort of iCloud version that I don't understand. If some kind person could tell me what is going on it would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know what's going on with your Super Drive, but you might have better success with a better and faster player - that's also free. VLC Player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
is the best, most well-supported player out there, and many use of instead of Apple's software. It's that good.
If the player still doesn't work, the issue is more complicated.
1. Make sure you're completely up to date with your software. If you're not, it's possible your player won't work.
2. Clean up your Super Drive. Dust can accumulate in a Super Drive over the years. You'll want a DVD lens cleaner that you pop into your Super Drive slot. Maxell and Memorex sell them, and they're well under $10.
Chime in with your results!

Why mvt types needed

Please tell me what is the use of mvt types in sd.
I have seen so many mvt types like Normal Delivery - 601
Consignment Fillup - 631 etc.
why we need them? without them what will happen.
please tell me with an example why it so needed.

Hello,
When you enter a goods movement in the system, you must enter a movement type to differentiate between the various goods movements. A movement type is a three-digit identification key for a goods movement. The movement type is important because it controls the screen layout, adjustment of inventories, the GL account for financial purposes etc.
Eg: 601 Goods issue for delivery In Shipping, this movement type is created automatically with the Goods issue for delivery function. The quantity is taken from unrestricted-use stock.
631 Transfer posting unrestricted use - customer consignment stock (Shipping) The quantity is transferred from unrestricted-use stock to consignment stock at customer.

PLAY DVD MOVIE FROM MACBOOK PRO TO APPLE TV

HOW CAN I PLAY A DVD MOVIE ON MY MACBOOK PRO AND MIRROR IT MY APPLE TV.

Native mirroring requires a recent Mac (2011 or later) running 10.8
Older hardware can use 3rd party options like Airparrot
The native DVD player is blocked from mirroring but VLC should work

DVD Movies will not play in SuperDrive after upgrading to Lion?

I just discovered that I cannot play any DVD movies using the Super Drive. It spins up and down a couple of time and then ejects the DVD. I tried several DVD's I have.

Well, that about does it. I inserted a music CD into my MBP, finished listening to it and now the CD is stuck in my machine. I can hear and feel it try to eject but something is stopping it so it ***** it back in. I cant figure out how to get it out. I have had nothing but trouble wit this machine. I am beginning to think I made a very expensive mistake buying this thing. I'm from Louisiana, perhaps this Mac has a better capacity to soak up oil in the Gulf than to actually WORK as a computer.
All this has happened in about 6 hours. Buyers remorse has fully set in.

Air Play in my Apple TV disconnects from iPhone or Mac book after some time of playing. I need to restart the router in order to connect again. Apple tv is connected to wifi succesfully? Any suggestion?

I tried something new yesterday after reading all these messages. My ATV3 was situated on top of my satellite box and I noticed that it was quite warm. The instruction manual suggests that the box not go over a certain temperature, so I moved the box to a location without the heat under it. It now works without any problem at all...at least, so far.

Why do I need to restart to play a DVD movie?
