Why won't my MAC recognize a DVD with JPG...HELP!!!

I have received 3 different DVD's from this photographer in an effort for me to be able to view my pictures.  None of them work!!  She has now given me a cd and it works fine!?!!?  Why won't my Mac recognize the DVDs??

A friend of mine turns out a lot of DVD's for and organization that he does photo work for and he has found
that burning DVD + or - can make a diferance along with the age of the player and he has gone back to
burning them at the slowest speed possible. (people in the organization sends him old pictures that he fixes
then burnes a DVD for them and returnes the pictures and DVD.)

  • Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?

    Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
    I've just completed a 140 minute project in FCP. I've encoded an MPEG2 file that is 5.75GB in size. Brought into DVDSP and am trying to burn the DVD.
    I have Final Cut Studio 1, latest updates and everything.
    Because of the 5.75GB size I need to burn to Dual Layer DVD. I have Verbatim 4x 8.56GB dual layer DVDs.
    When I click buld/burn and pop in a dual layer DVD I get an error saying "please insert compatible disc".
    Even with every app closed. If I put one of these DVDs in my Mac it simply spits it out after about 20 seconds.
    For some reason the Mac won't handle or understand these Dual Layer DVDs.
    I bought this Mac Pro about 4 months ago and it is the 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine and the DVD drive (according to system profiler) is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D. In system profiler it says "Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D"
    Can anyone tell me if this DVD player is actually capable of dual layer, or do I need to buy one.
    In System Profiler under Revision it says: AB09 and under Protocol it says: ATAPI
    Can anyone advise please?

    If you have access to a pc into which you can install the 112, or if you have bootcamp, you can replace the Apple supplied firmware with Pioneer firmware. This should restore full functionality to the drive. The latest Pioneer firmware for the drive is version 1.21 and can be found here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1426

  • Why won't my mac recognize an external hard drive?

    I purchased an external hard drive to back up my mac. When I plug it into the USB ports, the computer does not recognize it. I've tried all of the USB ports on the computer. I know the drive is okay because my laptop does recognize it.

    How do you know it's not recognized and how is it formatted?

  • Why won't my MacBook recognize the install disk?

    Why won't my Macbook recognize the install disk?  I want to run the Apple Hardware Test, but the computer will not boot from the install disk, it keeps ejecting the disk.

    Several possibilities -
    The disk may be from a different model of computer.
    The disk itself may be damaged.
    The optical drive in your MacBook may have gone bad. Can it read other DVDs?

  • Why won't my Mac Pro load things without locking up ?

    Why won't my Mac Pro load things or let me do a "save as" without locking up ? I have tried to run the Apple Hardware Test and it locks up as well.

    you have anitebook in forum for 65lbs towers
    youneed to repair your disk directory or erase and restore
    and use Recovery Mode in 10.7 and later
    AHT does not lick up, not unless your laptop RAM or mobo has failed totally and died, more common for laptops that overheat, sufferwater damage, but still...
    depends on how new what to do, might try macbookmpro forum.

  • Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • Why won't my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

    Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

    Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
    Is it on a network?
    Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
    Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
    Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?

  • Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

    Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

    Hi X,
    I've been having the same problem of mac pro not going to sleep. I think its to do with some universal audio drivers installed with a recent hardware interface I've added.
    the terminal app in response to above line reads;
    com.uaudio.driver.UAD2System(6.3.1)
    com.uaudio.driver.UAFWAudio(4.0.0
    com.digidesign.iokit.DigiDal(9.0.6f4)
    com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard(5.8)
    launch agents (in user)
    com.adobe.ARM.202f4087f2bbde52e3ac2df389f53a4f123223c9cc56a8fd83a6f7ae.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
    com.google.keystone.agent.plist
    launch agents and daemons - too many to list
    any idea from this or would you need to see all the files you listed in Mona Gorillas query?
    appreciate your input

    Tell us, what hardware add ons?
    old software? that required PowerPC/Rosetta maybe.
    Look for any apps, process that used powerpc and look for updates, check out RoaringApps for a table of Lion compatible programs
    does it happen iwth a clean install?
    how about if you do a Safe Boot?
