Intel Mac :: Writing/playing Double Layer DVDs?
Jun 3, 2012My Imac has recently began to show some problems with Dual layers DVDs that I did not experience before. It doesn't burn any DVD9 anymore. Even worse, I can not play any DVD9 I'd burnt on the same drive before, because they are constantly ejected, while before that (till 1-2 months ago) I had no problem with the same discs. With retail dvds or dvd5s (+R or -R). Does it mean that my DVD drive has become defective?

MacBook Air :: Multizone Software For Playing DVDs
Jun 26, 2008I am sure this has been asked before but I cannot find a concise answer anywhere. I have just purchased my first Apple with a Superdrive, however I find once I have purchased it that you cannot easily Multizone or reset the Multizone software for playing DVD's (nothing about this on the box or sales pitch online). Can anyone point me in the right direction to be able to multizone the drive > those of us who have jobs that move us from country to country have a large number of DVD's from the various zones.

Apr 4, 2012I held back from upgrading to LION, but recently installed it in a partition on my MacBook Pro (15 inch, late 2008). The OS is now updated to Lion 10.7.3.Since the instation and upgrade some of my video DVDs are not playing. My DVDs are all Region 2 PAL. I'm based in London, England.Specifically, my Shaun the Sheep collection are not being detected or mounting in the superdrive. Other DVDs are unaffected and play just fine.
I've a second partition on the hard drive with Snow Leopard installed, but when I tried the DVDS on that they no longer worked either though had previously been fine on that OS.Should I stop thiinking of playing them on the MacBook Pro?

Feb 20, 2012My iMac is currently rejecting (spitting out any and all) CDs but accepting and playing DVDs. I have re-set the system management (shut down, unplugged, etc.) and, though I read somewhere to re-set power managment unit, cannot see direct instrucitons on how this should be done on an iMac. Couple of curious points: First, even newly played or burned discs have been emerging a little scratched for as long as I can remember. And, sometimes when playng a DVD, it has to "skip over damaged area."

Intel Mac :: It Ejects Some DVDs?
Mar 11, 2012my iMac won't read some dvds. Specifically at the moment, a factory Paul McCartney live dvd. When inserted, it tries to read it, whirrs and clunks for about 20 seconds then ejects it. It plays on my old G4 1.2dp and both my bluRay player and dvd players in my lounge. I've had problems like this with dvd-r's before but not with factory made dvd's. Since it plays on my home system and G4 I guess it's not a region issue (I'm in the UK) and I can't find any info on the dvd that says it's any particular region. Other factory dvd's can play fine?

OS X :: Intel Mac Mini 06 Failing, Wont Accept CD's Or DVDs?
Sep 7, 2009I have been having some problems recently with my 06 mac mini that i got in august time its the intel one with GMA950 and a superdrive (i think!) lol its the mashita UJ-846 one. Thats what system profiler says at least lol. :-)
Anyways enough about that, for a while now, it wont accept DVDs or CDs in the drive. I have tried to boot off the install DVD and do hardware test, but the DVD ejected. and it just booted straight into the OS..
Is it time to get a new DVD drive? i got a lacie D2 a coupla years back to help with burning DVDs, cos it wouldnt burn DVDs neither, whether thats cos its the superdrive or cos it was failing, i dont know. At the time i searched about and it seemed like it was a DVD drive that was prone to failing on people.Is there anything i can do to test, n see how busted this bad boy actually is??
Its not essential that i need it working as i use the other DVD drive when required. But if i did want to install SL on it, that could be a bit problematic..
Intel Mac :: Apple Hardware Test And OS X Lion 10.7.3 - No DVDs
May 7, 2012How can I run AHT on my iMAC 21.5 inch, MID 2011 and Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)? There were no DVDs in the package, no restart key-stroke combination connected to internet-aht, no aht is included in the package I bought and downloaded from Apstore. One of the 4 rear USB ports seems to be death from the very first moment. I would like to use the AHT to see if this is some SW misconfiguration or is it a HW problem.

Intel Mac :: DVD Player Doesn't Recognise DVDs. Keeps Ejecting?
May 13, 2012I've been having problems with my iMac recently, more precisely with my DVD drive. I think it's a software problem, and no mechanical problem. Let me explain:
When I insert a DVD:
- it will sometimes work perfectly. I can read, burn or whatever I feel like…
- it will sometimes not work. I don't know why, but the drive gives a few try (mechanical noises), and than ejects the DVD. If I try a few more times to reinsert it, it will sometimes just keep the DVD and not eject it, without recognizing it. When I try to open the Disk Utility program, it will simply froze. Or it will open after 5 minutes, but the DVD player will not exist and not appear.
I need to restart the computer. Sometimes it will work after the restart. Sometimes not. It's really random, and I haven't found out on what it depends… Sometimes, when I reboot it because of a trapped-unrecognized DVD, the DVD player will not open. "Initialization error [-70012]"…
I've tried Option-Cmd-P-R at the Start, but it didn't help… I feel like there's something wrong with the software.
It's a 2 years old iMac, using Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8).
I've tried looking on the net, but a lot of people are experiencing mechanical problems (it simply never works), which I think is not the case here (it does randomly work perfectly).

Intel Mac :: 'superdrive' Doesn't Read Or Recognize Film Dvds
May 8, 2012Nothing appears on the desktop, and the DVD doesn't play (this is the second DVD I've tried). The drive works to download software though. These are commercial DVDs from Lovefilm in the UK - there are bound to be some scratches - does this mean I can only play new DVDs?
Also, if I click Finder to eject the DVD, the command is light gray, meaning the IMAC has not actually registered that there's a DVD in the drive, so I have to log off and on again for the DVD icon to appear on the desktop, at which point I can eject it. However, if I click it, it doesn't play. I'd really like to play films if I can.
I don't know what operating system I have, except that it's MAC OS X. I only just got it new two days ago.

MacBook Pro :: 8GB RAM Not Playing Well With Intel Graphics
Jul 3, 2010I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro 6,2 (new 15 inch i7) to 8GB of RAM *Cas 7 PC-8500 DDR3-1066 from Mushkin). It works fine, has passed all of the Rember tests but seems to have some kind of conflict with the Intel integrated graphics card. As soon as I'm running off shared Video RAM I get terrible tearing and static on my screen. When I switch over to the nVidia discrete graphics everything works fine.
The strangest part is that once the computer has been awake and running for a few minutes everything seems to settle in and work properly. Doesn't seem to matter how many times I restart or clear the Parameter RAM. Every restart or wake from sleep throws the integrated graphics into hysteria.

Intel Mac :: Adobe TV Videos Not Playing?
Jun 28, 2012Bought an iMac 3.1 ghz i5 Core (16gb memory). First got it, Adobe TV (tv.adobe.com) worked fine. Great! Then something happened and I'm sure it has something to do with an installation of software. My running bet is on the VirusBarrier. Other suggestions said: (1) Delete Flash Player, clear cache, restart, reinstall FP, delete video files cached via the FP preferences. (2) Another said right click on video window, set the FP settings to allow storage on computer, and another said to deselect hardware acceleration.
And to throw in another point, I have a MacBook Pro 17 (i5 Core) running beside me that has the ability to play the Adobe TV videos with no problem. Are there any other suggestions someone else may have? Firewalls? Turned off and then on. Nothing. Flash Player? Installed and all other flash media sites work fine. So it has something to do with the streaming I'm guessing?
Intel Mac :: Crackling When Recording Or Playing Audio
Mar 14, 2012I'm having a very annoying problem, and I simply can't figure it out. Recently I updated my OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard, because I had some problems with the firewire connection to my fireface 400 sound card. So far this seems to have solved the problem, and for a couple of weeks I was actually able to get some work done. Now a new problem has occured:
When I input audio (i.e. trying to record something) I get some really weird crackling noises. It's very different how loud they are. Mostly they are at the same volume as the instrument I'm recording, and normally it sounds very digital. I've tried hooking a presonus firebox up to my mac, which gave me the exact same problems, so it can't be the fireface that's the problem. The problem is not something that occurs, when recording, but simply when sending audio into the mac. There are absolutely no problems when playing back files from iTunes and Logic.
I've tried repairing disk permissions, and ran all the tests in techtool pro, which all turned out fine, so I'm having a hard time believing that it's a hardware issue even though I've had problems with the firewire connection earlier.
Though it does not sound like clipping, the problem seems to occur more rarely, when playing soft, which just makes it even more weird.

Everything is up to date, it just seems like something has been messed up somewhere inside the mac. Next step is to wipe the hard disc, but I'd rather not do that.
