• Optical drive will not read anything else professional films

  So, I am owner of a 2012 MacBook Pro 13 ". The computer comes with Intel Core i7 processor and has the maximum of 8 GB of Ram. The problem is that the optical drive that is built into the computer will read nothing else done professionally movies. It can read disks of movies like the Lord of the rings and Wargames, to name a few, I tested, but it will not read any DVD-R disc or to a CD. I tried the CDs as Metallica music... And Justice for all after try in another computer and a radio and get good results when it just won't play on my Mac.

  I have had this problem in the past , but at the time the optical drive not read anything at all. This occurred in early December and I fixed it on 20 December. To solve the problem, I went to the Apple Store and they can Reset the P - RAM. The Apple guy he told me to make sure to disable every night. I did this because it's what I did in the past. After that, I was able to play any CD or DVD and burn them. I also tested it every two weeks by playing a DVD in there to check that it still works. But I discovered that it was broken again when tried to insert a DVD-R to burn things on it and the computer only it spun and then ejected it. I've known this current problem since around mid-April.

  I did some research on it and what I have read I believe that I must buy a cleaning disc and run it in my optical drive to clean the lens of the eye out, but I don't understand how I am able to read some disks and not others if that is the problem.

  Can I take it again in the Apple Store and get it looked like or should I buy a cleaning disc and run it through my optical drive, and then decide what to do next? I'm in no hurry to get this problem fixed because my guarantee does not expire until the end of July this year.

  I don't know why you want to put some words in BOLD and a few words in normal font. Frankly I find it a bit annoying when someone does something like that, but oh well... what you could do is to try a cleaning disc (the one with little brushes this topic) or a good breath of air compressed. In addition, some brands of DVD - R Virgin do not work as well as others. I found verbatim to be good, maybe maxell or Taiyo Yuden. Your mileage may vary...

  If this still does not work, feel free to zap the pram x 2-3) and do an smc reset. Shut down the computer, plug power adapter, hold down the left shift, control, option, and button works / stop for about 45 seconds, let go of all of them, then press the power button to restart. If none of this works, then by all means to make a genius bar appointment and bring it in to your local Apple store. Hey, if you have an extended warranty, might as well use it, right?

  Good luck

• Satellite T130 - 10G: Firefox does not read any video or flash content more

  My Firefox does not read any video or flash content more. And in watching the news of repair troubleshooting/malfunction in Firefox under graphics, he said that "Direct2D activated" and 'WebGL Renderer' have been blocked because of the version of the graphics driver.

  I downloaded a new version on the Toshiba site, but an update of the driver can not find the new version.
  I had briefly solved the problem by installing the new driver from the file but it is not recognized in Device Manager.

  Automatic update through Windows just tells me that the driver is up-to-date.
  I have the Satellite T130 - 10G.

  Would be great if someone could help.

  Thank you!

  Hmmmm... as you know Toshiba doesn't support third party software so I think that your question has nothing to do with Toshiba directly.

  You find the same content with other browsers?

  Hi mate

  I think that the portable player s (optical disc) DVD region is set in the United States and therefore you can not read the DVD released for the European market.

  To resolve this problem, you must change the option of DVD region 2 region.

  My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region

  Notes; You can change this settings ONLY 4 times. After that the parameters is no longer editable.

• Satellite U840-10N - Windows Installation can not see any drive

  Hi all, this is my first post so I hope that I chose the right place to post in.

  I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite u840-10n ultrabook. He joined WIndows 7 Home Premium 320 GB HHD + SSD of 32 GB.

  Even though I prefer Linux, I need Windows because of Microsoft Visual Studio. I downloaded Visual Studio (legally throught dreamspark.com), but it looks like it has some issues. In particular, I can't create any project.

  After searching the Web for this problem, I decided to try reinstalling Windows, hoping that this will solve the problem, and here's the point.

  Installation process of Windows 7 can not find any drive. I looked through the web a lot to solve this problem, even, without understanding.

  I read a lot of other people had the same problem. I tried different ways and I'm about to throw the laptop out the window.

  Is there anyone can help me?

  See you soon,.

• Mac Pro can not read SD cards more

  Hello

  I need help with a strong issue with my Mac Pro, who can not read SD cards more. Gluing of any player on any USB, an SD card is not recognized more. Strange also when I put a CF card in the same drive, it works and I can see the CF card on my desk.

  Someone at - it a response?

  (Mac Pro 3.1, latest El Capitan, several players used, same problem)

  What do say to recognize?

  Finder?

  Disk utility?

• My Omni10 can not read sd cards

  The tablet can not read my sd card I tried 2 sd cards and still does not work. This after I updated my Windows. And sometimes due to the sd card my screen freeze and I have to disconnect my sd card in order to get works. I kinda want my Tablet factory reset. Anyone know how?

  @ richardgho: I agree, however, I do not work for HP, so I have no authority in the matter. Despite this, describing results from the troubleshooting steps you have already accomplished should demonstrate that your tablet is defective.

  If you are still in yout seller of trading period, which may be an easier option for you, instead of getting the HP Technical Support to approve a sectoral approach. Whatever it is, you've been sick, so I hope that you won't encounter any hassles even when organizing an Exchange.

  When you are satisfied that this issue is resolved, please indicate your message 'Resolved' to make it easier for others to learn what works for you.

  Good luck!

• Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

  I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

  Hi Bill,

  To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

  As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I need to activate windows but I can't read any of my key product until I can do?

  HP

  I have a hp Pavilion dv7 notebook & I need 2 activate windows, but I can't read any of my key product until I can do? someone help me pls thx

  Hello tiffanybarnes,

  If someone says here allows you to use product key Finder programs, do not take into account their information as the product key these programs on your preinstalled operating system find will be the HP one used for several installations of the plant and will be of no use in these circumstances.

  You will need to contact HP and ask for their help.

  Or a way around this is to buy a DVD recovery HP to reinstall the operating system or use the built-in recovery Partition containing an image of your OS and reinstall Windows.

  No method requires a product key from your part.

• I have a computer running VISTA. The CD-ROM/DVD-rom does not work and can not read the CD of the program that I placed in it.

  It won't read a DVD.  It will not read ANY CD or DVD.  I tried 12 different CD/DVD.  This isn't an upgrade to Vista; the computer came "made for Vista" with Vista installed on it.  I had added Nero.  I removed Nero.  I did all the updates. I have not released the driver and reinstalled.  He claims to have the latest driver software, but it won't work.  The computer can see the CD/DVD, but he calls it a 'CDROM '.  It is not the case.  It is a DVD/Cd-RW with Labelflash.

  I did everything suggested that past discussions.  I ran FIXIT program that claims that the drive works properly.  It is not the case.

  I tried to get various programs to recognize.  They cannot see the installed media.

  I uninstalled iTunes.

  Please do not give me the answer of cut-and - paste stock; It does not work.

  Please tell me what to do to make Vista see the media inserted in the CD/DVD-RW drive.

  Thank you.

  ------------------------------------------------

  Then go to right click on UNINSTALL - - CD/DVD - Device Manager CHECK THE DRIVERS to REMOVE and
  continue.

  Reset.

  Occasionally, install an upgrade or a re - install will fix the problem and of course the drive or other hardware issues
  could be at stake.

  =====================================

  Here's the answer, just in case there is something you don't have, and I start up and down.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable
  or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

• Vista can not read memory cards, please and get in shape.

  Hi, I have a strange problem that appeared on my laptop Sony VIAO.

  Now it will not read any memory card I use. USB flash drives, SD or MagicGate cards in the slots of the laptop, or the internal or external to a PSP memory.

  In all cases, it recognizes the drive exists, but when I try to open it I get an error "you must format the drive until you can use it."

  An exception is the CF card in my camera, which is very well read (through the camera and USB). Maybe it's because the camera is regarded as a Portable device in Vista, rather than a "device with removable storage".

  I checked all cards work fine in the other PC, and they all used to work on this laptop (i.e. it is not a problem of size of memory card). I have not found anything relevant on the net, and Vista claims that drivers are working and up to date.

  Thanks in advance for any help.
