This can be caused by having two copies of ProPresenter open or by having Apple DVD Player open before launching ProPresenter. Close both applications and relaunch the one that you need to use. - About Us - Follow @RenewedVision Submit Copyright © 2005-2013 Renewed Vision LLC. All rights reserved.

My Thoughts Return to Content Life after removing your Mac Book Pro DVD drive, A valid DVD drive could not be found By steedancrowe on October 3, 2013 in Apple, Blogging, DIY, Mac, Troubleshooting 8 This year… or was it last year? I can't remember. I replaced the Hard drive in my Macbook Pro with a Solid State Drive. Like many others, I took the opportunity to use the old Hard Disk to replace my DVD drive (which I though I hardly used). Turns out, I use it more than I think, so I bought an external drive. It's handy, but of course, nothing is that simple. Because I have no internal drive, I cannot play movies on the external drive through the build in DVD Player. If this error looks familiar to you, you're not alone: "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]" Thankfully, there is a solution. Step 1: For this to work, you will have to make some changes to the DVDPlayback framework on your Mac. You will need a Hex editor to do that, you can download 0xed for free here. Step 2: Back up the file /System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A/DVDPlayback by copying it to your desktop, or somewhere else on your computer. This is just an added precaution. Step 3: Open the file in 0xed. Step 4: Hit Command + F (Find) or go to EDIT> FIND> FIND, and then type in “Internal” in the top FIND box, and type “External” in the bottom REPLACE box. leave “Ignore case” checked, and then hit REPLACE ALL. Step 5: Go to File->Save As. Save the file to your desktop careful not to replace the backup copy. Now just drag that file back into the /System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A/ folder, overwriting the old file. (You may have to give your admin password to modify the file). That's it! This worked for me and I hope it saves you some fussing around as well. Took me several months to find this information, so I'm hoping by putting it on my Blog I can help someone else find it more easily.
