DISCUSSION
Symptom
Note: If you are running the North American English version of Mac OS 9.1, you may download and install Apple DVD Player 2.4 here . Other languages will follow.
The reason this error occurs is because Apple DVD Player was not upgraded to version 2.2 before Mac OS 9.1 Update was installed. Mac OS 9.1 requires Apple DVD Player 2.2 or later. It is not compatible with Apple DVD Player 2.0b (included with Mac OS 8.6) or Apple DVD Player 2.0 (included with Mac OS 9.0 through 9.0.3). Apple DVD Player 2.2 is available from Apple Software Updates at
http://www.apple.com/swupdates/
.
To install Apple DVD Player 2.2 software, do the following:
2. Perform a Clean Installation of Mac OS 9.0.2, 9.0.3 or 9.0.4. This will install a new System Folder on the hard disk and rename the current System Folder to Previous System Folder. See article 60496: " Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation ." (See Note 1.) 3. When the installation is finished, quit the installer and install Apple DVD Player 2.2. 4. When the installation is finished, quit the installer and move the Apple DVD Player folder from the Applications folder to the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder. You may see an alert box that says an older item of the same name exists here, and would you like to replace it. Click OK. 5. Open the System Folder 6. Open the Extensions folder 7. Drag the following extensions to the root level of the hard disk: - DVD AutoLauncher - DVD Decoder Library (This may only be present on iMac computers) - DVD Navigation Manager - DVD Region Manager - DVD Runtime Lib 8. Drag these extensions into the Extensions folder of the Previous System Folder. 9. Drag the following folders to the Trash: - System Folder - Applications (Warning: DO NOT move the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder) - Apple Extras - Assistants - Internet - Utilities - Web pages 10. Rename the Previous System Folder to System Folder. 11. Rebless this System Folder by opening it, then opening the System file (has a suitcase icon), then closing these windows. 12. Restart the computer. This issue will not occur if you upgraded the computer to Mac OS 9.1 using the CD-ROM updater. The disc may be used for full installation or clean installation. If you already use Mac OS 9, you may qualify to purchase a Mac OS 9.1 disc at reduced cost. To get details, visit the Software section at http://www.apple.com/ .
