My DVD player does not recognize my DVD's

My DVD player keeps saying wrong disc, or no disc, or disc error.

Ok this happens sometimes.

Try one or more of these trouble shooting steps:

1. Try an older DVD (that you know has worked before), if that works then your new DVD is a different format that your DVD player does not recognize. If you have a newer player connect it to the internet and update the software. If you have an older DVD player then you either need to buy a newer player or an older DVD lol.

2. Make sure there are no foreign objects in your player like, oh I don't know, sugar cookies, tape, paperclips, pencils, pancakes...kids find a way...

3. Make sure your DVD is not scratches too badly, OR that your DVD is clean.

4. Purchase a DVD Player Cleaner. It is fairly inexpensive about $5.00 on the cheap end.  It looks like a DVD or CD and has small thin fingers on it usually.  Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy I know has them, I have seen them there. Other places that sell electronics may have them as well. Just check around.

5. If all else fails and your DVD player just will NOT play anything, it is time to either get a new one, or take yours to a technician and have them fix it for you.

My Chromecast Button Disappeared

So you were using your Chromecast on lets say Netflix just last night, this morning the cast button is gone!!! What gives?

It happens to me every now and again.

Try one or more of these trouble shooting steps:

1. Make sure no one else is casting to the same Chromecast stick.
2. Make sure your device you are casting from has battery power, or plug it in.
3. Check that your using WiFi and not your android or service provider if using a pad, computer, or phone; which I assume you are using one of them.
4. Force stop Netflix (or whatever app you are using) on your device, don't just close out of it, actually go into settings and force stop it.
5. Make sure you have the latest update on your app (Netflix etc.).
6. Reset Chromecast using the reset button on the stick.
7. If all else fails, unplug your Chromecast from the power source, if that does not work unplug Chromecast from the Television.

I hope one of these steps work for you!  Good Luck. Post a comment if it helps you, or if you have another suggestion!

My DVD's Stopped Playing

If anyone has a Windows operating system your DVD player probably stopped playing DVD's as well as CD's and other media
Why?

With the "terrorist attack" that Microsoft Media sent to everyone's computer, "Hijacking" them and forcing a Windows 8 then Windows 10 download, many errors have occurred.

The latest error is that your DVD player is not able to read anything.

Why?

After much research, checking blogs of other folks, who seem to have the answer...They DIDN'T.

I figured it out just now.

Windows in now charging $14.99 for Windows Media players and DVD player.  SO...There is your answer. They wiped the drivers off of your computer and now you have to pay for their same program that was FREE before.

ALSO, if you attempt to refresh, repair, or restart your computer from the last save point... you will find that the last Windows update your computer did, It ERASED ALL INFORMATION. Therefore the last date you can choose to got back to to refresh your computer to is the one where your computer was originally updated to Windows 10.

Like most of you I am seriously ticked off that they can do this to MY computer.  However, after I cooled off and thought it through, it was their software and product to begin with and I was using it for free. If they want to charge me now that is their prerogative.  However, the decent thing to do would have let the users know that:
1. an update was coming
2. the update is out of their control
3. they would have to find a new dvd cd player

Instead they did not prepare users, and offer NO help on  their Microsoft site.

I hope this has answered someones questions out there who may have been as frantic as I was.

A Statistics presentation exercise in Forensic Science

This was used at TAMUCC for a Statistics class 

We were supposed to use the bones found, their measurements, random sampling of the student bodies bone measurements, to determine who's bones we found.

We were wrong.  But maybe you will do better than us!
