    I bought a mac just the other day, and upgraded immediately to snow leopard. Everything went fine, until I tried to watch a DVD. The “DVD Player” application tried to start, but then died with the following error

    There was an initialization error. The current machine or system configuration is not supported [-70013]

    I dug around in Google for a while, but couldn’t find anything valuable.

    Then I checked apple’s support forums, and there was this post

    It worked like a charm! Good luck!

    I believe its default is set to 10min (way to long for a professional-use application).

    Here’s a great tutorial on how to change the auto-refresh interval. It’s easy and takes about 2 mins.

    Note: The only thing left out, is that you need to quit the notifier, and restart it for the preferences to take effect.
