all the tapes are in scratch media and when I start the job, the job would que and BE could not load any tape. any suggestions why that is?

Test with a backup of a couple of small files.

Backup exec should just grab a tape from scratch media set and assign it to the media set in need of a tape.

on monday, the BE use tape 1 from scratch media and assign to media set . tuesday , BE took tape 2 from scratch media. BUT on wednesday, BE use tape 1 again. my media set propertie is OPP 2 weeks, AP 5 days. why would BE use tape 1 again? please advise.

Because your append setting is on 5 days, so BE may use that tape again for the next 5 days after the first time writing to the tape. So on monday it grabs the tape, it can use it again until friday.
If you don't want that behaviour you should make your append dat way shorter, like 1 day. But why would you want this ? its extreme waste of space on tape to have only one backup set per tape?
Or do you want one tape per day?
EDIT: Forgot to answer one of your questions. It took tape 2 because it probably had to backup to a different media set so it needed a new tape. It took tape 1 again for the first media set and because it was appendable for 5 days.
