Can we play bluray disc on macbook pro 2011?

i am keen to know that can we play bluray movies on macbook pro??

No.
Different format...  http://www.blu-ray.com/info/
"While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray."

  • Can we play bluray disc in macbook pro

    I am planning to buy a macbook pro. Can we play blue ray disc on the macbook. If no, is there any other mac model which plays bluray

    Dear Mr. Srinivasan
    1st-this forum is for Mac Pro (the big desktop Machine,not portable)-a common mistake.
    2nd-no. due to licencing/technical issues and stubbornness on Apple's part, that's the answer. You can try with VLC or 3rd party software, plus an external Blu-Ray drive, but out of the box, no.
    all the best to you

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • Can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5

    PLEASE help! I'm an old boomer and not too tech-savvy (know enough to get all messed up!).
    I can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5, and it's driving me CRAZY. I'm trying to play files from this website: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/ (just select a song under the "Titles" link), using Safari and/or Firefox browser -- to no good end!
    What can I buy or add on that will enable the playing of MIDI files??
    Thank you!

    I had heard that MIDI worked in Lion, but don't currently have it to test.
    There's a somewhat involved way to get it working described here, or you may be able to download the files & play them locally.

  • How to install operating system on new hard drive without installation disc on macbook pro 2011

    My macbook pro 2011 does not come with a recovery disc or any disc at all, my hard drive recently failed and i have no backup. i have replaced the hard drive but don't know how to install the operating system on the new hard drive.

    If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect the computer to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down. You'll be able to install an OS.
    If it shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier and wasn't upgraded to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, phone AppleCare and order the disks.

  • Can you play blu ray on MacBook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro and I am wondering if I can play Blu ray movies on my MacBook?

    Of course you can...
    I bought this off of amazon.com... Samsung SE-506BB. Took me a while to understand the difference between AB and BB, found that BB is the latest version with a few bugs resolved.
    Get Macgo from http://www.macblurayplayer.com... Download the trail version... I have been playing Blurays using this...
    enjoy
    Thanks & Regards
    Techno.
    Forgot to add... Unlike OWC, Samsung doesnt need an external power supply... Good for carrying around...

  • How can I play sound from my MacBook Pro through my iMac?

    I have a MacBook pro which I am looking to use for only iTunes or Spotify for the time being but the iMac built in speakers are better.
    I am internet sharing from an ethernet on my iMac and the Macbook pro is connected to the shared network.
    Can I play music from Spotify on my macbook pro but out of my iMac speakers?
    Thanks

  • Can I play games on my MacBook Pro by using an external graphics card and using windows via a software called "Parallels Desktop" or do I have to use Boot Camp (I have both installed)

    Can I use Windows Parallel to play games? I mean will it not get enough power? Like I clearly remember that I read some where one my system that the Paralels is getting only 1 GB of my ram. I have the mid 2012 MacBook Pro, the $1500 one.

    You shouldn't use Parallels to pay games. If you want to play games you need to install Windows via Bootcamp so that it has access to all the resources available.

  • Can I play X plane on MacBook pro  13-inch: 2.5GHz?

    Please answer me if I can play xplane on macbook pro, i would like to buy a laptop for a flight sim, can i download some good scenery ang good planes?

    It won't plug both spots. To get 16 GB you will have to buy 2 sticks, one for each slot.
    Apple only recommends and will suport 8 and recommends installing in pairs - so 2 slots of 4 GB each. You can always try the 2 slots of 8 and see if they will work. I would recommend ordering from crucial direct. They are one of the better memory companies around and have a website at crucial.com.
    You shouldn't have any issues as the maximum non-Apple supported config is 16 GB.
    Good luck.

  • Enable remote disc on Macbook Pro 2011.

    So I know this can be done on a Macbook Air but I want to do it on my Macbook Pro. I'm testing the functionality for a friend whose similar model macbook pro has a superdrive that seems to be gradually dying. On my own machine I've tried following the terminal commands listed in this post
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=455975
    The post is as old as 2008 however it seems to be confirmed as working as late as April this year. Yet for me it doens't work at all. I've enabled disc and dvd sharing on a machine on the same network (I haven't entered those terminal commands but I don't think I need to for the machine being used as the server/sharer) I've tried variously switching the disc and DVD sharing on and off on my machine (the client machine) and still can't see any remote disc. I've even tried looking in the sidebar at the laptop which has the disc in it and can see only it's publicly shared folder and no disc. What's happening here?
    Surely this functionality can't only be possible on the MBA, that'd be pretty ridiculous since they both use the same OS and have the same network capabilities and understand the same filesystems and the MBP even has the ability to share the discs. I hope they haven't prevented this from being possible on other machines, I can't see how that would be a good idea.
    Anyone know how to make it work? I noticed in the forum post that one of the two steps had become unnecessary later down the road, should I reverse that step?

    No.

  • Can't play streaming video on macbook pro

    have been sent a video taken 4 days ago, but when I press on the 'play' icon the screen just goes blank !

    Hi
    Sorry to hear about that.
    When you say "died" you mean there is no video output?
    Does your Mac pass POST? (makes chime noise on boot), and does the Capslock key LED go green if you press it? If not, then you may have a power related issue, not video.
    Also, what model do you have (year/processor/GPU)
    Please try an SMC & PRAM reset.
    Cheers

  • About Disc of Macbook Pro

    1.How can i copy two disc of Macbook Pro, what i have when i bought  the Macbook Pro, to HDD or another HDD.
    2.If i lost those disc, how can i reinstall, format my macbook pro?
    3.I have heard about Mac OS Lion will come in this July, and we can get it on Appstore. When i buy and download it, can i write or copy it do DVD and HDD to save them?
    4.When i bought this Macbook Pro, Mac OS Snow Leopard is installed in my MacBook Pro, and it had ilife(iMovie, iWeb ....) If i buy Mac OS Lion, can i have ilife when i install it?

    >1.How can i copy two disc of Macbook Pro, what i have when i bought  the Macbook Pro, to HDD or another HDD.
    I think you meant how do you copy one hard drive to another.  You can do so with a variety of backup software*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    >2.If i lost those disc, how can i reinstall, format my macbook pro?
    Boot off any clone hard drive you make with the backup software that I mentioned above, and you can use Disk Utility to format your hard drive.  Note you'll want at least a second external clone or Time Machine drive before you do this.  Because if there is a failure of one backup during your erase, you'll be left with only one copy of your data.
    >3.I have heard about Mac OS Lion will come in this July, and we can get it on Appstore. When i buy and download it, can i write or copy it do DVD and HDD to save them?
    Unknown.  I see no technical reason why you can do this, but it may not be a bootable copy you make. Apple has said they will give you a restore partition in Lion on the specs here:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/
    Until it is released no one knows if there is any other capability, or if a DVD version of Lion might be available.  This has already been asked at length on the board, with no answers until the release date.
    >4.When i bought this Macbook Pro, Mac OS Snow Leopard is installed in my MacBook Pro, and it had ilife(iMovie, iWeb ....) If i buy Mac OS Lion, can i have ilife when i install it?
    I can't imagine why not.  The only reason might be some feature of Lion that iLife can't take advantage of necessitating an updated release of iLife.  At this point Apple hasn't announced any.
