I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?

This could be several things, but let's get the obvious ones out of the way, first:
1. Judging from your text, there's no problem with anything stuck in the mechanism; it's more an issue of no being to put in a disk. In other words, you're sure that there isn't a disk stuck in your MBP. (That happens a lot for all computers.)
2. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, and repair the disk. This should take under 10 minutes.
3. Perform the procedure outlined here:

4. After you're done, leave a message here as to the status of the repair.

  • I have had my mac-book pro for almost a year, and have just got OSX Mavericks, and now the sound on my laptop is working in a sporadic way, can I change this at all on system preferences or will I have to get it repaired?

    On my mac-book pro the sound isnt working after I have installed OSX Mavericks, should I take it to be repaired, or can I do something on System Preferences?

    In addition to checking system preferences/sound/output and selecting built in if that does not work, make sure volume is up and mute not checked.
    You can try the following, Take a set of headphones and plug theim in and out several times (there is a micro switch that sometimes gets stuck)
    Go to applications>utilities>Audio MIDI set up, see if you can select built in there, make sure volume is uo mute not checked.
    Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:
    Power off, power back on holding the following keys   OPTION + COMMAND + P + R
    Continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times, then release,reboot

    Hi, my trial version of Lightroom 5 has recently expired and I have now fully bought it. I have uploaded the CD onto my Mac, but when I open the Lightroom application again, it still says the trial has expired. Does anybody know how I can update it so I can finally use it again? I really appreciate any help!! Thank you!

    Joanne please remove your current installation of Photoshop Lightroom using the uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    You will then want to download Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  The update contains the entire application.  Photoshop Lightroom can not be installed through the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application and still be licensed with a serial number.

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions; nobody on these boards can.

    - Charge the iPod for half an hour.  Then reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
    - If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mod see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • HT1349 The home button on my iPhone 4 is not working.  Does anybody know how I can restore it?

    The home button in my iPhone does not work.  Does anybody know how to restore it?

    If the basics from the User Guide have all been tried (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) and you still have problems, then you've done all the troubleshooting you can do.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple or an authorized service provider in your area.

  • HT4285 i have been using my mac book pro for almost an year..My  use is pretty safe as i use it only at my home and do not carry it at office... my sues is shall i consider the APPLECARE PLAN....the plan is almost 20% of the laptops cost.

    i have been using my mac book pro for more than 11 months.
    .My  use is pretty safe as i use it only at my home and do not carry it to office...
    my  confusion is that shall i consider the APPLECARE PLAN....the plan is almost 20% of the laptops cost....Will spending so much money be worth it

    Like any other insurance, it's only worth it if you have a problem.  I've purchased it on my "high risk" Macs and not purchased on the others.  So far I've never needed it.

    It will cost you approximately US$250.00 to US$300.00

  • HT1766 Is there any way to get any of the bejeweled games on the Iphone 3G with a 4.2.2 IOS? Through the app store I can't install the free or paid versions. Does anyone know how I can do this?

    I just recently, well I guess finally upgraded my IOS to 4.2.1, and now I can't get my bejeweled game, my facebook, or many other aps that I had installed. I find it very frustrating that just becaseu I can't afford to purchase a new phone that I have to suffer. There is nothing wrong with my 3G. It still works, granted it may be slow compared to the later Iphone models, but I don't mind being a bit more patient and I it works just fine. I have had it for a while and also just recently switched my carrier service to H2). Does anyone know how I may be able to get the bejeweled game?

    If the developers of the app don't support 4.2.1 then the answer is no, unless you have an older version lying around.

  • Does anybody know how you can hide the accordion menu on roll-out?

    Hi
    I know that you can alter the roll-out on the composiiton menu items, but I have some accordion headers that drop down and when you roll off them the accordion does not collapse.
    Thanks, Peter

    Hi Vikas, thanks for your response.
    Sorry, perhaps I did not explain properly. What I meant was when you currently roll-over an accordion header it will, of course, expand to show you the full content of that accordion (in my case the accordion expands to show the full menu, allowing you to select a specific page within my site). However if you choose to not open anything from this menu and mouse away from the accordion it does not automatically collapse. If you go to www.deplounge.co.uk you will see what I mean. I built this entire site in Muse (of course!) I hope you like it.

  • Does Anybody Know How I can Save My Website to the Adobe Cloud?

    I have a website http://electronic-smoker.com/ that needs to be saved to the cloud.  Can anybody show me how to do that?

    If you had Creative Cloud subscription, you can use cloud storage.
    However we can not confirm your mention "save", do you want to backup your site data?
    So you can backup your site data to your cloud storage.
    If you intend to migrate web hosting service, you can make use Adobe Web Hosting service (aka Business Catalyst).
    This service required some fee in addition to CCM subscription if you want to use any additional function like shopping cart, site analytics, marketing mail.
