MacBook Air connected to projector won't display the dvd in the superdrive, but it is playing on the MacBook Air screen.
When dvd is ejected, MB A screen appears on the big screen through the projector. What do I need to do to get the training dvd showing on the screen?
Thanks

Firefox won't display a google slideshow, but plays youtube videos, using winxp sp 3 and have latest flash installed.

When you hover over the area where the video should be, it shows a message with info about flashplayer, but doesn't show the video.
The video shows up in Explorer 8 and the latest Safari.

Ipod won't display song info under "Now Playing"

I searched for this, but couldn't find an answer. My 60GB IPOD works fine, plays fine and displays info (and movies, photos, etc.) correctly in all areas except the "Now Playing" screen, at which point it won't display any info (song title, artist, album art, etc.)
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Patrick

My ipod had this exact same problem.

MacBook Pro connecting to my 2 x displays.....

Hello,
I was just about to click the Buy Now btton, when I had a sinking feeling about Thunderbolt.
Does anyone know if you can connect 2 x 20 inch Aluminium Displays to a MBP ? Thunderbolt seems to have taken over from the traditional ports and I admit I am really behind on the latest spec of Macs !
Ideally, I would love to run both displays and the display on the MBP too, so 3 displays on extended desktop. Is this possible or am I just being silly ?
I guess I will need an adapter, will this reduce resolution or quality ?
Thank you so much in advance
Dave

Does your MBP have Thunderbolt or is it an older model??
If I'm correct, your 20" Aluminum Display uses the DVI connector, right?? That model of display is one generation older than mini Display-port (mDP), which even that is being evolved into the newer Thunderbolt technology.
To answer your question... you can NOT daisy chain DVI display (nor can you daisy chain mDP displays either). So if You are wanting to use Your 20" displays, you need an open port for 'each' display you want connected. Plus, you'll need to use an adapter to be able to connect a DVI display into a mDP (or TB) port.
A mDP-to-DVI adapter like this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A
Basically, even with an additional adapter (to get your DVI display to connect current computers), you'll only be able to use ONE of your external displays... since the MBP only has ONE mDP/TB port.
**side note: if you were using a Mac Pro (the big tower desktop unit), then your graphic card 'may' have more than one video port. Then you would be able to use both of the older DVI displays.
Hope that helps...

New user: connection succeeds, tables won't display

I am new to raptor. I have successfully connected to several databases. I can create queries using CTRL-Space to autocomplete the names of tables. However, when I try to view the available tables in the tree view on the left, I click the plus symbol and then it disappears and it is as if there aren't any tables for me to view. I know this isn't the case as I've logged in with the same connection variables via other tools and the tables are showing up in the auto-complete when I type queries.
Has anyone seen this or have any thoughts on the subject?
Thanks, Frank

Well, by default you're only looking at the tables in
your login schema. What results do you get with
select count(*) from user_tables;0 (zero)
and
select count(*) from all_tables;349
To see others' tables, you need to look under "Other
Users" then select a schema then "Tables"This worked to a certain point. Upon opening Other Users and clicking Show More I can now see all of my schemas and then see the tables that are in each schema (that are visible to this user). The only problem I'm noticing now is that when I click on a table I get the following error when I have the Columns tab selected:
ORA-00904: invalid column name
Vendor code 904
If I select the Data tab I can see the data in the columns but I get the following errors when selecting the following tabs:
Indexes: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement Vendor code 900
Constraints: ORA-00904: invalid column name Vendor code 904
Column Statistics: same as above

I have my macbook pro connected to my lg tv and cant get it to play netflix it only shows the galaxy screen???

My macbook pro is connected to my Lg tv by hdmi chord. The tv shows the screen that has the galaxy on it but i cant get it to switch to netflix??? Help

Hi shesmart2,
So it sounds as if you are not getting video from your MacBook Pro to your external TV display via the HDMI cable. I would suggest looking at this article to start with -

You may also wish to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Desktop/Finder won't display external hd's, but will in Disk Utility

Yesterday, I replaced the original hard drive on my late 2008 Macbook Pro (OSX 10.9.4, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory) with a 1TB SATA hard drive matching the data transfer speeds of the original hard drive. I backed up via Time Machine (on a 2TB) and even cloned onto a second external hard drive (now called 3TB) and had recovered documents (less than 100GB) from a crashed external hard drive (1TB from OWC brand) onto a third one (now called "1TB portable") with the intent of merging the files from the 1TB OWC crashed hard drive via the 1TB portable back onto an internal hard drive which now had some elbow room. My problem is that after erasing & restoring the new internal hard drive using Disk Utility & Time Machine and reinstalling Mountain Lion and then Mavericks, the 3TB external & 1TB portable external hard drives went missing on my desktop and on Finder, but were still listed in the sidebar in the "Disk Utility". Both external hard drives displayed and were able to be browsed through prior to my Time Machine backup & internal hard drive replacement. Both the 3TB & 1TB portable drives were purchased new and specifically said they were for Mac OS X. All drives are virus-free and are physically working. Fortunately, on the 2008 Mac, the new internal hard drive is working beautifully like a brand-new Mac. Additionally, the 3TB & 1 TB portable are NOT recognizable by other Mac's, but, again, were recognized and operational before I reinstalled OS X ML & Mavericks and restored from Time Machine. Also, I've set my Finder Preferences to be able to see them. Both were Mac formatted. The only additional relevant info I think to add would be that in installing my hard drive, my OSX was Mavericks both before and after and that the Time Machine backup was within within the hour before replacing my hard drive so not much changed there time-wise. Once again, I had verified successful data transfer to the 3TB external & 1TB portable external hard drives immediately before Time Machine backup on the separate third drive. 1) How do I recover the backup data from the 1TB portable drive that I already recovered from the crashed OWC drive and 2) since I was obviously misapplying information from the forums somehow, how should I appropriately clone/transfer data in the first place? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
I have had a similar problem. I have a 1Tb portable Seagate drive which I have been using successfully for backups with time machine on a Macbook running Lion for 18 months.
I decided to upgrade to Mavericks and experienced the same symptoms as above. The machine would not recognise the disk in finder. Disk utilities could see the disk but the partition was greyed out and several attempts to repair disk were to no avail. I am afraid that I made matters worse by unsuccessfully trying to reformat the disk.
I made a backup of my macbook to another older mac and tried the hard disk with an old Windows laptop running Vista. It recognised the disk but said it need to be formatted. This I did.
In the mean time I had upgraded my Macbook from 10.9.3.to 10.9.4. I am not sure if this made a difference.
I then plugged the hard disk back in to the Macbook. It recognised it immediately and said that it needed initialising. This I did successfully and (MAC os extended Journal). The disk now works perfectly with 10.9.4 on the Macbook and I have been able to use Time Machine with it to make a backup.
I know this does not help with rescuing data from the hard disc but at least I now have a usable hard disk!

My iPod 5th gen won't display at the bottom games played to be erased after playing

Hi I have a 5th generation ipod which before the last update I could double Click the button at the bottom center and it would display games to be erased. And I could move the screen all the way to my right to display the page that says the keyboard and at the top it said ipod now I don't have either ones I can't erase games at the bottom after played not can I check into the iPod page help it drives me crazy

I do not understand what you mean?
With iOS 5 to remove an app from the recently used list (bottom row after double clicking the Home button) you tap and swipe upwards on the thumbnail of the app you want to remove. Swiping the app icon does nothing.

IPod Classic won't display artwork, delayed gap when playing songs

Hi there,
Recently I had my computer wiped and upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista (Ultimate) The music and iPod were both originally synced to the XP version, Upon reinstalling iTunes on my computer and placing the songs stored on my external hard-drive in my iTunes library and re-syncing my iPod Classic I have found that artwork will not display on the songs (it does display in the side view when browsing through albums though.) along with this whenever I choose a song to play on the iPod there is a long delay with the iPod loading and even just skipping a songs, which is even more annoying, Along with this when I sync my iPod or go to update it, it crashes iTunes
I have tried restoring my iPod countless times, I've enabled disc use, disabled disc use, browsed over and over at the settings and preferences, restored the iPod, reset it, reformatted the iPod, reinstalled iTunes, defraged the iPod (I know its not recommended) performed a disc check on the iPod (which there are apparently no errors) I originally believed it to be corrupted but went through the necessary steps to fix that, I'm at wits end with the thing, any help?
I'm pretty anal when it comes to my iPod being all organised so this is a massive bother to me lol.
Cheers for any help and suggestions,
Phil

Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

When my mac book pro is connected to my LED cinema display, itunes start and stop playing music randomly... Even when i stop it, it start again, and again, and again...

This problem appear recently, at the same time as i've done ios6 update and everything which appear at the same time with all apple software.
i've tried to reinstall 10.7.5 with reinstallation of itunes, but always the same problem...
So, when using LED cinema Display, i keep itunes sound volume at zero, to avoid this problem.
Somebody with the same problem and a solution ???

It is better to take it back to the genius bar.
Your MBP is under warranty and let them fix it for you.
Nobody here can help you with hardware problems.
Best.

(ipod 30Gig) doesn't display the song that is playing on the ipod screen

Every time I click on the song I want to listen to, the screen slides over and the new screen is blank. The song plays but the song that is "now playing" doesn't display any information on the screen at all. It is totally blank. Has anyone ever heard of this happening. I don't want to reset my ipod for such a small problem because I've erased a lot of the music I have on itunes. At the same time it is annoying to not see the song name/length/volume or album art.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I actually had this happen once and a reset worked. I think you are confused by what a reset is. A reset is when you press and hold the Menu and Select button for at least 6 seconds or until the Apple Logo apears; this does not erase music on your iPod. A restore is when you use the iPod updater to erase all of the files on your iPod and put it in the original Factory settings.
