  • My Mac Book Pro does not recognize the presence of a DVD or CD

    Ever since I upgraded my MacBook Pro, it does not recognize a DVD or CD of any type when I put it in. I have a store bought DVD, the Social Network, which worked fine before upgrading to OSX operating system. Music CD's were okay then, too. Now, neither is even recognized by the player. Thought maybe it needed to be reloaded, but na't figure out how to do that. This is very frustrating, and makes me start to second guess my decision to switch to an Apple product. I've only hd this computer about 18 months, did the upgrade last September (?) and have had difficulties ever since. HELP me please!!!

    Use Apple Hardware Test
    Open the Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Print to print these instructions.
    Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard, mouse, display, and speakers. If you have an Ethernet cable or external DVD drive, disconnect them.
    Restart your computer, holding down the D key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen. If you don’t, Apple Hardware Test may not be available on your computer. You may be able to start Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Reconnect your computer to the network, and then restart your computer while holding down both the Option and D keys.

  • IDVD spits out DVD before finished burning

    With around 20-30 minutes left in the burning process my computer spits out the DVD that I'm trying to burn to. I keep seeing the same threads around but none of then solve my problem.
    Info:
    I'm using memorex DVD+RDL discs
    I successfully burnt a DVD yesterday with the exact same content on the exact same DVD type
    My project is 2 hours and 30 minutes long
    I have 70+ gb of storage left
    I'm not running any other programs in the background
    If I try to save as disk image I get "DVDs created from double layer images may not play well I'm some DVD players" and having the DVDs work on some DVD
    players and not others is not an options
    This has happened to me twice already
    My computer is a 13-inch 2010 MacBook. Processor: 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo. Memory: 2gb 1067 MHz DDR3
    I'm burning at 1x burn speed using iDVD version 7.1.2
    I'm burning at professional quality
    I'm trying to get the best possible quality in my project I don't care about the time it takes

    If there are any movies in the iDVD project did you do any re-editing after the 1st burm and this attempted burn?  If so that's creates a known but in iDVD and you should delete the movie from the project and then add it back or start over with a new project.
    You're following nearly off the typical best practices except for the brand of disk.  Memorex has a poor reputation here, low dye content.  The most recommended brands in this forum are Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R. The same would be for DL disks. 
    -R disks will play in older DVD players.

  • Since IOS8 and iMovie 10.0.5, using Theater, I cannot transfer my movie to my iPad.  iPad does not see the movie via iCloud.  What other ways can I transfer my movie from my iMac to my iPad?

    Before installing iOS8 on my iPad, and also updating to iMovie 2.1; and installing the Maverick on my iMac, new movies I make on the iMac and load into Theater do not come over to my iPad.  This seems to be due to a new Yosemite OS no yet released.  What are a couple of other ways I can transfer my movie to my iPad?  I am out of ideas. 

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

  • Foxfire just updated to 3.6.14. Now when I open Facebook, in the secured site, it keeps asking the name of this computer each and every single time. Facebook does not recognize the computer, as it did before.

    As above, whenever I reopen Facebook, I have to put in my log in information, and then I have to put in "home", as the name of my computer, and I have to do this each time I open up Facebook, after I just got the new Firefox update to 3.6.14.

  • IPhoto 9.4.2 does not show mp4 movies to import from SD Card

    Hello mates, since last december when I reformatted my Macbook, iPhoto is not showing the movies in my SD Card when I import photos. Before formatting, it always showed the photos and movies, but I don't know what happened or what I have to do to make it show and import the movies again.
    If I copy the movie from SD Card to Desk and try to import it to iPhoto, it does, but when I close and reopen iPhoto, it does not show the movie there anymore and If I open the contents of iPhoto Library and check for the file, it is there fisically.
    What could be happening to my iPhoto?
    Thanks in advance.

    but it still does not accept mp4 movies neither show them in my sd card when I plug it in my MBP.
    Is this when you plug in the memory card into the MBP card reader? What do you see in the card when you use the card reader?  Is the Finder view preferences set to show memory cards on the Desktop when inserted into the reader?

  • I have iMovie 11 version 9.0.04. When I try to burn a movie on a dvd  the button ''share ''does not open the idvd window. I do not find idvd in  my computer

My computer said that I have a 6.0.4 idvd version but I do not find it in my applications list. I tried to download the next versions but is said that it is not possible. How can I burn my videos on dvd-r?

  • I made a movie using iMovie. I went to share and selected idvd. It processed the movie,but nothing happened. The tutorial shows icon on bar,but I can not find idvd. What am I doing wrong?processed

    I made a movie in imovie. I went to shate and selected iDVD. It processsed the movie for about 5 min. When it finished I did not have the icon at the bottom of screen like the tutorial displayed. How do I find iDVD?

    Check in your Applications folder to see if you have the iDVD application there? 
    Do you have a new Mac that came with Lion preinstalled?  If so you won't have iDVD nor iWeb.  Apple has discontinued iDVD and iWeb and is no longer selling them.
    In that case you'll have to purchase the boxed iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: iLife 11.
    Also it's best to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu opiton in iMovie and then add the movie from the Media Browser in iDVD to the iDVD project.  It provides a better qualtiy movie to iDVD. 
    Also follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Idvd does not burn dvd

    idvd does not burn project to dvd

    You're going to give us a lot more information that that. 
    What version of iDVD do you have? 
    What happens when you try to burn the iDVD project?
    Any messages or warnings?
    What type of content do you have, i.e. movies, photos for slideshows?
    What brand of DVD disk are your using? 
    If you get to the point of starting a burn what speed do you select.

    Hi Elaine

    Since I tend to message with teh same people I leave the messages available to me.  If you are in one conversation with "Karen"  and want to message with "Kathy" tap the message back arrow and select Kathy.
    As always just be careful to rememeber who you are messaging to!
