Blu rays on a Imac

is there any way to play blu rays on the 27 inch imacs. I do not own one but before i buy one i want to know if i can play them.

I just noticed this today with my player as well, which had otherwise been working perfectly since first purchasing it a couple of months ago.
The only source to my immediate problem that I can think of is the "Command Line Developer Tools for OS X Mavericks" update that rolled out today, which I installed shortly before attempting to boot up my drive -- the only thing I can ascertain is that this has to be an ongoing software update issue with Apple that affects some/all of the players with each problematic update round, since others have reported experiencing similar problems from as far back as January.
Were you able to fix your problem at all?

    You could connect a FireWire Blu-Ray drive and use non-Apple player software.

  • Playback of Blu-Rays on your iMac

    I've been looking into buying an iMac, and so I looked into everything. On the webpage for the graphics card, it said the graphics card was capable of reading blu-rays. However these is no mention of this on the Apple website.
    I was wondering if it was possible to play blu-rays on your iMac.

  • Why can i not play blu rays on my iMac?

    Why can i not play my blu rays on my imac?

    If you want to download VLC, try this direct site:
    http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
    The other site throws up a caution and I do trust WOT to keep my Mac safe (here is a screenshot of the warning I got):
    Here is an interesting article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2042431/watch-and-rip-blu-ray-movies-on-your-mac .html
    It does mention VLC, but only if you copy it first which, according to the ToU of these forums, we are not allowed to discuss here as it circumvents copyright protection. In any case, you'd still need a BR player.

  • Connecting blu-ray to my imac

    hello
    i have bought a blu-ray player and an HDMI to minidisplay port connector to use my 27" imac (2010 model) but i cant seem to make it work.  i dont know how to get the mac to just work as a display. 
    can anyone help!!
    thanks
    tom

    I thought this was one of the features in the 27" iMac. Has it been removed from recent models? At least the late 2009 could connect a video source to the mini DisplayPort and use the iMac monitor as a display for it.
    Apple to date has never supported Blu-Ray capabilities. I think you are confusing the ability to use an iMac as an external monitor from a PC or other Mac. This ability is called Target Display Mode, it was available in 2009 & 2010 27" iMacs however is no longer available with the current (mid 2011) iMac line. If you still want Target Display Mode you can still purchase 2010 iMacs in Apple's refurbished store however the selection is limited and isn't available in every country.

  • Blu ray app for imac

    Is there any software that simply allows me to use my Imac (the last generation model with the optical drive) as the "screen" for my portable Blu-Ray player.  I have the Firewire adaptor and the HDMI cable already.
    Thanks!

  • Looking for a good Blue Ray Burner for Imac

    Hi. I wonder if this idea is possible. I'm working with my Canon XL1 in parties, Events, etc and editing in my Imac 24 inch with Final Cut Express Pro. I wonder if it's possible to finish projects in 100 minutes length from XL1 with 20 to 25 GB each clip, export in 1280x720 (or better) to get HD, and Burn in BLue RAY with very clear results to show in a 52 inch plasma T.V HD 1080. If this is possible (or look alike HD) I wonder which Blue Ray burner will you recommend me for the task.
    Thanks for your answers.
    Best Regards.

    Hi Skalicki. The reason why i asked that, it's because I made some test and what I saw in a 50 HD TV was very confusing. I made a party, I used 7 cassettes and in the final file that was 24 GB I made quicktime Movie, and of course with such a huge file, I burned that in IDVD with a 4.2 GB dvd. In a little T.V is awesome, in a 52 inch HD is awful. Another test, with Xl1, a short 10 minutes clip, burned in IDVD in h264 with 1280x720 HD is very good in the same T.V. What I understand for the test is: If a big clip (90' or more) remains uncompressed and it's burned in HD (mean BLUE RAY for a 90 minutes file), the properties remains intact and the XL1 becomes a look alike HD. The truth is: I wonder if this reasoning is right or not, but until now it's all what I understand.
    Thanks again for your help.

    I need a Blue Ray writer for my new iMac.
    I’ve not used a Blue Ray writer before and I’m not sure if the write - read rates justify going to the expense of a USB3 device?

    The short answer is... Yes.

  • Can superdrive record to a blu-ray disk? (iMac mid 2010 intel).

    Can superdrive record to a blu-ray disk?

    According to Roxio, you can; however, you will need an external bluray burner.

    This product says that it has the software needed (Toast with the bluray plugin).

  • I accidentally inserted a blu-ray in my iMac.  I can't eject it.  I've held the mouse while doing a restart, etc.  No success.  Any ideas?

    I accidentlally inserted a blu-ray disc and I can't eject it.  I have done the things recommended by the help menu (i.e., restart holding "left-click).  My sense is that I'm the only person to accidentally insert a blu-ray!!  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • How to convert Hi8 to iMac? Have 2 video cameras: Sony CCD-YRV98 video Hi8 and Panasonic SDR-SW20 digital video. Please provide the steps to convert to iMovie '11. Also, is there a way to burn in blu-ray?

    I already have two video cameras. One older (Sony) in Hi8 and the less older one (Panasonic) which is digital. Between the two can it be accomplished to transfer the Hi8 video on tapes to iMovie?
    I have the newer iMac 21.5" and also would like to know if it is possible to record this on blu-ray. The iMac didn't come with iDVD, which means I have to get that uploaded. Any other suggestions?

    Sony Hi8 camcorder
    No it is an Analog Camera - and have NO Digital-Out
    I may be made a Wrongful assumption in that the - Panasonic digital camcorder - was a Digital 8 Camera.
    If it is - it has a Digital Out (FireWire) and can playback the Hi 8 tapes from the other Camera.
    If it is a miniDV Camera - it also have a FW-out (Digital out) - BUT can not play Your Hi 8 tapes.
    Then there are not so many ways to do this.
    If Your Panasonic digital camcorder - Has Analog in RECORDING ( not all have this, it was an EXTRA Cost ! ) - Then You can playback from the Hi 8 Camera to this and record onto a miniDV tape - to be played and Captured/Imported into Your Mac.
    The Panasonic digital camcorder - Might have a feature - Play trough - that makes it possibly to use it as an Analog - Digital bridge - some can do this - But You've not told the exact type/no: etc - So I can not guess.
    If this still do not work (The Panasonic digital camcorder do not have an Analog in connection/function)
    - Then You need an Analog/Digita Converting box - from Hi 8 to this A/D-box then to Mac via FireWire.
    There are several types and prices - I got a fairly expensive box due to that I've lot's of old VHS tapes in even bad quality. And this - Canopus ADVC-300 - has a function - Timebase Correction - that helps a lot in regard to drop outs and Audio slowly going out of sync. I just keeps perfect even over several Hours of VHS-tapes.

  • Blue ray authoring on a iMac

    I edit on a iMac with fire wire 400 & USB ports, using premier proCS4.  I asked this question on that discussion and was told maybe someone could answer it here.  I would like to author to Blue Ray.  Is there a compatible external BR burner or a work around using Encore and Toast 10? I googled but couldn't find an answer.
    Thanks
    Kent

    Encore CS3 and CS4 can author to Blu-ray on an iMac with a CoreDuo processor.
    Any external FireWire Blu-ray burner should work.

  • My iMac Keeps on try to boot on my external Blu-ray disk drive

    My iMac Keeps on try to boot on my external Blu-ray disk drive and not the hard drive. Therefore when I turn it on, it boots up and then it go pass the sound and the apple logo come up on screen but then it frezzes and noing happens; even if I hold down the power button.
    System Software Overview:
    Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
    Boot Mode: Normal
    It should not boot off the Blu-ray read/wrigt.
    iMac from 2013 Q1
    Blu-ray is LG read/wrigt for Blu-rays, HD DVDs, DVDs and CDs pluged in by USB

    Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then uninstall and reinstall those 3rd-party items that Roger pointed out, one at a time, and restart. Continue until you determine which ones are causing the problem. If KP while in safe mode, then most likely hardware related. Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember.  See
