Burned a movie to DVD from Macbook, but dvd wont work on DVD player

how come does this message saying, this type of disc cannot play on a DVD player?, but it still works on the computer

Is your DVD player capable of playing DVDR? If it is then perhaps its just the way the file was burned. If you have a different DVD try using that and see if it plays. If that doesn't work then either your DVD player doesn't play DVDR or your settings are wrong.

  • My printer (HP8500) is wi-fi connected to my imac and my macbook. works fine from macbook, but has stopped working on the imac--shows offline. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I have an iMac and MacBook Pro, both running Snow Leopard at current maintenance levels. I have an HP8500 printer connected via wi-fi. All have been working well until just recently. Now, the iMac cannot communicate with the printer. The printer icon shows offline. The printer is still online to the MacBook. I suspect a related problem is that when I try to access files on the MacBook from the iMac, I get a message that they are unavailable, but re-clicking once or twice to re-try works and the files are accessible. The only problem is that I cannot modify them from the iMac, even though the sharing options are set for update capability.
    Resetting the printer and re-booting the iMac don't help.

    Yosemite is a big problem.
    I recommend you factory reset the TC and start over.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Redo the setup from Yosemite.. it needs to be directly involved in the setup to remember anything.
    Please use short names.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg TCgen5 base station name. TCwifi as wireless name.
    Set password WPA2 Personal security which is pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.
    Please empty out all the old wireless names from your devices.. reboot them and rediscover the network.
    If it still fails tell us.

  • My AppleCare protection plan wont register. I enter the number given and the correct serial number for my macbook but it wont work.

    I have entered the correct registration number for protection plan and the correct serail number but it fails. I am outside calling hours (as I dont have protectionplan lol) and am eager to get it up and running.

    Call AppleCare during regular hours and they'll register it for you. In the meantime, there is nothing for you to "get up and running" except your computer, and you don't need to register AppleCare to do that.

  • How can I burn a movie to dvd when I don't have iDVD on the new macbook pro?

    I have recently purchased a macbook pro and I have made a movie in iMovie, however i don't have iDVD as it no longer comes on macs so how can I burn this movie to DVD without this program? Is there a program already on my laptop or do I need to purchase one and if so what can I purchase?

  • I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R.

    I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R.  Any clues?  Nothing shows up in Finder as far as a Device, and I have a message telling me to "Insert a blank disc to begin" and that I will need a disc with at least "47.6 MB"--it's only 18 photos, and I need to burn them for a parent of a student (I'm a teacher).  I have tried several different discs, so it's not the actual CD or DVD.

    Create a new folder. Place the photos in that.
    From the Finder File menu choose New Burn Folder. That will appear on your desktop. Place the folder of photos  you created into that.
    Now open Disk Utility and you will see that Burn Folder listed. Choose Burn from the menu.

  • I get an error code when burning a movie to DVD

    I use Premiere Elements 10 in my iMac OS lion vers. 10.7.2
    I have 250 Gb free on my hard disc. The movie I try to burn is between 3-4 Gb
    When starting to burn my movie to a DVD the following is seen in order on the screen:
    Encoding Menu 2 of 2
    Computing Media
    Burning disks 1 of 1
    and then it burns (at the end pretty quickly) to 99% and stay there.
    I get an error code:
    Internal software error: /Users/labuser/premiere/elements/molecules/pre10-bullseye/molecule-17/External/AuthorScri pt/Source/DVDCreator/FormatLib/Ma.....
    When I look on the DVD, it looks like nothing has been burnt to the DVD.
    What can be wrong?

    I still have trouble with burning my movies to DVD.
    Have tried the following:
    Found that I had "-" in many of my file names (clips). I removed them from the file names, but this had no effect.
    I moved my entire project folder to a shorter path folder. This had no effect.
    I have not managed to find blank DVDs on sale here in Gothenburg, but will try to buy them online.
    I have four movies that I want to burn on DVD discs.
    Have succeeded in burning two of them.
    I've tried to find what distinguishes between the two that are OK and the two that I have not succeeded with. They are all at about the same size, about 27-29 minutes long.
    The clips are .m2ts and .mts files.
    In one of the movies that are OK, all the clips are .m2ts files. In the second movie (that is OK), most of the clips are .m2ts files, but also there are .mts files.
    In the other two movies that are not OK, it's a mix of .m2ts and .mts files.
    When I try to burn the two movies which failed, I get the same course as I showed earlier (with an error code).
    I must admit that I was wrong when I previously wrote that I could burn all the movies to my hard drive. The ones I can not burn to DVD, I can not burn to my hard drive.

    Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

    Movie details

    Thanks!!

    You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • HT1095 burn my movie to DVD without iDVD

    How do I burn my movie to DVD? I bought a Macpro last November and there's no iDVD.

    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
    With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
    IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • How to move firefox history from macbook?

    Hello,
    Need to know how to move firefox history from macbook to other new macbook?
    Thank you

    You can use Firefox Sync to sync the history.
    You can also copy the places.sqlite database file from the old computer to the new computer.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
    Open Finder and use one of these:
    *Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
    *Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear

  • Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

    Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

    It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.
    OR
    Your Superdrive may need a clean.
    If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

  • I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

    I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

    The fix for this is supposed to be resetting the system clock to automatic time, but this, as we've seen, more often than not fails to work. After a bit of an email exchange between Apple support and myself I discovered the true fix for this issue, or at least, the one that they said to use and that worked for me.
    After resetting your clock go to the folder /Users/Shared in Finder and delete the folder "SC Info". This is a hidden folder, so the way you will need to get it to appear is to use the go to folder command (Shift + Command + G) and type in /Users/Shared/SC Info and hit enter. Change to the column view and you'll be able to see the folder there. Move it to the trash and it will go away, and take your problems with it. Restart the computer for the deletion to take effect and then reauthorize your itunes. Should play your rentals after that.
    Props to Zarchanalin for the answer!

  • My lap top wont import pictures from auto play. it keeps saying there is a file error and a device connected to the computer isnt working properly. i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste the pictures but this wont work either.

    my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.
