Burned DVD does not play in MacBook Pro but does in other computers.

Hi, everyone. I have recently had some issues playing backed up copies of DVDs that I have. These two particular DVDs have not been able to play properly with DVD player. They will begin playing but never actually make it to the main menu screen. I have tried downloading other media software, such as VLC, but this has not been of any help.
What's even more bizarre is that they successfully play in my old Dell computer (Inspiron 700m) and a desktop HP that the rest of the family uses. Does anyone have any insight or advice? Thanks.

In addition, make sure the burned DVDs are not dirty, cracked and/or smudged in any way. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50448 *How to Handle and Clean CD and DVD Discs*

  • HT3209 iTunes Movies not playing in MacBook Pro, but work on iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

    I have purchased several HD movies from iTunes and none of them work on my MacBook Pro (purchased in 2010).  I keep getting a message that says my media player doesn't support the videos.  How is this possible if I legally purchased these through iTunes and they work on all of my other devices?  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hard Reset the  iPod  as below- this does not delete or erase any song or data.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

    I have a Serial Number which worked fine on my MacBook Pro but does not work on my desktop PC (Win 7).  What is the problem?

    You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you.  But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • CS4 Install DVD does not mount on Macbook Pro after Maverick upgrade

    I upgraded a Macbook Pro to Maverick from Snow Leopard. I want to install CS4 but when I put the DVD in the Superdrive, it spins and spins and eventually says that the DVD is blank. I have successfully mounted other DVD's so I don't think it is a drive problem. I have also tried the DVD in a newer model Macbook Pro and it mounts successfully. Does anyone have any idea what is causing the problem. More important, is there a different method I can use to install CS4?

    I am not saying that the CS4 applications will not work but Adobe has never tested All CS4 applications on MAC Maverick. It might or might not work.

    But yes if that works, its good. I just wanted to keep you updated in case in future if the application gives you any issue with the performance.

  • AOL mail will not work on MacBook Pro, but works on iMac

    My wife has attempted to check her aol mail account online, through Safari, and every message that she opens appears as "garbage." I recently installed Snow Leopard on both of our computers. AOL mail works on my iMac, but not her Macbook Pro. Honestly, among other issues, I'm a little disappointed with Snow Leopard. Leopard was released without problems for either of us.

    Did you ever find out what the problem is???

  • When playing any audio the audio quality on my Thunderbolt display steadily worsens over an hour period and becomes garbled. Restarting the media player fixes it. Does not occur when MacBook Pro is undocked.

    When playing audio/video on my MacBook Pro docked to Thunderbolt display the audio quality steadily worsens until it is garbled beyond understanding. I don't know if it occurs when using the MacBook undocked. It takes about an hour to become noticeable and steadily worsens. Simultaneously when the computer speaks the time this is also gargled. As the problem develops it sounds like there is a static halo around each spoken word.

    Hi GeoChester,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are experiencing some sound issues on your Mac that worsens over time. In this situation, the first troubleshooting step that I would recommend would be to reset your computer’s PRAM. To do this, please follow the instructions in the following attached article.

  • 10.5.4 retail install DVD will not install on macbook pro

    I have a retail OSX Leopard DVD
    version 10.5.4
    2Z691-6232-A
    I am trying to do a clean install of the OS on a Macbook Pro 5,2
    Intel Core 2 Duo  2.8GHz/ 4GB of memory
    The machine is currently running 10.5.8. The OS currently installed on the machine in question was originally installed from the same disk.
    This is a company machine & the company I work for purchased the DVD and the changing the startup disk has always worked in the past.
    There shouldn't be any sort of sketchy I borrowed this disk from my step-brother's cousin's wife.
    The disk mounts on the desktop.
    When I change the starup disk to the DVD and restart nothing happens. The system restarts but does not do it from the boot DVD.
    When I hold down the c key during reboot the machine goes into a booting loop but never boots.
    startup tone/30 seconds(no apple screen)/startup tone, etc.
    It seems like there is a problem with the DVD even though it mounts on the desktop.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for responding.
    I'm sorry I wasn't clear. The disk was never borrowed.
    The disk was bought by a business. Only used by the one business and it didn't come with a computer because it was bought online by one busines who has always kept the disc in their possession.  We have used this disc numerous times to reinstall 10.5.4 on a number of our machines.
    The disc in question is black like the box that is comes in. In my experience OS discs before 10.6 (especially retail discs) are not linked to a machine so this has nothing to do with the wrong disc.

  • External cd/dvd drive not mounting on Macbook Pro with retina display, help?

    Hi, I've recently purchased an amazon cd/dvd drive, this one to be exact http://www.amazon.co.uk/External-DVD-LIGHTSCRIBE-Burner-Netbook/dp/B00ABGW9J8, and it's not showing up on my desktop, sidebar or even the disc utility. When I plug it in the drive turns on and I can insert/eject discs, but it isn't mounting on my 10.9 macbook pro, any idea's how this can be fixed?

    There have been numerous reports of problems with the USB 3.0 ports on the 2012 models - both Retina and non-Retina. There was a 'fix' that was issued before ML was released that seemed to have solved some problems but not all. ML was supposed to be the real 'fix' and I've not seen too many post about USB 3.0 problems lately. It just seems as if some drives work and some don't. Apple did issue a tech note about using USB 3.0 ports - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5172#12 - but I'm not sure that it will help you or not.
    I've not read of any problems with TB storage devices, so you'll likely be OK there. It's just those USB 3.0 devices that seemed to be causing some kinks.

  • Re-Install of 10.4.6 from original DVD will not complete on MacBook Pro

    I purchased a new MacBook Pro 15" laptop around Oct 1, 2006 and I am now unable to use it.
    It came with 10.4.6 installed. I updated the system to 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 using update packages directly from the Apple site. Then I ran a Security Update to 10.4.8 and nothing has worked right since.
    I tried using Disk Utility in every way and was always able to repair with no errors found. I tried to troubleshoot various applications to see if they were the issue with no improvement. The ultimate problem was the entire system would freeze and would have to be rebooted. Sometimes the system would boot up, sometimes the apple and gear would run and then a circle with a line through it would replace the apple symbol. Sometimes I would get the dreaded blinking folder with question mark. Most of the time rebooting could eventually get you to the desktop, but the system never worked for longer than 15 to 30 minutes.
    So, I decided to reinstall 10.4.6 from the install DVD that came with my computer. I cannot get 10.4.6 re-installed. I have used disk utility to erase, repair, partition and so on and after a few tries it repairs succesfully.
    I ran the Hardware test and it says no trouble found.
    The install log ends with the following three errors:
    1. unable to copy package source file OSInstall.dist to destination reciept ...
    2. unable to copy package source file archive.bom to destination reciept
    3. Install failed: Some Files for Base System may not have been written correctly.
    I am at the end of my rope. Please help. Thanks!

    I agree...bad drive or bad controller or even a bad connection. Hardware issues on computers still under warranty should be dealt with by Apple. Even though you have already run the hardware test, there could still be a hardware problem. You could try booting from a disk repair utility like Disk Warrior but that means you would have to buy the utility and that's money you should not have to spend on a machine that is still covered by warranty.
    There is one other thing you could try and that would to try and boot the computer into "safe mode" and try everything discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Also, if you have access to another Mac, you could try booting your computer into target disk mode and then run disk repair from the other computer. Also, if you computer boots into target disk mode, you can copy any vital data and files before you hand it over to Apple for repair.
