Can i use a dvd player with my mac

Hi,
I would like to know which external dvd/cd would be best for my iMac
Many Thanks

Any external optical drives will work with a Mac.
The faster transfer drives are the ones that either use the new USB 3 standard, FireWire 800 or Thunderbolt connection. While USB 2 and FireWire 400 drives will work, they will have slower data transfer speeds.

Can I use my dvd player with apple tv?

I just got an apple tv unit. I have dvd's stored to a hard drive and want to stream to the tv through the apple tv unit. However, the dvd player will not work when I do this. It works fine if I play on the MacBook, but one of the primary reasons I got the apple tv unit was for streaming. Is there an app or download to solve this problem? Or, should I use a different dvd playing program or application?

Yes, you should be able to.

Can I use Windows Media Player with my Mac?

    I am scheduled to have an interview via WEBEX and need to make sure that all the components of the Universal Communications Format are up and running. When I did a diagnosis check on my MacBook Pro, the Windows Media Player 9.0 or newer said I needed a plug in to run. Where can I find this plug in?
   Thank you!!

Michelle,
You can download media components for QuickTime which will enable you to play WMA files through QuickTime on your Mac:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-media-components-quicktime
Alternatively, Get the free VLC player for Mac, which will play almost all media types:

If the interview requires Windows Media Player to be running to conduct the interview, then I fear you may be stuck, there is not a version of Windows Media Player for Mac - It is for Windows. Your options in this case would be to borrow a Windows PC or install a valid copy of Windows on your MacBook under BootCamp.

do I need to create another account with a different email account
Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

Can I use the Airport Extreme with a Mac OS X 10.5?

Yes. In addition to administer the latest version of the AirPorts, you would need AirPort Utility 5.5.3, which requires OS X 10.5.7 or later.

CAN I USE MYApple Cinema Displays WITH MY 13"mac book pro

Your 2014 MacBook Pro should have 2 Thunderbolt ports and 1 HDMI port. We need to find out what plug your Cinema Display has.
Does the Plug look like this:

If so, then its a DVI connector. And you would need a Thunderbolt/Mini Display Port to DVI adapter.

If not, look on the underside of the Display's frame or base/stand, there should be a model number there.

How can I use Microsoft Media Player with my new iPod Nano?

I do not like the iTunes player. I want to use the Microsoft Media Player with my iPod Nano. I dislike the iTunes player so much that if I don't get this resolved I will have to return the iPod Nano.

Can I use Mini DVD's with my superdrive on my Mac?

I was recently given some Mini DVD's that were used on an old Camcorder and I was wondering if I could use it with the Mac superdive

No, you can ONLY use a standard 120 MM size disk in the SuperDrive.

HOW CAN I USE MY PHOTOSMART 8450 WITH MY MAC LION OS 10.7.5?

HI. I have got this lovely machine out of storage. Guess its about 7 yrs old ( my other canon printer black ink wont work) and I cannot find a driver for the operating system on my macbook. The disc wont work and there are no drivers via HP nor Apple. It is not supported any longer and I have had to give up trying to find it. I have an old mac and once I find the cable for it perhaps its older OS will work with it. But then any work I move onto this old mac with my thumbdrive will be on either MS word , word text or adobe pdfs and jpegs that were created on my new mac and might not open with older word adobe etc on the old mac! I have not tried it yet. Do I buy a cheap £7 round pin cable and give it a go or sell this lovely old printer on gumtree?! I have about 8 ink cartridges for it that I could use or sell too! Advice welcome. In the meantime I have a cheap printer head in the mail for my Canon and hope that works too!! Hate waste and just had to dump various older home office machines that would not sell!! Thanks

Can i use adobe flash player on my mac?

Can I install adobe flash on my mac?

Yes. Download it directly from adobe.com, not from any other website. Bogus Flash installers are used to distribute malware.

Can I use my PC accesories with a mac?

I am thinking of buying a mac but want to know whether any accessories I am currently using with my PC will still work on a mac. Are they compatible?
Specifically will the HP scanner, Epsom printer and Wacom drawing tablet that I am using with a PC work on a mac?

As far as I know, all Wacom tablets should work, although you will need to install driver software from Wacom. For printers & scanners, it will depend on the model. This list should tell you all you need to know about that.

Can I use a wireless speaker with my mac?

I really hate all the wires running behind my computer, so it would be awesome if I can buy a wireless or bluetooth speaker for my Mac. I'm just wondering that is it possible to do that? If possible, please give me some hints on how to.
Thanks so much in advance.

A couple of examples:

Both require a transmitter connected to the computer.

Can't use my apple displays with Mac mini

Hey everyone,
I've got a pretty strange problem, and I'm hoping you guys know of a solution to this.
Thing is, I can't use any apple displays with my Mac mini box. Whenever I try to do so I can see that the monitors are turned on, but the screen is completely black (doesn't flicker or anything like that). I know for a fact that both of the apple monitors I tried work.
However, monitors from other manufacturers work just fine! This has got me baffled, what is it about apple monitors that's got my Mac so confused ?

It's possible the analog VGA is working on your mini whereas the DVI digital output is broken. They are two completely different interfaces that just happen to share a common connector on the mini.
Can you possibly get your hands on another, non-Apple monitor that has a DVI input? I would say if all three are not working (two Apple monitors and a third-party one), then definitely something is up with the mini's DVI output.

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; says you can use a PC or player to play music; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; Samsung says you can use a PC or player to play music using the USB port; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod? Or is there some ap?

Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack.

Can I use my Apple DVD player with USB connector with my new iPad?

Can I use my Apple DVD player with USB connector with my new iPad?

No, the iPad won't recognise it. If you are wanting to copy content to the iPad then you will need to copy it to your computer first, and you can then sync it to your iPad.
