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.

Can I use mini dvd's in my new imac?

Have several movies made with sony mini dvd camcorder, can I put the mini-dvd in the dvd slot of my imac, or will it get stuck? Thanks,
Dan

I was thinking about this and one way to avoid this problem completely is to invest in an external Pioneer Burner housed in an ext. FW enclosure.
Essentially one needs to make certain the drive has the capacity to play such a disk prior to its insertion into the machine.

I realize it's much harder to do this visual exam on a laptop or a slot loading S-Drive as opposed to a slide out tray as shown above.

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.

Have a canon dc310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?Camcorder unable to connect to computer. Will a mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with a mac?

I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's? Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with the Mac? Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac? Thanks!!

No DV port in camcorder. Just a yellow AV port/hole. I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's. Can I use this with a Mac? Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac? Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way? Thanks again!

I can't use my Philips monitor with Mac mini

I can't use my Philips monitor with Mac mini, I am using a HDMI to VGA cable to connect them. But no signal on my Philips monitor.
My Mac mini is in a good condition, it can connect with my HDTV, the BENQ monitor at my office, but I can't make it connect with my Philips monitor.
I dun know what happen.
Please help!
Thanks!

The two are incompatible, HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal. You need a monitor with a HDMI port or a DVI-I port, these are both digital signals. DVI-I gives the best output.

I want to upgrade iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade iMac from that DVD

I want to upgrade my iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with my purchase of the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade the iMac from that DVD that came with the laptop ? Thanks

No, that 10.6.3 DVD is system specific to the MacBook Pro.
You need a Snow Leopard Upgrade > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
or if a MobileMe users > Apple throws MobileMe users a free version of Snow Leopard

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.

Using 8cm dvd disks with iMovie

Several of the students in my school are using mini DVD camcorders of their own.
Am I right in thinking that it's NOT possible to export and edit footage from these dvds? Surely not!
At the moment I can't even figure out a way to insert the disks without going back to using one of our old tray loading G4s. Do I need an adaptor to insert them into slot loading G5? (Some camera manuals seem to warn against this!)
Is there any point any way? How would I rip the DVD contents into a format that's importable into iMovie HD?
Can't believe that a new camera format such as this seems to have this basic functionality all wrong!

you have some options to import content from a DVD
(as long, as your iMac's dvd drive supports dvd+)
* DVDxD
V (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple
mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works
25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to
dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a
DVD-player and disk to tape/use as converter
Yes, the Imac does play DVD+ discs. Do you have a preference for any of the programs suggested? Many thanks for your help with this.

How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices?

I just got an ipad mini and I registered it with the same Apple ID I use for my iphone 4s. Everything was fine until I downloaded apps to the ipad and noticed that the ones I had on both devices no longer opened on my iphone. Why is this? How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices and how can I recover my apps on my iphone?

I've had an iPad for almost two years. When I purchased an iPhone last fall I set it up to use the same Apple ID as my iPhone. I've had no problems doing this. Try resetting each device and see what happens.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

Mini DVD's with the Mac Mini

I have a mini DVD that I would like to use within iDVD, but I want to make sure the mini DVD's will work with the SuperDrive in my Mac Mini. I really don't want to put it in the drive if it won't come back out! Thought it better to ask first! Thanks!

No, DON'T put the mini dvd in your Mac's slot-loading drive. It won't work and it won't come out.
The mini dvds were intended for tray-loading drives.

CAN I USE MYApple Cinema Displays WITH MY MAC BOOK PRO

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.
