  • How can i play music from my external hard drive not purchased in itunes on my iphone

    I have all of my music backed up to an external hard drive and have copied it to my new laptop and linked it to my itunes. I can play all the music on itunes but cannot play it on my iphone. The music was mostly uploaded from cd's that are now lost. Help!!!

    thank you, I had done all that and I know seem to have sorted the problem by dragging the folder containing the music into the itunes music folder through the side bar.
    cheers

  • DVD drive has just stopped reading a DVD ( which it previously played OK ) G550

    Hello All, 
    I have a G550 bought 10 months ago.  It seemed to work ok but just in the last few days the DVD drive has malfunctioned. A DVD which it previously played now brings up the error message:
    Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card##
    By the way, this is a commercially purchased DVD   -Cagney and Lacey ! - from Amazon so there cannot be anything wrong with the disk as such ( plus, as I say, it used to play OK ).
    How can I get the DVD drive to work properly  ?  Might it need to be exchanged  / repaired ? 
    All suggestions gratefully received .......

    Sorry  - i don't know what you mean.
    I tried  checking in the list of all programs to see if there was any other software to read DVDs apart from Windows Media Player but I couldn't see any.
    But anyway, why should this error message start up  now - after the same laptop has played the same DVD several times already w/o problems.    Is that a pointer to a hardware or a software  problem ? 
    I bought the laptop from ASDA 10 months ago  - anyone know if they will replace / repair ?  [There is no email address on their website to contact them].

  • I activated home sharing but after syncing, the cd's Tunes which I had burned on my PC, did not share to my other devices but instead the cloud symbol has an error message next to each song not purchased through iTunes.

    I activated iTunes Match but the songs in my iTunes library that were not purchased through iTunes did not share to my other devices. instead there is a cloud with an exclaimation point nnext to eahc one and it says errror when you mouse over the cloud.  How do I get these songs to share on iTuens Match?

    Well, now I feel like a real dope. I restarted iTunes (can't believe I didn't do that before) and now the TV's see the share, and the iPhone see it too (I assume the iPad sees it but I have not checked yet).

    I have numerous music movie clips that I have not purchased through iTunes, Is it possible to stream these "home" movies using iTunes to apple TV?
    And if iTunes will not allow it, is there another complete program available that I can purchase to have my music movie clips stream to a TV and/or another computer?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks, Winston C, I've actually tried everything you suggested. I'm thinking now that the Home Sharing problem likely is related to Bonjour--I've seen several people mention this with similar (but not identical) problems. The solution that seems to work for some people is to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. Frankly, I don't want to go through the trouble given that the iOS 7 release is imminent.
    One thing that I haven't tried is resetting the ATV to factory settings. I'll give that whirl.
    Thanks for your advice!

    If you have AppleCare and/or iPod Nano is still under warranty, give them a call.  If not, take the computer to your local Apple Store or AASP.  The staff will tell you what is wrong w/it and let you know if it can be fixed after it is examined.

  • How to burn a slideshow to DVD for anyone to play. I burned a DVD and can play it on my mac, but will not open in windows

    Need to know how to burn a DVD that can be viewed by any DVD player.  I created a DVD from a slideshow created in iPhoto.  I can open it on my computer, but it will not open or even be recognized in my home DVD player.  I asked a friend to try it on a Windows computer and he could not open it.  What's the key to creating things for friends & family that do not have Mac anything?

  • DVD Movies won't play after 10.4.10 / DVD Player 4.6.1 Updates...

    CDs will boot fine, blank DVDs will mount fine, but when I insert a DVD movie; the drive won't mount and the DVD player will not play my discs. I currently have a Pioneer DVR-109 installed in my PowerPC G5. Any information or help please.

    SOME GOOD NEWS!
    IT DEFINITELY IS A TIGER ISSUE... here's a little workaround... although in a tricky way, i got my commercial dvd's to finally play. do the following and let me know if it will work for you as well.
    -insert a movie dvd (commercial)
    -when told that the disc is not readable and prompted to eject or ignore hit ignore
    -you will not see the disc mount on your desktop
    -open vlc and hit play. choose "disc" for destination and hit okay (don't try with apple's dvd player, IT WILL NOT WORK)
    -you will now see the movie title in your playlist, select it and play it... it works!!
    good luck and until we find a permanent fix we can still watch movies on our macs! BTW, i used vlc 0.8.6c for this test on 10.4.10. incase you're not familiar with vlc, it's a free video player and you can download it from number of places on the internet.

  • New DVD Drive not recognized by Itunes? Error 2550

    Hey all,
    So i go to burn a cd and i get the Disk Burner or Software not found error message. I start doing a little research and I find out that maybe my new optical drive I just bought isn't supported and it tells me to check this i need to go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced in the Itunes window and if my DVD drive is not supported it won't have anything in the DVD section of that. Well there is a DVD drive listed but its my old one, anyone know if I can somehow force itunes to recognize that i have a new Drive? I mean its a new sony drive, i imagine it should be supported.

    Hi sisujoel,

  • Can not stream an iTunes Festival Show to my ATV2

    I try to play a stream from itunes Festival on my MacBook Pro, connected to my ATV2 via AirPlay. Only the first frame is shown on my TV, and the spinning wheel is spinning forever. Setting the output to Computer, the stream plays perfectly.
    Playing a movie that is stored as a file in iTunes can be streamed alright.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are reffering to one of the 'Stream the show' limited freebies, yes they work via Airplay.
    i'm guessing here that there are two devices both waiting for a stream, which may be a little more work for a network than either streaming just to your mac or streaming a file in your itunes library to your Apple TV. have you done anything to optimise your network (checked/eliminated interference etc)
