Can't load application dvd

I reformatted my 13" macbook pro I got October 2009. The os installed perfectly but the application dvd will not even read. I tried the dvd in my mac mini and it loaded just fine. The DVD will not even load to view any of the files. Is there a test I can do to check the drive or something. I am a recent convert to mac and already have two computers. I need the imovie on the laptop. For what it is worth I also tried the mac mini disk in the laptop and got the same result. All disks work fine in the mac mini.

1) Make sure the DVD is scrupulously clean. the drives in "notebook"macs can be more sensitive to such things that those in other computers.
2) Run a cleaning disc in your MBP or take it to Apple for assessment of the drive. Dirty drives account for a vast proportion of DVD reading and writing problems. A cleaning disc will probably fix it, but Apple will usually simply replace any drive that doesn't do the job while under warranty.

Can't load photo dvd

Hi--having trouble with the DVDs of my daughter's wedding. I can't get my new MacBook Pro to recognize the DVD as having any content. When I load one, it spins for a few minutes and then just comes back out. I can still load on my old MacBook Pro (running Snow Leopard) and my old PC. I'm wondering in there's something wrong with my disk drive or if there's something about Mountain Lion that won't read the disk. They are just jpgs. There's no software on the DVDs--just the photo files. My DVD drive works fine playing DVD movies.
Thanks!

Sounds like the optical drive. Have you tried other DVD's?

OS X Won't Boot, Can't Load Install DVD

For the last couple of days my mac has been really buggy, hanging, slow boot speed etc.
Until finally yesterday it simply failed to load into OS X.
So I tried the trusted unplug it for a few minutes, I zapped the PRAM, I tried safe mode, I did a hardware test on startup and that was fine. I've tried booting into the install DVD using 'C' and by using Options and selecting it on boot up menu. Sometimes it has limped into the OS where I removed everything in startup, repaired permissions and tried to verify the hard disk, where it said there was an error. I tried to get the install dvd to restart the computer and get into Time Machine but that just hangs, any ideas? I have a fairly recent backup, does Time Machine backup ALL my stuff? Music, Mail personal documents etc?
Cheers

If Disk Utility has told you there are problems with the drive, you must repair them. You didn't mention trying that, you just said you tried to use Time Machine while booted from the install disk. Try booting from the install disk, running Disk Utility from there and clicking the Repair Disk button.
If the disk can't be repaired, you can try a more powerful utility, like [DiskWarrior|http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html] or [TechTool Pro|http://www.micromat.com>. If those don't work, you'll have to just erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch (or restore from a backup).
Note that, even if you repair the problems, files have probably already become corrupt, thus causing the problems you've been experiencing. You may end up having to reinstall anyway, even if repairs are successful, and it would be wise to be cautious with backups, as corruption could have crept into them.

Can't load application...

Hi, all...I have currently two systems available, but neither one will allow me to load Motion 2. Once I load the disk, it tells me the video hardware will not support the application, and it can't be loaded.
Both systems are G4's. I have a 14" iBook with a 1.33Mhz processor and 32MB ATY video card. The desktop is a 733Mhz with the same video support.
According to the specs on the software, both systems are adequate for Motion 2...what gives?
Thanks...

Please press the or buttons over the posts that warrant it...

Can I load applications to an external hard drive for use on a new Air?

Hi, so I have moved my itunes and iphotos to an external disk to free up space. I have a few games that I rarely use that I'd like to migrate to the external hard drive too, leaving just the tools I need to work on the air.
1. Can I run games from the external hard drive?
2. How do I migrate the games to the external drive? I assume drag and drop wont cut it?
Thanks

Hi
It was a streamed game - call of duty modern warfare - and seems to have loaded just fine from a drag and drop.
Appreciate everyone's help.
Thx.

Can't load Leopard DVD from G4 optical drive

I worked with a tech person today to try to load Leopard from optical drive on my G4 Powerbook. It doesn't recognize DVDs, but does recognize CDs. I was told to I could get an external DVD player which I did, but the one the Apple Store sold me -- the MacBook Air SuperDrive does not run on the PowerBook G4. I need to be able to load Leopard ASAP. Any suggestions?

I don't know what the salesperson at the store was thinking. The MBA SuperDrive doesn't work with anything but the MBA, unless you dismantle it (voiding the warranty) and perform a hardware modification which will not be described here. And because it's a USB device, it couldn't boot a Powerbook at all, even if it could be used with one after booting. So someone at the Apple Store needs to be enrolled in a reeducation program ASAP.

If i buy a dvd from the a retail store can i load it into iTunes tv shows

can i load a dvd into itunes

No. For one, iTunes does not play DVDs directly, you'd have to convert it. Most commercial DVDs are encoded with copy protection and it is illegal to circumvent this in the USA and some other countries (thank the big media company lobbies for getting this law passed). You cannot legally get access to the files to convert them to something iTunes can use.

How can i load a 8cm dvd into my drive ??

Hi
I am i being a little thick .... I have a sony handycam and it has 8cm dvd that i record onto.
How can i load these dvd's into my macbook pro, notebook ??
Please help
Many thanks
Michelle

You can't. The MBP's slot-loading optical drive doesn't support nonstandard-sized discs at all.
If the camcorder has a USB or FireWire output, you may be able to use that to transfer videos from it to the computer. Alternatives include buying a tray-loading external optical drive that can handle the oddball discs, or transferring the videos to a computer that has an internal tray-loader, then transferring them to the Mac from the other computer wirelessly, via a USB flash drive or external hard drive, or via a burned standard-sized disc.

Problem now resolved as I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6. Seems App Store doesn't like anything previous to 10.6.

"Error occurred while packaging the application... Can't load library" in Flash Builder 4.7 (iOS)

Been struggling to resolve this error since yesterday in Flash Builder 4.7 packaging an app for iOS.
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK\lib\aot\lib\llvm.dll

Update:
My previous proposed solution (of installing the 64-bit JRE) resulted in a different problem. After multiple attempts and restarts I was unable to work in the Flash Builder IDE as it became unresponsive on load. Each time I had to use Task Manager to close the application.
Apparent Solution:
Close all applications running in Windows
Uninstall all versions of JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
Uninstall Flash Builder 4.7
Reinstall Flash Builder 4.7

I can't load new application on my version 4.1

i can't load new application on my version 4.1

With the particular iPhone? You can use the built-in apps, or find apps in the App Store that will still run on iOS 4.
You can also can use Safari to visit the YouTube and Facebook websites.
Otherwise, you'll need to get a newer iPhone.

Can we load a J2ME application on SIM Card?

Hi All,
Can we load a J2ME application on SIM Card? I have seen SIM Manager Softwares but they only give phone book and pin code related functionality. Kindly tell me if there is any such software which can load an application on SIM ?
Thanks,
Muhammad Bilal Awan,
Sr. Software Engineer.

Hi,
Usually SIM cards are from 16K - 64K in size but with the invent of Flash memory SIM cards have now capacity of upto 512MB i.e. half a gig.
These SIM card providers provide softwares which can load J2ME applications on SIM.
