Can't play CDs burn from PC

Hello I got some CDs from my friends who use Microsoft. I can't play those CDs in my "white Macbook".
What should I do to play those CDs?

I assume the problem occurs in Music Player, in which case you need to refresh the music library - I think the key sequence is something like:
Options .. Music Library .. Options .. Refresh Music Library
The music library doesn't refresh automatically - which is just as well as it would make opening the Music Player REALLY slow.

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

    Why i can't play my music from my iPad on the same apple ID on my macbook pro? it say's iam gonna accept my computer and where am i gonna do that

    Possibly nobody has answered this in 10 hours because your question is not clear.  Accept?  What exactly are you trying to do?
    Do you mean authorize?

  • I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

    I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
    When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
    I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
    I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
    Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

  • HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
    Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
    For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

  • Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?

    Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?
    Chris

    Yes, AUX in jack.  Radio shack may be required to make sure your connectors are compatible.  For example, you may need a standard RCA splitter to mini-RCA.  The mini-RCA (3.5mm) is for the airport express while the dual (red-black) for your AUX in.  Hard to say without seeing the connectors.
    Itunes on Mac sends music to airport express (you select it in iTunes), the airport express sends the music out via the mini-RCA, your CD player auxillary input converts the RCA signal to sound.

  • I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere

    I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere - won't play in FCP 7, Quicktime. Not sure what updates they were specifically since i hit the "update All" button without going over each one. Please help!! operating on 10.6.8 with FCP7

    Just take a look at the last few days posts here and you'll see many people with the same problem and some possible solutions.
    But you should never do any software updates unless you have a bootable backup of your startup drive.  FCP7 is no longer being supported by apple and updating anything is fraught with dangers.

  • Can i play music directly from time capsule?

    can I play music accessed from time capsule so that I don't have to use up room on my computer?

    If you want to move your itunes library to the TC we recommend you don't.. the TC is designed as a backup target for Time Machine.. it might appear vaguely like a NAS but it has zero ability to backup files.. and fails with surprising frequency. and is slow.. and what happens when you corrupt your itunes library.
    If you just want to put individual files and play from there.. well neither is it a media player. Basically TC fails at anything and everything except being a TM backup target.

  • Suddenly I can,t play certain songs from my itune libary as they are connected to my old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . how do i get you to link the 2

    Suddenly  i can,t play certain songs from my libary as they are connected to an old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . How do i merge them together ?

    I had this problem yesterday (or a very similar problem). When you click on your purchased song, an old email address (Apple Account ID) pops up and asks for an old password to authorize permission. It is very stubborn and does not really co-operate when using the usual remedies (forgot password - send me an email - what is your birthday, etc). I fumbled around and eventually got it all straightened out. I can tell you what I did - I cannot tell you what exactly worked. Access your current Apple Itunes account. Deauthorize all computers (up to 4 or 5 in total, I forget...) that can play your purchased music. Update your password. Close your account and Itunes. Open Itunes and try your new password. Now try the "old" music that would not play before - your "old" email/Account ID should still pop-up asking for a password. Delete the old email/ID and put in your current one. Then use your new password to activate. This should solve the problem of old ID / old Password / no permission. My apologies for the imprecise method, again I am not sure exactly WHAT worked here - all I know is that the Itunes Help sections and tutorials were good - but of no use in this case.
    Cheers

  • IDVD CAN  I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV ?

    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP
    CAN I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV BY CONNECTING IT SOME HOW ?

    Hi
    Does Your Mac have a S-video out ? Some does.
    The way to connect isn't easy or straight forward - I use a S-VHS VCR in between
    and now one can buy a DVD-player for less than $75-50 I wonder if it's really
    worth the hazzle.
    Playback from iMovie via FireWire and an Analog/Digital box to TV is one way
    but then the DVD has to be converted to streamingDV.
    iDVD can't deliver out to FireWire
    DVD-player not so either
    And PLEASE ! Don't shout (using capital letters = Shouting on e-media)
    Yours Bengt W

  • I can't play CDs

    I can't play audio CDs on my computer. I insert a CD and it spins for awhile and then automatically ejects. It never appears on my desktop.
    My computer plays DVDs with no problem and it reads and burns blank CDs, it just won't play music CDs.
    Anyone have any ideas what is wrong with it?

    k.towel, welcome to macbook forum.
    Is your music cd surface scratched, for macbook optical is a bit picky on surface quality, and does that happen on all CD (commercial and burned one)?
    Try to burn an audio cd from iTunes and soon as it done burn it, see if that cd mounted and playable on your macbook. If it does, then your other cd might have bad surface.
    If that become annoying, bring all you your cd that macbook refused to play it along with your macbook and visit apple store and show your problem to their apple guy and try all your cd with their demo unit.
    Good Luck.
