Can we play bluray disc in macbook pro

I am planning to buy a macbook pro. Can we play blue ray disc on the macbook. If no, is there any other mac model which plays bluray

Dear Mr. Srinivasan
1st-this forum is for Mac Pro (the big desktop Machine,not portable)-a common mistake.
2nd-no. due to licencing/technical issues and stubbornness on Apple's part, that's the answer. You can try with VLC or 3rd party software, plus an external Blu-Ray drive, but out of the box, no.
all the best to you

Can we play bluray disc on macbook pro 2011?

i am keen to know that can we play bluray movies on macbook pro??

No.
Different format... http://www.blu-ray.com/info/
"While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray."

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

Can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5

PLEASE help! I'm an old boomer and not too tech-savvy (know enough to get all messed up!).
I can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5, and it's driving me CRAZY. I'm trying to play files from this website: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/ (just select a song under the "Titles" link), using Safari and/or Firefox browser -- to no good end!
What can I buy or add on that will enable the playing of MIDI files??
Thank you!

I had heard that MIDI worked in Lion, but don't currently have it to test.
There's a somewhat involved way to get it working described here, or you may be able to download the files & play them locally.

Can you play blu ray on MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro and I am wondering if I can play Blu ray movies on my MacBook?

Of course you can...
I bought this off of amazon.com... Samsung SE-506BB. Took me a while to understand the difference between AB and BB, found that BB is the latest version with a few bugs resolved.
Get Macgo from http://www.macblurayplayer.com... Download the trail version... I have been playing Blurays using this...
enjoy
Thanks & Regards
Techno.
Forgot to add... Unlike OWC, Samsung doesnt need an external power supply... Good for carrying around...

How can I play sound from my MacBook Pro through my iMac?

I have a MacBook pro which I am looking to use for only iTunes or Spotify for the time being but the iMac built in speakers are better.
I am internet sharing from an ethernet on my iMac and the Macbook pro is connected to the shared network.
Can I play music from Spotify on my macbook pro but out of my iMac speakers?
Thanks
James

Can I play games on my MacBook Pro by using an external graphics card and using windows via a software called "Parallels Desktop" or do I have to use Boot Camp (I have both installed)

Can I use Windows Parallel to play games? I mean will it not get enough power? Like I clearly remember that I read some where one my system that the Paralels is getting only 1 GB of my ram. I have the mid 2012 MacBook Pro, the $1500 one.

You shouldn't use Parallels to pay games. If you want to play games you need to install Windows via Bootcamp so that it has access to all the resources available.

Can I play X plane on MacBook pro 13-inch: 2.5GHz?

Please answer me if I can play xplane on macbook pro, i would like to buy a laptop for a flight sim, can i download some good scenery ang good planes?

It won't plug both spots. To get 16 GB you will have to buy 2 sticks, one for each slot.
Apple only recommends and will suport 8 and recommends installing in pairs - so 2 slots of 4 GB each. You can always try the 2 slots of 8 and see if they will work. I would recommend ordering from crucial direct. They are one of the better memory companies around and have a website at crucial.com.
You shouldn't have any issues as the maximum non-Apple supported config is 16 GB.
Good luck.

Can't play streaming video on macbook pro

have been sent a video taken 4 days ago, but when I press on the 'play' icon the screen just goes blank !

Hi
Sorry to hear about that.
When you say "died" you mean there is no video output?
Does your Mac pass POST? (makes chime noise on boot), and does the Capslock key LED go green if you press it? If not, then you may have a power related issue, not video.
Also, what model do you have (year/processor/GPU)
Please try an SMC & PRAM reset.
Cheers

About Disc of Macbook Pro

1.How can i copy two disc of Macbook Pro, what i have when i bought the Macbook Pro, to HDD or another HDD.
2.If i lost those disc, how can i reinstall, format my macbook pro?
3.I have heard about Mac OS Lion will come in this July, and we can get it on Appstore. When i buy and download it, can i write or copy it do DVD and HDD to save them?
4.When i bought this Macbook Pro, Mac OS Snow Leopard is installed in my MacBook Pro, and it had ilife(iMovie, iWeb ....) If i buy Mac OS Lion, can i have ilife when i install it?

>1.How can i copy two disc of Macbook Pro, what i have when i bought the Macbook Pro, to HDD or another HDD.
I think you meant how do you copy one hard drive to another. You can do so with a variety of backup software*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
>2.If i lost those disc, how can i reinstall, format my macbook pro?
Boot off any clone hard drive you make with the backup software that I mentioned above, and you can use Disk Utility to format your hard drive. Note you'll want at least a second external clone or Time Machine drive before you do this. Because if there is a failure of one backup during your erase, you'll be left with only one copy of your data.
>3.I have heard about Mac OS Lion will come in this July, and we can get it on Appstore. When i buy and download it, can i write or copy it do DVD and HDD to save them?
Unknown. I see no technical reason why you can do this, but it may not be a bootable copy you make. Apple has said they will give you a restore partition in Lion on the specs here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/
Until it is released no one knows if there is any other capability, or if a DVD version of Lion might be available. This has already been asked at length on the board, with no answers until the release date.
>4.When i bought this Macbook Pro, Mac OS Snow Leopard is installed in my MacBook Pro, and it had ilife(iMovie, iWeb ....) If i buy Mac OS Lion, can i have ilife when i install it?
I can't imagine why not. The only reason might be some feature of Lion that iLife can't take advantage of necessitating an updated release of iLife. At this point Apple hasn't announced any.

Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.
