Cannot play DVD downloaded for "Climb Every Mountain" Why

I have downloaded "Climb Every Mountain" by Leslie Garrett but cannot get it to play on my or other peoples equipemt. What can i do

Did you buy the movie in iTunes? If so, iTunes will let you burn to a DVD, but only for backup purposes because of copyright laws. You cannot burn it to a DVD and then expect that DVD to work in a standalone DVD player. It will only work in a DVD player that is in a computer, where you can then access your movie backed up on the disc through iTunes which has to be installed on the computer, and then punch in your account information to authorize that computer to play your movie.
My two cents on the matter is that if you buy the movie, you should be able to do whatever you want with it outside redistributing it to another person in any way, but in the United States, copyright laws say you can't do that. This is why many people just go to the store and buy the physical DVD if they want to make a copy and expect it to work in a DVD player. I don't condone it because technically it is illegal, even though the copyright holders may not go after you for copyright infringement.
Hopefully this is the problem you're experiencing. If not, please let me know and I'll try to better answer your question.

U330 ATI cannot play DVD

For some reason, I cannot play a DVD in Window Media Player while using the ATI graphics. I get an error that says something like, "WMP cannot play DVD because the codec, graphics driver, digital copy protection, etc. are not compatible. You can try to update your graphics driver... blah blah blah" I updated to the latest ATI driver from their website, but I still get the same error.
I tried downloading another player, but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

You either have to install a DVD codec or you can use VLC player.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just had the same problem even though yours happened six months ago I couldnt figure out how to change /dev/dvd to /dev/sr0 in kaffeine so I did a quick workaround: I removed /dev/dvd and softlinked /dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd and now everything works perfectly. Oddly enough how you said yours didnt work in mplayer or kaffiene but did in vlc, mine didnt work at all in any of them!

2 questions, what do i do when a audio book i purchased is not in purchased menu for re downloading for my account, or why cant i re download the book from iTunes store with out paying for it after support they told me i could.

what do i do when a audio book i purchased is not in purchased menu for re downloading for my account, or why cant i re download the book from iTunes store with out paying for it after support they told me i could.
i tried to re download a purchased audio book after i contacted apple support team for iTunes they said it would be ready for re download or they said id have to re download it from iTunes store i cant remember, so i tried both couldn't re download it from purchased menu and the book id have to re download from iTunes store costs money as if i have never purchased what do i do? I don't have any warranty any more or money to purchase another warranty.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have bought 1 MacbookPor 17, 1 Macbook air, 1 MacbookPro 15 , 2 ipads, 3 iphones, and this iMac27 and 2 of iMAC24 or 20 not sure   but I do not recall ever doing what you are telling me in your reply.   When you get a extended car warranty, you don't   sign up for it.. it is just there and is included in the sale.   You don't buy this warranty to use it.. You buy it, in case something happens.   Here a perfect iMAC with minimum 100 hour useage has a dead drive. That is not normal and I should not have to even be requesting anything since most MFG offer a 3-5 year warranty on their disc drives and I believe that is probably passed on to Apple regardless if an extended warranty is purchased or not.   Customer service dictates a more flexible approach to make sure the lifetime value of a customer is not lost due to some misunderstanding.
I was in the MacStore that I purchased the unit..and they found and pulled the invoice and confirmed
the purchase of it in front of me. I had paid with credit card and fortunately it was there in their system.   I do not also recall recieving any box or paper although most everything I ever get remains sealed.. I am not in the habit of opening anything since I have never encountered any serious issues before.
   I have used my Macbookpro warranty 1 time and that is all throughout the years I have been investing in Apple equipment.
I just recieved a letter from the store asking me to get the paper to them so they can register it... I don't recall getting any paper actually. But I do have several boxes sealed here.. On this iMAC27, it was a hurry up and get it done thing and I don't remember taking anything extra with it.   Regardless, my request does not seem unreasonable.
Thank you

Cannot play DVD movies in Windows XP

Does anyone know of any driver that I have to download in order to play just regular old DVD movies with Boot Camp? The CD-ROM aspect of the drive works fine, as I play games all the time...but when I try to play a movie it says that it cannot....has anyone found a fix to this?

Lol well unfortunately it didn't, I installed it, popped a movie in, and this is the messege that i got:
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.
It was just a regular DVD movie bought from the store, not a burnt one or anything...I'm confused...

Mac Cannot Play DVDs Since Update to 10.8

OK, this may be a bit late but I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X 10.8 and all of a sudden my Mac rejects DVDs, It just spits them out saying it cannot play them.
I took this to the genius bar but they told me to go and restore my Mac over timemachine because they tried another boot disk of mountain lion and somehow it played the dvds but as a student, i cannot just randomly go and buy a 1TB drive and then my system config is very complex. they told me not to restore system preferences and this is all too much of a hassel, I still have Apple Care... if that helps and my mac is the latest 13" i7 750GB ivy bridge 2012 model.
Is there anything I can do to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Eric for the response. I have done everything detailed in those instructions before - I tried them again, but to no avail. I feel that this is a ML issue
I can scan using the Canon software - but I cannot scan from either, Preview or Image Capture apps. When trying to scan from either of these apps, I get "AN ERROR OCCURED WHILE COMMUNICATING WITH THE SCANNER" Then all I can do is just close the window. Checking the system console logs showed no errors except for 1 instance of:
6/17/13 2:32:47.821 PM Image Capture Extension[579]: [2] Failed to register for death of process with pid: 591
I have no other wireless issues and as I noted before, it worked perfectly with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Only after I "upgraded" to Mountain Lion 10.8.4, did these workflow productivity enhancements started showing up.
And yes, I clean installed 10.8.4 on a freshly formatted partition with no other software installed.

Cannot play DVDs when connected to TV

Hi guys,
I have a first generation Titanium PowerBook G4 (400MHz). Still using System 9.2.
Anyway, the DVD player works fine in the notebook by itself. When I connect to my Sony Wega through a S-video cable, I can see the desktop but the DVD player won't fire up. Keeps giving me an error message about thr video card not supporting the resolution or something like that (Sorry, I cannot be more precise. It happened late last night).
This is the first time I have tried to connect the Powerbook to a TV, so I don't know whether I am doing anything wrong. I tried playing around with the resolution, but that did not seem to solve the problem. Also any recommendations of what audio cord I should be using to connect to my audio inputs on the TV.
Thanks in advance.
Rajneesh

Rajneesh,
I have tried to use the Titanium Powerbook G4, running 9.1, to play DVDs on a TV. One of the posts said this may not be a good idea, so maybe you don't want to do this, but here is my experience.
I was using my mother's computer, and I don't have it with me, so I can't double-check that what I think worked was actually what did work, but I can tell you what I did and how far I got with it.
Like you, I was able to get the desktop on the TV. I could either mirror it (so the laptop and the TV had the same desktop) or use it the TV to extend the Mac desktop.
I got the message you mention when I fired up the DVD. I trried changing the resolution, and I thought I got it to
work that way, but later it seemed not to work. Then I got it working by turning off the mirroring. So when the two screens were separate, not mirrored, the DVD would play.
I wish I could tell you that it played on the TV, but it didn't. Because my mother was so impatient with me and the computer at this point, I gave up fiddling and we just watched the DVD. But I think that with a little more fiddling, I could have moved the DVD picture over to the TV (for example, maybe I could have just grabbed it and moved it to the TV).
Good luck to you,
Nancy

Cannot play DVDs

Just noticed that I cannot play any Movie DVDs - Warning Box: Disk Insertion - The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. Ignore Eject
I have looked at similar type threads but no luck. This is happening with any Movie DVD - Commercial and Burnt. Will mount Data DVDs but not Movies so cannot even play with other apps like VLC.
Have reloaded 10.4.6 combo updater - removed com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist from Library > Preferences. All Settings look OK to me.
I am using an iMac 2.1GHz Power PC G5 20". The inbuilt superdrive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K05
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi, Peter.
1. This problem seems to have affected a few folks, and solutions are thin on the ground. I've not seen the problem myself, so I decided to do some research. This Google search turned up two ideas:1.1. Do you have, or have you recently added, a Lexar JumpDrive Secure? This topic on another forum indicated that a drive associated with that Lexar device caused the DVD problem for several folks. While it's not clear from the topic if the affected users were running Tiger, several noted the JumpDrive Secure was the cause and removing its related software solved the problem.
If that's the case, then either check Lexar for updates or uninstall the Lexar driver using their instructions. See my "Uninstalling applications" FAQ for important advice on uninstalling software.
1.2. This Google cached item from a MacInTouch thread suggested resetting Open Firmware. See the item therein from 31 March 2006. I think this might be a better approach if the optical drive wasn't working with any media, but it may be worth a shot.2. If none of the above helps, let's see if Console can provide more clues: immediately after the problem occurs, check these Console logs for clues.
3. As FYI, the problem is being reported by diskarbitrationd, the daemon responsible for detecting and mounting disks. A recent version of the source code that contains the specific error message can be seen here, but it offers no particular clues as it just seems to handle the error message processing.
Good luck!

New MBP 17 - When playing DVDs/CDs rattles/vibrates every 10 seconds

Hi everyone. Love the new machine but wondering if this is really normal. While playing DVDs, about every 7-10 seconds there is a ridiculous rattling/vibrating sound, sort of like the noise a 12-year-old air conditioner makes when it's on and the glass and window frame are shaking every few seconds. This can't be right. I assume I need to take this back to the Apple store -- or should I mail it back myself via Apple repair?
Or are all the drives like this? I just can't imagine anyone being okay with a DVD soundling like a tire going over the warning treads every few seconds...
Thanks
John

Hey guys,
I notice there's a few topics going on for the 17 inch MBP now, so I thought I might help out. There is a topic here where some of us have been posting about the same problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2162948&tstart=45
I previously had this problem with my unibody under Mac OS X (with 5400rmp Hitachi HDD), and I found a post on the big 100 page thread with someone suggesting a utility called HDAPM which might help. I have found that this utility did indeed help on my 17 inch unibody, I haven't seen a single freeze since running it, the machine is smooth as could be. Others in this topic appear to have had similar success.
I posted some instructions here on how you can install HDAPM and set the necessary setting via terminal:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10283888#10283888
Maybe some of you guys should try it. One thing, this apparently may reduce your battery life slightly, but I haven't noticed anything too drastic.
For anyone who does try, let me know if it works for you.

My laptop is T420 (i7-2640M CPU 2.80GHz, RAM 4GB, 64 bit), and recently upgrade to Windows 8.1 Professional OS
