CD or DVD Sharing with new Mac Air on LION!

I was thinking that I would be able to put in audio CD I was going to be able to watch it.  If I put a cd I get the following error:  The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Audio CD" can't be found.
I also trie to play a DVD. With the DVD I am able to open the DVD and look into the files but it won't play the movie.
The Apple Genius stated that this is how the CD or DVD Sharing works.  It was not intended for you to you to play an audio cd from another computer or watch a DVD from another computer.
Do you guys agree with this?

Sorry it's not the answer you hoped for.

  • Upgrade new mac air to Lion

    how do i upgrade my OS to lion? its a new mac air, purchased yday. i am told i would be able to do it from apple website, free of charge.

    To see what OS your Macbook has open the Apple menu (the one shaped like an apple in the top left corner) and click on "About this Mac". The window that opens tells you what version of OS X you are running. Lion is version 10.7 (current revision is 10.7.2 but you may have a machine that has a slightly older version).
    As a bonus - to update Lion to the latest revision click on Software Update. Note that it is a pretty big download and you should ensure you have a current backup before applying these types of changes to a system.

  • Canon 40D not recognized, won't connect with my Mac Air running Lion 10.7.3

    I'm not sure what is wrong. I can't transfer picture or tether my camera to my laptop. When I connect the usb cable, camera says busy for few seconds then returns to normal. I installed latest EOS utility and DPP. 

    you may be able to see your pictures using the Image Capture (a program which is already installed on Mac, you will find it into Applications)

  • New help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd

    It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
    It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
    It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
    The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
    iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
    Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

  • I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

    I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
    With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
    With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

  • My iPod Nano will not sync with my brand new Mac Air...will charge

    My iPod nano (touch) will not sync with my iTunes on my brand new Macbook Air. It will charge my iPod and give the option to eject the iPod, but it will not recognize my iPod to sync. Any ideas why and how to fix it?

    Hey all, I had to call Apple Support to resolve the issue as nothing on the web provided an answer. So for all you out there having the same problem, here's the ituation and full resolution, so you can save time and money (if your product's warranty is expired).
    Situation: I bought a brand new Mac Air on 12/7/12 and tried to sync my 6th generation iPod nano (previously configured to a PC) with no sucess. ITunes was only allowing me to charge and eject the nano.
    Solution:
    1. Go to View>sidebar
    2. In the sidebar, click "iPod" under the Devicies category
    3. Click "Music" section next to "Summary" under the status bar
    4. Make sure "Sync" box is checked with your preferred preferences underneath
    5. Click "Sync" in bottom right corner of window
    Apparently, iTunes 11 is quite different and the sidebar with usual options and playlists does not appear unless selected in the "View" drop-down.
    FINISHED!

  • Migration From OS X Mavericks to New Mac Air that is set with 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. It is not working

    Bought a new Mac Air this week. Tried to Migrate my files, etc from my old Mac Air running OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Discovered after repated attempts, that the new Mac Air has 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. Could this be why it will not work?

    I would imagine so. I doubt the Migration Assistant is designed to go backwards.

    please help me out . i have a new mac air . when i conect my cable to usb socket wont work . it wont charge my i phone either . whats wrong

    I'm sure you've done everything like rebooting or testing other usb devices...have you tried to create a new user account and see if you get anything that way?, I would imagine you'd have to return the machine for an exchange at the Apple store.

    Mac OS 10.10.2 is installed and can open documents on my new Mac Air but an error message occurs when trying to attach a PDF to emails.  Apple was not able to fix.  Any thoughts?

    The message says:
    Please wait
    If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of your document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. 
    Then it goes on to suggest an Reader upgrade, which I already did.
