DirecTv DVR content to Macbook Pro?

I would like to be able to take the shows I record to my DVR, and put them onto my computer. Please let me know the best way to do this.
(I purchased a Western Digital MyDVR expander, so that my shows could be on an external hard drive and then take them from there to my computer but my computer does not even recognize the hard drive when its plugged in)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Their DVR content is only available for Windows.

and no I do not know which one will work.

Original Zeppelin - I've had this for several years.

Zeppelin Mini.

Zeppelin with Airplay.

(I wouldn't regard the MM-1 as a Zeppelin but not sure if B&W call it that).
I can't do much more to convince you!
You could always update that wiki

How to stream content from Macbook Pro to Samsung SmartTV

How can I view photos from iPhoto on my Macbook Pro on my Samsung SmartTV? Samsung offers software only for PCs.

If you have satellite/cable TV and your box has an ethernet port and you have a DVR it's also possible to stream content from your Mac to a tv.

How do i transfer external hard drive content to macbook pro?

How do i transfer external hard drive content back to my macbook pro?
I do not see the hard drive icon or a back up icon, where should it be?

What kind of drive is it - a large drive with a power cord, or a portable drive? Can you tell if the drive itself is actually on? (Is there a light, or a power switch, etc, can you hear it?)
How is it attached to the Mac?
On your Mac, click on the desktop, then go to the Finder menu (top left), click Preferences, then under the General tab, make sure that everything is ticked.
If that works, you should then get the external HD icon appearing on your desktop.
Hope that helps.

Part content of macbook pro

I want to know what the US part content is of a MacBook Pro.
Specifically, I want to know where each part is made and where it is assembled. If nothing else, I want to know what parts are made in the USA.
Thanks in advance!

Consumer Reports keeps track of the US content of automobiles; they may have something on computers. Worth contacting them.
I am not aware of any name-brand laptops made in USA. There may be some "assembled" here but I am willing to bet all the components come from offshore. If you want 100 percent American content in a portable computer, you may need to build an abacus!
As an aside, the last Consumer Reports listing of the US content of cars--parts and labor--the high score was 91 percent. Wanna guess what vehicle? A Toyota Sienna mini-van! Made in Kentucky! Some of those big GMC trucks tough guys like to drive had zero US content.

Viewing 1080p content on Macbook pro

Is it possible to hook up Sony Playstation 3 to Macbook Pro to watch blue ray discs on the Macbook? If not, is there a way to view HD movies on Macbook Pro without blue ray player, or can you buy a blueray drive thats installs on the Macbook Pro? Also if I'm running windows will Netflix streaming video work with Mac. Doesn't work with Leopard....thanks, nobody could answer the playstation 3 question. Just wanna watch 1080p.

I don't think there is a practical way to do this. First of all, you will not be able to watch 1080p content at full size on the Macbook Pro's display since it won't fit without being scaled down. Second, there is no direct video input on the Macbook Pro. Lastly, there is no software that I know of for commercial Blu-Ray disc playback on Mac OS X, so even if you did spend the hundreds of dollars for a Blue Ray drive, you'd only be able to read/burn data or non-DRMd video (which basically excludes all commercially available movies). Don't know the answer to the Netflix question.
If all you want to do is watch HD movies, might I suggest an HD TV?

Creating iTunes U content on MacBook Pro?

Is there a way I can create iTunes U course content on my MacBook Pro for my students to access on their iPads/iPhones, etc? I chose to purchase a MacBook Pro over an iPad as it is easier to create content/resources, but finding it more and more difficult to be able to do this. I don't understand why the MacBook and the iPad operating platforms are taking such a divergent path. Surely it should be more interconnected?

Hi steve.davis0001,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will explain how to create course content on the web with your Macbook Pro using iTunes U Course Manager:

Sending content from Macbook Pro to Apple TV

Have had Apple TV for a year, and am still don't know how to send movies from the laptop (Mavericks) to Apple TV. Have turned on Home Sharing, but what then?
Is a cable necessary? A good wireless (Verizon) network is available.
If someone could post a step-by-step procedure I'd be very grateful.

home sharing is the appletv being able to access supported media in a shared itunes lib on your computer it works pretty much the same way as other computers on the same network as you can access media from your itunes lib if you set it as shared
iTunes: How to share music and video
airplay mean sending media such as audio and video to be displayed on the appletv as in pretty much the opposite as shared lib
not all macs support airplay mirror which include video read more

How do I transfer content from DVR to Macbook Pro via Firewire?

I need help. I want to transfer my recorded shows off of my Comcast Motorolo DVR to my Macbook Pro, Version 10.9.1. I've done some youtube searches and the ones that I find say I need AVCVideocapand that I can get it from downloading Firewire SDK 2.6. So I downloaded firewire SDK 2.6 and when I try to open it I get an error saying it can't be open because it's from an unknow developer. So then I downloaded the lastest XCode software but still no AVCVideocap. I have the 9 pin plug of firewire plugged into the back of my DVR and the othere end of firewire, 6pin, connected to my Mac. Should I be seeing anything on my desktop, like new device or something? Please help. Thanks in advance, Joey

To run the installer, press the Control key and click the installer, and choose Open.
A different way would be to open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, press the padlock at the bottom left corner of the System Preferences window, and select "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from". Finally, run the installer.

Getting video from DVR to MacBook Pro

How do I get video from a DVR (Dish Network 625) to my MacBook Pro?

On my Sony DVDR/Set top box (RDR-HXD760) I have to
copy the movie from the hard drive to a disc, then
transfer the disc to the MacBook Pro and copy it from
there. I've not found a way to mount the internal
drive directly.
Thanks very much. This helps a little. I'd still like to know if there's a way to make a direct feed from this DVR to the MacBook Pro.

Download DVR files to my MacBook Pro?

We're getting ready to cut the Comcast Cable TV cord and save ourselves about $100 a month. My question is this: We've got a few shows recorded on two DVRs that I'd love to somehow save. Is it possible to download those from the DVRs to my MacBook Pro so we can still watch them after getting rid of our cable tv service and the DVRs?
It's badged Comcast and Motorola, DCX3400.

I suspect that stuff on your Comcast DVR is encrypted, thus you won't be able to off load it. I know there are ways to use your Mac as a DVR, but I'm not aware of anyway to get stuff that has already been recorded on a Comcast DVR off of the DVR.

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,
Dan_nz.

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
