Disc Plays in Home Player but not in My Macbook Pro?

I just burned a disk and it played fine in my 7-yr old home player, though when I put it in my 1-yr old Macbook Pro, the mac thought it was a blank disk and asked me if I wanted to open it. After mounting it, I double-clicked on it and it does not show that there are any files on it.
I tried it on a Windows laptop and it worked on that.
Why does it not work or even be recognized as having anything on it on the mac?
Thanks.

I found the solution for my issue in a similar post:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/21055428#21055428.  The recommendation worked for me and the App Store is no longer showing an available update for UbikReader.  Thanks to seventy one for the recommendation/fix!

    To gain Internet access for the MacBook Pro, you will either need your own Internet service provided by an ISP or access to another Wi-Fi network that has Internet service.
    Your MBP has a built-in wireless adapter, called an AirPort Extreme Card. This adapter is able to connect to just about any Wi-Fi network available today.
    If you opt to get your own Internet service, most ISPs will provide you as a minimum an Internet modem. Some also offer a wireless version of this device. For those that do not, you will also need an Internet router (wired or combination wired/wireless) in order for your MBP's wireless to connect.

  • Why will DVD play on one player but not another??

    Hi,
    I made an ISO file using devede and then burnt it to a DVD using K3B.  The finished DVD will work on a Magnavox player but not a JVC.  Is there anything I can do about this???  Do some players have a "must be produced commercially" filter or something???

    First, I am assuming you recorded your iso on +R type media.  Next, I'm guessing that the player that won't play your DVD is the older of the two players.  Some DVD players, especially older ones don't like +R media.  If this is the case, here is a possible fix.
    Here is a thread on another forum which discuses changing the booktype on your DVD burner.  Here is a quote from the original post:
    There have been many questions asked about how to booktype +R media to DVD-ROM
    Many standalone Players, HDD recorders/players and games consoles don't like +R media but they are happy enough to play -R or DVD-ROM.
    Some drive brands have tools to change this option but others don't. I have found that the easiest way to change your BOOKTYPE setting is to use a small burning tool called IMGBurn which can be found doing a Google search.
    Below you can see some screen shots which guide you through changing your BOOKTYPE setting. For this I have used my NEC4551 but IMGBurn supports NU-Tech, Plextor, Ricoh, Samsung, BenQ, LG, Lite-on and NEC.
    Once you have changed your BOOKTYPE setting, when you burn a +R/+RW disc it will be burned as a DVD-ROM which is the same as a bought movie and most players are happy to play these.
    Since my DVD players are happy with +R media, I haven't tried this.  Both of my players are fairly new, and I made sure that +R was listed on the box as one of the formats accepted by that player.
    As usual, try this at your own risk.

  • My calendar appears on my iPhone and my iPad, but not on my Macbook Pro.

    My calendar synchs with my iPhone and iPad, but not with my Macbood Pro. Any suggestions?
    John Willetts

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Disc playing fine on DVD, but not MacBook Pro

    Hello - I have authored and burned discs, and they all play fine on my DVD player on my TV set, but are not playing on my MacBook Pro. I put the disc in after Disk Utility shows it's been burned successfully, and after a few 'tries', it pops out, never even mounting on the computer. Might there be a 'fix' for this? Thanks so much...

    I would start to troubleshoot by trying a commercial (rented or purchased) DVD and make sure it's not the drive itself. It would be strange for a DVD to work in a set top box but not your computer, it's usually the other way around.
    And did you really mean to post this in the Final Cut forum?

  • I burned home movie in idvd on 2010 iMac and plays fine there but not on 2008 macbook pro. someone mentioned vlc and codex needs?

    I created a movie in imovie and burned it to -R disk on my 2010 imac. It plays well there. But when I tried to play it in my 2008 macbook pro it would not play. what I got was two folder icons that said audio and visual and when i clicked on those it brought up several lines I couldn't understand. I did get the audio but not the video.
    Apple said the Pro was beyond applecare which I knew but I thought it was iLife issue. They said it was not---that it was a Pro issue. I heard something about needing download of VLC and something about a codex. Not having much of an idea of what I was doing I downloaded a VLC thing and the disk played audio and video. Once. Today it will not play. So that is where I am stuck. Can anyone help please?

    Hi
    Does the DVD play on a standard DVD-player ?
    If so - then the Pro doesn't need anything. Most probably the problem is due to
    • Cheap brand of DVD used - Memorex and NoName known problem makers - I use Verbatim (only)
    • Burn Speed not set down - I do to x2 - and to select BEST is not a good choice at all as this will be same as Highest = Lot's of burn errors
    If DVD plays OK on the other Mac - make a Copy BY USING Disk Util tool and do not forget to set down the Burn Speed !

  • WD My Passport drive works on old usb2 Macbook, but not on usb3 Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late 2013

    I have a 1TB WD My Passport drive that will not mount in finder or even appear in Disk Utilities in OSX Mavericks 10.9.1. It does however appear in System Report under the USB heading as My Passport 0748, but shows 480mb/sec speed rather than USB3 speed.
    It works on my old Macbook pro, which is a USB2 machine, perfectly well.
    Has anyone found a workaround to this? I have looked high and low for a solution but none has nailed it. Could it be a problem specifically with the USB 3 driver in OSX? Or maybe even the drive itself?
    Kind Regards
    Phil

    Here is my post on another Forum. My problem with the UI is now solved :
    hi there,
    same problem here. i had a mba 13" 2012 and wanted to switch to rmbp 13 because i need more real estate.
    i sold the mba on ebay, but had a few days to compare my rmbp and mba side by side. both with exactly the same software configuration and OS Mavericks.
    the mba was obviously snappier and i didn't know why.
    after reading tons of threads, exchanging the rmbp one time and being frustrated i discovered this thread.
    so i downloaded RDM, set the resolution to 1680x1050 (non-high-dpi!!!) and there it is, a snappy rmbp with mavericks.
    (for me real estate is more import than a shiny retina thinggy, but also i don't see a bit difference between 1680 hiDPI and 1680 "normal")
    i suspect the os isn't yet optimized, but i am far away from a software expert.
    here is the link for RDM:

  • Old  Macbook connects to corporate ethernet --- but not my new Macbook Pro

    I've now tried nearly everything to solve this problem: My old white plastic Macbook connects to the corporate LAN --- but not my new mid-2009 Macbook Pro.
    All the settings are the same. I have on occasion managed to connect the new Macbook Pro to the network but only for a short time.
    Our IT folks have checked the cable, the ports,routers etc and everything is just fine.
    I am able to connect to the network from other ports in the office --- but not from my office (except with the old white plastic Macbook).
    Please, can someone help?

    If you can connect when using other ports in your office the problem is almost a certainty that the issue is with the port you can't connect with. Did your IT guy switch ports at the switch side to one that is known to work? We can't troubleshoot your LAN and it sounds like your computer is set up correctly if it connects using other ports.

  • I can pair but not connect my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 5cs

    I have a mid-2005 MacBook Pro running Yosemite OS. I can pair my iPhone but cannot sustain a connection with it for more than a second or two.

    How are you trying to connect?

  • My Kingston usb is showing on desktop but not running in macbook pro with retina display...

    showing message : kingston is not spourting os x

    Its possible to replace it yes.   Its not easy, as you have to dissasemble the MacBook to get to it.
    The drive you want is not compatible.  The drive in current 2014 MacBoock Pro´s is not even a Sata type drive.  Its a PCie Blade type drive.

  • WD Scorpio Black 750 GB works in my 08 Macbook but not my 09 Macbook Pro?, WD Scorpio Black 750 GB works in my 08 Macbook but not my 09 Macbook Pro?

    Anyone know why the drive mentioned works fine but a little loud in my Macbook aluminum 13" but when I put in my Macbook Pro 15" I boot to the Apple logo and the spinning wheel spins for 10-15 minutes or more before I give up.  I have re and re'd them twice with the same result.  The 250 GB Hitachi drive that was in the MBP works in either one, it has snow leopard and the 750 has Lion on it, but I don't think that should matter?
    I tried resseting the Pram and couldn't think of any thing else to do.
    Thanks
    R.

    I don't think that should matter?
    It depends on where the software came from.
    If you had Snow Leopard installed and upgraded to Lion, the claim Apple makes is that you will then have a "Everybody" Lion, good for any Mac that can run Lion.
    If you have a Mac that shipped with Lion, you have a "Custom" Lion, good only for that model of computers.
    Does that help at all?

  • Netflix plays smoothly on my iPod but not on my MacBook Pro

    I know it's not a internet connection problem because whenever I play netflix on my iPod it plays continuously and it never buffers but once I use my MacBook to watch something it takes forever to load!
    I need help!

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8: this is not compatible with iCloud and the Preference Pane for iCloud does not appear. the minimum requirement is Lion 10.7.2.
    You can access email on an existing iCloud account by setting Mail up manually:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation with Snow Leopard and iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    Although it's not a cheap solution, Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.(I have no connection with this firm.)
    For full access to iCloud's facilities you will need (if possible) to upgrade your Mac.

    You click on it. 
    Which os version are you using?  Which browser & version are you using?  If you are using Safari, post in its forum area.  A 3rd party browser, post in their forums. 
    Have you contacted the bank webmaster or tech support to determine that the issue is not on their end?
