Do I neeed to download a ap to play DVD's on external player

I have a external CD- DVD, Windows 8.1 It will play CD's but not DVD's. Do I need to download a Ap?

Hi:
To keep the costs of its operating system down, Microsoft decided not to pay the owners of the DVD codecs for the rights to include them in W8 or W8.1 like they did in Windows 7.
If you do not have Cyberlink Power DVD software (and I'm thinking you don't or you would be able to play DVD's), you can probably install this version if your notebook is from HP.

    How do I add my new lap top to my family iTunes? I downloaded music, but cannot play it on my laptop

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.

    I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.

    Hi Refvoxa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not able to play or download a movie rental on your iPad, first restart your device:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    After your iPad restarts, try resuming the download again:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

    Hello, terrygav. 
    I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

  • How I download a Tv series from DVD to itunes?

    How I download a Tv series from DVD to itunes?

    Handbrake see http://handbrake.fr/ can convert such files to iTunes compatible format. However Handbrake by itself does not copy from protected commercial DVDs as doing so is illegal in many (but not all) countries.
    For dealing with DVD protection you are on your own as it is not allowed to be discussed here.

    I don't think you can actually download the install DVD. If you call Apple they can send you the install DVD for a nominal fee +S&H. You will need to provide them with the serial number for your Mac to see if it's registered to you.

  • I can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?

    i can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?

    What format is the external HDD in? If it's NTFS (= proprietary Windows), then OS X can read it but not write.
    Eventually copy all content from the drive to a safe place, the re-format. FAT32 is the format which both Windows and OS X can read and write.

    First, iOS 5.0.1 does not run on a MacBook Pro.  You should correct that on your profile.
