Does the imac support blu ray playback

????

The iMac along with other Mac do not support bluray playback....THAT BEING SAID,
You can play Bluray on the mac using an external bluray player and a piece of software known as Mac Blu-Ray Player.
I have it running on my MacBook Pro. I also do Blu-ray Authoring so I have a 12x BluRay drive in a OWC case.

  • Does the MBP support Blu-ray?

    Didn't want to ruin my MBP by inserting a Blu-ray movie in it, so I thought I'd ask here first. I use my PS3 for gaming/Blu-rays (which I ♥) but would be nice to take some of my movies on the go with me. Thanks.

    The Apple drive won't play or burn Blu-ray, if required an external drive and Roxio Toast will work.

  • Does the iMac support a USB-5.1 sound card?

    I have a new Intel iMac connected though USB to a "Sound Blaster Live 24 bit" sound card connected via mini-jacks to a logitech 5400, but I am not getting 5.1.
    In the Audio MIDI pref pane, I can only select "multichannel," not "5.1".
    Is there any way to fix this? If not, I need an optical to mini jack... any idea if there is such a thing?
    Matthew

    Hi Matthew,
    I don't know about the SBlive 24bit device.
    However, the Intel iMac's all have built in 5.1 optical output from the normal headphone jack (it is optical and electrical). There exist TOSLink to 3.5mm optical cables, and some can even be converted to either.
    There are also some optical to coax SPDIF converters available if your speakers only take SPDIF coax and not SPDIF optical.

  • Does Yosemite support Blu-Ray disc and 4K playback on the iMac with a 4K player?

    If I plug a Blu-Ray or 4K player into an iMac, will Yosemite support playback?  What additional software is needed and available?

    It's hard to say considering Apple hasn't supported Blu-ray yet and the downloaded Blu-ray resources are really not what we exactly want. The most directly way is to install Mac Blu-ray player and Blu-ray drive. Macgo is the best now to support 4K Blu-ray and Yosemite.

    You could connect a FireWire Blu-Ray drive and use non-Apple player software.

  • IMac with Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive. When?

    Is there any info about when iMacs with Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive will be available?

    Apple sits officially in the Blu-Ray camp so HD-DVD is less likely. 
    A slot-loading drive exists but only Apple know when and if they choose to use it in the iMac.
    At this time even the Mac Pro doesn't have it as an option (unless you install yourself for $700, although that does inc Toast Ti).

  • James Bond movies the same as the 50th Anniversary Blu-Ray edition?

    Are the James Bond movies currently in the (Dutch) iTunes Store, the same as the 50th Anniversary Blu-Ray edition (except from the HD 720p vs 1080)?
    http://www.007.com/bond-50-on-blu-ray/

    Blu-Ray has better image quality.  Apple TV only supports content up to 8Mbps for 1080p whereas Blu-Ray can go as high as 40Mbps.
    What this means in a nutshell is that the content in iTunes is more compressed, which will have an impact with picture quality.  I won't even go in to talking about sound. 
    At the end of the day I guess it really depends on your setup and what you're looking to get out of it.  I've seen the newer content in iTunes (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) and it looks really good.  I've also downloaded Gladiator (1080p) and it looks mediocre at best.

  • Do mac mini 2014 support blue ray

    I have a Super slim usb2.0 slot-in dvdrw. the seller tell that it support blue ray but I can not see it in my mac mini.Can somebody help?

    What is the exact model number an manufacturer of the drive?
    If the drive itself is functional, a Bluray disk should at least mount
    and be visible in the finder.
    Of course, as IIIaass has pointed out, you will need to purchase
    player software to view the movies.  In addition, when it comes to
    playing BluRay movies, some USB 2 drives work and others don't
    depending on the software.

  • I have a iMac with a built in airport extreme card.  Does the imac act as a wireless router so that I can connect to the internet from my iPad by tethering through my iMac?

    I have a iMac with a built in airport extreme card.  Does the imac act as a wireless router so that I can connect to the internet from my iPad by tethering through my iMac?

    Depends which iMac exactly and your network setup, you can go into System Preferences and under the Sharing pane you can enable internet sharing from ethernet (or whereever you get your internet from) to Wi-Fi.

  • Does the iphone support the use of a wildcard certificate?

    Does the iphone support the use of a wildcard certificate?
    Our exchange infrastructure utilises a wildcard (*.companyname certificate) from Godaddy.
    - Connects fine and authenticates
    - Can manually sync and pull emails
    - Can Send and Delete emails
    However server is not establishing the activesync connection and ping so mail can be pushed to the device.
    My guess is its a problem with the wildcard certificate that is used, WM5.0 devices didnt work with it, does anyone one know if the iPhone supports this?
    - I can get to OWA fine which uses the same wildcard cert.
    - WM6.0 devices push mail fine.
    Thanks.

    kfc01,
    The iPhone Deployment Guide (linked from http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise) says it does for VPN.
    Hope this helps,

  • Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN besides from the built-in mic?

    Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN aside from the built-in mic? 
    Also, are any special cables needed?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi
    You should be able to check by going to about this mac from the Apple menu. Then click the more info button and then the system report button. Next, click on audio tab to the left. If you don't have an entry for built in input then you probably don't have line-in in your mac. As already mentioned though you should be able to defiantly find out with the model and year.
    Hope this helps

  • Does the iPhone support "Disk Use"

    Does the iPhone support "Disk Use" like the iPod?

    You can purchase a Mac Mini for $600. Connect your existing monitor, keyboard, and mouse to it and you have a Mac that includes a CD/DVD drive.
    If not, once you factor in the same hardware doing a side by side comparison with a PC box assembler, a Mac is not as expensive or more expensive as you might think. Take out needing to purchase anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-adware software and the associated annual renewal cost, along with access to software included on a Mac that probably requires an additional purchase with a PC such as iLife, and the cost difference is decreased.
    That and the ability to run Windows natively on a Mac if needed or wanted, and you basically have two computers for the price of one. The cost comes down even more with this factored in.

  • How does the iMac DC 1.83 compare...

    How does the iMac DC 1.83 compare to the iMac G5 2.1?
    In real world speed.
    In real world features. ie: video frame rate, etc...
    Any REAL hardware problems pop up yet.
    Things like that.
    I an most likely to get one soon, and would like to know.
    Thanks
    -Apple //GS

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I hope that others reply also so we can see how this new computer is next to the two G5 versions it is replacing in a real world way.
    I am happy that the DC 1.83 is no sloth when going toe to toe with the G5 version.
    Did you port over your software from the older system, and run the programs to see how things ran, or freash install them all?
    Again, thanks

  • Does the Ipad2 support .epub (ebook) files?

    Does the Ipad2 support .epub (ebook) files?
    And: does it support websites built with flash?

    Epub boooks are supported. There are a number of different ebook apps, and generally books are locked (due to digital rights management systems) to the app/retailer that they were bought from e.g. iBooks (Apple), Kindle (Amazon), Barns & Noble, Nook - so won't be able, for example, buy a book from Amazon and read it it iBooks, you'll have to use the Kindle app.
    Flash is not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch). Some apps claim to (e.g. Skyfire) but judging from the reviews the results are varied. More info on why it's not supported here http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
