DVD player in MacBook Pro Not Working

Hey, for some reason after I got the Graphics Chip in my laptop replaced, my DVD player won't read DVDs... Any ideas on how to check if it's broken or maybe if there's an issue with the DVD player program?

Oh, that's what it was?  My father had told me it was "the graphics chip", so that's why i was confused.  I forgot to mention that the DVD drive makes the start up noises it makes when it goes to read a DVD, but it simply stops trying to read it after a few seconds...

  • DVD player in MacBook pro!!!!

    Hi dear Apple developer!!
    I am now an apple user for 1 year.  - macbook pro.
    Found out that DVD player is continent specific.  There is only 5 chances in changing the continent. why is DVD player in macbook pro is continent specific? so what happens for individuals like me who are frequent flyer and while in different continent every 6 months and want to watch a CD/DVD?
    I can use my microsoft office without thinking about changing set up whether i am in UK or canada or Dubai but that is not the case with my macbook pro.  why cant it be the same as microsoft DVD player. or am i got it totally wrong?
    thanks for your reply.
    regards

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Macbook pro not working without battery

    my macbook pro not working if i remove the battery
    & if the battery is empty my macbook pro not working before charging

    Try an SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    You should not run on AC with the battery removed. The MBP should work that way, but the OS throttles back the CPU so running like that is not recommended.

  • DVD player on Macbook pro will not work

    I have a couple of problems with my Macbook pro:
    1. it will not recognise any devices all of a sudden i.e my camera
    2. DVD player will not work and keeps coming up with an error message.
    please help

    Help us help you by posting more info:
    MacBook Pro variant and screen size (there have been many since the MBP was introduced 8 years ago)
    Mac OSX version
    If the DVD failure with burned disks or commercial DVDs? Will it mount a commercial CD?
    If you don't know your MBP version and your OS version is 10.7 or higher, you can get it by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button to get this:

  • Subpictures work in DVD player on MacBook Pro but not through TV

    Hi,
    I've put together a fairly simple DVD menu using Photoshop CS3 and Encore CS3 on OSX Leopard. All the buttons consist of text (with drop shadow) and then a (=1) duplicate layer (without drop shadow) as the highlight.
    Everything works fine and as expected in the preview and also works fine having burnt the project to DVD and playing it back through my MacBook Pro. The problem occurs when I put the DVD into a regular player (i've tried 2 different units) and through a TV. None of the highlights display.
    I've tried setting the Colour Set as 'Automatic' and 'Menu Default'. I've also tried breaking this down to a really simple test file (from scratch) which has no real content, just links to other menus, but I get the same thing. I've burnt soooo many DVD's trying to get this to work.
    Anyone else experienced this? I'm lost for what to do next and going slightly mad.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    HI
    same problem here, heard that adobe is aware of this problem but as we know adobe updates can take quite a time. Also i have read that taking the project to a mac with tiger an then burn it would work.
    Ceep in mind that it doesn't work to burn a ISO and than burn it with other software.
    Unfortunly you can not open a Encore CS3 mac project on Encore CS3 Windows.
    So i think there is no solution so far, if so i like to here this of course.
    Best thing to do now:
    1 sent lots and lots of E-mails to adobe.
    2 Finish your project leopard encore CS3 mac, than find someone with a mac tiger and burn a ISO so you can burn it later on your own Mac
    (i havent tryd it bud it shoult work i think)
    Cheers, stan

  • DVD Player on MacBook Pro won't work?

    My DVD player on my MacBook Pro won't work! I can hear the sound of the video, but the actual image won't appear. Plus, I can't watch things on Youtube in full screen anymore because my computer won't show it. And finally, some of my images are very pixelated. I'm getting super frustrated that nothing will work. Please help me!
    -Katie

    Many times, these types of problems can be 'fixed' by using a commerical DVD 'cleaning' kit (usually available at local electronics stores, Amazon, etc.). If 'cleaning' doesn't work, you may have a faulty SuperDrive. But I would try the cleaning method first, beofre taking your machine into an Apple Store or AASP.
    Good luck,

  • Macbook Pro not working with replacement logic board

    Hello everyone! About two months ago, someone spilled tea over my macbook pro. Upon taking it to the Apple store the representative told me that it would cost me over $1,000 to repair it and that I would be better off getting a new one (I know most of you have heard that many times). I inspected the Macbook and I realized that when I tried turning it on the keyboard would not light up and, but the sleep light was on. Furthermore, I heard the hard drive and the fans spinning. The tea only spilled on the right side of the Macbook so I figured that would help me narrow down the issue. The apple representative told me that I needed to replace the logic board so I went and bought a replacement one that was the same model. Before I screwed all the pieces back in, I wanted to try it out and see if it would turn on. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. It seems that the logic board is not the problem, but I am not sure what it might be. I'm pretty sure the CD/DVD drive is damaged, but I don't see why that would prevent the Macbook from turning on. I did a little research and I notice that most people test the graphics card to see if it is working, but I don't know how to do that. I have an older Macbook Pro, the motherboard is model 820-1993-A and I believe the model of the Macbook is A1150. Please help, this macbook was a gift and I don't want to throw it out!

    Well I would like to find out what the piece is that is causing me the problem so that I could replace it! I already replaced the most expensive piece and the hard drive seems to be working fine so it doesn't leave many things. I just would like to know how I would be able to check to see if the video card is damaged.

  • Bluetooth from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro not working?

    I am having (seemingly) bluetooth connection issues with "some" devices to my MacBook Pro.  I note:
    * Mouse pairs fine
    * iPhone 3GS does not remain connected (focus of this forum question)
    Error - after pairing my iPhone 3GS to my MBP I get an error:
    The Bluetooth Network is Unavailable
    There was an error connecting your device.  Make sure the device is turned on and in range.
    Notes:
    * MacBook Pro details:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro6,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
    Background: Ultimately interested in teethering my iPhone 3G data connection to my MacBook Pro, but for the moment the bluetooth connection won't even remain in place.

    nothing in these articles helped unfortunately - some more clarification:
    tethering via USB from iPhone 3G to MacBook Pro => WORKS
    tethering via Bluetooth => does NOT work, with bluetooth connectioning not staying up
    During pairing process:
    devices "see each other"
    pairing appears to work, then you see that the connection drops out directly afterwards (almost immediately)
    on iPhone message = "Connection Unsuccessful - XXX's MacBook Pro is not supported"
    on MacBook - it's just the connection in Bluetooth options shows up as not connected
    in /var/log/system I see some bluetooth related lines:
    Apr 18 19:33:14 Gregs-MacBook-Pro bnepd[18950]: [IOBluetoothDevice instantiateChannel] BluetoothHCIAuthenticationRequested failed (0x0006), so retry

    Apr 18 19:33:53 Gregs-MacBook-Pro blued[22]: Removing Bluetooth configured device: 00-26-08-23-23-9d
    Any other ideas?  Is it a physical problem with my MBP?  but then again my bluetooth mouse stays connected ok.  And in terms of the iPhone well it tethers fine to the iPad via bluetooth....

  • One speaker on MacBook Pro not working for certain programs?

    When I either receive or place a FaceTime call on my MacBook Pro, the left speaker cuts out audio and produces high static.  The right speaker is fine.  The receiving end can also hear the static feedback, but their two speakers work fine.  I have all my iOS devices setup to receive and place FaceTime calls (iPhone 5s, iPad, and MacBook Pro 15 inch late 2011).  If I place or receive the FaceTime calls on my iPhone or iPad, there is no problem. 
    I've tested the speakers, youtube, iTunes audio, streaming websites, netflix, etc... and all works fine on the MacBook Pro.  Just FaceTime.  I also went into system preferences and the speaker setup is correct (audio in and out - internal speakers).
    I've also restarted, reinstalled Yosemite...still FaceTime left speaker problem.
    I appreciate any troubleshooting advice and/or if others have experienced this problem.
    Thanks!

    The Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac OS X:FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime - Apple Support does not offer much in the way of help for the problem you are having.
    Have you tried going to System Preferences, Sound, Output and playing around with the Balance to see if that makes any difference?
    You might also consider going to FaceTime, Preferences and turn FaceTime OFF and then back ON.
    And to have the system checked, you could take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs see if there is something hardware-wise interfering with FaceTime.

  • Need help one USB Port on MacBook Pro not working

    Its been a weak now and im getting tired of my MacBook pro USB not reading anything.. It wont read/connect usb drives, IPods/IPhones/IPads, and Android phones. I have tried the PRAM and SMC resets and nothing has worked i even left my Macbook pro off for a whole day. ITS ONLY ONE PORT NOT WORKING, i took it to bestbuy because its closest to me but geek squad just did what i explained above and told me get a USB hub and NO! i want to fix this issue... Anyone has had this happen can you let me know if its because the USB port is no longer working or a software issue... Also i keep getting this notification telling me USB devices disabled draining to much power but i have nothing connected!!
    ps- my MacBook Pro is getting very hot fast and it happens when im not even using it, i get home and it very hot could there be another hardware failure i dont leave applications open when i sleep it.

    It sounds like you might have a hardware problem. Your best bet is to go to the Genius Bar. The evaluation is free, and they'll fix it if you're under Applecare. Back up your stuff first though.

  • New iMac as second display for MacBook Pro not working

    I just bought the new thin 2012 27" iMac as a replacement to the last model I had.
    I want to use the iMac as a second display for my 2012 MacBook Pro.
    I have a Mini Display Port to Mini Display Port cable that used to work with my previous setup and at work with my external display.
    However, this isn't working on the new iMac. When I try the Command + F2 suggestion I've seen in the forums here. Nothing happens.
    Do I need a new cable now that these are "thunderbolt" connections?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Demetre

    You will most likely need a Thunderbolt cable as they are both Thunderbolt devices and not Mini DisplayPort.

  • What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

    What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player?  I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music.  Thanks.

    I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
    Good luck,

  • Macbook Pro not working right after getting it back from Apple Store

    I had to bring my last generation Macbook Pro into the Apple store to have a faulty optic drive and logic board replaced. I just got home and the date in the preferences was set to 2001 and it will not connect to my network, even though I am typing this on another Mac using the same connection. It does see it, it just shows a message with an exclamation mark in the Airport area saying no internet connection.
    Any ideas of what I may need to do? Are both of these a sign that they may have messed something up? I did reboot it after getting it back.
    Thanks.

    Just bring it back. Have them check it out and demonstrate that it's working properly.
