DVD player not installed

I am somehow missing my DVD player application. How might I get that or an equivalent DVD player to work on my Mac.
Thanks!

If you don't mind, could you please explain this process in more detail? My uncle will be performing the operation and I will not be around to help.
I appreciate it.

DVD Player Not Working - Need Help Please!

My eMac is currently not reading DVDs. The drive will recognize and automatically play commercial music CDs and software, as well as burned music CDs. However, when a commercial DVD is inserted into a drive, not only will the DVD player not recognize or play it, the eMac does not even notice that there is a DVD in the disk drive.
Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

hi there--
there are a number of things for you to try. one is to do a pmu reset. instructions are found in step 6 of this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=34885 if you have an ati graphics emac or later, then the pmu button is on the right side, not the left. if that doesn't work, then try resetting the firmware. boot to open firmware by holding apple-option-o-f and then type in the following commands--
reset-nvram (hit return)
set-defaults (hit return)
reset-all (hit return)
the last command will restart the computer. if neither of those things works, then i would try booting to the install disk and running disk utility. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 if that fails, then i would create a test user (system preferences > accounts, then hit the plus sign) and see if there is any difference there. let me know how that is going for you.

HT2499 how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title?

how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title

Play all chapters, i mean.
I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.
OS 10.4.
Macbook 6
Thanks so much!

Flash player not instaled ??

I have flashplayer (9.0.115.0) installed but any site that

Installing PSE12 Continually crashes my DVD player during install. Cannot open or use DVD and it won't open. Finally got it installed, but program blinks continuely when trying to open program. It then opens after a long wait.

Sorry this is my first time in the Adobe forum. I pretty much asked everything in my title. The installation process took me several hours to finally get it loaded. Continually crashes my DVD player and I have to use a pin to open it to get to the disc. This is a new disc just purchased a few days ago. Read where this program has had its share of problems on the internet. After installing the program, it blinks continually for a long time before it ever opens. Rather annoying to say the least. Need this program to get me started in my work.
Will this program work even though it blinks for a long time when opening it? Seems to work, but since I am not that familiar with it, I really don't know just yet.
Thank you for your input.

You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.

DVD player -10960 Install Error after 10.6.8 Download

After downloading OS X 10.6.8 to Snow Leopard, my DVD player no longer works. I get a -10960 Error installation error. The DVD player is v.5.4 running on MacBook Pro 2GHz (older 2010). Can I download 10.6.8 to my external hard drive and reinstall to MacBook? Would that even have the DVD player? Would I have to erase and install. I do have a retail version of OS X 10.6.3. Or, is there an Apple DVD stand alone download specific to 10.6.8? Have not seen this discussed in other forums. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer afterwards after you installed 10.6.8? If so, try the following.....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
Another thing you can try is custom installing. You can custom install the DVD application directly from your install disc by following the onscreen custom install instructions. Or reinstall the os by installing the 10.6.8 combo updater directly from Apple's download site.

DVD player not recognized suddenly

Premiere 2 does not recognize the dvd player that I am using w/o a problem for many years. Who can help?? Thanks

Does Windows Explorer aka File Manager still "see" the DVD drive?
If yes, what other software have you installed?

DVD Player not supported ?

After a clean install (now on OSX 10.0.4), my DVD Player is not supported in my classic environment ? It no longer autolaunches and I cannot even manually launch it ! Be very grateful for some advice.

Mine does this on occasion.
Haven't figured out what the problem is but restarting fixes it.
Can't get it to repeat the problem enough to troubleshoot it.
I posted a year ago but no responses.

Dvd player not responding, spits out dvd

My dvd player does not read dvds. It just spits out the dvd. This has only begun after I installed Lion.

The thing may need cleaning, go to your local office supply store and get a CD/DVD cleaning kit.

Mountain Lion DVD Player not working

When I insert a DVD movie into my MacBook Pro, with Mountain Lion, it can not read the disk and ejects it. DVDs played correctly until installing OSX Mountain Lion...what changed and how to resolve

Yep, me too. Not sure if it is just coincidence and my drive was about to fail? I have a 13" Macbook Pro Mid 2010.
To be honest I installed Mountain Lion as soon as it came out and have only just tried the DVD player today....
In my System Profiler I get the attached - it says Powered Off: Yes.
I have tried Repair Disc Permisions/PRAM/SMC/Removed Drive and cleaned - no joy.
Any other people out there with this?

Hi,
Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether there is a hardware problem with the optical drive itself.
Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( as should your Recovery Discs ) , so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive or the sata controller.
On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if your noteboo will run this OS from the CD. The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
Let me know if this will run.
Regards,

Dvd player not working with os lion

my dvd player has stopped working since I installed Lion

Can't really be sure that you're having the same problem since the OP never posted back about their problem and we don't know what it is, so.... have you tried an SMC and PRAM reset? That is sometimes helpful:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
I also assume you have it set to show the icon on the desktop, open it with the app of your choice, etc, etc? If other Macs read the CD, then there might be a problem with the drive. A good way for a free diagnostic session would be to make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar - any out of warranty repair would not be free of course, but at least you'd know what is going on.

External NEC dual layer DVD player not reconized by DVD player

Mac DVD Player will not reconize Movies inserted into the NEC DVD RW (model ND-3500AG) or Toshiba DVD-R (modelSD-R5112) installed in an external Firewire enclosure with an error of "THERE WAS AN INITIALIZATION ERROR" "A valid DVD drive could not be found. (-70012) any help with this would be great.

Apple's DVD Player will only run if there is a DVD player installed inside the computer; you can use this application to play DVDs from the external drive.
