DVD remote controls work differently on a Mac?

I created an SD DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4, and when I tested it on a standard TV DVD player, the remote controls work just as they should. But, when I play it on a Mac computer using a remote, it doesn't work the same. For example, if I have a video track following a slideshow, when I'm on the last slide I can press PLAY and the video will play. But on a Mac, pressing PLAY is taking me back to the Menu page.
Can someone please help me figure out if there's a way I can fix this? Thank you!

Have you tried looking around the DVD Studio support area?

HT2499 How do I find the DVD remote control and restart my DVD where I left off?

Hello. I have the external disc player. When I inserted a DVD the first time, the movie started automatically and the DVD remote control came to the screen. However, I had to shut down before I finished watching the movie. I kept the disc drive plugged in and the DVD inside. Now I don't know how/where to find the DVD remote control to restart the movie as it doesn't start automatically without me unplugging the whole thing and restarting it from the beginning.
Thanks!

Thank-you, Eric. No, it was when the movie was stopped and I had actually turned off the computer for the night. I played around on it a lot and kept googling. I think the way is to launch finder and search DVD player. The remote came up then! Don't know if there's an easier way but I'm happy to restart my movie now. (I am a new Mac user, evidently ) Thanks for replying!

I have lost the password and the DVD is not working on my old mac G4 500mhz, how can I get back my password?

I have lost my password and the DVD is not working on my old mac desktop G4 500mhz. I have tried use the boot up disk to change the admin password. But the DVD did not work. ( I did not touch this machine for years.) But i need retreive something , so I have tried the shell script in the terminal
1. fsck-y and the mount-uw to try to change and find the service directory's plist to change the password. But after I get the mount -uw, it show illegal option message.
What I can do now to solve this problem? in shell script or any other way?
Thx in advance.

Hi,
A DVD drive that is not working after many years not used:
most probably dust on the little laser lens.
Take the drive out and if you can reach this lens: clean it with pure alcohol on Q-Tip.
Many people throw away cd or dvd players all the time because they stopped working, and very often it can easily be fixed by cleaning this lens.
I used to have a G5, where I couldn't access that lens. It was very sensitive to dust.
I have fixed it several times with compressed air. One time I didn't have canned air, but a bikepump did the trick.
If you have another mac, I'd try to access the G4 internal disk with firewire target disk mode.
good luck

Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

Thanks!

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

DVD Remote Control buttons don't work when using regular DVD player

I created a DVD using DVD Studio Pro (version 3.0.2) and am unable to navigate through any menus or buttons using the DVD players remote control. I can press the play button on the actual DVD player and play the movie. How can I fix this issue? Any suggestions would be helpful!
I never changed the default setting on the file I made and the DVD works just fine in the simulator as well as any computer DVD player. Also, is there a way to make sure the DVD will play on all DVD players even if it doesn't read burned DVDs?
Thanks for the help!

Not sure if I can add anything here - you're in good hands! I'd like to know how you constructed the menus - did you use photoshop layers for the background and overlay, or did you use a pict file? Are these motion menus or static?
About the compatibility - a burned disc will only ever be about 85% compatible with the number of DVD players out there, and if a DVD player states that it cannot read from DVD-R or DVD+R discs then it most likely won't play your disc. The only way to approach full compatibility is to have the disc replicated, but the cost of this usually means it is not worth while for anything less than 500 to 1000 discs at a time. If you are using DVD±R then all you can do is take steps to make sure the disc is as compatible as it can be, such as keeping the MPEG encode less than 7.5MBPS, using AC3 audio, not applying paper labels and so on.
Compatibility is getting better in general, this summer I have burned in excess of 90 individual projects on DVD-R (and duplicated each one up to seven times each) for playback on consumer players and only one came back (so far). When I looked at it there was a chunk missing from the surface of the disc, which probably explained the error!

Remote control Sony video camera with Mac Mini?

Is it possible to connect an IR transmitter to a mac mini to be able to control a Sony camera from a remote location miles away? Specificaly, I want to be able to point my Sony IR remote control at my Mac Book Pro at home to control a video camera at work via the internet. Control features include focus, zoom, iris, White balance, etc. Is this possible? (The Sony camera comes with a remote control)

I never heard of such a device but there's a bunch of stuff in Google:
"Results 1 - 10 of about 611,000 for "long distance remote control."
Your best bet would probably be a telephone, with the person at the other end in the same room as the camera.

Why doesn't my remote control work?

My remote controls for both my Portable and desktop stopped working. Has the software changed?

Will Any Usb DVD-RW drive work with the 2011 Mac mini?

I am considering buying a USB DVD-RW drive, and i wanted to hear from people with first hand experience of USB dvd drive support for Mac's I'm looking for a DVD-RW DL drive, so It can burn DVD DL CD's normal DVD's RW's etc. Things a modern superdrive would do esentially.
I have checked and i personaly think the Official apple one will hit my bank too hard, not to mention it doesn't bother me what It looks like
Can anyone recommend any Drives that work?(It will also be used on My PC and Macbook with a broken superdrive)
I was looking around the £15-£25 price range
I was allso wondering if a USB to Sata with a Sata DVD drive will work? As from what i can see nobody has tried it!
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks, Scott.

Will I be able to completely remotely control and access my Office Mac from my Macbook Air at home?

I am in a bit of a dilemma and need some help from the community. I have a Mac Mini running 16GB Ram 2.3 I7 and 1 TB Fusion Drive at my office, it is in Parrallels Coherence mode 100% of the time. I have to run certain Windows apps from home. I am setting my routers at the office to accept NAT-PMP, or Plug and Play so that I can access them.
I have two questions:
1. Will I be able to use back to my mac, or screen share to completely operate and share my mac mini with a new mac book air?
2. I am buying a new MacBook Air, I am under the assumption that I can get the 13" 4gb, I5, with 256 GB and I should be able to quickly access and handle all basic remote access, iphoto stuff and some i movie stuff occassionally.
Am I correct in these assumptions? Any recommendations?
I do have IPAD apps that can also access two of the three windows apps that are critical to my company, but really need a traditional computer with mouse to run them effectively remotely.
Thanks in advance for your help,
John

Yes to both, as long as the Mini is running Mountain Lion or later OS you can use Back to My Mac and Screen Sharing. It will be as though you are seated at the remote Mac. Connections and speed will be determined by Internet conditions.
OS X Mountain Lion: Share your screen using Back to My Mac
It's pretty seamless. Copying files for example is a simple matter of dragging them to or from the Screen Sharing window. If you have multiple users on the Mini you can log in remotely as any user for which you have access, or share the screen interactively with a user's consent.
The only uncertainties are your router, but according to Apple all that should be required is to enable NAT-PMP or UPnP.
I use Apple routers, to eliminate any uncertainty.

Mac Mini Install DVD - Will it work on other Intel Macs

Mac OS X Server v10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
The DVD that came with the Mac Mini Server (A1347)
Will this DVD install onto my Mac Pro?

The DVD might boot on the Mac Pro but if it does the installer will not let you install on the Mac Pro.
There is a possible workaround that is often used, and at one point in the past was even recommended as a solution by Apple.
Boot the Mac Pro in FireWire Target Disk Mode.
Connect the Mac Pro via FireWire to the Mac mini.
Boot the Mac mini from the DVD
Install on to the Mac Pro hard disk which will show up as a FireWire external drive.
Boot the Mac mini from the Mac Pro drive which will show up as a FireWire external drive. You can do this by holding down the Option/Alt key.
Run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server Combo update.
Shutdown the Mac mini.
Power down the Mac Pro by pressing briefly the power button.
Disconnect the Mac Pro from the Mac mini
Boot the Mac Pro as normal.
Hopefully it will boot normally but now with Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server installed on it.

Remote control stops working after a few days

NW 6 SP3
ZFD 3.2 SP2
After importing workstations, remote control works fine. After a few
days, remote ping might work but NOT remote control. Sometimes even remote ping errors out with the message that the "REMOTE MANAGEMENT
AGENT
IS NOT RUNNING"(when it appears it is). If I stop and start the
"novell
wuser agent" service, then I can usually remote control the
workstation
again. Occasionally, however, I get the message "The Remote
Management
agent was unable to locate the workstation in NDS". At which point I
have
to delete the workstation object and re-import the workstation to be
able
to remote control it again.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a different server for each site(city) hosting the import
services. There is only one variable allowed in DNS so all sites
would
try to get services and register to the same server.
Using the container login script for each site to set the /s parameter
was
easier than changing the registry setting for each
workstation...especially if that server changed. This way I would
only
have to change it one place.
If the workstation has already been registered and imported AND I can
remote control it, does it NEED to find the import server again if it
hasn't been rebooted since the last time I remote controlled it?
Thanks, jg

Lenovo AIO C440 - not working infrared remote control

Hello,
is there any hint how to get infrared remote control working for a new C440 model? Tomorrow I will try to measure and/or replace batteries which could be bad. For now it is totally not working.
Another question: the remote should work only within AverMedia TV app or in the whole Windows 8?
Regards,
Zdenek

hi bohdik,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
The IR Windows Media Center remote control is for use with C440 models with optional TV tuner. If you have this model, make sure the TV Tuner driver and the ITE CIR Driver from the lenovo support site are installed under Device Manager (press Windows Key+R then type devmgmt.msc) then follow the Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center. guide.
Note:
You must have Windows 8 PRO to enable Windows Media Center
See this articles in reference:
How to add Windows Media Center to Windows 8 Pro

Hope this helps

Remote control Macbook Pro doesn't work anymore. Please help

What to do?
Best regards, Peter

Universal dock remote control play/pause button doesn't work

Hi all,
Ok since updating to Ipod touch software v2.2 I have been unable to use the play/pause button on my Apple universal dock remote, whilst my iPod touch is in the dock.
The volume controls and track next and previous buttons commands on the remote control work just fine.
I have tried unpairing and then pairing the remote with the universal dock but same issue. I thought that maybe the play/pause key was possibly broken. However I tested the remote on my iMac and play/pause button works fine in front row.
Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Strange thing is mine started working again last night and is still working. Seems the problem went away as it originally appeared. I hope it doesn't stop working.
I will mark this thread as unanswered until we can figure why the remote, universal dock and iPod touch are behaving this way.
