DVDs burned in iDvd work in other devices, but not on my Mac!

Strange. I switched to iDvd 6. Now I am having troubles I never had before (and it isn't due to bad disks -- I use the same ones burned successfully with iDvd 5).
Burning to disk produces a "NDIF disk image" -- not what I would have expected. The burned disks work in my DVD player for the TV, and even work in a PC! But they aren't able to be read by my Mac! I get a "this disk is in a format your Mac doesn't recognize" type of error. Or if the disk goes in, it doesn't show up on the desktop.
I have tried just about everything. Burning directly to disk produces the same effect.
As a note, the Disk Utility recognizes there is a disk there!
Any suggestions? I'd really like burn DVDs that are readable on my Mac again (as well as everything else).

Does anyone have an answer to this individual's problem?
I have been successfully using iDVD burning disk images and direct to DVD disc with not a single issue.
To conserve my main hard drive space I kept my iDVD templates on one of my other hard drives. Recently I was spring cleaning and inadvertently relocated the iDVD template library. Upon recently launching I realised this and reinstalled the templates.
So when I go to work I have every detail set up as usual and instruct iDVD to burn a disk image of the file so it's ready to burn to disk upon my return home from work. I have no idea why iDVD is now burning NDIF images. I have used Disk Utility to burn the image to a DVD and all seems to work fine, despite the seemingly slow verification process. After which "Your Disk has been burned Successfully."
Question:
Why is it that my Intel Mini is capable of recognizing and playing my newly burned DVD from this strange and suddenly appearing NDIF image, while my PowerMac G4 Dual 867 which I have used to burn and play burned disks for a few years now, not recognize or play a burned DVD disk?

When i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

Logic's preference files may have become corrupted:
1. Quit Logic Pro
2. In the Finder, press and hold down the "option" key then select "Library" from the "Go" menu
3. Open the "Preferences" folder
4. Drag the following files to the Trash:
    - com.apple.logic.pro.cs
    - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist
    - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
    - com.apple.logic.pro.plist
    - com.apple.logic.pro.plist.lockfile
These files will be re-created when Logic is next opened.

I have just update my MacBook to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Unfortunately I can not now connect to the internet. I have a time capsule that is connected to a router. This is working with other devices but if I try to connect with the MB everything stops?

I have updated my MB to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - I know this means I am a little behind the times but the problems I am now having seem to justify my reluctance. Now am unable to connect to the internet! I use a time capsule connected via a router. Everything is still OK with every other device (PC, I phone, Ipod) in the house so I know the "Network" is still enabled and there is no problem with the ISP. Strangley whenever I boot up the MB it appears to freeze the network such that the other devices also will then not access the internet. To regain access I have to turn off the MB and reset the router. Any help gratefully recieved as I have tried some of the ideas i have found in the internet but nothing is working. Thanks.

That's odd.
Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL.

My Apple TV does not recognise My iTunes password. It works on all other devices but not Apple TV? Any ideas why or how to fix?

Any ideas why my Apple TV does not recognise my iTunes password, when all other devices, including these communities are good with it?

Hi Mick2291,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd suggest restarting, and then restoring, your Apple TV if the issue persists:

DVD Created with IDVD Will Play on Computer, But Not in DVD Player

I loaded some video into IMovie, then went to IDVD to create a DVD. It previews fine and the disk burned fine. I can play the disk back in the computer, but when I drop it in a Panasonic DVD Player, it won't play.
I've been burning for some time now and haven't had this problem before. Disks burned two weeks ago are fine, these are not.
I've tried a couple different brands of disks, it makes no matter.
I'm at a loss.

One of the limitations of iDVD 4 is that 'out of the box' it doesn't support the creation of disk image files - just burning to writable media.
Your problems sound to be high burn error related. With newer versions of iDVD you can create a disk image file out of iDVD and use Apple's Disk Utility to burn the image to writable media at a low (4x or lower) speed. This reduces the amount of burn errors. None of the iDVD versions prior to the current iDVD '08 had any provision for reducing the burn speed.
What brand of media are you using? (Maxell and Verbatim have good track records around here.)

When I'm on Facebook and play Fish World, sending gifts is no longer working, the drop down box won't open enough to see the "send" button. It works in other games, but not in Fish World, and I contacted Fish World who said it was a browser problem.

starting yesterday I cannot get the drop down box to open to send gifts to my friends. Fish world told me a few weeks ago it was due to some updates with Facebook, but now that has been fixed and I can't get the game inFB to work. It works with other browsers - Chrome and IE9. Is there something I need to do on my end to fix this? Other facebook games work fine with drop down boxes, it's only fish world.

problem solved

I designed my website to have email links and now the work in other browsers but not Firefox

HTML code
href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Web Site Inquiry"
This should open the email client but nothing happens in Firefox. It works in other browsers.
How can I fix this?

This can happen if your script doesn't close all of the HTML tags it opens. Some past threads on pages not rendering fully (usually the missing text is there in the source view, Ctrl+u):
* [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/846246 Part way through a particular web page, HTML stops being rendered]
* [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929969 text is missing from webpage]
If you do not spot the problem, is there a publicly accessible page that you could link to so volunteers could take a look?

Airport extreme working on some devices but not others

All of a sudden airport extreme has stopped working on some of our devices. within our family we have an old macbook pro running tiger, a 2nd gen macbook air running snow leopord, a black macbook running lion, a mac mini running lion, two iphone 4s and an iphone 3g. the wireless only works on the two computers running lion. nobody has changed any of the settings on the airport extreme. it is running the latest version and has been working fine up until a couple of days ago. i have reset the modem and router several times each but nothing has helped. when we try to connect the iphones to the wireless they say unable to join network and the computers running snow leopord or older say there was a problem connecting to the network or something similar to that. any help would be appreciated!

I know that you have reset both the modem and AirPort already, but I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
(OPTIONAL, but recommended) While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Car charger, cant seem to charge my iPhone 6 in the car with third party chargers, they work other places and with other devices but not in car. Did I inadvertantly change a setting somewhere to deactivate the car charging?a

CAr charging?

That would be because the charger isn't putting out enough power to charge your Phone while in use. Not all car chargers are created equal in terms of output. After doing some research, I found there are some you can buy, but this one seems to be about the best option. It's $15 and you can get it on Amazon.

Program working in virtual device, but not on physical device

I made a program, pretty simple, actually, that simply consumes a web service here on my local network. Pretty much all it does is try to authenticate.
I had a problem with DNS before with the androids, so i replaced all of the domain names in the service xml files to IP addresses, which still works virtually, but again, not on the physical device.
Any ideas?

Hello,
Regarding the procmon capture;
Yes, it is a lot of data. I would just start at the top and read my way down on both captures and then identify areas which they differ. Without understanding where the two captures differ, well - it would seem hard to understand where the difference in
behaviour starts?
Of course you can minimize the data by (this seems rather obvious, but lets re-iterate);
1. Avoid all and any unnecessary background tasks
2. Monitor normal system activity and exclude that
3. Learn the application behavior and decide if you want to monitor only the application, or all system activity
4. Understand the application
As you have a working / non-working scenario - this seems like a perfect scenario of using ProcMon.

My Thunderbolt-port equipped 15" Macbook Pro (Early 2011) works with other monitors but not with my Thunderbolt Display.

I just got a thunderbolt monitor and excitedly, I plugged my early 2011 thunderbolt port equipped 15" Macbook Pro (running 10.8.2) into it and... no image on the monitor.
Ok, so I know that the TB display works because I plugged a mid-2012 13" Macbook Pro into it (running 10.7.5) and it works perfectly. In fact, I'm using it to type this message right now.
Other details:
- in both the displays preference pane and about this mac/system info, the 15" mbp recognizes the display, yet... no picture either clamshell open or closed. restarted with it plugged in and not plugged in, no difference. also? sound comes through the monitor.
- ALSO, i plugged in a mini displayport monitor into the 15" port, and it displayed fine, so the port seems to be doing something.
see my conundrum?

It should just work - if it's not working with your 2011 model (works just fine with my 15" late 2011, right out of the box) I would get in touch with AppleCare as soon as possible and see what the senior techs may have to say...

Office Web Apps - working in other browsers but not Internet Explorer

Hi there,
I have office web apps on my SharePoint 2013 environment. The previews work file when hovering next to a document but if I try to open it, I get "Sorry, we ran into a problem". It looks as though Excel files open okay but I
have tested Word and Powerpoint documents and I get this error. Also, it only appears to happen in Internet Explorer - Google Chrome and Firefox are okay. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice. I installed the hoftix (on the OWA server) and now it appears to really be broken - nothing is opening using office web apps anymore.
I found this blog with the same errors I am getting - I'm guessing I will need to uninstall etc. too??

Internet does work on other computers but not on Imac

Hi, after an electricity problem my Imac won't make connection to the internet anymore. My macbook and a Toshiba PC still do.
The Imac finds the network but says there's been a time-out while trying to make the connection.
I called the helpdesk of the internetprovider but they said everything works fine, after having tested the connection.
And of course they don't know anything about Mac...
Thanks for any help.

What type of modems and routers do you have? A full make and model workup is necessary to determine the source of the problem. Have you tried connecting directly to the modem by ethernet? And what sort of electricity problem did you have?

I cannot change the font size on firefox. Works on other browsers but not on FF and writing is too small. Ctl+ works but its a nuisance each time

Have windows 7 but even on Vista the fonts on FF are too small and I cannot change the size.

You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:
