File Set Up for CD Auto Play on Mac

I have a small website that I need to burn to a CD and
AutoPlay when inserted into a drive. I have set up a couple
"AutoRun"executable files (for those PCs out there) which works
fine, but the CD will not AutoPlay on a Mac. The HTML files (on the
CD) display as Dreamweaver files, and when double clicked start up
Dreamweaver instead of a browser.
Any ideas on a work-around for the CD to AutoPlay in [any]
browser on a Mac???
Please help! Thanks!!

from the page:
AutoPlay on Macintosh OSX
The AutoPlay feature was silently dropped under Mac OS X. For
usability
purposes, a readme file can be added to a CD's root folder to
instruct the
user about what to do. Many Macintosh resources recommend
this for OSX as
well System 9.
A number of workarounds to enable AutoPlay on OSX have been
posted on
various online resources. For supported procedures regarding
the AutoPlay
feature, check the Macintosh Developer website.

  • HT3775 where do i go to get needed sound codec for avi to play on mac?

    where do i go to get needed sound codec for avi to play on mac?

    There is no single codec for videos that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the videos you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.  
    If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. Otherwise, you'll have to determine what codec was used for that audio track.
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • How to set value for Next Auto Restart for components

    Hi All
    When I checked my SPS13 portal in component monitoring area, I found that one of file server repository  etc is not running. To get rid of the problem, we had to restart the portal.
    On the same page there is a column for Next Auto Restart which was empty. Any idea where do we set it so that we do not have to restart entire portal for such kind of error.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Quoting a mail by Akhilesh:
    "Until EP6 SP2 you could have done this via
    System Administration  -> System Configuration -> Monitoring Configuration,
    but this iView was deleted in SP3 and now this configuration needs to be done using the VA
    In the VA navigate to Server -> Services -> Monitoring
    In the Monitor Tree navigate to Root -> Applications -> KMC - > Repository Framework -> Components -> Repository Manager
    You can set the "next auto restart" parameter for managers individually."

  • Need to set to kiosk mode/(auto play)

    In a simple DVDSP project, please tell me how to set a movie to just start playing when the user puts the disc into their Win/or Mac computer - and hopefully, in an average set top player as well. I looked through the manual and it refers to kiosk mode and first play, and says it can be done - but I couldn't figure it out...If anyone could walk me through it, that would be a lifesaver! I'm in DVDSP3.
    It's just a single movie file, about 5 mins. that I'd like to start playing when inserted...no menu or "play movie" buttons to click on are required.
    many thanks!
    Any help appreciated - I find the DVDSP manual complicated, and am still a beginner.
    Dual 1.25 GHz PM/G4   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    I suggest that you use Search in DVD SP's Help to find "First Play". This will tell you how to set a Track to First Play (so that it will play immediately the DVD is inserted).
    My DVD SP (version 3) begins:
    "To assign the First Play element in the Outline tab, do one of the following:
    Control-click the disc element, then choose the First Play element from the shortcut
    menu’s First Play submenu. This method ....."
    In fact, on my system, a simple click on the background of the DVD SP window that appears at top left of the screen, (with its Graphical Tab active) will reveal the Disc Inspector at the right of the screen and you can set the First Play field to the Track that you want to be First Played.
    (Then, if you want, you could select that Track, again in the top left window, so that its Inspector opens on the right of your screen. At the top is a field called "End Jump". Set this to the name of that track, so that it will start playing again when it reaches the end.)
    What I don't know is how the user can interrupt the First Play Track so that he/she can get to the main menu so that he can access the rest of the DVD. Perhaps someone else can help here. I would like to know.

  • Best system and file set up for SSD + HDD in optical drive

    I have finally pulled the trigger and purchased a Samsung 512GB 840 pro SSD for the main bay in my late 2011 Macbook Pro and a iTB SATA 2 HDD with Data Doubler from OWC to replace my optical drive. My question is what is the best way to set these up after I have installed them?I am an audio engineer and I do a lot of multi channel audio editing with large files and want the SSD for the speed for my editing. Do I set these up as separate drives or do I RAID ( if that is possible)? Do I have my System software and programs on the SSD and use the HDD as my scratch drive? I don't have access to a Mac Mini, so can't create a fusion drive. Appreciate the advise.

    Put the SSD in the main drive bay and the rotating HDD in the Optical bay. Use either Disk Utility or one of the Cloning software programs to Restore or Clone your current install from the HDD to the SSD.
    Or Make a Time Machine Backup of the current install and then use the Recovery HD system to Restore that TM backup to the SSD.
    Or you can do a Clean install of OS X on the SSD then reinstall all your programs and then copy over all your files from the HDD to the SSD.
    Many ways to do what you want. You just have to pick the one you want to use.
    Yes all files on every drive connected to your Mac in any way, internally or by an external port, will be seens by Finder.

  • Best set up for a TM and two macs !

    I just recieved my 500 mb LaCie drive.
    I want to set up my time machine. I have a MacBook Pro and Imac G5. I want to back up both of them (ideally) .. shall I just plug them in an alternating fashion? Or do I need to partition the drive? Or better to get a second HD for the the second machine?
    The other question .. If I use the drive with the laptop .. can I plug and unplug ? would it keep up with the updates?
    Thanks

    I'm not convinced that you need a GUID partitioning to back up an Intel Mac when the drive is attached to a PPC Mac and the Intel Mac backs up via network. I've been using an Apple Partition Map with the partition formatted as OS Extended (Journaled) to backup my MBP (Intel). This drive is attached to a PPC Mac Mini. I've been backing up for over a month and have done quite a number of file restores (not full system restores) with no problems.
    I also back up the Intel Mac to a GUID partitioned disk at the office. That also works nicely, and I have done a system (full) restore with that - successfully. At this point I've done two full restores to two different Mac with no problems. I really like TM!
    The backup via network is a sparsebundle, which is different that a sparse image (see
    http://unisec.blogspot.com/2007/11/sparsebundle.html for a nice discussion on this).

  • What are the file name(s) for CS6 scratch data on Mac?

    I see people saying the file (or is it multiple files?) is kept in the HD root. I don't see anything there (I only have one drive) that looks relevant to Photoshop, even when I view invisible files. Anyone know where the file is, and what it's named? Is it invisible?
    The reason I ask is that I want to exclude it from my ongoing Time Machine backups. I'm slowly learning the various Adobe folders that I need to exclude manually. (AutoRecover, Application Support/Adobe... in fact, the bazillion CS6 folders within Applications, since I'll just restore them from Creative Cloud if I have a failure.)
    Sometimes Time Machine has been doing a big backup for reasons unknown, and I think the recent installation ogf CS6 may be the culprit.
    Thanks in advance!

    I didn't know about it either but, apparently, the technique is common:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link
    "If one of the links is removed with the POSIX unlink function (for example, with the UNIX rm command), then the data are still accessible through any other link that remains. If all of the links are removed and no process has the file open, then the space occupied by the data is freed, allowing it to be reused in the future. This semantic allows for deleting open files without affecting the process that uses them. This technique is commonly used to ensure that temporary files are deleted automatically on program termination, including the case of abnormal termination."

  • How do I set up for Wireless printing on a Mac

    Hi Guys,
    I have purchased the HP Laser jet P1102w recently.  I took the printer on a location job and used it for the first time.  It was quite a soimple process of connecting the printer and MAC automatically downloaded and installed the software.
    As we were out of the office, we were not connected to the wireless network and therefore was not able to set up the printer on the netwrok.
    Now that we are back in the office I want to set up the printer so that it can be used wirelessly by all the devices connected to the network.
    I am unable to work out how to do this on MAC OS X 10.6.8.  I removed the printer from the Print & Scan Utility and tried to install it again while connected to the network, however I am still only able to print while connected by USB.
    I understand that I can print via the connected device on the network but would rather have it set up to do so wireless all together.
    Please can you point me in the direction of finding the instructions to set this up?
    All help is most appreciated.

    Hi @EI2014 ,
    Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometimes the Embedded Web Server won't open in other browsers.
    Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
    Clear out any old network settings on the printer.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
    Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.

  • Set up for RE1000 Range Extender on Mac OS X Lion 10.7

    The following is an informational post, good help is hard to find (I almost returned to the store.)
    I purchased the Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender on 11/12/2011. When running the setup CD that came in the box on my iMac with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 I received the following message:
    Unsupported operating system
    The Linksys Range Extender setup software supports these operating systems:
    - Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.5.1 or later

    http://homesupport.cisco.com/linksys/support
    From there I clicked on 'Get Linksys Support'
    http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/linksys
    Then choose:
    RE1000
    Wireless-N Range Extender/Bridge
    Then click on 'Downloads' tab
    At left look for

  • Question: best Hardware set-up for final cut univ. and mac pro

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has used final cut universal with their mac pro and can recommend a hardware set-up (Processors, memory... ) they found best adapted for it.
    my mac pro:
    Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 4
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
    thank you
    MAC PRO   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Final Cut Studio/video editing requires all four parts of a system…
    1) Processor performance
    2) GPU performance
    3) RAM
    4) Hard drive performance
    … to be working in tandem. If any one of these areas a caught short then the system as a whole is disproportionately affected. It's one of the downsides to video is that everything needs to be working as well as it can.
    So, what I would recommend for you is the following setup as your goal is something like…
    Mac Pro 2.66GHz
    6GB RAM (4 x 1GB + 4 x 512MB - I'm presumng you already have the 4 x 512MB)
    ATi X1900 XT graphics card (or better - depneds on what's available at the time)
    2 x Western Digital Raptor 150GB RAID 0 for boot and scratch
    2 x Maxtor MaXLine Pro 500GB RAID 0 for data
    Any further eSATA storage requirements for cloning, backup and data
    Not cheap but should scream.

  • Some opinions please on Auto play?

    Hello, I finally have my site ready to start sending out to my piano students ... and so far from my friends have said they love the site.
    But I read a few articles where people are ranting full force about auto play music ... so my question please is this:
    Is this sort of auto play piece going to REALLY disturb anyone?  It's a gorgeous clip from a Chopin sonata, recorded by me and set at a low auto play volume.  It is easily accessible to turn OFF if it actually does annoy anyone.
    http://www.prodigypianostudios.com
    But I figure my target audience would appreciate this clip. 
    Please let me know if this set up conforms well to an artists / pianists site, and if there is a way to possibly have the first page come with a pop up that simply asks the visitor if it would like to start playing soft music ... or if they would like to continue with none?
    Thanks!
    ~Dustin 

    What you think is beautiful music others may find annoying and intrusive.  Consider the following scenarios:
    Your site visitors are listening to other media (iTunes, YouTube, web radio, CDs or whatever...).  If your site has autoplay, it will compete with whatever they're listening to resulting in a media cacophony.
    Perhaps your site visitors surf in close proximity to other people (co-workers, students, public library users) who don't appreciate gratuitous music.
    There's a sleeping baby in the next room... 
    Media on web pages must be presented with utmost care and consideration for your site visitors.
    Turn off Autoplay.

  • HT3771 set up for printing with HP Designjet 500ps (Using Mac os 10.4.11 Printer is set up correctly showing on Mac-Updates installed but still won't print-Printer shows TIME OUT)

    Set up for HP Designjet 500ps using Mac os x 10.4.11 Does any one know where to upload
    Leopard os x 10.5 The printer will not print until I have the updated software. Ebay sell the
    disc on their auction site, but only on disc not a download which is more convenient & faster
    to get in a hurry.The software installed in the mac is working the way it should & showing up
    as it would but it seems as though there is a driver that's needed. The results in any articals
    that I have read suggest you don't need any drivers if you use HP EasyPhotoSoftware installed. 

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here, not "Apple Inc."
    You might have better a response to your questions by posting them in the OS X 10.4 Tiger forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.4_tiger
    or in the PowerMac forums:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_macof
    This forum is for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Since that version won't run on your PowerMac, you're not likely to get many helpful responses here.
    In any case, I'll try to offer some basic troubleshooting suggestions:
    The PS designation on your printer denotes the PostScript printer language. Is your applications software and current printer driver configured to send PostScript (or HP-GL or HP-PCL or ???)
    Does ANY application print anything (even gibberish) to the printer?
    HP still shows a DesignJet 500 series raster driver for OS X 10.4 Tiger available to download here:

    Does the printer time-out with every program, or just one? Have you tried another cable?
    OS X 10.5 Leopard is no longer sold by Apple. It was never sold as a download, sold only on CD/DVD disc. Discs might still be available for purchase on eBay.
    OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" is the oldest version of OS X still sold by Apple, and it too is available ONLY on CD/DVD for $20, but it will not run on your PowerMac, because Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor: os x snow leopard requirements
    HP DesignJet 500 basic printer documentation is available as a pdf document and downloadable file here: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults?sp4ts.oid=2 5301&ac.admitted=1391720518005.876444892.199480143
    How is the printer connected to the computer? Are you using a USB interface, a Centronics 'Parallel' interface, or a JetDirect network interface?
    It appears that the network timeout default for the printer was 30 minutes, but it can apparently be set in the range of anything 30-seconds and longer. The manual notes that some software does not send an 'end of job' postscript marker, so that is the reason for the time-out setting.

  • Embedded SWF files auto starting in IE but set to not auto play - Chrome, Firefox, Safari work ok

    One of the web masters at my school has embedded several Captivate 5 swf files in a web page.  I had re-exported all of them to not auto start after we realized that the originals were set to auto play upon loading (someone else made the orginials...).  Caches have been cleared on IE9, but yet, when that page loads, all of the no auto-play swfs start playing.  On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, none of them start playing when the page is loaded.  Does anyone have a clue why IE9 might be doing this and how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Sue

    Am I correct in assuming that when your web developer set these SWFs up on the same page that he did not use the default HTM page that Captivate creates?  Did he just embed them into the web page using standard Dreamweaver code for SWFs?
    Do the same Captivate SWFs start automatically if you upload them to your web server individually with the HTM and JS files that Captivate creates?  If not, then your web developer might be better off embedding the content in his web page using individual iframes pointing at the HTM file rather than the method he previously chose.

  • I started setting up a web page with iWeb. Auto play box is checked, but music will not play when page is opened.

    I started setting up a web page with IWeb.
    Several proplems so far:
    1) Auto Play box checked for music, but music does not start when page is opened.
    2) Can't get Quicktime "start/stop" slide to start and finish a section within a long piece of music (classical for example).  How does one work the slide bar to do this?

    Yes the audio file plays on the iWeb page when I click the play button.  I even made sure it played both without the “little boxes” that surround the icon (don’t know the technical name for those), and when I click the music icon without the little boxes.
    I did note that the iTunes window that appears when I open the Inspector is not highlighted until I click the music icon and those little boxes appear.  Then the Start/Stop, Auto Play,  Loop, and Show Movie Controller are highlighted —  and work properly.
    One other thing.  I see that the iWeb icon I am working from says “Domain copy.sites2.”  Does that have a bearing on anything?

  • My lap top wont import pictures from auto play. it keeps saying there is a file error and a device connected to the computer isnt working properly. i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste the pictures but this wont work either.

    my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.
