How can I play mini DVD's on the USB superdrive?

I can't play my mini dvd's on the superdrive

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mini DVDs don't work with the Apple USB SuperDrive or with any disc drive included with Macs. You have to use an external DVD drive compatible with mini DVDs

If it contains Windows software, you need to use Windows, CrossOver Mac, or Wine. If not, it depends on the file types it contains.

Can't play mini dvd - and now I can't eject

I had a training video made at a class yesterday, and the instructor used a Sony mini-dvd camera for media. I can't read it on my work Dell laptop, and I placed the DVD in my mid-2009 17" MBP. Won't play, and I can not eject it either. Other than splitting the case is there a way to eject the disk?

Regardless of the brand of computer, non-standard optical discs are totally incompatible with slot-loading optical drives. That instructor should have known.
Even if you open the case, the disk is still stuck in the drive because the drive irself is a full wrap-around design:
You can try holding the computer so the drive slot is pointed down and rocking it (not "shaking it!"). the computer should be OFF, not asleep when doing this. If that does not work, seek professional help.
Others may tell you to stick something thin and flat well into the slot to free the mini-disk, but I believe you can imagine how bad that could turn if not properly done.

How can I play an audio file without the whole screen going black?

When I play the mp3 file on IE it opens in a small screen so I can still see the web page.
On Firefox the whole screen is taken up with the sound file being played.
Can this be changed?

Is that file played in a tab in the current window or in a separate pop-up window?
Are you allowing pop-up to modify the window size (dom.disable_window_move_resize = false)?

How can I play a dvd on my Mac and display it through Apple TV

I want to use my DVD drive on my mac to play back movies through my apple tv2. I notice that on my iPad, iPhone, iTunes on my computer all have the AirPlay option to display the video on my TV through Apple TV. I do not want to burn my DVD onto my Mac and play through iTunes becasue its a hassle.

One thing you can do is to play the DVD in your Mac using DVD Player instead of iTunes, and then, turn on AirPlay Mirroring to stream your computer's display to your Apple TV > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com This is the only option, because the Apple TV isn't compatible with discs
Logical but it won't work - DVD player output will be a grey checkerboard pattern.
Apple apps prevent Airplay of DVD content at low level presumably for some copy protection reason.
VLC player is believed to work.

I have a new MacBook Air with a USB super drive. I put in the DVD and I get nothing. No icon on the desk top and DVD player is no help. How do I play a DVD or eject the one in now?

There's a defect. The computer is in warranty so take it in for repair.

How can I play a playlist and not the entire library on my shuffle?

I can't seem to organize songs into playlists and then play only the songs in the playlist -

There is if you play music from your computer (mine is connected via AirTunes to several stereo systems) or if you later get a Nano, or iPod with Video or an iPhone that does support playlists.
You can also use them to load songs on your Shuffle. For example, say you are going on a long exercise walk and you want many motivational songs with increasingly faster tempos. You could create a playlist on your computer, put the songs in it that you want, in the order you want, call it Long Walk, and then when your Shuffle is connected choose to Autofill from the playlist Long Walk

How can I play ABSOLUTELY LOSSLESS video on the iPad2?

Hi everyone!
I'm creating some test videos for a project I'm working on. I have a sequence of png test images that are 1024x768. I would like to have these images play back on the iPad2 as a video. The catch is that there needs to be absolutely zero mathematical loss in the final video - each frame should be an exact representation of the associated png image. This is not an aesthetic requirement, it's a scientific requirement. I'm doing a study on pixels. Any suggestions?
I've been using the free version of FileApp to load videos onto the iPad and play them through that app. I've been encoding my lossless video into Quicktime in AfterEffects using a variety of codecs, including Animation and PNG, both of which playback on my PC perfectly lossless-ey, but when I try to play them back on the iPad2 they don't play back at all. Some other codecs like the H264 or Jpeg get very close, but there are losses in the final version.
I'm not concerned with file size... I have the 64Gb version and I'm willing to use all of that for this project.
Any suggestions for video playback apps? Preferably free so I can test this lossless requirement without wasting some money first.
Any suggestions for encoders and codec settings?

Well, if you are not concerned about file size, then you can just encode the videos as APNG and then play the videos with https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apng/id447928057. All you need to do is put the xyz.apng file on a webserver somewhere and then copy and paste the URL into the bar at the top of the APNG app. The file will then be downloaded and played. Just be aware that a full screen iPad size video is massive and it will tax the IO subsystem to the limit, so the max framerate you will be able to get on an iPad2 will be about 20FPS. In case this was not clear, APNG is basically the same as a series of PNG images, it is completely lossless.

I changed the captions for my family photos to include names, but when I exported the photos to make DVD's for family members, the old captions were there and not the new ones. How can I make a DVD to include the new captions with names?

I have labeled old family photos with names that I would like to share at a family reunion via DVD. When I export the photos to make the DVD, the old photo labels are back rather than the new labels with names. Can I export the photos with the new titles?

iPhoto shows you these Titles but the Finder shows you Filenames
If you export (File -> Export) you'll get the Export dialogue. Note the option at FileName to use the Title as filename for the exported photo

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

You can't. The only way is to transfer the movie to your computer and import to iTunes (making sure it is compatible) and either use home-sharing or airplay the movie off an ios device.
