How do I get DVD Player back?

My CD player is working but DVDs (movies) are not--photos are. I think the DVD Player application is missing, following an inadvertent deletion. [The aliases are still there.] My question is, can I get the DVD Player application back? I want to upgrade my system software, and I have Tiger (which I believe is the highest my machine would comfortably go with 1.25 Ghz and 767 MB) but it seems I can't do that without the DVD Player application.
Help Appreciated!

I have a similar problem. Just updated an iMac 700 MHz Flat Panel to 10.3.9. It has no DVD player. After the fact I took and old Super Drive I had from my old iMac Flat Panel 800 MHz machine and installed it in the iMac 700 MHz flat panel. All is well and the drive works, but no Apple DVD Player. I tried installing DVD player 3.1 and it starts but quits immediately. I tried DVD player 4.6 and it requires Tiger or up to install. I need player 4.0 apparently. I tried to use Pacifist on the 10.3.9 updater and the player is not listed as a stand alone item. I ran the updater and no DVD player appeared. I also tried to run the installer from the 10.3 disk set and there is no option to install the player seperately.
Any ideas out there? My iMac 800 MHz flat panel is running Tiger, so it has an incompatible player. I DO NOT want to update this machine to Tiger as it has a small amount of RAM (256 MB) and Tiger likes more memory.

  • How To Get DVD Player Back?

    I was once dumb about 2 months ago to go under accounts, click on advance options and simply change the name of my account name. I changed it because I didn't like it; it was the first time i've ever done this and had to manual drag and drop everything from an old account to a new one. My Macbook runs perfectly but I have to assume that the one thing I missed during the process was DVD Player...
    Recently I've had to use Front Row only when viewing DVD's. Not the worst thing, but a big downer when I want to surf the web at the same time or work on other apps.
    How I can I get DVD Player back?
    All advice is generously welcome.

    DVD player doesn't live in a particular user account. It sits in the Applications folder at the root level of the hard drive. Migrating from one user account to another could have no effect on it. As mentioned, you can reinstall it from the install DVD using Pacifist. while you wait for your install DVD, you can use [VLC player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html] to play DVDs.

  • How do I get QT player back?

    I accidentally deleted my QuickTime Player and can't figure out how to get it back.  I don't have my OS X disk and going to the apple website and telling it to download QuickTime doesn't get the player back.  What can I do?

    Which System do you have? On the Apple suppot page, there is the QuickTime Player 7.6.9 for download.
    The new QuickTime Player X is just on the install disc.

Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

    Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

  • How do I get flash player on iPad.

    How do I get flash player on iPad?

    Hi chertlfromirwin,
    sorry but to my knowledge of iPad, and the software it is based on, flash is not supported.  There maybe other means you can get Flash to work but these are not supported and if you develop a problem and you take it back to your local Apple Store, the geniuses will refuse to touch it as it is known as "jailbreaking".   In most cases doing this may cause you more problems than it solves.
    Flash is all well and good but HTML5, uses a lot less system resources, it can play video & audio, you can find out more about HTML5 here:
    http://www.apple.com/html5.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do i get OSX LION back on the computer?

    I dropped my laptop and the hard drive is no longer working. I am going to purchase a new hard drive and install it but my question is how do i get OSX LION back on the computer? I will be installing a new bare drive and I heard that Lion is download only. I also want to make sure i get all the apps i had back too. any help or guidance is appreciated. thanks!

    this is my opinion. but in this case, you need to install previous OS that has a dvd, which in my case, i installed Snow Leopard first. it cost 30 dollars new.
    after you have SL operates and do all software updates, you can download lion and install it over snow leopard.
    hope someone here have a better and quicker solution straight to Lion.

  • How can I get Flash Player and install it?

    I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
    When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
    How can I get Flash Player and install it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Barry Karas

    First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
    The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
    Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
    Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
    Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

  • Rented film, fully downloaded (eventually) press play now then screen goes to authorizing, then goes black blank, no film , repeated process 3 times, still no joy. first and last time I rent a film with Apple, how do I get my money back ? Thanks

    Rented film from Apple TV  fully downloaded (eventually) press play now then screen goes to authorizing for 10 mins, then goes black blank, no film , repeated process 3 times, still no joy. first and last time I rent a film with Apple, how do I get my money back ? Thanks

    First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion.  To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4.  What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
    Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content.  Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems.  You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults.  A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
    Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install.  If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

  • If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

    If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

    If you don't have the movie on the old computer and you don't have the movie backed up on a disc somewhere, your only choice is to purchase the movie again. Currently, movie downloads are a one time deal andit is your responsibility to have a backup copy.
    If you have the movie on the other computer still, you can burn it to a DVD and then copy it over to the new computer.
    Personally, I have two computers and when I make a purchase on one, iTunes automatically copies it to the other and I have never lost videos or music in this manner.

    How do I get my calculator back after installing the new iO7 software?

    I'll assume alot here,?but my guess is you installed the new playforsure firmware for the player. If that is the case then you will need the playforsure plug in for the Creative MediaSource Organizer. You can download it on this creative's site under downloads.

  • How do i get my contacts back? they have just dissapeared?!

    how do i get my contacts back, i  just looked at my phone, didnt touch anything and they had just dussapeared! i didnt have a single one left and i dont have a clue how to get them back?!

    Hi sfuentes,
    You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
    If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

  • I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    Hi there
    I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these.  Instead it just took me to the
    adobe page with nowhere visible to update.  I then  sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
    functionality  It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe. 
    I have since remedied the problem as  my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that.  I do feel that this is a bit
    of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
    Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.
    Carlo
