How do I play dvd´s in maverick?

Since installing OS 10.9 on my iMac I can not load DVDs anymore. They do not appear in FInder, instead they are ejected after app 30 sec´s. I have tried with new DVDs as well as with older ones that I know has worked before.

How do I play dvds on hp envy touchsmart 15 notebook with an external player and Windows 8.1.

I have a HP Envy Touchsmart 15 NOtebook PC. I bought an external HP DVD player model dvd600s-H01 5 but I cannot play DVDs.

Hi @pattyathome
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with an external dvd player attached to your notebook.
What is the full product number for your notebook? Please read the following if you need help in finding that.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Does your notebook already have a built in dvd drive?
Did you install the drivers and software that came with the external dvd player? If there was originally no DVD player in your notebook, it is likely that there is no dvd player application loaded.
So in that event I would recommend installing from the software disk with the DVD drive.

HT2499 How do I play DVDs on my MacBook Pro?

I just recently got a MacBook Pro and never having owned one before in my life, I put in a DVD thinking it would play and it didn't. A DVD icon showed up on my desktop so I clicked on it and all there was were folders, etc. I didn't know what to do and am completely ignorant when it comes to macs so I was all over the help menus for every "player" in my arsenal. I tried dragging the desktop icon into the quicktime icon at the bottom, but it said that it wasn't found or whatnot. I came here and read about something called a region code, but I can't for the life of me figure out what they are, where they are, or how to use them, etc.

Sounds like you purchased a used Mac that the previous owner left in a mess.
If it is used, hold the Option button down and click on the Apple at the upper left. Choose System Information. From the app that comes up, copy only the top four lines and paste them into a new post here. Like this:
Model Name:
Mac Pro
Model Identifier:
MacPro5,1
Processor Name:
6-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:
3.33 GHz
That's all we need to see exactly what model you have so the answers you get from this point won't be based on things you can't do.

How do I play DVDs through Apple TV on my HD TV?

I need some basic help please.
I own a large collection of movie DVDs. These are conventional pre-recorded DVDs that I purchased in retail stores. I would like to play them on my flat screen HD TV.
If I purchase Apple TV (don't currently own), what additional equipment will I need to be able to play my DVDs through Apple TV? And, what are my options for physically or wirelessly connecting?
I have been researching this question, but the answers I find are not clear. Are there some writeups that would explain my options, configurations?
Thank you,
Dale

There is currently no official way to do this.
iTunes cannot rip DVDs as it can CDs to play across your local network.
While there is software out there that can potentially rip DVD and convert to an AppleTV compatible format, this would potentially require circumventing encryption on DVDs on commercial DVDs - as such this could be technically illegal in your country and Apple's T&Cs for the forum therefore prevent discussions of methods of circumventing copy protection, even if for 'fair use' with DVDs you have purchased.
The next Mac OS X version supposedly has Airplay to send computer video to AppleTV but whether it will work on all machines or just new ones (in a similar way to features not always working on older iPhones etc) we do not know. Also we do not know if things like the DVD player app or certain website content will be precluded from Airplay if the copyright holder disables Airplay functionality in the website markup.

How do I watch DVDs when using my macbook as a remote drive for my new iMac?

My new iMac does not have a DVD drive ( something which I just assumed it would have!). I have connected it to my old macbook using CD/DVD sharing, however, although it recognises the DVD in the Macbook, it makes the DVD player crash and iTunes won't import it - how do I play DVDs this way?

Oh right!, I was told that it didn't matter that I didn'y have the drive as I could use my macbook - is this information wrong?... (I was told this by someone at Apple and so just thought I was being thick)

How can I play .avi files, how can I play .avi files

how can I play >avi files on Mavericks?

This did solve my question. I'm not happy with the actions necessary to get the avi file to play, but it works. I was delivering a presentation with an embedded avi video file to a workplace audience and all of a sudden the transition from powerpoint is not "seamless" anymore, but it is better than not having the movie presentation.
Mavericks is not a big improvement for me, and this is not the first cumbersome step I've encountered. I would not recommend a leam to Mavericks unless there is something you really need. It's not all Apple's fault, as third party app providers are not keeping their product up -to-date, but we don't have computers for the fancy OS, we have it for the apps.

How do I play play a dvd from my mac and send to apple tv

Just got my Apple tv for my new Imac everything works fine. How do I play a dvd on my mac and send to apple tv

If you mean a commercial DVD you have bought, then you can't. They are usually copy protected and removing the protection is illegal in most countries, so we cannot help you do that.
If it is a personal DVD that you own the copyright on, then you can convert it to iPad format using Handbrake. Handbrake will not convert copy protected, commercial DVDs.

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

How can I view DVD's that I dubbed from old vhs tapes? I finalized them and can play on other DVD players but not my IMac. Is there a specific program?

I dubbed DVD's from old VHS tapes. I finalized them and can play tehm on differant DVD players, but on my IMac I can't play them. Ultimately I want to create home movies with pics, but how can I play the DVD's?

A DVD is a DVD, unless it's been authored in a non-standard way. When you insert it in your Mac, do you at least see the disk appear on the desktop? Does it have a VIDEO_TS folder in it, containing various files?
If you open DVD Player manually (from the Applications folder), does it see it and start playing? If not, try downloading VLC (free) and see if that works.

HT2499 how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title?

how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title

Play all chapters, i mean.
I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.
OS 10.4.
Macbook 6
Thanks so much!

How can I play my ipad through my dvd player

How an I play my ipad music through my dvd player or hi fi?

If you're just looking to play audio, the easiest way is to buy an AirPort Express and connect your stereo to the miniplug jack, then play using AirPlay. That's how I do it! And as an added bonus, it can extend your wireless network.

An AppleTV would work too, if you're also looking to stream video.

HT5517 how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

Welcome to the Apple Community Jorge.
Firstly you will need your Mac to support Mirroring...
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
AirPlay Mirroring from a Mac also requires a fairly robust network.
Then you will need to use a 3rd party DVD player such as VLC since the Apple DVD Player software doesn't permit AirPlay Mirroring.

How can I play my itunes music files on my internet radio? Is there an App for iPad or iMac?
Thanks
ursulaanna

Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.
