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 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 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.

While creating a project in Garage Band my sample tracks were cut short then overwritten in soundtrack pro. Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?

While creating a project in Garage Band 09 my sample tracks were being cut short- I then discovered they had been overwritten in soundtrack pro.
Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?
I never opened soundtrack pro to edit the track just Garage band....the track just mysteriously saved as half the track.
I am running Lion and I upgraded my Garage band to '11 hoping it would resolve the issue...it didn't. Now I can't find that tracks at all.
The 2 songs having the issue are titled Exotic Yearning and Reunion.
I am in the process of reinstalling the audio content from my discs. I just don't want to run into this again.
Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

After spending some time reinstalling the soundtrack pro 3 content I opened the full track called Reunion.
It showed back up in Garage Band.*It was the full track and wasn't chopped off until I dragged it onto the project. Then it showed up chopped.
Then I closed Garaged band and opened soundtrack pro 3....The song was again chopped off at the 1:33min mark
Very Frusterated...:(

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting. Then re-setup the iPod with your account/media. To redownload iTunes purchases see:

The last version of Firefox would go to a choice box when a new screen came up. I can't figure out how to get that feature back in Firefox 4

For example. When checking spam in Gmail.....if I ask to delete all spam mail.....the cursor would automatically go to the box that pops up asking for confirmation. I can't figure out how to get that feature back. Otherwise everything works great!

I have the same problem getting into Mozilla. Occasionally it comes up when I click on it, but most times it does not. The hour glass stays on for a couple of seconds, then goes off.

Photos in photo stream...
You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
Photos in the camera roll...
If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s. It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone. They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone. Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back? Thanks!

I updated via my iPhone 4s. The apps were on my iPhone 4s. That's all the information that I have. The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc. But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts. No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc. They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone. Thanks.

Hi Gary gar,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the options at the bottom of the Music application may have been edited. You can click the More section on the far right, then choose Edit in the top right. You can then drag any options you want to that bottom bar and rearrange them.

Tired of tapping More? To rearrange the buttons, tap More, then tap Edit and drag a button onto the one you want to replace.
Have a great day,

How to reinstall DVD Player?

Hi everyone -
For some reason my DVD Player (4.6.5) wasn't playing my DVDs (originals, not copied) and kept giving me the error message "Supported Disc Not Available".
So I trashed the DVD player and emptied the trash. I downloaded the DVD player off the Apple site and tried to reinstall, but it says that it can't reinstall since a newer version exists on my HD.
Any thoughts on how to remove DVD player completely and reinstall?
Thanks!

Yangster:
Glad your issue is resolved.
Let me reiterate what Steve said that you do not delete applications as a remedy. Re-installing when there are problems in the system does not necessarily remove the problems, and may create more.
If you don't mind, please take a moment to mark any posts that were helpful or led to your solutions, if there are any.
Good luck.
