HT2499 what do i do if dvd player does not open in its own

if i put in the dvd nothing happens, how do i get it to play when no menu opens up?

If the DVD plays when you open Apple's DVD Player application and hit play, and you want the application to always open, go to Apple menu -> System Preferences CDs & DVDs to change the default application to open DVDs. If it doesn't show up at all, see this tip on making it visible at least in the Finder:

Apple DVD player does not open a DVD burnt in DVD in Studio Pro 4

After I burn a DVD in SP4 and I insert the dvd player in my Apple Power Mag G5, the dvd just gets rejected. When I play it in a dvd player or a regular pc it plays? Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

these problems are well documented, use the search functions for plenty of solutions

HT2499 I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):

Dvd player does not work after Leopard upgrade

I installed Leopard, had to upgrade because my printer died and no printers now work with Tiger. Since the upgrade, my DVD player does not work. I have problems burning some cd's too. Is this a known issue? What is the fix?

I have read a couple of complaints like that, but not sure it's widespread.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
If that does NOT help, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
If that does NOT help then I suspect the optical drive or media itself, or possibly just needs a cleaning CD run on it.

DVD Player does not launch

When I insert DVD's, even commercial ones, into my MacBook Pro, DVD Player does not automatically launch even though I checked "When a disc is inserted, start playing disc" in DVD Player's preferences. DVD Player works, however, when I manually launch it after inserting a disc. Also, sometimes the disc drive will not load the disk completely until I press "Eject". Any thoughts?

In System Preferences/CDs & DVDs have you set "When you insert a video DVD" to 'Open DVD Player' ?

Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer does not open most of the time

I have a Satellite Pro A300-1NH laptop. The DVD drawer does not open most of the time. Occasionally it does, but most of the time it does not.
Sometimes if I manage to get a DVD/CD into the drawer to burn something to, the burn works.
Most of the time the computer does not recognise that there is a disc there, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.
Can anyone tell a novice what I need to do to sort this out please?

Have you noticed this when you try to open drawer using eject button in the drawer itself?
Almost every player has integrated eject button. Can the drawer be opened using this eject button?

Satellite L500-126 - CD/DVD drive does not open very smoothly

Hi,
I just got my second Satelite L500-126.
I exchanged my first one for a new one because the ESC key got stuck sometimes and made a squeaking sound.
Now with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very smoothly and 2 little silver metal bars come out with the drive when I open it.
Is this normal?
Also, when I close the dvd drive i hear a little "ping!" sound.
Like a spring or something. Is this also normal?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Im not quite sure what you mean by 2 little silver metal bars but my notebooks drive contains two metals (runners, trackage).
This is normal and these parts are important to ensure that the drive could eject properly and could stay in right position.
You will always hear an short click opening and closing the drive.
So I assume this is ok.

Installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5, now my DVD player does not work. Ideas?

I installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro, OS 10.7.5. Now my DVD player will not work. Any ideas?

Problem solved. Yes, it was a coincidence. The problem had to do with my DVD preferences, not the Adobe installation. Thanks for your reply.

DVD Player does not play a DVD

My DVD player can play commercial DVD without any problem.
I use a DVD Video Recorder to burn a DVD. I finalised it confirmed it can be played in my Windows PC PowerDVD version 6 OEM edition.
When I put it in my PBG4 superdrive, the DVD Player could be launched automatically. However, it says "Supported Disc Not Available". Checked Disc Region is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and my Drive is in Region 3 with 4 changes left.
Any idea?
PowerBook G4 1.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) DVD Player App version 4.6.5, Framework version 4.6.6

If you burned a DVD-RW, the DVD Player might not recognize it. In this case, use a different brand of DVD-RW or a DVD-R disk.

DVD player does not play - Error message "Create Overlay Failed

Can anyone please help. The player on my Equium does not playback any DVDs using either InterVideo WinDVD. Error message "Create Overlay Failed ... Please lower your screen resolution or screen depth." Any help appreciated. Thanks Owen

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of VLC Player. I had no idea what VLC is but it seems a safe (and free) feature. I googled it and downloaded latest version for XP. All DVDs now play perfectly! Still no joy with other players but who cares. Many thanks, full marks. Owen

DVD Player Does Not Play DVDs

I recently bought HBO DVDs and it does not play in my Apple system. I have an error that states, "this format is not supported" what is wrong? or codec issues?

Without going into a huge tirate about motive behind this from different companies. Just download this player and it should work for you.

DVD player does not show images

Hi,
This could have been added to a recent post, but it is somewhat different.
When I insert one of my own DVDs, DVD player plays the music all right but no image...unless I request to open DVD media in the menu.
Can someone help and tell me why is it not doing it automatically as it did with my previous OS version ? What should I do ?
Thanks in advance
Ivan

Done....
Did not change a thing !
Furthermore when I open the media VIDEO TS from my DVD, it is loading but the controler does not allow me to do anything; just inactive; I just hear the music that is on the home page of the DVD
Thanks in advance

DVD Player does not show all subtitles available

I am posting this in the OS X Tiger forum, because I could not find a forum dedicated to DVD Player.
I am looking for a way to access "hidden" subtitle languages. I know that probably doesn't make sense. Here is what I mean:
Most DVDs have a page that lets you select a subtitle language (English, Spanish, French). However, if I play a DVD on the Toshiba DVD player connected my TV and I press the "subtitle" button on the remote, a pop-up window appears on the screen that usually shows many more language options than are available on the subtitle page. (Japanese, Indonesian, Chinese, etc.)
Is there a way to access these "hidden" subtitle languges with Apple's DVD player? (I have ver. 4.6.5)

Hi, Clinto.
I've not used that option, but it it exists then you would use the method described in the DVD Player Help topic "Showing subtitles in movies."
In DVD Player, select Help > DVD Player Help. In the resulting Help Viewer window, type "showing subtitles" in the search field in the top border, press Return, then double-click the "Showing subtitles in movies" topic in the search results. Follow the instructions in that DVD Player Help document.
Good luck!
