I can't get a dvd to play on my new iMac?

I inserted a dvd into my imac and it asked me to change the country code as the dvd code and the imac didn't match. I changed it to you US or North America, whatever the code was and I still can't play the DVD. Any idea why? Can't I use this as a dvd player.

I just figured it out. Somehow I didn't change it to the correct code of 1. So on the second shot of 5 allowed I realized I didn't change and save. Now the dvd played.

Can't get a DVD to play on my MacBook Pro

This is the first time I have been unable to get a DVD to play on my MacBook Pro

Is there a region on the DVD box? Most for the us are region 1.
Does the DVD dive play other DVDs right now?

Can't get HP DeskJet 3940 to work with new iMac

I have an iBook G4 and a brand new iMac sitting next to each other. The iBook has no difficulty seeing and printing to an HP DeskJet 3940 printer in another room via an Aiport Express module. When I turn Airport OFF on the iBook and turn it ON on the iMac, the same printer is visible to the iMac but when I go to Add it into Bonjour I get an "error -9672 Unable to connect to printer" message. The new Intel iMac apparently comes with knowledge of the HP 3000 series but to no avail. So I downloaded and reinstalled all "universal" software and drivers available from HP online regarding this printer and the same error message occurs. I Spotlighted '-9672' and it pointed to a header file in Xcode that defined the error as an XML problem but I'm not sure if it relates to my problem or is merely coincidental. I tried using the Airport Express module with someone else's Epson printer and it worked fine so that module is not the problem. I hate when this sort of thing happens...

According to the list of printer drivers included with Mac OS X Tiger Intel there were drivers included for two models of the HP DJ 3940 printer. It was version 3.3, but I see that is also what you probably downloaded and installed from the HP website, so no issue there.
These instructions from Mac Help in the Finder Help menu are what you have tried? Have you tried connecting the printer directly to you new iMac first and solving any direct printing problems before printing through your LAN with the AP Express?
Connecting a USB printer to an AirPort base station
If you have an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base station, you can share a USB printer with other computers on your network, whether they connect to the network wirelessly or with a cable. The other computers must use Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later.
Follow the directions that came with your printer to set it up and install the necessary software on your computer.
Connect the printer to the USB port on your computer, and then print a test page. If you need help, click the link below.
Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort base station.
If you're setting up an AirPort Express for the first time, connect the printer to the >AirPort Express before setting up the base station.
Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
In the Printer pop-up menu, choose Bonjour and then choose your printer.
If you don't find your printer, choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and then click More Printers. Select your printer and then click Add.
When you select your printer in the More Printers dialog, Mac OS X finds the printer's driver and adds the printer to the Printer pop-up menu. If Mac OS X cannot find the printer driver, "Driver not Installed" or "Gimp-print" appears in the model pop-up menu.
Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.
You may not see error or status messages when using a printer connected to an AirPort base station. For example, you may not see messages like “Out of Paper” or “Printer Busy."
To use the printer utilities that came with your printer, check the status of ink cartridges, or set the printer's resolution, disconnect the printer's USB cable from the AirPort base station and connect it to your computer.

I can't get Creative Cloud Desktop installed on my new iMac

I bought a new iMac. It's running Mac OS X 10.9.2.
1. I backed up everything on the old mac.
2. I uninstalled all Adobe Creative Cloud apps on the old mac.
3. I used Apple Migration Assistant to transfer all data from the old mac to the new mac.
4. I downloaded and installed Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop on the new mac.
5. I clicked on the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop icon at the top of the screen. (upper right)
6. A window popped open, save "Creative Cloud" written on a black ground, then were nothing in the window. The window is blank. I wasn't asked to accept the terms of use. There is no "home", "apps", "files", "fonts" "behance" options. There's nothing.
Everything other time I've installed Creative Cloud Desktop, the first question is to accept the terms of use. In this case, there was nothing - just an empty window. Also, the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop icon at the top of the screen is light grey. It turns black after the user accepts the terms of use. The icon at the top of my screen is always light grey.
What can I do to fix this?

Ok, got it. What did I do?
# Uninstall Adobe Cloud Application
# Delete the folders
- Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
- Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater
- Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory
- Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
# started Photoshop, an error comes up and I reinstalled the Adobe Application Manager
# installed the Adobe Cloud Application
# restarted the mac
Adobe CC up and running

How can I get Soundbooth back to work on my new iMac?

A while ago I managed to download Photoshop CS on my new iMac computer, which worked fine, as well as Soundbooth. Then out of the blue, adobe asked me for my registration number in order to use Soundbooth. I only had one number, but it was no good (anymore).
Because I needed to work with Soundbooth straight away, I chose the option to use a 30 day trial version, that has now expired. Whenever I try to start up Soundbooth, I am reminded of this, and my registration number is still no good.
I need to work with Soundbooth real soon, I own this product, but I seem to have lost the possibility to get access. Please help me out here!
Thanks,
Gerrie

registration numbers don't expire. what message do you see when trying to use your serial number?

How can I get a song to play automatically on a web page ? iWeb 1.1.2

Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
Change loop="false" to loop="true"
Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!
