I can't watch DVD movie on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011). Why?

i have a Macbook pro 13"
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Processor 2.3GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I tried to mount a DVD movie disc into my macbook but it automatically ejects without running.
My mac has Windows on bootcamp. The disc wouldn't run on windows as well.
Is there any problem with my mac? I rmb i could watch DVD on my mac. 

Hey lilnaix,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are experiencing issues with the SuperDrive on your MacBook Pro. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting information.
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/HT2801
While you should definitely give the entire article a read, I have highlighted a particular section that may resolve your issue:
Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
1. Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
2. Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
3. Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
4. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
5. Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
- OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
- OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
6. If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Can I install one 8 GB ram in a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).

    Can I install one 8 GB ram in a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).  The other slot is not working, I have only one slot that works. It is stated in this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link1 , that the maximum memory is 8 GB where every slot slot has 4 Gb.  Is there any problem if i install only one 8 Gb ram in the working slot ?

    You should be able to do that.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Understand that there is no guarantee it will work, but based on the above it should work for you.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
    Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file.

  • Can a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2008

    I currently have a MacBook Pro 15 inch, Early 2008
    Software: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    I want to know if my laptop if capable of upgrading it's memory to 8GB? It currently has 2 GB but in order for a certain software program to run, it's requiring a laptop device with 8 GB, so I'm trying to decide if this laptop is capable of doing such or if I need to purchase a newer laptop.

    It can run 6GB. If the computer has 8GB installed and more than 4GB is in use at any given time, it'll slow down so much that it becomes unusable.

  • How much ram can my MacBook Pro 15 Inch, Early 2008 2.4 Core Duo 2 Take? 3 or 4 GB?

    My MacBook Pro 15 Inch is a early 2008 model.
    It is a 2.4 Core 2 Duo.
    I'm confused if it can take a max of 3 or 4 GB RAM.  Right now it has 2 GB.
    First question:  Can it take 3 or 4?
    Second question:  Will I notice an increase in speed?
    BTW - I checked the Apple document on removing/installing memory - but the matrix where my early 2008 15 inch is covered is confusing and it seems it would fall into either the 3 or 4 - depending on how your read it.

    Get the free MacTracker, it will give more accurate RAM information than the manual, as the manual get printed with the current RAM being sold, not the new stuff, so your Mac could possibly hold more.
    Yes your computer will be faster at some things with more RAM, but like a car, many parts also have to be fast, the CPU, the GPU, the hard drive speed, bus speed etc.
    Some things you can change, other things you can't and sometimes you need to backup your files and wipe the disk and reinstall everything all over again.
    Sometimes it's a slow Internet, or slow wifi network or something running on your machine.
    Host of issues cause slowdowns, this might be one of them

    Nope - you're stuck with the Intel 4000. If you wanted a higher-performance GPU, you should have bought a 15".

  • How Can i Transfer dvd movie files using quicktime pro

    I bought quicktime pro under the impression that you can convert dvd movie files into ipod format if anybody has an answer please respond!!!!????

    QuickTime Pro can't even view DVD formats without some help.
    DVD's are "protected" with CSS software encryption and can't be viewed with the Pro version of QT.
    Find some third party software (hundreds of apps) by looking and searching through the iPod Discussions pages.
