I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?
"I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
How? Using what equipment/software?
"The DVD plays on the device on which it was recorded."
Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions. -
I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise? During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

How do you get an audio CD to play on a MacBook Pro?
I've actually looked around the site and see others have had the same problem with their mac, unfortunately I don't have the technical expertise or the time to get stuck into the long winded and confusing steps required to sort this problem. There is no option for me to email an Apple worker and I didn't particularly want to post this here, but it seems it's either this or wait two days to have Apple call me... Not what I want at all.
I have a Macbook Pro 13" late 2011, running OSX 10.7.2, which is two months old and in perfect condition. I upgraded from a Toshiba Satellite which cost me under £300 in 2008 and was excellent when it came to playing CDs... Funnily enough.
After paying £999 on an admittedly fantastic laptop I am rather appalled that such an expensive piece of kit would be incapable of playing audio CDs when iTunes seems to be one of the largest selling points of the Macintosh. I am wondering if this fault is intentional as it may force iTunes users to resort to the iTunes store rather than importing CDs?
I'm not expecting a solution to be posted on this thread, at least not one which I am capable of utilising, this is merely an attempt at venting my frustration over the issue seeing as I can't find an option to email Apple directly.
However if anyone reads this and knows of a solution that doesn't involve buying any extra kit (£999 seems to be enough for something to play CDs) or require in depth know-how then that would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
ByronHi, and thanks for getting back to me.
My settings are to open iTunes when an audio CD is inserted and in iTunes my settings are to import it.
With all due respect I'm unwilling to entertain the idea that my drive is faulty, it's only been used a couple of times (plays DVDs perfectly, and I've doubled checked that tonight after the computer failed to recognise audio CDs) and the laptop itself so far has been thoroughly well looked after.
I've looked around the net and there seem to be plenty of people with the same problem as me, it seems unlikely that their machines were all shipped with faulty drives.
From what I understand it seems to be that audio CDs that have the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo printed on the box have no problem playing on a Mac but CDs without that logo will not show up in iTunes or Finder. But going through my collection of CDs none of them seem to have the logo printed on them so perhaps that's an old standard? In which case this issue is a major shortfall of the Macintosh. However my opinion is far from expert and in any case I'm just speculating. The whole issue is confusing and frustrating and I do thank you very much for taking the time to post your help.
Best regards

ITunes Purchases no longer play on Authorised MacBook Pro
This is on my MacBook Pro 15, with iLife 08 and Leopard - ALL BANG UP-TO-DATE
Some of my Purchases (Not the most recent, nor the oldest) have stopped playing. I get the Apple User Authorise banner, asking for my password. I put the password in - it must be the correct password, i have verified it - and after a 20 second delay, I get an error message:
*THERE WAS AN ERROR STORING YOUR AUTHORIZATION DATA ON THIS COMPUTER, The required Directory was not found or has a permissions error, Correct the permissions and try again, or deauthorise this computer*
I have tried everything, I cannot deauthorise, since the process of this brings the same error message.
I do have Time Machine - would this help?
Message was edited by: Philly14I don't think this is anything that TimeMachine can fix. but anytime you get a message regarding a permissions issue, as Jim VanLeeuwen suggested, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. You can use the Disk Utility from your Applications/Utilities folder.

Purchased music from I-tunes will no longer play when I hit play. The message "music file cannot be located" pops up and then takes me to some other file system. Does anybody know what to do? I have already tried to make sure that my Itunes player is default and that is not the problem.
Help!You get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you? -

You can although did it not also identify a troubleshooting document for you to use? The package for support option will simply make the installation log available for Adobe employees to review. If you would like to respond with your token number I would be happy to look at the log file.
Alternately you can follow the directions listed in Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. This is exactly the same process which I would use to review your installation log. -
Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the files.
Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the VOB files. I tried to change the extension to AVI and then drag it in. It works but it's distorted. All the heads in the photo are narrow and tall. Can anyone help me figure this thing out? I'm sooo frustrated! Thanks
I assume these came from a DVD? Was this DVD an encrypted holywood DVD or a home video that you got of something like sky diving? You'll probably need photoshop extended to switch pixel aspect ratios. Or convert them into a format that photoshop understands with a 1.0 pixel aspect ratio. Do you have access to adobe media encoder?

Tried to open an app and my iPad gen one froze. It only shows the apple on black screen and will show the operating wheel sometimes and while plugged in it will beep every few minutes. Will not load one show anything on screen but the small white apple.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode. -
Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.
Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen
Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

How can I have one thing open in Safari on my MacBook Pro and search for another thing in Safari without closing out of the other? For instance, How can I leave Pandora playing while I search Facebook?
With Safari open use the Command + T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab.
Or, Command + N to open a new window.
