I have an external DVD/CD USB - Memorex. Cannot get it to play or the software to run.
I just bought a iMac and I am trying to connect my Memorex USB DVD/CD and play movies and music. Cannot get the iMac to respond to the software or play the CD or DVD?? What am I doing wrong.
Check the devices system specifications to see if the manufacturer claims it's compatible with OS X. If it's not then you will need to replace it. However if it is then do a SMC reset 2-3 times back to back using the directions in:

Then retest, if it still doesn't work try another USB cable and retest.

i have iPhoto 9.1.1 and i cannot upload becaouse when i open the software is is write : you must download iPhoto 9.1.1 or updated..what can i do?
well,
i tried differnt times to upload my iPhoto 9.1.1 but it's impossible. i did one week ago "upgrade software" but i didn't find update for my iphoto 11. so i surfed to apple.it (i'm italian) and i downloaded 9.2 but when i upgraded iphoto there was a warning : you can do this, before you have to install iphoto 9.1.1! But i just have! so it is weird! so i though to install the 9.1 but it was impossible because asked me the version before...
i don't know what i can do!
thanks in advance! -
I have just bought Apple TV 2 and have followed all of the steps as directed. I have set up home sharing so I can watch the files from my MAC on the TV but I cannot get the airplay to stream my Ipad2 to the TV.
I cannot even get my Apple TV to recognise that my Ipad is even on the same network as it as it gives me no options or recognition that it is trying to send the data.
What have I missed to make my Ipad2 stream the screen image onto my TV...?
Frustrated am i with it...!!I took a very quick look at the Owner's Manual for that Router.
Much of this you will already know....but:
1. Its a combination DSL modem/WiFi Router
2. It does not have ariel antennas. My experience, the WiFi tends to perform poorly compared to standalone WiFi units and the WiFi range is also limited thus slower the farther away you get (or Apple TV gets)
3. If you don't have a DSL filter infront of it I recommend using one, even if you don't use phones. DSL comes in the pair as a different frequency and its "probably" best to filter it out anyway.....even though it comes in on a dial tone and a dial tone often exists
4. Let me know who you ISP is and I will find out what other Routers they offer.
5. You can buy pretty much any DSL modem / Router online assuming it supports PPOe which most DSL ISPs use
6. If you have not in fact tried running an Ethernet Cable.....try it.....you can get a 100 footer locally for just a few bucks. It could solve a heart ache -
I have rented a movie from iTunes, but cannot get it to play
The film has downloaded, and on the picture of the film title, there is the word "play" with an arrow. When I click on the word play, nothing happens. I have iTunes 10.5, and iTunes has been happy as a clam, and I can listen to music and audio books...but I cannot play this film!
I appreciate any advice anyone can give!
Thanks,

The Pandora APP is installed on my iPhone5 & works fine except when I am in my new car that also has a Pandora APP. The car doesn't seem to recognize the phone so doesn't connect. My iPhone will act like it is playing Pandora as usual but there is no sound at all when I am in the car. What do I need to do?
Hello Mogulman46,
So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off.
Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini. I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk. I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini. I want to open these documents up from the DVD storage and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your quick response. I should add....it worked before. When I previously inserted the two DVDs into this remote drive, and I went into finder, I could click on the "remote device" line and see all my saved documents (excel, word, etc) on the DVD and open them on the Mac. Now I cannot see them, when I try to open them on the Mac, nothing happens, nothing is displayed. I just re-tested the remote DVD drive with a CD and, no problem, it opened up the CD via iTunes and I cold play the CD. SO......I know the remote DVD drive (it's an LG by the way) is fine, it's something to do with some settings on my mini mac,especially where I could open it previously. I do not remember changing any settings since then.
When I go into system preferences and click on CD/DVD it gives me options of how to open up a music CD (default is iTunes), a DVD (default is iMovie), etc. The problem is my DVD is all miscellaneious files/documents. I just want to be able to see them in the finder. I also tried to open them via microsoft word, from the remote disk and again, it could not open the drive, even though some of the documents were microsoft word documents. Again, I was able to open them previously and the DVD is not corrupted in any way.
Any additional advice?
Thank you! -
My imac is not recognizing any external dvd writer drive. I have imac with Core i7 and Mac OS 10.6.8. I have tried external dvd writers from Samsung and Amazon Essentials but the computer does not recognize any of them. Which Dvd writer is compatible?
I have an external firewire burner; it never shows on the desktop unless I insert a CD or DVD - that icon will then show (if I have my preferences set to show those on the desktop). Hae you checked in Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) to see if it is listed under drives?

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'm trying Facetime with my Mac Mini with OS 10.7.5 and an Acer H243HX monitor (w/ HDMI, USB). I can get the webcam-in , but even with settings in Sounds set to have the input come through the Acer monitor, I still cannot get any sound input into the Mac. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player. i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read. I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd. Any suggestions. I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???
There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video. I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player. The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.
I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project. But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu?
When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options. It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.). You need software that will made a DVD-V disc. Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn. -

I have an external hard drive, can I set a password on this? The drive is already populated with data
ITs an old Iomega 100gb external HD that has about 90gb of music on it. The Macbook has a 500gb HD. I would like to put the iTunes library on the internal HD so I have room to expand.

You can copy it to the internal hard drive as long as it fits on it. How big is your library, and how big is your internal HD?
The only thing you do not want to do is over-stuff the internal hard drive. The OS needs some space to operate correctly, so if your iTunes library uses up more than say 80 to 85% of the internal HD's available space it may not be a good idea to transfer it over.
With that said, the internal HD will provide slightly faster access to the library than the external would, but other than that, you can point iTunes to the external drive just fine. -
I have a new iPhone 4 which I cannot sync until I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes software (version 10.2.2). Upon trying to upgrade, I keep receiving a message which states, "The URL could not be opened." Anyone else had the same problem & does anyone have a solution? Would like to try other easier option(s) before uninstalling & installing newest version.
You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
