I have apple TV, and apple aux dvd drive, 2 new flat screens, $5,000 worth of hardware and facy technology that apparently will not play a freaking movie... please tell me this isnt true..

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iDVD are you using?
what system version are you running?
how did you create the DVD disk you're trying to play?
what fixes have you tried?
how much free space on your boot drive?
Did you follow this recommended workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

I'm trying to burn my audiobooks on CDs. Got through three books just fine, then my CD/DVD drive "disappeared." I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs.

I'm trying to burn my audiobooks on CDs. Got through three books just fine, then my CD/DVD drive "disappeared." I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs. How can I retrieve this capability? My audiobooks are from Audible.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive. I can't get it to work properly. WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple?

Hello EucaBlue!
So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
Happy tinkering!

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?

All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

Have you tried connecting it with an ethernet cord? It could be a wifi issue.

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

I’ve got a new MacBookair11 2weeks ago and I am very happy with it. Today I’ve tried to synchronize it via icloud with my ipad and I have lost the camera.
Looking through help in internet I found out that I had to reset the SMC. I did exactly as per instructions given but with no luck.
Is there any other solutions that will fix my camera for facetime and iphoto?
Thanks for your help
