I put a DVD into my MacBook Pro and the computer does not read it. what do I do?

I have a DVD with a bunch of home movies on it. When I put the DVD into my MAcBook Pro so it would burn to my computer, nothing appeared. It made a lot of noise but nothing happend to the screen. I need help!!

Try the DVD on a console DVD player or another computer.  If plays, your super drive may need replacing.  Just trying to diagnose what's not working

    You can use AirPlay to display your MacBook screen on the Apple TV, but that depends on your MacBook - About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion

    Do you mean when the water was spilled on it, it shut down?  That would indicate a major internal short occured.
    Really, I'd say you need to take it into Apple or an Apple authorized repair center and get it looked at.  Odds are you've got a significantly damaged device that will require professional repair and parts replacement to get working again.

  • I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either.  I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

    I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either.  I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
    3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
    9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    10. Reset the NVRAM.
    11. Reset the SMC.
    12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
    13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • I bought a new MacBook Pro (Mac Os 10.8.4) when conecting my mobile broadband dongle (Huawei E122) the computer does not read it at all. I do not have problems when connecting it to my former computer (PC) and a Mac from last year. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Yes, I did that. They have uppgrades for the dongles, but just untill Mac Os 10.7. Their solution is to buy a new modem from them or getting one for free if I sign a contract for 24 months! So, i think from that side not very helpful.
    It is just that I do not want to buy a new modem, when it works in quite recent computers and after having spent money in the new Mac.
    But thank you for your reply!

    Hold down the mouse button when shutting down,  If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.

  • Upgraded iMac to ML but not my MacBook Pro and the MBP will not print wirelessly

    Upgraded iMac to ML and can print wirelessly to HP5200C, but Mac Book Pro, which is not yet upgraded to ML will not.

    Do you have the latest HP drivers, available from Apple here, on your MBP?
    I see that the HP Deskjet 5520 series are supported...

  • I just bought an apple macbook online. but the computer will not boot up what so ever. what am I suppose to do? should I just bring it into apple? or call tech support?

    What should I do?

    Not sure where you purchase your MacBook from, though you'd better call Apple tech suppost first then take it to Apple Store Genius Bar.

  • I have to use a wireless mouse with my MacBook Pro because the touchpad does not consistently work.  Now, the wireless mouse is not consistently staying connected.  Any ideas??

    Why doesn't my Apple wireless remote remain connected?  It is frequently giving me a "lost connection" signal and since the touch pad works intermittently it has become frustrating.

  • I have recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro and the battery will not charge

    When the magsafe adapter is connected. Has anyone else got this problem. N.B. The charging icon in the top right hand corner only displays the words (Not Charging)
    I have been told by Apple Care to try a PRAM reset and a SMC reset, but the light on the mag safe never turns amber, just stay lit green.

    Hi...
    At least try some troubleshooting before taking the Mac in...  these are very easy procedures to follow.
    Try here >  Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
    And definitely try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

  • Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated the system to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. Why and what am I supposed to do?

    Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?

    cwhargrave,
    have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
    If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.

  • I could not inset DVD into my Macbook pro CD-Driver. How could I insert it/

    I could not inset DVD into my Macbook pro CD-Driver. How could I insert it/

    try ejecting the drive incase there is something inside. if you are trying to say that the drive won't read DVDs that are inserted then you have a slightly larger problem. also if you do not hear a noise of some sort after seeing the eject symbol on the screen your optical drive may be broken or unresponsive in either case make an appointment with the apple store
