I used to be able to play blu rays, but after the reinstall I don't have winDVD any more

I own a Toshiba Satellite A505-6965. When I first got the laptop I had all these toshiba items on there. Recently I had to reinstall and reformat my laptop losing all toshiba items. I used to have winDVD and now I don't have it nor can I find it.I was also able to play blu-ray, but everytime I try to install winDVD BD for toshiba it tells me I have to have a previous version of WinDVD first. Where is winDVD?

It looks like you posted this over a month ago, so I don't know if you got your issue resolved, but I was just having the same exact issue. My hard drive was corrupted and I had to have it replaced, but when I got my computer back no WinDVD, even though it originally came pre-installed with the computer. I eventually found this in the forums...

The one thing I found was that the update still didn't work. However, I have Toshiba Alerts set up, so when I restarted my computer, an alert popped up that an update was available. Actually the update was more recent (by a couple days only) than the one posted online. That update worked fine and I know can play blu-rays again on my computer.

Am I able to play blu-ray disks on this Satellite L755?

I have received a driver Alert which should enable me to play Blu Ray disks.
Downloading does not work on my L755.
Am I able to play blu ray on this machine?

Thanks. I have Satellite L755 Model TAIS Model Number PSK2YE-0MX014EN.
I understood when I bought the laptop that I could not play Blu-ray, but the repeated "Alert" seems to promise otherwise:
"This software provides you the capability to play back Blu-ray discs"
Shame....

My Blu-ray drive will play Blu-rays but won't recognize DVDs or CDs

Hi I have a Pavilion dv6 recently had a problem and I restored it back to factory settings. Thing is before I did this I tried making recovery discs. It made it through the first, then half way through the second, but said the second one was full then when I tried to put another disc in it wouldn't recognize it. I took the comp back to factory settings, but the problem still persists. My Blu-ray play is the HP BD-ROM BDCTD03HA . I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I can provide any other info if needed.

I forgot to mention I have tried just about everything and so far nothing has worked. Please I just want my dvd player back!

HT1551 I've set up our Apple TV and we used it with no issues for a time but after the first month we have never been able to use it. Upon purchasing a movie it says that it is downloading the movie then shuts down.

I have had our media company to see what the problem is a few times but with no success. Anyone able to assist or direct me so that I can once again use my Apple TV?

I would grab a micro usb cable and restore in iTunes. Or you can take it in to a local Apple store/reseller.

I used to be able to open pdf-files but then all of a sudden I have problem opening them. Why? I have already tried all the steps in Troubleshooting.

I have also recently installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Could that be the reason?

Because you had the printer connected to Windows, the print queue on your Mac was for this connection. With you moving the printer away from the Windows computer, the print queue on the Mac will no longer work and will show offline. So for the new connection of the printer you have to create a new print queue.
Now the question is; how is the printer connected to the Mac. If it is connected by USB to the Mac then it should appear in the Default Add Printer view. If it is connected to the Mac via some other method, then could you reply with how it is connected.
If it is connected to the Mac by USB then the most likely cause for the printer not appearing in the Default Add Printer view is thenUSB printer cable. So try disconnecting it and reconnecting it or even try another USB printer cable.

HT1152 All this help info tells me to use idvd, but I can't get it to open. I asked the applecare guy and he says the new macs don't include idvd any more, so why do all the menu and help items say to use it? I know there's other dvd burner software, wh

I want to burn my imovie to a dvd. All the help info says to use idvd but I can't get it to open. The applecare guy said idvd is no longer included in new macs, so why are all the instructions still saying to use it? Is one of the other software offerings, like dvd Cfreator for Mac, ok to use for this? What's the best one?

Please clarify what you mean by "you can't get it to open". Is iDVD on your system or not? If this is a new iMac, iDVD is no longer bundled with new Macs, so the application just isn't there and hence of course can't be opened. You can still purchase it as part of the retail iLife '11 box, though, if you want it, and it would be less expensive than DVD Creator (which I have no experience with), even though you'll get some redundant applications.

The sound is playing up on my i-pad 2.It works thru the headphone jack and onlt spasmodically thru the speaker. When playing videos, music or utube the volue up/down slider isnt there any more. Help!

My i-pad 2 speaker sound has started playing up.
Sound works fine thru headphone jack but only some times thru the speaker.
Volume control on the ipad doesnt work and the on-screen slider volume controller is missing on apps like music, videos and u-tube.
After I have flaffed around with it I can get the slider back for a while but then it will just disappear and sound stops from speaker.
Any advice appreciated.

I had the exact same issue with my iPhone 4S. The news I got from Apple was that the internal sound card was malfunctioning, and they replaced the phone for free (still under warranty). Hopefully, this is not whats happened to you, but the symptoms are the same :/

Firefox used to remember my Clickbank username and pw but after a reinstall it no longer does

Had to reinstall Firefox after a computer crash and it no longer prompts me for my clickbank login and password - it always did before.

The https://www.clickbank.com/login.htm website uses autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

Playing blu-rays using VLC

I have the latest iMac running Yosemite and wanted to be able to play blu ray discs using a Freecom mobile blu-ray writer, so I downloaded VLC media player (latest Mac OS X version 2.1.5), a free software that is supposed to do that and more. The problem is that when I try to play a blu ray, I get the message "Blu-ray error. This Blu-ray Disc needs a library for AACS decoding, and your system does not have it."
I found various suggestions on the internet for Mac-users with older operating systems, but they were complicated to follow and I am concerned that they may not work with Yosemite.
Could anyone kindly tell me where I can get a clear explanation as to what I should do to be able to play blu rays using VLC with Yosemite? Thank you!

Other posters here have bought Sansung drives and complained that they wouldn't work, either.
I have been to the Samsung website on several occasions to research this issue and I can find no evidence that these drives are Mac compatible.
I believe that no optical drive from Samsung is compatible with Macs.
Here are some Blu-ray drives that are known to be Mac compatible.
Return the drive you have and try these.

Toshiba F755-S5219 wont play blu rays

Hi,
I have a Qosmio F755-S5219 with a built in Blu Ray player. I had been able to play blu rays including 3D blu rays.
I recently updated to the newest Nvidia driver and Toshiba Blu Ray player (1.05.130) and have been unable to play blu rays ever since.
DVDs play fine.
I tried reinstalling blu ray player and super ic software.
I tried reinstalling original display driver, blu ray player software and Super IC
I reinstalled current version of BIOS
I tried reupdating to Ver 1.05.130 and current nVidia Display driver.
I just tried updating to 1.05.207
DVDs always work, but blu rays auto open the toshiba player then go to a blank screen with 00:00:00 and stop
Blu Rays play fine in ArcSoft total Theater 6. So it is clearly and issue with The Toshiba software.
I contacted toshiba tech support, and the first level told me to do the same things I've done and Level 3 said they would charge me for any more help.
Any Ideas would be appriciated.
(and yes I've tried FIX IT)

Hi
The WinDVD BD was preinstalled on notebooks which are equipped with an BD drive.
The notebook seems to be an Toshiba Australian series and I found all the drivers and tools here:
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/qosmio/f60/pqf65a-00y002/download
There you can see that an WinDVD 8 Blu-ray Player Update is available for download but for models with Blu-ray.
If you are still using the original Toshiba Windows system, then you could try to set the notebook back to factory settings using the HDD recovery option or Recovery disk (you have to create such disk) and then can check if WinDVD BD would appear as preinstalled software.

I use to be able to play my videos in my playlist on my itouch

i use to be able to play my videos on my itouch i had on my itunes playlist need help

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

This should solve the problem
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
It will not erase any of your personal data, just reset the settings.
Hope this helps.

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

I used to be able to play blu rays, but after the reinstall I don't have winDVD any more
