Installing Wii gaming system and DVD player

How do I install my Wii gaming system and DVD player? I have an old floor model tv. Prior to Fios, I used a RF audio/video modulator. I still have old movies that my kids want to watch. Thanks! I'm not purchasing a new tv when the old one still works.
Solved!

Fios should not change anything when it comes to your DVD player or Wii. If you don't have the connectors for everything I would suggest something like a RCA splitter. I take it you dont have a HDTV.

Using OS X 10.8.4. Installed iLife 11 to get iDVD. iMovie ready to burn through iDVD. Attempted burn. iDVD says burn is complete. Burn lines are on DVD R. Same disk cannot be read and is considered blank by computer and DVD player. How do I burn properly?

Hello TchrDi,
I suggest this article named Archived - iDVD: Troubleshooting issues with burning discs found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1583.
It is pretty lengthy, but also pretty thorough.

after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

Uninstalling Touchsmart--will webcam and dvd player still work?

I want to uninstall the touchsmart features on my 610 running Windows 7 Professional. I do not use touchsmart and the touch capability causes problems--for example, my screen can be messed up, I assume by staic electricit, if a piece of paper is moved near it.
My question is this: Will the webcam and dvd player still work after the touchsmart programs are removed.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi,
You can disable it using the following methods. Others will stay and work:

What kind of HDMI switch is recommended? We have a Smsung TV and DVD player along with the Apple TV.

Does the TV not have multiple HDMI inputs?
There are no "recommended" switches.
Buy a quality device that gets good reviews.

I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
And I'm not from USA

Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do. If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple). If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8. You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.

Installing PSE12 Continually crashes my DVD player during install. Cannot open or use DVD and it won't open. Finally got it installed, but program blinks continuely when trying to open program. It then opens after a long wait.

Sorry this is my first time in the Adobe forum. I pretty much asked everything in my title. The installation process took me several hours to finally get it loaded. Continually crashes my DVD player and I have to use a pin to open it to get to the disc. This is a new disc just purchased a few days ago. Read where this program has had its share of problems on the internet. After installing the program, it blinks continually for a long time before it ever opens. Rather annoying to say the least. Need this program to get me started in my work.
Will this program work even though it blinks for a long time when opening it? Seems to work, but since I am not that familiar with it, I really don't know just yet.
Thank you for your input.

You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.

Aperture and DVD Player no longer work with NVIDIA 330M, help!

I recently got my computer back from the Apple Store, had the display switched because the glass kept falling off.
Anyways, since getting it back, I noticed DVD Player doesn't work anymore, it gives me:
There was an initialization error
A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]
And when I try to start Aperture 3.3:
Error
The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
I have a mid-2010 MBP i5 2.4Ghz with 8GB memory, running OSX 10.7.4.
Things i have tried:
Reset PRAM
Reset SMC
Boot into recovery mode and fix permissions
Boot into 32 bit kernel
force fsck
Create new user and try from that account
Also my video conference software, Jabber gives an error and quits too. Its something with the video.
Switching to Intel HD video, everything works fine. Only with the NVIDIA 330M do I get this error.
Does anyone have any idea what this may be or what I could try?

I'm having exactly the same problem. Additionally, the DVDs I make aren't recognized by other Macs I've tried. All the Preferences are set correctly.
My dvd player no longer reads commercial movies or a
dvd project I just burned with it. Disks no longer
show on my desktop when they are inserted. When I
got to dvd player and manually press play it reads
"not Permitted" for both.
The burner does work in as I played the dvd in my
home dvd player.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

No power to hard drive and DVD player

I got a G4 1.67ghz PowerBook of eBay. It powers on with out any problems and goes to the flashing question mark. So I put in a new known good hard drive and tried putting in the 10.5 install disk but the DVD player wouldn't take it. So I hooked an external DVD player and restarted. When I got to Disk Utility it only shows the external player. No hard drive and no internal DVD player. I can't hear the hard drive spinning in the PowerBook.
What would cause the PowerBook to work perfectly otherwise but no power getting to the hard drive and internal DVD player?

I found out what the problem was! I put the hard drive into an external enclosure to see if Disk Utility would see it. when I did that the DVD drive showed up in Disk Utility. So I looked at the hard drive and found it had a jumper on it setting it for Cable Select. I pulled off the jumper and the hard drive showed up in Disk Utility! Why having the jumper on it would make both the hard drive and the DVD drive not show up in Disk Utility I have no idea.

10.4.4 won't install due to non-existant DVD Player software?

Hello all,
The 10.4.4 update fails on my machine with the following message:
There were errors installing the software.
Please try installing again.
The installer log shows the following error.
BomFileError 28: No space left on device - ///Applications/DVD Player.app/Contents/MacOS/DVD Player
This is a bit odd as my machine only has a CD-RW and the DVD Player software is not installed.
I have repaired disk permissions, restarted in Safe mode with no more success with installing.
I also attempted in install the DVD Player software, but that gave me the error message that my machine does not have any supported DVD hardware.
Any ideas?
G4 733Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.3) CD-RW

Hello, thanks for the reply.
The error message implies to me that the device to
which you were installing Mac OS X had insufficient
space for the installation.
How much free space do you, in fact, have on that
device?
42.79 Gb. So I don't think that is the problem.
Your message is confusing.
A CD-RW drive is capable of playing DVDs.
However, it cannot burn to blank DVDs.
A Combo drive can read DVD, but a standard CD-RW can't. This one certainly doesn't read them.
Is your CD-RW drive the one that came with your G4,
or is it a third-party model that you added?
The one that came with it.
What makes you think that DVD Player is not
installed?
It should be in the Applications folder.
It's not in the Applications folder. I'm pretty sure the MAC OS installer only installs the DVD Player software if it detects a DVD-ROM drive. I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure I didn't manually delete it.

Trying to install Panther, could not find DVD player

While trying to install panther 10.3 if would get to the end and give the message that there were errors installing the software. I was asked if it would play a dvd and found out it wouldn't. The dvd icon would come up but when i clicked on it there would be a couple of things video and audio. Nothing would work and then I tried to find the DVD player and it wasn't in applications or anywhere else I could think of.
I don't have the original 10.2 disks, just the 10.3 upgrade.
Any ideas?

I replaced the CD with another and it works fine -- I guess its the drive.

Poor video playback from movies and DVD in Quicktime and DVD player

Hello.
I have just taken delivery of a smashing Intel iMac C2D 20".
I appear to be having problems playing back video and DVD. let me explain:
When entering full screen on a DVD, the picture is very blocky (pixilated). This happens on all DVD discs I have used.
The same happens if I playback a MPEG or AVI, and also when I use Eye TV to playback TV.
I have run the Apple Hardware test, and it returned no faults.
The Video Card is the ATI Radeon X1600 with 256mb
I am sure that there is a problem because I have just compared playback using my old G5 iMac and G4 Powerbook using the same media files and DVD's and they playback fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions (other than calling Tech Support at this stage as I will blow a fuse after being on the phone for 1.5 hours getting nowhere, and with agents not knowing which keypresses to initiate stuff - sorry - Rant over - I just want to get this resolved)
As a side note: I have just installed Windoze XP on a partition, and the playback of DVD and MPEGS are fine - so it leads me to think maybe its software??
Not one to let things get the better of me - I installed Real Player and VLC.
BOTH of these play back the media correctly.
So I guess it is Software for sure, and I guess its Quicktime. Does Quicktime run DVD Player as well?
I did a roll back to a previous version of Quicktime, and it screwed up the mac. It would book, but would not load the Finder.
So I archived and reinstalled, and I had 7.1.2 QT, and the problem was still there. So up again to 7.1.3 and problem still persists.
I have come to the conclusion that this is to do with Quicktime on a C2D processor iMac.
Can anyone shed any light on this or suggest a solution?
Manythanks
Glenn

10.4.8 Combo update resolved issue

Problems with Superdrive and DVD Player

The first problem is that for a long time, I haven't been able to eject disks by pushing the eject button (on the keyboard, in DVD player, etc) - I have to manually drag the DVD/CD on the desktop to the trash can/eject, or click the eject button in Finder. I know the button itself works fine, because I can eject disks in my Ubuntu Linux partition.
The second problem is that sometimes, while playing DVDs through DVD Player, the Player and/or the DVD itself in the drive freezes up. I can't quit the program, I can't eject the disk, I have to reboot to kill the program and eject the disk. This has happened on random DVDs (only, not any CDs), both that I own and that I received from NetFlix. The disks themselves are not bad, as they will run fine in VLC.
Any help with either of these problems? For what it's worth, the problems both started well before I partitioned the hard drive to install Linux.

Nope, didn't have a clue about that. Had to get my hard drive replaced, but everything's working fine now and holding the eject button down for a couple of seconds works.
Thanks!
