  • Having trouble installing LG slim portable DVD player to my new MacBook Air?

    Having trouble installing LG slim portable DVD player to my new MacBook Air?

    No installation required. Just plug it in to a USB port and it should work. If it doesn't then either the drive is no good or the USB port has failed.
    The DVD drive will not show up on the desktop or in Finder unless you have a CD or DVD disc inserted in it. It will show in Disk Utility when it is connected to one of the USB ports.
    Could also be your Air is not supplying enough power to it from just one USB port. In that case you would need a Y USB cable that connects to 2 USB ports at the same time to supply the correct amount of power to the drive.

    It should just show up on the Desktop or in the side panel. If not check under Finder preferences, General and check the Show these items… CD's DVD's etc.

  • IMac don't play PAL DVDs only NTSC.

    The PAL DVD gets ejected after a short time. Why? When I insert a DVD with NTSC it works fine. DVD-player starts automatically and plays the disc.
    My iMac model is late 2009 with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    But if I insert a DVD with region 0 (all regions) it plays just fine.
    So why bother w/another region then?

  • How can i play music on my ipad via my macbook air?

    Hi all,
    A few months ago my wife convinced me to ditch my *cough* Windows PC *cough* and I converted to Apple.
    I am a very happy disciple these days, but still have a lot to learn
    I have an iPhone 4, my wife has an iPad 2 and I also have a MacBook Air. I would like to store all my music from my iPhone on my MacBook Air and my wife wants to do the same with the music stored on her iPad 2. Both the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are running out of storage.
    Is there any way we can store our music on the MacBook Air and play the tunes via my MacBook Air on my iPhone and my wife's iPad  when we are in range of our wireless signal? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • Can we Play the Blu-ray on the latest Macbook Air?

    There is some way available for playing Blu-ray on iMac, what you need is a external BD drive and Mac Blu-ray Player, is the way also apply for the Macbook Air?

    Now Mac still can't support Blu-ray, but the way to do this is almost the same, an external or internal Blu-ray drive plus Blu-ray player software. Both can be found on Amazon

  • HT2499 Is it possible to play a DVD in a loop?

    I would like to display a commercially prepared movie (for nonprofit Family Promise) in a booth at a community event. It is now on a dvd.  I would like to play it in a loop.  I cannot find a way to do it.  ANy help?

    Yes, if it does not have any menus it will loop, i.e. repeat playback.
    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Several of our resident experts also recommend this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have a mid 2010 macbook pro laptop can i play a region 2 NTSC format dvd on it without problems?

    as said in the titel any help would be very helpful thanks

    It would have been useful to know what region you are in!
    DVD Player: About DVD-Video Regions
    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set he region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • Is It possible to play europa universalis 4 on a 2011 macbook pro

    It says that the only thing i don't have tech spec wise to play the game is an insufficient gpu. The game doesn't look as if it is gpu extensive as some other games. This mac has Intel HD 3000 with 512 mb. The suggested amount is a little over 1gb. Is there any way for me to play the game or would i have to someway get an external gpu (not sure if an external gpu is a possible thing for mac just want a possible solution). If you want to see the full sugested requirements for the game, go to the game on steam. An answer would be apreciated.

  • Is it possible to connect MBP as a external disply from macbook air

    I have both a macbook pro and air, my MBP is 15" and air 11"
    i was wondering if its possible to use my MBP 15" as a external displly like "another/ seperate" monitor
    i thought of two ways of possibly connecting them.
    1, buying a thunderbolt cable and hooking them up and hopefully lworking
    2. buy a thunderbolt-VGA, get a VGA cable, and VGA-mini disply port
    not sure if theis would work but really want to use my MBP as a disply.
    any answers? thanks

    Due to the form factors, I wouldn't think it would be a good fit to use a 15" as a monitor even if it were possible.  You can get an bigger monitor that would work for around $100.  That  would be my solution if you wanted a bigger display from your 11" MBA.
