Is this a media problem

Greetings- still learning to use the MacPro..am still moving files from PC -was in the editing stage of home movie on PC finished it up- but it won't play on my Mac- does ok in stand alone DVD player... PC burns to + R DVD only so thats what it's on - a Memorex and also a Maxell... I did not attempt to burn to Verbatim +R DVD cause I had no printable ones on hand - and I like to print the DVDs in printer ... I thought at first the Mac couldn't read +R DVDs but I found an old home movie done on the PC on a +R DVD verbatim and it loaded up fine and allowed me to play it with the built in DVD player on the MAC - so is this a user ID 10 T problem, a media problem, possible format (mpeg2) issue and whatever the heck it is, how can I make one to use in Mac- I do have a program called Toast (have never used it yet) if you write and suggest I do fancy things, pls keep in mind I'm an old gal -still learning and be precise as possible... like there are many TS folders on the disk- which do I have to copy into somewhere etc... Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Baryo- after closing the tray the DVD and it's title show up on the desk top- then the Mac DVD player opens and I push play - words pop up in the DVD player window telling me "supported disk not avail" with a circle w/line thru it. Then I tried to go up to menu bar to File and select open DVD Media - and chose the Disk Icon from the far left column (called December 1994) the DVD that's in thebuilt in Mac - Pioneer drive - doing that opened a window for me to choose either Arcsoft or Video-TS (arcsoft is the program I used to create the DVD on the PC) So, I clicked on Video TS -(A bunch 10 to be exact, of files,extended to the right after clicking Video Ts - they are TS Bup, IFO, VOB type extensions or folders in the Video-TS main folder) Since I didn't know thich one of those to click on, I just clicked on the Original Video TS folder -then I got a pop up telling me "there was a problem opening the media - the media type is not suported. I have tried dragging the Icon to the quicktime Q on my bottom (task?) bar - no can do it says.
Yes it does show up in the left pane of the Disk Utility window also- when I click on the one I need I get the info on the disk in question - ie:
Mount Point :/volumes/December 1994 Capacity: 3.4 GB (bytes too)
Format: Universal Disk Format Available : 0Bytes
Write Status: Read Only Used: 3.4 GB
Number of Folders:5 Nmber of Files: 28

  • Windows Media Player 11 is needed for video on fav website, but version for firefox isn't working. Is this a compatability problem with Windows 7?

    My favorite jewelry website requires a plug-in to operate. Installation of the plug-in is offered, but will not download and function. Is this a compatibility problem for Windows 7?

  • Is this an Apple Problem or a Denon Problem?

    I use the most recent Mac Mini as a media center in my living room. Using a DVI to HDMI adapter the Mac Mini video feeds into my Denon AVR-4306 Receiver. The audio is pumped out of the standard headphone jack. At the end of each viewing session, the TV and receiver are powered off, but the Mac Mini stays on.
    Prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard this setup worked great - but after the upgrade, I'm now having a video display issue and I'm not sure if I should call Apple or Denon to help resolve this.
    I set Snow Leopard to use the 1080p resolution setting. I've confirmed that both my reciever and my TV are indeed 1080p and upon first boot things work perfect. The problem starts when I turn off the TV and Receiver. What happens is, after the TV and Receiver are turned off, the Mac Mini is reverting to the 720P display setting. The next time the TV and receiver are turned on, I'm looking at a 720P display setting.
    I don't understand why it's flipping to this lower resolution and am wondering if anyone has a fix that will prevent this from happening?
    I have found two workarounds - neither are any good. The first is after turning back on the TV and receiver, using the keyboard shortcut to log out. Logging out triggers the display check and it reverts back to the 1080p setting. A reboot also fixes this issue.
    Secondly, is this an Apple problem or a Denon Receiver problem?

    After much discussion back and forth between Apple and Denon, it was discovered that the Denon receiver does not support 1080p - only 1080i - this was not the information I orginally received from Denon.
    Setting the Apple to use 1080i for the resolution, then configuring the Denon Receiver to use HDMI pass through for the HDMI output resolved this problem.

  • Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?

    Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?
    I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
    TIA,

    Thanks, Martin.
    Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
    Thanks again,

    I had the same problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. This solution only partially worked for me. I still couldn't connect to the iTunes store.
    The following solution worked for me:

  • HT5624 My husband, myself & our 2 daughters all use the same Apple ID but w different user names. Is this a potential problem?

    4 members of my family use the same Apple ID but different user names
    Is this a potential problem w privacy etc?

    Since the Apple ID does not have a username, I suppose you mean different e-mail-adresses?
    In theory, this is not a problem, but of course it can be difficult if you want to keep things separated. For example, logging in with you Apple ID will automatically set up iCloud and sync your calendar, reminder, notes, mails etc. You can disable this syncing on your daughter's devices, but then they won't be able to use functionalities unless they create their own accounts (for example set up another email account). I think (but I am not 100% on this) they will be able to create reminders/notes etc. locally on the iphone.
    If you mean app-wise or legal-wise: No, this is not an issue. You can use your Apple ID and the apps you bought on up to five different devices. Still, for simplicities sake and to give everyone their share of privacy I personally would suggest different IDs for everyone.

  • Can't add a new event to iCal on my iMac - but the event sync's to my iPad - is this a Lion problem? iCloud is on.

    Can't add a NEW EVENT to my iCal on my iMac- however the event is sync'd to my iPad with no problem. iCloud is turned on for iCal. Is this a Lion problem or something turned pff. I cannot find an answer. Help?

    William,
    It is a possibility that you are adding new events to your "On My Mac" calendars.
    "On My Mac" calendars will not sync with iCloud. After backing up the "On My Mac" calendars, and ensuring that all events are duplicated on your iCloud calendars you can delete any "On My Mac" calendars.
    For further troubleshooting advice read iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

  • I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot

    I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

    If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from.  When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
    If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

  • Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

    Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.
    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

    As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

  • It has been only about a month that i bought my macbook pro 15 but it is heating up really fast on the left side even when the cpu usage is only 10%...i'm worried if this is a problem of the hardware.

    it has been only about a month that i bought my macbook pro 15 but it is heating up really fast on the left side even when the cpu usage is only 10%...i'm worried if this is a problem of the hardware?

    The way something "feels" is very subjective.  We would need to know your actual temps.  You can install the free iStat Pro widget which is available as a download directly from Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    Let us know what CPU temps you're seeing at the time you feel your machine is hot.  As you indicated your CPU usage was only 10%, that would imply that you already know that heavy CPU usage would be one cause for your machine to be running on the warm side... but that doesn't seem to be the cause here.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • TS3579 I found this useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data.  I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up

    I found this  (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data.  I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder. 

    It sounds like there are a couple things going on here.  First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
    Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance.  Once you find this, make sure the service is started. 
    If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error.  If you get an error, post the error message your hitting.  If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect.  If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
    name in the connection dialog.  Ex:  "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name.  However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format.  Ex:  COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
    is the instance name you set during install).
    You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install.  Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
    recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.
