  • Airplay Mirroring and the Mac DVD player not working

    Has anyone else experienced issues trying to airplay mirror the mac dvd player?  When I attempt to play a dvd while airplay mirroring is turned on the dvd player window just shows the checkerboard pattern and no video (this is on both the laptop screen and the tv screen).  If I take airplay mirroring off the dvd displays properly.

    I had this same problem, and i read that it has to do with DRM. Even DVDs you make your self wont work because the DRM is set on the DVD player it self. You can use VLC and it should work, it worked with me. Anyways good luck.

  • IDVD slideshows crash Mac DVD Player

    So, I created my movie in iMovie, exported it to iDVD 8, and then I added two slideshows.
    One slideshow has 110 pictures and the other slideshow has about 12 pictures.
    Both slideshows play perfectly in iDVD preview mode and on my Panasonic DVD player.
    But, when I try to play either slideshow on my MacBook Pro, both slideshows crash the Mac DVD Player.
    I'm very frustrated with this. You would think that a DVD I create on my Mac can at least play on my Mac!
    Any help will be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    It's nice to know that someone is seeing a similar problem...misery
    loves company!
    I've been creating slideshows in iDVD by dragging and dropping pictures
    from iphoto, and the slideshows work great in the iDVD preview, on
    my Panasonic DVD player, and my Playstation 2. But, the DVD crashes
    the Mac DVD Player EVERY time. I've have problems with the DVD Player
    in previous release, so this wouldn't surprise me. But, it would be nice
    if the player worked with DVDs created by Apple's own software.

    Hi there, I've just installed iLife 08 on my iMac 20" 2.16, OS 10.4.10 with all
    the updates through software update and I get the same problem before even
    burning a disc! Any slideshow exported to iDVD from iPhoto makes the programme
    bug out when you use the iDVD preview. Same photos dragged into iDVD to make the
    slideshow there work fine. Also tried exporting quicktime from iPhoto and
    importing into iDVD that way - also causes the crash (I don't even get a 'quit
    unexpectedly' message) - there's obviously some problem with quicktime.

  • DVD problems and DVD problems. Apple do something about it.

    Hi ye all,
    Some time ago, I encountered problems while burning DVD's.
    Got this strange error message like many other folks were getting, and we were suspecting some kind of intergallactical conspiracy against Mac DVD writers.
    Now guess what, if I now insert a blanc DVD into my iMac, it just spits it out without any error message or whatever. Even Microsoft could not beat this kind of user-friendliness
    By the way, I'm running 10.4.7, with all updates recently published installed. My environment is dust-free, and there are no green creatures from Mars running around my living room.
    I really need to be able to burn DVD's, so Apple : do something about it, or I'll switch to Windows, and I'm dead serious.
    Anybody of you guys/gals have any suggestions as to what could be wrong with this DVD issue which has been going on for months now ?

    Dirk, if your Mac is still under warranty, take it in to have the drive checked out. If the warranty period is over, you'll have to pay for the servicing and/or repair.

  • PS CS6 (mac) dvd ejects before being read.

    PS CS6 (mac) dvd ejects before being read.

    Hi ,
    We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
    Are you able to mount other optical media successfully?  If you put the Photoshop CS6 DVD in another Macintosh is it able to be read properly?  If you can read other discs fine and the disc won't mount on another Mac then it is likely a problem with the DVD.
    If the DVD can be mounted on another Macintosh then it is probably an issue with the optical drive on your Macintosh.
    Btw if you need the install files you can download the trial from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop.  You can then use the serial number included with your software purchase
      In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

  • Toast 6 Titanium 'Mac OS Problem error 50'

    Hi,
    After successfully burning a few DVDs I suddenly encountered the error 50 problem. After encoding for 5 hrs Toast 6 Titanium informs me that there is a Mac OS problem. This has happened twice on two different avi movies I was attempting to burn.

    try the Toast support forum:

  • MAC DVD player stops networks connections...no answers in Safari.

    This is a constant and repetitive error.
    Everytime that I play the any DVD in the DVD player (application version 5.0.3, system version 5.0.6) Safari goes down,. there is no answser if I continue browsing in Safari.I am connected via Airport, and there are no other users browsing -access by ethernet card-
    If I remove the DVD and quit DVD player my network connections are restarted, and safari responds ok.
    So I can not browse in safari or access internet if I am runing the MAC DVD Player...
    amazing, no?

    I have the same problem.
    Apparently, the "Digital Out" channel cannot be shared by multiple running applications, the first one starting takes it and keeps it. You have to stop it to allow an other (single) application to use it instead.
    To me it is a bug : the front most application should take the Digital Out channel, and release it when an other one becomes front most, but this bug has apparently being going on for a long time, and Apple does not seem interested in its correction.

  • Applet in Apple Mac OSX problem

    Hi all,
    have developing an applet long while using WinXP platform, everthing seem ok, but when i try over Apple Mac OSX, i has a loading problem saying that init failed to load ArrayList as error message said:
    ArrayIndexOutOfBound, 0...
    but when i debug print out the ArrayList content and its length, i'm sure that this ArrayList is NOT NULL and its length is NOT ZERO either. what is happening here? oh, ya, this only happen in Safari, in FireFox for Mac no problem, even Camino also pass the test, why? anyone have idea about this? because i'm new to Apple Mac.
    also, there is another question whereby, when i use FireFox for Mac to load the applet, the applet load seem no problem but it just can't display properly. what i mean is that in Windows platform (IE6), this applet show entire applet successfully, but when i try it in Mac, it show only a part of applet without any error, but when i try to refresh the page, applet is now successfully show, why?
    lastly, when a button of an applet being click and this will bring a new window with some parameters value, its work on IE in Windows platform, why it won't work for FireFox or Safari for Mac? i see prompt out saying is security problem, is there any workout of this? thanks. to summary out of junk above:
    _______________________________FireFox_____Safari_____IE
    _______________________________Win | Mac_____Mac____Win
    1. load applet for 1st time___________OK_|_NO_____FAIL____OK
    2. refresh applet after 1st load failed___OK_|_OK_____FAIL____OK
    3. when applet button click (security)___OK_|_NO_____-_______OK
    p/s: all above test was using same applet with same parameter and value.
    below is the sample i capture from Apple Mac just now:

    i has a loading problem saying that
    init failed to load ArrayList as error message
    said:
    ArrayIndexOutOfBound, 0...Well, post the stack trace.
    but when i debug print out the ArrayList content and
    its length, i'm sure that this ArrayList is NOT NULL
    and its length is NOT ZERO either. You can still get an out of bounds exception with those conditions. The list could exist, its length could be N, but you're trying to dereference position N + 5, for example.
    try it in Mac, it show only a part of applet without
    any error, but when i try to refresh the page, applet
    is now successfully show, why?My guess is that you're not calling repaint() when you should, but that's just a guess.
    lastly, when a button of an applet being click and
    this will bring a new window with some parameters
    value, its work on IE in Windows platform, why it
    won't work for FireFox or Safari for Mac? i see
    prompt out saying is security problem, is there any
    workout of this? thanks. to summary out of junk
    above:Often you can sign applets so they can do things that unsigned applets aren't allowed to do.
    Maybe you're making some kind of security mistake that Firefox and Safari are (properly) catching but IE isn't. In any event, post the error message.

  • I have a MacBook Air which has a camera installed in it but it doesn't seem to work for some things like iMovie and my security camera for emergencies. It does however seem to work for Photobooth and facetime. Please write back and help my mac's problems.

    It'd be nice if you could help me with my mac's problems so I can start using iMovie and my security camera again. Thank you too all that answer.

  • I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

    Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
    Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
    I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
    I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
    Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
    And driver? OS X driver?

  • Works in Simulator, doesn't work in Mac DVD player

    Never seen this before--the Simulator actually works fine, all links and menu calls are flawless. The Video TS in the Mac DVD player, however, menu calls and a couple of links do not work.
    The dvd should be fine, I burned one yesterday and all of this stuff was fine on the disk, just had to go back and make a couple of changes today.
    Anyone seen this before?

    I have seen this kind of thing happen before. You should definately try deleting and old builds when you compile. A couple times i had to delete the parse files and let the project reparse to get the dvd to behave properly after the build.
    sometimes i could only get the project to work by deleting the offending menus and rebuilding and relinking them.

  • I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

    I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

    unfortunately - you can not.  you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
    does it have to be outlook?  maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
    how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
    or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
    good luck

    how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title

    Play all chapters, i mean.
    I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.

  • Mat**bleep**a DVD problem

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba equium psaaqe vista laptop it has a mat**bleep**su DVD drive. All of a sudden it stopped working, it wont read or write or recognize any CD DVD. I have researched the problem and the nearest I can get to a solution  can be found here.  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461/en-gb
    Problem is I can't locate  default data value DVD/CD-rom and the class data value cdrom? As this is alphabetical it seems its not on my system. And as the CD drive isn't’t working I can't reformat any ideas solutions much appreciated.
    Cheers
    haggisok

    So no replies surprise surprise! I have trolled the internet and find lots of mat**bleep**a DVD problems, I also note many complaint's regarding Toshiba support. All I can say is I will never ever buy a Toshiba product again. My equium failed after I removed the tempro product support program, Toshiba sent me an email informing me my hard drive was over 50% full buy a new laptop, it then suggested a model costing over £1000. I concluded that the program was there to spy rather than help its customers. Toshiba got my money and ran off like a thief in the night!

  • Lightroom 5, Mac. Problem with the Radial Tool. Marquee Lines disappear.

    Lightroom 5 Mac. Problem with the Radial Tool. I use this tool a lot. I must have hit a hot key by accident because between photos the marquee lines have disappeared and i don't know how to get them back. Without the marquee lines there I cannot rotate or expand the radial tool.

    I have attempted to uninstall, empty trash and a fresh download from Adobe. The problem is still there...
