Mac Says DVD Is Empty

I copied old home movies from a VHS tape to a DVD-RW.
It plays on my DVD Player but not on my Mac.
Is there anything I can do?

Here's exactly what I did...
Inserted the tape into the VCR. Showed it on my TV. Started my DVD player and set it to RECORD. The DVD player copied the entire home movie I had, onto the DVD.
I don't know anything about analog or digital...sorry! (I'm not too familiar with computers, etc.)
All I know is, that the old movies plays on the DVD player but not on my Mac.

  • Mac says DVD-rom is blank

    I have a game disk from Sims 3 that won't open.  I insert it in my Mac and after 2 minutes it says that the DVD is blank. On other computers works the disc fine. Please help me!!

    Well is it a DVD for the Mac system? Or for a Windows system?
    If for Mac then maybe your drive is bad and needs to be replaced.

    Put the DVD back in your Windows system and make sure the disk is finalized.  Then it should be readable on your Mac.

  • Can't access files in Time Capsule in WIN7 64 Bit- says folder is empty

    Hi there. I can't seem to access my files in Time Capsule using WIN7 64 BIT, it works fine as a router , i can see the time capsule online and how much space it's occupied, however whenever i click on it , it says folder it empty. I can access the files from OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
    I tried to drag and drop new files into the Time Capsule in WIN7 , it copies/paste the files fine for a second and then disappear, and if i go back to the Snow Leopard i can see those folders again , so i am guessing i need enable some kind access/ file sharing option or whatever that allows the files to be visible. Has anyone faced this situation in WIN7 64 BIT ?
    Thanks

  • Mac says 'Flash Installer is damaged"

    I used the download straight from Adobe website and my Mac says it's damaged and won't open file. Says to 'eject disk image.' I uninstalled all Adobe products and deleted all downloads to start fresh and keep getting the same message. What to do??

    Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg.
    If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"… DO NOT mount the DMG or run the installer yet!
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins.
    Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there.
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder).
    Empty the trash.
    Reboot.
    Mount the DMG and run the installer.
    BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, click Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plug-ins" ("Allow Plug-ins" in Safari 7) is checked.

  • Trying to make a Xmas Card in iPhoto. When card is made I hit "Buy Card", but I get "card incomplete" because it says there are empty photo templates that haven't been filled. Only they have all been filled. There are no empty ones left to fill! Now what?

    Trying to make a Xmas Card in iPhoto on my Mac i5. When card is made I hit "Buy Card", but I get "card incomplete" because it says there are empty photo templates that haven't been filled. Only I have filled them all!. There are no empty ones left to fill! Now what?
    Thanks for the help.

    Only I have filled them all!. There are no empty ones left to fill! Now what?
    Some text do look like they were final texts, that cannot be filled, but they are also place holders, for example the "Season's Greetings".Have you really clicked on each and every text, to see if they need filling in?

  • Created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player.  i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac  the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read

    created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player.  i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac  the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read.  I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd.  Any suggestions.  I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???

    There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video.  I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player.  The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.   
    I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project.  But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu? 
    When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options.  It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.).  You need software that will made a DVD-V disc.  Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn. 

  • PMG5 says jump drive empty.

    I hope this is the right place to post.
    I usually put documents from work(on pc) to home on a removable 256mb drive. I had allot of info to move this time so I put the word docs in folders and my mac says the drive is empty. it does show that there is memory missing 185mb out of 256 but no flolders are showing. This has never happened before but I have never placed anything in folders before(usually just word docs) what can I do if anything???

    ok it worked...but now I have a question.....I used finder and found a doc. at the very bottom of the finder window it showed my drive and then the folders on down to the doc I did the search for.
    The funny thing is the removable disk is called my stuff. the very next folder is labled trashes????
    Why when I open the drive when it mounts does it appear empty but when I search I can find my missing docs????
    Thanks for your help

  • My mac says my region code is 2 but its actually 4

    my mac says my region code is 2 but its actually 4 HOW DO I CHANGE IT ... I HAVE A TON OF DVD'S UNDER THE REAGION OF 4 THAT I CANT PLAY
    HELP .!!!!!!

    Open the DVD Player application, click its Help menu, and search for "DVD region" in the help files. Among the results will be instructions for changing your drive's region code. NOTE CAREFULLY that you can only change this four times in all — the fifth region that is set (counting the initial region as the first of the five) will be permanently locked.

    Same here on a brand new 13" Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) running Mountain Lion. DVDs play fine using VLC media player but not the default player that comes with Mountain Lion. Will visit my Apple store next week.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
    /Library/Printers/Canon
    and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

  • New iPad mini is not recognized by my Mac.  Is asking for an iTunes update to 10.7, but Mac says system is up to date at the iTunes version we have.  iPad mini just not recognized without the updated iTunes,  HELP

    The kids have 3 new iPad minis for Xmas, but our Mac will not recognize the devices when we connect the minis to it.  The Mac/iPad says it needs a newer version of iTunes, but the Mac says that it has the latest version of iTunes. The kids can't transfer their music, books, photos, etc from the Mac, where everything is centrally stored, to their new minis. :(. Can any one help?

    What itunes version do you have?
    What Mac OS version do you have?
    From the ipad mini box and web page:
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    Download iTunes at "www.itunes.com/download

  • MAC OSX 10.4.11 I finally succumbed to the constant irritating messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox! How can I recuperate my old settings?

    MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English

    Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
    The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
    2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
    3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).
