Macbook 2007/10.6.8 DVD capacity

Can my Macbook 2007/2008 10.6.8 Snow Leopard play a DVD? Seems I remember when I purchased it that it could not. I have recently played one but could that damage the laptop?

Yes, it can play DVDs.

  • I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

    I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this.  You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts.  Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

  • How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs?

    (Fifth futile attempt in two hours, before I learned there was a Post webpage – I’m new to ApSuppCom - and after I learned that I am not allowed to update previous content, so I had to back out, make a few changes, and start over.)  How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?  (Some other specs: Mac OS Lion 10.7.5; Capacity 499.5 GB;  Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core  2 Duo; Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB)
    I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring.  Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.” Advisors and Mac Geniuses at local Apple Stores have told me to try Roxio Toast.  When I visited the Roxio website, and found numerous other company products, the descriptions all seemed to suggest that most of the apps shown can easily export videos to DVDs, but nothing was said about finished digital slide shows being exported.  At future events soon,  I hope to be handing out these finished DVDs (free) to the people in them.   Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?
    Aperture cannot burn slideshows to a DVD.  It only can export a video of your slideshow.
    In Aperture 3 you use the "Export" button in Aperture's slideshow project to render a video to a folder on your disk.
    Then you use iDVD or another program to burn a video DVD.

    Could you please describe the exact steps that are causing these error messages?
    How are you exporting your slideshow from Aperture? Which settings are you using? And how are you importing the video to iDVD or Toast to burn a video DVD?

  • Hard drive exchange between MacBook(2007) and MacBookPro(2009)

    I have a MacBook(2005) that I upgraded with a 500GB hard drive and other stuff. I just did a fresh install of Snow Leopard and all my settings are right where I want them and it fells perfect. Currently I am using 300GB of hard drive space.
    However, every AppleGeek likes new hardware every once in a while, and so I went out to buy a new MacBookPro(2009) - the model that comes with a 250GB hard drive.
    My problem now is that I can not use the Migrate Assistant because the new hard drive has less capacity than I have files to migrate. And I want to put in the 500GB HD anyways.
    So a question occurred to me: Is it possible to take out the 500GB HD (from Macbook2007) and put it into the new MacBookPro(2009)? Can I keep running my system as it is by just switching hard drives?
    Basically the question targets at the hardware support of Snow Leopard. When Snow Leopard installs, does it install the whole package all the time. Are the files equal on any machine, or will it be a different installation ("drivers") based on the hardware snow Leopard is suppose to run on?
    I remember, that I once hooked up my MacBook(2007) HD to my MacMini(2006) via usb, and I was able to option boot into my MacBook(2007) System on the MacMini(2006). But I did not test it for a long time and so my sequential question is: does it slow down the system?
    Thanks for your help! Any advise is welcome and appreciated.

    I did the swap of hard drives but because I knew that Quark and Adobe programs recognize the computer, I deactivated the software on the old computer, then reactivated on the new one. I did forget to deauthorize iTunes and Audible. With Audible I just added the authorization but with iTunes I had to go into my account and deauthorize all of my computers because I was at the 5 computer limit and I didn't want to put the drive back in the old computer, deauthorize, then bring it back to the new.
    I had considered booting the old computer from the new one in Target Disk Mode and deauthorizing iTunes that way. It might have worked. And Time Machine was able to tell that the old disk was in a new computer. It warned me that if I associated the backup sparse file with the new computer there was no going back, but it was much better than what others have experienced with Time Machine making you back up again from scratch. Some printers were not "found" and I had to go back through preferences and just point them out again. Other than that, pretty painless.

  • IPhone 5 unable to sync with iTunes Macbook 2007

    I have the Macbook 2007 laptop, and I am unable to update my itunes because i am not running Mac OS C 7 or higher. I am not going to get a newer laptop because my new iphone will not sync with my old data, and I have photos that I do not want to lose that was backed up. Please tell me what I could do. Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem. I understand what the system requirements are, but I simply didn't notice them when I ordered the phone.
    At any rate, I called Apple today and ordered Snow Leopard. It's a barely newer version of an old operating system ... but it should do the trick. Snow Leopard is 10.6 and you can download the 10.6.8 update on Apple's site once SL is installed.
    After I receive the DVD in the mail (really? no download? ridiculous...) I'll install iTunes 10.7 and all should be well. Until then, my iPhone 5 will just be a paperweight.
    Good luck!

  • My macbook 2007 won't start up past the logo screen.

    My macbook 2007 won't start up past the logo screen. I've tried to boot the computer off the install dvd that came with it but it comes up with a box saying that Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer. It has a yellow triangle over a hard drive in the box. What do I do?

    You need to start the MacBook with the original DVD that shipped with the MacBook. then run disk utility on your hard drive to repair it, also repair your permissions. 

  • MacBook 2007 black 13" would a mini-DVI to HDMI cable send audio to the TV?

    I attached my macbook (2007 black 13") to my TV with a mini-DVI to VGA; would a mini-DVI to HDMI cable allow my audio to play through the TV? Wanted to ask before I purchased it. Thanks.

    No. The black MacBooks don't send audio through HDMI, so you'd need to connect the audio separately.

  • How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

    How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

    I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

  • I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32bit

    I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32 bit. Just looking for a workaround as this is not a primary device.

    You should update to the latest version of Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 - you can download it here; however it's still not compatible with iCloud and though you can connect to access your email you cannot access any other of iCloud's facilities.
    However some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. I've not tried it: use at your own discretion.
    To access the email:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Are you sure you can't upgrade to Lion? It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which you may well have, though it also needs 2GB RAM so you might need to add additional RAM (might not be worth it for what you want). The published specs don't mention 32 or 64 bit. You can buy Lion by ringing the Apple Store at the number at bottom left of this page.

  • IDVD "Quit Unexpectedly" as "DVD Capacity" approaches 1 GB?

    I'm having the age old "Quit Unexpectedly" problem, and it seems to occur as my DVD Capacity as read in the "status" tab approaches 1GB (of 4.1) GB.
    My project with 4 movies and the projector project totals 0.6 GB and burns fine every time. If I add another movie that brings the total up to 1.2GB, that's when the quitting thing occurs. (sometimes during background encoding, or sometimes that finishes OK and iDVD quits during the very beginning of stage 4)
    Does this sound familiar to anyone?
    I'm running iDVD 4.0.1 on OS 10.3.9 with at least 30gig left on my boot drive at all times. The movies all have been exported from FCP in DV format.
    17" G4 Powerbook, 1ghz PowerPC, 1GB RAM.
    Thanks for any comments
      Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Hello Mark,
    I'm running iDVD 4.0.1 on OS 10.3.9
    Your specs at the bottom say OS X 10.4.2. Which one is it? If you run Tiger, you probably have QT 7 which might be a cause for the problem (shooting in the dark here)
    Have you tried:
    • Trashing preferences (com.apple.iDVD.plist) and empty trash
    • Repairing Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
    • Clearing Cache Files (Tools: CacheOutX, Onyx)
    Also: have you tried creating a disk image? Disk Image creation can be enabled in iDVD 4 through a hack (HPfurz). Find some more info here:

  • My MacBook (2007, late mid-year model) is overheating

    My MacBook (2007, late mid-year model) is overheating and the batter cover has buckled.  Now the battery does not seem to want to charge.  Do I need to replace the battery?  The computer?  What will help?  I'd like to use the computer for as long as possible, though I realize I am probably overdue to replace it.  It is my only computer at the moment.
