MacBook pro using Yosemite dvd player is hanging

With a MacBook Pro using Yosemite 10.10.1 when I try to show a DVD, the player hangs whenever I try to scan forward or backward. This happens regardless of whether I use the controls drop down menu or the buttons on the controller. The DVD Player info says App Version: 5500.56, Framework Version: 5.9.0.
thanks for any help.

You need a Thunderbolt or mini DisplayPort to composite converter like this one:

Yikes, unless you can find one for much less than that, I'd put than kind of money toward a TV with HDMI connections.

  • I have ps cs4 for mac version with the dvd, but my macbook pro has no dvd player, need download

    i need a download version of pscs4 for mac since my new macbook pro has no dvd player.  I have the licensed version on dvd.

    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

  • Does the macbook pro have a dvd player?

  • Can not turn off, disable, mute, STOP the Apple boot start up chime on MacBook Pro using Yosemite 10.10.1

    I understand why Apple forces the boot chime upon us for marketing and diagnostics, but I really want to disable the start up chime when booting my MacBook Pro laptop.
    I have tried the sudo commands that worked in Mavericks.
    nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80
    and
    nvram SystemAudioVolume=%00
    They do not work with Yosemite.
    I have also tried muting my laptop before shutting down and muting the sound entirely in System Preferences.  This method does not work either.
    Every time I boot the laptop I have to annoy every one in the library, or the cafe, or the airport, or the workplace.
    Anyone have a solution for this?

    I did that prior to posting, and the choices are very limited, or unreliable based on comments.  There doesn't seem to be an app that can do this for 10.10.1 StartNinja was the only app that seems decent, but doesn't list Yosemite as a supported OSX version. I would like to avoid using an app to accomplish this anyway.
    Then you are out of luck.  Apple does not provide an on & off option or software regarding the start up chimes.

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to macbook pro using Yosemite

    Hello,
    I am wanting to transfer all of my music and playlists (including music downloaded from internet) from my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.1) to my macbook pro which is using Yosemite (10.10.1) How would I do this?
    Thanks!

    Syncing will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store to your computer.  Music from other sources can only be transfered from your phone to your computer using 3rd party software such as PhoneView (Mac) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

  • My Macbook Pro (OSX Yosemite) does not recognize my Rocketfish music receiver via Bluetooth.

    I bought a Rocketfish music receiver in order to stream music on my MacBook Pro using Yosemite to my stereo receiver.  I cannot get my laptop to recognize/connect to the Rocketfish or my iPhone 5 even though the iPhone 5 connects to the receiver.

    Maybe this?

  • We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6.  Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

    We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6?  Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

    We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs.  When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS.  Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP,   VTS_01-0.BUP,   VTS_01_0.IFO,  VTS-01_1.VOB,   VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  Where is DVDxDV?

  • I need to totally format my macbook pro 13" mid 2009, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds?

    my macbook pro 13 is originally shipped with mac os x 10.5.7, now with 10.6.8, but i dont have the dvds with me, i also dont want any of the information on it, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds? what can i do?
    My macbook pro 13" dvds have these on them
        DVD 1: 13 inch macbook pro mac os x install dvd version 10.5.7 2Z691-6468-A Disc version 1.1
        DVD 2: 13 inch macbook pro applications install dvd disc  AHT version 3A174 disc version 1.0   2Z691-6458-A
    My friend's macbook pro 13
        DVD 1: 13 INCH MACBOOK PRO MAC OS X INSTALL DVD Mac os x version 10.6.7 Disk version 1.2
        DVD 2: 12 in macbook pro applications install dvd AHT version 3A21 Disc version 1.1
    Would my friend's dvds work to format my macbook pro to factory settings as if out of the box?
    i also had windows running on my mac, i used disc utility to erase the partition for windows, not bootcamp, so the partition is empty, i cant get the main hard drive extended as it was before because it gives me a message saying "could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed", and when i try to verify it through disc utility it says that i need to my os x dvd and repair it, if i just format it, will that all go away?
    thank you

    Simple answer is no.
    Slightly more complicated answer;
    You may be able to boot from the disc and use Disk Utility to partition and wipe the HDD (though it may not boot at all).
    You can't install an OS from the other computer's discs. It simply will not allow the installation.
    You would also be violating the software licence agreement.
    As your originals are 10.5.x, you can buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (10.6.3) and format and install from that.

    From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

    I don't think it is EFI issue, but with XP and drivers, lack, and wonder if you can try with Vista?

    That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

    "My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
    Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
    SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

  • I use Acrobat X1 Pro. When I launch it I get these pop up about buying or trying DC. I pressed the privacy link to stop it, but it hasn't. It says Acrobat Application Manger. It literally overrides launching Acrobat x1. I use a macbook pro with yosemite.

    I use Acrobat Pro X1. I use a macbook Pro with Yosemite. Was working fine. Last time I launched the software, I got this Abrobat Application Manager poping up and overriding the Acrobat launch asking to buy or try Acrobat DC. I can't make it go away, even when I press the privacy link. Please don't tell me this is some malware bug. Should I uninstall the current AX1Pro and reinstall it. This is very frustrating.

  • How to connect Macbook Pro using thunderbolt to older TV

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to view streaming video from my MacBook Pro using the thunderbolt port to an older TV that doesn't appear to have an HDMI port (probably not an HD TV). I've tried using the VGA and S-Video (TV has both ports) using adapters, and tried F8 but nothing works. I am trying not to buy a Roku or similar right now, and have a variety of cables and adapters. Ideas anyone?
    I know that VGA and S-Video won't carry audio, assume I can just connect an audio cable to the earphone port right?
    Thanks in advance! Kate

    "Note that you'll have to change the input/source to the input you used from the MBP." Can you elaborate a bit?
    Let's say you have 2, 3 or 4 different things hooked up to your TV (Tivo, DVD player, X-Box). The TV needs to know which one you want to watch, so you have to select the proper input (the place where the Tivo etc. is hooked up to). This is called the input or source, and needs to be selected in the TV's menu. Make sense?

  • Installing Time Capsule on MacBook Pro w/malfunctioning CD player

    I recently purchased a Time Capsule for my daughter who has a MacBook Pro with malfunctioning CD player (long story). Is there anyway of installing the setup software from the web or support site?

    if your daughter's Mac is on the same network as yours, you could use *remote install* to install the setup software on her machine.
    click here and follow the instructions.
    or, you could enable *remote disc* on your machines with the same result. see this:
    The CD/ROM in my computer busted, so I decided to try to remotely mount the CD from another computer on mine. I know the MacBook Air can do this, so I reasoned that any Mac could. It turns out it is possible, but the solution is far from obvious -- after much searching, I found the solution here.
    Here's a quick synopsis. Go to System Preferences » Sharing, and enable 'DVD or CD Sharing.' (I think you need to do this on both machines -- the one with the drive and the one without the CD/ROM drive). Then, on the computer that does not have the CD drive on it, go to a Terminal window and enter:
    $ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
    $ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
    Reboot this machine, and when the reboot is finished, you'll see the remote CD/DVD under Devices in the Finder's sidebar. Thereafter, you can remotely mount a CD/DVD from another machine.
