My husband made a DVD of our photos on his 2011 Mac desktop. Why can't I play this on a DVD player. I've tried 3 times and the DVD players do not recognize the format

My husband made a DVD of our photos on his Mac desktop but I cannot play it on a DVD player. Why?

Drag the iDVD icon out of the Dock. Go to the Applications folder and drag iDVD back into the dock and try to open. If it still doesn't open try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once you make the library visible you'll be able to find and delete the files mentioned above.

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

I have a new wireless router and now my laptop will not recognize the printer.

I recently installed a new wireless router,Linksys E2500, and now my laptop will not connect to my OfficeJet 4500 wireless printer. Operating system is Windows XP. Says it does not recognize the printer. It was working fine with my other Linksys router and I have been able to connect all of my other electronic equipment. Thanks.

You must reinstall the full feature software and drivers again to be sure it will work with the new router. This is the fastest way. Simply follow the instructions that came with the printer.

Anyone who has had a webcam failure where the "device manager does not recognize the hardware"?

HP Pavilion dv7 running win 7 64 bit
Device manager does not recognize trueVision HD webcam. Tried all the suggestions on HP website, which eventually says it's a hardware failure. Has anyone had any resolution to this issue? I see the problem occurs across various platforms with varying resolutions to the problem.

Ha Ha. I'm replying to my own post!
Solution.... If your laptop does not recognize the built-in camera at all in the device manager and your warranty has expired or your willing to void your warranty. You can see if you have the same problem as I had. Gently pry the plastic frame around your camera and display screen apart you need to go at least half way down the sides. There is also some adhesive tape you will need to push to one side or the other. To the right of the camera there is a very small connector, it wont even look as if it is separated. Use a tweezer or small screwdriver to push the connector into the socket. This fixed my problem ...The next startup recognized the camera and has worked perfectly since. In my opinion (13yrs experience in reliability engineering semiconductor manufacturing) this is a manufacturing reliability issue either the socket cannot hold the connector in place or there is too much strain on the wiring to the connector. Good luck.

I have done everything the website suggests. Nothing worked. Has anyone gotten satisfaction to the issue either by a fix or a service center repair? I have seen others with the same problem accross different operating systems.

HT2954 I changed my email address on Gmail and now my computer will not recognize the new password when I modify my account?

I changed my email password on Gmail last night. I then went into settings on my MAC to reflect the changes but it will not recognize it. I double checked to ensure I had the right password and it is. I can log into my email from safari with no issues. I have varified that all account information is correct but its still not working. I have also lost notes and contacts.

Mail passwords not holding...
If Terminal doesn't scare you, you might try this line in Terminal...
sudo mv /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase.old
Carefully type your admin password when asked & hit enter, as it won't be echoed, then restart the Mac.
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server.
So since WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.

IMAP is port 143

Is it POP or IMAP?

Firefox does not display the basic menu line File Edit View etc. How do I get this menu to show. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that does not help

T60 hard drive replacement - Windows does not recognize the hard drive

Hello All, new to the Lenovo Community. I have a T60 as well as newer Lenovo Edge. The HD crashed on the T60 and it will no longer boot. I just purchased a WD 500GB without doing a lot of research. In trying to install Windows 7 (I had already upgraded the T60) it will not recognize the new drive - Windows does not see the drive at all. Is there a way to get the Lenovo to recognize the WD drive? Thank you in advance for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Glad I was able to help.
Just be careful, the usual "if it doesn't fit, find a bigger hammer" doesn't apply to this model laptop.
Also, there is a part available to adjust the frustration level, I don't happen to have the FRU number available, but I do have a photo and I'm sure you can find a local shop to provide it. Any experienced vendor should be able to match up a similar item from this photo.
It comes in many varieties, this model has a handy extention to aid in installation so you can easily do it with one hand. Others may require two hands to safely install. Use care when installing, one slip can destroy your laptop. Acute abuse can lead to severe embarassing situations and cronic abuse can have impact on your health, so use wisely and always get a spare to share with a friend. They tend ot come conviently packaged in quantity of 6, so you can invite a few friends over.
This invention has saved many a laptop from sailing out of windows worldwide.

You are trying to download "iTunes" to your iPhone?

Restoring Your Nano When The USB Port No Longer Recognizes The Device

I can't say for certain if its coincidental or not but as soon as the latest update of v9 for iTunes came out, my computer stopped recognizing my iPod (1st Gen Nano) through all the USB ports.
First, I tried the Nano on a different computer with Windows Vista but the the latest version of iTunes had also been updated on that machine. The laptop also would not recognize the device through any of the USB ports.
Second, I switched cables. Same problem.
Third, I reset the device. Same problem.
Fourth, I tried to update the drivers on the device manager. Same problem.
Fifth, I uninstalled iTunes per Apple's uninstall instructions and that was to no effect.
Now my last option is to restore the device, however because I can't get it to be recongized on any computer I own- I don't know how to do this? Do I take it to an Apple store? Is there a manual way to restore the device to factory settings since every computer I have access to won't recognize the device?
Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem. After updated to the latest version of iTunes 10, my 5th gen ipod stopped being recognized by my Windows 7 Computer.
I've tried:
1. Un/reinstalling Itunes 10, then updating to 10.1 or whatever was the latest one as of 9/30/10.
2. Using a different iPod USB cable to connect to the computer.
3. Using a different USB port.
4. Trying the iPod on multiple computers.
5. Manually selecting the driver within Device Mananger in Windows 7 from "Unknown USB Device" to "Apple USB iPod Driver".
6. Restarting my computer, multiple times.
7. Resetting my ipod "Menu+Select buttons for 6-10 seconds"
From what I understand I could resolve this problem by restoring the iPod to its factory settings, but since I can't get it to be recognized in a computer I am stumped.
This will be my third iPod in 4 years that has crapped out (out of warranty of course) If I can't get this fixed I'm buying a Zune.

Iphoto will no longer recognize my camera, says it does not recognize the format....they are jpegs? And now it will not even open when I plug my Canon Eos Camera in to download. I have checked everything on the camera and it is working perfectly....

Iphoto will no longer open when attaching my Canon Eos Camera. I have checked the camera and everything is working perfecty. When I open it myself, Iphoto is working perfectly too. But now when I attach the camera, Iphoto no longer opens at all. Yesterday it did open after a really long wait but it kept saying that it did not recognize the "format" of the images....they were jpegs??? Then it flashed on and off and if I hit download at just the right second they would download. But today it won't work at all. Any suggestions.
thanks

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either. I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere. I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
Hope this helps
