NERO burned DVDs not compatible with iMacs?

Can anyone confirm that DVDs burned with NERO
(in this case NTSC, Region 0/NO region code)
are not compatible with iMacs' DVD player?
When I insert these DVDs they get mounted, but DVD player can't play them.
Is there a way to fix this?
Or does the maker of the DVDs have to use special settings in NERO
to make them compatible?
Thanks!

Hi coxorange;
Since Nero is not an Apple product, I suggest you ask the vendor who wrote it.

Vivitar Mini Digital Camera not compatible with iMac?

I bought this Vivitar Mini Digital Camera the other day, and it came with software that isn't compatible with my computer. I checked out a few boards, and a few more boards, only to find out that other people with Macs were having the same problem. No one really had a solution for this problem. I connected the USB cable, and tried to see if maybe iPhoto or Image Capture would allow me to import photos. Neither one would. The software that came with the camera say "Arcsoft Photo Impression4.0". On one of the message boards, I remember someone posting something about not to even bother downloading it online because it wouldn't work. I looked on Google for hours, and can't seem to find anyone with answers. Thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone can help. If not, guess I'm returning the camera!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does the camera have a removable memory card? If so then use a card reader with it and iPhoto will import them.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPod classic not compatible with iMac

All of my music is on a three-year-old iMac and when I plug in my new iPod it says that they are not compatible. And when I try to install Leopard that doesn't work either (the upgrade). Do I have any other options?

Why not go to the install forum in the Leopard category and post your install problem?

My LG40 DVD burner does not work with iMac. Pls advice

It is a portable DVD writer. According to LG system requirements are Windows 7 or Mac X v10.54 or higher. Can´t open files burnt on my old Mac and not possible to burn files from iMac.

Both Rudegar and Babowa are correct!
You need to supply your own burning software for your iMac to burn discs from your new external optical drive.
Since Apple doesn't integrate optical drives into many of their Mac models any longer, Apple doesn't supply any type of disc burning software any longer.
Older versions of the iLife suite of apps (iLife '09 or '11) have a compatible version of iDVD.
You would need to purchase either of these.
Another purchased CD/DVD burning software is Roxio Toast.
OR there is the free, open source optical disc burning software, Burn.

The DVD's I'm burning are not compatible with common DVD players

what am I doing wrong?
I guess there has to be others that has the same problem, I have read this thread but can't find any good answer.
All I can find searching here and Google is that I should change the "playback" DVD player, that it's not good enough for me!
I've done a 2x DVD package and I get a lot of feedback that Disc#1 is unplayable.
About the system since everybody asks for that:
MacBookPro - a lot of ram
the prject is on a external drive with enough space
FinalCutExpress - exported to selfcontained MOV files
iDVD (iLife'08)
everything works fine in iDVD - Save as DiscImage - burned in DiskUtility
Errors:
PS2 - reading disc... for 2 minutes - disc error
a DELL pc hangs (that could of course just be a coincidence crash
a TOSHIBA or HITACHI dvd player (new - plays everything) just says LOAD... in display
I've used Toast on the last ones - and they seem to work fine ?:-)

I have this same issue and I don't get it!
I just got done burning a DVD for a friend of the family who died - a slideshow of her life that was supposed to be played at the funeral. The funeral home called 10 minutes before the ceremony and told me that it didn't work in their player! (I've had this problem before with other DVDs I've made using iDVD. What's going on?
I always check the DVDs in my own home player first, and they work just fine - and our home player is not anything fancy.
Anyone have any advice? This is unacceptable! iDVD is not doing what it is advertised as being able to do!!!
Thanks for any help

Best DVD player compatible with iMAC?

Not all DVD players accept DVD-R burned on iMAC.
Anyone have a suggestion on what choose?
For use Domiciled in the UK.
Thanks

I have burned several DVDs onto TESCO Branded DVD-R discs.
None of which I tried to view on my in house Toshiba DVD player worked satisfacorily.
Not surprising. Just think of them as mini-frisbees!
Try one of the brands most of here use and recommend: Verbatim DVD-R (Sainsbury's sell those), Maxell or Fuji, and of course the best: Taiyo Yuden if you can find them.

IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open. So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

Maybe. See:
Reverting to previous version of Numbers

Cannot install Logic from DVD version 9.0.0. because it is not compatible with the latest OS 10.8.3

As I tried to install Logic 9.0.0 the OS comes out with a message saying that the OS is not compatible with this version of Logic.
I have Logic conventional DVD Software package.
How can I get this done?
Any help, I appreciate!
Thanks!

No, the message prevents me from installing.
Now, I took the App Icon from my Laptop which has the latest Logic Update installed and throw it in my new iMac's Application Folder. It seems to work OK.
What I havent installed are the Additional Content and all the DVDs that come with Logic.

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

I want to purchase iMac i7 and want to know if my pc based LG dvd player (usb) is compatible ? also my external Hard Drive (usb) is it compatible with iMac?

wiil my PC extermnal dvd player and external hard drive be compatible with iMac ore do I have to by all new stuff?
Can data be recovered from Hard drive and transfered to new iMac simply?
Thank you for your time and consioderation,
depending on this answer will decide if i change over to iMac or not
Pierre

All USB drives should be compatible hardware-wise. If the drive is formatted NTFS, then you can copy from it, but not write to it. If it is formatted FAT or exFAT, then you can both read and write.

How do you burn a video file not compatible with quicktime?

Hello all,
I am very new at this so I apologize if the solution is very simple - i just can't seem to work this iDVD thing...
I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find exactly what I need, please point me in the right direction if a solution has already been posted elsewhere.
Okay, so my problem is trying to burn movies to DVD. I don't actually have to use iDVD, but it's the only solution i've come up with. My problem is when I add a movie file (lets say, something that will ONLY OPEN with VLC), and press preview, no movie files show up... but when i put in a video file that will play with quicktime, the preview works fine.
So i suspect the preview wont play because the file is not compatible with quicktime.
have any of you tried this? All i want is to be able to play a downloaded movie on the dvd player downstairs
regards,
Peter

iDvd is not a general burn utility. However, there's a very good chance (whatever that file is) that Toast will burn it to Dvd-R. And if not (which is unlikely) then do as suggested already and use Mpegstream Clip. It's 100% free! However Mpeg 2 playback component may run you a few bucks (if needed).
Or the alternative is to invest hundreds of dollars in Apple software and use apps like FCP and DVDSP (or FCS) along with QT Pro. Nine times out of ten this combination tends to work well ... but it ain't cheap (not to mention a rather steep learning curve).

I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S. I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".

I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S. I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored". I just purchased the iPhone 4S today so I know it's not the phone. How can I get my information back?

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

HP C5380 DVD/CD Printing Feature Not Compatible With Mac

I purchased this all-in-one specifically for the feature of printing direct to cd/dvds. Other functions work fine but this will not. After contacting HP Support I am informed that this feature is not compatible with Mac. Surely this is false advertising as nowhere on the packaging can I find any reference to this. Under specifications it shows that system requirements were Mac OSX 10.5.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have searched mac support but can find no reference to this. Interested to hear other viewpoints and experiences.

Hello,
I would try printing directly on CD/DVD from the application HP Photosmart Studio.. Follow the steps below:
1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
2. Select an image from the Photosmart Studio library/browser
3. Choose "Create" in the toolbar
4. In the menu on the left, choose the following settings:
- Project: CD/DVD Label
- Label Type: CD/DVD (5 inch/120 mm)
5. Move the image from the media bar to the label, resize it if necessary
6. Click "Print" on the toolbar
Regards,
Vicarious

DVD Player error: not compatible with OS

Trying to fix a coworkers G5. She has 10.5.8 running, and can't play any DVDs. She is up to date on all software updates.
When I went to the DVD player settings, I couldn't choose "DVD Player". When I tried to open the application it told me that DVD Player is not compatible with this version of the OS X.
Can I reinstall that application? If so, where do I find it? Is it on the system installation disk? Do I need to do a reinstall of OS X?? Any other options?
Thanks for any help given.
