Playing DVDs on a 15" MacBook Pro

I've created DVDs in iDVD on my MacBook Pro that play well in other DVD players. However, they will not play in the DVD Player app. on the MacBook Pro. I keep getting the message "Supported Disk Not Available". The disk does not even show up on the desktop. Any suggestions?

You can burn a disk that then can't be played in the same player? That's odd. What format is the disk? Such as it is DVD+, DVD-, DL, etc.

  • DVD appears zoomed on macbook pros + macbooks but fine on imacs+DVD players

    Hi
    My showreel DVD appears zoomed on macbook pros + matchbooks when inserted but plays fine on imacs+DVD players
    It's as if the bottom 2 inches don't fit on the screen - to resolve this i need to hit escape - which resizes to a small window and displays correctly - from here if I select full screen the DVD displays correctly.
    any ideas?
    thanks

    Check the prefs in the DVD player. It's what controls how the image appears when launched.

    if a Retina Macbook, youd need a superdrive or external DVD player.
    otherwise insert DVD into non-Retina macbook Pro.

  • How do I configure a Pioneer DVR-XD10 external dvd writer to my macbook pro laptop?

    How do I configure a Pioneer DVR-XD10 external dvd writer to my macbook pro laptop?
    I read online that you could use an external dvd writer on a macbook pro when the internal dvd writer died.
    Please help?
    It shows power running through the external dvd writer when I plug in the two usb ends into the respective ports, but it doesn't recognize it when I try to write media to a DVD.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
    1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

  • Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro

    Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro?

    Because relatively few people used it and Apple wanted to decrease the size/price of the computers.

  • I am unable to insert a DVD/CD on my MacBook Pro

    I Am unable to insert a DVD/CD into my MacBook Pro. How do I overcome this?

    Are you certain that there is nothing inside such as a mini DVD?  Does the DVD drive appear dead?  You may have to have it examined at an Apple store genius bar.

  • Can i play a cd on my macBook Pro version 10.7.5?

    I downloaded photo's on a cd and now I am trying to bring them up via the DVD player on my MacBook Pro, OSX Lion, but it won't open.

    make sure the CD you're trying to read is one that is compatible w/ your model of mac. if it isn't that's why it won't open it.
    you can go to the apple support site: apple.com/support and find tech specs to see what CD/DVD work with your mac

  • Can i play The sims 4 on macbook pro 13 inch

    i'm going to buy a new macbook 13 inch with retina display,and i really want to know can i play this game on macbook? and how about the new macbook? can it play the sims4?

    Mik3OH,
    if the fans go like crazy, it’s because of the heat that results from running compute-intensive software. The fans activate to expel the heat from within your MacBook Pro, so that your electronic components don’t get cooked. If you want to run demanding software, then you absolutely do not want to prevent your fans from running — unless frying your MacBook Pro is your goal. You’ll also want to make sure that when you run such software, that nothing blocks the airflow into and out of the MacBook Pro — so play such games with your MacBook Pro on a hard flat surface, rather than on a soft cushioned surface.

  • Lost my application dvd that came with macbook pro, early 2011. any alternatives to get the applications in that??

    lost my application dvd that came with macbook pro, early 2011. any alternatives to get the applications in that??

    I'm not sure how this is an iTunes issue, but anyway, other than buying the apps from the Mac App Store (note that iDVD and iWeb are not available via the App Store), the only alternative is to call Apple support and give them the serial number of your Mac. They can usually sell you a new disk set for a reasonable fee.
    Regards.

  • Why can't I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro ?

    I transferred some video footage to "iMovie' for editing and when I tried to burn it to a dvd disc, there was no option for that operation. All of the choices were to transfer it to You Tube, of facebook.Can I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro laptop or not?

    If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
    Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"

  • Replace dvd burner in a macbook pro 1,1

    good morning,
      I need to replace a DVD Drive in a Macbook Pro 1,1 A1150 and was wondering if there was a way to put a DL burner in it as I will have it apart anyway.  The current drive loads and reads disks but does not eject them correctly.  Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Yes it works great doesn't it.  I replaced mine the day I got it.  I purchased the parts first and then bought the mac.  I got 2 intel 320's 600gb hard drives.  I purchased an optibay and then put both of the hard drives in the macbook pro and then did a raid 0, so now I have 1.2tb of space.  I also purchased 16gb of memory for it, so that couple with the quad-core i7 2.3Ghz processor it's blazing fast, it starts up in 7 seconds.  I love it.
