Problems using POPCORN on new 17 inch Macbook pro

I just recently purchased a Macbook pro 17 inch and I have been trying to copy DVD's using POPCORN 1.03.
What I have done in the past with my old G4 was to use Mac Ripper to copy onto my external hard drive. Then use Popcorn to record the DVD and doing this all my copies have been fine with no problems apart from the time ( I had to leave my G4 to run overnight).
I've just upgraded to a 17 Macbook Pro and I have done the same process but for some reason the DVD does not recognise chapter 1. The DVD does not automatically play. But it I fast forward chapters 2 onwards they play as normal. If I want to start the DVD from the beginning I have to scan back from chapter 2.
I've tried using a slower speed and the problem stays the same. I've played the disc on a PC and it does start from the beginning though very jerky.
I've also tried burning a different stored DVD file and it does the same thing which leads me to think that it may be a hardware problem?
I've also tried running the Popcorn on it's own and with other apps running but it makes no difference.
I was wanting to get rid of my G4 but I may have to keep it for a while longer to burn DVDs?
Can anyone help me?

Jan5ki,
You may need to upgrade Popcorn 1.0.3 to Popcorn 2 (see also <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/25171" this link</a>) to get native Intel support --- Popcorn 1.0.3 was released about a year ago, prior to the release of your MacBook Pro. It's impressive it runs at all under Rosetta, but I'm pretty such the update will run better.
(p.s. You might re-ask the question in the MacBook Pro Forum, where the odds of fiding someone who's been through the same question firsthand is rather higher than in the eMac forum.)

  • Are both new 15-inch MacBook Pro models OK for Creative Cloud?

    The "cheaper" version of the new 15-inch MacBook Pro released 10/22/13 doesn't have discrete graphics, only Iris Pro. Is the integrated graphics card enough to run Creeative Cloud, or should I buy the more expensive one with discrete graphics

    I have the same question. With a fully maxed system (2.6GHz, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) there's no price difference. However the discrete graphics card seems like it will run down the battery quicker.
    It seems Photoshop will be able to use the IrisPro 5200 to offload certain processes. The previous versions of Intel HD Graphics chips are on the list of suported video cards.

    I am leaning towards getting the onboard graphics (Iris Pro 5200)

  • My new 13 inch Macbook Pro and FCP and FCS 2

    Until today I thought I could not run FCP and FCS 2 Full Suite because of my graphics card in my base, stock, 13" Macbook Pro. -- I'm being told that my 9400M with 256 shared memory will run these applications. That's good news to me if it's true. What are some of your views from the Pro camp please. I can bring up the memory and hard drive. I just shoot and edit in Standard Definition with my Canon Optura 50 MINI DV Tapes and my Canon HV20 with the same.
    I realize I am on the low end but will it work?

    Some of it will, although you might not be happy with the performance of Motion and Color will probably not install at all.

  • Using an early 2011 15 inch macbook pro to watch a rented dvd. the screen displayed a skipping over damaged section message, then the dvd froze. first unable to eject the dvd, now it can't be inserted. Hardware prblm? reset the superdrive?

    I was viewing a rented dvd when a "skipping damaged area" message was shown and then the dvd froze. At first I was unable to eject the dvd with the eject botton though the superdrive made "ejecting" noises, and followed the cue "finder using dvd" and ejected it. Now the drive will not accept any dvds. Does this sound like a hardaware problem, or is it possible that some sort of "reset" needs to take place?

    Before wasting your time heading to your local Apple Store, try resetting your SMC.  It doesn't work all the time, but sometimes it's just the thing to save you time.

  • 15 inch MacBook Pro non-retina or with Retina?

    Hello everyone
    I have the new iMac and got it in early December to replace my old 2008 MacBook Pro. I sold that one and now have decided to get a new 15 inch  MacBook Pro. But I am stuck on whitch one to buy.
    Here are the things that I will do with this computer
    Use all of the pre-loaded apps
    Download more from the Mac App Store
    Import pictures from my Nikion Camera, 64GB Black iPhone 5, 64GB Black iPad 4 into iPhoto and edit them in Aperture
    Use iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband
    Use Pages, Keynote, Numbers
    Here's the configuration I would buy if I get the non-retina model
    $1799 model
    4GB RAM
    256GB SSD
    1680X1050 Glossy display
    2.3GHz Quad-Core i7
    Here's the configuration I would buy if I get the retina model
    $2199 model standard configuration
    OR if there are any refurbished $2799 models from Apple's refurbished store
    Please let me know what you all think!
    Thanks for helping me!!!

    Personally, I would go for the non-retina display, and here are my reasons:
    1. It's far cheaper, and you're getting a very similar product.
    2. Yes, the Retina display comes with 8GB of RAM, and from what I know, with the newest models you can put 16GBs of RAM in them. If you ever needed more RAM, you can't replace it on your retina display model. However, you can go out and buy 8GBs of good RAM for $50, and replace the non-retina display RAM without voiding your warranty.
    3. If you ever want to upgrade your SSD, or switch over to a massive hard drive for the sake of storage capacity over speed, you can also do so without voiding your warranty on the non-retina display.
    Both of the displays are gorgeous, and while it's true that Retina display is prettier, the non-retina display is quite nice. Furthermore, if you ever need to do anything at all in your computer, you're out of luck with the Retina display, as the case is glued together. I personally have an old '09 MBP, before retina display, and the display is perfectly fine. You'll save a lot more money getting the non-retina display, and it will probably last you longer, seeing as SSD's tend to be more reliable than flash storage. True, they're the same thing, SSD's are alined in an array and are made for speed and reliability. If I were you, I'd go for the non-retina display.

  • What is the problem with 15-inch Macbook Pro model 2011 after connecting to TV with HDMI chord?

    Today we connected a 15-inch Macbook Pro model 2011 with HDMI chord to an Insigna Television. We plugged and unplugged couple of times. But recently the macbook pro is having technical issues. The following symptoms are:
    1. Macbook pro turns on and off
    2. The screen stays blue and keeps loading but does not load to the desktop so you can't access to anywhere
    3. The screen sometimes becomes fuzzy and the apple logo that shows before it loads to the desktop is fuzzy
    4. Sometimes fuzzy lines appear on the screen like you see on television when there's a bad signal
    5. The screen stays blue
    6. Sometimes little specks appear on the screen
    Only thing we did was turn it off and restart but it still leads to the same symptoms above.
    Does anyone have any clue what caused this problem? I am guessing it is due to the connection to the HDMI chord, since we didn't turn the macbook on and off when we plugged it, rather we just unplugged and plugged the chord while the macbook is running.
    Another theory might be watching movies from an online source but the first theory seems to make more sense.
    We scheduled a meeting with the genius bar tomorrow but does anyone might have any clue? And also any ideas how to fix this? This is an emergency because there are important files on the macbook we didn't back up and we hope the files are safe and we need to use the macbook ASAP. Let us know anything that might have caused this and/or any solutions or help. That would be appreciated and thank you.

    Hey there! Welcome to the Discrete GPU issue clube ... post your relate here >>> 2011 MacBook Pro and Discrete Graphics Card
    And for GOD SAKE! Call Apple to tell them that you're another user with such problem ...  that action can improve a future recall. BTW the fix price for your problem is around U$ 1000,00 ... that's the meaning of the recall attempt

  • Love Safari's new look, but on my 17-inch MacBook Pro the font on most pages is partly or all in an insipid light blue. I've tried changing all text to black on white to help my 83-year-old eyes, but no luck so far. Any tips?

    This is my first time using this site, but it's helpful so far. Not sure if I need to retype the wording in the Discussion box above, but will do so just in case.

    The simplest thing to try is a reset.
    With Safari running, click on Safari in the menu bar and select Reset Safari ....
    If that does not work, go to Safari / Preferences / Advanced.
    The selections I have are shown here:

  • Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it first?

    Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it up fully before you can use it. I do not want to damage the laptop by misusing the battery.

    Attach the charger and start charging the battery to 100%.  The good news is that after you have connected the charger, you may start using the MBP as well.
    Ciao.

  • Hooking up my late 2011 17 inch MacBook Pro to an ultra tv (4k resolution) for use as a monitor?

    Hey! I am interested in hooking up my late 2011 17 inch MacBook Pro to an ultra tv (4k resolution). My computer has native 1920x1080 but can I reach 4k using that tv as a monitor? I plan on using a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. Has anyone even tried this? I've heard rumors that the MacBook doesn't recognize that the tv has higher than 1920x1080 and so people use a hacked graphics card. It's all very confusing but if anyone has gotten this to work I'd be very interested in knowing how its done.

    Any updates to this with latest Maveriks OSX upgrade 10.9?
    I have an Active TB/HDMI adapter that coworker said he got to work with 4K Monitor at 3840.
    Still trying to get a hold of him to validate his MBP model, but think it is the same as mine, Late 2011 MBP
    All I am getting is 1920x1080 in options lisy with 10.9.2.

  • Using the optical drive of a MacBook Pro from new iMac for iTunes

    Can I connect my macbook pro to my new iMac (no optical drive) with ethernet cable and use the optical drive of the macbook pro to upload CDs to iTunes on the new iMac? 

    On my 17" MacBook Pro I use the eSata port for Black X Duet Hard Drive Docking station where I put 2 1TB Hitachi internal drives. They are swappable and are about $80.00US. I use the USB port for my system backup and a G-force 500 MB bus powered portable drive on the FW800 port just for the heck of it. It works out really well for me.

    You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.
