I want to know is there something wrong with my Macbookpro? I plan to take it to a Genius bar.
Its the 1.83 model with 128 megs of vram and 2 gigs of ram.
Would love to hear others experiences with this.
I also couldnt play HD content from the Redrock M2 site.
TIA

That file is a WMV (Windows Media Video). You can't play it on your Mac without third party software.

  • How can I convert an .m1v file for my MacBook to be able to play it?

    Hi!
    How can I convert an .m1v file for my MacBook to be able to play it?
    I tried numerous apps from the app store, but they failed
    Thanks!

    Hello:
    Rather than try to buy a box, I suggest you take the computer to a FedEx or UPS store.  They will wrap and safely package the device for a reasonable cost (I have shipped two iMacs this way).

  • Can the cover on the macbook pro be closed while playing music?

    can the cover on the macbook pro be closed while playing music?

    Air is drawn in through the keyboard for cooling, so I would recommend leaving it open 1/2-1" so the air can move.

  • Will my early 2008 MacBook Pro be able to run OS X Yosemite?

    Will my early 2008 MacBook Pro be able to run OS X Yosemite?

    I have the same Macbook Pro as you. You should read this Apple page: http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/?cid=wwa-us-kwg-mac-com   While you can install Yosmite, many cool features will not work on pre-2012 models, including: Handoff and Instant Hotspot, AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, Peer-to-Peer AirPlay and Power Nap. Additionally, if you have not already upgraded your iPhoto library from iPhoto 8.1.2 (as I have not), I believe you will need to purchase the upgrade after you install Yosemite based on what I read here:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6602872 . Good luck!  If you do or have proceeded with updating to Yosemite, please come back to this thread and share how the experience went. Thanks.

  • My Macbook Pro (13-2010) cannot play sound without a headphone

    Hi all,
    I tried my best to solve this problem but cannot make it. Could anyone shed some light on it?
    My Macbook Pro (13-2010) can play sound well with a headphone, everything is OK. But when I unplug the headphone, it cannot play sound. The keys on the keyboard cannot adjust the sound. A sound adjustment sigh will appear on the screen, with a stop sign at the bottem of the full volumn bar. The volumn bar does not change when I tried to change it by function keys.
    It just happened several days ago and I do not know why.
    Thank you for your help.
    Best,
    Vincent

    hmm... I got it worked by plugging in the headphones and unplugging many times...
    I hope it helps if you have the same problem.

  • Using my MacBook Pro DVD drive to play movies on my HD TV

    I just bought an HD tv and the Apple TV.  I have a MacBook Pro OS-X and was told that I could use its DVD drive to view DVD's on my HD  TV via the Apple TV.  I haven't found a way to do this.  Is it doable?  I have been able to view photos from iPhoto and play music from iTunes on the tv via the Apple tv.  I just don't see any options for the DVD drive.

    In order to do that you need to use mirroring, which requires a recent Mac (2011 or later) running Mountain Lion. If using older hardware or OS you can use a 3rd party option like Airparrot. The native DVD player is blocked from mirroring so you would need to use something like VLC

  • Will the new 2012 MacBook pro allow me to play my Games console via the hdmi slot?

    Hi, I am looking to purchase the new MacBook pro 15 inch retina display for work. I was wondering whether I would be able to play my games console 360/ps3 via the hdmi slot as this would save me prove buying a tv for my flat.

    I don't think you can. This is because the there is no "source" on any Mac, this means that you can only use the computer. So what I'm saying is that the MBP with retina display is only "out" so you can only use it to show what's on the monitor on your tv.

  • Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?, Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?

    Hi
    I am curious about why I am unable to play HD videos on my Macbook Pro? If i am using an HDMI cable to an HD TV, then I can't play any HD videos?
    Please help (my computer knowledge is limited).
    Curious learner

    The short answer is you should be able to, but tell us what happens when you try and we'll try to help.
    Can you play the video on your Mac's screen (not connected to the TV)?
    When you connect to the TV with HDMI, do you see a desktop appear? (Before you start the movie.)
    What kind of movie are you playing, and from where?

  • My one year old macbook pro will no longer play DVD's.. why?

    After a year, without any problems playing DVD's, my macbook pro has suddenly decided that it no longer wishes to have anything to do with DVD's and spits them out at the first opportunity. Can anyone out there help to rebuild this once loving relationship.

    SuperDrives can fail and you don't have many options in replacing them. You can get Apple to replace it or travel over to OWC - here - and look at the options for replacing the SuperDrive yourself.
    Before doing anything, however, I'd take your computer into your local Apple Store and have them diagnose the problem. That won't cost you a thing. If you're still under AppleCare warranty, they should replace the drive for nothing. If you're not under warranty go in knowledgeable, at least, at what it would cost you to replace your SuperDrive yourself - and then find out what Apple would charge.
    Good luck - it just sounds as if you SuperDrive has bitten the dust...

  • Why is my macbook pro not authorized to play my itunes music nor accepting my mobileme account info?

    I loaded my music on my iPhone 4 (which plays just fine from there) but when it syncs to my macbook pro it says this computer is not authorized to play my music. To authorize this computer it asks me to log into MobileMe (for which I know both the email and password and can log into in another screen) but it says it does not recognize my account, password or any security questions. Any help in getting the so-called integrated MobileMe/Apple system to recognize each other so I can play my music on all of my devices????

    Try resetting your Apple ID password.

  • Macbook Pro not able to burn from External DVD drive

    Hi there,
    I just bought a Samsung SE-208DB external drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro 8,1 13inch and at first the drive was detected by my Macbook Pro and I was able ot burn a disk but now when I plug in the device, it powers on for a bit then powers off to were I can't eject the disk anymore.Then sometimes it works just fine. I am using an external USB hub with AC plug power so I am confident power to the USb isn't an issue. I just wanted to know are Macbook Pro known to have issues with external drives?
    And for those wondering why I don't just use the internal DVD on my Macbook Pro, I replaced it with an SSD for dedicated Windows 7 operating system.
    Any ideas on how to approached this problem? Should I just get another brand of external DVD drive. I know I can't get Apples as for some strange reason, Apple makes those only compatible with Macs that didn't come with DVD drives like the Macbook Air.
    Thanks

    Ok I solved it.
    The problem is that the drive uses too much power from the usb port.
    You can use one of those cables with on one end two usb plugs and on the other end a mini usb. Connect the coresponding usb for power to an iphone charger or any 5v/1amp charger.
    Or you can do what I did. I used a usb hub. In one usb port I connected my iphone charger and the drive to another usb port on the hub.
    I have just burned my first succesful disc.
    Regards

    Very great point, so after exhausting all other options (repair disk permissions and booting up with install disc and repairing the disk) with no success, I did just what you recommended and erased the whole hard drive and re-installed the OS.
    Ran into this problem a few times while attempting to erase the hard drive: the erasing/formatting would fail when the hard drive would randomly disappear from the list of drives!!!!
    And as you can suspect - even with a freshly wiped hard drive, it STILL is freezing!! It's not a hard freeze like everything stops working, or I get the grey screen of death...the beach ball just keeps on spinning, Command+Tab doesn't allow me to switch between apps, but I can move the cursor around, adjust window positions, etc.
    So here's what I'm suspecting - there is a hardware problem with the hard drive in that it will suddenly shut off, but leaving the OS still displaying, but of course not allowing the user to do anything. If this is the case, I'm assuming a replacement hard drive would be in order.
    Is this likely a hard drive problem, logic board problem, over-heating problem, or what? Any insight would be extremely helpful.
    Thanks again!!!
