Subpictures work in DVD player on MacBook Pro but not through TV

Hi,
I've put together a fairly simple DVD menu using Photoshop CS3 and Encore CS3 on OSX Leopard. All the buttons consist of text (with drop shadow) and then a (=1) duplicate layer (without drop shadow) as the highlight.
Everything works fine and as expected in the preview and also works fine having burnt the project to DVD and playing it back through my MacBook Pro. The problem occurs when I put the DVD into a regular player (i've tried 2 different units) and through a TV. None of the highlights display.
I've tried setting the Colour Set as 'Automatic' and 'Menu Default'. I've also tried breaking this down to a really simple test file (from scratch) which has no real content, just links to other menus, but I get the same thing. I've burnt soooo many DVD's trying to get this to work.
Anyone else experienced this? I'm lost for what to do next and going slightly mad.
Thanks,
Chris

HI
same problem here, heard that adobe is aware of this problem but as we know adobe updates can take quite a time. Also i have read that taking the project to a mac with tiger an then burn it would work.
Ceep in mind that it doesn't work to burn a ISO and than burn it with other software.
Unfortunly you can not open a Encore CS3 mac project on Encore CS3 Windows.
So i think there is no solution so far, if so i like to here this of course.
Best thing to do now:
1 sent lots and lots of E-mails to adobe.
2 Finish your project leopard encore CS3 mac, than find someone with a mac tiger and burn a ISO so you can burn it later on your own Mac
(i havent tryd it bud it shoult work i think)
Cheers, stan

This is the same question I've asked 3x in 24 hours, but it doesn't appear in the listing. Maybe I need help in phrasing questions?:)Q. why can I play some DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not on desk top Apple (they're both -1 year olds

Hi
This'll be my third attempt in 24 hrs to ask the same question. maybe I need guidance on phrasing questions?:)
Q. Why can I always play DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not always on my desk top Apple. They're both less than year old. The desk top sometimes displays a message that says I have to change regions (from Australia to South America...doh...)

Region Code 4:
Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.
Includes Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, New Guinea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela
Apparently my first response was off in left field. The DVD player has its own code. My recommendation is to change the code when it asks. It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code. If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

DVD player on Macbook pro will not work

I have a couple of problems with my Macbook pro:
1. it will not recognise any devices all of a sudden i.e my camera
2. DVD player will not work and keeps coming up with an error message.
please help

Help us help you by posting more info:
MacBook Pro variant and screen size (there have been many since the MBP was introduced 8 years ago)
Mac OSX version
If the DVD failure with burned disks or commercial DVDs? Will it mount a commercial CD?
If you don't know your MBP version and your OS version is 10.7 or higher, you can get it by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button to get this:

SMS relay only works with one iMac or Macbook Pro, but not both?

I recently got a new iMac (5K). I already own a Macbook Pro 13" (bought in 2013). When I got the new iMac, I wanted to transfer all my data from my Macbook onto the new iMac, so I used the most recent time machine back-up from my Macbook to install onto the new iMac. No issues there. I also own an iphone 5s and ipad mini (1st generation), all with the most recent software updates. Approximately 1 week ago, SMS relay stopped working between my iMac and my iphone. I could type an SMS text message on my iMac, send it, and although it would transmit to the recipient, it would say "not delivered" on my iMac (it would show up as delivered successfully on my iphone). Consequently any SMS messages received would not show up on my iMac. I use the same login for my macbook pro and my iMac and for some reason my iphone stopped listing my iMac as one of the devices for SMS relay. I was on-line with Apple support for 3+ hours yesterday trying to figure out why this wasn't working. I did an SMC reset which temporarily fixed the problem, but as soon as I tried to use SMS relay with both the macbook pro and the iMac, the phone would only recognize one of them and ultimately always choose the macbook pro.
iMessage chats still sync just fine but the SMS chats do not any more. I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue, and if they did, are there any fixes?
Thanks,
Jon

Both the mini-displayport plugs and TB plugs are physically compatible which is why you can plug it in. But if the iMac has a mini-displayport for video it won't work with the TB display.
Check your System Profile to see if it tells you whether you have a TB port. And if there is no information about that post here or look up for yourself the kind of ports for that model of iMac. System Profiler will give yo that information (click Hardware on the left). From the model information it can be definitively determined whether that imac supports TB.
Also, so long as the Displays system preferences is not showing an Arrangement tab then it is not detecting the second display.

Oh, that's what it was? My father had told me it was "the graphics chip", so that's why i was confused. I forgot to mention that the DVD drive makes the start up noises it makes when it goes to read a DVD, but it simply stops trying to read it after a few seconds...

Purchase an external DVD drive or buy the Apple USB SuperDrive.

.osx file extension works on MacBook Pro but not Mac Pro

So I have a file that was created, I believe in Macromedia Flash (not certain) but it has a .osx extension on it. It works just fine on my MacBook Pro, but won't work on a Mac Pro. Both have Leopard, both have most of the same software on them... Can anybody offer any help?

jaypie77,
First, you must identify the application that created the file. If it truly was Macromedia Flash, fine. Once you know which app created the file, make certain that the same application exists on the Mac Pro. If it does, set the file to open in that application: Open a Getinfo window for the file, then use the "Open With..." dialogue to choose Macromedia Flash (or the correct application) to open the file.

I keep getting kicked off of my wifi with my MacBook Pro but not with my IPAD?

I keep getting kicked off of my wifi with my MacBook Pro but not with my IPAD, what do I do?

Hi, mmayers.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting. The second article covers the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

This is supposed to happen, licensing issue mean that Apple can't AirPlay protected content to other devices. You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.

USB Card reader works on MacBook Pro but not Mac Pro

I have a random "All-in-1" card reader from Quantaray. I'm trying to mount my CF card because it takes forever and a day to import HD video directly from my Canon 5D Mk II.
It works on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010). Both computers are running 10.6.8. All I have to do is plug it in and it appears on the desktop on my Macbook. But not on my Mac Pro.
I've already tried resetting the PRAM and SMC. No dice
It shows up in the System Profiler under the USB High Speed port as a usb card reader but I can't find it anywhere; not even in Disk Utility.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update

Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but now NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update. The printer worked previously with NO PROBLEMS. The printer is online & connected to the WiFi, not issues.
WHY???!!!???

You probably would get better answers in either the iPhone or iOS forums. This is for Macbooks. I've asked the hosts to move it.

Printing wireless via Macbook Pro but not via iPad

I was able to install, print my HP Deskjet InkAdvantage 3515 from my Macbook Pro but when tried printing using my iPad, AirPrint printer not available. How come? Did set-up wireless config in printer too.

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.
