  • Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc

    Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc, does anyone know how to fix this?  The photo's I burnt on the exact same type of disc work fine in both pc and macbook but the videos will only play on the pc.

    If you are trying to play these on quicktime then what video format are those videos?
    Wmp's?  You need to install Flip4Mac. 
    Most other formats?  Install Perian.
    Or just use vlc instead.  It's a much better, more powerful, and more general video player.

    Ok, I hope I'm not steering you in the wrong direction, but I've just found this on the support site for the software.

  • HT4848 I'm trying to restore my MacBook Air but it tells me I need to purchase OS X mountain lion which I have but it says I haven't and I obviously can't put a disc in because MacBook Airs don't take discs. What do I do?

    Thank you Terence for your help.  I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive.  so i felt sort of ok.  but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted.  it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it.  my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this.  i have 10 years of photos and videos.  so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup.  i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups.  i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all!  do you know why that is?  all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful.  thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash.  especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed.  any answers you have would be great. thank you.

  • My project is set up with "rotation" menu intro, video, and then "rotation" on end, however, when you put DVD disc in DVD player, menu does not come up on front end, it goes straight to the video.  Is there some step I am missing?

    Open your iDVD project and go into the Map mode.  Made sure the autostart bin on the left is empty.
    Click to view full size
    If you find a video in that bin remove it, save the project as a disk image and check the disk image with DVD Player.  Then you can burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utilitiy at 4x for optimal burning.

  • Software wont automatically start when I put the disc in the Computer

    Whenever I put a disc in the computer, this one being the iPod mini disc to load up, it won't auomatically start. The cd goes on the desktop, but when you click it there is no installer option, its just folder after folder. can someone help me???

    Hello, Kaitlyn.
    I don't have an iPod Mini, so what I'm talking directly about is the CD that came with my shuffle - it seems to be the same CD, though.
    Put the CD in your drive.
    Double click on the CD's icon. You'll probbaly want a copy of the mini's user guide on your computer, so drag the icon labeled 'iPod mini User Guide' onto your machine; the folder where you keep your user documents, or wherever you like.
    If you already have iTunes on your machine (the mini's guide says you need 4.7 or later), you don't need to install the copy that comes on the CD. If you need it, double click on the folder named 'iTunes xxxx'. (Mine is 4.7.1) Read the 'Read Before You Install iTunes" document. Double click on the 'iTunesx.mpkg' icon. (Mine is iTunes4.mpkg) This will install iTunes on your computer; follow the instructions it gives you. You may also have to install QuickTime, if you don't have it.
    Double click the folder called 'iPod installer'. Double Click the 'iPod.mpkg' icon. This will install the iPod software on your computer. On my machine, it's located in Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater.localized
    Good luck

  • I download to my laptop and burn a disc. But when I put that disc on my home computer none of song info. show up. What I am missing.

    Yes, that is correct..
    I think it is good to start over fresh and please use all names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. NOT names Apple will recommend in the airport utility setup wizard.. they are simply wrong.
    Much less issues by sticking with network standards..
    Passwords also met the same criteria only can be 8-20 characters or even more if you are totally paranoid.. We all should be partly paranoid.
    But names can be 2-8 characters and work just as well.

  • I have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings, when i put it back on my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded back to the same computer

    i have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings because my email was hacked, when i downloaded the music back to my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded . how can i download all my music back?
    michel p.

    I usually err on the sideof caution when someone says "downloaded" and take it to mean anything fro actually downloaded, to copies, to imported, to moved (frolder to folder), but even if they were "downloaded"... if the old email was hacked, and subseuqently closed out, that leaves the downloaded files "orphaned" if you will, belonging to the old ID. So, while they may be on the HD, they're inaccessible now.
    One of the biggest reasons I NEVER keep anything in my library with DRM employed in it.  I bought it. I own it. I'm not going to get locked out of it.

  • HT204135 when i put a disc in the computer to download a program is the shiny side face me or away from me

    which way do you insert a disc

    If it's tray-loading CD/DVD drive the shiny side should be underneath, i.e. the printed side uppermost. For a slot loader - as you insert the disk the printed side should face you, the shiny side faces backwards.

  • Slot-loaded optical drive make hissing noise without any disc inside

    I got the MBP 15" (mid-2010) two months ago. Recently I found the optical drive made hissing noise even when there was no disc inside. It sounds like trying to mount or eject the disc. I am not sure it is hardware-related or software-releated problems. Can someone help me?

  • I erased by Hard drive without backing up. Now, when I put the install disc one inside, it says that Mac os x cannot be installed on this computer. The computer was running Mac os x 10.5.8. Any help?

    I erased by Hard drive without backing up. Now, when I put the install disc one inside, it says that Mac os x cannot be installed on this computer. The computer was running Mac os x 10.5.8. Any help?

    Boot from your DVD by switching on the Mac & inserting the disc, restart it & hold the "C" key. Once the installer window loads & you have selected your language, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu. You will then need to select your disk from the menu within Disk Utility & choose how you wish to format. It should be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Once it has formatted, you should then be able to install the OS.
    PLEASE REMEMBER...that formatting a disk will completely erase it's content. Be sure that you don't wish to recover any of your previous content before doing any of the above.

  • Macbook Pro turns off when I put my iPhone by the left speaker

    I have a Retina Macbook Pro from 2012 and an iPhone 5c.  When I put my iPhone in a certain spot just under the left speaker of the computer, the computer will go into sleep mode without any buttons being pressed.  Is this something I should be concerned about, because it seems really odd.

    Magnets inside the iPhone can trigger sleep. That is normal.
    Keep iPhone away from the MBP.
    When you close the lid, magnets placed inside the lid triggers the sleep.
