When playing DVD's on my Macbook my TV states "mode not supported". Any ideas?

The DVD may be in PAL TV format and not compatible with North America, Japan, parts of South America and Asian equipment which is NTSC. PAL is compatible with Europe, Asia and parts of South America.

  • Cannot play yahoo games anymore on my mac- java will not update any ideas

    i used to play cards on yahoo games, but can't anymore....the games won't load....any ideas? thx!

    Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?

    Hi Jake,
    It's impossible to know without troubleshooting, but it sure sounds like a bad adapter or cable.

  • No sound when playing DVDs, yet fine with bluray

    my sony bluray does not have sound when playing dvds. it acts fine when using blu ray. any suggestions?

    Hello jc1942_69, thank you for your message. Welcome to SONY Community!
    For further assistance, please let us know with the model number of your Blu-ray disc player. As alternative, you can check the link below: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=264
    However, to troubleshoot your Blu-ray disc player in a general way. Follow the steps below:
    1. Turn the Blu-ray Disc player on and make sure the correct video input is selected on the TV.
    2. Press the Home button on the Blu-ray Disc player remote.
    3. Once the menu is displayed, press the Left arrow button on the remote and navigate to Setup.
    4. On Setup, use the Down arrow button and go to Resetting and press the Enter button.
    5. Under Resetting, select either Reset to Factory Default Settings or Initialize Personal Information.
    NOTES:
    Reset to Factory Default Settings option will display another menu where you can reset the current network, audio and video settings on the player, select All Settings if you desire to restore everything.
    Initialize Personal Information will erase all personal information stored on the player and some Internet apps.
    6. Go through each of the two options if you desire to completely restore the Blu-ray Disc player.
    Hopefully this post helps you! 

  • Satellite 1100-Z14: I get the only picture but no sound when playing DVD's

    I know mine is a fairly old notebook,but despite updating with latest firmware, I have an intermittent problem when playing DVD's (Reg 2) in that I get the picture but no sound, particularly with some older DVD's.
    CD's are ok.
    Toshiba repair agent says it is a software problem and they only deal with hardware problems.
    Can anyone tell me how I can deal with this problem please ? ( apart from getting a later model ! )

    I think I may have stumbled on the problem, I use IntervideoDVD7 and under audio effects there is an option
    'Sydney Theatre' etc, I changed it to 'off' and the sound cames back. maybe I should study their manual a bit more !

  • Quality loss when playing DVD authored in Encore on a HD flat screen

    Hi,
    I authored a DVD in Encore and i noticed that when i played it on my pc it looked fine but when played using a DVD player on a HD flat screen and projector there is a significant quality loss- the image became pixelated and glittery. I tried playing 3 other professional videos and they were all fine. Something must be wrong in the way i am authoring my video. The encore file is set to 720x576 at 25fps. I created a .psd menu page to match these dimension and besides the movies, both the menu page i created and the menu templates that are already there in the library when you buy the software, look glittery when played with a projector or HD flat screen and projector. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Lack of control over users players/TVs is a problem. And you can try to provide some instruction.
    You are right to test your product to see if you have a reasonable chance of your DVDs looking good.
    First, test them on a DVD player and a standard definition TV. Your test on the PC is not sufficient. If they do not look good here, you have  problems somewhere in your workflow. (I suspect this is the case. In my tests below, I see no flashing or issues like what you describe.)
    If okay there, you need an upscaling DVD player to test on your HD TV. You should also explore the options on that TV for setting size.
    For example, I just put a DVD in my Bluray player (hooked via HDMI to an HD 1080p TV). I can set the player and the TV separately to various resolution settings. Forcing the player to 480 and the TV to Normal gives a picture that looks like the original version, using a regular DVD player set to a 4:3 TV. But when I set the Bluray player back to "HDMI auto" (for the resolution), and the TV to normal, I see a pretty respectible picture.
    I did the same sort of test using a regular DVD player via regular AV cable. Discovered I had it set to the wrong TV type! I could not see a lot of difference in the picture, even if I stretched it. (It was distorted, of course, but not pixelated, just not the crisp look of HD.)

  • "Mode not supported" when connecting MacBook Pro to HDTV

    When I connect my MacBook Pro to the SAMSUNG widescreen HDTV and hit "Detect Displays", it does detect it as VGA Display and it gives me a bunch of options for resolutions and refresh rates, but there was no "Options" tab where I could check or uncheck "Overscan" and even keeping the refresh rate at 60 Hz, and even trying mirrored and non-mirrored screens, nothing worked. It still said "Mode not supported". I used a dual-link DVI to YPbPr cable which I just bought and my friend can connect his MacBook Pro to his HDTV with the same cable, but it doesn't seem to work for me. What's wrong?

    Try using an app like to get the stranince resolution:

  • I am having trouble trying to boot from my lion osx install disk on a 2007 macbook.  The disk ejects when I start up with the option key depressed.  Anyone have any ideas?

    I am having trouble trying to boot from my lion osx install disk on a 2007 macbook.  The disk ejects when I start up with the option key depressed.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Thank you.

    How did you get a Lion OSX install disc? They don't exist. Do you mean the gray disks that came with your 2007 MacBook?
    If you mean the gray disks, try starting up with the "c" key held down.
    What version of OSX is on your MacBook now? Have you tried booting from the Recovery partition?

  • MacBook Mini-DVI to VGA - Samsung 32" LCD - Mode Not Supported

    I followed the instructions on Apple's site to use the MacBook with the lid closed and an external LCD. It worked perfectly the first time I tried it. (I believe in 1920 x 1024). It seemed a little hard to read so I changed the Display resolution, then encountered the "Mode Not Supported" on my LCD. I unhooked and used my MacBook to change the settings back, but the MacBook seems to revert to the "Mode Not Supported" resolution when I close the lid. Any suggestions? Can I reset the Display Preferences on my MacBook?

    I think this procedure should work, but it requires an external USB keyboard.
    - Shut down the Mac.
    - Have all the following connected:
    - MacBook power supply
    - External display
    - USB keyboard and mouse
    - Open the lid on the MacBook and hit the power button.
    - Immediately close the lid on the MacBook and start holding down the Shift key on the USB keyboard.
    - Release the Shift key once you see the spinning gear on the gray screen on the external display.
    The above procedure should cause the Mac to start in Safe mode and hopefully will finish booting into a useable screen. If that is the case, go into Displays preferences and select a known working resolution different from the one the Mac started up in under Safe mode. Now restart normally. Hopefully the newly selected resolution will persist through the normal restart and you will have a working external screen again.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro to a Samsung Tv. (Mode not supported)

    Hi, I have a macbook pro mid 2010, when connected to an external tv, i get the mirroring option, however when i uncheck the mirroring option (cause i need 2 desktops screen instead of one), my external monitor shows " Mode not supported ". I have a samsung LCD TV. It works perfectly with mirroring option, but I don't want a mirroring option..... Can anyone help?

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch early 2011.
    The new features available in OS X Yosemite like Continuity, Handoff,etc are not supported in this model.
    I did upgrade RAM to avoid any possible slowdown.
    I found replacing the HD with SSD is  too expensive for  a 4 years old model.
    Replacing the CPU/GPU is not for amateurs.
    If you think that rebuilding a Mac part by part is a viable option, please go ahead and rebuild it.
    Best.
