Why won't my new macbook pro recognise a recorded dvd?

I have a burned dvd of family wedding photos. It works fine in my old HP laptop (Windows) but isnt recognised as anything other than a blank disc in the MacBook Pro harddrive...... any ideas?

When it was burned it may have been burned using Windows software that either excluded compatibility to be read on a Mac or you didn't select that option.

  • Why won't my new Macbook Pro boot from old cloned macbook 10.6

    Just got my new Macbook Pro 10.8 up and running and used Migration Assistant to bring over all my files from an old Macbook 10.6 which has a faltering GPU. One of the audio apps I brought over needs a new authorization / unlock, and so, while I wait for that I thought I'd start the new MBP from a cloned copy of the the Macbook which had the audio app that I need (I'm in the middle of editing and have a deadline). To my surprise the MBP won't boot from the cloned Macbook.
    Any ideas as to why this is?
    Thanks all.

    The 10.6 clone doesn't have hardware drivers for the newer Mac model.
    You can also use Migration Assistant against the clone.

  • Why wont my brand new macbook pro boot to an external disk?

    why wont my brand new macbook pro boot to an external disk?  I have the 10.7.4 on both.  The MBP came with it so I installed it onto the hard drive i have been using the same way with an older macbook pro but the new MBP does not see the startup disk.  So i installed the same version of the os onto the MBP by hooking it up to my imac as a target disk because it would not recognize the install usb stick.  Now the brand new MBP doesnt start up

    I had the same issue.  The 2012 macbook pro has a different 10.7.4 build that is not yet available for public release.  It won't boot no matter how much you try.  You need to wait for Mountain Lion and create a start up disk from ML.  Apple most likely will release a 10.7.4 update for the 2012 models, but they are focused on ML now.

    Why won't my 2011 MacBook Pro restart after Yosemite installation?

    What symptoms are you seeing?
    At what point does it get stuck? 
    Is it failing to Restart, or failing once it restart?
    what exactly is on the screen, if anything?
    Do you get the chime? the gray Apple? The spinner? black screen? gray screen? prohibitory sign?

  • Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box?

    Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box? Shouldn't it have 0 because it's brand new.

    Yes it should have 0.  I would return it, that means that the battery has already went through 13 full cycles.  Perhaps they accidentally resold a returned one as new.

  • Why can't my new Macbook Pro not see individual MTS files on the sony cx700 flash drive? How do I get AVCHD MTS files off the camera not using imovie or FCP?

    Hi,
    I bought a new MacBook Pro (OS X version 10.8) recently to replace an older version. I work with different Sony cameras (Hard drive and flash drive storage), but when I connect the cameras (Sony Cx560, 700 and XR520) to the Mac it only shows an AVCHD icon. Usually you can see the individual files. We have 3 Macbook Pro's here and on 2 of them it works. Is there a setting or a driver I need to download for this new Mac? The other ones read it without intsalling anything.
    Thanks for any tips.

    There are two (and probably more than two) third party apps that will do this.
    1) ClipWrap
    2) Voltaic

  • Why did my brand new macbook pro come with Snow Leopard instead of Lion?

    I JUST bought a brand new Macbook Pro assuming that it would come with Lion, but it didn't. My brother who just bought an Air the day before me got Lion with his computer. Shouldn't new computers come with new software? I'm confused. Can anyone help me?

  • New MacBook Pro has trouble reading DVD

    Our new MacBook Pro will not automatically open a DVD when it is inserted. Had to go through DVD player and it said it did not recognize format. Had to manually select the app for it to play. DVD player is 5.1.1. Is this a bug? Linda

    One DVD or all? Commercial DVD? One you burned? One you found lying on the street? More details would help...
    Assuming you mean this occurs with multiple (all) commercial DVD movies, go to System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and set the 'When you insert a video DVD:' pop-up menu to Open DVD Player.

  • Why won't my 2009 Macbook pro allow me to download the newest version of Aperture

    So I'm trying to buy and download aperture from the apple page. It won't allow me to do so and I wonder if it is because I have a 2009 Macbook Pro. Do I need to buy an older version of Aperture?

    Ceck, if your Mac can run 10.7.5
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
    or 10.8.4:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP654
    You'll find all technical data in the Apple Menu.
    If your Mac can run the System, buy the System at the AppStore. Mt. Lion will be directly available. For Lion visit an Apple Store and buy a thumbs drive installer.

  • Why won't my 2010 MacBook Pro recognizing my 1st generation iPod Shuffle?

    My 2010 13" MacBook Pro does not recognize my 1st generation iPod Shuffle. Do I need software? Is there anywhere I can go to download it?

    Hi all -
    I cannot view my flash drive OR my office server, which I should be able to connect to via VPN. VPN was installed on my Macbook Pro at my office on Friday. It worked fine. Now I bring it home, and I connect using VPN, and it shows that I am connected, yet the server hard drive icon does not appear on my desktop (as it usually did) and I can't see how to access the server at work.
    I also cannot view flash drives when I plug them in - they just don't show up.
    I had Norton installed; I read online I should disable that. I did this, and no luck. I also have already done all the things suggested on this post and have all the boxes checked, and yet, still cannot use a flash drive or access my work server.
    I am stuck? Do I have to bring my Macbook pro in for service? I have NOT upgraded to Mavericks.
    Thanks for any help.
    I am not that well versed in finding my way around a Mac - so keep any explanations simple, please.

  • Why does my fairly new MacBook Pro i7 have a checkerboard pattern in red, black and blue upon startup?

    Upon startup my MacBook Pro has a checkerboard pattern running down the right side and along the bottom upon startup.  When I turn it on, the screen goes from black to white to blue and then the sign on screen appears with this pattern.  Sometimes it does not appear at all.  Now it is there everytime I turn on the laptop.  I am able to sign on an then it goes to the customary grey textured screen and I have to sign on again.  Then I finally get to the the desktop area. Does anyone out there know what is going on? It is my first Mac.   It has 10.7.3 OS X,  2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7 processor. Memory- 4GB DDR3. Graphics- AMD Radeon 6750 M and Intel HD 3000 graphics.  Below, a downloaded an image. The white stripes actually are baby blue and white checkers. Please help!

    I am also getting the same problem, even i am not be able to login. below is the picture. I sent same picture to Apple authorised service centre but they are not responding and even not answarring my phone call.

  • Buying a new Macbook Pro for music recording, should I upgrade the RAM or Processor?

    As the title states, I'm looking into buying a new Macbook (15 inch) for music recording. Should I upgrade the processor or the RAM memory?

    Purchase it with the faster CPU.  RAM may be increased later via third party chips at much lower cost if and when required.

  • Only partial transfer from Time Machine to new Macbook Pro?

    Hello, I don't know why but with my new Macbook Pro I chose to migrate everything from Time Machine from my Imac to the new computer. Applications and some files transfered, but not all my email or email setting, photos, downloads, documents, Itunes, etc was transfered. I had no problem with a different Macbook Pro to transfer all of the contents from the Time Machine to the new Macbook Pro. I could see that one of the three possibilities to check off other deeper files from the Time Machine was not enabled, so couldn't check it off.
    I didn't have this problem before.
    Any advice. Thanks.

    Hello,
    I transferred from my Intel Imac which is completely up to date. Used the same Time Machine disk to transfer everything to other Macbook Pro and Air. Maybe I did something wrong, because usually all of the mail, the settings, the photos and Itune contents were transferred in one go. It was simple and complete. This time I got many files, and no email setting nor email contents, no download or document. Maybe I should reinstall from scratch and try again. I can't install and archive because I don't have all of the elements from the Time Machine backup that I wanted. I was going to migrate from Migrate Assistant directly from my Imac to the Pro but I don't have a firewire cable and wasn't able to find a way to use the ethernet cable, because I didn't see that option, even though in the user guide is says you can connect the two computers through an ethernet connection.
    Still need help.

  • New MacBook Pro Retina Display

    Why Apple doesn't support their new MacBook Pro Retina Display with DVD-Room (Superdrive)?

    There is no reason for people to wag around a superdrive all day. Most people never use it anymore.
    Well that is simply not true.  Everyone I know who uses a laptop still burns CD's and DVD's.  Especially if they use their laptops for any kind of work besides downloading movies and music from iTunes or uploading their iphone pictures to facebook.  At my job, and at a lot of jobs, documents, video and other media are still exchanged by portable media. The cloud is not yet at a place that there is across the board use of it and there are also security and technical issues when exchanging information in adversarial situations. That are more easily handled by sending a disk.  Unless your computer is nothing more than a toy for you, there will be a need to be able to produce portable media for a long time to come. However,  with the portable drive add on, it's not a must to have it built-in and you maybe even be able to find a better drive for burning stuff than apples so a portable situation can be a plus.
