  • Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?

    Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?  I've created the slideshow using my Mac on OS X 10.6.8 & burned to both a CD-R & DVD disc.  The disc does work on my computer; however will not play on my dvd player, projectors or gaming devices.

    Did you use iDVD to create a video DVD or did you burn a Quicktime file version of your slideshow to a DVD disk via the Finder thus creating just a data disk?
    If you didn't use iDVD then that's the reason the disk won't play on those other devices.

  • Why does my volume for music or videos not play externally, but it does for my alarm or phone calls?

    I can not get the volume on my IPhone 4S to play externally for music and videos. However, the sound for my alarms and phone calls do sound externally. Also, the buttons on the side of the phone for volume control no longer appear to be working? What can I do to fix this?  Thank you.

    Hello Jack,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:

  • Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

    Why is my Justice radio station on iTunes never play songs of Justice?

    Most likely because Apple did not get a license to do so.

  • Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?

  • Macbook pro now says itunes not supported on this type of Mac.  only change has been addition of Apple TV. how to fix?

    My older macbook pro now says itunes not supported "on this type of Mac".  Only change has been addition of Apple TV. The Apple TV remote is also controlling the Macbook.  Is this the problem?  How to fix?

    Did you recently update OS X? The icon indicates you have a version of iTunes that is not compatible with the version of OS X you now have installed. The current version is Apple iTunes 11.0.2, and it's compatible with 10.6.8.

  • Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

    Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

    They are absolutely now paired after doing all you said, as I reset both the Bose Link and the Iphone.  Now we have a pair, but no sound on the speaker or the iphone when they are connected. I know they are connected b/c the iphone says they are in the blue tooth setting AND the Bose has a solid blue tooth light on. 
    Now what?  This is beyond frustrating and only happened when I UPDATED ios!
    Thank you!

  • Burned cd will not play in car (plays, but i can't hear it)

    burned cd will not play in car (plays, but i can't hear it)

    In my experience car CD-players are more picky than home CD-players, when it comes to a certain combination of burner and CD-R brand.
    My over 10 year old home CD-player plays every CD I burned, but my car CD-player rejects some brands.
    From your first post I understand that burning CDs on your 'old' computer didn't give problems.
    Maybe trying another well known brand (Sony or TDK) will solve the problem burning CDs with your 'new' computer.
    Don't use cheap 'white-label' CD-Rs. They lead often to disappointment, when burning an audio CD.
    Also don't use CD-RW and CD-Rs especially designated for music. The latter do cost more and often don't play on car CD-players.
    The above is from my own experience and doesn't have to be a general experience.

  • Audio CD burn in iTunes not working

    Has anyone had this issue? My Superdrive seems to work fine reading and burning DVDs and data CDs, but burning an audio CD leaves nothing but heavy hiss and rumble.
    I've tried telling the burn to burn at 4x speed, 8x speed and maximum, no difference; I've used Verbatim CD-R and Maxell CD-R, no difference.
    The Superdrive is a Matshita UJ-846. In iTunes prefs, I have Importing set at MP3 encode and lowered the sample rate from 192 kbps to 160 (but that should not affect the burn anyway, correct?).
    I've posted this in the appropriate iMac discussion group as well.
    Any suggestions appreciated, and thanks.

    Aell, I answered my own problem. I remembered back to the old Macs I have used and thought about one common resolution to problems...for misbehaving apps, delete the preferences file then relaunch to rebuild the file. For Tiger, preferences are plists.
    That solved the problem and all is well once again!

    why wont my macbook pro send emails. I can recieve them not send

    Go to your email provider's setup page and check what the settings for the SMTP server are supposed to be. Most good providers will even have instructions on how to set up Mac Mail.

    Found the answer. Had the OSS 3D plug-in installed from my original iMac G4, came over with the firewire drive image.
    Deleted all things OSS 3D, and it works fine. Might help someone else.
