Mac Pro :: DVD Remote Controls Work Differently On A Mac?
Apr 17, 2012
I created an SD DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4, and when I tested it on a standard TV DVD player, the remote controls work just as they should. But, when I play it on a Mac computer using a remote, it doesn't work the same. For example, if I have a video track following a slideshow, when I'm on the last slide I can press PLAY and the video will play. But on a Mac, pressing PLAY is taking me back to the Menu page.

DVD Studio Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

We use both an iMac w/snow leopard and a mac mini with Lion. Whenever I configure parental controls to allow certain applications by checking the boxes, also the Dashboard widget (tea timer particularly to have kids keep track of time allowed), I have had issues with Firefox not working for them, although checked, as well as Safari which also was checked. The widget also checked would not allow it. All the apps they want to use has a warning sign that the administrator does not allow use (though it was previously allowed). Then when we enter the administrator password to allow use all the time, the same box keeps popping up despite using the correct login and password and never gets to the parental control window. So I check use just once and it allows it but never allows it to use always. It also would allow Safari after having to sign into parental controls again (even though it was checked in the first place) but it would not allow Firefox at all. There was a point in time (during earliest use) when it was working, and though the parental controls were thereafter modified, once you modify 1 user, it seems to uncheck some apps for the other so we have to recheck the other acct. Basically, parental controls do not work.

Our son can log off and log back on in the same 24 hour period of time, thus by-passing his daily limit we have set-up.

So I have a MacBook Pro, and my Dad has a MacBook Air. I was wandering if I needed Wi-Fi to access the optical drive on my MBP through the MBA using remote disk
Will they find each-other without Wi-Fi?

I have my Mini hooked up through a usb/minidisplayport to HDMI adapter. On my keyboard when I push mute or volume up or down, the computer shows the mute/vol up/vol down icon on the screen when I push it and it makes the volume sound, but it does not actually mute the tv or make the volume go up or down. Only the actual TV controls will make it work.

so when I try to use remote disc, on top of taking like 5 minutes to connect, when I try to open the audio CD in my PC laptop's disc drive, it doesn't work. It will just sit there for like 3-4 minutes and then tell me something about it not being found. I attached a picture of the message I get. What should I do?

I'm considering a MBA (not sure on the size yet), but need to know if I can use the built in Remote File Access to grab files from my PC or if I would need to buy the Airport Extreme as well.
I'm also curious if anyone has used GarageBand on the MBA and if it runs smoothly. I'm considering the 4 GB MBA primarily for this purpose.

I have the current model 15" MBP. I'm just wondering if there is a specific remote you need since they don't come with remotes any more I didn't know if Apple changed it or if they were only being cheap (which we know they are!). I need to use it for some Keynote presentations and I saw these on eBay and figured it wouldn't hurt to save $10 if they worked with my machine.

I have a MacBook that is about 3 years old now. It came with an Apple Remote (the little white one). If I were to buy a new Mac Mini would I have to buy a new Apple Remote, or would the remote that came with the MacBook also work with the Mini?

I'm trying to connect to a small (10) local network of imacs all running Mavericks 10.9.3. I'm using Remote Desktop over Bonjour and also trying to share an iTunes library using Home sharing. None of the computers will respond. I get an error (-3170) on the target computers for the home sharing and RD tells me they're all sleeping when I can see perfectly well that they are awake and logged in. They all have RD client 3.7.1 installed but the response I get from RD when I try to wake them is 'this is not supported on these computers'.Â
This system worked wonderfully well under 10.6.8 and now it's completely screwed with Mavericks. as all the computers respond readily via the 'Go/connect to server/browse/connect method'. They are obviously all connected it's just this new OS just doesn't work.

OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

Mac OS 10.5.5 Disk Utility not formatting Ext. HD properly.I was originally able to use my external Hard drive Seagate 300GB right out the box without formatting on my Phillips DIVX-compatible DVD players as well as my Sony PS3 to watch .AVI and MPG files on TV.
Well, last night I needed to swap some files via Time Machine and had to re-formatted my Ext HD. So once that is done I go to format back with Mac OS 10.5.5's Disk Utility, but this time using the MS-DOS (FAT32) option since that is how it will work with the DVD players and PS3. But the drive wasn't recognizable with either DVD players or Sony PS3.
Now here's the kicker! I had my old iBook with Mac OS 10.4 and decided to format the drive using it's Disk Utility version and now the drive is recognizable on both DVD players and PS3.Obviously something is different with the latest version of Disk Utility on Mac OS 10.5.5! Does anyone know why Leopard Mac OS's Disk Utility is formatting differently than previous versions of Mac OS? What's the deal here?good thing I didn't give away my old iBook... Is this an Apple conflict or ???

I've been thinking of using an iMac as a video player in my workout room. I'd like it to be able to grab videos (tv shows) from my main iMac. I'd also use it to play dvd's.
I was thinking of buying a used G4 iMac to do this, but would like to be able to use a remote control to use Front Row.
First, can I use Front Row on iMac #2 to get videos from iMac #1?
Secondly, does the Apple Remote Controller work with a ppc G4 iMac?

if anyone has written anything to make it work with other Macs yet? Anyone figure out what restricts it from working with other machines? I would love to replace the beast of an external drive I have with this beautiful piece of work. I don't use the external a lot but enough I want one around. At the same time anyone figure out how to make the GUI interface of remote disk work with other machines? I know there is way to remote disk anything and have done it before but the GUI they added to this service is beatiful for the MBA. I would love to be able to use either of these things with out the MBA.

Not sure if I'm going mad - but the keyboard light seems to work different on these new Macbook Pro's..
On the old model I thought the light came on when you pressed a key on the keyboard. But on the new model the light only comes on when you press a key AND you are in a dark room..

I run a UMBP @ home and also have a work laptop connected to my LAN. I want to remote into my work laptop from my UMBP, but I am having trouble doing so. My work laptop has joint to the company domain and has Group Policy applied. However I made sure all the remote desktop firewall rules are open and I still can't remote into it. Work laptop is running Win7. My dad's pc is also a Win7 and I can remote into just fine.

Does anyone know why my iWeb site renders differently in Safari and Firefox?
Firefox
Safari
Notice Firefox shows the outlines of the text boxes. Is there anyway to correct this? Or is this a problem with Firefox? I believe it renders correctly in Chrome as well.

When attempting to turn my MacBook Pro on, I get the normal gray startup screen, two differently sized blue screens, then static. I've tried booting into safe mode and removing all login items, but that hasn't worked.

I have a 27" iMac. I would like to split the screen into two differently configured desktops or monitors. Apps like TwoUp or Divy don't exactly do this. I'll explain it with an example:Â
Suppose I'm working on a document and I need to open many folders to retrieve files. One common problem is that opened folders overlap each other and sometimes they overlap with the document I'm working on, or they go underneath the document. I would like to split the screen vertically in, say, two virtual, independent desktops/monitors, like this:
- one window/space on one side (say, on the left) of the screen would contain the document from top to bottom, with no dock bar on the bottom
- the other window/space (right) would behave as a regular, full desktop, with the entire dock on the bottomÂ
In this way, if I need to navigate to find a file to use in the document, I would move the cursor to the right. The Finder would work only in this window/space, thus windows or other applications would never overlap or clutter the left side of the screen. Drag-and-drop from right to left should be possible.Â
One way to imagine it is as if the 16x9 monitor were comprised by two vertical, 8x9 independent monitors side by side, each with its own configuration.Â

VLC (because Front Row is just too slow for me), and I want to go to sleep. I hold the play button on my Apple Remote to sleep my computer, but from within VLC it does nothing.Is there any way to get the 'hold play on the apple remote to sleep your computer' function to work from within VLC?

I'm looking for a system that can track about 50 MBP's providing both remote wipe as part of an overall security protocol, and also remote screen/desktop for admin purposes. I looked at preyproject.com but it looks like they only do remote wiping/tracking. that I don't want something locked to a single user, it should be centrally managed.Â

I know there is something simple I�m overlooking, but I can�t figure out what it is. There is a website (subscription) that my wife likes to go to watch streaming movies and TV. When she logs into our iMac, goes to the website, and clicks on a movie to watch, the movie opens in the websites own movie player. When I�m logged into our iMac under my user name, go to the same website and click on the same movie, QuickTime launches and plays the video in a separate QT player. The QT and Safari preferences are set the same when either of us are logged in, so why when I log in do movies play in QT, and when my wife log in they play in the websites movie player? Is there something other than preferences that may be set different? What other settings should I be comparing? BTW, my account is the Administrator account.

My question is in the title. Why does it seem like in MacBook, the Airport picks up almost 3 times more networks as opposed to my MacBook Pro, which picks up 10 the most at a time?

When I press sysmbols on keys the symbols appear differently and not how it is printed on the keypad, please advise where I can go to change the settings. I have given you examples below so my question is clearer.Shift 4 gives $ instead of Euro sign, actually I would prefer the £ sign which is shift 3 @ appears when pressing shift 2 and not the sign which has this displayed

I tuned on parental control to limit my kids to an hour per day. Works great except when they play music (iTunes). I don't want playing music to against their allowed time. I would like to let them play (music) as long as they want w/o it timing out
