How can I connect my DVD player to my new Imac with a bolt of lightning for a HDMI cable

I use the latest version of the software of El Capitan. I tried several times to use the Imac as a screen to watch my DVD without success.

Can you advise what I'm doing wrong?

You may not use any ole' DVD drive on your Mac.

You must use a special DVD player designed to work with computers and Macs.

As Apple's DVD player that is designed to work with Mac, who no longer have a built-in CD/DVD optical drive.

  • How can I connect another monitor to compaq SG3 because there is only 1 VGA port and no HDMI.

    How can I connect another monitor to compaq SG3 series because there is only 1 VGA port at the back and there is no HDMI port.  The operating system is Windows 7. I think to buy vga splitter, I don't know if that will allow me to move images/data between the monitors. Please tell us what to do. Thank you

    It is based on the expected results.  A VGA splitter will give you two monitors but they will display the same image.  If the expected result is two different pictures, maybe something like this will do;

    another computer since your willingness not to not start - XP, Vista, 7, 8/8.1 or 10
    (or even under Linux is not serious). You can also try to start with
    another drive in Windows - any OS but do not use it to try to repairs

  • How can I get my dvd player to play blu ray discs.

    The software plays fine other DVDs, but won't play Blu Ray. This is the Pavilion dv7 3165 with operating system Windows 7 Premium. I never succeeded with this problem and thought that he would solve with updates...

    Download Cyberlink Power DVD10 and save it to the desktop, not in a temporary folder

    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp53001-53500/sp53029.ex

    After it's over, do a right click and go to properties and you should see what is in the screenshot.

    There has been many problems with software programs of virus blocking critical files in the player (s) Blu - ray. For the most part, disable the antivirus or programs was sufficient, but with McAfee, it had to be completely uninstalled. If at this point, uninstall your antivirus software, no matter what it is, and if there is a special tool required by the developer to uninstall properly, use their tool when it will exist. I know Norton and, possibly, Avira requires an uninstall tool.

    Once it is uninstalled restart your laptop and you will get the warning typical of Windows that the world will come to an end to crash, because you do not have an anti virus program on your computer. Just ignore it and continue with the installation of power DVD10, note that it is important that you stay connected to the internet, the software to install correctly. The link is directly from the view of HP it is has no viruses, Trojans etc attached.

    After it is done installing, restart your machine. This is important.

    After the restart, go to control panel, then Auto Play and make sure power DVD10 is chosen for Blu - ray discs, if it has not been chosen click the menu drop down and choose to do and save the setting. Restart your computer and go back to auto play and make sure that the setting has been saved.

    Then, open the drawer of the DVD/Blu-ray with the button on the front of the drawer itself and leave the charge for Blu - ray automatically with the opening of Cyberlink DVD 10

    At this point, you can reinstall your anti virus software if the drive Blu - ray continues to work then you will have to go into the advanced settings and find which files are blocked in the drive and let them. It's not always easy, so I advise to use ESET (not free) or Microsoft Security Essentials (free). I have used in the past and they never gave me any problems with my Blu - ray players.
