DVD Player has disappeared and I have no install disk

[gin-in-teacups]

Hi everyone,

My apologies if this has been posted before - this is my first post on the forum. Basically I seem to somehow have managed to delete the DVD Player App from my Mac, and have found lots of helpful advice suggesting I should reinstall it from the disk that originally came with my Mac. Unfortunately, after five years that disk is nowhere to be found and I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated!

Hello and welcome.

Which Mac model?
What OS version are you running?
Do you happen to have a Time Machine or other backup of your Mac?

You can get replacement DVDs from Apple for the cost of the media, about $19.

It's a really good idea to create a separate Administrator account, and do your normal day to day work in a Standard user account. Make your Admin password something secure that you're not going to just automatically type without thinking when promoted... That protects you from many little accidents!

If you can't track down a copy of DVD Player, you could always use a free 3rd party player such as VLC to play your media? Download from http://www.videolan.org.
