Can I use mini dvd's in my new imac?

Have several movies made with sony mini dvd camcorder, can I put the mini-dvd in the dvd slot of my imac, or will it get stuck? Thanks,
Dan

I was thinking about this and one way to avoid this problem completely is to invest in an external Pioneer Burner housed in an ext. FW enclosure.
Essentially one needs to make certain the drive has the capacity to play such a disk prior to its insertion into the machine.

I realize it's much harder to do this visual exam on a laptop or a slot loading S-Drive as opposed to a slide out tray as shown above.

Can I use Mini DVD's with my superdrive on my Mac?

I was recently given some Mini DVD's that were used on an old Camcorder and I was wondering if I could use it with the Mac superdive

No, you can ONLY use a standard 120 MM size disk in the SuperDrive.

Time Machine: Can I use my backup to setup my new iMac?

Hello
I'am planing to change my 20" iMac white 2.16GHz to a 24" iMac alu 2.8 GHz .
Is it possible to restore my 20" iMac's data from the back up drive to this bigger machine, without to lose anything?
With TimeMachine of course.
Thanks

I read it somewhere (I don't remember it now) that in the set up process of a new computer it asks if you like to transfer information from some other place and you need to select an account in the time machine and choose what (like applications, folder, some settings) you want to transfer. So I think the configuration would not be a problem.
You can search for some support articles at http://www.apple.com/support/find/ and see if you can get some information.

Can I use microsoft office 2011 on my new iMac 2015

I just purchased a new iMac desktop with Yosemite. I am wanting to transfer my info from my 2009 Macbook Pro. Will the Microsoft office 2011 work on the new computer or should I purchase the latest Office?

As MS Office will be seeing a new hardware configuration, you will likely need your 25-character Product Key.

Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with the Mac? Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac? Thanks!!

No DV port in camcorder. Just a yellow AV port/hole. I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's. Can I use this with a Mac? Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac? Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way? Thanks again!

I want to upgrade iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade iMac from that DVD

I want to upgrade my iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with my purchase of the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade the iMac from that DVD that came with the laptop ? Thanks

No, that 10.6.3 DVD is system specific to the MacBook Pro.
You need a Snow Leopard Upgrade > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
or if a MobileMe users > Apple throws MobileMe users a free version of Snow Leopard

TS3048 my wireless mouse is not working at all. I have changed the batteries and still nothing, not even a flashing green light. I am using someone else's computer to ask these questions as I now can't use mine. Help!!!

I just had the same problem. And I found the solution, on Youtube.
The problem is that these ******** at apple designed the battery compartement, the distance between metal contacts too big.
That means the batteries plus or minus poles are not touching the corresponding contacts in the mouses battery compartement.
Most likely the battery doesn't get pushed up to touch the plus contacts.
I used a fingernail to push the battery up and tadaa, the green LED came on.
The guy in the Youtube video just put some folded aluminium foil under the minus poles for bridging the gap.

Can I use my DVD Drive from my pc to load Tiger on my Mac

Can I use my DVD Drive From my pc (compaq R4000)to load Tiger onto my Mac G3 Blue & White?

The short answer is no
long answer is maybe but if you manage to get a DVD drive from a Compaq into a G3 then install Tiger it will be so slow (Tiger on a G3 iMac) it'll bring tears to your eyes.
What are talking about this sloww nonsense! I've been using Tiger since it came out on my Summer 01' 'Snow' iMac 500Mhz and it works quite nicely! Sure garageband is sssllooww but who needs it. Everything elese is good! Just bump up the ram and your good to go as long as the processor is 450Mhz or higher! Although after looking at your post, you were using OS 8.6 so I assume its a 233Mhz. So ya that would be slow...BUT I've found 10.2 Jaguar to work well with my Bondi 233Mhz with 192MB of Ram...

Can I use ION VIDEO 2 PC on my iMac?

Can I use ION VIDEO 2 PC on my iMac? .....OR what can my friend use instead?
My friend has an iMac, she used to have Tiger 10.4, then upgraded to I think the Leopard, Snow Leopard, or even to Lion...she doesn't even know. The one thing that I think gave it a way was the PC part of Video 2 PC.....Apples are NOT PC's...right? An apple is an Apple, and a PC is everything else?
My friend bought this ION VIDEO 2 PC, but she has an APPLE iMac, not a reg. PC.
Not sure what Apple O.S. she has. She did have Tiger 10.4 OS, but may have upgraded to LION or at least Snow Leopard 10.6... ???
My Main question is this.....Can she use this ION VIDEO 2 PC device to capture video from either her HD Camcorder or analog camcorder? I don't know if she has iMovie or iDvd, then use the ION device to capture, then use her apple software to maybe edit/burn DVD's.
Thanks for any help! OR, does she need to return this, and then get something a little more iMAC friendly? ( ‘Grass Valley’ or ‘Pinnacle Studio’ software?)
She doesn’t know much about computers, not Apples nor PC’s. She doesn’t even know if she has the iMovie or iDVD installed on her iMac. I’m just trying to help her capturing video from both her Analog or digital camcorders, then burning to DVD.

Apples and every other brand of computers are PC's (short for "personal computer"), but Apple wanted to differentiate themselves from the other manfacturers.
OT: That is not quite correct. The term "personal computer" (common noun) emerged in the 1970s to distinguish microcomputers from minicomputers and mainframes.
There were a variety of architecture and platforms; great names from that age (Commodore, Wang) are now largely forgotten. Apple emerged in the second half of the decade with the Apple I personal computer.
At the beginning of the 1980s, IBM, dominant in the mainframe business, decided to enter the personal computer market, and it did so with the IBM 5150, or the IBM PC ("Personal Computer" -- proper noun). Due to several factors (including IBM's size and power) this platform became a virtual industry standard. While other platforms fell by the wayside, various manufacturers began to build "IBM PC-compatible" products; the terms then became "PC-comaptible", and, nowadays, just "PC".
As long as Apple's computers were based on a different processor architecture, they were personal computers, but they were not PCs. After Apple switched to the current Intel processor line, it became debatable whether its computers are PCs, or a different type of personal computer. I don't have the intimate understanding of the PC hardware platform necessary to have an opinion on the topic. For a good many people a "PC" actually means a Wintel machine, ie, a personal computer based on the Intel x86 (or compatible) architecture, designed to run under Windows; a Mac complies with the former, but not with the latter, so it's still not a PC in that sense.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

If that configuration supports Target Display mode, use it. If not, use a product such as ScreenRecycler.

Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad. On my account it says ID is only for 1 system. I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.
