  • How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB

    How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB? I am slightly learning disabled and have been unable to figure out how to add and or update. Thnaks

    If the songs are in iTunes and the iPod is set to sync automatically, the songs should already be on the iPod; if they aren't, follow the instructions in this article and post back with any error messages.
    If the iPod is set to sync manually, drag the songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list.

  • DVD from a Hard Drive  Camera.

    I wanted some feedback on YOUR best way to make a DVD from a Hard Drive Camera. I have the Sony 60 GB HandyCam. It's great. I have many programs to create a DVD and edit them. Some are Quicktime Pro with MPEG 2 converter to 4 then to Streamclip, CaptyDVD, VisualHub, ImageMixer.
    When converting to StreamClip , for instance, which formate is best????
    I have found that the QuickTime Pro/2 to 4 converter then into iDVD gives me the best results. Then right to iDVD.
    The Visual Hub program is great but it gives me the letter box effect. I rather have the true 16x9 formate.
    Any other ideas or programs out there YOU like?
    Thanks in advance, Don

    now we put the cart before the horse ...
    mpegs are not meant for editing, any further processing; mpegs are a delivery- and playback format...
    if you like to do editing (adding titles, music, disolves etc), use a recording-device which supports a codec which is MEANT for editing.. as "dv", on miniDV ...
    Streamclip support basic editing (e.g. erasing parts)...
    and the loss of audio by using Quicktime for convertign mpegs is another cup of tea ...
    nack to your Original Post:
    Capty is best in terms of quality, because no triple-conversion is needed, as long as you "burn" videoDVD with Toast or Sizzle ..
    Streamclip (+mpeg2 plug-in) is best in terms of "options" ( you can edit AND convert)
    DVD2DV is best in terms of usability .. one-click-only
    VisualHub is best in terms of flexibility (swiss army knife converter)
    ffmpegX + Sizzle is best in terms of cost - free (iLife comes preinstalled)
    ... and DVD as recording media is NEVER the best, compared to any/most miniDV camcorders... less usabilty (= not supported by iLife, needs additional processes etc), less quality AFTER adding anything/editing/processing, ...
    so, back to Square One - get a miniDV for movie making ..

    Open Terminal and type or paste:  drutil eject and press enter, quit.
    Might just be a bad DVD or it could contain a different form of copy protection that the Mac doesn't understand yet. Use a older DVD's and try them out, if you still have the same problem then you can try as much as you can of the fix list here or take your machine in for service.

  • HT1758 my old imac has no manual button to eject my dvd from the hard drive

    I am having trouble ejecting the dvd from my old imac which has no manual button to help me eject manually.

    Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
    Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
    Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

  • Problem to boot up installation DVD from another optical drive.

    Hello, i am trying to install the Snow Leopard OS to my MBA (10.5.2) using the optical drive of my iMac (Lion). The moment i power up the MBA (with the option button being pressed) after i log into the wi-fi network, the only boot device i see is the Macintoxcv hard drive. Which is the MBA's hard drive.
    I dont see the Optical drive of my iMac with the installation dvd inside. They are both in the same wi-fi network and the sharing is on.
    If i log into the MBA i am able to remotely run the DVD but the system says that my hard drive is corrupted and i need to boot from the dvd and that i shouldn't worry because the problem will be resolved during the installation of the Snow Leopard. But i cant boot from the DVD as i previously stated.. ANy ideas?
    PS. Under application/utilities on my iMac (the source DVD) i dont have the option Remote Install Mac OS to clic on.

    Apple has restricted booting from optical drives to only internal ones, also I hear you can't install Windows from a external optical drive neither.
    The solution in your case is to create a 10.6 install USB

    You have to decide if you want to backup files off the machine, take your chances and upgrade your present 10.5 (which has your free iLife on it) installed copy (stable or not) to 10.6 then to 10.6.8,   or
    if your 10.5 installed is not exactly stable, then backup files off the machine and erase and reinstall 10.5 (which has your free iLife on it) and then upgrade to 10.6 then to 10.6.8, then Disk Utility > Repair disk (from the 10.6 USB) then install 10.6 programs fresh and files from backup or
    erase the 10.5 install completely from the 10.6 USB and install 10.6.3 (no free iLife)
    iLife doesn't come on the 10.6.3 Retail Upgrade disks, also you can't use another Mac's 10.6 disk to install SL on your machine.
    If your 10.5 installed is stable, then consider a backup of files off the machine (disconnect any other drive) and simply upgrading 10.5 to 10.6, it will keep all your presently installed programs, although a few will require updating.
    To boot off the USB, you need to hold the option key down.
    Now on Mac's with a DVD drive, when the SL 10.6 disk is simply inserted, one runs a program that reboots and upgrades 10.5 to 10.6
    Since you will be booted from the USB, you will have to select to install 10.6 onto the 10.5 drive, it only does that and not touches your third party programs or your files. (but backup anyway in case things go wrong)
    You neeed this disk to create the USB from, can only be ordered online now as I hear.

    If your considering upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 Appstore, let me give you some valuable advice.
    10.5 Intel machines are rather dated, if it's not a 64 bit processor Lion can't be installed (no Intel Core Duo's, they are 32 bit)
    Your going to have a dated video card, Lion is slower than Snow Leopard.
    You need a minimum of 2GB of RAM, 4GB+ is reported to be better for Lion.
    Lion does not allow you to run your 10.5 programs in Rosetta like 10.6 does, so Lion requires all new software.
    In my opinion a dated machine having to buy all new software is a waste of money, spend the $29 for Snow Leopard and pretty much everything you presently have in software investment will work.
    My opinion is to save Lion for a new machine, your machine will run better on 10.6 than 10.7 glitch issues.
    Check this database for programs that are ready for Lion

  • How to boot OS DVD from a external drive (holding down "C" does not help)

    Hello friends...
    I am updating my girlfriends Tiger G4 to Leopard. She has a internal CD drive, but not a internal DVD drive. I have a external Pioneer DVD USB drive that I have plugged into her G4. I can place DVDs in it and load software from it.
    However, I can not seem to boot a Leopard DVD from it. At first I installed the DVD and it came up on the desktop. I selected the correct icon, and it said it now had to reboot which it did. I selercted "reboot". I held the "C" key down but in all attempts, it would boot to the desktop of the tiger OS. So I went into "start up drive" in preferences, and saw the Leopard DVD. I selected it, then selected reboot. It would still bypass my external DVD drive and boot to the tiger desktop. The external DVD USB drive is called Pioneer DVR-X122.
    Any help on getting her Leopard DVD to boot from this device so I can update her OS? She has a lot of free HD space, and over 1 GB of RAM. Her G4 meets or exceeds all requirements from Leopard as far as I can tell.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sincerely,
    jack

    Any help on getting her Leopard DVD to boot from this device so I can update her OS?
    You can't use that drive. An internal or FireWire drive is needed. If it and the G5 are physically close to each other, connect them with a FireWire cable, insert the DVD in the G5, and start up the G5 with the T key held down.

  • Problems transfering music from external hard drive to ipod.

    When I plug both ipod and external hard driver (WD 1600B014) into my Gateway laptop, only 1 device will work at a time with the other saying "usb device not recognised". This means I am unable to copy selected itunes songs onto my ipod.
    This is driving me insane as I have 60gb of music on my hard drive which I want to chop and change frequently.
    I have tried all manner of solutions including buying a powered usb hub (belkin) and starting a clean sheet with my laptop, installing all manner of new drivers for the usb ports.
    I have the same problem with my 5G ipod 40gb.
    I have tried the same problem on my dads desktop computer and the same problem arrises.
    Does anyone have any answers as this has been driving me mad for ages and ages.
    Is this a common thing or is it a problem with Western digital hard drives (although i thought they were a pretty big brand).
    Any help would really be appreciated.

    if I want to copy all those song files onto my iPod, they have to be copied into itunes first, and there's not nearly enough space on my desktop for that.
    No, you don't have to copy the tracks to your internal hard drive. Just turn off the "copy music to iTunes Music Folder when adding" option in the iTunes Advanced preferences. Then use the "Add To Library" menu command and select the appropriate folder(s) on your external drive. iTunes will add the tracks to the Library but not move them to the internal drive.
    Once that's done, use iTunes to transfer the music to the iPod. You can then, if iTunes is set for manual synchronization, remove the tracks from the Library if you want to remove the reference to the external drive.

  • Remove dvd from external cd drive.

    I have an external cd drive for my new iMac and I can't get a dvd out of it. It is not recognizing that there is a dvd (maybe because it is a blu-ray dvd and it doesn't play them) in it and so will not eject it.

    If you have an Apple USB superdrive, there is a page with instructions...

    "order to eject you can Control-click or right-click the disc icon and choose Eject

  • How to recover deleted songs from iTunes hard drive (not iPod)

    I have a Western Digital hard drive that I use to play all of my mp3 files. Tonight I was creating a playlist by dragging and dropping songs. Although I thought I was editing the playlist, it turns out that I accidently deleted a song from my library ("MUSIC").
    Now anytime that I delete something from the external hard drive, it ends up in the recycling bin on my desktop. But that does not seem to be the case with songs that I delete from the "MUSIC" library on my hard drive.
    I'm confused. When I accidently deleted this song, where did it go? The folder containing the mp3 file is gone, it is no longer in iTunes and it never appeared in the Recycling Bin. In the past whenever I've accidently deleted a song, I simply went to the Recycling Bin and clicked on "Restore File".
    Does anyone know where to find the missing file(s) and how to restore them to my 'MUSIC' folder in iTunes?
    Note that this has nothing to do with my iPod, but rather the external hard drive associated with my PC.
    Thanking everyone in advance who can help!
    Chad

    How I wish it were that simple.
    My Recycling Bin is empty, which is what is perplexing. Just to see if this function was working properly I deleted a song from the LIBRARY and guess what? It appeared in the Recycling Bin.
    Its a mystery what has happened to these songs.
    This has happened on several occassions. I waited years for a few rare songs to come out in digital because only vinyl copies existed. When Apple finally reached a licensing agreement to sell these songs, I downloaded them and created a playlist. Somehow the playlist disappeared including all of the songs from the library. I didn't think anything of it because I thought that I could simply go to iTunes, select PURCHASED songs and add them. To my suprise iTunes does not have a history of my purchase.
    Finally, after much trouble back and forth with Apple customer support they sent me a link for two of the most recent songs that I downloaded, but the ones that I downloaded a year or more in the past.
    The whole entire scenario has left me scratching my head.

  • Songs from External Hard Drive to iPod without iTunes

    So I have only a quarter or so of my songs in my iTunes library, but I have a large enough iPod where all of my songs can easily fit on it. I want to upload new songs and albums to my iPod, but without deleting all the thousands of songs that are on it, but not on my iTunes library, if that makes sense at all.
    Is there any possible way to do this? I was fiddling around with my smaller iPod to see if I dragged the folder onto the iPod whether that would work, but so far as I could tell it didn't.
    Anyone have any suggestions? or Help? Or at least a definite answer that it just can't be done?

    You can't add playable songs to an iPod except through iTunes. Dragging songs from Finder to the iPod simply adds the audio files as it would to an ordinary flash drive, it'll store them but not play them.

  • Moving images from computer hard drive to external hard drive

    Hi all,
    Currently trying aperture2. I'd like to move my photo library from my computer's hard drive to an external hard drive. Not quite sure how to do it and would rather not end up deleting everything. I'm sure its pretty straightforward but thought I would ask first. Thanks.

    both of those will do it ... it is just a matter of which method ...
    being that you are on a laptop (?) i would suggest the referenced route ... only because you can create image previews and travel around with those, and not have to lug the external along, yet still be able to "see" the images and work with metadata - just not adjustments ...
    your library would remain on your laptop's hdd, but the actual image files would stay on the ext ...

  • I need to transfer all photos to an external hard drive. Many photos have been moved around or deleted from computer hard drive, but still have a very full hard disk. Are the photos with questionmarks in Lightroom still taking up hard disk space? I'm so l

    Hi folks,
    My hard disk is full. I already moved lots of photos from other folders on the hard disk to other external hard drives, so there are a lot of question marks in Lightroom. So, are those photos still taking up room on the computer hard disk? I want to move everything I have in Lightroom off of the computer to another external hard drive, in hopes that will free up space. I watched a tutorial, and read some things about it, but I need simple instructions please.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Can't load Leopard DVD from G4 optical drive

    I worked with a tech person today to try to load Leopard from optical drive on my G4 Powerbook. It doesn't recognize DVDs, but does recognize CDs. I was told to I could get an external DVD player which I did, but the one the Apple Store sold me -- the MacBook Air SuperDrive does not run on the PowerBook G4. I need to be able to load Leopard ASAP. Any suggestions?

    I don't know what the salesperson at the store was thinking. The MBA SuperDrive doesn't work with anything but the MBA, unless you dismantle it (voiding the warranty) and perform a hardware modification which will not be described here. And because it's a USB device, it couldn't boot a Powerbook at all, even if it could be used with one after booting. So someone at the Apple Store needs to be enrolled in a reeducation program ASAP.
