    I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer.  How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?  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 have "redemption" code, but get error saying it has already been redeemed. Can you please advise how I go about getting my software reinstalled? If I was given the serial number when I redeemed, I don't have any record of it.

    Actually, you can and have downloaded from there, because that message only happens when the download is finished.
    The message is entirely normal, and is Apple's way of encouraging the world to use the Mac App Store. That doesn't help you because Acrobat isn't in the Mac App Store - it isn't allowed there.
    So, what to do? Change your system settings

  • Need help reinstalling Windows 7 home premium on HP G62-435DX

    My internal hard disk crashed and I followed advice from this forum to use Ubuntu (using live disc from CD ROM drive) to recover data and save to external hard drive. Next, I replaced the internal hard drive with a 500GB internal hard drive. I figured out how to partition the new internal hard drive and get Ubuntu to acknowledge it.
    Now, I'm trying to figure out how to reinstall my Windows 7 Home Premium operating system so I can try to get back to normal. However, I cannot figure out how to download Windows 7 to my hard drive using my product key that came with my machine when I bought it. All the download options appear to require you to buy/request Windows 7 recovery discs to run and install on the machine (since I didn't create these prior to my hard disk failing).
    Is this really the only way I can use my product key to reinstall Windows 7 to my machine? Also, I cannot figure out how to download the OS from Windows 7 ISO downloads (via Digital River) to my internal hard drive - seems I can only do this by downloading and burning to CDs (which I don't believe I have the right kind - but obviously am happy to buy if it's the best/fastest option). It seems I have very limited options since I had to remove my internal hard drive, which then eliminated Windows 7 from my machine.
    Based on these details - I ultimately want to determine the fastest, most efficient way to get Windows 7 OS back on my machine. I'd prefer to download it, but am hamstrung by having to run Ubuntu from a Live CD. Thanks for your help!

    Here are the specs for your HP G62-435DX Notebook Computer. Here is the HP Software and Driver Downloads page if you wish to order the HP Recovery Discs and have them mailed to you. If you wish to download Windows 7 and use the Windows product key on the bottom of your computer, please see How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc for instructions on downloading, creating the installation media (DVD or USB), and installing Windows. You will need a funtional computer with DVD burning software capable of burning the ISO to disc.

    The new user account didn't work?
    Or, the firmware flash didn't work?
    I would try reconnecting the data ribbon. It is cramped and difficult to get to, but it may be some corrosion or a poor connection causing the issue.
    It's worth a try, as the DVR-115 is a good drive. They don't make them any more........

I looked on the iLife section of the Tiger discs but I couldn't find it. Any info will help.

I have leopard 10.5.2. Does anyone know how to update the version I have? I use the mac updater but it doesn't find anything.

  • I need help reinstalling CS5

    Hello,
    My computer recently got a virus and I had to wipe it and reinstall Windows. I need to reinstall my CS5 now, but when I punch in the serial it gives me an error and says the serial has already been used (yeah, by me). It is the same computer I installed it on the first time. What do I do?
    Thanks,
    Christina Wood

    I had a similar problem, and I called Adobe Technical Support.  They were able to disable the serial number so I could re-use it.

    Turns out there is a firmware update to that drive. Maybe it helps.

    You can reinstall the driver by uninstalling it in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and rebooting.

  • Need HELP to burn 35 DVDs very URGENT !!!

    I have created a 16/9 screen DVD, size 451 Mo.
    Problem 1:
    When I register it as Disk image, I cannot open it on my HD to preview before burn it. When I click on the icon, it says "specify application", so I put iDVD, but it doesn't open. So I burn my project directly from iDVD. It takes time. I need to burn 35!!! Is there is possibility to fixe it, or I have to encoder every time I have to burn the same DVD?
    Problem 2:
    When I burn my project to DVD-R x16 Verbatim, using "Optimal quality" or "Optimal performances", my quality image is suffering. Pixels are becoming too big (like 1mmx1mm mosaique), so it is difficult to read text and to see pictures. My original project is perfect. I thought I was DVD quality, because I was using DVD+R x16 verbatim. But it seems to be iDVD problem.
    Thank to all who know anything about and can help. I have to deliver the project by the end of this week.

    Problem 1 Follow these directions:
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
    Problem 2 Burn the disk image with Disk Utility and select a speed 4X or slower from the speed pop-up.

  • Need help reinstalling Mountain Lion

    I was trying to reset my MacBook Air to its factory settings. I was following a YouTube video and I got as far as erasing something. Then I went to reinstall Mountain Lion and it told me my itunes account didn't have Mountain Lion purchased (I bought it from someone a month ago). SO I purchased it and have the PDF with the code. However, I cannot access the Mac App Store to redeem the code. What do I do now? My MBA is stuck in the utilities mode.!

    If it is a late 2010, it probably came with Snow Leopard installed, which means you will have to have the install DVD that came with the machine.  There is a retail version of Snow Leopard available from the Apple on-line store for $20, but that is version 10.6.3.  The 2010 machines came with 10.6.6 and will not install from the retail DVD.  If you do not have the original install disk, you can call Apple Customer Service and they will send you a disk for a fee of something like $20, you need the machine serial number to get the correct installer version.
    Once you have that disk you can install the 10.6.6 version from the disk and then go to Software Update to on-line update to 10.6.8.  From there, you an go to Mountain Lion or Mavericks if your model meets the specs in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
