Can I make a bootable DVD from the app store download of Mavericks. I wish to wipe my iMac clean and start over
thanks in anticipation

Well you can make a bootable dvd this way:
After downloading the Install OS X Mavericks.app file from the Mac App Store, run these 12 commands in Terminal to create a Mavericks.iso file and then burn it to a dual layer DVD with Disk Utility. You may then boot up from it by holding the option key down and then install mavericks. This will not install a recovery partition. To do that, uncompress and run the script file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13872235/Musings/Recovery%20Partition%20Crea tor%203.7.zip
hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_app
hdiutil convert /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg -format UDSP -o /tmp/Mavericks
hdiutil resize -size 8g /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage
hdiutil attach /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build
rm /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/Packages
cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/Packages /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/
hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_app
hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_build
hdiutil resize -size `hdiutil resize -limits /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print $1 }'`b /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage
hdiutil convert /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage -format UDTO -o /tmp/Mavericks
rm /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage
mv /tmp/Mavericks.cdr ~/Desktop/Mavericks.iso

I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!

Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere. The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free). I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again

Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

How can I make text slide in from the right?

I'm really enjoying learning more with Captivate 6 and the community has been very helpful so far. I can't figure out how to get very simple text effects/transitions such as bringing text from the side of the frame to "slide" into place. This has been a text effect of every program for a decade, is this basic transition available in 6? I'm making a list on a few screens and would very much like the text to simply slide in from the right.
I'm about to just make a transparent png with the text to accomplish this for now considering it's my best bet. Any information would be handy. Thanks!

Apparently if your resolution is too low or the workspace isn't allowing "space" for a full effects window to show up, the whole thing shows up blank and grey. How obnoxious! By closing my properties tab on the right (after many other fixes including making those pngs) it showed up.

Can I make things play automatically from the menu?

Hello! I was wondering if it is possible to have a "hidden" title on my DVD that will play automatically after a certain time from the main menu. It would be something like a hidden "bonus feature" or an easter egg. I know about the autoplay feature, but what I want is for it to play after going to to the main menu, not before. Is this possible with iDVD 6?
Thanks in advance!

... that is a nice riddle ...
here's how I would accomplish that...:
... if you use a static dvd-menu, you could do a screen-shot of the final dvd's menu...
add that screen shot to the very end of your Movie ...
add "hidden movie" behind that still in to your Movie
impression of viewer:
dvd starts, shows menu
viewer selects play
video plays
video ends;
dvd player jumps back to menu...
(indeed, video is still running....)
all of a sudden (time defined by length of still of menu), hidden feature starts...
ok, that "gimmick" will work once only ...

How can I make my clamshell boot from the CD-ROM

I have a Japanese version 300mhz tangerine clamshell with 160MB RAM and a 3gb hard drive. It ran well on OS 9.2 until yesterday when I decided to upgrade (erased old OS) to OS 10.2. The upgrade went smoothly (although took quite a while). After the upgrade, it detected software updates which I accepted and installed (took some time again). Again, the software update went well and I rebooted the machine. I was able to reboot successfully into OS 10.2. I then ran Monolingual 1.20 to remove all languages except U.S. English. Success! I recovered 325MB of disk space. I then tried running a downloaded Firefox .dmg file. It wouldn't run. I noticed the machine was acting funny. I could not shut down from the dropdown Apple logo, there were no dropdown options. So I just turned the machine off and then back on. That 's when the trouble started. I get the chime, I get the grey Apple logo and then the round progress meter. Then the screen switches to just a white background with no Apple logo but with the round progress meter still going and after a long while the round progress meter is stuck. The machine appears to be hung. I tried to boot from a 9.2 CD installer (by holding C key on boot up) but I could not. It goes straight to the grey Apple logo (OS X). Option key does not give me boot device options. Help!

Install the SSD, then boot OS X Internet Recovery by simultaneously holding the Command, Option, and R keys while starting the Mini.
You will see the following screen:
When the following screen appears, select Disk Utility.
Select the SSD, then the Erase tab. Next to "Format" select Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), give it a name, and click the Erase... button.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility which will return to the above screen. Select Reinstall Mac OS X and choose your SSD. You will need the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion.
It may take a few hours to download and install all its components.

I can't burn a normal dvd from final cut pro.Help would be much appreciated!

Hi.I am having great difficulty burning my final cut pro project to dvd.It is shot in HD and I have compressed it but when I burn a dvd it will not play in a normal/standalone dvd player.Could someone please tell me how to burn my project to dvd.Can HD film be burned to a normal dvd?The final cut pro file is only 1.3 GB.Any help/advice is much appreciated.Thank you.

>Could you please tell me what the best settings to use when compressing to quicktime or if infact it has to be done at all?
Matt has already told you twice; his first response (above) gave you step-by-step instruction.
I'll spell it out for you again but with slightly more detail:
1. In FCP, render the Sequence fully, then go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie. (do NOT use "Using QuickTime Conversion). In the export window, do NOT Recompress All Frames. You can chose to make the movie self-contained or not.
2. Use the resulting file in Compressor, where you will chose a DVD preset appropriate for your video's duration. If needed, you can duplicate then modify any preset to better suit your needs. Compressor will create two files; an MPEG-2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.ac3).
3. Use the two files created by Compressor in DVD Studio Pro to author and burn a DVD. Do NOT author an HD DVD as these will not play in DVD players.

How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

How can I force eject a dvd from the MBA superdrive?

Had to cancel a dvd burn midstream and shut down. Now the superdrive won't mount on the desktop, nor will the eject button make it spit out the disc.
Any ideas? I love the fact that this thing is so minimal it doesn't have a pinhole where you can manually eject the disc. Very cool.

There is one possibility. Holding down the trackpad button while starting up is supposed to force eject all removable media. You can try this. Some also have had success by holding the C key down.
