Can I use the 10.4 DVD's Disk Utility to Repair 10.3.9 Boot Drive

Can I use the Disk Utility from my 10.4 DVD (by holding down C) to repair the boot drive of my friend's 10.3.9 iBook G3?
Thanks in advance-
Eric

Unless you have a Tiger (10.4) retail install package, I don't believe so but I'm not positive.
Did your friend lose his/her Panther install package?
If so, he/she can use fsck instead.
fsck is a command-line utility that may be able to verify and repair a disk. If you can successfully start up in Safe Mode or use Disk Utility while started up from a disc, you don't need to use fsck. However, here are some situations in which fsck may be necessary.
Your Mac OS X disc isn't available.
Your optical drive isn't available.
You can't start with a Safe Boot.

How can I use the MPEG-2 DVD format for video rendering?

I have been trying to make a DVD out of my brother's wedding footage, but I've run into a wall. I would like to render out my footage in the .M2V format (MPEG-2 DVD), but I'm not given the option to use it. The only MPEG format I'm given is the .H264, and that doesn't work as well. How can I install the .M2V codec?

You should either:
Render to a suitable production codec and then compress for DVD in your authoring application.Use the Render Cue to render a PhotoJpg at NTSC or PAL file using default frame sizes for your AE rendering composition, then drop in Encore for authoring.
Open your AE project in Adobe Media Encoder, pick the composition you want to render from the list and pick the MPEG 2 for DVD preset.
Open Adobe Encore, select File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition and then set up your timelines and menu's as you like and select Build DVD.
All DVD authoring programs will compress standard def video in just about any format for DVD. After Effects, however, will not do multi-pass rendering which is required for high quality MPEG compression.

Satellite P200D-134 - can not use the Toshiba DVD player

I have the Satellite P200D-134 and can not use the Toshiba DVD player.
It displays an error message.
"Required modules missing for this application"
In Vista it worked everything fine.
Now I upgraded Windows 7 Ultimate and all Toshiba programs are gone.
And I can not use the Software HD DVD player or other Software from Toshiba.
What should I do?
Does anyone have any advice? Is there any help?
Please write back in German or English.
Thank you!
Rob

Hi
Did you install the VAP (value added package)?
If not do that!!!
Furthermore I recommend installing the DVD Player Update Check Tool which can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
With this tool, you can check your notebook, if your DVD-Player needs a Upgrade and if yes, it gives you the download link for the needed upgrade version.
By the way: If you cannot find the DVD Player for Win 7 in P200D section then you can download this from the P500 section!

Can I use the Superdrive to do a Multisession DVD

For some reason I cannot get Apple to give me a clear answer about the super drive in my MBP. CAN I USE THE SUPERDRIVE TO DO MULTIPLE SESSIONS ON A DVD!!! Sorry I'm yelling but they cannot hear me. The Super Drive is a DVD+RW which means you can do multiple session or so I thought. They keep telling me that I can but they dont really seem to know for sure, weird huh? So Can I use a DVD to do multisessions with the MBP?

Oh here is what the Disk Utility help file says, this is why I am stumped
Recording on a recordable disc more than once
Normally, you can burn items to a recordable disc, such as a CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-RW, only one time. However, if you use Disk Utility to burn the disc, you can burn items to a disk in more than one session as long as space is available. This is also called multisession burning.
1. In Disk Utility, create a disk image that contains the files you want to burn to the disc.
The files must be from a volume with a Mac OS Extended disk format. To check a volume's disk format, select the disk in Disk Utility and look at the information at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
2. Select the disk image in the Disk Utility list and choose Images > Burn.
3. Select the "Leave disc appendable" checkbox. If you don't see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner.
4. Insert a blank recordable disc in the optical drive, and click Burn.
To add more files to the disc later, follow the steps above. You can continue this process until all available space on the disc is used.

Can i use ANY external CD/DVD drive with the NEW mac mini?

We just got the newest Mac Mini and want to get an external drive for importing and burning CD's and DVD's.
Can we use ANY external CD/DVD drive or do we NEED to use the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive."
Thanks
Eliot

Maybe.
I've had some situations where a non-Apple DVD drive would not do a particular job. When I tried the same project with the Apple SuperDrive everything worked perfectly.
This is an area where I would not try to save money.

A65-S159 - I can't use the CD Recovery because my CD/DVD doesn't work properly

Hi, I need help to reinstall the system and drives. It's a Satellite A65-S159. The CD/DVD doesn't work properly. Rarely, the CD/DVD can read a DVD. So I can't use the CD Recovery. What may I do?
Thank you,
Cabula, Brazil

There are two ways to run the recovery DVD, one is from Windows. Instead power ont he computer with the disk in the drive. And imediatly after powering on start pressing the F12 key. After a few seconds you should see a boot device menu that you can select the CD/DVD drive to boot from. Try that and let us know if you got the boot menu, and if the disk worked.

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

If we bought a mac with OS X 10.6.6 and my sister has a mac with 10.5.8, can we use the install DVD to put snow leopard on hers? Is it legal? Does it erase everything?

If we bought a mac with OS X 10.6.6 and my sister has a mac with OS X 10.5.8, can we use the install DVD that came with the newer one to put OS X 10.6.6 on hers? Would it work? Does it erase everything? Is that even legal?
Thank you for any help!

It won't work.

what player do you intend to use? That is what I am wanting to check.. you understand there is no itunes server in the TC..
BTW if you want to use the TC in your car/SUV.. convert it to 12v operation.

How can I install drivers for bootcamp without using the mac install dvd?

I installed windows 7 in bootcamp on my mac. I put the drivers on a FAT format usb stick so they should be installed while the windows installation was running. The most things are working on windows like the i-sight-camera. The problem is that the microphone doesn´t work so I look for a solution for 3 days, no result. Normally, you use the mac install dvd to install the necessary drivers but windows doesn´t want to read the dvd. And yes, you can download the drivers on the apple platform, but that doesn´t help me at all.
Thanks in advance. (sorry for the language)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You didn't install Boot Camp drivers. It looks like you downloaded these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
Those drivers are only for the graphic card and Bluetooth, not anything else, so you have to download the Boot Camp drivers on OS X and install them in Windows

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.

Yes, you can use the 85 watt adaptor. You cannot use the new adaptors because your computer is not equipped with the proper MagSafe connector. But you can use the older MBP adaptors as well as a 60 watt replacement adaptor. All can be found at Apple's Online Store.

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI in without any additional software or graphics adaptor. I have a 520-1070
HP - 23" Touch-Screen TouchSmart All-In-One Computer - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive ? I used a HDMI to HDMI cable and the monitor was not recognized.

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Desktop Computer. As previously stated your computer Doesn't have a HDMI output, instead it has a HDMI input. This is designed to let you connect a game console, a DVD/Bluray player, etc. to use as a monitor.
If you wish to conect a second monitor to your computer, you will need to use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or EVGA UV Plus+ UV19. Using an adapter like these with the touch feature of your computer may cause issues with pointer control and you may need to disable the touch feature to use "extended desktop".
