Can MPEG folder be discarded after 'Build' has created Video_TS folder?

Hello, I am clearing things off my hard drive, and archiving. It appears that a video_TS file is self-sufficient file, and can be used at a later time to burn more DVDs. (I burn them in Toast.)
I am confused about the folder that is created when I import a Final Cut program into DVDSP-the MPEG-with PAR. I assume these are just compressed versions of the Final Cut program that become the video and audio assets to author the DVD. Once I do the 'Build' in DVDSP, can I dump the MPEG files? (I always make a high quality self-contained Quicktime movie in Final Cut of the program for archival reasons.)
Thanks very much, Bob

Thanks Eric, One more question about these MPEG folders. I don't seem to have any control as to where they come up. The last one that got created, came up in my Final Cut Projects folder, right with the FC video that was imported. Then I also discovered an single MPEG folder that contained files for many different projects. Is there a way to designate an exact folder where the MPEG will go, before I click 'Import' in DVDSP?
Thanks, Bob

AUDIO_TS folder is empty after Build completed

I've just run a Build and a Format (to DDP) of my single layer PAL DVD. The video track was .m2v and the were two .ac3 audio tracks.
The Build process completed with no errors. BUT, the resulting AUDIO_TS folder was empty. The VIDEO_TS folder had lots of files in it.
I am new at this... but shouldn't there be some files in the AUDIO_TS folder? I'd like to know if my DVD will have audio or not, and I don't know how to test the finished Format because the output was DDP.

But standard stand alone player, can play them? What
else you get from them?
If you put 5.1 audio in a standard Video DVD with
just some menus to play . . . what less you get
compared with an Audio DVD 5.1?
I would guess most 'real' DVD players would accept it, and a few high end Audio systems.
Other than it being a surround sound Audio disk (unlike an ordinary CD) I am not sure it has any benefits. This may be why sales of DVD-A and SACD disks have flopped.
It was not my disk so I don't have much experience of it/them myself. I merely came in contact with it because a friend wanted help converting it to a plain vanilla Audio CD so he could play it in his car.
I just could not get anything on the Mac to work with it and ended up converting the video DVD version it also came with by extracting just the audio from that, splitting it in to tracks and then burning to an Audio CD.

HT3702 Can I stop a purchase after it has happened?

Can I stop a purchase of a in-app application after it has already happened?

really you cant, you can report a problem and send an email to the itunes store when you get your email recept, but they most likely wont refund you if you have bought something on accident.

Can't Import or Burn a disk from a Video_TS folder

I have a series of files in a Video_TS folder that play fine in DVD player (with all menus etc) but I'm unable to burn a disk with them. When I try to import them into DVD studio I get an unreadable format error. When I examinde them in the finder I see that they have a "unix executable file association".
Any idea how I can make this into a burnable DVD image?

Making copy of a DVD that has no VIDEO_TS folder

A friend of mine made me a DVD on a home DVD video recorder. The DVD plays fine. However, when I mount it and take a look inside, there is no VIDEO_TS folder. There is not anything at all! I want to extract part of the DVD but don't know where to begin without a VIDEO_TS folder to view the VOB files. None of my usual backup or VOB extraction apps seem to work. ANy suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.

If it is a video DVD then those files MUST be there!
You need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

Maybe this question has been found already, but I have yet to find the answer. How can I restore my bookmarks after it has been deleted from my 'bookmarkbackups' folder?

So it has been a couple months now since I last cleaned up my bookmarks toolbar. And I could remember a couple of bookmarks tabs I wish I did not delete. I found some articles saying I could try restoring previous versions of my bookmarks from the dates of recent system restore points. But the earliest date I found was of only last week's. I've checked everywhere in my Firefox profile for anything that I could restore to date back into that time, but they too only tracked back as early as last week. I believe the automatic backups Firefox had made during that time has now long been deleted from the system in order to make room for my most current ones. How am I going to be able to retrieve those bookmarks when their aren't any backups available now to restore from?

If you do not have backups of your bookmarks, either in the bookmarkbackups folder or saved elsewhere, then you can't restore your bookmarks.

Can I edit a form after it has been submitted?

For example:
I have a Purchase Request form that is filled out by the person requesting the purchase and after submission, our financial advisor has to fill in additional data in the same form.

The form is created in Acrobat X Pro. I uploaded it to FormsCentral and distributed it that way.
When you click "submit" it goes back to FormsCentral.
What I'm hoping to accomplish is that someone can fill out the form with the appropriate information, submit it, and then after approval a second individual can go in and add additional information to the form.

Can I renew/purchase AppleCare after it has expired?

I have a MacBook that I purchased back in 2010. I could have sworn I renewed my AppleCare before the first year was up, but I apprently didn't. My computer has been acting up and now that I have OS Mavericks it's getting mucked up even more. I just want to bring it into a store to have someone fix it, but I don't have AppleCare and was wondering if it's still possible to purchase it even though it has expired. I'm a PhD student so I don't have a lot of money to be throwing around to spend on repairs or buying a new computer in general.
Thanks!

The answer is No. Extended Apple Care cannot be purchased after the first year.
However, you can make an appointment with an Apple "genius" at your local Apple store and have her / him look at your Macbook. The diagnosis is free. And if there is no hardware to be replaced, this will cost you nothing.
The Apple store will do a complete diagnosis, and any necessary software tweeks at no cost.

HT201210 how can i enable my device after it has been disabled and itunes wont connect to it?

itunes wont connect to my device because it has a passode set. but i can not disable the passcode because my device is disabled. what can i do about it?

Put iPhone into Recovery Mode. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

I Can't copy the vi after build application

I copy the vi and make it run using vi server, it works great in the development environment. But when i build application,
it seems to can't copy. I know the path of application is different with development environment. the VI is in a internal.llb of exe.
I try many ways of copy the vi, and place a indicator on the path of the copy vi, but every time I find it is "not a path"
Why?

There are all kinds of differences between LV and the run-time engine, but I don't think they should affect copying of VIs (even built ones). I suggest you post your code so we can look at it.
By the way, if you what you want is multiple copies of your VI, all you need to do is rename its extension to vit and call it using VI server. A new copy will be created in memory each time you do this with each copy having its own memory space and FP. Search the example finder for VI templates and you will probably find some examples.
Addition - if you're trying to copy the VI into the exe, that is probably the reason for this as the exe would be write protected when it's running and you can't write into it. You shouldn't change an executable yourself anyway, as I think they're signed and changing them might cause the RTE not to run them.

HT204053 how can i get pictures back after it has backed up

my husband backed up my i phone 4s and now he lost all my pictures of my kids. how can i find them.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Assuming that the backup that was made, was made before the pictures were deleted, then a full restore of the mobile device should restore all the photos that you had.

How do i make the program hold after it has created a JFrame

I have created a JFrame with which the user shall login to a server. I call this JFrame from my main method (the JFrame-class is in a separate file). My problem is that after the login-window is created and set visible, my main method continues, i would like it to wait until the user have logged in before running the rest of the code.
this i my main method:
new LoginWindow();
System.out.println("Logged in: "+Session.isLoggedin()+
                "\nUsername: "+Session.getUsername());Session.isLoggedin() returns a boolean, true if user is logged in and otherwise false. class LoginWindow extends JFrame.
i have tried to use a while-loop to solve my problem:
while(!Session.isLoggedin()) { }and also
whiel(true){
    if(Session.isLoggedin())
        break;
}these while-loops never breaks, i have waited for about 3 min after successful login.It isn't because Session.isLoggedin() returns false, it does return true after a successful login (i've checked).
the funny thing however is if i print something in the while-loop i does break when login is finished
example:
whiel(true){
    System.out.println(Session.isLoggedin());
    if(Session.isLoggedin())
        break;
}this code makes the program wait until the login-phase is complete but i don't want it to print "text" a few thousand times while the user is logging in. (i've used "hej" as output aswell)
Since i have no idea how long it will take for a user to log in i can't use the System.sleep(value) method.
I would really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance

I am still curious about why the while-loop only breaks if i print something using System.out.println(""), i didn't think that would make a difference since the break-statement remains the same.In general you should avoid trying to use while (true) or its variants in a Swing GUI as it often messes with the EDT, the main thread that renders the GUI graphics and interacts with the user.
My problem i however partially solved by using a JDialog instead of a JFrame. I am planning on using JFrame later in the program so the problem might come back to haunt me if it isn't solved.This may not be a great idea. Usually an application has one single JFrame. Most other distinct windows a dialogs of one sort or another and should be JDialogs, not JFrames. Often better still is to use a CardLayout to swap JPanels or other components.

Can't use local users after they are created

I have a mid '11 macbook pro, with OS X Lion w/ Server functionality installed on it from Apple, so far no third-party server apps/functionality. I have been using Macs and *nix style systems for some time and haven't this specific problem before on lion or previous versions. I have used the server app but never had any problems before.
Ok, so my actual problem: I create local user accounts, through the system preferences pane, configure parental controls and everything that needs to go along with the new accounts, have fast user switching enabled and can see the icon up in my status bar but it will not let me switch to another user account at all. Even upon a fresh boot, I don't have a list of users or anything that might let me select anything other than my main admin account. I do not want to keep using the local admin just because (for possible security reasons) and I am trying to allow family members access to the computer as well with these accounts and it just isn't working (with all known pertinant options checked).
Please help me with this, if there are any screenshots you would like I can provide you with necessary info.
Thanks in advance!!!

CAN I LOCK A DVD AFTER IT'S BEEN BURNDED SO NO-ONE ELES CAN COPY IT?

Can you lock a DVD after it has bee burned?

It is possible, but not an easy or cheap solution in the case of video DVDs (ones that can be played in a DVD player).
If you mean a playable DVD (one that can be played in a DVD player) - you can only do this with additional software such as RipGuard. It's not a cheap solution and requires a pc with WinXP. There are DVD replication houses that can do this for you, of course for a fee. Even if implemented, however, there are plenty of DVD ripper apps out there that can defeat the copy protection.
If you mean a data DVD (one that contains data files that may be read by a computer but not played on a DVD player) - you can do this by creating an encrypted disc image in Disk Utility and then burning it to DVD media. You will then need the key (password) in order to open the disk.
