Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?
I've had my mac for less than a month and for the first time I put in a disc. I can hear a laser sort of noise as well as the disc flapping about or a motor sort of sound? Sounds really bad to me :/
Someone please help!

Sounds like a hardware issue.
Did you buy the system from Apple? If so how recent is recent? If it is new you have 14 days to return it, not sure what the situation is with refurb systems. If it is over 14 days you should still have warranty support make an appointment at an Apple Store or contact Apple support.
If you bought it from someone other then Apple you will need to contact them.
good luck

PGP engine wants to make changes every 5 minutes - how can i stop it?

I get pop up messages saying pgp engine wants to make changes every 5 minutes - how can i stop it?

The best way would be to uninstall PGP and use FileVault instead. If you can't do that, refer to Symantec for support, and good luck with that.

While trimming a clip in my timeline, the entire timeline moves with my trim. How can I stop that and leave a gap in-between clips?

While trimming a clip in my timeline, the entire timeline moves with my trim. How can I stop that and leave a gap in-between clips? Also when I use my blade it only leaves a dotted line in the clip. How can I make that a solid line? I do a lot of flickering in my videos and don't need that some what of a snapping effect while I edit. Please help me someone. I believe i upgraded from FCP 10.0.1 to 10.0.3 and before it never did this.

Mark an In point and an Out point (which creates a Range) and hit the forward delete key (Replace with Gap.) On a MacBook, you'll probably need to hold down the Fn key and type the Delete key (or, I think you might be able to use Shift-Delete as the same command). On an iMac/Mac Pro keyboard, it's the key just to the left of 'end' or the next key above the left arrow key.
You can use the Range tool (hold down the R key and click drag over your clip) or the Blade tool to cut at the in and out (then select the cut and replace with gap).
You can also go into Commands > Customize (command-option-K) and assign a different key to Replace with Gap.
If you need to ripple edit the ends (cut), create a small section that is Gap, and hold down the T key while you use the mouse to click drag both ends (double sided trim cursor) of the cut.
Don't worry about the dotted line blade... That just lets you know that the frames on either side of the cut are continuous, or sequential — nothing has been moved yet. Once frames from either side of the mark have been cut, it becomes a full fledged cut resembling a separate clip.

In Ver. XI it always asks if I want to save changes-even tho I made no changes. How can I stop that?

Thank you Pat..that was very kind of you to help. And yes-it does happen with every pdf. But you're right-if I just say yes one time..then I'm not prompted the next time I open that particular pdf-but it does make me confirm I want to write over the same name the file had already in order to save it.
I made all my pdf's with the Chrome save as pdf command..never had a error message in prior Acrobat when closing the file.
All the best Pat

Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts? If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password. If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

When I enter keywords of faces in iphoto it automaticaly sends it to Facebook. How can I stop that?

I am busy re organizing my photos in iphoto, but I notice that everytime I enter a name of keyword of a person's name on a photo, it automatically sends it to Facebook. How can I stop that?

You can not - iPhoto and FB sync so changes in either are reflected in the other - if that is not what you want then upload photos directly not via iPhoto
