Hi Rick,
I'm thinking the MBP may have not installed the needed iMac drivers, I think I'd try installing in the iMac again, maybe using the MBP's Optical drive with the MBP in Target mode...

HD needs repair but only get a looping Restart with a Leopard DVD and USBHD

Ok here are my specs

Ok so here is a quick a dirty break down.
Computer has been acting Programs freezing and CPU slowing down.
I ran Verify Disk in Disk Utilities and it said I need to repair Disk.
After a day of head aches I am finally asking for help.
So here is the problem on my old powerbook pro I could just load in Target Mode and repair with tech tool or disk warrior but alas my macbook has no firewire.
So just incase of emergancy's I have a thumbdrive with a live 10.5.3 and all my disk utilities. I've used it on my wifes older Intel Macbook Pro 17" and it works fine.
Today though when i restart hold down the option key "alt" and select the drive my macbook restarts acts like its going to load and the restarts again. This restart loop will go on as long as I let it.
Ok so usb drives can be problematic. Surely starting to the OS X Retail DVD with 10.5.4 and running disk utilities will work. Nope still get the endless restart loop when I've loaded the install dvd and restart with command "c" as well I get the same response if I select it after holding the option key.
Now my hard drive won't even start up either unless I boot in single user mode.
I am lost.
HELP Please.

Have you tried booting into safeboot (safemode)? You may want to try resetting your PRAM and or SMC. Another thing you might try is to plug the thumbdrive in the other USB port.
If you could get an external USB drive with osx on it you could try booting from it.
Apple sure did screw up not putting firewire on that Macbook, my wife has one and I just can't get over it. Sure can make it hard to troubleshoot.

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

I have a new MacBook Air with a USB super drive. I put in the DVD and I get nothing. No icon on the desk top and DVD player is no help. How do I play a DVD or eject the one in now?

There's a defect. The computer is in warranty so take it in for repair.

Recording sound from DVD and CD play

I just bought a Zen V Plus. Could someone please tell me how to record sound from a DVD and/or CD to my MP3? Thank you!

Try this:
1. Connect the Line IN jack on your player to the line output of an external stereo source, such as a CD or MiniDisc player, using the supplied line-in cable.
2. Press the Back/Options .You may need to do this more than once until the main menu appears.
3. Select Extra button to start a line-in encoding.
5. On your external stereo source, start playing the song you want to encode.
6. While encoding, you can press and hold the Back/Options button and select one of the following items:
Pauses the encoding. You can also pause the encoding by pressing the Play/Pause button.
Stops and saves the encoding. You can also stop the encoding by pressing the Record
Split Ends and saves current recording session, and begins a new one.
7. Press the Record button to end the line-in recording. The recorded track is named LINE followed by the date and time of the recordin YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS<. For example, if you record a track on March 5, 2004 at 2:57 pm, the track is named LINE
This information can also be found in your user's guide, it's a .chm file found in your installation cd.

Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd.
Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart. Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk. I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work. The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine. When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open.
Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does.
Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
All of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:
http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
I hope you'll post here with your results!

How can I remove all messages, save to a DVD, and access them easily later?

I recently dropped my .Mac account in order to use Gmail full time. I would like to be able to take those mac.com messages off of my computer--preferably saving them to a DVD--so that when I activate my Gmail account in Mail, they would be totally separate. I am also trying to save hard drive space.
I've looked around about this, and even downloaded some Applescripts for Archiving mail, but those seem to continually make Mail crash (I have 3 years worth of email saved in Mail.app--about 3,000 emails). I have read enough about Backup to know that it saves things in strange/proprietary ways.
Is the best plan simply to copy that ~/Library/Mail folder, straight up to a DVD, and then clear it off of my Mac? How do I do that without making Mail.app unstable? And will it be difficult to then read them from the DVD later if I need messages?

... and import its contents back into Mail whenever you wish ...
You can also open individual .emlx message files within the copied mailboxes to read them, without first importing them back into Mail. However, by itself this isn't very practical because the files have names like "12345.emlx" that offer no clue about their content, so finding the message of interest among 3000 of them is a challenge.
You might think that Spotlight would help with this, but in its normal state it excludes .emlx files from searches, so you can't simply do a Finder search on subject, content, etc. There are ways around this but none are simple:
1. Use a Spotlight "raw query" search to find the messages. This avoids the exclusion of .emlx files that is tacked onto all normal Spotlight queries but requires knowledge of the syntax of raw queries. (To get an idea of how that looks, & to see the exclusions, you can do a "Get Info" on a Smart Folder. The raw query string is listed after the "Query:" entry in the General section.)
2. Replace the ".emlx" extension with ".txt" or similar in the copied messages. (This could be done with an AppleScript using Finder.) Spotlight will then include the files in searches. In this case, opening the message file by default will be with TextEdit or similar, so you won't have access to "Reply" or similar features of Mail, but you will see the entire message, including the preference-like xml info about it that follows the message body in the raw .emlx file. As long as you don't alter the content, you can reimport the message into Mail by changing the extension back to ".emlx."
3. Mimic what the Mail archive utilities do & construct a database that either relates the numbered .emlx files to their content or import entire files into database records & use its search features to find the messages of interest. This is appealing if you have a powerful database app like Filemaker & skills at database construction because you can construct any view of the info you want & organize it however you like. Obviously, if you don't, it would be simpler to buy a utility, which may offer other features that you might find useful.
These alternatives would be most useful if you need to avoid reimporting large mailboxes back into Mail because of disk space concerns. They also avoid the perhaps considerable time it would take to reimport thousands of messages just to find one or two of interest. The second & third ones are somewhat self-contained & independent of Mail itself, which is both a strength & a weakness, depending on your needs.

Followed video about burning my completed movie to a DVD and iDVD was not listed in the sharing drop down. What gives?

Why wasn't iDVD listed in sharing drop down when trying to burn DVD?

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Blank DVDs and CD-Rs No Longer Appear

Since installing the latest security update for 10.3.9 on my 1.8 Dual Processor PowerMac (yes, I repaired permissions immediately before and after installing the update) blank recordable media no longer appear in Finder or on the Desktop. I am able to use iTunes and apps with the ability to burn to record some things and the discs behave normally, but I can no longer insert a blank disc and copy folders or files to it to burn because it does not appear anywhere on the system. Named blank discs do not come up when I use Search either. These are the same batch of discs I have been using for months with 100% success (Imation brand of DVD-R and +Rs), and like I said, they work fine through certain apps that have a burn function. Seems like a Finder issue to me. Any thoughts?
When I insert a blank it get this error in Console:
Apr 25 11:35:57 ####-####-Computer kernel: disk4: media is not formatted.
My optical drive is a SONY DVD RW DW-U10A
Here is a list of what I have done in an attempt to resolve the issue:
-repaired permissions
-in System Preferences set the action to open Finder when blank discs are inserted (tried changing settings and restarting)
-used Onyx to clean system and app caches
-put machine to sleep and woke it (read somewhere this might do it)
-trashed the finder.plist file
-used Panther install disc to verify and repair the Volume (says all's good)
-downloaded the update again and reinstalled
My three external firewire drives all show up as usual, and USB CF cards mount normally. Recorded DVDs and CD-Rs appear normally.
In Disk Utility I see the disc icon with the name of the optical drive when there is a blank disc in the drive, but it says under Total Capacity: 0Bytes, and under Write Ability: Read Only (CD-R).
Any thoughts or ideas on what I could try will be greatly appreciated! I really need to burn some backups!
Thanks very much,
Kevan

I upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 using a drop in DVD and now I can't log in...
This was on a G5 imac. I tried booting to the DVD and resetting the password but this did not help.
I did see the 2 user accounts still there when I reset the password so that gives me hope that my data is all there intact.
I need help getting past this login screen PLEASE!
The login name is blank and I've tried everything to get past it.
I heard from a tech that there was a problem when upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 instead of the 10.5.3 or whatever, and it was a known issue when using the 10.5.0 disc to upgrade and he said that there was information on apple's site on what to do when this happens but I have not come accross this info as of yet.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks!!!

OK I finally got passed the above problem by just trying to type it in over and over and over and it finally took!
It seems as though I may have typed it wrong or misspelled something but I could swear I put it in the same way everytime!
NOW...
when I type : passwd username
replacing username with the short name it says
paddwd: Unknown user name 'username'
someone told me that possibly the home folder is still there and intact but the login may have gotten trashed and that i may need to recreate the user login. Does that sound like a possibility?

greetings from berlin

Greetings,
It appears to be a FW problem, possibly flaky case, or drive problem.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Free DVD and Video Converter for 2nd gen. Ipod Touch?

Is there a free online converter for DVD and video formats not compatible with Itunes. I have a dvd recorder and have transfered some of the movies to my computer and would now like to put them on the Touch. Same issue with video I have collected on the Internet. I would like to find a free program that will transfer these files to my touch! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Burn DVD and it has a sign on that says 3ivx Trial why??

I did an update two days ago but I didn't check the details.. I don't know if maybe that cause whats happening.
I burn my dvd as always but when I put it to see it, it has a big red sign on it that says 3ivx Trial. Why is that?? How I can get rid of it??? this didnt happen before. I always burn my dvds and everything was perfect until now!! HELP!!!!

3ivx is a audio/video compression application. Sounds as if you downloaded the trial version to process your media content and got the trial message watermark in the video. Check to see if you have 3ivx somewhere on your Mac.

Mac Pro not recognizing bootable DVDs and Disk Utility giving odd results.

My issue is complex, but I'll try my best to explain it as I can.
One has been resolved it seems, but I am including it so that the whole issue can be seen in context.
Friday, May 16, 2014
Last night, after rebooting my Mac Pro from my Bootcamp partition (I'm using Windows 7 Professional if that information is helpful) I received a kernel panic upon Mac OS X booting (Mac OS X 10.6.8).
My first action was to launch Disk Utility to verify the Mac HD, verify was stopped by disk utility citing that I should insert my Mac OS X install DVD and repair the disk.
I tried booting from my Snow Leopard install DVD. After the grey Apple logo appeared with the gear spinning below it remained for roughly ten to fifteen seconds (a little long) — then the Apple logo changed to. A grey prohibitory sign (circle with a diagonal line through it, the spinning gear remained. — I tried booting from the Snow Leopard DVD a few time, same result.
Following this I tried booting using Disk Warrior, same result again.
I tried booting both the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs in both my upper and lower optical drives, with no change.
I decided to leave the issue and call Apple Support in the morning
Saturday, May 17, 2014
This morning I woke my Mac Pro from sleep, opened Disk Utility and tried verifying the hard drive to see if it was temporary — same result, 'please insert the Mac OS X install DVD and repair the drive.' — I also tried booting the install DVD again with no result.
I then booted my Mac into Safe Mode to check my hardware.
Upon opening Disk Utility and verifying my Mac HD — the result "Macintosh HD appears to be OK", rand the test again to see if this was an anomaly, but disk returned another pass.
I performed a normal restart of my system, although Finder was a little slower to load than normal, the system booted correctly. — I then launched Disk Utility and verified the Mac HD, it returned another pass.
This confused me, after a call to Apple Support the tech explained that 'sometime a Safe Mode boot will fix problems because it disables all non-essential processes when booting. — That makes sense to me.
However.
The issue of my Mac not recognizing bootable DVDs remains — it reads disks correctly, it just will not boot them.
Other steps I have taken to try and resolve this remaining issue.
1. a PRAM reset. — No change.
2. an SMC reset. — No change.
3. Removal of newly installed RAM. — I have tried both running the old and new RAM separately, no change using either combination.
4. Running bootable DVDs in different optical bays. — No change from both bays.
a. My upper drive is an MCE Blu-Ray/DVD combo drive, but I have booted from this drive before. (Less than six months old.)
b. My lower drive is LG DVD-RAM combo drive, I have also booted from this drive before. (Over one year old, replacement for an Apple optical drive.)
None of the above steps have helped, I still cannot boot from my optical drives — I always receive a prohibitory sign shortly after the Apple logo.
Other system information:
Mac OS X 10.6.8
8GB of RAM (4 x 2GB)
500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD (less than a year old, boot drive for Mac OS X 10.6.8)
1TB Samsung HDD (for data storage and also containing Bootcamp partition)
2TB HDD (cannot remember manufacturer, contains Time Machine backups, as well as data storage)
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of VRAM
Sorry for the long post but I really need to be able to boot from my optical drives.

Update: found an old Mountain Lion installation USB flash drive I created a while back.
I am able to boot from the ML USB flash drive, but am still unable to boot from my either my Snow Leopard Install DVD or my Disk Warrior DVD. — I have verified both DVD and they pass verification tests.
This leads me to believe that the problem resides either in the Mac, or in BOTH the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs.
Since I am able to boot from a USB drive, I will look into the possibility of creating a bootable Snow Leopard drive, and perhaps also a Disk Warrior drive — at least until I can resolve the 'not able to boot from DVD' issue.

I have a MacPro with 10.7.2 installed. I want to create a new partition and install 10.5. When I put in the install DVD and restart the computer, it does not restart. What can I do?

I just purchased a MacPro with 10.7.2 installed. I want to install 10.5 on a separate partition.
I created the partition with no issues, now when I put in the 10.5 install DVD and restart the computer, it does not restart.
All I get is a grey screen. no icons, no nothing. I have to shut the computer down.
I really need to do this. I plan on upgrading to FCP X, but I still need to finish some old projects that were done with FCP 7. I need the different boot drives

Mac Pro - Mid 2010
Processor 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
This is a brand new machine that I just purchased from Apple. It was delivered yesterday
The old computer is an old PowerMac G5, but my OS X install disc is a retail version of 10.5.
I also tried the OS X 10.5 install disc that came with my MacBook Pro (2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dual).
Same issue - nothing but a grey screen when the system tries to boot from the DVD

Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.

Dvd and no so
