Help needed ASAP! Ext. DVD-RW Drive Question

I need help...I have a Mac Mini purchased in 2005 with just a CD-R (I didn't buy the SuperDrive model).
I am wanting to connect a firewire DVD-RW drive to burn a slideshow created in iPhoto. However, I do not have iDVD on the machine, and when I try to install from the internal CD drive, I get a prompt telling me that it will only install on machines with the SuperDrive (even though this is the CD that came with the machine).
If I connect the external DVD burner, will I be able to use that to install iDVD and then burn my slideshow?
Help!! I need the slideshow by Sunday of this week!!

Found it:
iLife: How to Install iDVD on a Macintosh Without a SuperDrive
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93290
or
Control-click on the file called "Install iLife '05" and select "Show original"
From there you should be able to install each part of iLife individually.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Don't say things like "urgent" or "asap" (as in your title, "error messages help need asap!!!!"). It's rude.

Also, you store a number in my_val, but never use that number, and you have a variable called tasktotal that's never defined. Should my_val and tasktotal be the same variable?
Perhaps this is what you want:

    tasktotal   NUMBER;
BEGIN
    SELECT COUNT(distinct t.task_type_no)

Help needed asap! Will my IPAD 3G wifi work in another country with the sim of a 3G services provider?

Help needed asap! I want to buy an IPAD 3G + Wifi before I return to my country from the US. The problem is that I have GSM service providers in my country that provide 3G services but I am wondering if their SIM card would work in the IPAD? In other words, can I get an unlocked IPAD 3G wifi? Thanks for helping out

The AT&T 3G iPads (which are GSM/sim based) in the US are not locked (the Verizon models are CDMA based so they effectively are). So as long as you can get a sim in your own country you shouldn't have a problem

Help needed! T40 DVD driver cannot read DVD

Dear Expert
My DVD driver cannot DVD. The DVD driver icon in "My Computer" does not show the name of the DVD and when clicked, shows "no DVD inserted".
But it can read CD.
Thanks very much for your help and advice in advance,
Cath

there is a possibility that the laser associated with the DVD reader is no longer functional, while your CD reader laser still is, as these two lasers are different.

Adding a RAID card to help speed up export (and other drive question) in Premiere Pro CC

First of all, I have read Tweakers Page exporting section because that is where my primary concern is. First my questions, then background and my current and proposed configurations:
Question 1: Will adding a hardware RAID controller, such as an LSI MegaRAID remove enough burden from the CPU managing parity on my software RAID 5 that the CPU will jump for joy and export faster?
Question 2: If true to above, then compare thoughts on adding more smaller SSDs for either a one volume RAID 0 or smaller two volume RAID 0 to complement existing HDD RAID 5. That is, I'm thinking of buying four Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB SSDs to put in a four disk volume to handle everything (media/projects, media cache, previews, exports), or split it up into two volumes of two disks each and split the duties, or keep the four disk volume idea and put the previews & exports on my HDD RAID 5 array.
The 850's are rated at SEQ read/write: 550/470 MB/s thus I could get around 2000/1500 MB/s read write in a four disk RAID 0 or 1/2 that if I split into two volumes to minimize volumes from reading/writing at the same time, if that really matters with these SSDs?
The Tweaker's page made a few comments. One is splitting duties among different disks, rather than a large efficient RAID may actually slow things down. Since the SSDs are much faster than a single HDD, I'm thinking that is no longer accurate, thus I'm leaning toward the Four disk configuration putting OS & Programs on C drive, Media & Projects on D (HDD RAID 5), Pagefile & Media Cache on SSD (2-disk RAID 0) and Previews &Exports on 2nd SSD RAID 0 (or combine the two RAID 0's and their duties).
Just trying to get a perspective here, since I haven't purchased anything yet. Any experience/stories, I would appreciate.
My current drive configuration:
My D drive is software RAID 5 consisting of four 1 TB Western Digital RE4 (RED) 7200 RPM HDDs with a CrystalDiskMark SEQ Read/Write of 339/252 MB/s.
The C drive is SSD 500 GB (Samsung 840 (not Pro) and does 531/330 MB/s. My OS, Program Files and Page File are on C, and data/media files/project, etc all are on the RAID drive.
Problem:
Current setup allows for smooth editing, only the exporting seems slow, often taking between two and two and a half times the video length to export. Thus a 10 minute video takes 20-30 minutes to export. 15 minute video can take 30-40 minutes to export. The first 10% of the two-pass export takes under a minute (seems fast), but it gets slower where the final 10 or 20% can hang for many minutes like my system is running out of steam. So where is the waste?
I have enabled hardware acceleration (did the GPU hack since my GPU isn't listed) and it may spike at 25% usage a few times and eat up 600 MB of VRAM (I have 2 GB of VRAM), otherwise it is idle the whole export. The CPU may spike at 50% but it doesn't seem overly busy either.
Our timeline is simple with two video streams and two audio streams (a little music and mostly voice) with simple transitions (jump cuts or cross dissolves). We sometimes fast color correct, so that might use the GPU? Also, since we film in 1080 60P and export 1080 29.97 frames/sec, I think that is scaling and uses the GPU. I know without the GPU, it does take a lot longer. I have ruled out buying a faster GPU since it doesn't appear to be breaking a sweat. I just need to know if my system is bottlenecked at the hard drive level because I'm using software RAID and my disks are slow and will hardware RAID significantly reduce the CPU load so it can export faster.
Our files are not huge in nature. Most our clips are several MBs each. Total project files are between 5 GBs and 10 GBs for each video with Windows Media File export being 500 MB to 1.2 GB on average. We shoot using Panasonic camcorders so the original files are AVCHD, I believe (.MTS files?).
Considerations:
1. I'm thinking of buying (and future proofing) an LSI Logic MegaRAID 9361-8i that is 12Gb/s SAS and SATA (because some current SSDs can exceed the 6Gb/s standard).
2. I'm not replacing my current RAID 5 HDDs because not in my budget to upgrade to 6 or more large SSDs. These drives are more important to me for temporary storage because I remove the files once backed up. I don't mind a few inexpensive smaller SSDs if they can make a significant difference for editing and exporting.
I can only guess my HDD RAID is slow but the CPU is burdened with parity. I would imagine running RAID 10 would not help much.
My setup:
my setup:
CPU - i7-3930K CPU @4.5 GHz
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 @2000
Motherboard - ASUS P9X79 WS LGA 2011
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB (performed the compatibility list hack to enable hardware acceleration).
C drive - 500 GB Samsung 840 SSD (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and programs).
D drive - four 1 TB WD RE4 Enterprise HDDs 7200 RPMs in software RAID 5
Case - Cooler Master HAF X
CPU Fan - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 120 mm fan
Power Supply - Corsair Pro Series AX 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold
Optical Drive - Pioneer BDR - 208DBK
thanks in advance,
Eric

........software RAID 5 off the motherboard ??????......NOT a good idea, from what I have read here on this forum from experts like Harm Millard and others. They have mentioned a LARGE overhead on the CPU doing this....causing sub-par performance. RAID 0 off the motherboard will NOT do this, however.....RAID 0 would provide optimum speed, but, with the risk of total data loss if ANY drive fails. You may wish to reconfigure your RAID to be RAID 0...BUT...you would need to DILIGENTLY back up its entire volume onto perhaps a quality 4TB drive very frequently.
A lot depends on the nature of your current and FUTURE codecs you plan to edit. You may not want to sink a lot of money into an older setup that may have trouble with more demanding future codecs. For now, in the 1080p realm, your rig should be OK....the read/write performance on your CURRENT RAID 5 setup is not great, and a definite drag on the performance. The rest of your components appear to be fine.....the Samsung SSD, though not ideal, is OK.....it's write speed is WAY lower than the Pro model,but, the drive is used mainly for reading operations. Since you have Windows 7 Pro, and NOT Windows 8.......you CAN put the entire windows page file onto the RAID 0 you might create.....this will take that frequent read/write load OFF the SSD. Read the "tweakers Page" to see how to best TUNE your machine. To use your current setup most efficiently, without investing much money, you would :a. create the RAID 0 off the motherboard, ( putting all media and project files on it ) b. install a quality 7200rpm 4TB HDD to serve as a BACKUP of the RAID array. Then, install a Crucial M550 256GB or larger SSD, ( close in performance to Samsung 850 Pro...much cheaper), to put all previews, cache , and media cache files on....AND to use as " global performance cache" for After Effects...if you use that program. Exporting can be done to ANOTHER Crucial M550 for best speed...or, just to the either the FIRST Crucial or, the 4TB drive. Your current GPU will accelerate exports on any video containing scaling and any GPU accelerated effects. Your CPU is STILL important in SERVING the data to and from the GPU AND for decoding and encoding non-GPU handled video....your high CPU clock speed helps performance there ! You may want to check out possibly overclocking your video card, using MSI Afterburner.or, similar free program. Increasing the "memory clock speed" can RAISE performance and cut export times on GPU effects loaded timelines,or, scaling operations. On my laptop, I export 25% faster doing this. With my NEW i7 4700 HQ laptop, I export in the range of your CURRENT machine....about 2 to 3 times the length of the original video. PROPERLY SET UP...your desktop machine should BLOW THIS AWAY !!
Visit the PPBM7 website and test your current setup to possibly identify current bottlenecks,or, performance issues. THEN, RE-TEST it again, after making improvements to your machine to see how it does. Be aware that new codecs are coming (H.265 and HEVC,etc.) which may demand more computer horsepower to edit, as they are even MORE compressed and engineered for "streaming" high quality at a lower bandwidth on the internet. The new Haswell E...with its quad-channel memory, 8 core option, large number of PCI gen. 3 lanes, goes farther in being prepared for 4K and more. Testing by Eric Bowen has shown the newer PPro versions provide MUCH better processing of 4K than older versions.

Help needed with Time Machine multiple drives set up

Hello, I need help in finding out if what I want to do is possible.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion today as I understood it can handle multiple back up drives. I see how to add a 2nd back up drive, however I do not see a way to put different folders onto different drives.
iMac - backed to a 3TB DRIVE A via the time machine
iPhoto Library original file - already on the 3TB DRIVE A - so no back up for now!
What I'd like to do is to also back up only the iPhotoLibrary file to a 2nd drive - lets call it 3TB DRIVE B
Can it be done with Mountain Lion or not really? I don't even seem to be able to exclude files from an External Disk actually.
Any other software I could use that would do the trick?
Or do I have to rearrange our already messy set up? I've put the iPhoto Library on the DRIVE A as its a faster drive. but I guess the solution would be to put the iPhoto Library original file onto the slower Drive B and only keep the iPhoto file on it?
Hmm any help or tips greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

So here's my question: After reinstalling system TM started normal back-up procedure and I get message not enough space on external disk. I use 200Gb for around 100Gb that I have on my computer (I know not so much but works well for me). What I do not get is why does TM need around 30% more space compared to the space I'm using (wants to back-up 130Gb) and why is it not backing-up the system I've just installed but tries to back-up everything from scratch? Is there a procedure to back-up only changed files since the last version?
Ordinarily, that's exactly what TM does. But this situation isn't ordinary. Everything you restored is considered "*new to that disk"* and will be backed-up again. See #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum, and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338
The 30% you ask about is actually 20%; the initial estimate of the space needed might be low, and TM needs workspace on the TM disk, so it adds 20% (see #7 in the FAQ Tip.)

Help NEEDED! External Hard Disk Drive Problem!

Dear Forum,
I am using MacBook with snow leopard and I am also using a WD Ext.HDD 500GB. Ok, I will described in detailed regarding what problem has occurred so that you guys can help me:D. Firstly, I formatted my wd hdd to hfs+j as the default format is NTFS. Then afterwards, I forgotten that hfs+j cannot support windows, thus I partition it to 2, with one hfs+j and one Fat32(formatted to ntfs when in windows), then I realised that my macbook don't have enough space, thus, I reformatted the whole hdd to one partition only, hfs+j. Now, the problem comes, when I formatted it to hfs+j, I found the free space not right, at default, the wd is 499.41GB(as seen on disk utility), but when I look at the hfs+j partition, the free space is only 499.06GB(as seen on disk utility with no files in it). Another thing, when I looked into the disk utility info of my hfs+j partition, there is 400+MB of hard disk space already taken. Then, I transferred one of my files(4.82GB) into my ext.hard disk, when the transfer is complete, I 'get info' my ext.hdd and found out that 5.26GB are taken up, but I have only transferred 4.82GB of files. So what is happening to my hard disk? Any ways to fix this problem guys?
I really need your help! I will appreciate greatly if you guys can help me, thanks!:D
Regards
Ala.

The odd 400MB is the hidden files put there by the system to define the file structure of the partition, plus other stuff like .Trash. It's perfectly normal and the HDD wouldn't be recognised if they weren't there.
You will see a similar situation with the internal boot drive if you compare the Drive size (leftmost item with the manufacturers designation) and that of Macintosh HD (which is the working partition). In my case this shows 640.14 GB for the drive, 639.79 GB for Macintosh HD, a difference of 350MB
This will be the same within about ± 50MB whatever drive you format in HFS+J, including pen drives.

IPhone 4 accessory help needed asap

Okay so here's the deal,
I used to have the first generation IPOD and I connected it to my after market DVD system that is in my car. I wouldn't be able to tell you the brand because there isnt one.
But the connection is two small USB connectors on one side and on the other the iPod charger connector.
Normally I plug my iPod in and go to the iPod menu in the system and then navigate through that to play the songs over my car speakers.
I have recently purchased an iPhone 4. And I am no longer able to do this.
I connect the accessory and it says this is not optimized for iPhone 4 you may experience some disruption in the background
I navigate the same way my play lists pop up and everything is the same but when I click it no sound comes out.
And when I navigate through the actual iPhone the sound comes out the iPhone even whilst still connected.
Is there anything I can do to make this accessory work??
Any settings I can change, any apps I can download.
Any advice would help.
Cheers in advanced.

unfortunately if its not working you need a update from apple or a update from the manufacturer there has been a lot of complaints about car stereos not working with the iPhone 4 and it def has something to do with the software that apple is shipping there is no magic application or magic setting that is going to change this sorry

HELP Needed ASAP! Curve Not Turning On, Red Flashing Lights!

Hi,
I have a Blackberry curve 8310. I plugged my curve into my mac to do a software update. Midway through, my phone shut off and hasn't worked since. The battery is fully charged. The phone is off and won't turn on. Additionally, there is a red LED light blinking twice every few seconds. I think I found an article on blackberry.com's knowledge database that diagnosed my issue, but my problem now is that because the curve isn't turning on/off, it's not connecting to my mac's desktop manager. So I can't do anything the article tells me to do. What should I do now? I need help ASAP!
Here's the link to the article: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB19915
Thanks in advanced!

Hello Asmro and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
It can take up to 30 minutes for the Mac to connect to the BlackBerry.
I would remove your battery and connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Once it comes up there is no software installed, re-insert the battery and follow the article KB19915.
Let me know how you make out.

1. Re-test your connection from JDev to AS and it must success.
I suggest to create a new OC4J instance on AS and fill
the instance name on the dialog window while
creating AS Connection on JDev. i.e OC4J instance name (optional)
2. For JDev 9.0.5.x/10.1.2 using AS 9.0.4,
don't forget to install ADF Runtime Libraries on AS.
3. Make sure your AS support JDK/J2SE version as in JDev.
JDev 10.1.2 need AS to use JDK version 1.4.2_04-b05.
You can download it from http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_04/index.html
and install it.

Help needed with Copying DVD error in Toast Titanium 6

(I tried to post to Roxio forum but couldn't get registered) ... hope someone can help
I made an iDVD of a school event (Métis Gathering) and burned it to DVD through the iDVD program (iDVD 6)
I used Toast (6.0.3) to make 8 copies of the dvd.
Now I need to make more copies, but Toast never finishes the 'recording' (copying) session ... it gives me "couldn't complete the last command: I/O error, result code -36."
I'm using the original DVD, which was only played once and I've kept it as a master .... I don't see any scratches or anything on it.
What's happening? What can I do?
Any help is appreciated, thank you
Eliz
iMac 17", Intel Core Duo , 512 Ram, 160 GB Mac OS X (10.4.6)

With the luxury of two internal burners, I've never
used Toast that way.
I find it a luxury just to have a dvd burner!!
Any way, back to the saga .... I tried the same original master dvd at home again, no copying possible, so setting the speed wasn't a factor
So, I put in the copy I made at school .... I made a disk image with disc utility, then burned the image ... at a slower speed ... with toast. Seems fine. I'm going to save the disc image as a data dvd to use as the future master, no more copying with toast for me!
Since I've managed to overcome this little problem using a second computer (the luxury of which I won't have, come July), i think I'm okay ... just need to remember to try a slower burn speed from the start next time ...
But, why wouldn't it read the dvd? almost like it had a shelf life or something
Thank you for your help
Eliz
