How do I convert MPG to a file that I can use in iMovie?

I have read a lot of ideas on here and some of them are beyond my knowledge of how to get it done. I don't want to have to buy a converter as I have seen this converter is built into Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do you mean MP3?
If so try importing the file into iTunes or Garageband.
If you go to iMovie help and type in "add a sound clip" there are steps to do this

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail. Word worked in nothing. I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

I had iwork 08 installed on my Mac. Now that I have upgraded, none of my documents or spreadsheets work with Maverick. How do I convert to iwork 09 so that I can open these files?

How do I convert my files to iWork 09 so that I can open my files in Maverick?

You simply open the old files in the newer versions of iWork that work with Mavericks and the iApps should automatically convert the old file format to the new one.. but once that's done there's no going back to the old iApp version with your docs.

How to make a simple program in numbers that i can use on my iphone

how can i make a touchable program in numbers that i can trasfer to my iphone and use out in the field of work? i am pretty good at excel sheets,but am still new with my macbook.

Excel can't make an iPhone application, it can only make a spreadsheet. You would need an iPhone app capable of reading a spreadsheet produced by Excel.

How do I create a library of quotations that I can use in any Pages document

I live in France and write letters to different people. Unlike a simple "Sincerely" or "Best Regards" sign-off in US letters, French etiquette uses a number of "Formules de Politesses" to sign-off a letter.
According to one's position in regards to the person written to the formula can appreciative, demanding, unsatisfied, "threatening", etc.
In order to avoid retyping such formulas I'd like to save them in a Library and punch them into a letter as needed.
This was an option in ClarisWorks and perhaps AppleWorks but I can't figure out how to do it in Pages.
Any suggestions?

Create a series of shortcut expressions such as <a>, <d>, <u>, <t> etc and then make auto-substitution in:
Menu > Pages > Preferences > Auto-Correction > Symbol and text substitution

How do I cancel one itunes account so that I can use the email address from that account on my current account?

I have had my itunes account connected to my work email address for the past few years. I am now changing jobs and I am trying to change the email account connected to my itunes account. When I entered my personal email account it says there was already an account associated with that email address but I've never used it for anything since I created it a long time ago. Is there a way to cancel that account so that my personal email address is free to use on my current account that I currently have linked to my work email address?

Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.

How should I set up my VI so that I can use the linear fit coefficient data analysis program, when my values are coming from while loops within a sequence structure?

I'm attempting to create a calibration program, using the printer port, and a Vernier Serial Box by modifying a calibration program designed for the serial box.
There are six calibration points, and to collect them, I have it controlled by while loops so that the numbers are taken when a button is pushed, and this is inside a sequence structure so that I can get the six different points. I feed these numbers into two different arrays (for x and y values) and then try to use the linear coefficient analysis on these points, but the values for the slope and intercepts it returns are not correc
t.
If I cut out the array and coefficient analysis, and feed the same numbers in directly without the while loop and sequence structures, it produces the proper values... I don't know why the numbers it is producing are different, and I'd really like to know.
Thanks,
Karinne.

I would use a data manager sub-vi that would be called by each from of the sequence structure that produced a data point. The data manager sub-vi could auto append new items or could place items in a specific entry of an array. Later on when you want to calculate the linear fit, call the sub-vi to return the array of values.
