How do you save homemade DVD to your hard drive?

I just had a friend give me a burned DVD of video he took of an event. I want to share it on facebook, but I have to find a way to get it saved on my lap top first. I downloaded Xilisoft to do this, but it's still not working (even though the program said my info was successfully copied). What am I doing wrong? Help!

Hi,
The best option is to pull the card out and plug to your computer UNLESS your computer does not have a card reader. If your computer did not have a card reader, you need to map the cardreader on your printer to your network using the following method:

Help !!!!!! How do you save a copy of your Zen player's content before formatti

How do you Save a copy of your Zen player's content before formatting? I have no clue how? I don't want to go through the trouble of re-downloading everything back to my player? Someone Please Help me!!!

If you reformat the player you'll be erasing all the flash memory. There is no way to avoid re-downloading your content since it isn't going to reappear by magic.
Normally the PC you use as your primary media library has a copy of all your ripped/downloaded stuff already. I don't see why you're opposed to syncing it back to the player after you reformatting. ?Regardless, if the player isn't frozen or otherwise misbehaving you should be able to drag-and-drop copy to contents to a handy PC with enough space. If you have DRM-controlled content at minimum you'll have to re-sync the associated licenses to make them play again once you copy them back since you can't retrieve the DRM keys off the player. It probably won't prevent you from copying the encrypted files themselves although it may; DRM systems almost uni'versally support a "No Copy" flag for content on the player to prevent copying it back the rights holder chooses to flag the content that way.
If you're just updating the firmware of the player the contents are unlikely to be damaged in the process (but it is always good to have a backup just in case).
If your player isn't misbehaving one is left wondering why are you want to reformat it's Doing a "clean up" will often fix most issues of corrupted files and mangled metadata.

How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.

How do i download a dvd to my hard drive

please guide me through the steps on what to do thanks

Not too sure what you are after here?
A. You have found an image of a DVD on the web and you want to download it.
B. You have a DVD and you want to copy the contents onto your Hard Drive
C. You have a DVD Movie that you want to rip for archive purposes on your HDD
D. You want to copy a DVD Movie and encode it in a compressed format that OS X can read?
E. You want to copy the holiday video from a DVD Movie you made so you can edit it and make another home movie out of it.
Options C and D come under the Millennium Copyright Act and this being a US website they probably don't want the discussion to occur here.
For Option E. - In general most Mac Users look at Handbrake and MactheRipper for getting video out a DVD Video formatted disk.

How do you airplay a dvd on your imac to appletv

I have an apple Tv and want to know how I can watch a DVD from my IMAC to Apple TV to watch on my bis screen TV. Is this possible?

AFAICT, iDVD 7.1.2 should be on your machine. If not, reinstall the OS or use Pacifist to extract it from your install disc.

Copy /Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library to your external drive. Delete the one on your internal drive. Now create an alias to the iPhoto Library's new location and put the alias in the original location. Be sure the alias is named "iPhoto Library".

Is it possible to burn a DVD to your hard drive?

If so, how would I go about doing that? Would I need special software? I want to burn an unprotected DVD (my own) and edit it in imovie. Is this possible?

You can take an exact image (.dmg) of the disc using the disc utility found in your utilities folder.
you can also get the largest sized .vob file in your video ts folder of the mentioned dvd and move to your hard disk . and use ffmpegx a completely freeware program to encode the video file into the format of your choice eg. .mp4 .mov .avi etc etc It will be easier to edit that way
you can get ffmpegx here : http://ffmpegX.com
hope this helps

?: How do you move files to an external hard drive

Hello everyone,
I have a 2009 MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5
I am starting to run out of internal HD space as my images in Photoshop are very large (over 1 GB ea.)
I currently use an external hard drive for Time Machine but would like to use a different external hard drive just to have my photo images on it.
Im assuming that i would purchase another external hard drive formatted for mac, plug it into my MBP and simply drag my image files from my MBP onto the external hard drive icon. After that just delete the images from my MBP HD. Is that all there is to it?
I wasnt sure if there was a step in there where you have to tell your MBP that the new external hard drive is NOT for Time Machine, but is simply to transfer image files onto (?)
Please let me know if this is how it works and how to do this.
best to you all and thanks so much for your help
take care,
rick

Rick,
the “EDIT” note in my last response was an “oh yeah, I should mention this” moment that I’d had after initially responding with my single “yup” sentence. You had mentioned that you were already using Time Machine to back up your internal hard drive to an external hard drive. I’d wanted to clarify that your new external hard disk should not be simultaneously used as a Time Machine backup drive; it should be treated just like your internal hard disk, in that it gets backed up by Time Machine (a “source” drive) rather than receives Time Machine backups (a “destination” drive), which your current external hard drive already does.
As far as my recommendations, I’ve had good results with the Hitachi hard drive series with five-year warranties. I’m currently using a Samsung 840 PRO SSD as my internal disk; so far, so good, but I don’t have long-term experience with it yet. (The 840 PRO has a five-year warranty also. As you can tell, I prefer drives with long warranties.) Since you have a 2009 MacBook Pro, getting your new drive in an external enclosure with a FireWire 800 port (and getting a FireWire 800 cable for it, of course) will allow the best performance when reading from or writing to it. Since it will be holding large images, performance will probably be an important criterion for you.
To set up your new external drive to be backed up by Time Machine, plug it in to your MacBook Pro, open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences, unlock the lock in the lower left corner if it shows a locked padlock, press the “Options…” button in the lower right corner, and make sure that your new external drive is not in the list of drives excluded from being backed up. If it’s not there, then you should be good. If it is there, then you’ll need to select it and press the “-” button to “subtract” it from the list of excluded drives.

How do you start up from an external hard drive

I read the one post about this but i was un clear. Im trying to find out how to do this for my friend with a G3 that is no longer working. They have an external hard drive that is firewire and the newest version of tiger. So if someone could give me a step by step guide how to install tiger on the external hard drive and then run it that way, that would be great. Thanks to anyone who answers and helps.

I was fooling around with my iBook and an external harddrive where I used CarbonCloner to clone my system. When that was done I found this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459
Here it says I should:
Press Option-Command-Shift-Delete during startup
Bypass primary startup volume and seek a different startup volume (such as a CD or external disk)
I tried this and my iBook started up from my external harddrive....I think.....i actually couldn't tell the difference by looking at the desktop, everything seemed exactly the same, I guess because I booted from a cloned system....but when I used the keyboard sequence above, I noticed my external harddrive spinning and thought it was doing the work to start up my computer.
I don't think starting your computer using Target disc mode is right for you....

How do you transfer music from an external hard drive into iTunes on a mac, but not write the music into the mac's internal hard drive?

I am trying to load an external library with about 700 gigs of music into iTunes on my mac, but of course my mac's inter hard drive is much less than that. Is there a way I can load the music onto iTunes without importing it into my computer? I use this hard drive for DJing so it is plugged in the majority of the time. I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro.

Do you use both the internal and external drives for storing music or just the external drive? If both, hold down the option key while dragging media to iTunes to get it to leave the media where it is and add the track location information to iTunes. A better solution would be to relocate the entire iTunes library to the external drive and run it all from one place. This will also make it easier to make backups of the library as you should since you are using this in a professional capacity and your livelihood depends upon it. We can provide advice on how to do this once we know more about your setup (is there an existing library already, and where?)

How do I copy a dvd to my hard drive?

I have a short dvd that I would like to save to my computer. I think I have copied it but cannot play it. I am asked what program I want to open it with. The program suggested costs $50. I want to be sure that's it before I purchase.

Put the DVD in your Superdrive, if it starts to play, stop it. Launch Disk Utility, click the "New Image" button, select your DVD, chose DVD/CD master, name it & save to your desktop.
