How far do you have to sticka CD or DVD into the slot drive?

I literally have to stick the entire CD or DVD into the slot before it picks it up. Even if I just stick it in after 85% of the disk is in the slot, it'll take it and get stuck with some of the disk outside. Is this normal? Should I take it to a genius bar?
White MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I don't have a Macbook, but in both of my iMac's and iBooks I have to put it in almost all the way to get it to take the disc. If I try to insert the disc too slow, they tend to not get read and just spin until I eject and re-insert them a little quicker.
Interestingly my G3 iMac was not this finicky. It would take the disc after about 50% insertion, and as far as I know ws the last slot load Mac that could safely accept mini disc,... I wish they would re-add that capability.

Do you have to use Compressor with DVD Studio Pro?

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to streamline bringing QuickTime Movies made in FCP6 into DVDSP.
When I try to import QT Movies or movies compressed with H.264 into DVD Studio Pro, I get the error message: "Incompatible Format".
Is there anyway to get QT Movies into DVDSP successfully without using Compressor?
The least applications I have my students using for this, the better.
It's odd to me because you can go directly from QT Movie into iDVD with no such problems.
Thanks,
Marc Griffin

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the quick response. The rationale of our workflow is to avoid using Compressor to simplify the process for our students making DVDs. But if we are going to have to use Compressor to change the frame rate, as you suggested, then we're just going to have to live with using the application.
We'd consider burning High Def DVDs, but with the format war between BluRay and HDDVD, and a general lack of High Def players and Monitors on the general marketplace, we are going to have to stick with SD DVDs for the time being.
Resultantly, we're going to be stuck with using Compressor in our DVD burning workflow.
Thanks Everyone For Your Help!

How do i remove a mini cd from the slot drive in mac book pro?, how do i remove a mini cd from the slot drive in mac book pro?

Tilt the MBP up, slot facing down and see if the cd slides out.
You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it removed.

I was just wondering how old do you have to be to finance a macbook pro

hi i was just wondering how old do you have to be to finance a macbook pro, im in high school and i im always doing projects with my friend, and since im always at their house i wanted to get a macbook so i can bring what i wroute and others stuff to their house. Also how much money would it cost to finance it.

Forget about financing a Mac.
If you can't afford to pay big boy cash up front + AppleCare + tax + backup drives + third party software + OS X annual upgrades + annual third party software upgrades + case + adapters + this and that... etc.
Then you really shouldn't be getting one because money is already too tight for you and there is a lot of other costs besides the sticker price that can even exceed the sticker price.
I've paid over $10,000 over 10 years for Mac's and associated software and hardware.
My Windows XP Dell Tower using friend used the same $600 machine over that same time frame, perhaps to $1000, paid for a few changes, RAM upgrades etc., but nothing even close to what I have spent on Mac's.
Mac's are for the rich.
A Windows 7 laptop will do you just fine for $400 at any office store and perform just the same as a 13" MacBookPro costing $1500 + $400 in AppleCare and Tax, they are almost idential performance wise except for the name and the case.
If you want to 3D game, get a $250 PlayStation 3 or Xbox. Boom your done for under $1000
If you finance, then your looking at spending $3000 for a $1500 computer that can be lost or stolen, some jerk spills a liquid on the keyboard and fries it in seconds.
You still have to pay off the $3000 loan.

How do you set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information?

Hi
I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.

The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

If you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

if you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

Full price. Warranty covers only manufacturing defects, not you losing the iPod.
Perhaps homeowners insurance of your credit card plan, if you used a credit card to purchase the original iPod, might cover all or part of the cost.
Regards.

I really think that Notes should tell you on it's home screen how many notes you have.

tonight i logged into iCloud on my PC laptop. I could not find a note. So i went to my iPhone 5s and i found my note using the simple search. And as soon as i tapped into it on my iPhone, it suddenly showed up on my laptop.
I really think that Notes should tell you on it's home screen (both on the iphone and on a computer of any kind) how many notes you have so you know if they are not syncing correctly, and if notes are being lost.
Also, there should be a way to download all the notes via any computer to a directory full of simple text files for the exact number of notes you have.
I have 42 notes. then I should be able to download all 42 into their own separate text files. Make the filename of the text file the first line of the Note, just like it shows up on the iDevice.
And finally, is there a character/size limit to the Note?
Thank you!

What is "other" known for in how much space you have left?

What is "other" known for in the bar at the bottom where it shows how much space you have left?

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

How do you tell how much more you have to download

how do you tell how much more you have to download

You have not said whether you are talking about a web browser, the Mac App Store, or other download utility. Generally, whichever window or tab in the program shows you the download progress will also tell you how much is left along with a time estimate. Are you talking about downloading a different way?

HT5429 How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps?

How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps? The street I live on is misspelled. It's shown as one word, but it should be two words. Maps cannot find the address when it is spelled correctly, so I have it purposely misspelled it as one word in my contacts, which helps for the most part, however it still tries to place my home on an entirely different street all together. Fortunately this new random street is at least close to where I live. When I used to spell my street correctly with two words, maps would try to send me to the next town over. So it kind of works, as long as I misspell my street, and ignore the fact that it is showing where I live to be a couple of streets down from where I actually live. I live in Connecticut - not in the most populated of areas, but not in the middle of nowhere either. Amazingly enough Google Maps will correctly find my address whether it's spelled with one words or two words. Google Maps also shows my apartment complex, which Apple Maps does not. I really wish Apple would just do a quick pass of the area to fix these issues. I’ve reported the problem several times, months ago. How long will it take for there to be a fix? I keep trying to use the Apple ecosystem, but Google is clearly the better solution for me.

Apple does not do the GIS data for maps. That comes from 3rd party vendors like Tom Tom. I have read it takes some time to update map data. The only thing you can do is report it.
Not to belittle your complaint, but on my end it is Apple that is clearly better. When looking at my house in Google, the satellite photo is more than 4 years old, and the Apple one is much newer. I can tell because of the condition of my home and the neighbor's. They had an above ground pool which was removed 4 years ago and it shows on the Google Map. I had remodeling and roof work done to my home that started 3 years ago and Apple's satellite view showed this work done, which took over a year to complete. I live in the middle of a block in a rural town. Both Apple and Google split the block into 100 parts and put my home close to the beginning of the block instead of where it actually sits. I've reported it to both Google and Apple and no one has changed. Just one of those things. But, keep your chin up, it will get corrected eventually.
