How to get Lion on DVD

for the remote chance my machine will crash, be undable to download another version of the OS, how do I get Lion on DVD

You didn't say if you have a new machine that had Lion already installed. Apple will not be issuing a Lion DVD, but they do offer a Lion thumb drive available from the Apple store for $69.00. If you purchased and downloaded it from the Apple store, you can download it again at no charge (you also didn't tell us if you mean a defunct hard drive, or an inability to boot up). If you mean a hard drive problem, you will have to replace the drive and install SL 10.6.8 (I believe that you need that installed in order to install Lion) before doing anything else. Then, if you purchased from the Apple store, you can return there, go to the Lion page, option click on the "purchases" tag (it will turn blue) and it will bring you to the page that lists your purchases. Lion will be there, and you should be able to install it from there.
On the other hand, if you have Lion on your machine now, you can make a bootable DVD or flash drive from it. Rather than trying to explain the process here, I recommend that you go to: http://www.macworld.com where you will find articles on how to make the bootable DVD or flash drive.
I hope this helps.

How to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard???

How do I get rid of Lion and go back to Snow Leopard PERMANENTLY?
I am not techno.
I need simple instructions with plain descriptions. I do not have any discs. The iMac came with Snow Leopard and I loaded NOTHING.
I should never have bought Lion. It is awful.
Please someone tell me how to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard.

Can I use time machine to restart the machine before the fateful day when I bought and installed Lion?
Yes, if you have a pre-Lion backup, but you need an installation disc.
Is there anything else I can do? more RAM?
I don't know how much RAM you have. It must be at least 2 GB, or Lion wouldn't have installed. If that's all you have, you might get better performance by adding more. But from your description, I doubt that your problem is due entirely, if at all, to a lack of RAM. If you want to troubleshoot the problem, it will take some patience and effort, and you'll need to be in a calm frame of mind.

How to get iMovie onto dvd to play on dvd or computer with a Mac Book Pro 2011

I am new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro with Lion OS 10.7.3 I purchased it mainly to for work but also to make small movies of my baby to send on DVD to family interstate. I am now struggling to work out how to get the movie onto a DVD. Surely there is capability with the technology I have.
Thanks

When you say above that iDVD will be updated to the latest version by Apple....how is that true since Apple no longer supports iDVD?
Apple does support iDVD. Software update will update the latest version of iDVD automatically. (Incidentally, software update will also update iMovie 06.) For the best quality, I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.
Apple only sells iDVD on disk as part of iLife 11.
Various resellers continue to get fresh inventory of iLife 11 on disk (with iDVD) from Apple.
I received an update to iDVD only a few months ago (after the release of lion).
Apple supports iDVD on this forum. Further, iDVD is still supported in Apple stores.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/idvd
IDVD remains a popular application in the Apple community. For a variety of obvious reasons Apple would prefer your movies to be stored on the cloud. Many people however prefer to have a physical copy, that they can possess, that is easily playable on over 700 million DVD players worldwide.
I will occasionally put a movie I have made on the web. My friends and relatives will rarely watch it. On the other hand, if I mail them a DVD they ALWAYS watch it

How to get slideshow on dvd for tv

I have a slideshow in iPhoto, also have it as a project in iMovie, and cannot get it onto DVD to view on tv from either place. Cannot find iDVD on the system, although I can select from iMovie to have share it with iDVD. It processes it, which takes about 3 minutes, but never opens into iDVD so I can burn it. I've tried it from finder, and it burns it but won't work on tv dvd player. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi
If this is a New Mac - then there is no iDVD on it - even as iMovie think so.
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.

IBook Author for 10.6 or how I get Lion 10.7

If the latest version of that app needs 10.7 or greater you need to first install 10.7 whcih you can get from the appstore.

How to get Original OS DVD That Came With MacBook Pro

Hi,
I bought this MacBook Pro last year - I think I did not get a restore DVD with the OS etc. with it. Is there a way for me to get it from Apple?
Thanks,
Apurva

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

How to get video from DVD into FCE?

Hi,
I have a DVD which I got from a childhood friend. The DVD contains a compilation of old film clips (her family had old super 8 movies transferred to DVD). I'm trying to import the clip (it's one long video clip, 30 mins long) into FCE for editing. But, when I try to import, all I see on the DVD is one file folder labeled VIDEO_TS; this folder contains eight files with strange suffixes, such as .IFO, .VOB, and .BUP, none of which are accessible. Anyone have any idea how I can get the files into Final Cut Express?
I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Vic

Hi again, Martin. I did the 'conversion', and it appeared something was happening (i.e. a 'progress bar' showed that something was going on, and it took about 20 mins or so. So, I figured it was doing the conversion. Once done, a 'play' button appeared, but when I pressed it, nothing happened. Does that sound like I'm missing the MPEG2 Playback Component?
Note: I noticed during the conversion an indication that the file, about 2 gigs seemed to be being created, but for the life of me, I don't know where the file went (i.e. I don't know where (or even if) it was stored on my computer). Anyways, the process seems not to have worked. I guess, as you said, I'll need to purchase the Playback Component?
Thanks for your help.

How to get rid of DVD interlace?

I encoded my source file in adobe media encoder. It is progressive 23.87 mpeg2-DVD and looks great on the computer but after Encore authors it to DVD, I put it in my DVD player and it looks interlaced with jagged edges especially with movement. It's not horrendous but I would like to get rid of the interlacing probelms if I can. I already tried and used media encoder to make my source file interlaced at 29.97 but once through encore it looked worse.
I know that NTSC DVD's are 29.97 interlaced but professional DVD's do not have the interlace issues that I am having. How do I get rid of the interlacing? I have already changed my transcode settings and quality presets. I did one for 23.97 progressive and the other for 29.97 interlaced lower field both with matching export source files. What can I do to maintain a quality image and get rid of the interlacing?

Try this:
Select a Widescreen MPEG2 DVD preset in the AME.
Make sure to select Maximum Render Quality in the Video tab settings
Import the M2V and WAV files as a timeline into a new En project.
Make sure the Project panel shows the M2V file as "Don't Transcode"
Author and burn a disc and test in a hardware DVD player.
If the resulting video has any blocking artifacts they can be fixed with bit rate adjustments. You're looking for jaggies and/or combing artifacts. Hopefully there won't be any.
Also make sure that your playback pipeline is appropriate for DVD -- either test on a SD CRT or make sure your DVD/BD player or HDTV has acceptable upscaling quality. If the player or the TV don't upscale well, then nothing you can do will fix that.

How to get Lion to recognize my SSD?

I have a new iMac with both a 250GB solid-state disk and a 2TB hard disk. When I tried to replicate my Powerbook on the iMac, Migration Assistant just looked at the SSD and said there wasn't enough room, not realizing there was a 2TB disk as well. So I migrated my applications and settings to the SSD and then did a straight copy (using the Powerbook as a target disk for the iMac) of my Documents folder. But now I'm having problems (such as an empty desktop, which is the subject of my other post this morning). I now think I know why: Lion says my startup disk is the 2TB hard disk. When I go to Startup Disk system settings, Lion doesn't recognize the existence of the SSD. So two questions:
1. How do I tell Lion there's an SSD?
2. Failing that, is there any to tell Migration assistant to use the 2TB hard disk for everything, not the SSD (because, sigh, Migration Assistant doesn't recognize the existence of the 2TB hard disk)?

If I were you, I would open a service request with Apple regarding this problem. You are permitted 90 days of free tech support for new Macs, if I recall correctly, so why not use it?

How to get a mini-dvd out of drive

I'm sure this has been asked dozens of times, but I can't find it on here---maybe someone can point me in the right direction. My kids put a mini-dvd from our camcorder into our slot-loading drive. I know this is a big no no, but is there any good way to get it out? Thanks.

The best you can hope for is to try and shake the disc out of the optical drive, but it's not likely to work. You'll need to take the computer in for service in order to get the disc safely removed.

How to get a bootable DVD/CD on a uefi pc

Hi,
I am using a laptop with uefi firmware. It has also rEFInd installed and working.
I downloaded the Achboot the archlinux-2014.11.01-archboot.iso and burned it after checking md5sum.
Unfortunately I cannot boot it.
Did I miss something?
Last edited by jaaf (2014-12-01 18:45:26)

I know this is not the answer to your question, but my first UEFI laptop just would not boot from a CD/DVD in UEFI mode. I had to burn a USB stick. I never got it to boot from CD/DVD and never figured out why.
If you figure it out, I'd love to know how you did it!
(FWIW: That was an Acer i7, bought new in December 2012. There was a firmware update that came out about 6 months after I bought it, and I updated to the new firmware-- but never tried booting a CD/DVD with the new firmware. Maybe it would have worked? Do you have a firmware upgrade for your machine and are willing to try that route?)

How to get Lion

Hallo!
I have a macbook Pro with Mac Os X 10.5.8. I want to install de nieuw Lion. My question is: wat is beter to buy the snow leopard en then the Lio via de APP or to buy the lion directly in the USB model?

You have to have Snow Leopard installed in order to download Lion whether from the App Store or the USB thumb drive.
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements ...
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space

How to get Lion 10.7 on a new Mac Pro 6,1 (Early 2013)?

Hi everyone,
I'm considering an upgrade to the new Mac Pro (6,1 -- Late 2013, i.e. trash can Mac). It's a huge expense and pivot in terms of hardware and workflow for me. But one thing I'm trying to exclude from the equation is having to upgrade my OS. I have a lot of third party software that I'm afraid will bug out on 10.9 (or 10.10 depending on when I purchase this). I've been humming on Lion 10.7.5 for some time and would like to keep it that way.
I had the thought of running my Boot Disk to a Bootable backup drive via something like Carbon Copy Cloner. Then, upon purchase of the new system, boot from that external drive, re-partition the internal SSD on the Mac Pro, and run that boot disk back over to the SSD. Any reason why this would not work in any one's opinion? Has anyone actually tried this yet?
Thanks all!
-JD

Actually just had a thought. Prior to purchasing a new Mac Pro, what if I backed up my Lion 10.7.5 boot, then upgraded my current boot to Mavericks. Then upon purchasing the new Mac Pro with Mavericks already on it I could just do what I previously mentioned --- run the boot over to the SSD. Then I don't have to re-install any software.
Thoughts?
You won't be able to boot Lion on a new Mac Pro.
If you migrate your info from the old computer, it will not take the OS stuff.
