How to import from a disk that is a cd/dvd combo

I have a cd that is a cd/dvd combo. I am trying to import only the audio portion of the cd but am not able to. Itunes will not recognize the audio portion of it. Windows media player will only play the dvd portion.

Look on the disc's case, on the back. See if it has any wording about copy-protection. Some of those combo deals are set up so you can't rip them. In which case I would return it to the store and let the artist/label company know you aren't happy with not being able to put it on an ipod.
I had one of those a few years back and I couldn't get my XP machine to rip it, but it worked OK on a Mac.

  • How do I repair a disk that's OK?

    I'm trying to do a remote install, and it fails, telling me that the Macintosh HD needs to be repaired. But when I verify the HD, Disk Utility tells me that the disk is OK. How do I repair a disk that's OK?
    Here's the context. I want to install Lion on a MacBook Pro (“MBP”) that’s currently running Leopard. Apple says to install Snow Leopard and then get Lion from the App Store. So I bought a Snow Leopard install disk and thereby discovered that my MBP’s SuperDrive is no longer working. Had I known, I could instead have bought Lion on a flash drive, but I’ve already paid for the install disk. I’ve also got an eMac running Leopard, but I don’t have a FireWire 6-pin to 6-pin cable, so can’t use target disk mode. So I’m trying a remote install.
    To remote install, I put the DVD into the eMac and turn on DVD Sharing. Back on the MBP, I use Terminal to enable ODS:
    $ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
    $ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
    and reboot, and now I get a Remote Disc in the MBP’s Finder Sidebar Devices. I select the Remote Disc and the eMac shows up in the Finder window. I double click the eMac icon, and the remote Mac OS X Install DVD opens in the Finder window. I double click the installer and it starts running, so I’ve succeeded in starting a remote install. The problem is that the installer quickly fails with this message:
    The disk “Macintosh HD” needs to be repaired.
    Go to the computer with the Mac OS X Install DVD, open Remote Install Mac OS X (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder) and follow the onscreen instructions for restarting your computer using the DVD.
    When the Mac OS X Installer opens, follow the onscreen instructions to install Mac OS X. During installation, the Installer repairs the disk automatically.
    I think what it’s suggesting is that I boot my MBP from the remote disk. (Right?) I think that won’t work for me because I’ve got a MacBook Pro rather than a MacBook Air or Mac Mini, which are the only types that can boot from a remote disk. (Right?) Instead I thought I’d do whatever repair is necessary to the MBP’s Macintosh HD and then try the remote install again. So I ran Disk Utility on the MBP to verify the Macintosh HD, but it succeeds with “The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.”
    I can’t remote install until the disk is repaired. But how can I repair a non-existent problem?

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

  • Import from a camera that contains mts files

    what is the required file structure for FCE to import from a camera that contains mts files

    The file structure is provided/created automatically by the camera....
    So if you still have the original structure, then you should be fine, but you may need to install software for log and transfer from the camera manufacturer...
    If you just have the individual mts file, you are SOL as far as log and transfer goes. In that case you need to purchase ClipWrap2 to convert to Pro Res....
    Not sure how this all works with FC Express though...

  • How to Import from an external HD to LightRoom.

    I am brand new to Creative Cloud and to LightRoom. I have read and listened to importing from a memory card but am unsure as to how to import from the backup drive from my older Mac Pro to my new iMac. The external drive is already the backup for the new iMac, is plugged in and working. I can see the HDD in the LR panel and can find the "pictures" folder within the dropdown. I am not sure if the "pictures folder (on the lefthand panel) is the old b/u or the iMac HDD. I can get to where I need to be if I can figure out what I'm looking at and what I should look for as to the 2 HDD's, b/u and/or iMac. I am aware of the righthand panel but the interactions are totally unfamiliar to me. Thanks for any help and advice. TCrowe

    If you are importing from a hard drive then you don't need to worry about the right-hand panel in the import dialog. You would locate the folder that you want to import in the left-hand panel. At the top of the import screen you would choose the "Add" option. This will add those images to your catalog without having to move them anywhere. If you want to place copies on a different hard drive then you would choose the Copy option at the top of the import screen. Then the right-hand panel will enable you to specify where you want the copies to be placed.

  • After "upgrade" to new firefox, bookmarks didn't transfer. Help tells how to import from another browser but not old firefox. Also my anti virus (latest update) apparently not compatible with 4.0 Can I restore my old version

    Question
    After "upgrading" to new firefox none of my bookmarks are in new bookmarks help topics tell me how to import from another browser but not from previous version of firefox. Another problem is my anti virus ( most up to date) is apparently not compatible with 4.0 liked the old firefox would never have "upgraded" had I known my anti virus wouldn't work. Can I get old version back

    Check with Kaspersky as to what versions of Firefox their programs are compatible with. It is up to Kaspersky to keep their stuff up to date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. And if they are unwilling or incapable of doing it, they should inform their customers of such and maybe refund their customers instead of stringing them along.

  • How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

    How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge?  I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge.  I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

    JohnM.
    I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR  read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4?  I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck.  It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files.  thanks gain.

  • How do import from iphoto backup disk

    My wife cleaned out her iPhoto library the wrong way. She deleted from the albums and said photos are still in the photo library. I made disk backups from Share/Burn for her current albums. I started a new library but can’t fine how to import them back with the same  albums she had them set up as. I can import as Event names only.
    Any Idea?

    You can do this from within iMovie.  In the content library at bottom left of the iMovie window there should be an iPhoto icon.  if you click on it you can select the pics you want.

    What can I do to eject a disk, that won't eject. from my iBook G4?

    If it is trying to eject and won't it may be that the slot opening

  • How to import from old address book?

    Hi all, I've searched the net about my problem but with no result.
    I have an old mac (a G3 iMac running 10.3.9) with a lot of contacts on its Address Book, and I do mean a lot. The computer is completely dead, but I have a copy of the contents of its internal hard disk on a new mac running Lion. My problem is importing the old contacts into the new Address Book. The file formats have changed and the old files can't be imported into the new application, they are not even recognized as addressbook files. Obviously I can't export from the old system since it's not running. The old AddressBook.data file is a terrible junk of names, addresses, telephone numbers and everything else organized in an incomprehensible way (I can't just manually copy the addresses from the file). Does anyone know how to import those contacts into the new format? Otherwise, I'll have to find somebody who owns an old system with an old Address Book application so that I can export the files from there. Thanks a lot

    As it's been 3 months, you probably have resolved this by now, but I had a similar problem today and resolved it with help from a tech at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store.
    If you ever backed up your "Library" folder from your old Mac, it contains the "Application Support" folder which in turn contains the "Address Book" folder.
    On your new iMac, running Lion:
    1)open Finder
    2)select "Go" on the menu
    3)with the "Go" window open, press and hold down the "Option" key on your keybord. Doing this will expose the hidden "Library" folder.
    4) in the Library folder you will find "Application Support"
    5) in the "Application Support" folder, you will find the "Address Book" folder
    6) assuming you have the old "Address Book" folder from within the backed-up "Library Folder" from you old iMac, delete the "Address Book" folder on your new iMac and copy your old backed-up Address Book folder to the "Application Support" folder in its place.
    7) Open the Address Book application and you should see your contact records. 
    I just finished doing this and it worked for me.
    Cheers

  • I am copying audiobooks on CD to the iTunes, so that I can send them to my iPod, however I do not know how to keep all the disks that comprise a book ( sometimes up to 18 disks ) organized so that they are recognized as part of abook and played in sequenc

    I guess I asked the question in the title, anyway one more time:I am copying audiobooks on multiple CDs to Itunes so that I can sync them to an Ipod and listen to them, how do I keep the multiple disks inone folder under one book title and how do I keep the tracks from intermingling with the tracks from another disk?  EXAMPLE: I just downloaded one book, consisting of three CDs and I see the Track o1 information from each CD in sequence followed by three Track 02, instead of all tarcks from the first CD followed by the tracks of the next CD etc.

    Thank you, I read that lengthy procedure before I asked the question.
    I have no way of following all of those steps successfully since I am about butterfingered a sthe last dinosaur and will make every  mistake in the world and get frustrated with  something that SHOULD be simple.
    I have the three disk autobook showing in iTunes library as one title , I had to  enter the dat amyself since it was not listed on the internet data base, All entries for all tracks match and I have indicated  the disk number  as  one, two or three of three as indicated.
    Yet when I sync the iTunes to the iPod I am being presented with each individual track listed in the Audiobook Menu.
    I am using the latest version of iTunes and a iPod Classic 160G-- that I purchased three days ago purposefully for the converting of the audiobooks to a portable device since the Library of Congress  ( NLS BARD ) books are formatted differently and the player is bulky.
    Does anybody hav eany other ideas?
    Does anybody have an e-mail address for Apple,  preferably iTunes folks?
    This is a handicap accessability problem since my wife cannot see and depends on these audio books.
    Obviously I will try that link to that Chapter and Verse site and see what I can do.
    Thank you for your quick response

  • Importing From Finalized Disk to imovie!!!Need Help Fast!!

    Reader-
    I shot a video for my friend for his project, and I need to edit it. My Sony Handycam that uses mini DVD disks cannot import to my computer according to Sony Tech Support. The man on Sony Support told me to contact Macintosh and ask them how to convert a .VOB file into a different kind of file supported by imovie. imovie, apparently, does not support .VOB files. So, in one sentence, I need to know how to conver a .VOB file into one supported by imovie, and then how to import those files to imovie. Thank you very much for reading this. Do not hesitate to respond =).

  • Importing from a camcorder that writes to DVDs

    Hello,
    I'm trying to import from a Sony Handycam that writes to DVD and not mini DV tapes. Plus I only have a USB cable to connect to my computer. Is there any way to make this work without mini DV tapes or firewire??
    Thanks
    BJ74

    Hi
    Does Your Camera have FireWire out then this is the easiest way - but if it works with a DVD Camera
    is another thing. Doubting.
    A. don't put a mini DVD into Your iMac or iBook or PowerBook. You need a trayloaded DVD to do this.
    B. Read what Karsten collected:
    DVD back to iMovie:
    .. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... :
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3822853&#3822853
    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
    made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
    QuicktimeKirk stated: I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
    "instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
    show it off. ..
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in
    recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    • DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    • Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)

    • Cinematize >60$
    • Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    • Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    • connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    • Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
    • Use iSquint for your conversions : www.iSquint.org
