(I don't have my (no-longer booting) iBook in front of me to check this, but I think this is what I did last night....)
Boot single user -- hold down "cmd-S" immediately after you turn the computer on.
"diskutil list" will give you a list of your disks. My CD drive was disk1.
"diskutil eject disk" should eject the target disk.

How install PE10 from DVD

My hp laptop came with PSE10 and PE10 installed , but no disks. Everything worked fine except PE would not access Smartsound Quicktracks. hp then sent me individual install DVDs for PSE10 and PE10. I uninstalled PE10 and tried to reinstall from DVDs, It hangs up and I never get the exe file to start install. I know the disc is good since it comes up ok on my desktop. I thought perhaps the problem was that the original package was a combined PSE10/PE10. So I uninstalled PSE10 and reinstalled it successfully from the DVD. Still cannot install PE10 starting with disk 2. If I load disk 1 it correctly tells me to close and start with disk 2.
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
This is a general Adobe program install ARTICLE, but might be helpful. Most of the tips are for when things progress beyond where you are hanging up.
For what you describe, I woud Copy your PrE DVD to a folder on one of your internal HDD's. Then, try to install from there, rather than from the DVD.
Please report how that works.
Good luck,

Satellite A65-SP159 - How to restore from DVD?

HI friends
I have a Satellite A65-SP159 and the CD/DVD dont work. I have the DVD disc restore but I cant use this.
How I can restore my system?
The BIOS of this notebook only bootable from HDD.
many thanks and sorry for my bad english.
regards from chile

Hello
That means the CD/DVD drive is not listed in BIOS anymore?!
If not the CD/DVD rive seems to be malfunctioning
In this case you need a new compatible CD/DVD drive that you can reinstall Windows from Toshiba recovery disk.
You can get a new drive from an authorized service provider in your country. Just ask the guys, they will help you.

How to reboot from iLOM

Hello -
From remote I typed reboot as root on my solaris server- it did not come up. Yesterday night , one person also did hard reboot... no one is available at the moment near server.
But I am still not able to connect from remote. Looks like server is still down.
I also have iLO of same server. Is there any way to get Solaris Server allowing connecting with available iLOM's command prompt? How?
Thank you!

Hi nobutan,
not within OSX itself.
But you can use BootChamp http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/28468/bootchamp for this.

Satellite Pro A200: How to reboot from hibernation

I must be an idiot.
I set on/off button of new Satellite Pro A200 to activate hibernation.
Then set BIOS password. Despite password correctly entered, it will not start windows.
Nor can I shut down laptop by holding down the on/off button to force reboot.
So
1) how do I reboot short of waiting till the batterys run flat...... And
2) when and if I do manage a reboot, which key (s) should I hold down to enter BIOS.
Many thanks for help.

> Despite password correctly entered, it will not start windows.
>Nor can I shut down laptop by holding down the on/off button to force reboot
Do you have a Phoenix BIOS? If yes then you have to press the F2 button immediately after notebook starting to access the BIOS. But you will be not able to access the BIOS if the password is not right and cannot be verified!
The unknown BIOS password can be deleted only by an ASP in you country. There is a special procedure which is only known to the Toshiba authorized service technicians.
Therefore follow the recommendation and contact the guys!
PS: The notebook should shut down when you press the power button for about 4-5sec.
Otherwise disconnect the AC and remove the battery to disable the computer!

How to copy from DVD

Hi.
I have a dvd which contain my friend's wedding movies. The problem is that everytime I played it on the DVD player, it gets stuck and said 'skipping damaged area'. But when I played on an actual player on the tv, everything's fine. Recently my friend asked me to edit the video so I wanted to copy the files to my hd.
But it has two different files, Audio_TS and Video_TS. In the audio file, there's no sub-files. I've tried copying both of the files but it doesn't work. And I've tried ripping it by using iSkysoft DVD Ripper, but when it's finished, the audio's missing.
How can I solve this matter? I would really appreciate the help.

Welcome to the forums!
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

which costs $25.

Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

How do import from DVD?

I've got a band performance on DVD that I want to import and add a reworked soundtrack to (that I've done in GB).
I've loaded the DVD and it plays the DVD but I can't work out how to import what I'm seeing on the DVD into iMovie. I try to import but can't find the DVD "file".
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dick

This isn't the best forum for your question Zoomman.
But if the DVD is protected, you might need something like Mac the Ripper and Hand brake (MtR to extract, HB to convert to QT files) to get the video you want off of the DVD.

How to install from DVD onto machine without DVD drive

My boss has a laptop without a DVD drive, and wants to install Tiger. Tiger comes on a DVD. What is the best way to complete this install?
If I put the DVD in my laptop, then mount it as an external drive will that give us access to the DVD within it?

You can copy Tiger to CD's (if you already have the Tiger DVD's) and do the install from CD's. Or if your boss has a firewire port on his laptop you can plug in a firewire DVD drive and run the installation from there. You will need to hold down the option key to select which drive to start off of.
If you haven't already purchased Tiger you could buy the CD version on eBay.

How create iso from dvd

What's the best way to create an iso file from an installation DVD in 10.8? I want to create one to install Windows 8 on Boot Camp.

Tom Bombaci Jr wrote:

Correct. You can use Disk Utility to create a disk image. Then convert to ISO.
or
Download a ISO from Microsoft.
p.s. ParallelsDesktop also recognizes ISO.

How to import from DVD (VOB files)

I have PP CS4 version 4.2.1 and am using it on a Windows 7 - 64 bit machine. I have tried several different ways to import the VOB files in order to edit. I am able to view each of the VOB files in the Source Monitor, but I can't seem to put them together. That is, the video I want to edit is found on four of the VOB files.
I have also used AVS Video Converter 6 to rip the VOB files into one AVI file, but when I import the AVI file the video plays at what looks like about double speed and gets way out of sync with the audio.
I am a Premiere Pro newbie, but have lots of experience with Dreamweaver and creating websites. In fact, the final product will be a Flash video.
Any help will be appreciated.

Clean install from DVD failing again and again.

I tried clean installing Lion:
I partitioned my hard disk and burned a DVD with the installer.
When booting from that DVD, it just tells me that setup failed and I should try installing again.
At that point, the only option is to reboot from DVD again, ending up with the same error, or using the tools delivered on the tool except for installing.
I tried installing while being booted on the DVD via Terminal by starting /Install Mac OS X Lion.app. This fails after rebooting again as well.

question , where did you get DVD from ??? i burn it my self via tutorial

Importing from DVD CAM

Hi, I just installed Adobe Premiere Pro but I don't know how to import my videos from my DVD CAM. Could anyone tell me how to import from DVD CAM?
Thank you

Was just given 2 DVD cam discs containing footage that was shot at a concert I am editing. On reviewing the discs, I noticed that each song is assigned to a separate chapter on the DVD. I'd really like to use this footage as it provides additional camera angles I didn't cover. I am going to use my old Ulead Video Studio 8 program to convert the DVD files to mpg's for editing in Pr. (I will also check out the software Jeff mentioned). I'm trying to convert each chapter on the DVD to an mpeg2 file so the files size is manageable.
The footage I shot is mini DV, and I plan on mixing the two sources. What do I need to look out for as far as the "conversions/extra steps" you mentioned?
Thanks.
