I can't find i dvd on share, do i have to download this?

how to get i dvd as i would like to transfer the movies in to a dvd and watch it on tv

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
currently run a G5 PPC Mac but have already purchased iLife 11 (which will only run on Intel Macs) to be ready for the day I update to an Intel iMac. Which will be when, and only if, Lion/Mountain Lion has been superceded by a sensible operating system that allows the user to choose what applications to use, and how, and does not dictate how I destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and does not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store.

  • Where can I find my lion OSX Icon if I have never downloaded it, my computer just came with it?

    I have a new macbook pro and was wondering where my lion osx is or if I have to go downlaod it? If i have to go downlaod it, what software did my computer come with then?

    Lion comes built into your system.  It does not come on a disk.  What do you mean where is your lion OSX?  Is that not the operating system that came with your mac?  Also, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • How do I get past "can't find valid dvd player" error?

    This is regarding a G4 powermac running Tiger 10.4.3
    My Sony dual layer DRX-720UL/T seems to work fine with DVD-ROM content. My kids use it for DVD-ROM games and I had no problem installing Tiger. Problem comes in when I open "DVD player" and get a "Can't find valid dvd player," error. They're connected via Firewire 400, and I've tried the USB link, just to see, but the same error comes up. I'm fairly certain that I viewed a DVD before upgrading to Tiger. The Sony is supposed to be fully mac compatiable, and even comes with Toast light 6. Again all seems to be well except for the fact that DVD player won't allow me to view a NTSC DVD. No matter how many I try.

    What drive was in this G4 prior?
    If you did not have a DVD drive, you need to use Pacifist to extract & install DVD Player.app; downloading or drag&drop won't work.
    Also, Sony drives are probably the worst when it comes to compatability; one specific model may work fine, and others not. This should be less of an issue in Tiger, but only if the problem is other than the optical drive firmware, about which you can do nothing (on a Mac), unlike Pioneer & NEC drives that have mac-based flashers available.
    If DVD Player was installed previously, based on having a DVD drive prior to Tiger install, you may want to try running the 10.4.3 Combo updater over your existing install.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Which password is it that you are looking for. If it is your airplay password, simply turn the password off in the airplay settings on the Apple TV and then turn it back on again and enter a new password.

    The ActiveXViewer is not downloadable from our SAP site. The file is hosted on your web server, and also installed on the system where you have Crystal Reports XI installed.
    Look here, C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsCommon3.0crystalreportviewers11ActiveXControls for ActiveXViewer.cab. Extract the contents and right click crviewer.inf, then select Install.

    I have Apple TV...  have since it came out - but have no clue how to use it.  First question...  can I put a DVD in my macbook and have it display on my TV wirelessly through Apple TV

    With Apple TV you stream content from your iTunes library using homesharing, provided the content is compatible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352
    You can also use airplay with an IOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437
    Natively you can rent from iTunes and use a few other services like Netflix (varies by location)
    As stated above you cannot stream a DVD

    My computer died. I have a back-up but can't find a list of my adobe products, where to download or how to find my product keys. Can anyone help? Adobe telephone help don't want to know and their automated system just hang up.

    As long as you registered your products, you can follow the following to get the S/Ns: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html#adobeproductdownload. The logging into your account at adobe.com with your adobe ID should provide you a list of all the products and S/Ns that you have registered. Depending on the products, the downloads may or may not be available any longer. You indicated you had a backup and I hope you meant of the install files that you previously downloaded. You should always keep backups of downloaded software you have purchased.
