I do not know how to use i dvd to burn a disk

I would like to make a copy of some of my dvd movies that I have and I do not know where to start. How do I import the movie to the computer and then burn it to a new disk? Thanks for any help I can get. I am new to mac and it has been a rough change for me. I am having trouble with a few of the features on this computer that were sale point when I bought it.

iDVD is for creating new DVDs with your digital movie clips from something like iMovie.
iDVD ISN'T a disk copying application.
If the DVDs you have are not commercial copy-protected DVDs you can use Apple's Disk Utility to copy them. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724 How to copy previously-burned DVD-R video discs
If the DVDs have your home movies on them, and you want to bring them in to iMovie for editing, you can use something like DVDxDV from http://www.dvdxdv.com/DVDxDV.overview.htm to extract the movies from the DVDs.

  • I have a LaCie external hard disk. I do not know how to retrieve photos from iphoto that have disappeared. I do not know how to use Time Machine

    I have a LaCie external hard drive. I also have Time Machine. I somehow have "lost" almost all my 5,000+ photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. I would appreciate someone giving me directions on how to retrieve the photos from the external hard drive or Time Machine.
    The last thing that I did that is different from my normal routine was to trash duplicate music tunes from iTunes. I cannot figure out how that would have caused my photos to disappear.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I remember being cautioned to never do anything with the iPhoto Library. Should I have clicked on the iPhoto Library and then Restore?
    I do not know "how" items are being placed in the LaCie external drive, just that it shows a backup running about every hour. I have taken a snapshot of the Time Machine Preferences I would you to see. Maybe that would answer this question.
    In March 2011 I had to have hard drive on my iMac replaced. I had been using a Seagate external drive for backups. However I was not using Time Machine. When the Apple guru was helping me restore all my files etc on the new hard drive he was not familiar with Seagate and recommended I purchase this LaCie and use Time Machine. I never had any problem retrieving items from the Seagate backup. It was very straightforward. As I mentioned previously, I just don't have a clue with the LaCie and Time Machine.
    I hope this is not TMI.

  • I do not know how to use i cloud. or i tunes anymore for that matter. can someone help me?

    I had not updated my Itunes in a while. when i got my mac i updated it to the latest version and i guess i set up i cloud but I have no idea how to use it. i have 1163 songs in my itunes library but they literally only show up some times and others they dont. it says i have all those songs in my music library on my phone but then half of them dont play and i dont understand why? most of my songs have a little cloud next to them like they need to be downloaded but i dont understand????
    I just want all my music on my phone.
    my phone also cant back up to icloud becase there is no storage but i have 3 backups under my back up and i dont know what to do? i lost my phone recently and i think it still has my old back up but i dont wanna delete that one cause im scared its gonna delete everything and i just really dont know what to do.
    does anyone know if im doing something wrong or what i can do to back up to my old back up or what?
    my contacts also always change names. or i put a number in my phone and it literally disappears 2 minutes later. ill save the number again and it does it again but then i look back in a ciuple of weeks and i have 4 of the same contact. its very frustrating

    Did you enable the "Find my..." function BEFORE you lost it?

  • Having reinstalled java. Iahve tools which I do not know how to use.

    I have Windows XP, and have reinstalled Java as the previous version had wiped clean. At present have a subfolder of program files called java which has a sub folder called jdk1.8.0_18, but I do not how to use these tools to compile and run programs.

    I was abel compile and run a file, but it was a little more complex than suggested and I would lile to know to do with a a mouse,At this point, if you actually want to learn java, then using the command prompt is your best bet.
    I have no idea what "do with a a mouse" means. Was there a specific tool you were using before? I'm sure you can set which compiler it uses somehow. Or you could just use an IDE. In either case, google is your friend. But you should be using the command prompt until you're more familiar with what's going on behind the scenes.

  • Sorry I do not know how to use this right.. my safari bar has no place to view choices..how can I choose view?

    Thank you b noir for the answer Start off with your Menu Bar showing. There is no menu bar showing. only thing on top is a pair of glasses, open book, tiles, Apple, News, Yahoo, Google, Youtube... above that is my name with facebook and that is it... no drop down box or any place to go to click on anything to bring up anything.
    I cannot get into the safari to make any changes and even if I did...I do not know what to do. Can anyone tell me how to uninstall the entire safari and all of the settings it has now? If I can do that, then I would just re install it ... as is now, I removed Safari then re installed and it was the same as the messed up safari I just removed.
    thank you yakay

  • Google Maps dowloaded, but don't know how to use it or find what I just downloaded?

    just bought a blackberry curve and know nothing about it. I went to google maps and clicked download, and it finished downloading and now I do not know how to use google maps or find where it is on my phone. How do I find where it is on my phone? (When I finished downloading it asked if I wanted to "run" or something else, I checked the other box - Also, if I go back to google and try to download google maps again it says it was already downloaded on my phone!)
    I do know how to use google maps on a computer, just not on my phone.

    Assuming that it downloaded and installed ok on your Curve, the first step is to find the application icon.  Depending on your theme you're using, you may need to press the menu button to display the full list of applications. Do that by pressing the button to the right of the trackball (with the dots). 
    The google maps icon is kind of orange and looks like a little folded map. After you click on that, it's pretty straight forward. Click on the menu button to search for a location and get directions.
    Hope that's not too basic of instructions.  Besides from email, google maps is the thing I use the most.  Verizon cripples the GPS, but the approximate location based on cell towers is still super useful.  Enjoy!

  • In a class for dreamweaver cs6 but have Creative cloud I don't know how to use dreamweaver

    I am in a web design class where the book is on CS6 Dreamweaver but I have Creative Cloud so everything is different. I am afraid I am going to fail this class that is required for my degree because I do not know how to use Dreamweaver. Can anybody help me?

    If you're a Creative Cloud Subscriber, you can download & install CS6 alongside CC. 
    NOTE: Follow the VERY IMPORTANT instructions or it won't work.

    The problem with text books is that they were not updated to reflect changes/improvements Adobe made to the software. It's worth noting that DW CS6 has 6 versions -- all a little different depending on how you obtained it.
    CS6 Perpetual Licensed (or boxed version) -  12.0, update 12.01, update 12.02, update 12.03
    CS6 Cloud (subscription version) - 12.0, update 12.1, update 12.2

  • I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.

    I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.

    This was so annoying!! It took me a good couple of hours but i figured it out, you need to do the following: Go to the folder where you saved the download (in my case i saved it in My Downloads) -> click on 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 12' -> click on 'PSE 12' -> click on 'Setup' (select the icon which is a box with a shield) -> follow instructions and....voila! You will need to restart when it suggests so save anything else first, then when it reboots you should see the icon on your desktop....hpe this helps!

    If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done.  Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

    The memory on my MAC is full. It holds 4GB of RAM of which 79GB are photos. I would like to back up my photos to an external drive but just do not know how. I do not wish to use time machine. How do I back up my photo library, then delete them from my MAC to free up that 79GB? Thank you.

    Hi
    Just to clarify a couple of points in your post.
    RAM (memory) is different from hard drive space. You have 4GB of RAM, but that has no bearing on the amount of drive space you have, of which we know that 79GB are photos.
    If those photos are in iPhoto, you should be able to move the entire iPhoto Library, from the Pictures folder, to your external hard drive. You can just drag and drop. Do not have iPhoto open while you're doing this. Once it's done, you can double-click on the moved iPhoto Library file to associate it with iPhoto, so that the app remembers where the library is for next time.
    One more thing. When you move a file to a different location, and then delete the original, you don't have a backup. You still only have one copy. So if that external drive dies, you will lose all your photos. Time Machine is a very good way to prevent this from happening. You should dedicate a different drive for Time Machine backups.

    Completely inappropriate, and they all also not help with volume adjustments. Fades will only apply to Audio Regions in the Tracks area: they will not fade out the complete mix unless you first Bounce it, add that to the Tracks area, apply the Fades with the Fade tool, then Bounce in Place (Again).
    Much much better to make use of Track automation to take care of Volume adjustments, and to Fade out the end of the song by applying Track Automation to the Output Channel
