I have a DVD folder (VOB files) that was rip for me form my VSH.  The DVD play correctly though it has the minus icon on the folder and appears to be empty and I can't get permission to retrieve my home videos files .

You're not dealing with your typical DVD-Video data structure with a SONATA_VOLUME.  This type of data structure is designed to prevent someone from extracting the data and it's very effective at doing so.  You've probably already found that the applications that allow you to copy, extract and convert the standard DVD-Video data structure (a "VIDEO_TS" volume) will not work with a SONATA_VOLUME (apps like Toast, MactheRipper and Handbrake).
While making a digital copy is pretty much not an option with a SONATA_VOLUME, capturing the video and sound via an analog to digital capture usually works just fine.  Of course, that's not nearly as simple as popping the disc into your computer and a drag and drop or just clicking "convert" or "extract" and waiting for the copy or conversion to finish.
Do you have any video hardware for capturing analog video?  A MiniDV camcorder will do the trick if your Mac has a FireWire port.  You'll also need video capture software.  I'd recommend a version of iMovie that supports DV-NTSC, Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro.
My Sony DVD recorder creates SONATA_VOLUMES while my Panasonic DVD recorder creates VIDEO_TS folders.  The Sony is unplugged and sitting in the corner.

  • Can't get iTunes to add a (home) video to the library.

    Adding a video to iTunes.  "Help" (HA!) says to use Menu/File/Add File to Library or drag and drop, just like an audio file.  Neither works for me.  If I drag and drop, iTunes will create an empty playlist with the filename of the video; no file, just the name.  iTunes v11.0.2.26

    MY problem is I can see the vids I've added... I can easily add them to play lists... and when I click on one, I can see it play in iTunes... But, even tho all these vids are in a playlist, only one will play at a time... so, no matter what I do, I can't get the next vid in the playlist to play sequentailly.
    Vids I've purchased from Apple work just fine..... go figure.
    I SUSPECT this is Apple's way of telling us to forget about home made vids, and ONLY use vids purchased in the iTunes store....

  • Excel on imac - have trashed/deleted workbooks via finer but the frozen icon still appears on excel homepage.  Can't get it off the page even though information comes up that it is in trash, and trash has been emptied.  Grandma is screaming!

    Excel on imac.  Have deleted/trashed workbooks from Finder and they have disappeared from the finder listing but the frozen icon remains on the Excel Workbook Gallery Under my Recent Workbooks.  Clicking on the empty icon which is still titled shows that they are in trash but I can't get rid of the icon which is a waste of space as well as annoying.  Help - Grandma is screaming!

  • I have a cheap broken audio jack that was meant for aesthetic purposes and I can't get it out?

    The best thing I could do was use a hot glue gun and pull it out that way. You could use pliers but it is so cheap it broke again. So now it's stuck in there.

    You could consider taking iPhone to an Apple store genius bar to see if they can assist you.

  • I have lost nearly all my photos and events.  I received a message effectively saying that I need to upgrade from an old base.  I think I may have tried to open an event that was stored in iPhoto Buddy a few days ago.

    I have lost nearly all my photos and events.  I received a message effectively saying that I need to upgrade from an old base.  I think I may have tried to open an event that was stored in iPhoto Buddy a few days ago.  iPhoto Buddy is not supported in Lion.  How can I retrieve my phjotos?

    What version of iPhoto?
    Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I would like upgrade a 16-bit dll that was developed for 16-bit windows to a 32-bit dll

    I have an 16-bit dll library that was used for talking to a DAQ through Labview version 4 for windows 3.1. I would like to upgrade it so that I can make these calls through Labview version 4.0.1(32-bit). Can anybody do it for me

    You are asking not much aren't you? I mean your DLL acesses directly the
    speaker hardware
    in the first function I looked at. Hardware access in 32 bit Windows DLLs is
    a big NONO.
    Then looking at the communication source I see that your device is
    appearently a nice GPIB
    device.
    In my humble opinion reimplementing the whole piece in LabVIEW would be just
    as hard as
    porting it properly to Win32 as a DLL. It is certainly a lot of work
    in any
    case but that
    requirement to develop the solution in LabVIEW 4.0 seems rather antiquated
    to me.

    Try double clicking your home button then force close the stuck PDF by swiping upward. Once you've done that just click the home button again to exit.

  • I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

    I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional that I want to migrate to my newer laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded the file 22020134.exe to reinstall it on my new computer and I go through the hops and when I put in the Serial Number it tells me its invalid.

    22020134.exe is the file Adobe say you must download and run to instal Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I went through the  process, the one described in your link, I downloaded the file, ran it, it runs well, except it tells me my serial number is invalid. Now what? Does this mean I now have to discard my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and start again with a $500 purchase? All I want to do is transfer what I have to another computer.

  • I have a file that was created in FH 11 and I am using same version.Originator opens file and everything is fine and also earlier version opens it fine.when I open it the links shift 1/8" up and left.Has anybody had this happen to them

    I have a file that was created in FH 11 and I am using same version.Originator opens this file and everything is fine and also an earlier version opens it fine.When I open it it shifts the links 1/8" up and to the left.Has anybody ever had this happen to them?

    What file format(s) are the "links"?
    If raster images, do they contain clipping paths or transparency?
    What is your platform and OS?
    Were the FH documents created on the same platform (Mac or PC) as the one you are currently using?
    Were the linked files created on the same platform (Mac or PC) as the one you are currently using?
    Can you reproduce the problem with a newly created document and the same linked images?
    There was once an issue with transparent 1-bit TIFF images shifting, but I believe that was in a previous version of FH.

  • When I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to.  Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty.  How can I get it to show each

    when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to.  Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty.  How can I get it to show each page again?

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
    Best,

  • HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

    How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.  I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

    Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback.  I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod.  I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs.  I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again.  Do you know how to back up music to my computer?  I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.
