I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imove?

i assume you mean for editing.  in that case, you're going to need either some software or hardware to convert the signal from DVD to something that iMovie can handle.
there are a couple of devices out there that can convert sources like DVD, like a Canopus ADVC ($170), or the cheaper Elgato VCD ($85) that converts to mp4.  the main advantage of the Canopus is that i can convert from analog sources like VHS.
if you're just working from DVD sources, then DVDxDV software ($29) will probably do the trick and be the most reasonably priced option.
of course, these all are meant to be used for non-copyrighted DVDs -- they will not work on DVD's that have have copy protection, and no one here will discuss any illegal copying.

    We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it.  Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers.  See what I mean?  I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not. 
    You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

  • I have several manuals in PDF format. How do I download them into my iPad and view them?

    I have several manuals in PDF format. How do I download them into my iPad and view them? I downloaded a PDF viewer on my iPad and via itunes I can download the PDF to the iPad although for some reason the iPad comes up as 'RmoteTV' with a sub-directory of 'Books'. The 'PDFReader' app doesn't seem to find the file.

    You can use the free iBooks to read PDF files. Download the app, use itunes to transfer the data then open the PDFs.
    There are other pdf readers as well. I see good reader recommended and I'm sure there are more.

  • I received my new Iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset.  It has been working fine until today when I deletec all my contacts from my old handset.  Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back?

    I received my new iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset.  It has been working fine until today when I deleted all my contacts from my old handset.  Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back?  I don't think the back up was done using icloud as I keep getting the message "not enough memory"

    The point is not whether you used iTunes or iCloud to restore your new iPhone. It's whether you have Contacts turned on in Settings > ICloud. If you do on both your old iPhone and new iPhone then those devices are connected through iCloud. Deletions on one device are also made on the other.
    You may be able to restore your Contacts be using your old device backup to restore your new iPhone again. Make sure that you turn Off ICloud functionality on your old iPhone before you delete anything else from it.

  • HT203167 I have two accounts with itunes, my first one i had a ton of music i downloaded to and now i've lost my password to my yahoo account and its been long enough now they have deleted and recycled my email account, how can i get them back on my accou

    I have two accounts with itunes, my first one i had a ton of music i downloaded to and now i've lost my password to my yahoo account and its been long enough now they have deleted and recycled my email account, how can i get them back on my account i'm no

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • I have used the deautherised all this year how can i get them all deautherised again

    i have used the deautherised all this year how can i get them all deautherised again

    There are two ways to get photos and videos on your iPod:
    - The can by synced to the iPod using the Photos pane in iTunes.  Thises photos and video aenot port of the backup that iTunes makes when you sync.
    - The other way is to take photos and videos with the iPod's camera (4G only) or to save like screeen shots or aved email attachments.  This type of photos and videos are includd n the backup that iTunes makes.  Thus, restoring from backup will retore those photos and video to the iPod up until the time the backup was made. Just make sure that you have auto-syncing turned off in iTunes otherwise iTunes will make a backup and overwite the old one. Do this by checking the box titled "Prevent iPods...syncing" in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

  • I have downloaded golf instructional videos, how do I get them into iTunes

    I find the four videos in the Finder under Movies.  I can open with iTunes, but how would I import them into iTunes so I can share and view on my Apple TV, iPads and iPhones?

    Or drag and drop the file(s) onto the iTunes window.
    Personally I had good experience with the mp4 format, which is the iTunes native format!
    Once the files have been added they will show up under the section MOVIES.
    From there you can give your videos further Meta Data to keep them organised, i.e. have them showing in the section TV SHOWS all under one TITLE.

  • I have three websites in one file. How do I separate them into three individual files?

    I have three websites in one file (Domain.Sites2). How do I separate them into three individual files without taking the site down or loosing files?

    Duplicate the domain file 3 times (keeping the orignal as a backup).  Name each domain file for the website you want it to contain.  Then open each domain file and delete the two sites you don't want it it. 
    Since you're running Mt. Lion you'll need to read the following in order to be able to open the different domain files.
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application. 
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Now I have to covert my i tunes to MP-3  formate to insert them into a power point presentation These songs are in my i tunes library on my computer I know how stupid it sounds how to I get them into a file on my computer seperate from my i tunes library

    One way friends of mine have done it....use iTunes to burn a music CD with the songs (presuming it can still do that, haven't tried it in a while)
    THen close iTunes and open windows media player. Use that to convet the CD file to MP3 (media player's default is to pull things in as wma, so you may need to change the preferences to mp3, or i'm pretty sure wma's work in power points)
    Once media player converts the format you can insert it into your powerpoint.
