I need help with DVD's for my ipod...

How do you burn copyrighted dvds to itunes so i can put them on my ipod...is there a special program that i need?

You will need a decrypter program, I suggest dvd43 or dvd decrypter. I like dvd43 because it runs in the background and you can use it with just about any dvd copy program converting program. Both these are free, do a search and you will find them.

these are only just two of the many places you can get these.

  • Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

    Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
    Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
    """Create a console calculator applicaion that:
    * Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
    program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
    user.
    * Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
    the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
    Math class.
    -Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
    truncate it.
    -When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
    operation.
    -Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
    * Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
    only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
    wrapper classes to help you.
    * Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
    hex numbers.
    * Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
    program when entering a certain option.
    * When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
    current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
    program.
    * Make use of helper classes where possible.
    * Use the SDK to run your program."""
    When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
    when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??
    Here is the programs code that I've written so far:

    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
    What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
    AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

  • Need Help with DVD recorder (HDMI) to record off DVR

    I purchased a philips dvd recorder a few years ago and need  help in setting up to record my DVR program recordings. The philips user manual is not very helpful being I'm trying to set-up with just using HDMI cables.  I have a HDTV (Vizio) with a HDMI port; a DVD recorder with HDMI port and my Verizon set-top box have a HDMI port.  How do i get it all to work and be able to record/copy programs from DVR to my DVD recorder?   Do anyone have suggestions on how to set up wiring.  Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First keep in mind that DVD is not an HD format, so you will not be able to record HD shows in HD; they will be in letterboxed 4:3.
    The FiOS STB only has one HDMI (out) port. Therefore, you will need to use some other output from the STB to the DVD recorder. Component, or even composite/RCA, because it's not going to record in HD anyway to DVD, will work just fine. Then you want to set your DVD player to whatever input you used to connect from the STB; i.e. mine uses "Input 1" for my composite connection.
    If you turn on your STB and DVD, this will record whatever the STB is outputting to a DVD if you press record on the DVD recorder. This includes all of the program menus and any other on-screen graphics on the STB, and this means you cannot change the channel if you are recording from your STB. You can shut your TV off, but you will not be able to watch another show while recording one to DVD.
    Your DVD player might give you an HDCP message at first when the recording starts if it's getting an HD input, but that should go away after a few seconds, at least for my Panasonic DVD recorder with a composite connection.

  • Need help with correction inscript for duplication on regular basis

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Win 2008 R2. We have Archive mode enabled and no rman catalog is used. I have a requirement where i have to duplicate prod sevrer on regular basis to development server.
    I have created few batch files so that the entire process in automated. Stored all the scripts in c:\script\clone\ directory.+
    I have taken the backup copy of password and spfile from prod server and copied to the development server in same location.
    These are the scripts i run in order:
    *1_clone.bat*
    set ORACLE_SID=orcl
    sqlplus / as sysdba @c:\script\clone\2_test.bat
    *2_test.bat*
    shutdown immediate
    startup nomount
    host rman target sys/oracle@live nocatalog auxiliary / @c:\script\clone\3_rman.rcv
    *3_rman.rcv*
    run {
    allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
    duplicate target database to ORCL NOFILENAMECHECK;
    exit
    When the duplication process in about to finish, i get below error:
    contents of memory script:
    shutdown clone;
    startup clone nomount;
    executing Memory Script
    RMAN-03002: failure of duplicate DB command at 07/31/2012 08:02:21

    RMAN-06136: Oracle error from auxiliary database: ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation
    Recovery Manager complete
    SQL>
    When i press exit, this window closes and i can run the alter database open resetlogs;+ command from a new sql prompt. I check online and some suggest there might be a window open with system user connected. Please suggest any changes in the script.
    Best Regards,

    Hello;
    Having another session with system user will cause rman to throw this error. For example another session used to start up database in nomount mode still being active.
    Duriing the cloning process the rman session needs to be exclusively connected to the auxiliary instance (no other session are allowed).

  • Not exactly iweb - need help with a graphic for my site

    This doesn't fit anywhere so dumping it here. I drew by hand a graphic I want to use with iweb to put on my site as my site's logo. Main problem is that getting the background transparent isn't working well as when it was scanned the scanner didn't back the background "pure" white. I have tried adjusting the whitepoint and setting the color depth down, but still no good. I don't know a ton about graphic program use. I have an older copy of graphic converter that came on this powerbook when i got it. I would be fine having the graphic loose the marker look and have solid fill colors - just I am not good enough with computer drawing tools to do it on the computer! So I either need to get a volunteer to help me out, or some help with some detailed instructions to get this to work out... (also I am broke so no cost/shareware is only option here)
    many thanks!!!!
    I can get you a scanned jpg of the pic if needed.

    THANK YOU/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png so the tolerance makes it not care so much about the gradations in color? what else is tolerence good for?
    I have a cleaner copy now after someone suggested GIMP, so played with it last night - though couldn't figure out transparency - that was clear on converter- just not cooperative till these wonderful directions.
    So now I know how to do it without messing with the pic, and with messing with it - both good lessons and got a bit brighter color out of the deal.
    many thanks for the straightforward and clear directions, they worked perfectly/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png extra strars for you/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

  • Need performance! - Need help with Server Architecture for SSAS on Azure VM

    I would like to build 100% Azure VM base solution. We can install as many as needed.
    I have large amount data in DW. (100GB-1000GB)
    I would like to provide PowerView reports in SharePoints.
    I would like to have report data be as real time as possible. (Min data is updated once in 2 hours)
    These are requirements:
    -SharePoint 2013
    -PowerView
    -SSAS OLAP Cube
    -SQL Server DW&Staging DB (Currently DW&Staging on same server)
    I need help specially what can be done with SSAS to meet requirements? Should be installed to own application server? Possible to install multiple SSAS? SSRS needs own server?
    I appreciate also links to server topology diagrams.
    Kenny_I

    I assume you mean 100GB-1000GB (not 1000TB) right?
    For Sharepoint I would refer to the sizing guide for diagrams and sizing:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758647(v=office.15).aspx
    SSRS (and Power View) will run in the SharePoint farm on a SharePoint app server potentially with other SharePoint services.
    I would definitely put SSAS on a dedicated server for a cube that size. Depending on how well your data compresses, there may not be a VM in Azure with enough RAM to put your model into a Tabular SSAS model. I would prototype it with a subset of data to see
    how well it compresses. You can always use a Multidimensional model as a fallback.
    Depending on how much processing the SSAS model impacts user queries (since it is happening during the day) you could build an SSAS processing server and a separate SSAS query server and run the XMLA Synchronize command to copy the cube incrementally from processing
    to query servers.
    Does that help?

  • Need help with installing Windows for the bar exam

    I need to retake the bar exam in Feb 2011 and I've decided to switch to typing. I am trying to figure out what Windows I need (the software says XP is fine but is that even available anymore)- so can someone walk me through this process? I've partioned my hard drive with the default 5GB but should it be more?
    I'm looking at buying Windows- is XP okay or should I shell out for 7-i.e. is one more compatible with Macs?
    And then finally, in the installation instructions they mention that I need my Mac OS disc for the process- is that the snow leopard disc or something else? My discs are in storage right now so should I wait until I get them before starting this process or can I get replacements if I accidentally threw them out in moving?
    Sorry for all the questions, but well, I'm racing to get everything done and I want to make sure I don't crash my system halfway through the exam!

    You don't need Boot Camp, but even XP will have a lot of stuff to update from after the install, and that takes temp space. Just as your Mac shows 5-10GB there is add'l hidden space used.
    Apple's 'requirements' has gotten others in trouble and I was pretty sure it was more like 10GB. Plus a lot of XP discs are now SP3.
    XP out of the box but connected to the net is just waiting for malware, average is 15 minutes to be infected. 7 is better and just in case you need it again.
    System Builder can come in 32 or 64-bit but XP is 32-bit only.
    VirtualBox by Oracle is a free VM.
    1GB for one program actually seems like a lot, or is that RAM requirement?

  • Need help with user ID for this forum

    I have problem that I can't seem to get resolved online which involves my Apple Support user ID... Sorry to post this here, but I don't know where to go for help.
    I have been a member of the apple community for a long time (since 2002) but my login ID and user ID seem to have been disconnected. Happened when I tried to sign in once and had all kinds of problems. Now I've created a new user ID but would like my old one back. I've tried several times to get my original user ID back, but there seems to be no way to get it back... If I sign up for the user ID, it tells me that it is taken (because its mine).
    Can you help me? Is there a real person I can contact who can help me?
    Thanks for any support.

  • Need help with syncing from ITunes to IPOD

    Hi. I'm relatively new to ipods but I just got an IPOD mini. Since it only has so much memory(about 4g) I want to sync specific songs, not have Itunes do it automatically. When I clicked on the "manually manage music" I can see it works but only to a certain extent. You have to drag EVERY SINGLE SONG to IPOD in Itunes INDIVIDUALLY!! I cant do that everytime I wanna switch up my IPOD library. I also clicked "only sync clicked items" hoping that in my normal music library, if I click the box to the left of each song that I want to be synced and uncheck the songs I dont want sync'd that would work. Will it? Because that's all I want to do, just sync particular songs without having to drag 1000 songs. Clicking would be so much easier.

    Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    A better option to use when your iPod is smaller than the iTunes library is 'Sync Music - Selected playlists'.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano or Mini). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

  • Need help with original MacBook, Snow Leopard, iPod Touch and iPad

    I have the original MacBook (2GHz Intel Core Duo) and I just installed Snow Leopard.  My software is all up to date and my system drive has 42 GB of space available. I have an iPod Touch 32 GB 3rd Gen and iPad 1 32 GB that I previously have been syncing with an iBook G4 PowerPC with no problems.  The iPod is running iOS 6. 
    Now, I want to sync them with this MacBook but when I open iTunes and connect the iPod, I go to click Backup (to this Computer(or even to iCloud)), it gives me an error message that my computer does not have enough space to backup.  The iPod is only 17 GB full.  So, I tried clicking Sync, in an effort to just get my iPod data into my iTunes and on the computer that way.  But it only did a 3 step sync and didn't actually transfer anything from the iPod.  My iPod was NOT wiped clean however(which is what I was actually worried would happen).  So I gave up on the iPod. 
    Moving on to the iPad, I clicked back up and it WAS able to backup.  The Available space on my system drive went from about 42.8 GB to 42.25 GB, so I figured it may have done something.  Then I tried to Sync and it did the same 3 step sync and nothing was transferred to the computer and the iPad left untouched.
    I am extremely new to Snow Leopard, so maybe I am missing something.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  Ultimately my goal is to just get everything from my iPod and iPad onto this MacBook.

    See if yhis article helps with your sync and backup issues http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Make sure that you click on each tab on the top of the iTunes window and select what you want to be synched.

    As far as replacing the hard drive it's very easy, here's a guide http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Hard+Drive+Replacement/514/1
    IF you do decide to replace the hard drive you might consider a solid state drive, less power, less heat and WAYYYYY faster. I replaced mine with a Samsung 840 250GB SSD and it's the best upgrade I've ever done to a computer.

  • Need help with PC build for use with Photoshop CS4 Extended - Have I made the right choices?

    Hello,
    I'm very new to the inner workings of a PC...this will be first time building one from scratch.  I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to be confident.  I will use the PC primarily for editing, secondarily for iTunes management.  I've heard that I should have, at the very least, an SSD for PS, other apps and the O/S.  I'll also have a hard drive for data storage.  Do I need yet another SSD for scratch?  If so, any recs for one?  Also, my current build (which does not include any SSDs) is about $800.  What can I skinny down, without sacrificing a huge amount of speed/performance?  I am looking for major guidance here...I'm ready to order, but I keep second-guessing my choices.  I want to make sure I get this right the first time around.  I want this machine to last me a good long while.  Any help at all will be HUGELY appreciated!

    Make sure the motherboard is the third revision as the earlier two had problems with the i5-2500K (Sandy Bridge)
    I prefer Asus motherboards but doesn't mean the Gigabyte is a problem. (I note that it scored 4 eggs...)
    May not make a difference in Photoshop but for Premiere the Geforce video cards with GDDR5 are preferred.
    The LiteOn iHas 224 does lightscribe which is a nice touch for clients/gifts.
    There is no room to save as I would consider your build minimum specs for a nice photoshop experience.
    As for SSD drives...my research of reviews and articles makes me feel the technology is not ready for mission critical work. So if you are running a business then I recommend not using SSD drives. Rather look at Raptor 10,000 rpm drive for Windows and Photoshop and use the Spinpoint for storage. If not business then I've read the intel x25 SSD drives are solid but I have no personal experience with them.
    Cheers,
    Steve
