Importing a music dvd onto my mac

Hi guys
I am wodering how I can import a music dvd onto my Mac so i can a make a copy. It doesnt seem to be quite as simple as a cd. Thanks

Why the sanctimonious reaction will remain a mystery
Wow, I've been called a lot of things in my life--for some reason, none of them good things
The point is that DVD decrypting is illegal in many parts of the world, including the USA, where Apple Computer, Inc. seems to be headquartered, and where these discussion forums are hosted.

If you have a mini DV camcorder with A/V ports you can connect the output of a Standalone DVD player to your camcorder (instead of the TV). You'll record the output from the DVD player to tape in your mini DV camcorder and import the tape into iMovie (excellent quality).

Note: Remember with Mpeg Streamclip you'll need the $20 Quicktime Mpeg2 play back component to convert the vob(mpeg2) files on the DVD to DV format for import into iMovie.

Hi I'm trying to import a regular DVD into my Mac, but when I try to used imovie the folder containing the files is grey and I can't do anything I'm not sure if this is the best way to import a DVD (movie) and then burn it so I will have a copy.

If the DVD you are trying to copoy is a DVD-R that you made, then this may help you:

It will not help, however if it is a protected DVD.

Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window. Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other. Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

How do I get my music back onto my mac ?

I had to reinstall OX Lion and now all my itunes are only on my iPhone.
How do I get them back onto the iMac?

Hey been there, done that. I moved my music to another external drive and accidentally deleted too much in the process. So the songs are still in iTunes but the Mac can't find them. Not surprisingly.
iCloud and Match are useless as iCloud says about all my songs on the Mac: "Downloaded". What a big help. Transfer purchases didn't work. Not via the iPhone, not via the iPad.
I tried various fixes and loads of software but the first thing that has actually worked is Touchcopy12 for Mac. Sporting a brand-new 2013 Mini now, I tried one song first and when it worked (eureka!) I purchased the software and it's now copying 1800 songs to my external hard drive, right from my iPhone 5.
Not that it was the end of the world but it's nice to have your music when you're at the computer.

Importing Email from PC onto new Mac

I'm a first time Mac user and am trying to figure out how to get a ton of email off Outlook from my old PC into the Mail program on the new Mac. How should I save the emails for transfer? None of the choices seem to work for import (for example Comma Separated Values or Tab separated values work for importing CONTACTS, but not for the actual emails).
I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this or direction to where I can find help! I'm lost without all those old messages.

I just did this a few weeks ago. You need to open up Outlook Express and import mail from your outlook.pst file into Outlook Express. Once this is done, you need to find all your .mbx files and then copy them to your Mac. Once you copy them to your Mac, you need to rename the .mbx files to .mbox. Once you have done this, you can open up Mail on your Mac and them import all the .mbox files. This is real easy, does not take a long time and it's free.

Importing a DVD into my Mac?

I had my VHS tapes made into DVD's. I would now like to make copies of my DVD's. How do I import my burned DVD into my Mac so I can make more copies of my DVD's?

You create a disk image of the DVD in Disk Utility and then burn the disk from there.

Copy Music DVD to itunes

How do I copy my new Andrea Bocelli music DVD into itunes?

No, CDs aren't generally encrypted.
I purchased the CD's in precisely the same manner as my new music DVD and from the above reply it would appear that I am precluded from enjoying my legally purchased DVD on my own Ipod;
Yup, that's correct.
however, if I had purchased a music DVD from itunes I could only then import this live music onto my Ipod (and possibly create a backup DVD as well?) - surely logic dictates that something is seriously amiss?
The iTunes Store doesn't sell DVDs. Video content sold by the iTunes Store can be back up to a DVD but not burned to a DVD that can be played on a regular DVD player.
There simply must be someone out there to help me with a method and means to get my music DVD onto my Ipod, as this is very important to me.
I gave you the only method that can be talked about on these forums.

How can I play a dvd on my Mac and display it through Apple TV

I want to use my DVD drive on my mac to play back movies through my apple tv2. I notice that on my iPad, iPhone, iTunes on my computer all have the AirPlay option to display the video on my TV through Apple TV. I do not want to burn my DVD onto my Mac and play through iTunes becasue its a hassle.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
One thing you can do is to play the DVD in your Mac using DVD Player instead of iTunes, and then, turn on AirPlay Mirroring to stream your computer's display to your Apple TV > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com This is the only option, because the Apple TV isn't compatible with discs
Logical but it won't work - DVD player output will be a grey checkerboard pattern.
Apple apps prevent Airplay of DVD content at low level presumably for some copy protection reason.
VLC player is believed to work.

Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous compture and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.

Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous computer and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.

This is the iTunes for Windows forum...
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new windows installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup! (Windows tip). For a Mac use Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.

Importing a DVD onto iTunes

does anyone know how to import a movie that I currently own on DVD onto iTunes?

I don't have much problems with HandBrake. Some recent DVDs are giving more errors and won't be converted. Older ones can be converted to iPod size without any problem.
Once they are playable with QuickTime, they can be added to iTunes without any problem.
I guess copy protection schemes are interfering with the conversion.
I'm not knowledgeable about these techniques to give an accurate explanation.
I always try to convert a movie trailer (often present on the DVD) first.
If that's flawless, I try to convert the movie.
You might try another ripping application (search on versiontracker.com for "DVD ripper") or get help in the HandBrake forum.
