Is Mpeg2 the answer?
I want to take homemade DVDs and get them into iMovie for editing and sharing to YouTube. I used to be able to use MPEG Streamclip for that, but now get a message saying "You must install the MPEG-2 Playback Component before trying to export MPEG2 files!"
A couple of questions about that. In reading prior posts it says to use that, or a program called DVDxDV. Can anyone provide recommendations or comparisons of those two products?
Assume I buy the MPEG-2 software, is that something used in conjunction with MPEG Streamclip? Do I still drag the DVD to Streamclip and MPEG-2 operates in the background to create the proper format? If there are setting choices to be made, what do I select for wanting best possible video and audio quality for YouTube?
Yes, You need the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Playback Component (available online from Apple about $20)
Assume I buy the MPEG-2 software, is that something used in conjunction with MPEG Streamclip? Do >I still drag the DVD to Streamclip and MPEG-2 operates in the background to create the proper >format?
Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Playback Component works in the background MPEG Streamclip will use it with no intervention on your part.
Open the DVD. If the DVD Player starts up, shut it down. Look at the DVD in the Finder. Navigate to the Video_TS folder and drag the VOB files into MPEG Streamclip. If it offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
I use File/Export Using QuickTime in Apple Intermediate Codec at 100% quality in the original dimensions.

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it. I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar. I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?
Sort of. There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art. But I don't think you really need it.
If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over, or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around. -
Please help!! I can't remember any of the answers to my security questions (I made them approximately four years ago and don't know what I was thinking).
How can I change my questions without answering my security questions that I don't know?!??You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email. Is there another way to change or get the answers for the security questions?
If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset because I do not have a rescue email. what do I do?
this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.
