Best Mac program for iPod to Computer transfer?

In a few days my Macbook will be arriving. For windows I use the program CopyPod to transfer the music off of my iPod to my computer. This program does not work with Mac. Does anybody have any good programs for the Mac? (Video transfer is needed)
Thanks

Mac programs for transferring video to an iPod

Hello everyone, first time poster
I just have a couple questions about iPod video. Sorry if I'm creating another thread about getting videos on it, but my questions just have not been fully answered in the other threads.
First off, I'm running Mac OS X version 10.4.3 on a 1.42 GHz eMac. So any programs that are suggested to me that run only on Windows or only show system requirements of Windows are of no use to me.
Now here are my questions.
1. How do I get videos on an iPod from a personal DVD? (i.e. movies I created on a single-write disc/re-writeable disc)
2. How do I get videos on an iPod from a commercially sold DVD? (i.e. any regular DVD you buy at Best Buy, etc.)
3. What format does the video need to be to get onto the iPod?
4. What is the best program, free or not, in transferring video to an iPod?
5. What is the best FREE program in transferring video to an iPod?
6. Can I download video from a file sharing program (who will remain nameless) then transfer that video to an iPod?
7. Can I change the format name of a video file that may not play on an iPod (say .wmv a file) to a format name that WILL play on an iPod (I assume it's .mpeg-4)?
8. How do I transfer video from iMovie to an iPod?
9. If I buy my iPod at a regular Apple Store (not the online store), get the AppleCare Protection Plan for it, and if a problem arises with the iPod and I take it to the store for support, will I not be serviced based on the content of my iPod?
Again, sorry if these questions have already been asked and answered, but I just feel better that my own personal questions have been answered, and I don't have to tag on other questions to a different thread.

1. Handbrake
2. Handbrake
3. From the iPod tech specs:
"H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats"
4. iTunes
5. iTunes
6. Yes, assuming you convert it first to a supported format. Use iSquint.
7. You can't just change the file extension, you have to actually convert it. Use iSquint
8. export a quicktime movie, then use either Quicktime Pro or iSquint to convert it.
9. No. The content of your iPod will have no bearing on service (unless you install iPodLinux on it, which voids your warranty).

Best Adobe CC program for drawing with a tablet (not an iPad) - a wacom tablet, that is connected to a lap top.

I've got access to Adobe CC and have a Wacom tablet that I would like to start using more. I understand, there is Adobe Line, for iPad use, which will not work- I don't have an iPad. It seems PhotoShop and Illustrator are my best options but they don't seem to have the features that other software offers such as Corel... Is there an Adobe CC option that I am not seeing?

but they don't seem to have the features that other software offers such as Corel... Is there an Adobe CC option that I am not seeing?
What features?
A wacom tablet works fine with Photoshop and Illustrator.

Please suggest me good app for drawing and painting??

Hi Akash,
Here is a small description on lock object.
The lock mode controls whether several users can access data records at the same time. The lock mode can be assigned separately for each table in the lock object. When the lock is set, the corresponding lock entry is stored in the lock table of the system for each table.
Access by more than one user can be synchronized in the following ways:
Exclusive lock: The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a single user. A request for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
Shared lock: More than one user can access the locked data at the same time in display mode. A request for another shared lock is accepted, even if it comes from another user. An exclusive lock is rejected.
Exclusive but not cumulative: Exclusive locks can be requested several times from the same transaction and are processed successively. In contrast, exclusive but not cumulative locks can be called only once from the same transaction. All other lock requests are rejected.
Check out this thread:
LOCK OBJECT?

Vivek

Personal Records Program for Mac

Hi -
My wife and I are doing our wills, and are looking for a program that can present a record of our personal information (bank accounts, life insurance policies, safe deposit box, funeral plans, personal bequests, etc.), and wonder if anyone knows of a Mac program for OS X 10.4 and 10.5 that will allow us to enter and print information of that type. Thanks in advance for any help.
Shelly

What you are probably thinking of is a database: unfortunately there is a severe scarcity of these for Macs: Bento doesn't work on Tiger, Filemaker is expensive and difficult to use, the database section in Open Office is frankly a mess, and AppleWorks is no longer available.
However, there can't really be all that much information? - a few bank accounts, not a hundred, and so on: your simplest option is probably just to create an ordinary word processing document and decide on a layout to make the information clear: divide into sections, and type the information in. Do it as a rich text file in TextEdit and it will be readable for the foreseeable future, which is more than can be said of some database formats.

Paint/drawing program for Mac

Is there a (freeware) painting/drawing program for the Mac, such as MS Paint on wintel machines? My youngest used MS Paint for a number of school projects and I'd like to find a counterpart for use on the Mac. Thanks
iMac-Intel Mac OS X (10.4.5)

There is always The Gimp, but that might be a little complicated for a young person, of couse my 9 year old uses Photoshop, so if they aren't too young you might try it. You will need to first install X11, that comes on your system DVD that came with your mac.
Have you looked at http://www.chocoflop.com/ ? I've never used it but I saw someone else recommend it.

I need ready code for a simple paint program today

hi all I need ready code for a simple paint program today for me ics projct
plz give me a halp on this give me what you have with you and it is so good if it look like this :
Design a GUI based drawing Java application that works like a simple paint program
1-There should be a number of buttons for choosing different shapes to draw. For example, there should be a button for rectangle. If user presses the rectangle button, then he can draw a rectangle using mouse. Similarly, there should be a button for each shape(rectangle, circle, ellipse, and line etc.
2-The shapes can be filled with different colors.
3-There should be option of moving .
4- There should also be three menus including File, Shape, and Color menu.
i. File menu can have menu items New and Exit. If user selects New, the drawing area will be cleared and all shapes will be erased.
ii. Shape menu will serve the same purpose as of feature 2 described above. It will have menu items for drawing all the different shapes. For example, there will be menu item for rectangle; so user can draw a rectangle by selecting the menu item for rectangle.
iii. Color menu will serve the same purpose as of feature 3 described above. It will have menu items for all the colors which are shown in color buttons. The user can select a color from this menu and then click inside a shape to fill it with the selected color.

Read the Swing tutorial. There are sections on how to use menus and painting and all other kinds of stuff you need to do this homework assignment. Nobody here is going to write the code for you:

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

TS1702 how can i up load a program from my pc to my i pad ? do i first have to upload it to I tunes (its a mac program) or is there a plug in that has a usb on one end and apple plug on th other? i wnat to upload filemaker Pro for Mac to my i pad

Hello guys and thanks for trying to help me. I want to upload Mac programs that i have saved on my pc to my I Pad (the latest one) and do i have to upload it first to I Tunes and then down load it to the ipad and if so how do i do that (upload to i tunes)
Second, is there an Apple adapter ( i have off brand ones fro China that don't work and i was told they would. also one from a company in he US and it doesn't work)
One big question, if i upload (after you tell me how) FileMaker Pro Adv Mac to the I Pad can i create run time solutions from the ipad as if it were a laptop or computer or air book??? becuase that is the main reason i purchased the I Pad.
i really would like to get to use the i pad but don't know the first thing about Macs..

No, Mac programs and applications do not run on the iPad. an iPad is not a laptop. It can run only programs designed specifically for it and that are available only through the App Store.
Ipads are geared towards media consumption, not so much creation.
Perhaps what you should have bought is a MacBook Air rather than an iPad. A Macbook Air is a fulll laptop, than runs a full MacOsx and can run File Maker Pro.

I do not have a Mac but I want to give a software program for a Mac as a gift. I am not able to access the Mac store. Do I just get an iTunes card?

"Gift Card" is sometimes called a tacky gift, but if it allows the other person to get whatever they want it works.
Besides, anything purchased through App Store is usually "All Sales Final", so I think iTunes card is a good idea.

What Download Video Program for Mac is as Good as Orbit is for Windows??

12/29/2008. Friends, I have searched and searched and searched for a video download program for Mac that will download videos from almost any website besides just YouTube and such, but to no avail. The latest OrbitDownloader 2.8.1 for Windows is excellent and will do this for Windows on a PC. What similar download video program for Mac will perform as excellently or almost as good?? I've tried Firefox's Video Downloader Helper but can not get it to work. I've tried Mori but don't know how to get it to work. I've tried Perian but again don't know how to get it to work, I just get a window that says "Uninstall." I will really appreciate finding such a program for Mac, for my iBook G4 which has Leopard OS X 10.5.4 and WiFi. Many thanks. Chuck Y., Chicago

1/2/2009. Thank you all for your help. I love this wonderful feature I find about Apple Discussion Forums, so many friends. I did not know about Perian's instructions until you informed me. [www.perian.org/#watch] I'm glad that I gave the example of "POV Inheritance," because it is somewhat complex. First a person must locate the POV Inheritance website. For Perian, to go into Windows Activity at that point shows only that line. No one told me that I must click the wee arrow to the left of that line. Then a long drop list appears. But none of those help. So one must return to and on the website click "Watch the streaming video online" or ". . . now." That brings up another sub-website on which a person must click "Watch the Full Film." Then one can choose between five "chapters," and go into Windows Activity again. Then appears "net + public affairs player: video." Then one clicks the small arrow on the left of "net+ public affairs video" and sees 17 selections. All except one are small kbs. One has a large megabyte file. Select and Command + C that, and then go into Windows Downloads and Command + V [paste]. Then the download begins. And the person must do that for each of the five chapters. The other option is not to click any of the "chapters" but instead click "Watch the Full Film," and then click Windows Activity and then the small arrow left of "net + public affairs : video" and on the drop down list appear, among many, the five separate chapter files [the ones with large megabyte files], and continue as per a few lines above. The Perian procedure is simple. Getting to the line to be downloaded, in this case, is more complex, and so a good example from which to learn.
RealPlayer 11.0.0 [or 11.0.1] and its RealPlayer Downloader work very well too and may be simpler.
Thank you all and Happy New Year cruising with your Apple Macs. C. Yopst, Chicago

Does Apple have a trade-in program for 2009 iMac (to purchase a brand new iMac or Mac Pro?

I have an Apple iMac11,1 with 16Gb memory, 2 Tb drive, Superdrive, QuadCore 2.8 I7 processor, ATIU Radeon HD 4850 Graphics board with 512 VRam. I'm considering a new computer (either a new i7 iMac or the MacPro desktop) and was wondering if there is a used market within this community or if Apple has a trade-in program for older iMac's. Does anyone know?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no a trade-in program, but if you recycle it, you will get an Apple Gift Card with the value of the iMac that you can use to buy a new Mac at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store > http://www.apple.com/recycling
