Mini DVD-R use in Mac Book Pro Need help

I have several videos on Memorex Mini DVD-R discs that I am afraid to insert into the normal sized drive of my Mac Book Pro. Does anyone know of a product that can be used, such as an insert or "donut". I would like to upload these videos and have looked on the Memorex website and elsewhere.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello and welcome to discussions,
You are right to be wary of inserting these mini disks. They will almost certainly get stuck and thereby stick you with a potentially large bill.
I do not know of any maker of a " doughnut " or mechanical work around. One way I have come across, though, is as follows...
Find a computer that has a locking ring or holder for disks, upload the data onto said computer, burn data to a normal sized CD and then transfer data to required computer.
Its not elegant but it does work and does not cost anything more than some time.
Regards.
Ian.

Help! I have a Used Mac Book Pro need help with apps update

My ex bought me a mac book pro and purchased all of the apps and uploaded the apps under is apple id. I just recently update the new software now i can't get access to iPhoto, and other apps because its asking me for my password but his apple id coming up is there any way i re install these apps under my apple id. Please help I can used iPhoto.

You cannot use or upgrade anything that is registered with his Apple ID. You must re-purchase it all using your Apple ID and your iTunes account. This includes the operating system as well. Essentially, you erase the drive and start from scratch. Here's how to get started:
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. You can decide which apps you want to purchase (or download free) from the App Store where you will set up your own account and your own Apple ID if you don't have one.

I'm new to mac book pro need help with the dock

'm new to mac book pro and I accidentally delete from the dock the Utilities and Documents Icon. How do I put it back?
I already tried moving from

Eric's right, but an additional tip;
Make sure the folders and other non-app shortcuts you'd like on the dock go on the right hand side of the little median (looks like a road median), and place them directly between two other items. They will only shortcut onto the dock if you see the Dock make space for it.

New MAC book pro-need help figuring out Paraellels

Hey all -yes I have come to the good side but I still need to install Paraellels -since most of my programs right now are windows. SOrry
I have Paraellels installed but how do I tell Paraellels how much space to use the mac HD for windows --I wanna use 15gb for windows --SHould I have partitioned the MAC HD for 15gb to install windows on-
Im on Paraellels now and its asking me to insert eh windows disk but i dont wanna install anything if i need to go back and do something.
Matt

I know that you don't need a separate partition for Parallels to work. Essentially it creates a special file on your computer that acts kind of like a virtual computer when Parallels is running. Windows is actually installed into this file. So to answer your question about partitioning, no, there's no need for a separate partition.
Unfortunately I don't use Parallels so can't help with the rest. The advice in the other reply is your best bet. They'll be more intimately familiar with Parallels over there.

my confusion is that shall i consider the APPLECARE PLAN....the plan is almost 20% of the laptops cost....Will spending so much money be worth it

Like any other insurance, it's only worth it if you have a problem. I've purchased it on my "high risk" Macs and not purchased on the others. So far I've never needed it.

can I use my mac book pro in ireland without a converter? meaning just use my USA plug with an adapter (not voltage converter) in the socket?

Can I use my Mac book pro while downloading a tv series from iTunes?

Can I use my Mac book pro while downloading a long tv series from iTunes? Or will I lose my connection ? And my money?

I use my MacBook Pro all the time when downloading something from the iTunes store without losing my connection. If you would probably depends on the general stability of your WiFi or LAN connection, but you should not.
Also, if a download should get interrupted you can always start it again by going to "Downloads" in iTunes.
