Moving to UK from Canada: Will format 1 DVDs work on Macbook from UK store?

Hello,
I am going to be moving to London, and I understand that the DVDs there are a different format than the ones in North America. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether my old DVDs will work on a Macbook purchased from the UK Apple store. I know some DVD players play all DVD formats from around the world, but I was curious if a UK Macbook would only play format 2 or format 1 as well.
Thanks!

good grief! pay attention please.
Er, strikes me that you should. As far as anyone here knows OP doesn't even have a MacBook yet, or indeed any kind of Mac. He/she doesn't say so. Just to clarify I've marked the salient points in bold.

  • Will Final Cut express work with MacBook Pro??

    I am new to Mac and got my first Mac, MacBook pro. 2.4GHZ - 2.o Gig Memory.
    Will this be enough or is there an hardware requirement that macbook pro does not come with?
    iMovie 08 does not have the effects I was using in the old PC. Slow motion, combining many audio tracks, cross fade etc.
    Thanks

    Final Cut Pro is the same program (to all intents and purposes) as Final Cut Express and requires the same power of computer - no more, no less.
    For most people, FCP will not do anything that FCE can't - apart from allowing you to use formats such as DVCPRO etc. that amateurs are unlikely to use. All the filters and transitions are exactly the same except for a couple of insignificant ones.
    The only reason for buying FCP is in order to get all the other programs that are bundled with it.

  • Will Logic pro 9 work on Macbook Pro 10.8.3 ?

    I have just got a new Macbook pro and want to install Logic 9 on it as my old Logic 8 discs do not install.
    Are these two compatible?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The problem with Logic (8) Studio disks is that the Installer will not run as it is PPC only.
    It is possible to install and run Logic 8 on Mountain Lion using Pacifist to do the installation
    see my posts here
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3935523?start=0&tstart=150
    Alternatively, buy Logic 9 from the AppStore

  • I have a older macbook 10.5.8 version, will a new itouch work with macbook

    I would like to purchase a new Itouch but my Mac is 10.5.8 version. Do I have to buy a new Mac in order to use a new itouch?

    No. You will need at least 10.6.8.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • How do I delete a folder that I moved to Trash from my external backup drive when a virus was detected? Trash will not delete the folder.

    I have tried unsuccessfully to remove a folder from Trash. My anti-virus program (Sophos) detected a virus which had to  be manually removed. I tried (unsuccessfully) to find and remove the infected file. I moved the Folder from my external backup drive and placed it in Trash. Now I cannot get Trash to delete the folder. It asks me if I wish to delete "unlocked" or "all" items. Either selection does not delete the folder. I went to change the permissions to "read & write" and unlocked the folder, but it is still there. I tried to "move" the folder from Trash back to the external harddrive but it seems I can only "copy" it and not "move" it. I am afraid that by copying it, I will not have the folder in two locations (Trash & External HD).
    Would appreciate any suggestions and guidance on this. I hope that I have explained the problem clearly!
    Thank you!

    Before deleting it we should know more about this folder and its contents.
    If it is invected and is using other apps, or other apps are still using it, then it cannot be deleted in the normal manner.
    You might contact Sophos and ask them about it.
    If you are using TM or have a backup of your system before the infection occurred, then you can delete the item(s) in Trash, but there is the possiblity of system corruption and the need for a reinstall, if any of these files are necessary for the OS to work properly, even though they are infected.
    Sophos may not have been able to remove the infection from inside a file which is why they suggested manual removal.
    You might consider downloading and running ClamXav first and see if it can't do better than Sophos.
    All that being said, you can always remove the contents of the Trash using the terminal. Usually as administrator, or in some cases as root (su). Unless you are very familiar with the terminal I do not suggest doing this without some study.

  • Im from canada and going to spain will a spaniard sim work on a canadian iphone?

    im from canada and going to spain will a spaniard sim work on a canadian iphone?

    If your phone is officially unlocked and the Spanish sim you want to use is from a supported iPhone carrier, you will have no issues. If your phone is not officially unlocked, you can't use any sim other than a sim from the carrier your phone is locked to. So, is your phone officially unlocked?

  • When moving my iphone from one computer to another, the apps do not follow and if I purchase an app on the new computer, it seems that all previous apps on the iphone will be lost   How do I import the previous apps to the new computer?

    When moving my iphone from one itunes computer to another, the apps installed on the original computer do not show on the new one.  How do I get those apps to be recognized on the new computer without deleting them all from my iphone as it asks. 

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • I recently moved to USA from Canada. I have not changed my apple id but I have changed my phone and computer. Is there a way to retrieve my purchased music via iTunes? I checked what was available to download and only got a few digital booklets.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • HT1296 I just bought a new MacBook Pro and moved data over from my old MacBook Pro.   Everything seemed fine at first but Outlook 2011 for Mac will not run.  It just flashes the Outlook logo briefly and then closes.  Help!

    Everything seemed to work fine after moving everything over from my old MacBook Pro at first but I cannot run Outlook 2011 for Mac.  The logo displays briefly and then the app closes.  It never really even gets anything loaded other than the little logo.

    Try removing and reinstalling Outlook
    Next try posting in a more appropriate forum. this is the iPod touch forum

  • Moving Excel Spreadsheets from Work to Home

    I have had this problem for the past month. The problem is when moving Excel
    spreadsheets from home to work only (1) out of (6) will not open. It says there is not enough memory. The other spreadsheets are larger so I know the allocation is ok. The work computer is an IMac running system 9.2, the home
    computers are a G4 IMac and a G3 IBook. Both of these are running Tiger 10.4.4. These spreadsheets open on both of these Tiger computers.
    I use a 128MB USBDrive for moving files back and forth. One thing I have noticed recently is that when opening at work the Icons say PC. I have a newer version of Excel at home, cannot load that version at work because it is not compatible with system 9.2.
    Help????????

    Hi, klugej -
    I don't use OSX, so can't suggest a method there. However, in OS 9, try highlighting the icon of the drive (click on it once), then select Erase from the Special menu. With luck, that will offer one of the Mac formats (probably Mac OS Standard) as well as MS-DOS.

  • Moving LCM Jobs from one LCM server to another

    I have just built a new proof of concept LCM server (3.1 SP3 FP3.7).  My aim is to migrate the content from our current production LCM server (3.1 SP2 FP2.5) to the POC LCM server.  I have been able to migrate the subversion repository.  I have been able to migrate custom access levels and users etc.
    I want to migrate the actual LCM jobs stored within LCM itself from production LCM to POC LCM server.  Should be able to do this with LCM itself or Import Wizard but neither work.
    Import Wizard produces and error against each LCM Job as follows, "Failed to create a new CrystalEnterprise.LCMJob. reason: Item SI_NEWOBJECT was not found in the collection"
    LCM itself does not show the LCM jobs when adding objects to a job.  It will show the Sub Folders under the main LCM folder (which contain the specific jobs I'm looking to migrate) but not the jobs themselves.  Selecting one of the sub LCM folders and clicking the "Add & Close" button results in this error;
    Sorry, LCM application is unable to process your request.
    The error from the server is: Failed to get dependencies of the job.com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKServerException: CMS operation timed out after 9 minutes. cause:com.crystaldecisions.enterprise.ocaframework.idl.OCA.oca_abuse: IDL:img.seagatesoftware.com/OCA/oca_abuse:3.2 detail:CMS operation timed out after 9 minutes.
