My ibook doesnt have a superdrive.. how do i acquire it?

Hello,
I recently discovered that I could not burn files on to a DVD if my ibook doesn't have a superdrive; I thought I had a superdrive included..
If anyone knows how I could acquire a superdrive and the approximate cost... please let me know.
My ibook has a processor of 1.33GHz
and the memory is 768MB DDR SDRAM.
Thanks..

The drive you would need is a Panasonic UJ-845-B slim slot load 8x DVD±R DL. You can find them online for $105-$135. This is the same DVD burner that is in the iMac G5.
Installing it may be another matter however. You would undoubtedly void your warranty and taking apart iBooks is not for the faint-of-heart, but it can be done!
If you are burning at home, it would be better to buy an external Firewire DVD burner. I have an OWC dual layer burner that blazes, burning DVD-R's in about 6 min. It is based on a Pioneer burner and supports a higher speed dual layer burning than the internal model. About $140 at www.macsales.com

Itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?

new to itunes, used windows media player before that and always ripped music directly to an external hardrive and accessed it through the player. now that i downloaded itunes it is taking from the external hardrive and copying a second file for each song onto my lap top hard drive which does not have the capacity for all my music. as itunes converts music files i want them saved back onto my external drive or another location i have space for rather than the lap top. how do i change the setting to move the itunes media folder to another location. assuming that hitting copy and past and dropping it in a random location will cause a few errors.

When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

My macbook air doesnt have iMessage. How do i download this application?

My macbook air doesnt have iMessage. The apple website says it should be on here but it isnt. How do i download this application?

Messages was released in the summer of 2012, with the 10.8 (Mountain Lion) version of the Mac operating system. If you got your MBA before that and haven't upgraded the OS, it won't be there.
You can upgrade to the latest OS version (Yosemite) for free from the Mac App Store, and that will include Messages.
Hope that helps

Why ibooks doesnt have dictionaries in other languages?

So how likely is for me to find an spanish dictionary in ibooks in the upcoming IOS6?

Ren S. wrote:
currently IOS5 already has a spanish discionary, so I don't understand what are you refering to.
He said he wants a Spanish dictionary for iBooks. That means he wants a reference dictionary to look up the meaning of words. iOS 5 only has a spell checking dictionary, which is of no use with iBooks.

If you are hosting it on MobileMe, current info suggests it won't exist once the transistion to iCloud occurs.

Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

You get a new phone not made for KSA and UAE markets. There is no way to get FT on your phone as it has been permanently crippled by law.

Download it from Adobe. I doubt Lightroom 2 will run correctly on a new Mac that probably came with OS X 10.10.

How do i connect my apple tv to my tv but it doesnt have an hdmi input

How do i connect my apple tv to my tv if my tv doesnt have an hdmi input ??? i have the apple tv 2 and didnt realize when i bought it so what cord do i need to make it work ???

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

On the new phone, Settings App > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When it is done it will ask if you want to Restore From iCloud Backup, pick this.

Please, help me :)

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.
