New to Mac. Help with DVD please?

I just got my new MacBook... first time with mac. Can someone tell me how to save a dvd onto the computer? I have 120G hard drive. I was wondering how much memory does each movie take up? I am going to Europe and would like to download about 6 movies so I don't have to take them with me. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!

Sure it's possible.You have plenty of room for 6 movies.Most movies are about 4.5-7 GB's
Here's the software you'll need.---> http://www.flip4mac.com/drivein.htm
Enjoy you're trip.

New to Mac, Help with Time Machine! Partition External HDD or not?

Hey Guys I'm a new mac user
I need help with time machine
I wanted to know how time machine works and what all does it back up?
I have 2 hard drives one is of 1TB and one is of 320gb
In the 1TB hard drive i store all my music videos and work stuff it is windows formatted
The 320gb hard drive is mac formatted and I was thinking of making a partition on it one with 250gb for time machine and the remaining 70 gb for mac softwares and files. The ssd of my mac has a capacity of 256gb. I have read for time machine you need at least 2x the space of your ssd on your external hard drive but i don't understand if my ssd is only 256 and can store files worth 256gb why do i need double the space? Secondly if I choose to use the complete 320 gb for time machine will that be okay or even if i choose to partition it to 250gb for time machine will that be fine too? Or will I need to format my 1TB hard disk out of which currently only 300 gb is empty and partition that to 500 gb for time machine?
I'm really confused every tells me to use time machine but do I need it? And what does it exactly do?
Your input will be really appreciate thanks

The reason that you want a partition (or drive) of 2-3 times the size of your boot drive for Time Machine is so that you can keep backups further back than just the current boot drive state - for that you'd need to make a clone of the drive rather than using Time Machine (see -> http://pondini.org/TM/Clones.html).
For more information for backups in general, see -> Most commonly used backup methods.
Note that you can't use Time Machine to backup a Windows partition.
Good luck,

New to MAC -help with previous systems folder -this should be an easy one!

My PowerBook G4 (running Leopard) recently crashed due to some corrupt files, per the Genius Bar. I got it up and running with the Leopard upgrade disc as they recommended. Everything went well and on the HD it created a "Previous Systems" folder and everything is in there... (old applications, documents, etc. ... Now what do I do?
Do I just run the applications (iWork, MS Office, Adobe products, etc.) from that "Previous Systems" folder or should I drag and drop them to the new applications folder, or is it better to delete and reinstall all the programs again? And if I have already opened some of the applications from the Previous Systems" folder will this prevent me from moving them.
I just want to clean up my laptop and keep it simple... What is the safe and easy thing to do?
Thanks for all the help... this site is what influenced me to switch from PC to MAC !

New to Numbers, help with formula please.

I am trying to find the formula which best does the following for me.
I have a spread sheet with four colums.
Colum A. Shows Text, heading of locations, eg Home, Away, Hotel etc. Then beside these columns i have the days i arrive and depart the locations. The forth column shows the total of nights spent in each type of accommodation
Eg
Ongoing Table
Home          Date          Date          5
Away           Date          Date          5
Home          Date          Date          5
Hotel          Date          Date          5
Home          Date          Date          5
Hotel          Date           Date           5
Away          Date          Date          5
As this in an ongoing list, I am looking to have a section that will automatically and continually add up the total nights I spend in different types of accommodation. So, in summary I can look at it the following way
Summary Table
Home          15
Away          10
Hotel          10
So that when I enter in a separate line in my ongoing table, it automatically keeps the running tally in my Summary Table.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dolmio,
Let's say that your log table is named Ongoing. The expression in your summary table, column B, would be:
=SUMIF(Ongoing :: A, A, Ongoing :: D)

HT201066 I have problem with recently with playing DVDs on my iMac. the problem only with DVDs, please anybody can help me solve this problem?

I have problem with recently with playing DVDs on my iMac. the problem only with DVDs, please anybody can help me solve this problem?

Get a lens cleaner disc. One with brushes and try that. CDs and DVDs use different lenses, so since CDs load and play, I strongly suspect a dirty lens.

New 27" iMac; Glitch with DVD drive

Just got my new refurbished 27" iMac yesterday(my first mac computer ever) and after starting up and playing around few things, I tried to play DVD and it would not accept any DVDs including the setup dvd that came with iMac.
After talking with tech support they asked me to powered down and take out the power plug for few second and restarting the mac solved the issue with DVD.
Not sure how did powering down and restarting helped with DVD in this case. Should I be worried about this DVD drive?
Thanks,
Jeegar.

I guess at least it is now working - I have just bought one myself and just been shipped. First refurb Mac i have ever bought so fingers crossed...

Help with message please: Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line

I would really appreciate some help with my search & results page that is now throwing up the following error:
Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line (the line number refers to the following code:
mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale);
mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2);
mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3);
mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4);
I am new to php and am setting up a dynamic site in Dreamweaver (thanks to the Missing Manual – very helpful). I apologise in advanced for my lengthy description of the problem (perhaps get yourself a drink before continuing!)
I have a Search page with 4 list menus where the user can select an option from ANY or ALL of the menus, if a menu is not selected the value posted to the results page will be 'zzz'.
On the results page I have 4 recordsets, all getting the correct results, only one recordset is required to run depending on how many of the menus from the search page have been selected and a test is run before executing the sql using a SWITCH statement checking how many of the menus had passed the 'zzz' values from the Search page if you see what I mean. The results page has Repeating Regions, Recordset Paging and Display Record Count. The exact result that I require are generated by this method.
THE PROBLEM, when a user makes a selection the first page of 10 results is fine, but the error message above is shown at the bottom of the page, AND when the user clicks NEXT to go to the next page of results THERE ARE NO RESULTS.
This is exactly what happens depending on how many menus selected and which recordset is used:
4 menus selected from Search: runs RSsearchforsale, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct results found. NEXT page is empty of results and still shows the correct display record count as if it should be displaying the records, also has the same 3 error messages.
3 menus selected from Search: runs RsSearchForSale2, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct number of results. NEXT page shows results from the DEFAULT setting of the recordset and the Display record count reflects this new set of results. Also still shows the 3 mysql_free_results for RsSearchForSale2, 3 and 4.
2 menus selected from Search: runs   RsSearchForSale3, results correct but 2 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale) & mysql_free_result (RsSearchForSale4). The display record count is correct. NEXT page does exactly the same as described in above 3 menus selected.
1 menu selected from search: runs RsSearchForSale4, results correct but 1 error meaasge on 1st page, mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale). Display record count is correct and again when NEXT page is selected does as described in above where 2 or 3 menus selected.
If you have gotten this far without falling asleep then thank you and well done! I have pasted my code below and I know its a lot to ask but please please can you give me an idea as to where or why I have gone wrong. I felt I was so close at perfecting this search and have been working on it for weeks now. I feel sure the problem is because I have 4 recordsets on the page but I could find no other way to get the exact results I wanted from the menus.
Looking forward to any help.

Hi David,
Thank you for your reply and patience, we are getting closer in spite of me!
Of course i needed to change the name of the recordset, i did that the first time i did it (when i got the error), the when i re did it i forgot, in my defense i was also trying to get a full understanding of the code using the W3Schools php reference and writing by the side of the code on a piece of paper what it meant in English.
Anyway after re doing the code correctly it still displayed all the records of my database but i realised that was because i was POSTING from the search form and when i changed it to the GET method I now get results when all 4 list menus are selected from and the paging works. After reading about the POST / GET method i chose the POST option, is the GET method a better option in my circumstance?
On my site now if the user selects from 1,2 or 3 of the menus rather than selecting the relevant records it displays the NO RESULT page, I would like my users to be able to select from all of the menus or ANY combination of the menus and find exact results for their search, for example if they only select a location and a price i want it display all records that match that location and price with any number of bedrooms and any Type of property: Perhaps this is due to how my list menus are set up, for each menu the first Item label is Location (or Beds or Type or Price) and the value i have left blank which i believe means that it will use the item label as the value, the second Item label for all menus is Any and again the value has been left blank. All other item labels have values relevant to database records.
I do look forward to your reply and cannot thank you enough for following this through with me, please continue to bare with me just a little more,
best regards
Tessimon

You're not adding the WHERE clause to the SQL query. My example code uses $query_search. You need to change that variable to match the name of your recordset, i.e. $query_RSsearchforsale.
Moreover, the WHERE clause needs to go before ORDER BY.
$query_RSsearchforsale = "SELECT trueprice,`desc`, `propid`, `bathrooms`, `location`, `type`, `price`, `beds`, `photo1`, locationtable.loc, typetable.style, bedtable.`number` FROM detailstable JOIN locationtable ON detailstable.location=locationtable.locid JOIN typetable ON detailstable.type=typetable.typeid JOIN pricetable ON detailstable.price=pricetable.priceid JOIN bedtable ON detailstable.beds=bedtable.bedid ";
// Set a flag to indicate whether the query has a WHERE clause
$where = false;
// Loop through the associatiave array of expected search values
foreach ($expected as $var => $type) {
if (isset($_GET[$var])) {
    $value = trim(urldecode($_GET[$var]));
    if (!empty($value)) {
      // Check if the value begins with > or <
      // If so, use it as the operator, and extract the value
      if ($value[0] == '>' || $value[0] == '<') {
        $operator = $value[0];
        $value = ltrim(substr($value, 1));
      } elseif (strtolower($type) != 'like') {
        $operator = '=';
      // Check if the WHERE clause has been added yet
      if ($where) {
        $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' AND ';
      } else {
        $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' WHERE ';
        $where = true;
      // Build the SQL query using the right operator and data type
      $type = strtolower($type);
      switch($type) {
        case 'like':
          $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` LIKE " . GetSQLValueString('%' .
$value . '%', "text");
          break;
        case 'int':
        case 'double':
        case 'date':
          $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` $operator " .
GetSQLValueString($value, "$type");
          break;
        default:
        $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` = " . GetSQLValueString($value,
"$type");
$query_RSsearchforsale .= ' ORDER BY detailstable.trueprice ASC';

Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just a little frantic right now. I was just posting a new thread to help with recapturing instead of focusing on getting back the files. My apologies.

Help! New to Mac - compatability with DVI and JVC HDTV

Hope someone can help. I'm new to mac and have just bought a mac mini and a JVC LT32DS HDTV to use as a media centre. I've scanned through the hundreds of postings on the DVI problem with the mac and would like an idiots guide (literally!)as how to set the mini to work with the JVC TV.
Following the advice I've got the two working witha VGA connection but once I use the DVI/HDMI (profigold)cable the screen is not stable and keeps flashing in and out view. I've tried various resolution settings but get no stability. I've read about Switch Res X but don't really know if this is the right way to go.

I went to "Mediamarkt" and tried two Philips HDTVs
1) 26PF5320
2) 26PF9320
TV 1) had no problem accepting the DVI signal from the mini at all the native resolutions I tried (no extra software). TV 2) -- originally my favoured one -- had a barely noticeable overscan on the menubar.
So I bought the 26PF5320: a bit cheaper but also higher native resolution.
So it pays to compare even similar models. Retailers will understand the situation. However, it's important to go on a slow day -- not on Saturday -- and maybe hurry up before Christmas. Understandably they don't want to spend too much time on demonstrations when the store is full of potential customers.
The young man from the store was very impressed with the mini. Less impressed with Quicktime and that you have to pay to get a full-screen video. But that's another story.
I was able to carry the TV and the mini (the latter in a backpack) from the store to the tram and then from the tram stop to home. Just two year ago this would have been science-fiction.
I will try to collect more data on HDTV/mini matches and mismatches and maybe put it in an ASCII table for a start.

Need Help with Printer Please

I am a new MAC user. So please, if you have a solution for me, speak slowly. (LOL)
I have the new G5. Bought the Epson printer to go with it. It's the CX4200.
I loaded the software for it. But can't get it to print. It seems the computer won't or can't find it in their list of printers.
Ok, so I go to a Word Doc., for example. And select print. The window says that I need to select a printer. I hit the arrow down button and there's my printer listed. So I choose that, but still won't print. Seems I have to go down to another line in the same box and find the printer in this long list. There are many Epsons listed but not mine, which is the CX4200.
And darn-it, tech support on the phone is closed at 6pm!!!??? I sure hope to see a reply soon. I really need to print something tonight.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
My personal e-mail is

Thanks!
Cary
PS: This process asked me to choose an OS for my G5. I have no idea what my OS is. All's I know is I have a G5. Gosh, I feel soooo dumb!

What have you done so far?
I suggest you connect it via a usb cable first. Once you get the printer working, move to wifi. You will have to use an existing printer usb cable or purchase a cable. Be sure to get the correct cable. Ask for help.
The warrenty indicates there is phone support. Give HP a call.

Can I install OS 10.4 DVD on G3 B&W (CD-ROM only) from Mac Mini with DVD?

I have G3 B&W 400Mhz 384Mb memory 9Gb hard drive.
It has CD-ROM, Zip Drive, Firewire, USB & Ethernet and currenty running on OS 10.2.
I'd like to upgrade to OS 10.4, but it's on DVD.

If you mean the 10.4 DVD is a full-retail copy for any machine, not the version that came with the Mac mini.
