Plus and minus DVD format on new g5's..... Can I upgrade?

I see on the new g5's that they list plus and minus format dvd burning cabability. Can I upgrade to that ability? The current drive is very picky about media. Memorex 8x won't work. Tdk 8x will. Tdk 16x won't . I find it very annoying. It looks like there is a multiformat drive already in my g5's. How can I make them burn both plus and minus? I am running 0s 10.4.6 Is there a better drive that is not so picky? Thanks

What software are you using to burn with?
If you're using software that allows you to select the burn speed (e.g. Toast), what speed are you burning at?
Can you describe what happens when the burns don't work? Do you get an error message, does the burn just stop partway through, etc.?
From my experience, the Pioneer is less finicky, but this is just from anecdotal evidence as I've only used Pioneer drives, with the exception of the burner in my PowerBook which is a Matsushita.
I'm reluctant to suggest buying a new drive. Is there any particular reason that +R burning is necessary? If the students bought them and the drive doesn't like them, maybe they can exchange the unused discs. Or, it might be helpful to try several different brands (I know you've already tried Memorex and TDK). Maybe try some Maxell and Verbatim.
The Pioneer drives can be found for between $40 and $50. One of the best things about the Pioneers is that they periodically release firmware updates to the drives to enable new media to be used and to improve burn reliability. I believe OSX 10.4.6 is the first to provide native support for a non-OEM DVR-110.

Plus and minus keys on wireless keyboard?

hi there everyone. i've got a new aluminum wireless keyboard and i love it to bits. gorgeous bit of design and elegance. on the previous apple keyboard however there was a couple of handy keys next to the numeric pad for 'plus' and 'minus'. Does anyone know how i can find these on the wireless keyboard? these were particularly handy when hit with the 'command' key to increase or decrease the size of text in safari.

excellent, thank you, i'd obviously not looked at my keyboard closely enough! cheers...

Actually, in the US at least the website states
You can recycle your iPhone at the Apple Retail Store and get immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one.**

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

Restart with the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD in the drive or with the Lion USB drive connected, hold down the Option key just after the restart, tab to the installation disk, and press Enter. If the computer has a firmware password set, it needs to be provided for this to work.

So, just so I have this straight; would CS upgrade to CS5 or did you mean I would have to purchase CS5 to upgrade to CS6? And If so, does CS upgrade any further? i.e. CS 3 or 4? Thanks for your reply --
CS will not upgrade to CS5. Historically, only CS2-CS4 ever qualified for upgrade to CS5. Those versions are all long superseded and no longer available from Adobe.
Adobe currently only sells CS6 (for outright purchase) and the Cloud (by subscription only). Cloud members have access to both CS6 and CC.
The only way to upgrade to CS6 is from CS5. Adobe no longer sells CS5. Unless you purchase the full version of CS5 from elsewhere (I don't see any point in that in this case) you would not be able to upgrade to CS6. You'd have to buy the full version of CS6. Or subscribe to one of the Cloud plans. PS+LR is an excellent deal if you use those products.

I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity?

I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity? I purchased a faster drive initially, but has 200 GB capacity. I am running out of room and would like to upgrade for more space if possible.
Can anyone suggest an alternative?

You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

Accordian panel with plus and minus signs to indicate state of panel

I want the text to show [+] next to the title of the panel when it is collapsed and [-] when it is expanded
just like http://www.reddit.com/r/indesign/comments/1jewqq/custom_kerning_applied_to_a_single_charac ter/
the comments on this page can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the plus or minus sign
how do i do this?

I've started filling the accordion with my content and the
cookie works fine. But I see some things I'd like to have changed
if possible?
a) When I load the page all accordion panels flips open at
the same time and they stay open until the page has loaded. It's
probably not visible in the demo because it's only a few bytes to
load there. After the page has loaded the cookied panel stays open
and the rest of the panels close. Is it possible to hide the
loading of the panels somehow? This is kinda messy right now.
b) I'd like to use the cookie to control the panels but only
during the current session. When a new session occurs I'd like to
start with all panels closed a) (or use the script that states
default panel). The standard accordion use a small script to set
the default open panel. I tried modifying this script but it looks
like the accordion is following the laws of the cookie and is now
ignoring this script.
Panel 4 set to be default (0, 1, 2, 3):
<script type="text/javascript">
var Accordion1 = new
Spry.Widget.Accordion.prototype("Accordion3");
</script>
