Reinstalling iDVD via OS X utilities application onto the SSD but SSD is "locked."

Trying to reinstall iDVD via OS X utilities app.  I have two HDs, an SSD and a reg one.  All my applications are on the SSD.   The OS X utilities application won't let me reinstall iDVD on the SSD, telling me it's "locked".   I can't select the SSD, it only gives the 2 TB HD as an option to reinstall.  Help?

Yes, that worked.  Thank you.
Now the issue is that I'm not able to select "Customize" after selecting the HD to do the install on.  I'd really rather not reinstall everything because of data backup issues and such.

  • I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive.  I have an external WD hard-drive; is it possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my mac?

    I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook 10.6.7 but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive.  I have an external WD hard-drive, and I was wondering if it is possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my Mac? 

    I think you're confused about how much hard drive space you have.  You probably have 2 GB of RAM...  there hasn't been a Mac shipped with only a 2 GB hard drive in a while.  At the bottom of any Finder window, how much space is available?
    If you're actually running low on space, you should move documents to the external drive, since many applications want to be on the system drive.

  • Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3, The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?

    Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3,
    The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
    Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
    Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

    Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
    Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
    Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.

  • I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

    I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.  My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8.  DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
    However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops.  My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9.  The DVD Player is version 4.0.  My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2.  The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0.  The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

    Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
    Are you using iCloud?
    For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

  • HT201269 I backed up my 3GS using iTunes. I then restored the file to my new 4GS. Then I synced the apps onto the 4GS. Then I downloaded 2 custom ringtones, and attempted to sync them onto the 4GS, but it says "This Library is already synced with another

    I backed up my 3GS using iTunes. I then restored the file to my new 4GS. Then I synced the apps onto the 4GS. Then I downloaded 2 custom ringtones, and attempted to sync them onto the 4GS, but it says "This Library is already synced with another phone, and if you try to sync, you will lose all of the information on the iPhone." I am a Windows user. This Sync process is VERY confusing.

    How can I possibly get these two new ringtones onto the iPhone without wiping out everything else on the phone? This Sync process is nuts.
    I have Backed Up the phone twice. Why would iTunes try to wipe out the phone?

    While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

  • HT1719 i have got the music downloaded onto the computer, but got my shuffle plugged into computer but cant get the music onto the shuffle. can anyone help.!!

    hi ; i got the music from the i-tune store downloaded onto the computer but got th shuffle plugged in but cant get it from computer onto shuffle. help please.

    It depends on your shuffle type, and whether you want to do it manually or using automatic syncing.  It seems like you linked off of the document that describes how to load content to your shuffle.  This one
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
    If you tried following the steps in the document, where did you run into problems?  That document also shows the four types of shuffles.  Which one do you have?  Which method from that document are you trying to use?
    NOTE:  In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.

  • Unable to deploy the application onto the server (soadev)

    You need to remove the existing instance of the application from the server - either from the WebLogic Console or directly from JDeveloper:

    Hi Feelingcheated,
    Restoring your iPod makes it return to factory settings, making it work like a completely new iPod, thus deleting all media, including music, photos, videos, movies etc., and any files you may have stored on it whilst using it as an external hard drive in disk mode. It will only delete files stored on the iPod, so if you have 'Song A' on your iPod and in your iTunes library, when you restore the iPod it will be deleted from the iPod but will remain in your iTunes library.
    Music ripped from CDs should also remain in the iTunes library, but just in case, right click the songs you ripped (press shift to select more than one song) and click on 'Show in Windows Explorer'. Then, copy the music files from the folder in Windows Explorer to a folder in another directory, (eg. Music), to make a backup. Though this is not necessary, I recommend it as iTunes can be unpredictable at times. Purchased music can always be downloaded again, but it shouldn't delete itself.
    If your whole music collection is on your iPod again you could try pressing the 'Sync all music' button in iTunes in the iPod directory, which should automatically sync all playlists and songs like it used to, but it might not work. In the end a restore should help but bare in mind that you might have problems syncing music in large quantities again, so be prepared to methodically add more songs like explained in the other post. Hope this helps.
    Good Luck,
    Stefan
