Used utilities to burn dvd but its too big 5.5gb and dvd-r is only 4.7gb
this is all new to me so bear with me! ( and i thought macs were idiot proof!
have burnt dvd using utilities it was 5.5gb but the disc i want to burn to is only dvd-r @4.7gb how do i get it onto a dvd to play on my tv/dvd player, (do i need to get a double sided dvd-r, will that help?)
At least three options i see here:
1. Roxio Toast fit to disc or
2. Try an alternate DL DVD-R media like:
3. or break your project into 2 separate iDvd projects and use the above. (do not confuse the above media with DL which is entirely different media).

I have buy 4s it's unlocked and its working ok with different carriers in Bahrain, but in Pakistan I try to use different carriers's sims but its showing sim is not valid , not compatible? any one please help me out this?
Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

You can likely download the last compatible version by:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists. -
My os x mavericks got crashed accidentely while installing the windows 8 and I am trying to reinstall using recovery console, but its take very long time and forcing me to download OS X mountain lion from internet, is there any where can I get offline download of OS file where I can install directely OS X Mavericks.
Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed. -

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support. -

Water damage is totally unpredictable. If it was salt water the phone is definitely dead. If it was not you MAY be able to recover it by putting it in a sealed plastic bag full of uncooked plain rice (not quick cooking or "converted") for at least a week without attempting to turn it on. Better yet, if you can get silica gel easily that works better than rice. If you have tried to turn it on it may be too late for this. -
i bought mew iphone 5c i want to copy songs from my laptop but its all in mp3 format and i installed itunes in my laptop and synced all songs are sit in my iphone.but my doubt is iphone support only itunes na.then how mp3songs played????
Hello there,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to sync music to your iPhone, you will need to use iTunes on your computer, and then follow the directions in the article linked to below.

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

Should I invest in purchasing Toast 9 to burn my standard DVDs? So many people keep talking about using Toast to burn the disc instead of using iDVD...is there a reason for this?
iDVD and Toast take very different approaches to serve users' desires in making video DVDs. iDVD has wonderful motion menus with sound while Toast has basic still, silent menus. iDVD is very limited in the video formats it can use for the source while Toast accepts a broad variety of video formats. iDVD only authors with uncompressed PCM audio while Toast can author with compressed Dolby Digital AC-3 audio which can leave more space for a higher video bit rate. Toast also has custom encoding settings whereas iDVD doesn't let you modify its settings.
What this means is Toast can't compare to iDVD and iDVD can't compare to Toast depending on what the user wants to have in a video DVD. Of course Toast does a lot more than create video DVDs.
If iDVD is meeting your needs then I'd say you don't need Toast for that purpose, but may want it anyway for other reasons. If you are finding iDVD too limited or too much work then I recommend Toast (or Popcorn 3) to give you more options.
As a disclaimer, I very rarely use iDVD because I usually don't have need for its menus, I prefer AC-3 audio on my DVDs and the source for many of my projects are existing MPEG 2 videos that would need to be re-encoded for use in iDVD. So I'm biased toward Toast. It doesn't mean I think Toast is "better"; just better for my needs. -
Exporting MiniDV (SD) Projects to hard drive from iMOVIE & then use them to burn DVDs
I am trying to export all my MiniDv files I have already uploaded to iMovie creating multiple projects. I wanted to export the best quality movie possible that is also great for burning DVDs. I have been using h.264, but haven't much success. Should I be using mpeg4 (h.264) or Quicktime (h.264)? Also, the bite rates have been throwing me off as well. I have tried 5000 kbits/sec and that was so so. I went down from there to 3000 to 2000 and it got worse. I am currently trying out 20,000 kbits/sec as we speak. I also selected CD/DVD-RAM in the export settings over Download & Stream. Not sure if that makes much of a difference?
Most of the MiniDV tapes are standard SD (4:3), but a few are SD wide screen.
I would love to get a master setting to use, so I am not worrying if the quility of the export will come out ok!
I have 50, so time is an essence. This can take me a long time to get through all the tapes.
**** I am NOT using these export files to edit. Just to view
Thanks,
JasonJust to be clear on this.(Yes I know that AppleMan has already asked this question above)
Are you just wanting to transfer what is on your Tape onto DVD without adding any Titles, transitions etc etc?
In other words when you watch the DVD you want it to be identical to watching the MiniDV tape with nothing added or removed or adjusted ?
If this IS the case then try this.
Via Finder navigate to the required iMovie Event Folder.
In this folder you should see either --- " iMovie Movie Cache" OR " iMovie Cache" OR both.
Now in these folders you should see " Cache - 25 .mov " or " Cache.mov " respectively.
Open iDVD and drag either one of these in.
If you want to put more than one Event on the DVD then drag the other Cache-25.mov or Cache.mov from the other Events in.
Select in iDVD Preferences > Projects > Encoding = Professional Quality for up to 2 hours video including menu on single sided .
This will be much better than exporting to h.264 and quicker.
Also I don't think that the Single Field Processing "debate " comes into this workflow, could be wrong???? -
I need help rebooting my sisters old phone. Its asking for icloud email and password but she forgot it and I don't have a computer what can I do??
If she can't remember the ID/password, she will need to go to https://iforgot.apple.com to recover it/reset the password or she will have to call Apple and speak to someone in account security.

I cannot open iPhoto. The error reads: "You can't open your current iPhoto library using this version of iPhoto.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version."
But, I don't ever recall doing that, and I need to access my iPhoto. Anyone help?Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

When exporting a 16:9 project using Qk Conversion, it says file is too big?
I just bought FCE HD, but I have been using regular express since early 2004. I want to send my 16:9 widescreen standard def. video from FCE HD to iMovie HD. The only way for iMovie to accept a widescreen video without pillarboxing it is through a DV stream file. I have done this numerous times with the older version without a problem, but now when I export my hour long video, in the middle of exporting using quicktime conversion, it says to file is too big. I have over 100 GB left of harddrive space, so why does it says it's too big? I have used the new Title program that came with the HD upgrade which offers HD text. On my DV-Widescreen NTSC project, I used HD text graphics and rendered them and they played fine, but when I try to export the text with the video, it fails. Could the HD graphics be the culprit, or is it something else entirely?
Yes. When I am trying to export the entire hour-long project using quicktime conversion, it says: error- file is too big, right in the middle of exporting. I am working off an external harddrive using firewire, this is so I have plenty of space for my videos. When I make my titles with the new title program that came with FCE HD, I switch the format of the text format, under project preferences, to HDTV 1080i 16:9. I do this not because my project is HD, WHICH MY PROJECT IS NOT HD, but because it offers a widescreen ratio for my titles. I can use the entire frame for my graphics and titles, etc. I save each and every file into a folder and load them into final cut when I am in final cut. It just has to render them as I go. I DO NOT save each file as a movie. When exporting, I export under quicktime conversion- DV Stream- DV, 16:9 interlaced, and I don't mess with the audio setting. The WHOLE point of this is for iMovie to read my file as 16:9 so it won't pillarbox it. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A BETTER WAY FOR iMOVIE TO READ FINAL CUT HD FILES "16:9", PLEASE LET ME KNOW; if not, then what should I do about this exporting error?
