Using a copy of the install DVD Family Pack rather than the original?

I'm going to buy a 5 pack for my brother and his family, however given his track record of losing install disks - can I keep the original and send him a copy? I know making a back-up in allowed under Apple's license but in this scenario I would be keeping the original and sending a copy to someone else. My intent is to safeguard the original, not distribute multiple copies, but would this be considered acceptable under the terms of Apple's license?

Create the duplicate and send both to your brother. It's time for him to get responsible.

  • The lens correction option in Lightroom 5 is for the Tamron 28-75mm lens, rather than the correct Tamron 18-270mm, even though it's correct in the Library metadata. How can I fix this?

    The lens correction option in Lightroom 5 is for the Tamron 28-75mm lens, rather than the correct Tamron 18-270mm, even though it's correct in the Library metadata. How can I fix this?

    Are you shooting RAW or JPG or some of both?
    When you say it won't let you change it, does that mean there are no lens profiles at all, or no lens profiles that match your lens? If you set Auto or Default you can select any lens you want from the list of manufacturers and profiles and then the Setup says Custom.  Of course this lens may not be the correct lens, but saying you cannot change it suggests there are no manufacturers or lenses listed on the dropdowns.
    Most lens profiles are for RAW only, so if you shoot a mixture of RAW and JPG then for the JPGs the lens profile may not exist.  If you are enabling Lens Profiles and have Auto or Default set and it chooses the wrong one then it may just be choosing the top one in the list for Canon if the specific profile doesn't exist for JPGs.
    If you are shooting raw and the profile does exist then you should be able to correct the situation:  In the list select the correct profile, then choose Setup:  Save New Lens Profile Defaults, and select Default from the Setup instead of Auto and it should pick the correct lens every time.  Assuming it does do that, then you can set Enable Lens Profiles = checked and Setup: Default and set those as your new Lightroom Defaults and it should pick the right lens.
    If you are shooting JPG then the lens profile may well not exist and there's nothing you can do about that except not shoot JPG.  If you feel like it you can hack a raw profile to be a jpg profile and put that hacked copy in the user-lens-profile area and LR will see it.

  • How can I show the name in the list of new messages rather than the address

    I have noticed something weird in Apple mail. In the list of new messages, the FROM field sometimes shows the email address rather than the name of the sender (even if that sender is in my address book). Because of this, when I search for some users, I can search by name but for others I must search by email address. However, in the FROM field when I actually open the message, the full name is always in the field rather than the email address (if the contact is in my address book at least).
    Here's a screenshot that illustrates what I am talking about.

    (notice that in the message list it says from [email protected] but in the message view below, it says from Tony XXXX
    My question is: Is there any way to display the actual name in the FROM field in the list of new messages rather than the email address, in the same way it is displayed when I actually open the message? I can't seem to find any settings that fix this.

    Yup, no longer an option.

  • Is it advisable to use your i Pad plugged into an electrical outlet rather than the Battery in use?

    Is it advisable to use your iPad plugged into and electrical outlet rather than using the battery all the time?

    I use my iPad while it is plugged in and I use it on battery power as well.
    I use my iPad all day long at work on battery power and then come home and plug it to recharge. Typically I will use it the rest of the night while its plugged in. When the battery is fully charged, the charging process stops and you can continue to use it while it is plugged in and it will not overcharge.
    It will not hurt to use it while it is plugged in, but the beauty of having a better powered device is that it is mobile and you don't have to plug it in to be able to use it virtually all day long.

  • When I open a new tab, the yahoo search page loads rather than the blank page. How do I revert to the blank page setting?

    This only started yesterday, but it really bugs me. I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

    There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • Using Mac OS Lion - Firefox returns me to the generic Goggle home page rather than the customized home page I created. is this a Goggle problem or the Firefox bowser?

    I always get a "generic" Goggle page to recreate every time I open Firefox or click the Home button. Firefox (or Goggle) can't remember the settings.

    No I'm not using NoScript, but I'm pleased to report that the problem got resolved by deleting the original bookmark, logging in again, opening Google calendar, then bookmarking it again.

  • Is there a way of getting LOOKUP function to return the address of a cell rather than the value?

    Hi
    I am wondering if there is a way of converting the value found in a LOOKUP function into a reference for the cell in question.
    I have constructed the following formula:
    =OFFSET(LOOKUP(A2,August :: $A),2,2)
    In an attempt to return the value of a cell which is two rows and two columns away from the cell returned by a LOOKUP function.
    But I am getting the error Argument 1 of OFFSET expects a reference but found "Name."
    Could someone advise?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Nick,
    To find the row that a searched-for value is in, use MATCH.

  • How can I get the icon on my doc bar to show the number of incoming messages rather than the number of accumulated messages (MacBook Pro)?

    I believe that I used to see the number of new messages on my account inside a red oval on the Thunderbird icon on the dock bar. Now I only see the total number of messages, which, since I don't delete many, is a large number - hard to know if any new messages have arrived without opening the program.

    I think you will be seeing the unread count.

  • I want ALT+F4 to close the active Tab (CTRL+W) rather than the whole window.

    Since I've bound the "Close" (ALT+F4) action to one of the auxiliary mouse buttons, when I'm in Firefox I'd like the button to close a tab instead of the whole window.
    Binding another mouse button to CTRL+W could be done, but I'd like to have only one button to the "Close" action bound in the mouse and I want it to close a single tab not all the window in Firefox.
    Thank you.

    You can use Ctrl+F4 to close the current tab. I don't think that you can change the Alt+F4 action with Keyconfig.

  • MBPro won't read SL DVD - can I copy the install DVD on a PC?

    My MacBook Pro won't read the SL install DVD (as others have had problems with). I have access to a PC with DVD to DVD copy ability. My question is, can I burn a copy of the install DVD to another DVD and use that copy (assuming my MB will be able to read the copy DVD)? Is this possible? Any tips on how would be much appreciated - a shame to buy the install DVD and unable to use it. Buying an external DVD drive doesn't make sense, as I plan on upgrading my MB with the year. Thanks!

    My question is, can I burn a copy of the install DVD to another DVD and use that copy (assuming my MB will be able to read the copy DVD)?
    I'm not sure why you think that would work. Either the disk is damaged, in which case you won't be able to magically create a good copy, or your drive is damaged, in which case it's not going to read a copy any better than the original.
    Is this a new disk, or have you used it before? Is it readable in other machines? Can your Mac read other disks?

  • If we bought a mac with OS X 10.6.6 and my sister has a mac with 10.5.8, can we use the install DVD to put snow leopard on hers? Is it legal? Does it erase everything?

    If we bought a mac with OS X 10.6.6 and my sister has a mac with OS X 10.5.8, can we use the install DVD that came with the newer one to put OS X 10.6.6 on hers? Would it work? Does it erase everything? Is that even legal?
    Thank you for any help!

    It won't work.

  • Hard disk errors, but can't boot from the install DVD

    My mini reports disk errors when I run the Disk Utility Verify on the main boot hard drive. However, I have not been able to boot the computer from the install DVD. I try restarting while holding down the C key, and still it boots from the internal drive. I've tried option-restart, and do not get the opportunity to select a boot disk. An external USB drive, on which I periodically clone the main disk, now does not mount. Disk Utility says it too has errors, and it is unable to repair them. A third external USB drive appears to be OK.
    The computer is still operating, apparently normally, otherwise. This computer should still be under warranty. I bought it in April, as I recall.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    <sigh>
    I've attempted most of these things.
    The drive on which I had the system clone died at essentially the same time as the problem came up with the errors on the main drive. I suspect this was due to the same root cause, or a related problem, just because of the timing. I'd cloned the main drive approximately a week previously with apparently no problem.
    I also have been unable to boot from the install DVD.
    The other external drive, the one that still works, is one I use mostly for rolling backups of my documents, photo and music folders. It is not big enough to hold a clone of the main drive. In any case, I'm assuming that if I attempted to clone it now, it would either not work, or I'd simply copy the errors to the clone.
    I haven't used the Time Machine, since I didn't feel I had an external drive large enough to make it useful.
    What 3rd party software do you recommend? Keep in mind, as I also mentioned earlier, that the computer is still under warranty, and I'm loath to do anything that could be construed as voiding the warranty.
    I'm also on a pretty restricted budget, due to recent car repairs.

  • How do I create a start-up disk image without restarting from the Install DVD?

    (I know this is not MacBook Pro question per se, but I can't find a software discussion this applies to.)
    Situation:
    My MBP is running, but it's acting up and Onyx tells me that the start-up volume needs repair and directs me to use Disk Utility.
    But to repair a volume using Disk Utility, you must restart from the original Install DVD (or some other start-up volume).
    But although the MBP will read my old Leopard Install DVD and the Install DVD that came with my MBP, it refuses to restart from either of them. (Trying to do so gets as far as the Apple logo on a gray screen and then hangs there; all disk activity ceases.)
    Question:
    How can I (is it even possible to) create a start-up volume on my external FW drive without starting my MBP from a DVD?
    In other words, is there a way to either:
    a) create a disk image from the Install DVD on my external FW drive and then designate that disk image as my start-up drive?
    OR
    b) create a disk image on my MBP's internal drive that I can then use to run a System Install on my external drive?
    (BTW, I know I can create disk images using Disk Utility, but it offers many options for type, compression, etc., that are beyond me. )
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    OS X Lion includes a new feature called Lion Recovery that includes all of the tools you need to reinstall Lion, repair your disk, and even restore from a Time Machine backup without the need for optical discs.
    Restart your Mac holding down the Command-R to enter the Recovery HD.
    From there you can use Disk Utilty.

  • Can't install OS 10.4.6 on my imac 5.1 with the install dvd.

    I borrowed the install disk from a friend and tried to format the HD and start up from the new OS but it doesn't work. Is the disk specific to my friend's computer or is my computer too old to support the new OS? How can I format and start up my computer without having to use my older OS version install dvds?

    I just wanted to start it from Leopard again instead of my Tiger disks, but I no longer have the retail Leopard dvd.
    Well, what was really confusing about your post was its title (Can't install OS 10.4.6...) where you implied you wanted to (re)install a version of Tiger!
    I was going to question you why you wanted to do that but I figured you knew what you wanted.  If you don't have your original installer disks then you need to acquire the retail installer.
