What can I use to copy a CD to a DVD?

Let's say I have a video game or other application that comes on multiple CDs and I want to make work copies so as to keep the originals safely stored. What would I need to copy to DVDs instead of to CDs?
In some cases these would be install only CDs while in others, like some games, they would be install & run-with CDs.
Or MUST CDs be copied to CDs and DVDs to DVDs???

Remember how the old Mac system floppies could be copied to a larger disk like a HD and then they would run automatically in sequence instead of having to eject and load each one? Can I do the the same thing with CD originals to DVD copies? Or can't I crossover like that anymore?
I know what you're talking about and remember doing that at times. It might work if you mounted a bunch of images at once from a DVD, but there may be more to it than that. I don't think there is a definitive answer since it may depend upon how finicky each installer is, and you might just have to try it and see.
Unless it is printed on the disk, how do I tell if a retail disk is a CD or DVD?
In a worst case situation open up disk utility and get info on the disc and see what it says.
I didn't know that that Tiger install disk is a CD I thought it was a DVD?
Most Tiger installers are on a single DVD, but in the early days it came on multiple (4?) CDs. I was referring to the latter scenario.

  • Can I use a copy of Windows XP?

    I burned a copy of Windows XP from my original disc... and I'm glad I did, because I lost the original. Can I use my copy to install onto Boot Camp?

    I'm pretty sure the disk will function. The real question is do you have the Product Key numbers. That is what your money goes to when you purchase an operating system disk. Without the numbers you cannot activate the installed software. And of course you can only use the numbers on one machine.

  • WHAT IS  THE USE OF COPY/MATCH OPTION  IN BUISNESS CONTENT

    WHAT IS  THE USE OF COPY/MATCH OPTION  IN BUISNESS CONTENT  GIVE DETAILS

    Hi,
    Match (X) or Copy
    If the SAP delivery version and the active version can be matched, a checkbox is displayed in this column.
    With the most important object types, the active version and the SAP delivery version can be matched.
    From a technical point of view, the SAP delivery version (D version) is matched with the M version. As in most cases the M version is identical to the active version (A version) in a customer system, this is referred to as a match between the D and A versions for reasons of simplification.
    When a match is performed, particular properties of the object are compared in the A version and the D version. First it has to be decided whether these properties can be matched automatically or whether this has to be done manually. A match can be performed automatically for properties if you can be sure that the object is to be used in the same way as before it was transferred from Business Content.  When performing matches manually you have to decide whether the characteristics of a property from the active version are to be retained, or whether the characteristics are to be transferred from the delivery version.
    Example of an automatic match
    Additional customer-specific attributes have been added to an InfoObject in the A version. In the D version, two additional attributes have been delivered by SAP that do not contain the customer-specific attributes.  In order to be able to use the additional attributes, the delivery version has to be installed from Business Content again. At the same time, the customer-specific attributes are to be retained. In this case, you have to set the indicator (X) in the checkbox.  After installing the Business Content, the additional attributes are available and the customer-specific enhancements have been retained automatically. However, if you have not checked the match field, the customer-specific enhancements in the A version are lost.
    Example of a manual match
    An InfoObject has a different text in the A version than in the D version. In this case the two versions have to be matched manually. When Business Content is installed, a details screen appears which asks you to specify whether the text should be transferred from the active version or from the D version.
    The Match indicator is set as default in order to prevent the customer version being unintentionally overwritten. If the Content of the SAP delivery version is to be matched to the active version, you have to set the Install indicator separately.
    The active version is overwritten with the delivery version if
    ¡        the match indicator is not set and
    ¡        the install indicator is set.
    In other words, the delivery version is copied to the active version.
    If the Install indicator is not set, the object is not copied or matched. In this case, the Match indicator has no effect.
    In the context menu, two options are available:
                                a.      Merge All Below
    The object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy are selected as to Match.
                                b.      Copy All Below
    The Match indicators are removed for the object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy. If the Install indicator is also set, these objects are copied from the delivery version to the active version.
    The most important properties which are taken into account when versions are matched are now listed.
    When referring to InfoObjects it is important to differentiate between:

    ¡        InfoCubes
    ¡        ODS Objects and
    ¡        InfoObjects
    InfoObjects are discussed above (see the first table Valid for All Objects Named Above).
    Valid for All InfoProviders Named Above:

    ·        New dimensions
    If dimensions in the delivery version do not yet exist in the active version, they are transferred.
    ·        Manual matching is not necessary.
    With the InfoObject catalog object type, InfoObjects that are assigned to a catalog in the delivery version are transferred to the active version automatically. Manual matching is not necessary.
    With the transfer rule object type, those objects that exist in the delivery version but are not yet contained in the active version (for example, additional attributes) are added automatically when the match is performed.  Manual matching is not necessary.
    With the process chain object type, those objects that exist in the delivery version but are not yet contained in the active version (for example, additional objects in the process chain) are added automatically when the match is performed.  Manual matching is not necessary.
    ·        Active Version Available
    In this column, the following display options are available:
    ¡        : The object is available in an active version. You decide whether you want to retain this version or reinstall the latest version of the object.
    ¡        Date symbol: The object is already available in an active version. However, the active version belongs to an older Content release. SAP recommends that you install the latest version.
    ¡        Gray symbol: An activated version of the object is available in the system. However, the object status is inactive. If an object version is activated, this indicates that all metadata for the object can be created successfully. The inactive object status indicates that the processed object is inconsistent and cannot currently be used for processing data. Transfer the object again from the SAP delivery version (D version).  If this is not enough to change the object status from “inactive” to “active” the object has to be postprocessed. You find notes on postprocessing in the activation log.
    Postprocessing: An inactive object status may also occur for an InfoObject if changes are made to the structure at field level. Postprocessing the object involves converting the relevant tables in accordance with the activation log.
    ¡        No indicator: The object is not available in an active version.
    7. Make Settings in the Selection List and Install.
    Make the required settings in the  Install selection list:
    Installation Type
    Installation Type
    Information
    Simulate installation
    The system runs a test to see whether any errors are likely to occur during the installation. However, not all errors that may occur can be identified during simulation: Some error messages can only be generated when a real A version (and not just a simulation) is available in the system. You should, therefore, only use the simulation function as a rough guide to help you identify and remove basic errors.
    Install
    The selected objects are installed immediately.
    Install in background
    The selected objects are installed in the background.
    Install and transport
    The selected objects are installed immediately and then written to a transport request.
    SAP recommends you use the Install in background option because installing a large number of objects can take a long time. Modifying objects that are already active can take an especially long time to complete. Make sure that when you install objects in the background that the versions are not matched. It is always the delivery versions that are installed. These are not matched with any available customer versions.

  • How can I use the "Copy and paste" tool in order get stamps in the same position in different pages (Acrobat XI for PC)?

    With Acrobat 6.0 I was able to copy a stamp in the same position (I mean "exactly" the same one) of different pages just by using the "copy/past" tool.
    Now I am using Acrobat XI and it seems like it is not possible anymore: I am copying a stamp and I am trying to past it in anoter page, but it appears in the center of the page (or wherever it wants to...).
    Does anyone have a solution?

  • Kisight:- If I Don't Have or Want to Use My iSight What Can I Use ?

    kisight:- If I Don't Have or Want to Use My iSight What Can I Use ?
    Or What Cameras are available for Macs ?
    This question used to come up for Macs that did not have Internal Cameras and the User did not have an External iSight.
    Since the advent of Intel Mac and the Internal iSight and OS 10.4.9 (late Tiger) the question has broadened from "What can I use with iChat ?" to "What cameras can I use with My Mac ?" and from there into the current Question this User Tip plans to answer.
    On the whole it is a case of matching a camera for the type of application you are going to use it most with.
    A web cam can be used in iMovie to create Email or Video Blogs although Camcorders do a better job. Camcorders can be used as web cams.
    Camera Types
    These fall into three main categories that themselves have subsets.
    Your choice is going to be influenced by the Applications you want to use it with.
    1) Firewire Cameras (Plug an Play)
    a) The iSight (External) made by Apple and several other similar cameras have mostly disappeared off the market. (Although iSights seem to be still doing well on Ebay - See Version and Mounts).
    b) Firewire Camcorders. These vary as to which apps that work with dues to the different Signal outputs they can do.
    Apple Article TA26556 Highlights some that have issues due to their proprietary DV Format.
    2) USB 1.1 able Cameras. (Not Plug and Play)
    This includes most cameras pre Vista (more on that later)
    Most of these will need a suitable Mac Driver either from the Manufacturer or from one of two Generic sources (macam and IOXeperts). Some manufacturers will include a Mac Driver on the CD that comes with the camera some will supply it as a download from their Site.
    It is worth while saying at this point that iChat will also need this reasonably cheap iUSBCam Utility as well.
    This Utility was originally designed for getting the External iSight to work on computers less than the G3/600Mghz spec for iChat. Then it included the ability to get USB cameras to work with iChat.
    You will need one of these three options listed so far if you are OS 10.4.8 or below or have only USB 1.1 ports/sockets on your Mac.
    3) USB 2.0 Cameras. (Plug and Play in most cases)
    a) Those that are UVC (USB Video Class) Compliant (Also listed as Vista Certified)
    Apple added a UVC driver to the OS at 10.4.9 but your Mac also has to have an USB 2.0 port that you can plug such a camera into (Some keyboard ports are not USB 2.0). This means that the camera is Plug and Play although it may not have all the features it has on a PC
    b) Those that are USB 2.0 but are not Vista Certified/UVC compliant. (You are going to need Mac Drivers again)
    This site about Apple Compatible cameras may be of some help.
    A Note on quality of Pictures.
    Firewire cameras of either sort are best with Camcorders being the best of all. (Generally more pixels delivered faster to your Computer)
    The Newer USB 2.0 cameras are tending to exceed the 640 X 480 pixels that earlier USB1.1 cameras use with some currently giving 1.3Mp resolutions. It should be noted though that not all applications will use this format.
    Look closely at the maximum Frame rate (fps) a camera can produce. You may not get it is every applications but something that starts with a max of 15fps is going to give you no leeway.
    Applications
    You may get some more insight into what to go for by asking in one of these forums:-
    iSight Discussions,
    iChat AV Discussions for iChat 3 and iChat 2 and Earlier,
    iChat and iChat Sharing (in Leopard)
    and iMovie Discussions
    Please Note:- some of these are Category Links and you have to select a forum within the list at the top of the linked page.
    <hr>
    Versions and Mounts Which Version Am I Buying ?
    First off I will not say so much on Buying a second hand External iSight other than making sure you use a reputable Selling site or an Individual Seller so that you have recourse if the device turns out to be faulty. Try and get to see the camera working if you can, preferably seeing it plugged in and working or by iChat and seeing the Pic it produces (Get the person to show you live Screen shots (or Screen Share in Leopard/iChat 4) of System Preferences > Sound > Input as the iSight will be listed)
    What I will list here is info about the different versions.
    There were three versions before the External iSight was discontinued. There is little outward differences as the main change is the mounts that are included with each version. They all function the same way.
    The versions are distinguished by letters (Revision A, B or C) in addition to the base part number and an added slash (M8817LL/).The Last model included different mounts for Laptops, Desktop Stand, Magnetic mount and one for a Flat Panel iMac (the Lampshade one). See pictures in this PDF on page 6.
    Apple no Longer sell the External iSight or the Apple M9314G/B iSight Accessory Kit either but you may find it at other places as well if the mount you want/need does not come with the camera. Pics of Box and Contents
    It appears that individual iSight mounts and other items can be purchased though this iSight Service FAQ page
    Remember the youngest External iSight is likely to be at least 4 years old. Current anecdotal information suggests the cost of an Apple Repair to a faulty External iSight exceeds the cost of a USB Replacement (Or the value in real terms, of the camera itself - although higher prices seem to be quoted on Ebay and Amazon)

    The last reads the way I meant as in physically getting to see it.
    I am not sure you are reading it the same way.
    As a consequence your suggestion seems a bit ambiguous to my mind.
    Thanks for the input. I will read a digest context a bit more and see if I can rephrase.

  • What can i use now instead of iweb?

    I know Apple did away with iweb some time ago, but what can I use now to create a simple website using mac templates?

    Apple have not 'Done away with iWeb' as you put it.  They are no longer supporting it and no longer upgrading it, but this DOES NOT mean that you can't still use it to create websites with.
    Apple stopped supporting it sometime ago now, but it is an application like any other that you have and if you have it on your Mac, then you can still use it - it works with both Lion and Mountain Lion and if you want it you can still get it, but you'll have to purchase it from Amazon as part of either the iLife 11 or iLife 09 boxed set.
    If you really want to use other software, which you don't need to take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Express and Pro 6, Flux 4 and Quick n' Easy Website Builder.  Most, if not all of these have free month long trials where you can download and try before you buy.
    As well as these, you have other options such as the online web site builders such as http://www.wix.com or http://www.weebly.com, or the CMS's (Content Management Systems) that you can install directly on your host/server and include http://drupal.org and http://joomla.org amongst others.
    Rage software are also producing their own version of iWeb called EasyWeb - however, all first reports would seem to suggest that you won't be able to purchase this software on its own when it is released - it will initially be tied to Rage web hosting, so you would need to purchase this first to be able to use EasyWeb.
    However, if you still have iWeb then use it for as long as it works and don't look elsewhere.  Just because iWeb is no longer sold or supported by Apple does not mean that you can't still use it - you most certainly can.

  • What can I use instead of adobe flash 9?

    What can I use instead of Adobe Flash 9 on iPad mini?

    There are a number of apps in teh app store that provide "translation" type services for flash content (iSwifter, Puffin are a couple, there may be more). Basically these apps take the flash video content and route it to a third server that converts it to a different format and then routes to your device. Reveiws are mixed and they may not work with all flash content.
    Alternately, you might check to see if the specific sites youare visiting have their own apps.

  • What can I use instead of flash player?

    I am a teacher and want to use my iPad in my class. I will need to download Flash player to view both. What can I use instead?

    You can't download flash as it is not supported, and probably never will be : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ .
    And you want to view both of what ?
    There are no ideal solutions, but depending on what you want to access/view, you might find that some websites (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. For flash games then you are probably out of luck if you want to play on-line though the iSwifter app might work on some of them, but again some flash games have app versions in the store.

  • What can be used in the place of iWeb?

    I am new to the Mac world. I am just finding out that iweb is no longer avaliable as part of ilife. what can be used in it's place?

    iWeb still is available as part of iLife. However, MobileMe and its attendant server service, iDisk, are no longer available (for new subscribers - both will expire for current subscribers in June 2012).
    You can still buy and use iWeb, but cannot publish your created site to iDisk. You can publish to any of the many web hosting sites available (HostGator, GoDaddy, etc., etc.).
    But even though you can still buy iWeb as part of iLife, Apple hasn't upgraded it for several years. So you're better off using other web creation software. There's several around. I happen to use Sandvox and like it.
