What do I replace my iDVD with

I see that apple does not supply iDVD anymore. Do you have any suggestions for one I should buy or a free software.

What drive to replace the superdrive with?

A few days ago the superdrive in my Powermac G4 (MDD - 1.42Ghz) decided to start making tons of circular scratches in any disc that is inserted into the computer. I have a feeling it's going to have to be replaced (actually - this is the second superdrive in the computer. First one was replaced under warantee within the first year... but that's not an option anymore...)
So... what drive should I use to replace it? Is it best to stick with whatever is currently in it - or is it possible to replace it with one of the new dual-layer drives found on dealmac? Most of those don't seem to be specifically mac compatible, but often times things like that work anyway. Does anyone have any experience replacing their superdrive with something else? How does iDVD, itunes, etc. work? Thanks!!!

I installed the Pioneer DVR-111D in my MDD G4 and have not had any problems using it in any applications. I moved the OEM Combo drive down to the second bay and use it as the disk source for copying CDs and DVDs.
BTW, IMO, the 111D is a very quiet and smooth operating drive compared to most optical drives I've heard.
Note, you have to remove the 111D's tray faceplate to use it in the MDD G4 as the faceplate will interfere with the opening and closing of the flapper doors on the MDD G4. Not a big deal, just pry it up gently from the bottom with your fingers and it will pop off.
Good luck.

What can i replace an iframe with? (Death to double scroll bars!!)

So the site I'm working with has a ton of links all directed to an iframe. The iframe is set to a fixed size and will not expand/contract with the linked content so i end up with two scroll bars.
Here is the web site.
I was hoping for a 'quick' fix to replace the iframe with some kind of object that the links could dump their pages to that would expand the length of the site as needed.
Any help would be much appriciated!!
Thanks!

Use Server-side includes for common headers, menus and footers. Or build a DW Template file (dwt) and use it to spawn new site pages.

I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

What would you replace an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB) with?

Hi,
I started a thread before asking whether I could replace a 256MB card with a 128MB card, even though the interface was a different shape.
But, as I know so little about Macs and graphics card, it seems wiser to ask
What would you replace an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB) with?
The computer is user for photo editing and normal internet/email use. The photo editing is done on Adobe Photoshop for professional treatment of photographs.
The computer is a Power Mac G5 (1.6GHz) and budge is £80 / $120.
Thanks in advance, Franc.

Hi-
Please check my recommendations in your other thread.
Better options for the 9800 Pro are the Radeon 9800 XT, Geforce 6800 GT, Geforce 6800 Ultra, or if one has the money or finds a good deal, a Radeon X800 XT.
For your budget and uses, the Geforce cards are a performance value buy.
BTW, I have owned all of the cards, used all of the cards, and tested all of the cards.
Graphics Cards- ATI and Nvidia

I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

I'll go down your list one by one.
1. Access mail - which I know that the iPad can do.
Enough said.
2. Save an excel or word or ppt of PDF attachment for review.
You can view these types of documents natively on the iPad as Tgara has mentioned.
3. Open an review and maybe change a excel or word file.
There are many apps that allow this. I personally prefer Apples iWork programs, Pages, Numbers, Keynote. They tightly integrate with iCloud.
4. Resave such above files.
With Pages, Number, Keynote you can save/resave files in iCloud and locally. Also you could use dropbox to save your files on dropbox and provide a way for you to share a folder with coworkers/family and they can add/view/review files from there and you can see the changes on your device.
5. Reply to a mail attaching a file.
This is possible in many ways. From dropbox, or another app you can email files with the share button.
6. Be able to rename files and store them in specific folders.
This goes back to dropbox/iCloud. iOS doesn't really have a traditional file system. If you save a PDF it isn't saved anywhere you can just open it. You would have to open an app that supports view PDFs and select the PDF you wish to view. The same goes for documents, spreadsheets and etc.
Hopefully this helps answer your questions.

What do they replace a 1st generation ipod nano with now?

What do they replace a 1st generation ipod nano with now? from the recall.

Glad you were able to sort it out - iPod cables and USB ports can sometimes by mysterious in their variability - though in your case the symptoms suggest that a conductor may have failed inside the cable you were using. I've found that, using a selection of cables:
my 2G nano will occasionally be detected as being connected via USB 1.0 (even when connected to 2.0 ports)
my 3G nano syncs fine but steadfastly refuses to charge when connected to any of the USB ports on my main computer, though using the same cable charges happily when connected to a USB AC adapter
Such things are just sent to annoy us
On your other question, it is possible to completely replicate your library across two or more PCs. As long as the iTunes database (iTunes Library.itl) is duplicated as well as all your media you then have two physical copies of one logical library, with which iDevices will sync on either computer. See turingtest2's notes on Make a split library portable to see how to verify that your library is in a consistent structure to make replication easier, and Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy on one method for replication (typically using an external hard drive that also serves as a regular backup). My configuration looks like this:
where the library on my "master" system is replicated, using MS SyncToy and an external HDD, to two other systems - a secondary one at home and one in my office at work. My iDevices will sync to any of these without the "threat" of wiping their content because iTunes detects that they've been previously synced to a different library - because of the replication method used the "unique" library identifier that iTunes uses in the sync process is actually the same on all three systems.

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk with pics to play in a dvd player?

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk with pics to play in a dvd player? I don't want to deal with older versions of ilife.

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk
In my opinion, there are none.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Well first off you'll need another browser, Firefox allows many other search engine choices, Chrome is made by Google so that's no help really.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
Once you have Firefox installed (and check the status of your plug-ins) you can search online for alternate search engines, there are hundreds.
Duck Duck Go is very privacy oriented.

You can find more here

Once you find one you like and visit the site you can add it to the Firefox search selection like this
You also can remove Google if you wish totally or just not use it.
Firefox also has Ad Block Plus, Ghostery, BetterPrivacy add-ons which combined and enabled will stop the trackers of Google and others.

Am replacing airport extreme with Time Machine and want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard. Am told I should manually back up into T Machine before OS update but set up utility won't allow anything with OS below 10.5 and I'm 10.4.11. What to do?

I think you mean you are replacing your Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule. Time Machine is software integrated into OS X 10.5 & 10.6 used to automatically backup a system to an external HD. Time Capsule is an Airport Extreme that has a hard disk integrated into it that can be used for storage or as a Time Machine backup drive.
Because you are currently on Tiger 10.4.x you can backup to a external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Having a backup is very wise before doing any major system update. After you have created the backup and have successfully upgraded to Snow Leopard you can still use the external HD for many things. The strategy I'd recommend is to use the new Time Capsule as your Time Machine backup and then use the external HD as backup using SuperDuper or CCC. Redundant backups is wise because backups can (and do) fail too! In addition both SD and CCC are bootable clones, this is useful in that if your internal HD crashes you can boot from a cloned drive and continue working until the internal HD is replaced.
Below are some links to some articles from MacWorld, I would recommend reading them where you find a common theme, redundant backups. Backup Plan I, Backup Plan II & Backup Plan III.

I am replacing my iMac with a Windows 7 OS Wireless Desktop. What storage capabilities will the TC provide?

I am replacing my iMac with a Windows 7 OS Wireless Desktop. What storage capabilities will the TC provide?

You are a brave man posting that sort of info around here.
The TC is still a good router with storage ability you can use on Win7. It is slow and more suited to the wireless backup for laptops, which is what it was ideal for. So if you don't yet own a TC, don't buy one.
You can do as well with a USB hard drive on a router. But if you already have it, it is usable, albeit slow.

i have a imac g4 with a philips cdd5301 drive. the drive doesn't work. what should i replace it with that is compatible. i've seen some bad reviews about the philips drive

Any good external optical drive should do, in this case, Google is your friend, just make sure it's Mac compatible.

WHEN I OPEN IDVD IT SAYS YOU CANNOT USE THIS VERSION OF IDVD WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OXS. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET IDVD WORKING?

First off, please don't use all caps! It's considered to be yelling.
I need to know more about your system and software.
How old is your Mac Pro? what Mac OS version came with it when it was new? What version of iDVD are you trying to use?

My iMac is dying. What do I replace it with?

I'm pretty sure my Graphics card is dead. See my post here https://discussions.apple.com/message/21496843?ac_cid=op123456#21496843
I don't know what to do, I'm sure I'm looking at a $300+ bill if not more like $500. For that price, I should just start looking at a whole new computer.
I like the idea of an SSD, but in all cases, I'm looking at a minimum of $1500.
I like my iMac, but my 27" screen is really big, almost too big. I like the 21.5" but I feel like I should always be getting more for my money than the last computer I bought.
This might be the first time I get less than what I'm replacing.
For example:
My iMac (Late 2009):
27"
2560x1440
2.8Ghz i7
8GB 1067 DDR3
ATI Radeon HD 4850 (512)
New iMac
21.5"
1920x1080
2.7-2.9GHz i5
8GB 1600 DDR3
GeForce 640M-650M (512)
If I upgrade to 16gb DDR3 it goes to $1750-$2150
I paid ~$2700 3 years ago for upgraded everything on the 27" iMac (Late 2009) and now it's (basically) dead.
I don't feel like repeating such a costly investment in another 3 years... :-(
What do I do????
In a way I also miss my laptop (an old 12" PowerBook G4) but in order to get close to the specs I currently have, I have to look at the 15 RetMBP and again we're getting into the $2199+ range again.
Help me decide please!!!

The reply on your other thread is amazing. I find myself wondering how they can properly diagnose a hardware problem online? You obviously are having heating problems causing the GPU to act like that. Maybe it's just a fan problem or maybe even just a buildup of dust inside he computer impeding airflow? Before I give up on a three or four year old iMac I would at least try to vacuum out the vents on top and bottom of the iMac. If that didn't help I'd take it to the nearest Apple Store or AASP and have it properly diagnosed and get an estimate for repairs. Check your serial number to see if your iMac is included in the hard drive recall, not all late 2009 iMacs are. I sure wouldn't give up because someone looked at some photos and said that your graphics card is broke. The best advice he gave you is to back up your system.

IPhone 5s. After replacing my battery with a long life battery I was prompted to connect to iTunes after powering on. A download began and then aborted and was returned to same download screen. What can I do to resolve the problem?

After replacing my battery with a long life battery and powering up the phone, I was directed to plug into iTunes where a download began and then stopped, returning me to the screen instructing me to plug into iTunes again. I cannot get past this point. I even tried reinstalling the original battery but still have the same problem. How can I resolve?
