I recommend using Handbrake. It will rip the DVD and encode it into mp4 format for use with iDVD and iMovie.

Sorry, I left some stuff out. The exact command I ran was : "chown -R <username> /Volumes/<whatever>"

I had a hard drive in an enclosure connected to my Airport Extreme, and therefore shared on my network. I recently moved the hd in a G4 PowerMac as its second drive, but it doesn't appear as a mounted drive under the admin user account. I can see the drive is mounted in Disk Utility, but when I...

We're going to need more info than that. What trouble are you having? Specific errors would be more helpful.

AS far as I know, you can change any qwerty keyboard to dvorak by changing the key layout on the software side. (In the OS) Granted, the key labels won't match what they actually do, but if you already touch type in dvorak, it wouldn't be much of an issue.

Cider is the Mac version of the Cedega/Transgaming tool that's been running on Linux for years. Basically, it's a DirectX emulator (I'm drastically simplifying here) that allows linux machines to run Windows games. Since Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD (a Unix distro) Transgaming's next logical...

I still have mine. I primarily use it as a file server for my MacBook and iBook iPhoto, iTunes, and Garageband libraries now.

What file system is the sd card formatted with? It sounds like the card may have gone bad since you've said it appears in Disk Util and then disappears. Have you tried jiggling it in the reader to see if appears and disappers as you jiggle it? I You might try cleaning the contacts on the...

Don't use anything that has amonia in it - like Windex - it'll cloud the screen and ruin it. They make special wipes and sprays for LCD screens. Use those. (Like the one shown above.)

As much as I love my Apple products, their support does suck somewhat. My iBook required 3 logic board replacements, and if it happens again I'm screwed. (You'd think that 3 replacements would indicate a trend with them, but nooooo.) My MacBook had a logic board replaced before they figured out...

I don't see how using Boot Camp, and booting into Windows could hurt your Mac. Boot away.

Make sure that you've installed the Macbook firmware upgrade. It fixes a lot of the power management and cooling issues. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbooksmcfirmwareupdate11.html

Is it a single iMovie file, or an iMovie project? (Collection of files.) If it's a collection of files, you may be trying to copy a file with an invalid filename for the target filesystem.

All I care about is : 1) Better than Windows Explorer? YES 2) Let's me navigate the file system? YES Finder is fine. I think only old-school Mac OS 9 and lower users have problems with Finder. (They also had/have problems with the Dock.) Coming from a Linux world, after coming from a Windows...

Check out Canon and Panasonic miniDV camcorders. Many a Mac user has had great success with those.

You usually pretty safe with anything not containing bleach, or amonia. I use Apple Polishing wipes. They come with a polishing wipe, and a buffing wipe.

Have you tried booting the MacBook in target mode and connecting it to your G5? It would interesting to see if that works. If it does by some slim chance, you might be able to get your files off of there, and then take your MacBook to the Apple store to get it fixed. (Since it's only a month...

I would guess that midi files are handled differently - the audio is actually rendered by the audio card of the local machine. It's possible that Remote Desktop just can't pass that audio through it's interface.

Since you're Mac Book Pro should still be under the 1yr Apple Care warranty, I think they'l replace that battery for you. It's obvioulsy defective.
