APP to create DVD with video clips

invalid@example.com (Anna16) — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 12:35:47 +0000

Hello all. I am wondering to burn some of my holiday video clips into DVD on my Mac sierra. I used to use Burn on my Mac, but since I upgrade to Sierra, it's can't work well, and I googled a DVD burner for Mac, tried its free trail version, seems working well, I would like to know if anyone else have experienced commercial DVD burner? Any recommendation?

Thanks in advance.

MacBook problem

invalid@example.com (roy05) — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 12:22:47 +0000

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. Actually, I have recently bought a new Apple MacBook which was at first working quite well. But, for a few days, some of the website are not opening. It shows the “can’t open the page” or “try again” Now I am unable to understand what the problem is because when I open the same website on my other Apple device, they open quickly. I don’t know whether the webpage has some issue or the device.

Help me out resolving this...

Local Apple Music Library on Two Macs?

invalid@example.com (Nathantu) — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 10:19:11 +0000

Hi all,
I've got a steadily growing collection of hi-res and CD rips that I keep mixed in with my Apple Music library in Music. When I go back to the office, I'm hoping to keep listening to these higher-quality versions rather than the normal matched AM versions.

I know from replacing downloaded Apple Music files with ripped files that it's not always a pretty process and tends to involve a lot of duplicate-squashing, but I'm wondering if there's a way to have the ripped files on both...

Please move as needed. I am writing this for someone else. I need some advice for her. She has an APPLE IPAD using wifi for internet. Is is no more than 2 years old.

What type of audio/video connectors are on the IPAD? What kind of cable and/or cable adapter would be needed? Would a pc to tv black box be needed? I use one for my...

mac book pro

invalid@example.com (slo_byrne) — Thu, 31 May 2018 00:29:12 +0000

I bought a mac book pro in 2009. It came with Snow Leopard as the OS. The machine has never had any hardware changes, and I've recently upgraded to OS X El Capitan. It works but it loads ever so slow. Was wondering if I can go back to Snow Leopard, If I can, how do I do that. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

I've been trying to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Air, and keep running into hardware support/recognition problems. These problems have been reported elsewhere, but no solutions are known to me, and the work-arounds do not work.

The scenario...

Mac OS 10.9.4 on a single partition taking up the whole SSD
Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit <- is what I'm trying to install

First of all, this is what Apple officially claims/says/recommends:

Absolute Nightmare!

invalid@example.com (MTLFrank) — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 00:54:01 +0000

I have a 27" Imac (Mid 2013) and just updated to Sierra... Bad Idea.. The computer locked and wouldn't allow me to log in with my password. So in my stupor, I said F-this and erased the drive, thinking that I had a backup. Boy was I wrong. I finally got OS Sierra loaded, but the fan was running at top speed and the top- back of the computer heated up so badly that I probably could've cooked an egg on it.

I erased the computer again, with intent to re-install OSX El Capitan - but it only...

Mac users have been hit with what's being called the first-ever incident of ransomware attacks in which victims are being instructed to pony up $400 if they want to get their files back.

First detected on Friday, the ransomware dubbed "KeRanger" is confirmed to be the first fully functional ransomware seen on the OS X platform.

Users at risk are those who use the program Transmission to transfer data through the BitTorrent peer-to-peer sharing network.
