i am trying, for the first time in my life, to import a video from my
Girlfriend camera and to edit it with IMovie.
I think I have done a good job and now I'd like to export it a .MOV
file....

I just bought an external DVD drive (Targus) so that I could play
DVDs from any region on my MacBook.
With one minor exception (which I'll describe below), I have not
been able to play any DVDs on this new drive, using either VLC, or

Why do cds/dvds not show on the desktop in Leopard?
Yes I have show cds checked under finder prefs

I have been searching on the internet and have found that some people
have managed to instal Leopard on pre-867 mhz machines by using the
Target Disk Mode to instal it from another computer.
I plugged in my two computers, started up the Intel MacBook Pro in

I am looking for a software very fast and easy to use to preview
images.
This software should also be able to resize, crop and convert the
images...

i need to convert some dvd movies to compressed file, like divx
or .mov or Xvid...
I have to split the whole movie on the dvd into 3 or 4 divx files.
Which software should I use?

I was wondering if I might take a poll of the MT-NewsWatcher users here

I'm using Eudora, and recently I had to change the password when I was

assuming it is in System Preferences somewhere - but where?

Will much appreciate any brief "how to" instructions on how to convert a
couple of half-hour "Capitol Steps" downloads that appear in .rm format
to some format that iTunes will take in and load to an iPod (MacBook, OS
10.4).

I've got two questions. I've searched the iTunes help and the Apple
online help to no avail.
1) I _know_ I saw this in iTunes and I can't find it. I'd like to be
able to stop a tune mid-play and have it go back to the beginning when

I just now purchased an activation key for iWork '06, which
came on my iMac. However, the activation key doesn't work.
When I enter the key the "continue" button doesn't light up.
When I hit "enter" I get a message that the key isn't valid.

I have a friend who is trying to get his playlists from iTunes to
appear as categories on her iPod.  Is this possible?
Thanks much in advance,
Jason

Have been using leopard for a couple of days now.  Most things work very
well but its my impression that office programs like entourage and word
start up even slower than normal (ie in Tiger) in leopard.  Anyone else?
Cant wait for the new version.

You might have noticed that if you drag an image on say a web
browser, a "copy" of the image appears (in fact, it is quite
sophisticated, and useful - let me leave details out for now). I
get the impression it does not happen in Windows, at least not in

So much for a prepaid mail order of  OSX 10.5.  I am still waiting for
delivery via USPS.
I have the mid-2007 24-inch iMac backed up and I am ready to go.  I plan
on doing an update install first to see what happens.  If it does not
