Re: i-Mac DVD Burner

Most likely your DVD laser lens is dirty. It is strong enough to read DVDs, but not strong enough to burn to them. A "lens cleaner" DVD should fix the problem. They cost around $5 - $10.

and self recorded. Any ideas what is wrong?

Thank-U a lot Tod, I was just doing the cloning thing to reset. But know I
got a couple more questions, the install disk is the one that came when I
first bought the computer right? or can I do it with the Snow Leopard
Install disk
Could this had prevented If I had run Disk Utility earlier??, this is the
first time I have done this in five years with the computer

Old iPhone apps in iTunes
Posted by: "Daly Jessup" jessup@san.rr.com
Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:34 pm (PST)
I had to get Apple to delete three of five Apple IDs that had accumulated for me. Since then, I have had trouble trying to update apps on my iPhone that had been downloaded under now-deleted old Apple IDs.
Currently I have three of them I will have to buy again: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote for iPhone. They need updating but were downloaded under an earlier Apple ID.
Does anyone know how I can get them to disappear from my list of Apps in iTunes? I have unchecked them, but they are still there. How can I make them just go away from the apps list?

I have been weeding out my iPhone apps on the one account I use for purchases, and this may work for you.
First delete them from the iDevice, by holding the icon until they start to shake and an X appears on them. Then delete.
Second delete them from iTunes. iTunes> Library> in Icon mode, two-finger tap the desired and chose delete.
Last sync the iDevice with iTunes.
Sorry you have to repurchase the apps.

Re: Transferring iTunes and 1 other app from iMac to MacBook Pro

I would use the Home Sharing feature. It will allow you to add what you want from the iTunes library on your iMac to the existing library on your MacBook.

AppleCare Support Center
Posted by: "bobbystar" bobbystar@yahoo.com bobbystar
Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:01 am (PDT)
I received an email supposedly from the AppleCare Support Center.
It had a request for me to fill out a survey regarding my last call to the center. It contained my call number and the name of the rep (Victoria) who handled my call.
I am thinking this is spam because I have not called Apple in over a year and I had a male tech person assist me.
Any opinions on this are welcome.
Thanks,
Bobby
