I plugged the hard drive into the hub.

The hub is plugged into the back of my iMac, and it is a powered hub.

The burner is plugged directly into the wall. It has plenty of power. Actually, the burner is at the end of a firewire daisy chain.
Power does not seem to be the issue, considering that the hub is powered.

If you are using a Mac and a DVD, get Handbrake, check iPod 5G Support box, rip a copy to your desktop. Go to iTunes/Add to Library, choose the ripped copy/Add. Now sync the iPod to the movie in iTunes.

I have had two Mac Pro's that failed with sleep issues. The first would not sleep, Apple Care decided it was hardware and did a complete replacement. The second would not wake up, Apple Care replaced the power supply & main board.
Drive bay 2 was dead on the replacement main board so there was another replacement.
I'm not sure of the power use by an iMac my MacPro currently is running at 200 watts, according to the power meter on my UPS. Sleeping it uses 3 watts or less. That's just over $2.00 per day that not sleeping costs where I live, using the highest cost electricity in the USA.

I must admit I know very little about the cost per hour ranges for electricity in the US, but I find it hard to believe that 200 Watts translates to $2 per day. Were that the case, two light bulbs would cost you $60 per month!
Are you making your calculations based on rates per KILOwatt-hour?

Don's estimate is not far off:

USD 0.44 per residential kilowatt-hour on the island of Lana, Hawaii means $2.12 per day for 200 watts.
No wonder solar is so popular in the islands...

I used to be able to transfer video wirelessly from my Mac to TiVO, and transfer TiVO video wirelessly to my Mac using a couple of Toast apps.
We've now switched from TiVO to Direct TV (using their DVR) and I'd like to transfer video to and from my Mac wirelessly with Direct TV like the good old days
I've done a little research online, but I thought I'd cut to the chase and ask the group if and how there's a way to transfer video wirelessly from Mac to Direct TV - ideally I'm looking for some sort of freeware that will help do this. Or maybe Toast has come out with something that would work. I use an up-to-date Mac mini
thanks

While it does accomplish what I need, it's not elegant. Steve Jobs reportedly stopped release of the original iPhone just a few weeks before it was to ship because it just wasn't PERFECT. Zooming the whole screen is a not-perfect solution to needing to zoom just the phone number to be able to read it.
Apple themselves realize this is a neat idea. Try it yourself in Contacts on your Mac; open a contact, right-click on a phone number, and pick "large type".
I asked before how I could suggest adding this to iOS. Surely someone knows an email address that is actually looked at at Apple.

This has been mentioned several times and I am still baffled as I have yet to hear how you can *right click* on any iPhone. Where in the world do you set the iPhone for right clicking!?!

I did say in the post to which you're responding that the example for what I need comes directly from Apple, because in the Contacts app ON YOUR MAC you can right-click on a phone number and select "large type" from the popup menu and produce what I'm seeking.
I don't know exactly what user interface element Apple would choose to implement this in iOS (maybe a "zoom" graphic next to each phone number). My gripe is that the alternatives (zooming the entire screen with the 3 finger double tap, which blows up things I don't need help with in addition to the phone number, or enlarging typefaces generally in iOS, which DOESN'T enlarge data elements in the iOS Contacts app) are either inelegant or less than useful, respectively.
And I did find a way to tell Apple that I'd like this to happen. It's on their support page, where there's a "feedback" entry pane. They say over and over DON'T send us any new ideas, but that's just their lawyers talking. I tried to make it clear that if they could implement this the result would be my reward.

Ordinarily I'd respond "of course, but they won't tell you" but assuming the track record for iPhone releases (once a year since the very first one was introduced) it's so far from the NEXT iteration's appearance (probably next fall) that the feature set likely isn't close to being finalized yet.

Is this version worth upgrading from the prior version. I've seen mixed reviews form other sources and this group's opinion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Happy New Year.
