OS X :: Can't See Contents Of DVD
Jan 26, 2010
The usual health warning applies here - ie I'm new to MAC and completely flummoxed about how to view the contents of a DVD.
Background:
- my friend copied some homemade video files on a DVD
- I plug in the DVD and....nothing
Shouldnt the disk appear over in the left hand side of Finder along with the Macintosh HD and Network etc?
I'm trying Disk Utilities to create a disk image, but it's taking hours. Shurely there has got t be an easier way.

I'm running Lion on an 27" iMac (first i7 iteration), and have a folder on an external HDD that contains a couple of hundred subfolders.
However - when viewing them in Finder, only the first hundred or so display.
The others are there - searching the disc finds the folders and their contents and, once, the contents are located, they'll display in the expanded view.
I copied the offending folder across to the Mac's main HD, but this behaviour came across with it. This, by the way, was happening on Snow Leopard too before I upgraded to Lion.
Info:
iMac, Windows 7

I have searched quite a bit and I've read many different answers so I'm beginning to doubt if any are actually doable and if it is there is no easy answer. I have an antique Mac G4 PPC Dual 1.25 with 2 gb of ram and I have updated all of my hard drives internally as well as externally to SATA/ESATA and one usb 2 smaller drive so that leaves me with one small (160 gb ATA for OS 10.4.11 and along with another partition with OS 9 on it along with all of my apps on it.

I setup MS Entorage on the mac working with a Exchange Account. I am able to see all Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks. However, although I can see the folders in Tasks, I cannot see the contents of the folders! I get the following message "There are no messages in this folder".

I got a question, right now when I extract a zip the extracted file appears ontop of another file/folder.Is there any way to stop this? I would like it to go to appear to the end of all the icons, instead of on another one.

Here's what I need and I'm not sure how I'd do it so I thought I'd ask, since I'm new to macs. I have a hard drive with mp3's on it. Each artist has it's own folder with their albums located inside. What I want to do is print or compile a text file [or whatever you recommend] just the Artist folder with another folder to determine what Artist's I'm missing on the one hard drive.

Here's what I want to do: Share the contents of my DVD drive via SMB so I can watch flicks via my xbox. What I have done: I put my mac on the Workgroup network and when i put a DVD into the drive I right click on it and ->get into->share and it appears on my SMB share... no problem so far. Everytime I put a new dvd in, I have to go through the whole above process again as it very specifically only applies the share to that DVD, how can I do it so that the whole DVD drive is shared no matter which dvd is in? In sharing I have Share CD/DVD set to on, I had to turn off my firewall though otherwise it was saying "DVD or CD sharing: blocked by firewall". I also have file sharing set to on as... that's what google 'told me to do', so I thinks its actually file sharing and not DVD sharing..

I use a PHP script that records the number of clicks on a weblink I want to monitor. Every so often I want to zero (or empty) a number of files (all are .dat files) to start the counting afresh. Is there a way to automate this using maybe Automator or AppleScript?

let's say i have two folders named the same thing, and i want to merge their contents together, but not replace. if i try to merge these folders together in mac os X, it asks if i want to replace the entire contents, vs. windows, which will merge the contents of the folders, replacing duplicate files if they exist in the destination folder, but otherwise the contents of the destination folder remain unchanged. any way to make os X behave like windows in this particular case?

I have had so many problems with my main account in snow leopard. I created a new account and moved my files over to my new account and thought i was in the clear. However, some photos seem to be missing from my iphoto library. (i have no idea how the hell that happened). so i have to go into my time machine hd to try to retrieve them...
HOWEVER... now even when i log in to my old account I CANNOT ACCESS MY TIME MACHINE HARD DRIVE. It says "the folder "Time Machine MacProDitchey" can't be opened because you don't have permissions to see the contents. "
When i go to time machine's info, all the privileges read "Custom". I cannot change them to read/write..

I have been meaning to put windows onto my MBP for some time now but I have never used bootcamp and know nothing about it. Well the windows desktop that I bought for my mom two years ago died and she already bought a new one. Well I took the hard drive out of it and I was wondering if I could use the windows that is on that hard drive to make a partion on my MBP? Is that even possible? Am I even making sense?

I bought a new laptop yesterday. I upgraded from a Macbook to Macbook pro last night. Despite the fact I got home close to midnight and had to be up for 0430 for work, I just couldn't let this new machine sit in the box it was sitting there asking me to open the content. Me being the obedient women that I am I had to follow my heart.I opened the laptop, powered it, looked at it, admired my new lighted keypad and....went to bed. So my issue is this. Now that I have turn the computer on once now, how do I transfer all the content of my old laptop onto the new one? what do I look up to make the transfer?

I have been using Macs for years, but I haven't got into particulars. Anyways, I wanted to know if I delete the contents of the Downloads folder, will it adversely affect the files that are actually stored in there. Meaning, will it delete them from other areas of my computer. I have random powerpoints, pictures, word documents, music, etc. in the downloads folder. It's reaching almost a 1000 files! I noticed that the music is in my iTunes music folder and some of the documents are stored in the documents folder.

When I click on a file to download it from the internet, the download window opens. I see the progress of the download as well as the little 'x' icon to cancel and the 'magnifying glass' to find where the download is going.So far so good.Immediately when the file completes the contents of the window clear out. At which point I have to manually find the download through the Finder.
I've changed the option to delete the contents of the window "manually".

I am needing an app that can compare a directory of folders, or just individual files to compare the contents of each to see if they are different (not just modify dates and such).

I'm running Leopard 10.5.6 on a PowerBook G4. I installed Leopard about five days ago, from Tiger. (Possibly relevant: I was evaluating Together when I discovered this problem. Together is an information manager which uses Spotlight for its own indexing.) I don't know if this problem existed before installing Together, since I had only 3-4 days of use and I don't think I tried a Contents search before. (I really don't think it's Together, but it's _something_.)

I'm running Lion V10.7.2 on my iMac and I'd like to modify trash.I'll like Trash to stop asking me if I'm sure I want to remove the contents of trash. Yes, I do and I don't want to have to click twice, I'm a big boy. You'd think you were running 'Windows'.Any way I can stop the O/S from asking me if I'm sure.

I have thousands of folders with images. I previously worked with ease in Windows because Explorer allowed me to view the contents of the folder without opening the folder. I could view and select in seconds.
Does Mac not have this capability that is found in Windows explorer? Do I need to set some permission in order to view the contents? I'm mystified as to why this isn't a set feature on the Mac. How do I get the contents of a folder in Mac to show *without* tediously opening up each folder?
Info:iMac
