If you have your drive formatted NTFS for the PC, the Mac will be able to read from the drive, but will not be able to write to the disc. To format it so that it will work cross-platform with both Macs and PCs, you will need to format it FAT32, and you will need to do it on a Mac, as PCs cannot format over 32GB in FAT32. Make sure you back up your data before formatting as it will destroy all data. Connect the drive to the Mac, turn it on, then open DiskUtility. You can find this in the Applications>Utilities folder. Then locate your drive on the left side of the window, and choose the drive by clicking on it. Then choose the Partition Tab. Under the volume scheme, change the drop-down menu from Current to 1 partition. Then click on the Options button and choose Master Boot Record (MBR) and click OK. Then under the Format menu, choose MS-DOS, or FAT. Then clcik Apply and OK, and the drive will format FAT32, and you will then be able to read and write cross-platform. I hope this helps.

I have purchased a mac os 10.1 since getting my ds6618 digital camera. The cd does not work for my computer. What should I do?
You've already got all the software you need.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as iPhoto.

Boot from usb
Introduction UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.
Requirements
  • Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, or Linux, or Mac OS X 10.5+. Note that resulting USB drives are bootable only on PCs (not on Macs).
  • Internet access for downloading a distro to install, or a pre-downloaded ISO file
Features UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive, or it can make a "frugal install" on your local hard disk if you don't have a USB drive. It loads distributions either by downloading a ISO (CD image) files for you, or by using an ISO file you've already downloaded.

The current version has built-in support for automatically downloading and loading the following distributions, though installing other distributions is also supported:

The nexxtech hd portal 720p installation disk comes up on my mac desktop but when i click on it, it goes in to a file and i can't seem to instal anything everything either has no default application...
I have the same unit and it works fine on my Mac Mini. All the stuff on the disk is for PCs, not Macs. You don't need to install any drivers for this webcam when using it with a Mac. Just plug it in and it will work. If you are using it on Skype, for example, you have to select "preferences" / "sound" and then change the "input" to USB. That will make the microphone work. You can adjust the mic input volume in your Mac "System Preferences" / "Sound." This is one of the few cameras out there with a mic that works through the USB, so don't give up on it too easily!
I get a very slow frame rate with this camera, but I've had the same problem with every other webcam I've plugged in!! Otherwise the quality is fine. If anyone knows why my frame rate is so slow, I would appreciate your ideas!

I just bought a top-end MacBook Air 13.3" 4 GB/256 GB for presentations. I also have a Dell M410HD projector, also quite new (a few months old), which works great with the two PCs (one new, one old)...
They (Apple) might be right. It could be that the projector is damaged, like the bulb, or it could be incompatible with your computer, but I don't think that is the case. Try taking the projector to a computer repair place.

I can not record a ISO image in my GH22N550
Try using this software, Image Burn. It works for me every time. I gave up on all others. This program will burn ISO's to ISO's, it will burn ISO's to Boot Disks, it will make files into ISO's, it does it all.

Also, just to clear up the term, when you burn a ISO you are generally trying to make a bootable disk, you are not actually burning the ISO, but expanding and burning the files onto a CD or DVD that you will use to install something on another computer.

My girlfriend just gave me a copy of rosetta stone on cd but when i try to load it,it brings up a whole bunch of iso files and no way to install the software is there a program i need to install it...
An iso file is the format used for a cd/dvd. Example: If you create a digital copy of a cd/dvd, it will be in iso format if done correctly.

How it sounds to me, is that your girlfriend copied the cd wrong. Sounds like she created a iso image and just put it on the cd as a file, instead of making a true copy of the cd.

To work with iso images you need to install a program like "Alcohol 120" to create a "virtual drive". Load the ISO file into it and it pretends you are using a real cd-rom. Pretty self explanatory once you have the program installed, tad hard to explain.

Lacie 250GB External Hardive to be used between a PC and a MAC
Be carefull when moving data from Macs to Windows etc. Your best bet would be to start again. It should work if you get your friend to put the data on the drive & copy it directly to your Mac. From there, you can safely copy data to the PC, but may have trouble accessing that same data after the PC has had it.
