How to Show a Superdrive on a Mac Desktop

Turn on the Mac. For laptops such as the MacBook Pro and all-in-one desktops such as the iMac, the Superdrive is located on the right side of the casing. For the 'Mac Pro' desktop computer, the drive is located on the upper section of the front panel.
Position the CD or DVD with the label side face up and gently push the disc into the Superdrive slot. You will feel the drive turn on and begin to pull the disc in.
Wait a few seconds. You will hear the drive start spinning the disc to read the disc contents. Go to the desktop either by using one of the 'hot corners,' moving your mouse cursor to one of the four corners of the screen or by clicking 'Finder' in the 'Dock' followed by 'Desktop.'
Look around the desktop for an icon of a CD. Depending on the contents or type of disc inserted, the icon will be a blank silver looking disc or a disc shaped image related to the disc contents. As long as the disc is inside the Superdrive, the drive will be viewable on the Mac desktop.

How to Force iMac to Boot EFI

Shut down your iMac from the Apple menu. If you are trying to reboot into a special mode because your iMac is locked up, shut down the computer by holding the power key for five seconds.
Press the power key briefly while holding down the Option key. This provides a list of available disks with bootable Mac systems. Click on an alternative startup disk to boot your Mac from that drive, such as an optical disc or an external drive.

How to Disable HDCP on a MacBook Pro (3 Steps)

Check whether your attached equipment is HDCP-compliant. If you've hooked up your MacBook Pro to an external monitor for your viewing pleasure, and it doesn't support HDCP, HDCP may treat this as a piracy attempt, though some material, such as TV shows, will still run. If you replace the monitor with an HDCP-approved one, or if you watch the movie on the Mac's regular screen, it should play without any problems.
Take an older Mac out of mothballs and transfer the movie over to that computer. HDCP works through Apple's Mini DisplayPort, a digital connection to external displays. If you have an older, iTunes-compliant computer that doesn't have DisplayPort, nothing will stop it from playing the movie on the external monitor.
Right-click the material you want to watch, select 'Version' and then choose 'Standard Definition.' This leaves the movie free to run on your external monitor because it's not playing in high-definition format. This doesn't trigger HDCP, so there's no resistance. ITunes attempts to play movies in high-def by default.

How to Reimage a Macintosh Computer (6 Steps)

Attach an external hard drive to your Macintosh that has at least as much storage capacity as the space used on the drive you are imaging. You can skip this step if you already have a second drive with enough free space.
Launch the Disk Utility application from the Applications/Utilities folder.
Select the drive you wish to image by name in the list on the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window. This list will also include drives by their serial number. You should usually ignore these in favor of the named drives; however, select the drive by serial number if you want to create a single image of a drive with two or more partitions.
Choose 'File' > 'New' > 'New Disk Image from...', which will display the name of the drive you have selected.
Select the external drive in the Save dialog. If you wish, select a compression format and encryption method. Compression will create a much smaller disk image which still contains all the information on your original drive. Encryption will require a password before the disk image can be opened; if you lose this password, you will not be able to access the contents of the disk image.
Click 'Save' to create the disk image. Disk imaging can take a long time, especially if you are creating a compressed or encrypted disk image. You can continue to use your Macintosh during this time, but it will run more slowly due to the disk access required by the imaging.

How to Use Special Effects on a Mac iSight Camera

Open iChat and start the video camera. You can do this by clicking on the camera icon next to your name or selecting PREVIEW VIDEO from the VIDEO drop down menu. Once you have started the camera, select SHOW EFFECTS from the VIDEO menu.
From the special effects toolbox simply select the effect you want to see displayed in the video preview window. Notice the ORIGINAL view is always present in the center of the selections so you can easily flip back to the normal camera view.
Scroll through the effects pages using the scroll keys. The original is always in the center. There are six pages of effects, so take your time and experiment with all of the different ones. Keep in mind that flipping through the effects can be irritating to the people you are chatting with; you have to be in a playful mood.
There are also video effects. The roller coaster and fish tank are my favorites. Notice that your image will be in the center of the video effect and the video will run behind your image. Your chat members may see you on a roller coaster or in front of Yosemite Falls. Kids seem to love the video effects, although I am not sure how the grandparents may feel about them.
You can also add your own backgrounds from image files. Simply select an image file and you will see your camera image in front of the image background. This actually has a practical use for trainers and business. For example, you could put your company logo tiled behind you, which would give the look and feel of being at a press conference. The special effects are a fun way to add a little pizazz to a business conference or to just get a little wacky when chatting with family and friends.

How to Make a Soft Tip Stylus for the iTouch

Test your kitchen sponge by brushing it across the iPod touch's screen to make sure it can be detected by the device. Organic sponges typically perform the best, but you may need to experiment with different types and brands to find one that the iPod touch can detect.
Cut a rectangular piece of sponge approximately 1 inch by 2 inches. The depth is determined by the depth of the kitchen sponge, but is ideally around 1 inch.
Squash the sponge and roll it into a tight cylindrical shape 1 inch long.
Wrap the thin copper wire around half of the sponge to help it keep its cylindrical shape. Leave at least 6 inches of copper wire free.
Twist or unscrew the artist's charcoal holder to open it wide enough to slide the copper-bound side of the sponge cylinder into it. Tighten the holder to grip the sponge, leaving approximately one-quarter of an inch of sponge protruding from the holder. The free piece of wire should also protrude from the end of the holder.
Wind the remaining length of wire around the holder. Keep the wire tight, though the spiral can be quite wide. Secure the wire at the opposite end of the holder to the sponge using a piece of sticky tape. The stylus is now ready for use on your iPod touch.

How to buy an External DVD Burner for Macs (5 Steps)

Determine the speed you want. External DVD burners have different capabilities when it comes to the speed at which they burn DVDs. While the quickest burner sounds like the best option, you could be sacrificing other options.
Check your home DVD player to determine which types of DVDs it plays. Some home DVD players don't play either DVD-R or DVD+R disks. Purchase an external Mac DVD burner that will burn disks compatible with the players you plan to use them in.
Buy a Mac external DVD burner that can also play DVDs, if you have an older model Mac that does not support playing DVDs. A Pioneer mechanism in many newer Mac external DVD burners allow you to play DVDs produced by movie companies. Certain DVD burners like CD CyClone's DVD Revo don't support this feature.
Purchase an external DVD burner like the ClubMac FireWire for your Mac laptop computer that uses your laptop battery as a power supply for ultra portability. One downside of Mac units that don't use external power supplies is they tend to have loud cooling fans.
Pick a design that fits your needs. Mac external DVD burner cases come in styles that are barely larger than the drive itself to elaborate and colorful designs. The QPS Que Fire DVDBurner Pro has a small design for portability. Other drives are larger for desktop Mac computers.

How to Save PDFs on an iPad (6 Steps)

Launch the 'App Store' on your iPad and browse for a PDF app. Nearly any eBook reading app, such as iBooks or Kindle, can read and save your PDFs in an easily accessible format on your iPad.

How to Open Email Paper Clips

Open your email program and open the email that contains the attachment. There may be a small paper clip icon next to the email in the list. That one is just to tell you there is an attachment on the email, but you will need to open the email first to access the attachment.
Click the large paper clip icon on the individual email. The attachment may be sent through a virus scanner before becoming available, so you may need to wait a little bit before it opens. If you already have a program that can view it, it should open up. If you receive a warning such as 'blocked' or 'malicious program,' you shouldn't open it, because there is a danger of a virus. If you receive an error stating 'Windows can't open this file...' then you may need additional software or to set an association.
Look under the error message for the full file name of the attachment. The extension, or the part ofter the '.', will cue you in on the type of program required. .Jpg, .gif, .png, .jpeg and .tif require a graphics program. .Doc and .docx requires Microsoft Word or Open Office. .Xls requires Excel or Open Office. If in doubt, you can search Google for the extension to gain insight as to its requirements. Use the format '.ABC extension' in your search.
Click the circle next to 'Select a program from a list of installed programs' and click 'OK.'
Click the appropriate program, such as a graphics program, word processor, etc, and click 'OK' to open the file with the selected program. If you don't see the program, you can click 'Browse' to locate it manually in a Windows Explorer type setting. If you check 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' then Windows will remember your settings and use them next time it encounters the same file extension.
Associate a file type manually in Windows 7 by clicking the Start orb, typing 'Make a file type always open in a specific program' and pressing Enter. On the resulting screen, you can select the file extension and click 'Change program' at the top to change the associated program, similar to the previous step. This is also useful if you accidentally associate an inappropriate program with an extension.

How to Get a Nintendo DS Stylus to Work on an iPod Touch

Cut a length of sponge roughly half the length of the DS stylus and about four times as thick with your scissors.
Penetrate the length of sponge with the stylus, almost like sliding on a pen cap. You may need to cut a small hole at one end of the sponge if the stylus cannot penetrate the sponge on its own. Insert the stylus as far as you can, since you need to end of the sponge to be as firm as possible.
Leaving about a quarter-inch of sponge protruding from the end of the tape, secure the rest of the sponge to the stylus with a generous wrapping of adhesive tape. Wrap the tape around several times to create a secure hold.
Wet the protruding edge of the sponge with plain water. When wet, the sponge is capable of conducting electricity and will respond nicely to a capacitive touchscreen. Your DS stylus has now been modified to work on your iPod Touch.
