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 Hide Files in iPad (7 Steps)

Launch the App Store on your iPad and enter 'private files' in the search box.
Browse the apps that result from the search, or search for other terms if you do not like the results. 'Hidden files,' 'Hide files,' 'Secure files' and 'Private storage' will all bring up a variety of app options for hiding your files.
Read the app descriptions to see which apps are compatible with the file types you wish to store. Look for apps that offer high security such as a password that accepts numbers, letters and special characters rather than a four-digit PIN. Check the storage capacity for each app that interests you, which may be listed under 'cache size.' Choose the app that best suits your needs to store the files you want to hide.
Tap the price and then the 'Install' button, then enter your iTunes password to purchase, download and install the app.
Launch the secure file app you just downloaded and read any instruction files that come with it.
Import your files into the app. This may require using an 'Import' or similar button in the app. Alternately, you may need to open the file where it is currently stored and tap the Action button (the rectangle and arrow in the upper right corner) and select your file hiding app from the options that appear.
Open your file in the private app to confirm it is stored there, and then delete the file from its previous storage place if this did not automatically occur when you transferred the file.

How to Get HTML5 on an iPad

Connect to the Internet via your iPad's Wi-Fi connection, which will perform better for app downloads and HTML5 streaming than a 3G connection.
Tap the 'App Store' icon on your iPad. Enter the name of the video website or service you are trying to access. For example, Netflix, Hulu and YouTube use Flash video on their computer-based sites, but you can download apps for each of these services that use HTML5 or other iPad-compatible formats. The apps are free, but Netflix and Hulu Plus (Hulu's iPad and computer premium service) both require paid subscriptions to their services.
Tap the app's 'Free' button, then tap 'Install' and enter your iTunes password to download the HTML5-friendly version of these services onto your iPad.
Connect to the services through the app instead of your web browser to view HTML5 versions of the videos.
Search for 'SkyFire browser' in the App Store if you want to download a browser that can convert some Web-based Flash to HTML5 for your iPad. This browser costs a small one-time fee, but it can convert some Flash content to HTML5 so your iPad can view it. This does not work for all content, so you cannot use it for Flash-heavy gaming or the Hulu website, but it can help you view animations in HTML5. Download and install this browser, and then use it as your iPad's Web browser when you want to view content in HTML5.
