How to Copy DVD Movies to a MacBook (6 Steps)

Insert a DVD into your MacBook's disk drive. Apple's default DVD player will launch. Quit the program.
Download and install HandBrake on your computer. The program will launch upon completing installation.
Select the location of the DVD (your hard drive) from the pane on the left. Then click "Open". HandBrake will scan the DVD and the main program window will open. This may take a few minutes.
Navigate to the Destination section toward the upper-right of the window. Select a location where you want to save the ripped file. HandBrake's default destination location is your desktop. You can also name the file in this section. Ensure HandBrake has selected the correct file(s) to rip by verifying the "Chapters" drop-down field and checking the length of time listed next to "Duration". Your DVD should usually start with chapter "1" and end with the last/highest number listed in the "Chapters:" drop-down menu. The the main feature on a DVD is generally the item with longest duration time.
Click the "Rip" button in the lower-right of the program window to begin importing the DVD. This process usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes depending on the length of the DVD and speed of your computer. The program alerts you when the process is complete.
Quit the program and verify the ripped DVD file is on your computer. Eject the original DVD from your disk drive.

How to Replace Missing Keys on a Mac Laptop Keyboard

Note the model of your laptop to get the appropriate keys. Powerbooks, for example, have a variety of models, including the Wallstreet, Lombard and Pismo, the older black models. When the Powerbook changed to a silver color, the models included the Titanium---which has a black keyboard---and Aluminum.
Find a website that sells individual keys (see Resources) or eBay and order the appropriate keys.
Remove bad keys if they still are attached to the keyboard. All the keys are snapped into place, so just pull a key up to remove it. It will unsnap from what Apple calls the scissor or plunger. If the scissor is intact, but the key is missing, a new key will snap on over the scissor by pushing it down until it clicks.
Make sure your support scissors are still intact, as you will need them to place your key. Most individual keys come with the scissor part, so you can replace it at the same time as the key. Push each side of the scissor under the metal hook, one at a time. The scissor halves will then extend upward on either side. Whether you are replacing an old key or placing a new one, the scissors must be hooked into the old supports already found in the keyboard base. Use tweezers to steady the support scissor and connect it to the already-in-place scissor on the Mac keyboard.
Push the key down gently but firmly until it snaps into place.

How to Import AOL Contacts to an iPhone

Tap the “Settings” icon on the iPhone’s home screen to launch the Settings app.
Scroll down and tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” to load the configuration screen for all mail, contacts and calendars accounts. On this screen is a list of all the accounts currently set up for use on your iPhone.
Tap “Add account” and then tap “Other” on the list of account types. Although AOL is listed as one of the preconfigured account types, selecting this option only imports mail and notes. You must select “Other” to import contacts.
Tap “Add CardDAV Account” on the list of account types on the Other screen. The Add CardDAV Account option is located under the Contacts heading.
Input your server and account settings in the provided fields. Enter “carddav.aol.com” in the Server field. Enter your full AOL email address in the User Name field. Be sure to include the full address, including “@aol.com.” Enter your AOL password in the Password field. Enter an identifying name for this account in the Description field. You might, if you’re feeling wildly creative, call it “AOL Contacts.”
Tap “Next” to save the changes and import the contacts from your AOL account. At this point, your iPhone tests that it can send and receive from the AOL server using the login information you provided.
Tap “Keep on My iPhone” when prompted to choose what you want to do with existing contacts on your iPhone. Tap “Save” when you are finished.
