For the last couple of years I have discovered a lot relatively inexpensive and massively useful software, thanks to sites like MacZot <http://www.maczot.com>...
I must admit to fear on adding any software to my system. It is a 10.3 that works fine . But, I fear adding anything will hurt what I alrewady have. Is this a...
... It's a perfectly valid fear. However, the good news is most of these applications don't really affect the system in such a deep manner, and typically if...
Alan- I think in your specific case, you might have some legitimate reasons to want to stick with what you've got. Unfortunately, because of the way you...
This brings to mind a little-known feature of Apple's newer computers - their Ethernet ports are auto-sensing, so the machine will appropriately use either a...
I have an iMac (bought in last June) with the OS X 10.4.11. Recently a friend brought me CD's of photos he burned, and I can't open the disk. I get a...
I have a Samsung ML-1430 laser printer connected to my Mac. Lately, it has been having trouble feeding paper. It misfeeds most of the time. The only opening...
Alan- Paper feed problems can often be caused by excess lint on the rollers that pull the paper into the printer. (One clean-ish roller 'grabs' and pulls the...
From long experience with these sorts of rollers, I think the best way to clean them is not with tweezers but a good lintless cloth dipped in a small amount of...
Well, different strokes for different folks, but I've always heard that you should never use isopropyl ("rubbing") alcohol to clean rubber parts, as it will...
Thanks to both of you for addressing my printer problem. I thought it might be the rollers. But, my problem is how to get at them. The only door that opens,...
Sandy, Is your problem that the CD won't mount on you iMac or that you can't open the individual photo files? If it's the files themselves, they may have been...
Your questions: Is your problem that the CD won't mount on you iMac or that you can't open the individual photo files? If it's the files themselves, they may...
Sandra- It sounds like the CD might've just been a "bad burn." It happens sometimes that the data copy to the CD doesn't proceed properly. In those situations,...
Come to think of it, I did view the CD on a PC laptop, so I guess it's not a bad burn. Perhaps I should take it back to that laptop and try to get info on...
Hi, I'm using Parallels 3.0. Parallels is offering a bundled package of software for $19.99. These are all back up and security type software. This is an...

Greetings, There was some discussion of a holiday gathering somewhere nearby, in place of a December meeting. As the Meetings & Events Committee is currently...
I recently had a box of VHS tapes of home videos converted to DVDs. Now, I'd like to edit those DVDs to remove the bad stuff and add scene menus. I wonder what...
To get it into iMovie, you can use a program called Handbrake to "rip" the DVD into MP4 file format, which iMovie should be able to open. Create clips in...
Do a Google search for "Handbrake". It was the top hit. I'm already running it. Thanx, David! —Ken ... Do a Google search for "Handbrake". It was the top...
David, do you lose some quality in that transaction? What format are oringinal DVDs like Kens in- I assume some vid equiv of AIFF? And is it not possible to...
And would Popcorn work, the stablemate of Toast? If not, what's the diff, Mr Wizard? Happy new year everyone-from Iowa where all the political hot air has not...
Sorry, I forgot to include the link: http://handbrake.m0k.org/?article=details DMC Consulting HTTP://www.davidmcheng.com ... From: Sandra Weiswasser...
There might be a "loss-less" file format that you could use, but the file size would probably be so huge that it would be impossible to work with. DMC...
... As it so happens, there's also a decent video tutorial on MacWorld's website about using Handbrake for portable video devices. Might prove to be a useful...
