Does Archiving A Aif File Change it In Any Way, once Unstuffed

i notice the size becomes smaller when archiving. but is there any difference to the origional file after it is unstuffed? i've heard mixed views. is the quality exactly the same?
thank you

Using a data compression program on a file doesn't change the file's content, as the program can't tell what(if anything) should be discarded from the file. Some dedicated song compression processes, such as converting to MP3, do erase data from a file, as only audio data that humans can hear is preserved.

Does a 2-button reset change or delete ANY settings?

No it does not remove or change any settings, apps, or data.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on another HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?

To back up your data, either use Target Disk Mode and a cable from another Mac (which mounts your problem Mac as an external disk of the other Mac) and Disk Utility on that other Mac, or — and this is all assuming you either have a slow Internet connection and don't want to use Internet Recovery, or if you have an older Mac that doesn't support Internet Recovery — you can create a bootable USB key disk on another Mac and then boot your problematic Mac from that keydisk, then use Disk Utility from the installer to make a backup to another (external) (scratch) disk. You can also use that keydisk to reinstall OS X, to repair or to reinstall OS X.

I lost all my passwords from the previous version of Firefox when I upgraded to Firefox 4. I have all the files. Is there any way to import them into Firefox 4?

Typically, when I have upgraded a program, all of the bookmarks, passwords, etc. have transferred to the newest version but, for some reason that did not happen with Firefox 4. I still have all my preferences files as they were moved to the trash. Is there any way I can import them back into the new version of Firefox as it is very frustrating to have lost them.

If you used the option to delete settings, or whatever it is worded when uninstalling, Firefox will remove all your important data information from profiles for all installed versions of Firefox, and you will then need luck and a file recovery utility to try to restore the information.
You mentioned files being moved to Trash, I was hoping you may still have the required original files. I use Windows XP, and I realise Macs use different locations for files, but I think the files have the same names.

Note the last article discusses problems when bookmarks are lost, and some of the possible reasons and solutions. Obviously I do not know what has actually happened in your case, and whether or not you used the delete option I initially mentioned.

.mov files already on exteral, any ways to avoid copying them again during import?

Hi,
I am editing videos on my desktop and laptop, because I have a small 120gb on my MBA I don't have lots of space to import all the videos in the drive and I use my external to use the data there.
Would there be any way to point iMovie to a folder where it can fetch and use all the files without importing them individually?
Thanks!

iM is no 'all purpose editor' but meant to import from camcorders..
and: .mov is just a container, some say wrapper, no 'format'... QTplayer can playback a lot of formats, but little are supported to work with iM ...
use the free converter tool *Mpeg Streamclip* www.squared5.com to convert your 'videos' into dv-stream ... these file will import into iM...

In imovie11 the finished film shows up in the events library but the project file is missing. Any way to reconstruct it from the finished film?

in imovie11 the finished film shows up in the events library but the project file is missing. A complete search of hard drive fails to find it. Any way to reconstruct the project file from the finished film? I need to re-edit the movie.

Thanks for the info. I do have the Aperture 2 disc so I'll re-install and repair library then give it a go again. It will probably take a few days as I have a HUGE library. I'll let you know the outcome when it completes! Thanks again for the help.

Project Server 2010 - Once individual settings are changed is there any way to save this down for each person

A timesheet submitter sets certain filters and "group by", the timesheet is then sorted according to those filters and groups. Once time sheet is saved & Submitted the filters/groups are changed back to the default for any subsequent time
reporting periods. Is there any way to predetermine the Filter=No filter and Group by=Project for all timeperiods.

For specific users not possible, however if you know many people use Timesheet in a specific way you might want to consider generic timesheet view which users can choose.

How does iTunes check if files change?

I used MP3Gain to smooth the volume levels of my whole iTune directory. I get the feeling that it touched hundreds of files. When I synced, iTunes updated a suspiciously small number of songs. How can I check, if a given song is up-to-date between iTunes and iPod or not? What's the algorithm to decide, whethet a song file needs to be updated? The Windows change date? Is this reliable, or could MP3Gain modify it so that it stays the same?
Is there a way to force the update of songs manually, without resetting the iPod (besides fake "changes")?
PC Windows XP Pro

My guess is that if you use an application outside of iTunes and make changes to the source files, iTunes will not know they are changed. iTunes only would update songs on the iPod if you make a chance to them within iTunes.
If you want to be absolutely sure all the tunes are updated in your iPod, then you will want to remove them all from the iPod and get everything re-synced back into the iPod.

I changed jobs and purchased a new iPhone I no longer have any of my iBook information. My Apple account and name has changed is there any way to get the info I had in iBooks to my new phone under my new account?

I changed jobs and bought a new phone. I would like to get my iBooks info on my new phone but it is under my old account. When I try to log in under the old account i get a message that I will not be able to log back onto my new account for a period of time. HOw do i get the information from my old account over to my new account?

You can't currently transfer purchases/downloads from one account to another account.
When you download past purchases from an account then you will potentially tie the device (or computer if you do it on that) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Have you got the ibooks already on your computer and/or on a backup so that you can sync them to your new iPhone ? If not then have you bought anything on your new account yet - could you go back to just using the old account ?

[SOLVED] Cannot change GSettings in any way!

Hi, I have a huge problem. I cannot change any GSetting value as normal user. I tried dconf-editor, just can't change anything. I tried gsettings from terminal, it doesn't show any errors, but values are not changed whatever I do. As root this all works normally.
As a workaround I have tried copying .config/dconf/user from root to user account, doesn't work.
What can I do to fix this?

Thanks, but that didn't help. Have to be something else. Really annoying.

HT1414 I never synched my iPad to a computer, and I forgot my passcode and am now locked out. I read that I need to do a restore, but will lose all my files. Is there any way to get into my iPad but NOT lose my photos and files?

I forget my passcode, and got locked out of my iPad. I never synched, so my files aren't backed up. I read that I need to restore, but will lose everything. Is there any other way to not lose my photos and files on my computer?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode
