How can I watch MKVs on a DVD player and keep 5.1?

Hi,
I have several MKV files which I want to convert to play in a DVD player/Xbox 360.
I want to keep the hi def and 5.1 sound in the newly encoded file.
I have tried using Handbrake with some success. The video is outputted in hi def and it plays in my Xbox but for some reason Handbrake keeps downmixing the audio to stereo.
Is there a professional package that can do the job? How can I watch MKVs on my players and keep 5.1 surround sound?

You need a Thunderbolt or mini DisplayPort to composite converter like this one:

Yikes, unless you can find one for much less than that, I'd put than kind of money toward a TV with HDMI connections.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

How can I change to size of a book and keep all the layouts I have created?

How can I change the size of a book and use the layout that I have already chosen (I accidently laid the book out for a larger size book than what I acctually wanted)?

Just in case of problems duplicate the book (select it and edit ==> duplicate or Command=D) and then click on themes and select the same theme in theprper size - verify that everything worked (sometime different sized text blocks cause minor problems that require attention) and preview it -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
then order

How can I figure out what my password is and keep it unlocked? Every time I do a system update, it requires the password and sends me into cyber trouble with the remember my keychain access, requiring it every time I log in. A real hassle to be avoided

How can I find out what my password on the computer is? I had to change it due to my teenagers helping themselves, and now every time there is a system update, I have to have the password, which I cannot remember or find. It then wants it every time I log in and pops up Key Chain Access as well. Very annoying. I do not have the disc to reload it and fear I would loose everything on my computer as there is also trouble with the back up system. Too many issues and not enough solutions. Many thanks in advance!

I do not have the disc to reload
Why not? You need your system dvds to troubleshoot & to reset/change passwords in view of your current OS listed in your profile.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.
===============
I have to have the password, which I cannot remember or find.
When selecting passwords, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure out.
Old school--- > Print it out & keep in a safe place. A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.
New school---> Get a password manager utility. Highly recommend 1Password which is shareware. Do a Google search for free password managers.

Go to id.apple.com.
Log in with your Apple ID & password.
Then, edit your primary email address to the new email account.
Once you do so, a verification email will be sent to the new email address.
Go to your email account and verify the new primary email address.

How can I convert files in Aperture to jpegs and keep the file large

I want to upload files into istock photo and they must be as big as possible but in jpg format. I end up exporting tiny little things going from 8mb to 300kb. How can I do it? I even tried going into CS3 but that only allowed me to convert to tif. I would appreciate any help - especially if it is simple!

Go to File >> Export >> Export Version(s)
In the resulting dialog box you'll find a drop down called Export Preset with a list of presets. One of them is JPEG Original Size. That should do it for you.
Also you can choose Edit at the bottom of the preset list and modify an existing preset or create a new custom preset.
BTW: the reason you couldn't do it in Photoshop is that you need to convert it from 16bit to 8bit before you can save a JPEG. That command in Photoshop is under Image>>Mode.

How can I watch videos that require Flash Player?

I would like to watch video content that asks for Flash Player which apparently isn't supported by Apple (or vice versa).

Adobe has stopped development of flash for all mobile devices.
If you want flash content you will have to download a third party browser.
Photo, puffin, skyfire, iswifter are a few.

How can I have the latest version FF8 installed AND keep my old version until I get used to FF8 ?

I have also fopund that I have a Beta version FF 3.6 Beta 4
I have no idea how this was installed, as I have not done it knowingly and consciously !!!
It does not show up in ALL PROGRAMS from START.....
But does appear in ADD/REMOVE PROGS via Control Panel....also in MY COMPUTER>Program files !!
Both versions work...but my desktop short cut links to FF 3.6.24....and that is what I use all the time. (the Beta version must have been there for some time).....
So this gave me the idea of maybe keeping my current version and also having a separate program FF8.... Until I get used to FF8...(see question https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/897193#answer-277745)
Maybe... 1. Install FF8 to a different location folder..say...Mozilla/Firefoxnew8
2. Rename the existing FF version and create new desktop short cut.
But the only problem I can see in these options is that when FF installs a new update automatically, on start up...... depending on which version I am using at the time...... I presume it will look for folder Mozilla/Firefox..... THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN ??
Your comments would be Most Welcome and appreciated.

Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Custom+installation+of+Firefox+on+Windows
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Installing+a+previous+version+of+Firefox
Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.<br />
Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

How can i re-enable/restore a disabled iPad and keep the data without using a laptop or iCloud

Hello,
Is there a way to re-enable a disabled iPad and maintain the data taking into consideration that no iCloud backup was made and the computer it was last synced with was not available? any idea?

No, sorry. Without a backup in iCloud or iTunes, you will have to set it up as if new and anything on it will be lost now.
You can always re-download purchased apps and content (other than audiobooks) once it is restored, from the respective iTunes or App stores.

I'm syncing pics in LR between my iPad and Mac. Later, how can I remove the pictures from my iPad and keep it on my LR on my Mac?

I understand the pictures are kept in the Cloud but I want to change my catalog so that it will recognize the pictures only on my Mac. Then I can clear up space on my iPad.

Even though iCloud can back up some content it is intended more to keep multiple iOS devices synced up rather than being a place to back up your content. The Camera Roll is included in the iPad's Backup however there is no way to access the back up's content without Restoring the iPad. If you wipe the photos from the iPad's Photo Roll the new back up file created will also have them removed.
Photo Stream, also a part of iCloud, is also intended to make your latest photos accessible on your other iOS devices such as iPhones, Apple TVs and Mac computers. It will only hold 1000 of the latest photos and is supposed to delete them after 30 days. This can give you the opportunity to view photos for awhile, back the photos up in a more conventional manner on your computer and share them with others. It is not a back up and is more of a temparary place to view them. Photos should be transferred to a computer which also has a good back up routine to external sources.
Even though iCloud can hold your iPad Backup file, the back up file does not contain most media files. The iOS backup file is more for quickly getting your devics settings restored if you have an issue with it or want to set up a new device. Your media files must also live else where in a more permanent back up such as on a computer and an external USB drive. For most actions, iCloud pretty much mirrors your iOS devices, delete something from one device it is gone from them all including iCloud.
If you want to remove photos then store and view them from an online source use services such as DropBox or other online photo services such as Flickr.

How can i play music in windows media player and wmp format?

I am trying to preview songs off online music stores such as barnes and noble and borders stores. but i am unable to do so. I get the message "mime type aplication don't have a plug-in intalled for this mim type, it can't be displayed". i downloaded flip4mac and tried playing to but it doesn't work. All the online previews I have com across aren't playing on my mac. Help!

Download and use StuffIt Expander to open the file; if you choose to throw away Windows Media Player later, press the Option key while emptying the Trash.
The Windows Media content in question may contain DRM, in which case there is no Mac software that will play the songs.

How can i export an iD document to JPEG and keep sizing?

I am having issues when it comes to exporting my iD file on CS5.
I will create a document, say 300px by 300px, and then export it but once I upload it to my site the proportions are kept (1:1) but not the size...
Help please.

And exactly what? You have not provided a proper description of your steps and export settings nor any info on your web site, thus peopel have no way of verifying anything. Either way, ask in the ID forum and provide all the necessary details.

My laptop was stolen and all my music is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer it to my new computer and keep the playlists and such?

Hey Everyone,
My apartment was broken into and my laptop was stolen which had my entire iTunes library. I have it all on my iPod Classic now which was with me at the time.
What do you suggest as the best tool to transfer the music FROM my iPod to to my new computer? I know there are some programs out there, what have you had success with?
My most important question is, is there a way to retain my library and especially playlists as it is (instead of copying over a massive bunch of songs)? Most of my music is from music blogs, mixtapes and underground artists so most of it cannot be found in the iTunes store.
Thanks for any help guys!
Vlad.
