I am an Mac 10.6 Lion user?  How do I convert a .ram file (for a bit of sound) into using with Quicktime?

Having difficulty with a .ram file.  I want to convert it to use with Quicktime.
I also have realised however that my pupil for a lesson (the file is for language-lesson) does not have a Mac anyway, so maybe she won't have Quicktime.  I can ask her to download the latter then.
But -however, the question remains, how can I hear the soundfile and make it compatible with Quicktime?
Sincerely,
Susan.

And just for clarity's sake. 10.6 is Snow Leopard; Lion is OS X 10.7. For future questions it will help if you are accurate in the version of Mac OS X you have.
Regards.

  • I have a WD 2 tb hard drive that I want to use to back up my Mac Pro quad core.  How do I create a back up startup disk?  Also, when I used Time macine, it only backed up users and not the system or library folders.  Ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
    If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html

    lower your font size unless you have difficulty
    MS Security Essentials is excellent
    Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. If you've recently plugged anything into the audio-out (headphone) port, plug and unplug it a couple of times.
    2. From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
    Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
    3. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size.Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
    5. Reset the NVRAM.
    6. Reset the SMC.
    7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
    8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • How do i convert protected AAC files to MP3 files on a Mac

    How do i convert protected AAC files to MP3 files on a Mac?

    There has to be another way.
    No, there isn't.
    You can use a CD-RW instead of CD-R.
    It will not play on most CD-players, but should play fine on your computer.

  • Need to reinstall Mac OS after lion update, how to?

    Hello guys,
    I recently brought my MBP 15" and imediatly downloaded Mac OS X Lion via apple store, but I after sometime I realized that screwed up some settings during initial setup. Now I need to reinstall(format) my current OS to fix what I've done.
    First question: Is there a way to change those initial setup settings (like MAC-pc name) without formating it?
    Second question: if not, will I need to buy Mac Lion again to reinstall it? (cause, as far as I know, there's no such thing as a Retail Lion DVD on stores)??
    Third question: How should I procede to format my current OS? Cause I got only a snow leopard Retail DVD and the restoration DVD that came with the MBP box. Unfortunately, both are not working to restore a Mac Lion OS.
    I kinda know what I'll have to do: Format with Snow Leopards DVD and then download Lion via Apple store again, but I'm just wondering if there's anyother possibilities.
    Thank you for your time guys. bb

    Changing your computer name is trivial and does not require a re-install.  In fact, almost nothing requires a re-install.  The only thing I can think of would be if you need to reformat the partition for some reason.
    Go to System Preferences
    Go to Sharing
    Make sure the lock at the bottom left is unlocked
    Enter new computer name at the top
    That's it!
    You definitely do not need to re-install snow leopard ever again, even if you do decide you need a Lion redo.  Just boot your machine while holding Command-R.  You will get a Recovery Install option.

  • How do I convert my pc version of Photoshop Elements 5.0 into a mac version??

    I am original purchaser and owner of Photoshop elements 5.0, how can I convert it to a mac computer from my old pc?? Thanks

    You will need to buy elements 9 or 10, then install that in windows and make a full backup, then restore to the mac version, if you use organizer. If not, you will just need to get a newer version of PSE. PSE 6 through 10 works in lion. For mountain lion, I would go for 9 or 10.
    EDIT The boxed versions of PSE 9 and 10 come with the media to install on both platforms. The downloads don't, but you could install in windows as a trial and that would give you time to get your backup done and transferred.

  • How do I find my ics files for iCal calendars in Lion?

    The migration from mobileme to iCloud destroyed my home calendar.  I'm trying to restore. 
    The files in /library/calendar have funny names that don't map to home.ics or work.ics. 
    Where are the local copies of .ics files and how can I restore them in iCal?

    Hi
    The .ics files for the different calendars are in "/Users/<username>/Library/Calendars/<ID>.calendar"
    In every "<ID>.calendar" directory you find a "Info.plist" file that contains the name of the calendar. You can quick look the Info.plist file to see the name of the calendar.

  • Hi, how do i convert a .csv file to a .SIF file on mac book?

    Hi, i am unable to convert a .csv file to a .SIF file on my mac. does anyone know how please?

    Open it in Preview, Duplicate and Save as JPEG.  It's advisable to add the extension ".jpeg" to the filename when you save.

  • Mac OS X Lion Users: Please Post Experience Here .. Thank You.

    Not sure how many upgraded .. but some of you have posted favorable results.

    For what it's worth: I'm merely a hobbyist and have no production-level experience with video editing.  Nor do I want it. ;-)  So my use of PPro is somewhat limited.  I didn't upgrade, rather I nuked my system disk from orbit and re-installed from scratch.  I don't like doing OS upgrades, regardless of the OS (WindBlows, OS X, Linux, etc).
    All that said: I haven't had one lick of trouble with Lion and PPro.

  • I'm a new mac user-- how do i convert files?

    I am so new at this mac thing. i love the MBP so far but i had a pc before and i wanted to get some files on my new mac but i need to convert them so that they open using my mac. the files are just some word files and some pics and some music.. thanks for any input in advance.

    First of all, welcome to the bright side! ; )
    Seriously, I am sure you will enjoy your new Mac experience.
    About the files. Word documents can be open without any conversion using Word for Mac. The compatibility is close to 100%. You can also see some of those documents using the included TextEdit application that came included in the operating system. Pages also manages Word documents.
    When you talk about music, what kind of files are you using? For MP3 you can use iTunes, no conversion needed. For WMA, you can first convert them to AAC in iTunes for PC and then import them to your library in the Mac. You can also download the Windows Media Player for Mac from www.mactopia.com to listen to your WMA using that player, but I would strongly recommend to use iTunes since that application works with the rest of the iLife suite (iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, iWeb and Garageband).
    For pics, move your pictures to a folder and then import them or just drag and drop that folder in the iPhoto window. All the files require no conversion at all.
    Again, welcome!

  • Please Help, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, Top tool bar disappears-File, Edit, View, ETC missing at full screen. How do I get it back?

    When i have the window at full screen, my top portion of the tool bar dissapears. I have checked all settings but unable to get it back. What do I do? Thanks 

    The menu bar is hidden in fullscreen mode, as is the Dock (I assume that's what you mean by "the bottom toolbar").  That is normal, and that is how it has always worked for as long as fullscreen mode has existed (which isn't very long yet).  If you want those things to remain visible, you have to exit fullscreen mode.  Put your mouse at the top of the screen, so the menu bar appears, and then click the blue rectangle with arrows at the far right side of the menu bar.

  • I bought a Mac a week ago. How do I get the new iWork for free?

    The title explains it all. I bought the new 13" MacBook air in a retail store last week, and when I tried to download the apps from the Mac App Store, they cost money. How do I get them for free?

    Hi.  If you want it to get updated, this should take care of it.
    1. Uninstall iWork from your Mac.
    2. Do a fresh install of iWork from DVD.
    3. Install iWork update from Apple Downloads (direct link here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563)
    4. Sign into the Mac App Store, and check for updates.  It should now show up as a free update.  You may have to give it a few minutes (i.e. 10-15 minutes).
    I've been a Windows user for years, so I know all of the tricks by now.  I had hoped I would not need this knowledge for a Mac, but oh well...
    Good luck.

  • Lion iCal:  How to view many calendars, but reminders for only one

    I'm in an all MAC office setting.  I havea MacBook Pro 15 with Lion OS.  I get pop up reminders for the seven colleagues whose calendars I have selected.  I only want pop up reminders for my own calendar, but don't see any way to make that happen.  Opening the "REMINDERS" drop down box at the top of the right hand sidebar removes calendar entries from view (not what I want) and has the same functionality as the "Calendars" button at the top left of the iCal window. Any recommendations would be deeply appreciated. 

    What exactly is the "Location" calendar? Is it an actual .ics calendar? Or is it a list of locations in directory? If it's not actually a calendar, then it won't show up in the Calendar application. If you want to connect to your LDAP server, you can do that, and it will show up in Address Book, but I don't think locations will be seen. I have not confirmed this though.
