Is quicktime the best, or is there another way?

I was wondering is quicktime really the best way to import movies, cause it seems to take forever. I use mediafork and it puts the files into a quicktime format, so is there something better and faster out there, or is what i'm using now decent.

Although that thread is about PowerBook, the info there will apply for you, too.
If you have specific questions after that, post in iSight as Tom suggests, and we will help there.

  • I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

    I hope there is a solution to this problem note that I can not use the iPad now

    Your question makes no sense and I'm not sure if you typed very quickly and autocorrect went nuts on you, or if you are not a native English speaker and Google Translate didn't work properly. If you are saying that you forgot the passcode to unlock the iPad, follow the instructions here.

    I am one of those people who will not allow intrusions into personal information (will not accept permissions). Is there another way to download Firefox for Android other than through Google Play?

    Please note that that file does not have an updater. We generally point users to the Aurora build of Firefox for Android as it has a self updater. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/

  • Would like to upgrade to Acrobat 11 Pro but do not want a subscription or to have it on the Cloud.  Is there another way to purchase an upgrade

    I am currently using Acrobat Pro 9 and would like to upgrade to Acrobat 11 Pro.  I do NOT want a subscription or do I want my software on the Cloud.  Is there a way to purchase Acorbat 11 Pro as a full upgrade?

    You can, but Adobe is doing its best to hide it, it seems... To do so go here: PDF creator, edit PDF | Adobe Acrobat XI subscription
    Click the yellow "Buy" button on the right, under Acrobat XI Pro. Now, under the "I want to buy" drop-down, select "Upgrade".
    Then select the product you currently own, the OS, etc., and continue with the purchase process through the cart.
    This will give you a full, not time-based, license of Acrobat XI Pro.

  • I have a new iMac i want to install adobe photoshop elements 10, I only have the DVDs.  Is there another way of installing this software?

    I have just bought the latest 27 inch imac.  I tried to install my adobe photoshop elements 10 dvd and found no drive.  Is there any other way to install this software onto the computer? It is already installed on my macbook pro, is there an option to transfer the files?

    No I meant to "borrow" the other Mac's optical drive, with the new Mac as the Target. cornelius puts it succinctly here, except we're not talking about a Mac with a broken drive. And you would select the Adobe DVD, not the "install disc."
    I suggest that you get a firewire cable. Then boot the computer with the working optical drive into Firewire Target Disk Mode, startup the computer with the broken drive and hold down the Option key. Then select the install disk as boot and startup and proceed with installation.

    Actually, I think cornelius's post isn't exactly what's required, but I think you get the idea.

    ■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' <br> then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
    <br> note a choice of options is usually available
    * see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
    Firefox is of course a web browser. <br>Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
    Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

        Hello andrewutrbk209! My apologies for the trouble you're having with this! Do you have another phone you can use temporarily to retrieve the code via text? If not, we can mail you out the code via the mail. Those would be the available options to register for your My Verizon Account. http://vz.to/1yYAme5 If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks!

  • TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

    My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. 

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.

  • What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist?  I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased.  Is there another way?

    What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist?  I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased.  Is there another way?

    Well in order to keep all the ratings, playcounts ect ect of songs in iTUnes, place the songs back into there original folders/places on the "Old harddrive" by cutting (Not copying) them from the new Harddrive. Now iTunes should report the songs has being there and have ! marks beside the imported folder from your external Harddrive.
    Now you will delet the dead/broken links (Or missing music from the new drive)in iTUnes. Goto Ottos site for a script that will remove dead links and other things here
    Just download, unzip, and run the program.
    http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/QuickScripts.zip
    Now with everything in place and the dead links removed you will either consolidate the library or set it to copy to another Folder. If you consolidate it moves ALL your music listed in iTunes to the "iTunes Music" folder and can not be reversed. If you set it to copy, it will just copy music from its current folder to the iTunes music folder. You will have to pick the best option for you but consolidating will work best if your trying to free up space. To consolidate goto "Advanced" and select "Consolidate Library". To copy goto Edit>preferenses>Advanced tab>general sub tab and check "Copy FIles to iTunes music Folder when added to library". THis location is also where you will change the location of iTunes Music folder from your old harddrive to the new one by hitting the "Change" button above the reset button
