Hi,
If you ask this question 10 times you're likely to get 10 different answers. There are some popular converters, but often their popularity is down to the fact that they may be free! What is important is that the 3rd party converter is capable of coping with "mux'd" files, these are files where the video and audio tracks are as one. Frequently ppl post problems with asking why there's no audio on their converted video...this is mainly due to the fact the the converter is unable to deal with mux'd files.
Speaking from experience I use the Xilisoft product, they are similarly priced to the sw you have found and although there are many people who dislike the sw, I have found it utterly trouble free and so easy to use. If you decide to opt for the software you linked let us know how you get on...
Good Luck

I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1

I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1 with no luck. I am able to open docx files with the converters I have installed but not pptx files.

The PPTX file type is primarily associated with 'Power Point' by Microsoft Corporation.
This is the new format for Microsoft Office documents.
It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction.
To open Office 2008 for Mac documents (format .xlsx, .docx, .pptx) in Office for Mac 2004, you must download and install the Open XML File Format Converter. This article describes how to obtain and install the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac.

Instead of all that, and buying OfficeMac etc...
Try to see if the FREE LibreOffice suite will open the file on your Mac.

There is a program unfortunately just called "Cookie" (so I can't be successful doing a search here) that is supposed to help protect our private information that resides on our computers. Has anyone used this and is it worth buying?

Unfortunately this discussion forum has changed and become confusing indeed. It wanted me to put my entire question in a Subject box which wasn't labeled as such, and I find this strange. Especially since now it tells me to repeat my question in this box, so here goes.
Has anyone here used a program called 'Cookie' that is supposed to protect our private information from sites which could retrieve it when we surf the Net. If so, do you consider the program worth buying?

If you are referring to Cookie from SweetP Productions, I have tried it and not found it to work reliably, so I cannot recommend it. I've had the best results with the same company's free Safari Cookies, though it's not perfect (none of the cookie managers are, unfortunately):

HT5624 I've opened up iTunes and went to buy a song, but then it came up with a box saying "this is the first time you are purchasing an item on this computer" even though my computer is authorised. What do i do?

I've opened up iTunes and went to buy a song, but then it came up with a box saying "this is the first time you are purchasing an item on this computer" even though my computer is authorised. Then when i put in my password it takes me to the security questions and i dont know what the answers are. What do i do?

A computer can be authorized to play content purchased using a particular Apple ID (the iTunes Store account). However, being authoized to play content is not directly related to being able to buy content using that Apple ID.
For example, a parent may purchase content for a child and authorize the child's computer to play that content, but that does not mean the child is able to purchase content using that Apple ID.
If this is your Apple ID, you should know the answers to the security questions. If you do not, you'll need to contact Apple iTunes Store customer support

C3-01 or 01.5 worth buying?

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple bar phone to replace my current one.
I saw the C3-01 and was wondering if it's worth buying. Also, there seems to be a 01.5 version aswell but I can't find it anywhere on the Nokia site, does anyone know the difference between these two?
Thank you in advanced.

Listen man.. i have a c3-01 now for maybe a year and allround i'm satisfied. It does everything i needed and that is:receiving mails with different emails and that is made really good in c3-01.I have 6 mail accounts set and can choose with which one i want to receive! 2nd the Mini-Opera browser works really fine so facebook,twitter is really no problem to check often! The battery is good too.. i just have to charge it once a day! Even "whatsapp" works great with this phone and is very popular nowadays and is a very cheap mobile kind of msn!
3rd:the speaker goes very loud.. and you can play mp3 songs maybe for 6hours NON STOP!!! Radio i don't know.
The disadvantages: sometimes my phone just shuts off and then restarts itself! Really weird! And on wifi it works so bad that i only surf on mobile internet package of my phone provider.. even when i'm at home! I tried everything but it don't work on wifi!
But for this money you get what you need.. if you want to surf easy and mail and stuff and you don't want to buy an iphone or other smartphones..

Is it worth buying the ipad 2 when ipad 4 is already there in market ?

Is it worth buying the ipad 2 when ipad 4 is already there in market ?
I was planning to buy Apple iPad 2 64 GB + 3G but is it worth when iPad 4 is already here cuz I cannot afford the 3rd gen or 4rth gen ?
Will it be able to work fine even after 2 yrs or so ? Will get ios 7 or whatever update after ios 6 ?

Apple does not currently sell a new 64GB iPad 2; only a 16GB model. Do you really need a 64GB model? The iPad 4 has more features than the iPad 2 and is much faster. Since this is a user to user forum, and not Apple employees, we have no way to know Apple's plans for iOS 7.

Worth buying the Xperia Z3 Compact ? And a question about headphones.

Worth buying the Xperia Z3 Compact, compared to Xperia Z3?
And a doubt. I have had other Xperias, and headphones from other brands did not work well with him, this ''Z3 line'' is yet? It only works with Sony headphones?
Thank You!

Well, the headphone jack is designed to be compatible with Noise Cancelling headphones from Sony, that uses 5 pins in the pole, however, a regular 3 segments headphones should work without issues... the problem is if you try to use incompatible Headsets (the ones with microphones) since the use an additional segment and it my be located in a different way than what Sony uses.
My advice is, if you are not the most hardcore audiophile, that you get a medium range Bluetooth Headphones. Those will be compatible with your phone...
I have had Altec Lansing BackBeat 906, 903... Plantronics BackBeat 903+, and currently use the BackBeat Go2.
Out of those the Go2 are the best sounding headphones for me (I do not care for tons of bass, so the amount of bass with those is very good)... but the battery is bad, around 3.5 hours. The fit is good, people complain when trying to use as advertised, but I actually found a better way to place them, making a loop around and front of my ears...... Price ~70$
All previous ones had a battery of 7 hours, but the rubber material of the piece around your ear hardens with time and breaks (after a couple of years of use)... the Go2 seems to be better built.
Finally I would recommend to you the Jaybirds Bluebuds X if you are willing to pay 140~160 $.... with excellent battery life, and sound quality.
If you want to go cheaper... Sony's SBH line has plenty of option with good reviews... SBH20 being the cheapest
And if you want to go crazy expensive, Parrot Zik are over 400$ but apparently they are the best all around. I tried them once.

Is it worth buying the Airport N Upgrade.

Hi,
Is it worth buying the N upgrade for my Macbook. I have an Intel Core Duo and no problems with my network e.g. no network drop outs etc.
Would the N upgrade boost my network performance or anything else?
Thanks,
Andrew.

I have an Airport Extreme (802.11n) and a C2D Black Macbook, and this is my first experience using "802.11n".
Compared to 802.11b/g, there's no difference in internet browsing speeds--it's no faster on my Mac than it is on my XP notebook (802.11g). However, I will tell you that 802.11a (5Ghz) gets a lot less interference and the range is mildly increased for me (avg. 1 more bar than 802.11g). To my knowledge, the original Core Duo Macbooks do support 802.11a
File transfer is a whole other story... I run a 40GB hard drive off of the Airport Extreme and you can see a HUGE difference between my Macbook (running 802.11n) vs. my XP machine (802.11g).
Unless you are doing a lot of file transfer between machines on your network, it will not make any difference.

Which 2012 13" MacBook Pro model is worth buying?

I was wondering which 2012 13 inch MacBook Pro I should buy. I can see that there is a difference between the models in their processors and RAM but I don't really know what good they would do for me as a student and casual gamer. Which model is worth buying for my needs and can you please explain why? I know that there is almost a $300 difference between them, but I have no idea if paying more is really necessary.
Thanks.

Yes, in the case of memory 8GB will cover everything, at tops the system (OS X Mavericks) uses around 4GB to run smoothly leaving the rest for programs to run. Even memory intensive games or photoshop use around 2GB leaving some free for 'movement' I have been using 8GB when video editing (2 screens) and very rarely slow up and when it does slow down that's due to my slow harddrive. For what you need highly recommend an 8GB (Welcome to the reassurance of macs, good choice). Happy to help

[Solved] Worth buying the book? Linux Kernel Internals

Dear Arch Community,
Yesterday I succesfully installed arch on my old laptop for testing purposes, and it's been great.
But I find that I simply lack a tad of knowledge about the internals (seeing I want to work towards LFS, and I'm comming from xubuntu with i3wm) so I installed Arch.
To go deeper into linux, I figured a book would be another resource, together with the arch wiki.
However, the only book (yes, i'd like a physical book for this one) I'm able to find only handles linux kernel version 2.6. We're at about 3.2/3.3 now.
source: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Lin … 0596005652
My question to you is; how much changes are there? Is it worth buying the book, or should I wait a little for the next Linux Kernel Internals book to come out (if there is any planned)
Thanks for any information,
Kind regards,
MatRoo

You don't really need to know the internals of the kernel for any of that stuff. LFS is just following a really long guide consisting mostly of compiling packages. I did it once a few years back on a virtual machine. The most you'll need to know about the kernel is how to configure and compile it. LAMP doesn't really touch the kernel at all. In fact you can run Apache, MySQL, and PHP on a Windows box and the configuration doesn't change all that much.
For most things all you need to know is the kernel is a big blob of code that makes your hardware work. I'm not trying to dissuade you from learning however, that's always a positive thing so if kernel internals are what you're interested in then read up but unless you're doing something really low level or help contribute to the kernel I'm not seeing much practical use. If you do webdev, it may be a better use of your time to learn some more PHP or MySQL instead.
I know i dont have to, but I'd like to know what's happening under the hood when I'm doing my stuff.
The original questions stays :-) Is it worth buying the book if I want to know the internals, since the book only covers 2.6, and we're a tad past version 2.6.
Thanks for your reply in any case tough :-)

Is it worth buying an ios4?

Hey,
just wondering what you think about this. Some of you have already bought an iphone 4, but i'm wondering wether it's really worth buying it now- or waiting until the new upgrade shows up...?
I mean iphone 4...2? or whatever it's called. Not just an online upgrade but an iphone upgrade like iphone 3g upgrade to iphone 3gs to iphone 4!
Thanks

Apple only releases a new iPhone once per year, so if the past is anything to go by, the next iPhone will not be released until Summer 2011.
Nobody here knows what the next iPhone will be like, or what features you want, so it is impossible to say whether you should wait or not.
If the iPhone 4 does all you want, buy one now.

HT1657 I rented a movie and started playing it, but it stopped downloading, and didnt finish within the 24hrs it should... Now I didnt watch crap and dont have a refund nor do I have a way to watch it, and worse yet no way to even re-buy it....

I want to see what i rented or get refndeed...

Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

Help!!!!! I need to get iphoto lib off of hd which is running really slowly, and clicks rather more loudly than usual, how do i do this, im even on my iphone asking this! Computer also runs inly marginally faster in safe boot mode! Could the apple store help?

It certainly sounds like your harddrive is dying. I would Immediately backup your harddrive to an external USB or Firewire harddrive Before doing anything else. It just may save your data in time before you lose it all.
Hope this helps
