Just a flat out ******** and lazy question on my part
alright i know how to get the videos and everything onto the ipod just fine.
what i'm wondering is that is there a dvd ripper program for the PC that for the love of god can convert directly to mpeg4 or ipod format?!?!?!?!?!?
i've been through just about any and everything i can think of and find i have to first rip the dvd to the harddrive in avi or wmv for the most part(there goes hour or two hours of my life) then after that i have to encode it again to mpeg4 or the ipod format for the ipod(another hour and a half)
all i wana do is put dvd's onto my ipod so i can watch them at work cries lol
just curious if any ya'll seen a program that will do it all at once if not i'll just keep ripping movies at the expense of 3 hours of my life spent as downtime...hmmm just like work i guess spend more time doing nothing and watching movies on the ipod than actually work...looking to be like a office space rip off WOOT!!!
now i remember why i did use the cucusoft dvd ripper took WAY to long just tryignt o encode the southpark movie and said would take like 22 hours : / dunno if there is a program issue with the cucusoft stuff or maybe i just have a wrong settign i have no idea : / oh well

Tv out and browser question on N95
when you browse the net whilst connected to the tv via tv out does it show just the little bit of the web page that you see on the screen of the n95 or does it show the whole thing?
Good luck in finding one
There is only two cases (that I know) where the extra resolution of tv out comes into play.
Video Playback.
The tv-out is VGA resolution (640x480) so if you have an MPEG4 movie at VGA resolution it's being resized when you play it on the normal screen but with Tv-out it will get played at VGA on the TV, and it looks very good.
The other mode is slideshow or picture viewing. It will still look exactly like the phone's screen but I believe it's higher resolution.
Cheers!
640K Should be enough for everybody

First time using "communities"! Will add some colour to the question. Within a year of buying this iMac, I moved to London and have only just returned, 10 years later. At my age, I am lucky to remember a password for a month! No way that I remember it from 10 years ago! I have the serial number (of course), but none of the original cd's with instructions, etc. How do I get a new password to permit me access to the computer? Thanks for the help!
Did you follow all the instructions in Step 3, in particular locating the old user?
If it's still not available maybe the following will locate it and the data.
Get free OmniDiskSweeper and run as root. (The link is to earlier versions; you will need to locate the one that's suitable for the OS version you are running. To see that, click on the > About this Mac.) Open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return. Give your admin pword when requested, which won't appear as you type it in. You will also get a scary warning about using sudo; keep going. Hit return again. running as root will allow you to look into other users.
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Be very careful when running as root not to delete anything. root gives you elevated privileges and you can do some severe damage if you start removing things without knowing what you're doing. I take it you just want to look around to see where things are, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Btw, after all that time, I seriously doubt the PRAM battery is still good. That battery, also known as the clock battery, maintains power in the Paramater RAM, which stores some settings including the date and time. If the clock is off, or perhaps some other settings, this may lead to some issues and should be replaced when you can.
EDIT: I don't think you will be able to run OmniDisk after all. The earliest OS it can be installed to is Tiger 10.4, which you probably don't have. But who knows, give it a try anyway. -

Just setting up FCE and have question
This is probably a stupid question but when I set up FCE and select my external drive as my scratch drive, where will the project folder be created? Is it on the external drive with the clips etc. I import or will it be located in the documents folder on the system hard drive?
ThanksIf you set your scratch disk to an external drive, all files created by FCE during capture, rendering, auto-saving, and all support files (waveforms, thumbnails etc.) will be stored into the external drive. Instead your project file (.fcp) will be saved where you decide to, when you issue the Save Project As command. Project files are usually saved into the user document folder of the startup disk.
A Final Cut Express Documents folder is created by FCE in the scratch disk, containing subfolders specific for each use. One specific subfolder (Capture Scratch) will store all media captured by FCE, and you must never delete files from that subfolder, unless you remove the whole project, because they contain your actual movies.
A warning: in FCE a "clip" is in fact a "pointer to" a portion of the media file in the capture scratch folder, it is not the media file itself. When you capture, a new media file is created in the capture scratch folder and a new clip is created in the FCE browser pointing to that media file. But if you remove the clip in FCE you do not remove the corresponding media file. The opposite is also true: if you remove the media file from the folder the clip will still be in the FCE browser (or timeline) pointing to nothing. This is called an offline clip, which may also be reconnected to the same media file manually.

Like the title says. My 1 TB drive failed and unfortunately my computer isn't covered on the replacement program even though my hard drive is the one they are claiming to replace. So that is not a solution just to get that out of the way. So I replaced the hard drive. What I am having trouble with is re-installing my OS. I have 10.6. When I load it and restart it just spits it out and I get the question mark folder. What am I doing wrong is there a step I'm missing? I did do a back up to my Time Machine before the crash. Can I plug it into it and reload format? I'm new to this so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!Well, let's hope that nothing was jiggled out of place when you were installing the new hard drive. Your optical drive may just be out of alignment or the disc you have is "dirty." Get a lint-free cloth and some rubbing alcohol, then clean the disc as thoroughly as you can starting from the center and working outward in a concentric circlular motion. See if that helps. In particular clean the inner portion well.
If this does not help, then you have a problem. You have opened the computer yourself. That action voids all support from Apple. If you take the computer in for service the store may refuse to service the computer. This is not related to your now expired warranty. -
Creative Cloud Desktop on Mavericks logs out and has a red exclamation point.
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with OS Mavericks on it. Since then, I can log into Creative Cloud desktop with no issues and use the app. But once my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up, I will have a red exclamation point on the icon in the menu bar. If I click on the icon in the menu bar it will tell me the problem is with apps and if I click on apps it will eventually update and the red exclamation point will go away. But sometimes, when I click on the creative cloud icon in the menu bar it will say there is a problem with the connection and allows me to retry which will eventually get me back in or sometimes it will have just logged me out and I have to log back in.
It never did this before, I was able to just log in once and it would always be logged in and no network problems.
Any ideas?
Thank you.I had similiar problem and i just stopped using Creative Cloud desktop. There's lot of other issues with that application that cannot be fixed since July.
I doubt that this application was created by some who ever worked on Mac. That's why i would recommend patience and disabling launching at start. -
Mac keeps logging out and blanking screen.
hi.
for some reason my mac just keeps logging out and blanking the screen at random points each day.
its VERY weird.
is there anything i can do about it?There are a number of things that you could try - resetting SMC and PRAM, doing an Apple Hardware Test, reinstalling system software, etc.
But, if I were you, I'd take the unit into an Apple Store or an AASP. But be certain that you backup all of your data before you take it in.
When there's no rhyme nor reason to restarts and 'blank screens' on a daily basis, it's best just to let Apple handle it - they can run tests that aren't available to mere mortals. Could be anything...

Can't figure out how to open Lightroom 5 (part of PS+LR Plan)
Hello. I am a Lightroom 5 beginner. I purchased the monthly '$9.99 photography' package of Photoshop that includes Lightroom 5. I opened the Adobe Application Manager and downloaded and installed Photoshop CC successfully. Then I went to download Lightroom, installed it, and when I went to click 'open' it didn't do anything. I figured I would just close it out and re open, but when I did that it just said 'up to date'. Where can I go to find this now? Sorry I am new to this, and I'm already not the best with computers! I have a Macbook Pro if that helps. I'm sure it's something simple!
You do open the program in the Aplication Manager. You open them like any other program, the installation should have put a shortcut on your desktop, or look in the program manager or mac equivalent.

This is second part of a qyestion: I am working on Airbook, how do I delete forward?
You 'ran out of room' because you tried to put your entire question into what is the 'Topic line' of the post.
This is a fairly common error, as a scan of the topic list will show, and likely due to a design flaw in the layout of the composition page.
Most posters who make this error do so on their first post, and are able to avoid a similar misstep on their second and subsequent questions.

Can I get my Macbook Pro just checked out and tuned up at the genius bar?
I'm having a hard time getting my questions answered. Basically I've had my Macbook Pro for four and a half years, but it's still doing mostly fine. It's just showing it's age slightly I think, with more spinning wheels than usual and odd things like the date is usually set to 1999 when I turn the computer on, but it rights itself in a few minutes. Also most the time when I plug it in it says it's not charging and I have to try multiple times. None of this is a huge deal, it's just that I really need the computer to last me preferably at least another year, so I worry about it a bit. I do take good care of it though. I'm about to move out of the country for a year, so I'd like to get it just checked out and perhaps tuned up a bit so that any problems are taken care of and it's in the best shape before I move away. I'd like to make a genius bar appointment, but the closest Apple store is a two hour drive from my home, so I don't want to go into it not having any idea how much it will cost or if they'll even be able to do what I'm hoping in the span of a single workday. I really don't want to have to drive back later to pick it up or have it sent off somewhere to be repaired, although if it does have serious problems I'd be willing to do that. I'd just like to know going in to it what the price range is likely to be like. I don't want to make the drive to the Apple store and have them tell me it's going to be a few hundred dollars just to have my computer looked over. And I don't even know if they offer that service, let alone if they can do it in a single afternoon. I've tried calling the store and conversations with the automated person really are not helpful. He just tells me to go online and make a reservation, and I can't figure out how to get my questions about cost and service answered.
Also, am I being foolish hoping my four and a half year old Macbook will last at least another year or two? I have no idea what the "life expectancy" is for these things. I know nothing really about computers at all, so forgive my ignorance.
Any help and insight is very much appreciated.The genius bar technicians can check your MBP for possible hardware problems and specific software issues that you may have. The diagnosis will be free. Any extensive repairs will not be free.
If you have minor software problems, you essentially will have to deal with them yourself. Examine these two comprehensive documents for possible problem definition and solutions. If you encounter problems that you are unable to cope with, start a new discussion and there will be persons willing to assist you in solving them.

Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out tomorrow.
Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I have just switched from windows and bought myself a new mac mini, only had it a few weeks and already getting message not enough free space. Help, surely cant be out of space already
It sounds unlikely of course. But from your question it's hard to tell what might have filled your HDD. Are you constantly on file sharing or has filled the drive with movies?
Best way to tell is to start checking what folders occupy space. "Get Info" for the HDD and its subfolders is a way to start checking where the data in question resides.
And as BGreg say, call Apple support is also a good way to begin with.
