Managing an iriver H300 mp3 player on a MacBook Pro running Leopard)

I have an iRiver H300 MP3 player.
I want to manage it from my MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.5.2). I am not using iTunes for this, so maybe this is the wrong place to post this (apologies if that is the case).
I have a bunch of .MP3 files I want to copy to the H300. When I plug the H300 into my MBP it shows up as a drive (formatted FAT32) and I can copy folders with MP3's to it. Also, I can delete files. So far so good.
PROBLEM: I cannot reclaim the garbage space (empty the trash) and the MP3's I drag over include a bunch of files that start with "._xxxx" that are empty. Then when I try to play the new songs they won't play because they first try to play all of the empty files.
For now, I can fix the problem because I have an old WinXP machine around that allowed me to locate and get rid of the extra files, but I would prefer not to have to use it every time I want to add or replace music on my iRiver player.
How can I see all of the files on the H300? And, manage it like any other hard drive so I can copy stuff to it and also erase stuff from it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
yours,
Bill

If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

Just upgraded to MacBook Pro running 10.8.4. Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes. Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade. Called Apple 2x.

Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.
What does "old movies" mean to you? File type, audio and/or video compression format(s)?
Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade.
Did you follow the instructions found here?
If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
To which fix do you refer? Activatng QT 7 Pro or converting the files? Even with QT 7 Pro activated you may need to modify your QT codec component configuration depending on the file type and compression formats used to encode your "old movies." There may be many different problems here with each having one or more "fixes." Please try to be more specific regarding your questions. Converting a muxed VOB MPEG2/AC3 file would be very different different from converting an AVI DivX5/MP3 file depending on which application you are attempting to use.

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
Their player, plays the video without a problem!

I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
Call back if you need any further help.

Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd
Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.
You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.
At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
This will bring up the Help Menu.

Connecting my Sony BD player to my MacBook Pro wireless network. It sees the network but it then asks for a WPA security key. Where do I find this key?

Connecting my Sony BD player to my MacBook Pro wireless network. It sees the network but it then asks for a WPA security key. Where do I find this key?

Hi Michael,
It sounds like your router's authentication is set to WPA and thus where the key is established. Does your MacBook Pro connect to a wireless router? If so, that's where you'd need to get the key from via a web-based control panel for the router or if it's an AEBS via AirPort Utility.

I got a bead stuck in the disc player in my MacBook Pro, I can hear the head when I move the laptop, how do I remove it?

I got a head stuck in the disc player of my MacBook Pro, I can hear the bead inside the disc player when I move the laptop, how do I get it out?

Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

MP3 player just with Spotify for running / gym

Bring spotify to the gym or running!!!!
It would be great if there was a mp3 player like the Ipod shuffle but just for spotify. You connect the mp3 player with the computer or via Wi-fi and get your favorite playlist on the device.
All mp3 players on the market that can do that and have those features are too expensive or too big .
We NEED a spotify mp3 player ASAP. I need to work out with my spotify playlist!! :)

I've just thought of the same thing (thought I was being original! :P)! Having to carry a heavy and expensive phone around on a run made me think of a longing for a smaller and simpler device which just did music. I don't want to call or play angry birds on the go!
Would be good if there was an option for mobile connectivity (3G/4G), that way it wouldn't have to be linked to a computer to have access to playlist - and would be open to spotify free customers too. The way of this working would be to have it included on existing phone tariffs. You just pay for the device and it can be included on your plan. Would obviously need cooperation of mobile service providers.
Maybe there could be variants also, some that stream music and some which store music in the device- in keeping with the philosophy of spotify.
it would be cool to have a device that is spotify only (with branding on it etc). ..
i envisaged a circular device which had the play/pause button on the main face of the device (indented slightly so it's easy to distinguish and use) and the volume adjuster working as the bezel (like a watch chronograph adjuster) - you could be very precise with adjustment and would fit seamlessly in with the design.
I would have it in matte black so it's discreet with the spotify logo on the front main face (acting like the play/pause button).
It would be important to make sure it's simple and intuitive to use so you don't have to look at it to use it. It would also be able to be priced competitively.
BUT, the fact that an iPod shuffle can be used to sync with spotify sorta covers this issue.... Just... However, My issue with the shuffle is the fact that you have to use controls on earphones to use it that is frustrating at times (if you don't have earphones which have that capability!). Having the button on the device opens up the options to everyone.
ive even thought of a name for the thing: Spotifygo (or SpotifyGo)
:)

Best WMA to MP3 batch converter for MacBook Pro

Half of the music that I've collected over the years, and now transferred onto my new MacBook Pro, is in the WMA format.
I am looking for a program that can batch convert ALL of these files to MP3, putting the MP3s in the same folders as the WMA files currently are, and then I will delete the WMA files.
Is there any program that can help me with this? At the moment I can only listen to half of my songs in iTunes!
Many thanks

EasyWMA is a popular one for the Mac. Switch can also do it.
Or, if you happen to have access to a PC, iTunes for Windows can convert WMA to MP3, after which you can bring the MP3 files to your Mac on a flash drive..
then I will delete the WMA files.
It's about time.
Steve - one additional note: Make sure your files are normal unprotected WMA files, since protected WMA cannot be converted. Protected WMAs could have happened if you ever ripped a CD using the default settings of Windows Media Player, or if you ever bought tracks from one of the many (now-defunct) online stores that sold songs in protected WMA format.
