MSN for Mac Issue (Don't know where else to put this)

I took a picture using photobooth, and tried to use it as my MSN display picture. It always says it doesn't work make sure its the right format, but my friend has an iMac and it works for him fine. Is it something to do with the MacBook Pro or something, and if you know how to fix this please tell me...
Thanks
P.S if theres a better forum for this just let me know, I couldn't find it, thanks.

What format is the saved pic ?(jpeg, gif)
What format does MSN want/need ?

Mighty Mouse Question (I don't know where else to put this)

I bought a MacBook about two months ago, had some problems, had it replaced, and have loved it ever since.
But now I'm having some trouble with my Mighty Mouse that I bought at the same time as the MacBook. Last night, the scroll bar stopped working. Not completely, but it only will scroll down, and not up. This morning I tried it again, and it didn't work. I also tries using it in my sister's laptop, a PC, and it had the same problem. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem, now.
My question is: can I get a replacement, or am I going to have to buy a new one? They're not cheap mice, and it's not like it's old or anything. Also, if anyone has any magical ways to fix it, that'd be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

I had the same problem with the Mighty Mouse. After two months of aggravation, my boyfriend took it apart to see what the problem was. It's actually glued together, rather than just snapping back in place. We figured out that the problem was that the ball got dirty (as they all do), but because the Mighty Mouse bottom piece is actually glued to the mouse, we weren't able to put it back together properly, even with glue. So, now the Mighty Mouse (after only two months of use) in the electronic recycling box and we are using a generic mouse. We had wanted to buy a wireless Mighty Mouse (love the placement of the scrolling ball), but if you can't take it apart to clean the rolling ball and it stops working, then it is simply bad design.

I don't know where else to ask this: Quick Question about Logic Platinum 6

Hi everyone,
This question actually pertains to a copy of Logic Platinum 6 I own but I don't know where else to ask it, so here I am in the Logic 8 forum.
I haven't touched Logic in a year or maybe two, and I just installed it on my computer and after attempting to start it up with two different XS keys (I thought I lost one so I have a replacement and I forget which one is the active one) it says "no XS key found" to both of them.
I want to upgrade to Logic 8 but in the mean time I can't even get Logic 6 to recognize my XS key.
Please help me out if you have any information that would be beneficial or know where I could seek help!
Thank you!
Colin C.

When you plugin them in, are they recognised in System Profiler? Try differnt ports, connecting them directly and not on a hub. Try on a different computer if necessary.
You can also try running:

This is not a Mac problem. It's a known issue (although not recognized by Microsoft), it's just a flaw on the Windows Live network. it happens on the Windows client too time to time. The exact reasons are unknown.

Don't know where else to post this, Can you run the old MS DOS on a Mac?

The company I work for is a PC based invironment. I can of course get around most of that but there is one huge stumbling block.
Believe it or not, the company is still using an old MS DOS application to look up orders over the network.
Is there currently anyway to run a DOS program of my PowerBook G4? If not will these new MacBooks be able to?
Thanks,
-Tom

Yes using Virtual PC on your G4 PowerBook.
The new MacBooks can not run Virtual PC, however can dual boot with Windows XP SP2 and if the DOS applications can run on XP SP2 then you will be able to run them.

I don't know where else to post this. iTunes Remote Application

I know they have the application "Remote" so you can control iTunes from your iPod Touch or iPhone, but is there an application that you can control your iPod Touch or iPhone from your iTunes? I see this useful because right now my computer is a laptop, therefore anytime I'm listening to music on it, I'm usually right there, no need for the remote application. But I see it as if my iPod were in a docking station or stereo, it would make sense to have an application that runs on your computer, that you can control your iPod right from your computer, or atleast like a play/pause, skip, volume type thing.

Could you please copy/paste the link where this video that doesn't work is supposed to appear on? Perhaps we can see if this problem is limited to your settings, or is an actual server issue.

Best keyboard and mouse for typesetting and design (not sure where else to put this)

So, we got a new Mac Pro. I don't think this keyboard is going to work so well for typesetting. Too little travel on the keys I think. And the wireless mouse.... it's OK but I definitely need something different.
Pros and Cons
Apple keyboard: Pros - The function keys at the top for controlling audio, ejecting the CD tray, screen brightness etc.
Cons - You have to hold the "fn" key and hit F12 to get to the Widgets. Didn't have to do that with our G5 keyboard. Metal body.... I'm CONSTANTLY shocking myself on this thing from the static of the carpet. Key travel.... they don't go down very far. Not sure if that is desirable or not.
Magic Mouse: Pros - Multitouch surface is nice for moving left and right when zoomed in on something or moving an image around. The other multitouch gestures are pretty cool as well. It's wireless, that's nice. Havent had one of those before.
Cons - It just feels like crap in my hand. It doesn't have the standard "hump" that most mice have to fill up your hand.
So... what do people think? Ideas? Thoughts?

TwitchOSX wrote:
Well... turning on the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" makes the F12 go to the Widgets panel and F11 makes all the windows flow out off the edges so you can see the desktop, but then nothing else works so the F3 key that makes all the windows small and shows the different desktops doesn't work, the brightness keys don't do anything, the audio keys don't do anything...... argh. It's one or the other!
Not true. The setting reverses the function of the Fn key. So to adjust brightness you have to press "Fn + F1/F2", and without Fn it does what F1 ought to do. (Barring what John says; the system takes precedence in stealing functions.)
There is no way to get what you want: both sets of functions at once. Perhaps you could have a custom keyboard made, with two rows of function keys. (In the Good Ol' Days of WordPerfect 5, you could buy a custom keyboard with four rows of function keys, one for each of "Plain", "Alt", "Shift", and "Control" modifiers. Only for the truly lazy, too wary to press-and-hold a modifier key for a quarter of a second.)

Sorry, I didn't know where else to put this. My email was hacked so I had to make a new one and naturally I changed my iTunes account too. I had previously redeemed a $50 gift card on my own account and was wondering if there was any way in restoring it?

Try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

I have iLife '05 on my computer. I'm trying to upgrade to iLife '06. I can't even get the DVD to install the software onto my computer. I get to the point of registering and then receive a message that there was an error and to try installing again. I don't know what to do now.
Thanks everyone,

Hi Mike,
I'm moving my question to the location that Jeff suggested. I don't have another computer to try the disk in, however, since I've tried installing the iLife disk, I'm having problems trying to install completely different software.
Thanks,

Don't Know Where Else to Ask:Website Not Loading on Any Mac But Does on PCs

Strange.
For a couple weeks now accuweather.com will not load on any of 10 Macs at 3 different locations - which are a good 10 miles apart (whether in Firefox, Safari, or Chrome), but that site loads instantly on PCs using the same ISP (Cox) - my staff have confirmed this from their homes. All other websites seem to be zipping just fine on all the Macs.
Anyone have an idea as to why and what I might do to get back to my weather website?

Deleted cookies (and cache and history and everything else) long before posting - on all 3 browsers, on different Macs at different locations. No joy - but still this inability to load happens ONLY on this one website (I look at several dozen a day, at a minimum, and over the course of a week, up to a couple hundred).
Actually this inability to load this one site is affecting 10 Macs scattered between 3 very remote sites - the ONLY common factor is all are at 10.6.2, and Cox is the ISP (but like I said - Cox is delivering this website fine to Windows users on my staff, at their homes).
Absolutely nothing changed on the Macs themselves. I always wait 6 - 8 weeks after updates come out just to make sure all is stable before putting my economic life on the line. No Mac updates installed during that time frame. The only change along the way was upgrading Firefox a few weeks ago, but I can't see how that would impact Safari or Chrome (which have not been touched in a month). Also - this behavior did not manifest right after updating FF.
I did boot FF into Safe Boot and that didn't do anything.
Any more thoughts?
Thanks (anyone)!

Ever since downloading and opening Firefox 4 beta, when I try to launch 3.6.8, I get an error message saying that Firefox is already running; it is not. I have removed 4.0 beta from the computer, but don't know where else to look for any bits and pieces.

I need to restart the computer in order to launch FF 3.6.8. Also, in Dreamweaver CS5, I have defined FF 3.6.8 as my default browser, but when I try to view a page in FF, I get the same message that FF is already running. Where else do I need to look to find hidden files that are causing this?

Did you uninstall the Firefox 4.0 beta version ?
If you did then did you remove the personal data or otherwise removed to Firefox profile folder ?
Make sure that you still have a (default) Firefox profile folder.<br />

Forgive me, I'm not completely knowledgeable on my mac, so I don't know what airport I have, but as I've seen around here a lot of people are having problems with airport extreme. I have a Powerbook G4 i bought in 05 that is having a difficult time connecting to my router. it is a netgear WPN824 router. I don't know if that mac has Airport extreme or not, so I was hoping you could tell me so I knew how to approach the problem. I think there's a problem with my router because not only can my mac not connect, but my ps3 and psp also cannot.
We get signal throughout the house, but we cant get online other than on my imac desktop. Is there ANY help i can get? I have looked around the other posts about similar problems, but I didnt get any information that worked for me. please help. I dont want to call Geek Squad and get raped in prices.

Second step. Make sure all of your Macs are running the latest version of the OS - 10.5.5 (You tag line shows 10.5.3)
Best way to do this:
Open Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions
Download the 10.5.5 updater from http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_5_ComboUpdate
Open and run the 10.5.5 Combo Updater.
Restart the Mac then Open Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions again.
If you have already used Software Update to update your systems to 10.5.5, it is still a good idea to run the Combo updater. Apparently it does a better job with fewer glitches than the SU incremental updater.
If those two steps don't work, post in this forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1222
Hope that helps.

TS1424 I am having issues downloading music from iTunes, it comes up saying an unknown error has occurred - please check your network connection. Now I can connect to iTunes store and have itunes as an exception for downloads so don't know what else to do

Hello, I've started having an issue downloading songs and apps from iTunes to our PC which has Windows XP Professional installed. We also use Karspersky Anti-Virus and Firefox as an internet browser. Have never had this issue before, it comes up with "An unknow error has occured and downloads are stopped with an error 8003. Also says please check your network connection" We have no issue connecting to iTunes store or the network so not sure how to fix this. It is very frustrating. Have checked Windows Firewall and iTunes is an exception, can't think of anything else why it won't work.

I sounds as though you need to start again. The following article tells you how to completely remove iTunes and Quicktime. If you didn't actually install iTunes you wont find it in add/remove programs so you can't do that bit, but still delete the iTunes folder in Program Files as advised in the article.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Once you have got rid of them, try installing the latest version of iTunes. There is a link to it in the article.
Itunes wont move your music for you, get iTune sgoing then ask again.

I lost one of my eartips for my in-ear headphones. Apple won't help me and i don't know where else to go

I just lost one of my eartips for my in earheadphones. Apple doesnt sell them on their site and also no other store in my country sells them. I called to the supportnumber but they told me that i 'll cost me 25 euros. 25 euros for a set of three rubber eartips from which i only need one?! (size s). Also i need to pay with a credit card, which i haven't got. So basically there is no way for me to get the replacement tips. Is there anything else i can do? Any number i can cal to complain about it? Because i feel like i''m gettng screwed. And no i dont want ear tips from a different brand. Thanks.

I wandered streets of Sydney including Apple store to be told these are not available however, I have since successfully purchased from
http://www.dealsishop.com
who provide the silcone plugs in all 3 sizes promptly and quite affordably. They seem to stay on better than the original Apple [product that comes with the headsets. Delivery was quick and an easy way to shop, recommneded fully, now placing another order for friends and family!

HT1296 My Iphone 5, IOS 7.0.4 won't sync calendars to my Macbook Pro IOS 10.9.1. I can sync calendars from the MB to the phone but not from the phone to the Mac. There is no tab for the calendar in Itunes now so I don't know how else to do this.

I have a Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1 and an Iphone 5S on IOS 7.0.4 and I can't sync my calendar from the phone to the Macbook.
It works the other way, Macbook to Iphone.
There used to be a tab under Itunes that allowed you to select to sync things like calendar, notes etc. but this is no longer there, can anyone help?

This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.
