Saving mpegs from webpages

My dad is able to save short mpg movies from websites on his PC, but on my mac, with Safari, all I can do is open up a small window and wait for the movie to load, and when it does, it's a lot smaller than on the PC. Is there anyway to save them as files and see them as big as on a PC?

With the files being played under QuickTime, you will need to upgrade to Quicktime Pro $29.99 to enable the editing and downloading features from Safari and from QuickTime.

  • Saving pdf from webpages

    I read a lot of PDF documents on several research web sites. On these particular websites, the PDFs load in the page only. I can right-click and select "Open in Preview" which is great, because then I can quickly skim the article and see if I want to save it.(faster in preview app, than trying to read it in safari).
    The catch is when I go to save the file to a folder on my local disk.
    I choose save as, and the little save window pops up and has the default save location set to private/tmp. I realize that when I click open in preview, it downloads it to the private/tmp dir, and opens it. Then when I save, it defaults to the location the file was at. However, the tmp directory will never ever be useful for saving 20-30 documents which I can quickly whip up to be saved.
    Having to re-name the document title(after saving it to tmp, it assigns numbers like "2412476251" to the name of the file), then choose from the list(at the very bottom) for recent locations is very annoying! it adds a lot of time and frustration to gathering research materials.
    I thought I remembered OSX(before I had to reinstall everything today) keeping the last location saved to (after saving to it). But I cannot figure out how to change any of the default locations. I really feel that apple should have included a feature to allow the user to change the default save/open location on the fly.
    Does anyone have insight on this? Or a solution? I just want something, such that I can click on the PDF (opened in safari) and have it save to a folder on my HD.
    Stuff which won't work:
    -Choosing Save/ Save As from safari. This will only let me save as a web archive of the surrounding page.
    -Choosing Print, saving as a PDF. This is almost as painful, regarding time and effort. Doing this task 30+ times a day, *****.
    -A shareware app which literally costs half the price of OSX Tiger. (Default Folder X or whatever)
    about my system: I just today, reinstalled my OS and did updates (after having a 10.4.8 install issue which hosed my OS.)I have lots of free space, and the only app I have installed is Mathematica5.
    2.0 ghz macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Fresh Install
    2.0 ghz mbp   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    2.0 ghz mbp   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If you option click the link to the PDF in Safari it will save the file to your default download location. If you've already opened something in Safari you can go to menu item Window, select Activity, and then option click the item that contains the file name, for instance:
    http://www.corsaire.com/white-papers/040622-securing-mac-os-x.pdf
    A double click will download the file "040622-securing-mac-os-x.pdf" to your default download folder. If you are doing this a lot you can create a Downloads folder, then in Safari's Preferences, General select your Downloads folder as the default location.
    But I too am wondering what is wrong with your setup of Safari, since when I open a PDF file in Safari and select Save as it gives the name of the file on the web site as the default name, and the last place I saved something to as the default location.

  • Saving Video from a Sony Handycam HDD - I'm stuck in iMovie ****!

    We foolishly bought a Sony Handycam HDD video camera last year, thinking we could save our movies to DVD using the computer.
    I can do it using the laptop we got my daughter for Christmas, but this isn't really feasible. My G4 has iMovie 3.0.3. and even though I recently upgraded to a 2Ghz processor, I still can't install the iMovie I bought with iLife '08 2 years ago.
    I need to be able to save files from my Sony handycam to my computer and burn DVDs. Or even if I could just burn them without saving, that would be fine.
    I have heard that I need StreamClip from Apple and I see that I need to buy Apple MPEG-2 converter first and then I see in the feedback category for that product, everyone who gave it bad marks was trying to do what I'm trying to do. Then I read somebody recommended Quicktime Pro...
    I'm completely confused..and frustrated!!!!
    Is there a version of iMovie that will work for me even though I just have a plain old 2Ghz processor?
    Would Quicktime Pro or some other software do it for me? I don't mind paying $30 for some software that I'm only going to use for saving movies from camera to DVD, but I'd rather upgrade iMovie if that was possible.
    thank you.
    (I'll come in off the ledge now...)

    Hey. This is a really good question because I too have run into video problems with mine. After a couple of years I couldn't stand it anymore so I sprung for a MacBook Pro for myself this past Christmas. When I say video problems I mean I can't watch a DVD, a video on the net, etc. It's a pain.
    But I still haven't given up on it. Currently it's just used for storage. Did that processor upgrade make any difference for you? I've been looking into that upgrade along with an upgrade to Leopard on the Quicksilver to see if it can handle the video.
    We bought a Panasonic video recorder and have a G5 (pardon me but I don't know the processor speed). Even that computer wouldn't recognize the video files stored on the recorder and refused to import them. I called Panasonic and they explained I needed iLife '09. (Currently on the G5 there is '08 and it is running Tiger.)
    What you might want to do is a couple of simple upgrades. First the OS to Leopard and then upgrade your iLife to '09. I can say that the camcorder works like it should with iMovie '09 just like the rep at Panasonic said it would.
    Hope this helps.

  • Saving pcitures from email directly onto iTouch?

Does anybody know how to do this?

  • Firefox is saving my open webpages after closing suddenly

    I have been using Firefox for a while, and recently noticed this new feature that is causing problems. Firefox is saving my open webpages after closing suddenly, and then when restarted tries to open the same webpages. Huge problem: If it's a site with a virus it goes right back to that site. Huge problem for me- viruses must love this feature. I just want my regular homepages to open if Firebox closes suddenly. Help.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
    Session restore works more reliable if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Saving Data from ALV.

    hi all.
    I have an issue regarding saving data from alv to data base table.
    The problem is like this. I have an internal table consist of 10 column from three diferent tables.one primary key is there.
    now i have displayed it in alv grid. there is a column of quantity. i made some changes in quantity of some rows. now i want to save it into the database table from which that quantity field fetched.
    i used first check_changed_data method. if the flag is set it means data is changed.
    wat shud i do to save that quantity column into data base.
    Thanks In advance.
    varu

    Hi,
    <b>To modify database or ztable from the ALV grid,you need to do the following:</b>
    ---You have to modify the field Catalog fields (fields that you want to make editable).Set the field <b>EDIT as 'X'</b>.For example if you want to make the field below editable:
    ls_fcat-fieldname = 'CARRID'.
    ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
    APPEND ls_fcat TO pt_fieldcat.
    ---Call the method below before you call the set_table_for_first_display.
    CALL METHOD ALV_GRID_INSTANCE-><b>set_ready_for_input</b>
    EXPORTING
    i_ready_for_input = 0. ( For Display ) and ('1' for Edit )
    After this put the set_table_for_first_display.
    <b>Now if the ALV data has changed,and you want to change the database or ztable,then in your pf status give a function code for SAVE button in the GUI.
    In the PAI of the screen,in user command module write the following:</b>
    WHEN 'SAVE'.
    <b>call method gr_alvgrid->check_changed_data</b>
    importing e_valid = l_valid.
    if l_valid = 'X'.
    <b>MODIFY spfli FROM TABLE itab_spfli.</b>
    endif.
    <b>(l_valid is a flag.</b>
    DATA:l_valid type c.
    If you want to check if the user has entered any value on the grid, use the Method : CALL METHOD gr_alvgrid->check_changed_data.
    This method returns a flag l_valid which can be checked to see if the data on the ALV grid has been changed or not.)

    Beejal

    I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone.  The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

  • HT5824 I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have number

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

    I created a site column at the root of my site and I have publishing turned on.  I selected the Hyperlink with formatting and constraints for publishing.
    I went to my subsite and added the column.  The request was to have "Open in new tab" for their hyperlinks.  I was able to get the column to be added and yesterday we added items without a problem. 
    The problem arose when, today, a user told me that he could not edit the hyperlink.  He has modify / delete permissions on this list.
    He would edit the item, in a custom list, and click on the address "click to add a new hyperlink" and then he would get the error below after succesfully putting in the Selected URL (http://www.xxxxxx.com), Open
    Link in New Window checkbox, the Display Text, and Tooltip:

    and I saw in another post, below with someone who had a similar problem and the IISreset fixed it, as did this problem.  I wonder if this is resolved in the latest updated CU of SharePoint, the April 2014 CU?
    Summary from this link below: Comment out, below, in AssetPickers.js

    Again, if I update my SharePoint 2010 farm to April 2014 CU is this going to resolve the issue I have?
    I don't mind changing the JS file, however I'd like to know / see if there is anything official regarding this instead of my having to change files.
    Thank you!

    We had the same issue after applying the SP2 & August CU. we open the case with MSFT and get the same resolution as you mentioned.
    I blog about this issue and having the office reference.
    Later MSFT release the Hotfix for this on December 10, 2013 which i am 100% positive should be part of future CUs.
    So if you apply the April CU then you will be fine.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog
