Streaming wma file and my new imac
I just got a new imac and was on the net last night going into some sights and tried to watch streaming vidoe and it will not play. I have downloaded the Flip4Mac and still nothing. Can I set Real Player to automatically play file off the internet rather than them being saved on my desktop then playing them? May seem like silly questions but i'm so used to PC's I'm wondering if I made the right choice.
Thanks
Welcome to Discussions!
If your installation of Flip4Mac was completed, it now has its own panel in System Preferences. Open and verify that you have the plug-in enabled, and check the other settings to see that you have most of them checked as well.

I have "migrated" my Time Capsule files to my new iMac and most of the files to me "I don't have permission to view files" I am they admin....will I thought I was. What gives?
You should be able to change the permissions on the files.. this is yet another bungle by Mavericks I suspect.

Sometimes it is because you Migrated wrongly.

It is not up to Mavericks because sadly the guy who wrote all this great info died recently. -
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new Imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to change file to open in original program instead of preview?
Right-click on one of the files and choose 'get info'. in the info box. Change the 'open with' setting to your correct application. Check the 'always open with' option before OK-ing the change, then click the 'change all' button before closing the info window.

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?
Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
Then
Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
Both machines should now have the same library
Disconnect H the ethernet cable
Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
Do the same on the other machine.
Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases

I have a G4 with system 10.4.11 and a 6 pin firewire trying to transfer files to my new iMac system 10.8.3, 9 pin firewire. Apple sold me FireWire 9-6 with a Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter. This will not work, do i need a different cable?
Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter
Then it sounds like the FW800 to 400 adapter just gets in the way. You don't have FW800 case? on my MDD G4 I added and used FW800 controller and cases from OWC and Sonnet.

How do I get backed up Aperture files into my new iMac correctly?
Here's the deal. My 4 year old iMac HD failed. My the Time Machine backup software in the Time Capsule was somehow corrupted so I could't just restore or Migrate the files to my new iMac. I was able to retrieve the actual "Pictures" folder from my TC. Temporarily I have placed them in a folder on my new iMac's desk top. I reloaded Aperture 3 and am now wanting to be able to populate Aperture as it was before with my photos with photos that have been post processed showing all of those changes...etc. Is it as simple as moving all of these files to the new iMac's "Pictures" folder in my User? I don't want to mess this up!
Thanks for any help!
GregHello Greg,
that looks like you imported some of your masters as referenced. You best put those folders in exactly the similar position inside the Pictures folder as you originally had them on your old drive.
Then use Aperture to consolidate them into your new library.
First you need to reconnect them to the versions:
That is best done by creating a smart album that contains all images that need reconnecting: Define a smart album with the rule: File status is offline (or missing), depending on what you see.
Then select all images in that album and select "File -> Locate Referenced Files" from the menu.
You now should see a dialogue that shows the images that need reconnecting in the upper part of the window, and a file chooser in the lower part.
In the File chooser select the coorect master files corresponding to the missing files in the upper part of the window.
If you are lucky, the reconnect all button will become active and you can reconnect your masters.

Alas, you can't.
You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.
Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). (It's possible to copy Draw documents into a Word Processing document in order to open them in Pages, but you need AppleWorks to do this in the first place.)
Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.
This seven-page article examines migrating from AppleWorks in some detail:

How do I translate word perfect old files for my new iMac?
How do I translate Word Perfect old files for my new iMac? They are transferred from a 13-year-old Dell. My McLink did not work.
Thanks.The current version of the free LibreOffice continues to support Word Perfect documents. OpenOffice had to drop this support due to licensing issues. LO installs in two places: /Applications and your local Library/Application Support directory. Simple to install. Simple to remove. Good PDF documentation from their site. It is a capable MS Office replacement.
I just opened a wpd legal deposition in LO and it looked fine. -
The old MacBook says "the other mac is ready" and the new iMac says "successfully connected to other Mac. They are connected via Ethernet. Shouldn't there be some sort of indication of progress? It just looks like they're stuck.

I have OS X on both my iPad and my new iMac. I purchased Pages for my iPad and my husband's iPad at least a year ago. All of my stuff on the iPad is stored in the Cloud. Do I have to purchase it again on the iMac? How do I get it to run on the iMac?

You should also be able to access your docs (even without the Pages app on your iMac) by logging into iCloud.com and using the Pages for iCloud beta app via your browser.
(By the way your iPad uses iOS and not OS X) -
When I click "File" and then "New" it keeps opening a new file as a layer and not a background. RGB is selected as the mode.
With new files opening as a layer and not a background I'm not able to create multiple layers and it wont let me convert the layer to the background.
How did this happen. I used PS just yesterday and had no problems. Today my computer did mandatory updates and now this.Yes. You are using the Ellipse Tool's Pixel option. So it is laying down pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.
Choose the Shape option:
Also Layer menu > New Layer creates layers and the curled paper at the bottom of your Layers palette also creates a New Layer. I hope those work. -

How does one transfer Files from an old MacBook Pro to a new iMac?
10.5.3 is at least part of the problem. You need to apply the latest updates to that mac.
