ULaw compression for the Mac? Anyone heard of this?

I have a client that requires his recording for phone system be in 8k 8-bit uLaw format. Totally a PC thing, I know. I am trying to see if there is a filter or way of creating his recordings in ulaw on the Mac.
Can anyone provide some help?
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,
Have you checked out Sound Converter? It's a nice, lightweight conversion app and should do exactly waht you need.

  • I'm having problems with Outlook for the Mac, anyone else?, I'm having problems with Outlook for the Mac, anyone else?

    I have recently purchased a Mac.  I'm very dissapointed at the way Outlook 2011(the newest version, what?!?)interfaces with the Mac.  I used the contacts feature all the time when I had a microsoft system.  Now, I can't do that with Outlook for the Mac.  Does anyone have any alternative Apps that they've used for Business contacts?  Thanks much.

    thank you both for your responses.  I'm having trouble mostly with a way to handle my business contacts. I'm self employed and when I had Outlook for Microst(before I switched to Apple)I was so pleased with this softward. Esp the way it would keep track of any correspondense between me and my customer.  I could also track billing thru Outlook contacts. 
    Now, I get my mail thru outllook and use ical and @contacts.  I see that I can have a separate group of contacts thru @contacts, but, it's not the same or nearly as good as Outlook contacts for Microsoft.
    So, right now I'm really disapointed with my Mac purchase and hoping to find an app that will help.  I will investigate Thunderbird.
    thanks again.

  • I have an IMac and would like to scan and edit scans can anyone suggest a scanner for the Mac

    Help.  I have an IMac and I want to scan and be able to edit my scans and I have received so many different opinions on how to do this.  Buy a separate scanner or buy an all in one that scans but you have to get software to edit. It is really confusing so before I purchase a scanner I need to know if anyone else is doing this and what machine should I buy. Thanks for the help.

    Hi and thanks for replying. I have a management company and I would like to scan a document and then be able to go in and make changes if necessary.  Some people told me to purchase a Fujitsu 1500 scanner for the Mac which costs about 500.00 but didn't think I needed something that sophisticated and then another opinion was to get an all in one but I need software to edit and no one seems to know what software to purchase. Thanks again for your input.
    Get the Fujitsu (Get the M1500, the S1500 is for Windows), it comes with ABBy Fine Reader OCR software that is probably less good than Vuescan but for printed text works just fine, handwriting is a different matter. It is about $500 (look around, under $400 is sometimes possible) don't buy the S version, none of the software will work on a Mac. I've used this scanner fairly often, it's better than the price would suggest.

    Does anyone know if Photoshop Elements 9 for the Mac is compatible with Mavericks?

    Yes, but it is absolutely critical to delete all existing preferences after upgrading to 10.9.
    I'm running PSE 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 in 10.9. PSE 11 has a slight problem (with a couple of filters) but otherwise it all works.

  • Predictive typing program for the Mac?

    Has anyone heard of a predictive typing program for the Mac?
    I am looking for a computer program for typing that "guesses" what word you want based on the first few letters. I have trouble typing because of physical disabilities. Voice recognition is a no go (I also have trouble with my voice).
    I know cell phones have this for texting, but I've never seen it for a regular computer. An application I could type in right on my Mac, then cut and paste to other applications like Word, email, etc. Apparently there is a program called "Penfriend" for the PC that does exactly this, but I'm having trouble finding anything Mac-compatible.
    Has anyone heard of a company that provides this kind of software? Any ideas on which discussion board might know?
    I have a 2006 Macbook Pro.
    Grateful for any help!

    Sorry for the delay, I was waiting for a "good arm" day to start typing!
    Were you using the mouse to select words? You can set
    hotkeys so you can do it with the keyboard if that
    would be easier - you can use a sequence like
    option-1,option-2, etc., or whatever else you can
    type easily.
    I tried both selecting words with the mouse, and with the coded numbers on the keyboard... I think this may be a problem for me with any predictive typing program, the whole needing-to-pick-up-your-hand thing. KeyStrokes seems about as good as you're going to get (honestly, all those languages, like magic). Maybe with a different keyboard, if I can place the numbers closer to the letters. I'll keep trying.
    There's no users group that I know about. I keep
    meaning to start a Yahoo list for OS X users who use
    assistive tech, but I have so many things that I want
    to do *wry grin* Maybe one day...
    That's a great idea -- I know there must be something out there, but I've mostly found disease-specific boards (ALS, etc.).

  • Looking for software that allows you to make "who wants to be a millionaire".  Must be able to put in your own questions and HAS to be for the Mac.  Help!

    I am a teacher who would love to create the game "who wants to be a millionaire" with my own questions.  I would use this for test reviews.  I can't not find something for the mac.  It is out there for the PC, but my class room is mac based.  I can't use anything that will allow me to run the mac in windows, either.  Anyone know of a software that will allow me to input my own questions?  Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

  • How can I get qucken data from windows copied over to quicken for the Mac?

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro. I have been using windows my whole life. I installed Quicken 2006 for the MAC. I backed up my windows quicken on a disk and it just doesn't open it. Is there a trick? or am I screwed?

    Unfortunately, there is no simple way to convert a Quicken/WIndows data file to Quicken/Mac. This is a major complaint of a lot of switchers.
    I can't find the link (I'll keep looking) but I know that Intuit offers a conversion service. You send them your data file, and for an absurd amount of money they'll convert the file for you.
    You're probably better off starting your Quicken/Mac file from scratch.
    That's what I did. It took some time to do, but now I'm happy with it and I didn't have to pay anyone to convert the file.

  • What is Apple's position on Anti-virus software for the mac?

    I have started replacing my customers PCs with iMac's and Mac-Mini, and I have always operated on the assumption that anti-virus software is not necessary, but I fear that my opinion might need revisiting.  So I would pose the question again, does the community and/or Apple have an opinion on the need for Anti-Virus, Malware and all the other nasty inflictions.  If you, as a group or individually do recommend, what product would you recommend?  Thank You --- Bill Shaw - Kansas City, Mo.

    This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an attacker who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there is another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications that are downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Applications certified in this way haven't actually been tested by Apple (unless they come from the Mac App Store), but you can be sure that they haven't been modified by anyone other than the developer, and his identity is known, so he could be held responsible if he knowingly released malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe. Note, however, that there are some caveats concerning Gatekeeper:
    It doesn't apply to software that comes packaged as an installer. Treat all third-party installers with caution.
    It can be disabled or overridden by the user.
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
    It only applies to applications downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article. Notwithstanding the above, the most effective defense against malware attacks is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. [Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.]
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is always a potential weak spot in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install it unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the filesystem. Malware gets into the system by being downloaded, not by materializing from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability and poor performance.
    By modifying the system at a low level, the software itself may create vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks.

  • Software - Canvas no longer available for the Mac

    I am looking for someone's experience - I use Canvas - a remarkable little program for drawing, word processing and almost everything including photo manipulation - ACD Systems have stopped developing and updating the program for Mac, which is a great shame (and very short sighted on ACD's part in my view) - does anyone who knows the program know of a replacement which IS being updated for the Mac? I'd really like to find a developer who is in the same space as Canvas

    Hi,
    I too am a long-time user of Canvas (3.5) and have been looking for alternatives. The problem I am finding is that Canvas has so many different tools, there is no one application that has all of the versatility of Canvas.
    I feel I need to change apps soon because I am wary that the latest OS X version of Canvas won't work much longer in OS X (as updates continue), and I need to convert my Canvas docs to something another app can read (maybe PDF?).
    I recently found an article that looks at several OS X native drawing applications, some of which I was not aware of. Perhaps one of these applications might suit as a replacement. I'm checking some of these out to see if they will suit as substitutes for the purposes I employ Canvas (mostly drawing diagrams, maps and figures).

  • Purchasing help for the mac

    hi all.
    new to mac and relatively new to adobe. hoping for some guidance.
    i run a small design build firm and recently ported to the mac os while still running a couple of boot camp installs of windows and parallels with windows 7 on the laptop. I am currently using Aperture to get my images organized and have been reasonably happy with it.
    i am in need of a "poster - workflow" using something like indesign but i am sure i could also use photoshop (which I am familiar with) and illustrator (for various vector manipulations i imagine). i'll also be doing some modest print material, keynote presentations and i have a wordpress website/blog and will be updating a very old blog at some point in the future. i would also /love/ to have a way to manipulate 3D files into my print work in creative ways.
    can anyone give me the lowdown as to whether I should be buying the InDesign CS5 Suite that includes Photoshop, ID and AI (for the mac) and whether I need to look at Acrobat 3D (for Wind 7 because there is no Mac option for this)?
    I mention some tangential issues in case anyone can offer tangential advice and apologies if this is not exactly the right forum as I am just getting started on figuring out where to enter the discussion over here.
    TIA for any help.
    Jon

    thanks very much John.
    sorry, i have been trying to work my way through the mud over here.
    so the "poster workflow" would be something along the lines of a 24 x 36 inch set of poster boards for a competition and I'd ideally like to be able to set the images, update them and then have the poster update. I had a really pleasant experience with the ID demo a number of months ago so I'm totally sold on ID.
    i also do a lot of 3D modeling and expect to include "vector-based" images in some of these presentations. since i am familiar with photoshop i am also sold on photoshop. i've been on the mac for a year and a half and editing images has been a mess quite frankly without it. so i'm hoping to solve a number of problems.
    do you by any chance have any experience with the mac?
    i mean, i guess "CS5.5" is the suite of products mentioned above is that right? do i have any deals that i can work if i purchase this (pricewise)? I don't think I can hold off until 2Q 2012 which I assume means somewhere around March?
    Anyway, the other issue is that I am organizing images in Aperture and I can't quite figure out if I get a more economical workflow by moving to something like Lightroom. It would be great to not have to always export images out of aperture to get them into the AI, ID, Photoshop workflow. But I am not sure how Lightroom works with these three, either.
    Lastly, my look at Acrobat 3D /seemed/ like it was pretty robust. It appears that I can insert a 3D model into a pdf document and let others rotate it around in real time. It also appeared that it would let me do an "exploded axonometric" in a rather easy manner. the pain for me here is if it is only available on the windows platform.
    anyway, i realize some of this is rather specialized and that some of it is rather obtuse as I try and hack my way forward.
    any advice you can offer I'd be grateful for...
    regards.

  • Best Camcorder for the Mac

    I just want to know what everyone's opinions are on the best Camcorders that are out there for the Mac. Here are some of the attributes that I would rank from most important to the least.
    - Compatibility with OSX
    - Most Bang for your Buck (image quality)
    - Ease of use with video editing programs. (Starting with iMovie, will probably migrate to final cut express)
    Anyone who has had experience with camcorders please leave a reply as I am looking to purchase one.
    Thanks

    Hi, I'm on the lookout too. Contrary to what Zak Ray said, I already have a Sony MicroMV (tape based) camera and it doesnt work with the Mac at all (neither does my Cybershot DSC-T1 camera). Hmm, no more Sony products for me.
    I've been looking at the Panasonic HDC-SD1 as recommended in Steve Jobs keynote and it looks like a fine camcorder. I was wondering if anyone has been able to play with one of these yet as I really don't want any compatibility issues again. I just want to connect it to the mac, drag the video over and begin editing. I'll probably just use iMovie'08 really although I've not had a play with it yet.
    Equally happy to hear recommendations on this or other camcorders before I take the plunge...
    Thanks

  • Flash Decompilers for the Mac

    Hi all
    I'm looking for a decent Flash Decompiler for the Mac. I have
    a demo of the Gordon Flash Decompiler, but the demo doesn't let me
    save anything as an fla, which I think is all I want to do with it.
    Plus I've read more bad than good reviews online, so that makes me
    a bit apprehensive. Anyone here have any problems with this
    program?
    Are there others out there that maybe I should look at?
    Thanks

    I had a lot of trouble with SimCity4 on my iMac. It became such a headache that I returned it to compUSA. It ran very choppy and crashed repeatedly when the city began to develop. My system FAR exceeds the system requirements for the game, and after some online research I discovered that I am not the only person to have this trouble with SimCity running on 10.4. I have also read problems concerning the SIMS2. Some of what I have read indicates that 10.3 runs the games fine, but 10.4 causes them to crash. I don't know if this is the case, but I do know that I am now very weary before dropping $50 on a game that may not perform on my computer as it claims to on the box. Some people trying to run games are talking about waiting for Mac OS updates that will allow them to run smoother.
