What Download Video Program for Mac is as Good as Orbit is for Windows??

12/29/2008. Friends, I have searched and searched and searched for a video download program for Mac that will download videos from almost any website besides just YouTube and such, but to no avail. The latest OrbitDownloader 2.8.1 for Windows is excellent and will do this for Windows on a PC. What similar download video program for Mac will perform as excellently or almost as good?? I've tried Firefox's Video Downloader Helper but can not get it to work. I've tried Mori but don't know how to get it to work. I've tried Perian but again don't know how to get it to work, I just get a window that says "Uninstall." I will really appreciate finding such a program for Mac, for my iBook G4 which has Leopard OS X 10.5.4 and WiFi. Many thanks. Chuck Y., Chicago

1/2/2009. Thank you all for your help. I love this wonderful feature I find about Apple Discussion Forums, so many friends. I did not know about Perian's instructions until you informed me. [www.perian.org/#watch] I'm glad that I gave the example of "POV Inheritance," because it is somewhat complex. First a person must locate the POV Inheritance website. For Perian, to go into Windows Activity at that point shows only that line. No one told me that I must click the wee arrow to the left of that line. Then a long drop list appears. But none of those help. So one must return to and on the website click "Watch the streaming video online" or ". . . now." That brings up another sub-website on which a person must click "Watch the Full Film." Then one can choose between five "chapters," and go into Windows Activity again. Then appears "net + public affairs player: video." Then one clicks the small arrow on the left of "net+ public affairs video" and sees 17 selections. All except one are small kbs. One has a large megabyte file. Select and Command + C that, and then go into Windows Downloads and Command + V [paste]. Then the download begins. And the person must do that for each of the five chapters. The other option is not to click any of the "chapters" but instead click "Watch the Full Film," and then click Windows Activity and then the small arrow left of "net + public affairs : video" and on the drop down list appear, among many, the five separate chapter files [the ones with large megabyte files], and continue as per a few lines above. The Perian procedure is simple. Getting to the line to be downloaded, in this case, is more complex, and so a good example from which to learn.
RealPlayer 11.0.0 [or 11.0.1] and its RealPlayer Downloader work very well too and may be simpler.
Thank you all and Happy New Year cruising with your Apple Macs. C. Yopst, Chicago

DAQmxBase for Mac OS X: where's the support for all DIO ports?

As of version 1.5.0f2 of the NI-DAQmxBase release for Mac OS X, only port0 is supported for digitial IO. I would like to have the full functionality of my E-series board; does anyone know if a new release is in beta now or will be released soon that, you know, supports more than 1/4 of the board's DIO functionality? Are there workarounds one can employ with the current version? Thanks in advance.

There are no current plans to add support for the extended digital on the NI 6025E. The architecture is unique to that board and the newer M Series boards now have an extended number of digital lines. Another option is to use an E series board and the PCI-DIO-96 which is also supported in NI-DAQmx Base.
With that said, we continually add features based on customer requests. Do you have a lot of these systems? Do other people out there want the extended digital on the 6025E supported?

Calendar events issue Outlook for Mac: Failure to update or send notification for meetigns

We are seeing an issues with Outlook for Mac 2011 and calendar events. These events are in the past and Outlook will randomly post errors about the event stating that it has failed to make changes, please contact the original creator.
Additionally, some users are reporting that Outlook will not successfully send meeting cancellation notices to Windows users. All of the server and directory settings are setup correctly. Is there an issue with Outlook for Mac successfully sending
back to the Exchange server here? We're running Exchange server 2007 SP1 and in the midst of upgrading to 2013. Hopefully this and a host of other issues are resolved with 2013.
Thanks.

Outlook for Mac 2011 doesn't bounce dock icon for new message

Under "Outlook Preferences -> Notifications & Sounds" I have the option selected "Bounce Outlook icon in Dock" for new messages. But the icon doesn't bounce when I get a new email. I'd really like for that to work - is this a known
issue or a local config issue?

Hi,
Please first note that the option only applies when Outlook is not the active application. In addition, it appears that the icon bounces when you first select the Outlook application to open it. If you want the icon to bounce when new mail arrives
you will need to create a rule for that.
Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, if above doesn't applies, I'd recommend you post a new question in the forum for Mac for further assistance:

How do I transfer data/videos from a Mac-OS formatted portable hard drive to a Windows-formatted portable hard drive?

I was trying to drag-and-drop the contents (most of them are downloaded torrent movies) of my Mac-OS formatted portable hard drive to my Windows-formatted portable hard drive. It didn't work. How do I go about this?

Hi FornPLAY,
Your Mac will not be able to write to an NTSF formatted drive, as Mac OS X only supports reading from NTSF natively. You have a few options to be able to use that Windows formatted drive. You could try reformatting the drive using Disk Utilty to a format like MS-DOS (FAT). That would allow for both Mac and Windows cross-compatibility.

Can't find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x software for Intel Mac Book

I have an Intel Mac Book and recently picked up a graphite AirPort on eBay without software. I installed the Installer updaters and Mac OSX 1.4.9 Combo update. I can not install AirPort software 2.0 - the error says I can not install on this machine. I went on the Apple site to find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x and can not locate the download. Any ideas?

Hi Duane!
Thank you for welcoming me and yur information. I now see that I have the software, but I'm still having issues. I can't get the airport to see the internet. It knows there is an internet connection in the Network Assistant, but fails on the diagnostic. Further, after a restart, the Admin Utility does not list the IP address I the window.
I wondered if this was because of the software version update becausse it said it fixes an issue with Comcast (my ISP).
I wanted to use the Admin Utility to configure the Airport from scratch, but how can I if the base station is not in the list?

If I purchased Creative Suite 5 for mac osx is it possible to change to windows version?

I purchased the Creative Suite Master Collection back in 2010 and have been running it on my macbook pro. However I've had to get a desktop to run more powerful media software.
Is there any way that I can move my purchased software to use with Windows? I don't have thousands of dollars to re buy these products just to work on a different computer. I have the installation disks for mac, what can I do? Am I basically screwed?

You need to upgrade to CS6 and make the platform switch or sign up for Creative Cloud.

ITunes store for Mac does not find albums, iTunes store for iPhone is OK

When looking for an artist on iTunes store for Mac, the search returns no result.
When looking for the same artist (Paddy Milner in the Music store), I can find this artist in iTunes store for iPhone.
I tried another artist (Alice Russell), same thing.
Is there something happening with iTunes store for Mac?

After upgrading to iTunes 12 on WinXP it did not connect to Gracenote.
I found this solution.
Solution:
Exit iTunes
Press the WinLogoKey+R
Type in %appdata% and press return
Double click on Apple Computer
Double click on iTunes
Take a back up of the file iTunesPrefs.xml as a precaution (copy to some safe area)
Delete the file iTunesPrefs.xml
Start iTunes again
Good Luck!

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.2 Update fix for fusion drives

Improves activation in Office for Mac 2011
This update fixes an issue in which product activation is always required after you restart a computer that uses an Apple Fusion Drive. After you install this update, product activation may be requested one more time.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2970766

I don't normally advocate users re-install Office to fix an issue but in your case I think it's worth a try. The Mavericks update seems to have fixed the issue for most users. I would suggest the complete removal rather than the simple removal of dragging the Office folder in Applications to the trash.

It would appear that there is no longer any support for Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac. I keep getting a notice for updates but when I elect to do so, I get the message that I need to reinstall the program from the original program disks- which I no longer have.

I’m debating whether to can the app, or just ignore, or turn off the updater. Suggestions?

If you are at version 9.5.5 that was the end of the line for Acrobat 9.x. You are correct that Acrobat 9 is no longer supported. Adobe is only supporting Acrobat X and Acrobat XI at this time.
If you need to reinstall Acrobat 9 though you can still download the installer bits here: Download Adobe CS5 Free Trials – All Direct Links without Akamai | ProDesignTools
Make sure to follow the directions carefully and sign into the Adobe Trials page first with your Adobe ID.

Downloading large programs on Mac App Store kills my internet connection.

Most downloads work fine, but larger ones won't even start downloading. I have to manually reset my DSL modem to get my internet connection back. Seems to only happen with files that are > 1GB in size (Lion, Knights of the Old Republic). If I connect to an external VPN the download works fine, but trying to directly download kills the modem.
Don't know why it only does this with larger files. Is it making multiple connections that might be overwhelming my modem? Anything I can do to troubleshoot or fix this - no error messages come up (just a dead connection), and I can see no logs to try to track down the issue.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I have had the same exact problem with the same exact app (Knights of the Old Republic) I have been having issues with every download from the App store. Sometimes the downloads will freeze other times (like now) it will kill my internet all together. I dont get why I can download anything fine through chrome or steam but the App store just will not work at my house. The only reason I am using it is because I have a gift card but honestly the service is so inconsinstant that I would rather not use it at all. If your still having issues (even though its been a few months) I would suggest trying a different Internet connection. When I went to an apple store to see if they could help I just used their internet and the download worked fine.

I can't download track names in iTunes for Mac and get a "User not registered for online use" error

I have a Macbook Pro 13, OS X 10.9.5, and iTunes 12. When I rip a CD it says it can’t find the track names online. When I tell it manually to fetch them it says "User not registered for online use."
On my other Macbook it works fine...

You need to delete two preferences files in your user library. The full instructions can be compiled from various posts in this topic: user not registered for online use I use an older Mac with easy access to the user library before Apple did a mother-knows-best move and hid it in recent OS versions.

Mac's don't need anything, certainly don't need performance robbing, always on, third party anti-virus that has always caused problems in the past as Apple changes things and combats malware themselves, why Mac's hardly get any malware, and if they do, not for long.
For those who deal with Windows files and want to clean the filth off, there is the free ClamXav

For those who get a rare corrupt cache file, there is the free OnyX, which has been around for ages.

It "can" help, but it really can't and $40 a year is really wasted.
For those who want to track down a rarely stolen Mac there is free Prey

This is the facts about recovereing a stolen Mac.
If you don't get the computer within the first week or so, by some dumb local kid who snatched it and wants to use it, keeps all your data on it, your options after that are pretty slim concerning recovery options.
The problem with tracking software is there isn't a whole lot of "open" networks for the computer to connect automatically to the Internet anymore. Most networks are now password protected, so in order to get on a network means one has to enter the password into OS X, which means they got to get into it first.
The way most Mac's are they are password protected, the thief when confronted with a password screen, is likely going to wipe the entire computer to remove all traces of the former owner, including MacKeeper and Prey, for sale on eBay, classifieds, overseas etc. or to use it themselves. Any pro thief or fence with brains is going to let a hot device "cool" off for some time before messing with it, then it's going to get wiped of all data and sold in a way as not to be traceable back to the seller.
Even if the wiped computer id gets picked up by Apple's servers and Apple cooperates (likely not) and provides a consistent IP where the computer is located, the costs involved recovering the machine is going to be in most cases, substantially more than the machine is worth, in another State or country halfway around the world. Then it's likely going to be some innocent who bought it used off eBay or classified and can't locate the purchaser.
Unless you had your Mac just stolen and Prey picked it up in a few days and you ran down to the police station with tons of evidence showing you know exactly where it's at, the police will likely do nothing or hope it shows up in a raid they made, as they are looking for someone to arrest and throw in jail so they can meet their quota's (jail is a business) so they want to make sure if they are going out with you, they can make a arrest. God forbid if your wrong or you just missed the thief at the coffee shop, you likely won't get another shot.
If your really concerned about recuperating your losses on a stolen Mac, you should buy insurance. Some forms of renters and property insurance covers loss from a burglery, provided the Mac was stolen in such a manner.
So what is that $40 a year for MacKeeper really going for? Nothing.
