703.	Solve : [iTouch]Youtube fail while on dock[iTouch]?
Answer» My dock (my only viable source of charging my iPod) causes some weird glitches with YOUTUBE. When the dock is not turned on (but PLUGGED it) the iPod still goes to dock-mode and will not play out of the internal speakers. If it is turned on, the power light will flash for 5-10 seconds and if a YouTube video is open, it will CLOSE, if not, it will open the first song in my now playing list (a very unwanted result). After the video automatically closes, if I try to re-open it, the video will be in portrait-mode (as opposed to landscape) and will not actually show the video, only the audio plays. Every once and a while, I will be able to trick my iPod into thinking it is unplugged by turning on the dock and unplugging it and repeating a few times and that allows it to play internally and in landscape-mode. Is there anything I can do to fix this/these problem(s)? Bump? Anybody?Recycle this PROCESS again hopefully you will get satisfactory result. All the best!!!

In fact, many things of a mac are easier then windows. Since Apple "hand selects" much if it's hardware, oftentimes their machines crash less often then a cobbled together windows machine; that's not to say they are immune to crashes, of course.

If you're planning on using your computer for graphic desigining, a mac is a great choice. Considering your current situation, here's what I would say the benefits of the mac are: 1- iLife suite included with every mac (iMovie, GarageBand, iTunes, iWeb, iCal) 2- Great, great apps for graphic designers on a mac (note, though, that you can still buy adobe's suites on a pc) 3- Virtually no virus issues. There are many reasons for this, but without getting into a big discussion, you pretty much don't have to worry about viruses/spyware/adware/malware on macs (at the current time). 4- Macs are INCREDIBLY easy to use. Because apple controls the software and hardware that goes into a mac, they try to make everything work together intuitively. I switched from a Windows machine a few years ago and found it incredibly easy to use. For the money that you've got, you could go with a highend macbook or a refurbished macbook pro. Depending on how much graphic design/video editing/gaming you plan on doing, it could go either way. Honestly though, if you can handle having a desktop instead of a laptop, I'd go with a nice iMac. They are a lot cheaper and pack a BIGGER punch in terms of processing power.Quote from: BC_Programmer on July 29, 2009, 09:18:52 AM The only real disadvantage I can think of, Is cost; Mac/Apple machines are often more expensive then an equivalent PC.

I'm curious as to what software you're referring to. For starters, a mac comes with a much better software package than a windows machine out of the box. You get iLife which has iMovie and Garageband, two apps that would cost you at least $100 to purchase for a windows machine (windows movie maker does not count as an equivalent). Furthermore, microsoft office is the same price on both windows and mac. Same with Adobe's Creative Suite (and any parts of it). Really the only thing I can think of that costs more is occasionally games. The part that sucks about big name games on the mac is that they usually come out much later than on PC and often cost an extra $10 to help pay for the porting costs.Quote from: socrates on July 31, 2009, 07:25:49 AM Really the only thing I can think of that costs more is occasionally games.

I am currently using mp4 or mov files, but I also USED a program called iSkysoft video converter and tried to convert the quicktime movie to a different format, but I can't seem to find a format that will allow the movie to view in both IE and Safari/Foxfire. When viewed in IE, there is a blank SPACE where the movie should be. I can view the HTML code in Dreamweaver (I have a limited knowledge of web design and HTML), so I can change the code by hand in Dreamweaver.

Personally I'd rather blind myself with needles than BUY or use any Apple computer, but that's just me. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/may/29/ipad-review-charlie-brooker I guess this is hardly the right place to state this Just heard a news item on this very subject this morning. The consensus seems to be developing that it really does NOT meet the primary objectives of most users. Size is a problem. External hardware options not available (no ports).There seems to be a strong sense developing that there are better devices about to become available to compete with it. So i would suggest unless it is imperative that you own the latest techno gadjet--wait a while.truenorthIt is not WORTH it right now. I would believe all the hype. However it does seem to be a GOOD product I just recommend wait till the product develops a bit.Ok, buying an ipad is not for everyone...because of the money and for what it is used for...if you just WANT a mac then buy a macbook or something...if you want something like the iPad, just remember it is only 16-64 gigs of space which is not even the size of a netbook hdd...however it is AMAZING for internet browsing and for watching youtube videosAlso netflix watch instantly, and games!

710.	Solve : Setting up Macintosh Time Machine?
Answer» Being a newbie to Mac, and trying to set up Time Machine to back up files, etc, I am floundering. When I click on the time machine icon, I get a window that says "a STORAGE location for Time Machine backups isn't set up. So I click on the option to choose a storage location. Then I get a window that SHOWS an "off/on" switch and "choose backup DISK." The switch is in the off position. There are 2 choices, switch it to the "on" position or click on "choose backup disk." With both selections I am taken to ANOTHER window that is blank except for a section to click on at the bottom that says "set up time capsule." When I click on that another window pops up that says "searching for airport wireless devices." Then it is unable to find wireless devices because I have none. A vicious circle. Why did you put this in the chat section?Where should it have gone?QUOTE from: jekyll on April 30, 2010, 03:05:29 PM Where should it have gone? In Apple, where it is now.Genius.

711.	Solve : Can't put files on my MacBook into an external hard drive?
Answer» I have a OneTouch4 Mini hard drive that I use to store my music files. I want to put a music folder into that hard drive from my MacBook, but it won't let me, as it says that "OneTouch4 Mini can't be modified". Any help would be appreciated.Is this a brand new hard drive? My guess is that it's FORMATTED as NTFS (a windows-only partition FORMAT that mac can't write to). If you don't have ANYTHING in the hard drive, open up disk utility (Macintosh HD --&GT; Applications --> Utilities --> Disk Utility) and then ERASE the hard drive and format as one of the two options: If you plan on using on windows and mac, format as MS-DOS (FAT). If you plan on using on mac only, format as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)confirming previouse post...do those steps and you should be up n running in no time

713.	Solve : iTunes shared library but it's more of a Mac OS problem really?
Answer» HI there! I wanted to share my iTunes library with my SISTER so I moved the iTunes -> music folder to the 'Shared' folder, I redefined acces paths and all but now... all the 334 subfolders of my library are 'read only'. so I tried to chmod -R a+w //path// but it didn't work (OPERATION not permitted) and I don't have an idea of why?? other ideas?Ok well i dont BELIEVE it is a Mac OS problem. if you re-directed the folder to the shared folder you may have skipped a STEP before doing so. when you purchase a new song from iTunes does it automatically go to the shared?
