    Undeletable files?? Help!!

    If you really want to use Unix, go ahead, but TrashIt! is easier: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8214/trash-it%21 Or get TinkerTool System (the one that costs).

    Movie compression

    From YouTube Help: What video file formats can I upload? YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras, camcorders, and cell phones in the .WMV, .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG file formats. MOV files are already acceptable.

    How to connect to and download file over home network

    If you don't already have one, get an ethernet cable to connect the two Macs. It doesn't have to be a "crossover" cable since modern Macs autosense. If, on the other hand, you have both set up to access the internet via a router to, say, a cable modem, you're all set. Go into System...

    iTunes Plus

    DRM (Digital Rights Management) is copy protection. Songs of the "plus" persuasion aen't copy protected. And they're of higher quality than the run-of-the-mill M4Ps that iTunes serves up: 256 kbps AAC encoding vs 128.

    Splitting MP3s

    Amadeus (II or Pro) will do it rather more obviously than Audacity. You can try it for free from versiontracker.com.

    Thanks, Mikuru. The SWF & FLV Player works a treat.

    Capturing Shockwave Flash

    Yup, the SWF downloaded nicely. But it came down as a RealPlayer file that my version 10.1.0 refused to play. I assume I've done something terribly stupid and deserve to die. Any suggestions?

    HandBrake doesn't work 50% of the time

    Does the VIDEO_TS folder from the rip play in DVD player? If not, don't blame HandBrake for choking.

    233 iMac identification help needed

    If it's a Blueberry, it's a 266 or a 333. No 233's. It'll take 2 PC266 144-pin SO-DIMMs, max 256mb each. My rule of thumb is "If you don't know what you're doing, ask the expert." Call or e-mail a reputable vendor like OWC or Crucial and tell the person what you have and what you want. Let him...

    HELP!!! Web Archives and Original URL

    Web sites and web pages can be ephemeral. Don't expect all your ".webarchive" files to always work. I assure you both that the "original" URL is in the web archive. Double click the file and it will try to connect with that original URL. If it does connect, and if the web page has a hot...

    G4 OSX Microphone problems

    That isn't a "microphone" port. It's a "sound in" port and needs a line-level signal. Get a Griffin iMic with a switch-able pre-amp. In any event, there is no inherent ability to hear a sound coming into the Mac. Get a third party app like "linein" for that.

    SD Card won't mount

    Patience, Mighty. Those things are finicky. It'll take trying several (several dozen?) times before you get the hang of it.

    MP3 CD problem

    I'm afraid that's a problem with any non-commercial audio CD you burn. The AIFF format on an audio CD has no "metadata" (information about the CD and its tracks). If your CD players can use the MP3 format (not many can), and if your iTunes files are in MP3 format, you can tell iTunes to burn an...

    iPod Shuffle doesn't lik my wife's songs

    Everybody's a critic. Sigh. What format are your wife's songs stored as? HiLite one and do a splat-I (get info). The summary tab will tell you. For example, one of mine says: Kind: MPEG Audio File Size: 3.8mb If your wife's songs are in a different format, that could be the...

    Cannot add video to iPod

    Don't "think" a video is iPod compatible. Ensure it. Drop the video on the free iSquint: http://www.isquint.org If that doesn't work, you have larger problems.

    Why does iTunes lie to me?

    It isn't just iTunes. Whenever an app moves something to the trash (instead of a finder-move) the trash icon stays pristine. No dross filling it to show you have something to empty.
