I have a G5 with OSX 10.3.7 and I'm having the worst time with it. It wasn't so bad before but for some reason now, the WMV3 Codec is appearing in almost every video I want to watch on my Macintosh. Usually it gave itself away when files have the "WMV" type attached, but lately the codec is masking itself into even my trusted AVI files.
I've tried every possible solution, I've tried Windows Media Player, VLC Player, MPLAYER, etc. I've even tried converting the WMV file type to something else but the programs on Macintosh can't do it. I tried calling Apple Support but they wanted $50.00 just for me to talk to somebody. Is there any way to play this type of file? What, am I going to have to run out and conform to a horrible PC because of it? It's bad enough Macro Media Flash Player is trash on the Macintosh, but if I can't even view movies....what's the point anymore of having Macintosh? God knows I love the thing but really, this is just annoying :(:mad:
Well, now you know the downside to proprietary formats and why people, especially around here, bash M$. You can't play it on the Mac, because M$ doesn't want you to play it on the Mac (at least not well); they want you to run Windows. Reference: The EU case against M$.
If you can't play it with QT or VLC, don't bother with it.

No but I got Apple TV and AirPlay is awesome-sauce.
Same here, I also have a WP7 Samsung Focus and wish there was a App to get it to work with Apple TV. My whole home surround/HDTV System is connected to my Apple TV so I can stream all my music and video from my iPad to my system.. It's awesome!!!

Common = conforming to the usual standard. 360 crashing problems aren't common, Wii nunchuck problems aren't common. Hell - PSP dead pixels aren't common. Windows viruses are common :D
Zane - try Wii Sports boxing. Chances are as soon as the nunchuck is disconnected it will pause the game, and due to the nature of the game you'll be able to see if it's a faulty port or just COD3?

Not to hi-jack the thread, but I do have a similar question...
My wife got me a refurbed MBP for a little over $850... I can get a new MBP for 1150. Is the new MBP worth the $300 (and the upset wife)? Or do I enjoy the current present?
You haven't given us specs, so how are we meant to judge which is 'better'?
Unless you just want new over refurb, which is entirely up to you, I personally wouldn't consider it.

I am considering upgrading the HDD in my 2010 MacBook Pro. Would I be able to take that hard drive and drop it into my iBook G4 as an upgrade?

Thank you for that. So the steps would be as follows I think:
1 - Backup my 3G to iTunes.
2 - Connect the iPhone 4 and initialize it.
3 - Do a restore to the iPhone 4 from iTunes.
Correct?

It won't let me access that since the 60-day trial is over.
Also, one question about my iPod-
it's been doing well on waking me up with music every morning but it has not for the past three mornings. I keep checking- the alarm is set, the volume is up on the machine and speakers and music plays normally without the alarm. It doesn't even work on beep mode. Any ideas?

Why advertise what kind of electronics can be found in your residence?
Reminds me of those minivans with a complete list of pets and family members that morons put on the back window in the form of stick figures. Sometimes with family names underneath.
Or the ricers who buy stickers to place on their Civics with complete parts list of theirs mods on the side of their cars :rolleyes:

I just replaced the screen on my 15in early 2008 macbook pro. I booted it up and everything seemed to be working properly. I started messing with changing the brightness and I noticed when I turned the brightness down to one bar, the screen got really bright after a couple of seconds. Turning it down to zero bars didn't change anything.
Can someone help me????
Thank you!

It does not surprise me that Apple is having issues with 10.6.4. Beta testers reports are consistently ignored with a "we know best" attitude from Apple coders. There are dozens of reports of Airport problems on 10.6.4, which is an issue at such a basic level, you feel would have been picked up quickly and dealt with. Ditto increasing issues with Flash and CS5 on 10.6.4 but of course Jobs would say this is Adobe's fault. On the face of it, it is looking like there is a consistent lack of effort to resolve any issue relating to Adobe products on Apple's part. It is very petty and very much not in the interests of end users.
However we Mac users must realise we are now the poor relations and anything not to do with iPads or iPhones (and I admit to having both), is of small import nowadays.

I believe this is all true... Hence my boycott of iOS and all iDevices.
Yes, I do have 2nd Gen iPod Touch but will not buy any other iDevice out of principal... (I didn't even upgrade to free iOS4!)
Apple are clearly understanding only one type of language - language of your wallet - so until majority starts to "speak it" not much will change...

Have you tried any of these steps?
Mac doesn't boot (http://guides.macrumors.com/Mac_doesn?_boot)
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417)
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1367)
Btw, the Mac mini, obviously being an older G4 model, being plugged into a router does not have anything to do with its bootability.

Awesome Note is great.
Awesome Note is not bad: beautiful, powerful and with alarm notifications.
But I recommend Things. Because it is more intuitive and more easy-to-use!

The "In Time-Out" title was never intended to be a warning to other users.
It works as a great warning though. At least I've noticed where the line goes (of course every mod may have a different policy on this but generally) when you get timed-out by following some heated arguments.
I don't see the gossips as an issue. If someone asks, you can provide him the link to Forum Rules and tell that it's very likely that the guy who got timed-out broke the rules.

I'll be there, if I'm not working that day! Do you have to pre-order on the 10th to have any hope of getting one on launch day in store, or is there a chance of getting one on the day?
You have a chance if you queue up early enough, Although I doubt that the demand will be anything like the US - Either way the Apple Store is Newcastle covers a huge area unlike the London ones so best to Pre-order, I don't think you need to pay to reserve one anyway so you can walk right in and pay for it and it's there just for you.
