Hello, I was looking for a USB flash drive today, well I've been keeping my eyes out for one and was planning on getting a 8GB size but then today saw a 16GB one that I bought by RetailPlus+ http://www.retailplus.com/retailplusproducts.htm. It was $60.00 Canadian but I haven't opened it yet...

Hello, In the past I've used Downsize to size my photos and to watermark them. So normally in Downsize I pick 260x180 pixel size and the quality at 78% and my size is about 24-28 kb big which is great. Now I go into Element 6 and select process multiple files and choose 260x180 pixel size...

Hi, My iphoto 08 keeps crashing whenever I select the effects button after choosing to edit a photo. I've repaired permissions, dumped the plist.com.iphoto in preferences, tried to choose rebuild libary, created a new library and imported all the photos back in, started a new user account and...

eric2006, So yesterday I did the full re-install of Leopard so frustrated by this eject problem. It drives me nuts to have a computer problem that can't be solved so I keep plugging away until it's fixed. After the complete install and backing up my bunged up system (I know bad idea but I tried...

Satcomer, Thanks, I had tried all those things but only adding these option through Onyx worked for me. Also solved the eject disk image problem as well. Open up Onyx and go to OnyX/Parameters/Finder put a check in the box next to Show Eject item and whatever else you want. You have to do...

Hello, I've been having a few problems with Leopard. The first problem is that I can no longer eject external drives or disk images. (I've tried relaunch finder dumping finder.plists and sidebarlists.plists, resetting PRAM, dumping various plists reinstalling the combo update etc. and nothing...

eric2006, Yes, I dumped the finder.plist and the sidebarlist.plist and no change. Also dumped TechToolPro that was incompatible with Leopard. Ran this app called Preferential Treatment to check plist files and after dumping the ones it mentioned were at fault it said all was fine. I left the...

The even weirder part is that I can use my other sign in username account and can do all this with no problems so it must be something with my system. How do I figure it out? S.

eric2006, Thanks, I'm using that work around right now with Disk Utility so thanks for the link. I've tried the Force Quit in Finder but that does nothing and neither does a reboot. Also the app PathFinder will allow me to eject external drives as well, haven't tried it yet with Disk...

Hi, Lately I've been having this problem with either Firefox or Safari and I download something and the dmg extracts and I'm left with the white casing shell where the app is housed and it won't eject. I can't eject it from finder but dumping it to the trash from finder took it off the...

Thank you both for your help. I haven't tried to convert VOB files back into Visual Hub to see how they divide up in ipod format but will give it a whirl. Also will try the other ones suggested too and see if they do what I'm looking for. Okay am using Visual Hub and tried Handbrake, will...

Hello, So I have a DVD that I converted a bunch of TV shows onto using Visual Hub. The problem is I get 18 hours but it converts into VOB files. Is there an application that will convert VOB files into MP4 format but make them into individual episodes? S.

Hello, Okay I've got most of this problem solved. The clone worked fine and I know it's okay to change the MacintoshHD name but I had to change permissions on the MacintoshHD to user: system to user: my username because Super Duper failed to erase the drive for me. Once I changed...

Hi, I'm on an intel iMac and I have an 500GB external hard drive (G-Tech Q). I have 3 partitions on there now and want to back up my internal drive for my intel (I know I need to choose GUID for a bootable backup). Also though I'd like to make a back-up for my sister's computer and she is...

Hi, I got a G-Tech 500 GB Quadra drive a week ago since my internal drive got rewritten over with Windows XP so want to try and do file recovery. No, I'm not hopeful but want to try for as long as I can. Anywho with my 500GB I divided it into 3 partitions and put Tiger on each partition. The...

Mikuro, Thanks, I fixed the problem of Disk Utility crashing and regular disk images not being able to open. I remembered from awhile back that their is a problem with certain Stuffit Expander versions. So dumped the Stuffit.cm bit in the trash and replaced it with another one. Restarted my...

Hi, My internal drive got reformatted with Windows XP and I'm in the midst of trying to recover files. So I'm booting off of the external hard drive which I sectioned off into three partitions and am working off one of these as my main drive until I find out if I can recover anything...

DeltaMac, Thanks for the explanation. I did it as GUID and see that all the partitions individually are Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I do want to boot from an intel Mac as that is my primary machine. S.

DeltaMac, Thanks. S.
