Yeah, I just checked on my PC and saw that I am using a quicktime clone. It is basically a full featured QuickTime player with out all the junk and crippledness of the non Quicktime Pro.

Nothing to bad. Just getting around. I really don't like the program install process. It feels almost like it didn't actually install anything. I know it has a different system than Windows and I understand that the basic idea is better than the outdated 1000 dll, 10000 registry edits, and...

Um, eject a DVD when I tell it to? (joke) Support for just about every game? I've seen tons of games that are never made Mac compatible, but what was the last game released only for the Mac? Manufacturers like Blizzard are not the norm. All but some of the most popular console games were...

I've used CD drives since they first came out. I have never had a computer fail to recognize that it even had the CD-Drive installed due to inserting a disk that IS GOOD. I burned the DVD about a week ago. It runs fine in every computer I've tried it in. The Mac just doesn't like it...

It was inserted rightside up.

I'm not seeing the hole if you can.

LOL, if I had SAID my post to you, you would have known that it was sarcasim. Yeah, it was annoying that one of the simplest mechanical functions of a PC is totally lost on a Mac. That putting a disk (that should be readable, all of the other DVD's that I've put in were) into a brand new...

I can understand why it wouldn't eject a CD if a program was using it. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if the button on the front of a Windows PC didn't work if the CD was in use. But the thing that is annoying is, it never once read the CD. No program started using it, because it apparently didn't...

Point taken, but seriously...why no eject button on the CD drive?

Nm

I have a logitech keyboard that is Mac friendly. It has most of the mac commands on it. It just doesn't have an eject key. F12 for 2 seconds DOES eject CD's. It's just that my mac mini wasn't even recognizing that I had a CD drive in the thing.

Okay, apparently I had to hold the mouse button down while restarting the thing. Who thinks up these things?

I swear to God if this $#!( DVD doesn't eject in the next 20 minutes I am returning the thing to the store. I don't have an icon for the DVD on my desktop. I held down F12 for 2 seconds. I tried going into the disk utility and ejecting the volume, but there is no volume listed. I tried going...

I used to play WoW. Infact, my WoW character is what is financing me purchasing a Mac. Sold my account for $1500. I just bought a Mac Mini. I figured that it would be good enough for now and by the time it is to slow to use, a nicer intel version will be out, and by then there will be a...

I have copies of Adobe Primere Pro and Sony Vegas Studio for PC. I'd have to dig for some boxes to see if I could install either of those on a Mac from my origional disks. Most of the time I do my design on my primary PC and then will copy it over to secondary for the...
