- Alas Finder is still crashing- does not like ctrl + clicking at all!

Up to now I did nothing with them as the thread on the other forun just said look in the folder - not what the next step would be. Thanks a lot for the advice - I will give this a shot and report back here

Hi I did try to find a threat that related specifically to the problem I have before posting this but couldn't find one. What I did find related more to g4's and not Intel. On other forums there was advice to look in '~/library/Contextual meno items' and all I find there are 3 plugins - no...

Absolutely not - I am trying to dump information from my mac hard disc to a proprietary hard disk. The proprietary HD only becomes a "Microsoft' HD as you put it when it is formatted as such. What I am saying is that unformatted the Mac did not even detect the drive. If I could have detected it...

Wilmaaaaa!!!!!

Salival - you're magic. You're absolutely right. It's still dreadful on the Part of apple for not having this better illustrated or indeed having any rerference in either the view, preference or help files. Quite clearly this is something that only the seasoned and experienced Mac user woul...

Preview is absolutely awful for managing and viewing graphic files! Possibly the worst app I've ever used on any platform for this purpose. An a Graphics designer I've used quite a few, so that's really saying something! Again and again I try to get something useful or even logical out of...

Hi Saival I run the reset permissions routine once a week already. I had MPLayer, VLA and Mplayer all installed and it is my guess that MPlayer and QT were having conflicts. At present since removing MPlayer last night Quick Time is playing the mpegs with sound and vision (fingers...

Hi Fryke I haven't deleted QT as yet but I did so previously having saved the codecs folder elsewhere first. I have taken MPLayer off though and will maybe restart the machine tomorrow sometime and see if the condition had impoved.The conflict is that bad that even playing Myst I couldn't hear...

Hi.... I badly needed to dump a lot of clutter on my HD to storage bins and bought an internal ide 80Gb drive which you can hook up to your PC or Mac via a SATA/ATA to USB connection Cable.*** The Mac however does not seem to recognize it at all where PC does. In PC once it's recognized the...

Satcomer - I guess I can add that once upon a time there was film. I've been arounf long enough to remember it too, Film was film and came in 8mm or 16mm varieties. you bought a roll or a few rolls of film and made your movie, or bought a movie put in in your machine and it delivered end result...

Guys thanks - Like I mentioned in my last reply to Salival's post (at the very end) i finally discovered a quick way to do this without having to go through wave. But if the disc contents are not stored on the gracenote database everything gets lumped into a unique untitled folder as Track 1...

well I was faced with this a few days ago - and once again I bring up the 'clutter' factor. It seems to me the only way to do this is to import wav files or whatever into the Library then cmd clicking to convert the tracks to mp3 so having again 2 or 3 versions depending of the same track in...

Satcomer - Thanks (for the hack tips too! I trawled this a few days after buying the machie and found some french site with a drive flash hack but alas that is sadly only good for non-intel variants)! This would seem to be the case. I mentioned maybe on another thread I have perian, Flip for...

Just backtracking on some of what we addressed in this thread.... The Mpeg format being and extra - as deltamac also pointed out. This has always been free on both windows and Linux so now I am completely confused. It's things like the dreadful .wmv format and Microsoft having the b***s to...

Sourcehound - thanks for the tip. I downloaded it but cannot get used to the microscopic size which is needed to make it unobtrusive. Despite Fryke's tip the problem still prevails! Like I mentioned it is intermittent. Incidentally your program looks sweet - very similar to TigerCleaner...

Fryke -let's put this all behind us now!!! But please read your reply again and imagine yourself say in an Irix forum and you were used to doing things the Mac or Windows way for that matter. You are there to seek help - and I still defend what I say (open-midedly too for that matter) about...

Salival - I think maybe we're at crossed purposes here (possibly my fault and if so I apologise - I have not read back on the thread today). What I am referring to is thumbnailed views as opposed to Icon views. Finder as far as I can see, clearly does not have this capability The...

This is extremely patronising on your part and I take offence - I came here for help and openly admit I am from a Windows-drugged existence. However such functionality also exists on Linux which is Free so what I refer to as 'basic' is something that both platforms possess yet Mac seemingly does...

As I mentioned there is an icon view in finder but it's ridiculous - one by one!!! The grahpicconverter program that DeltaMac mentioned is far closer to what I was looking for that you get thumnail views of ALL the jpegs in a folder at one time. However it still seems to do thigs the mac way as...
