I have been using QTB to broadcast and simultaneously record live events, each lasting about one hour. I am using QTB installed on a Mac mini. An Elgato Turbo.264 HD device is used for encoding. Video feed is from my Panasonic AGDVC30 camera. Audio is input from the microphone feed...

I did a stupid thing. I got a great deal on an external HD enclosure. Such a good deal in fact that I bought 2 of them with the idea of putting my two 500 GB SATA drives from my Quad G5 into them ( I'm replacing the G5's original drives with new 750 GB drives). When I received the...

I recently began having problems with an unresponsive system while running Leopard on my quad G5. I restarted and ran single user mode. I get this confusing message: "USBF: 50.376 AppleUSBEHCI [Ox6ecd800]: :Found a transaction past the completion deadlin on bus Ox4b, timing out! (Addr...

Iv'e installed Leopard on all 3 of my computers. I have no problem synchronizing my wife's iPhone to my computer or my daughter's computer (thus ruling out a problem with the iPhone itself as the cause of the problem to be described). The problem is that I cannot get my wife's PowerBook to...

've had the same "Member name" with Apple for many years. I have been a member of .Mac since the very beginning with the same member name and password for years. Suddenly today my member name is not recognized by Apple at the Apple Store, discussion forums, and I can't sign in to my .Mac...

I have previously used my quad G-5 for Personal Web Sharing. My friend now tells me she is unable to connect to my computer. On investigation I find that somehow the check box next to "Personal Web Sharing" in System Preferences is unchecked. When I try to start web sharing by clicking the...

I just got my new quad G5. I'm very happy with it overall. But I have one annoying problem. I have it connected to my ADC 21 inch Apple Cinema Display with an Apple DVI to ADC adaptor. The problem: I can't start up the G5 by pressing the power button on the Cinema Display. The touch...

I just got my new Quad G5. I transferred my applications from my PowerBook. I'm having problems with iPhoto. I can view my photos and edit them. But when I click on "Order Prints" I get a never ending dialog with "Connecting...". In Activity Viewer it shows that iPhoto is using 98.6% of the CPU...

Several months ago the hospital where I work began offering free wireless internet access. I have been using the system without difficulty for several weeks. Two days ago I noticed that I needed to apply a new security update for my OS 10.3.9. Since installing the update I am unable to use...

I'm looking for your opinion. I just got an email offer from ScanSoft for their OmniPage Professional 15 upgrade for $100. I only occasionally need OCR capabilities. But when I do I want something straightforward and intuitive and accurate. The only two OCR programs that I know for the Mac...

Since upgrading to 10.4.1 I've noticed severe slow down in operations in FCE HD. Frequent spinning beachball. I notice in my console log a strange message: "Johns-Mac /Applications/Final Cut items/Final Cut Express HD.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Express HD: The function CGDrawBitmap is...

Ever since installing Tiger I have this frustrating problem with Mail. All of my messages recieved in the inbox are duplicated. Two copies of each message. I can only imagine I've set up something wrong, but what that is I can't fathom. I am using SpamSieve for spam filtering. But I've...

When burning a DVD image with Toast 6.0.9 on OS X 10.3.9 the process took from 5 to 7 minutes with the selection set at burn at "best" speed. Buring the same DVD image with Toast 6.0.9 (haven't updated to 6.1 yet) after doing an update install of Tiger now takes 24 to 27 minutes. There appears...

I re-installed OS X 10.2.8 because I was having problems with my Firewire and sending video back out to my camcorder. This fixed the problem. But now I can't get LiveType to work any longer. The initial startup window appears on the screen. But it looks strange since it doesn't contain the...

Suddenly I can't transfer edited video back to my camcorder from my PB that I have been using for over a year to do video work. No problem capturing the video from the camcorder to the computer. But data doesn't want to go in the other direction. iMovie crashes everytime I try to export video...

I have a 21 inch Apple Cinema display that I have had for over a year now. I have never understood how to adjust the brightness. I find the screen to be too bright for reading large amounts of text on white. There is a touch sensitive button on the lower left of the monitor with a sun symbol...

I'm new to digital movie making. I've owned my Canon Optura 40 for about three months. I've been using iMovie 4 to edit my movies. I feel reasonably proficient with this product. Now I'm wondering what the advantages might be to moving up to Final Cut Express. Does FCE have significantly...

I have a DVD movie that contains a 20- 30 second animated movie segment that I would like to use for a PowerPoint presentation. Can this be done? If so, how would I proceed? It seems I would first have to figure out how to isolate the segment I want to show in the PP presentation and figure...

Strictly speaking this is not an OS X problem. But I would appreciate any help you can offer me. I have a mixed platform home network (three macs and one Windows XP home edition machine) that all share a cable high speed connection. The macs are all connected wirelessly with AirPort. The XP...

I copied a 9.2.2 system folder from my PowerBook DVI to my flat screen iMac. It contains specific combinations of preferences and extensions that I want for the boot system on the iMac. Unfortunately, this copied system folder won't boot. It boots fine if I copy it to my daughter's PowerBook...
