Quicktime is my preferred method as I can output as AAC (mp4) and save as .mov and powerpoint usually accepts. An audio editor is very handy tool to use and acclimatise one self with. Audacity is free and very good with lots of options or just edit within QT pro if have. Experiment and play you will be surprised what can be achieved. Oh, one last thing large audio files will not be embedded within powerpoint presentation a link to your file will be created so make sure all files are in the same folder when outputting and saving file elsewhere.

Re: My Card Reader won't read a San Disk
Howdy Philippe, On 22/11/2005, at 5:04 AM, you wrote in the WAMUG Mailing List digest: So it looks like I'll have to buy a memory card from another manufacturer, but which one? I regret I've no idea about new stuff. My PS toy is 6yo with the original 10Meg card. It looks like you will have to approach this by eliminating one component at a time. For my own example with the CF card (SanDisk), while I couldn't mount the card using a SanDisk reader, I had no problem mounting it using an el-cheapo pocket reader. But then I didn't have any possible USB1/USB2 complications, because I plug the reader directly into the Mac's USB2 port. Perhaps your retailer is prepared to let you take a reader and a card on spec for trying out combinations? I used to be able to find pc retailers who'd let me try memory sticks and all kinds of pc cards before I made final decisions. If your problem remains, this is a UK photography forum with Mac users that my nephew recommends. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1017. It's pretty busy, so your question might get looked at soon. I hope your Westnet experience will be as good as mine continues to be. And I don't even get paid to do this ad. amicalement, Nancy M

Unable to establish a secure connection to the server.
Hoping someone can help, Everytime I try to go to a webpage in Safari that requires a secure connection, I get a message like the above. I tried in firefox, and that will allow me to go to the page, but the little secure padlock is crossed out, so the actual connection is not secure. Would this be a problem with my network settings - I have the osx firewall running, or something wrong on my isp's end (tpg)? Running 10.3.9 with an adsl connection. Hope that's enough info - any ideas? Cheers James
Unable to connect to secure server - solved.
Well this was fixed by deleting the System.Keychain file. It has worked but who knows what horrible repercussions this will have!! Thanks also for your suggestion Robert. Cheers James
An Acrobat6 niggle
Every time I restart Acrobat6 it comes up with a warning Acrobat has been updated. Please restart before continue. It is fully updated to 6.0.4 and I have worked my way through the preferences and switched off everything that looks in the least relevant. There is a slight delay before the warning so I suspect it has been off to the Adobe site as soon as it opens. If I put the message away everything is fine until next restart. Has anyone any suggestions. Is it subtly telling me to fork out and buy v7?

Please restart before continue. In general, that type of warning is typical when you have just installed some finicky software but have not yet restarted (or logged out and logged back in). For instance, if you had freshly installed Acrobat Std/Pro for the first time and then tried to run it, you might get that type of warning. I don't know if your problem is a common problem or not, but here are some ideas: - Search the Support documents at http://www.adobe.com -- they are pretty good at providing solutions to Adobe's bugs. - In addition to disabling the 'Update' preferences in Acrobat, you could try to find the 'Detect and Repair' settings and turn those off too. 'Detect and Repair' applies to PDF Print, PDF Web Browser Plugin, and Microsoft Office PDFMaker. In Acrobat Pro 7, the 'Detect and Repair' settings are found in the Help menu (!?!?!?!?!?!). In Pro 6, I don't know where you can find them but I think it's described in an Adobe support article. - Re-install Acrobat 6.

Scrolling errors (Mac OS X)
Hi everyone, Is anyone with Tiger experiencing erroneous scrolling when combining a scrollwheel with mouse clicks? I have observed this to happen with both lists and panes that have scrollbars, and also in text-edit boxes. Basically, here are the apparatus and steps to reproduce: - People using Tiger (e.g. 10.4.3). I am not yet clear on which hardware or software versions experience the problem, so I would appreciate any feedback to help me report this to Apple's Radar. - People with a scroll-wheel mouse (e.g., Mighty Mouse or Windows mouse) or PowerBook with scrolling trackpad. - Any application window with multiple scrollable areas (where scrollable includes regions with scrollbars *and* also text boxes with text that is too long to fit on-screen at once). Some examples: iCal with a long list of To-Do items; iTunes' Get Info window with long track titles. 0/ Open a programme with multiple scrollable regions or text boxes. 1/ Scroll one such area to its top- or left-most extent. I will refer to this area as area A. 2/ Now click into another scrollable area or text box, which I will call area B. 3/ Now move the mouse over top of the original area, A, but do not click on it yet. 4/ Use your scroll wheel or scrolling trackpad to scroll area A to a new position. 5/ Now click an item or text location within area A. 6/ Observe whether area A has jumped back to its original location and selected the wrong item (or text location). If you try this, could you e-mail me off-list? It's possible that this bug is already widely known, and I don't know how long it's existed. PS. The point of this bug seems to be that if you scroll an area (A) while the text-entry focus is in a different area (B), then clicking into area A will cause it to return to the position it had when you originally swapped the focus to area B.

I have found hitquad.com to be the versiontracker.com of the audio world for me, they don't miss much. The bit you might look for there is Shareware Music Machine. You will need an audio editor if you want to cut or trim the recordings, most would also handle the recording itself I'd imagine. I use Audio In(free) to record and Peak(not free) to edit. Good luck Paul
