Re: .VOB files on a Mac

Jon, On your Desktop create a 'New Folder' by going to File > New Folder Name the new folder VIDEO_TS Select all the files in "List View" (list view will have them in order) & drag all the files in order into the VIDEO-TS folder Then drag the folder down onto DVD Player in the dock, it should

Re: .VOB files on a Mac

Thanks Ronda. No such luck I'm afraid, as it has no other supporting files on the DVD. It looks like someone has copied these files only to a new disk and not the rest of the package. My client wants us to view their PR CGI footage and have just sent these files. Thanks Jon On 18/08/200

Re: pdf to html background for Apple Mail

Hi Ronni Thanks for the idea, but if I follow the copy & paste route, I just end up with the text from the pdf in the email, minus the graphics. The pdf I'm playing with is a single page flier, mostly graphic. But rather than send as an attachment, I was trying to send as a html email. I

Hi there everyone I have been given a DVD that has files saved in three different file formats (.VOB, .IFO, .BUP) and I cannot play them on my MacPro, or MacBook Pro. Is there anyway of doing this to anyones knowledge, will VLC work, or do I need another app for this? The DVD does not have

Re: Prefs & The Ball

Hi Ken, No, never had it happen before ;) Can you change the clock back to Digital using the Menu Bar at the top of your desktop? Then check System Preferences > Date & Time, and see if you have all correct settings under 'Date & Time', 'Clock' & 'Time Zone'. Cheers, Ronni On 18/08/20

Re: 4 corners program 'Life in the Fast Lane'

Hi, As a starting point, "bots" fall within the virus/spyware/adware/malware/break-in vulnerability spectrum. Detection, prevention, and susceptibility fall along those lines. If you've previously made a decision not to worry about anti-virus for Mac OS X due to the relatively low risk, you need

Hello WAMUGers, Security security ... Be very aware of what you are downloading and clicking on. Malicious bots are computerized programs that are installed onto your Mac computer without your knowledge. These programs use your Internet connections, email and the websites you visit to conn

Hi Yes I saw the program, scary wasn't it? Did you notice how many Mac's there were being used by both the investigators and the crooks. I wonder how Macs fare in all this? Regards Peter On 17/08/2009, at 10:07 PM, Clyde McLennan wrote: Hi all, Following the 4 corners program on intern

Re: 4 corners program 'Life in the Fast Lane'

Hi Clyde and WAMUG'ers, Yes, this program was 'scary' to say the least. It just shows how prudent one must be on the internet. I am not sure of which application would be recommended to check for the 'bots' etc on the Mac OS X, but I use a very good software called Little Snitch which will indic

Hi I have just decided to check to see if I had any WAMUG mail. Somehow, over the past few hours, my settings have changed themselves (?) Does anyone know how I can reinstate the settings as they were previously - i.e. so that if I click on Ronda Brown, her message appears on the bottom
