Hi Alen, mp4 is a container format, which means it can contain audio and video encoded with almost any codec - alas, even Adobe Flash. So in answer to your question it depends entirely on the encoding of the contained audio and video. Cheers, Carlo Sent from my iPad On 30/04/2012, at 17:08, A

Hi Merv, Yes, you can have as many bootable partitions as will fit on your drive. Format the partitions as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to make bootable copies. Cheers, Carlo On 27/04/2012, at 15:19 , Merv Bond wrote: > As mentioned on another thread I

Hi Merv and Peter, I would be wary of those connectors. Notice they are all on resale sites, none are manufacturer sales. They could be fakes. As I said earlier, I don't believe it is possible to convert USB to Firewire with just a simple pin-to-pin cable. USB used the PC as the bus master wher

Hi Merv, As far as I know USB and firewire are incompatible formats. Unless there is some sort of fancy conversion hub involved (that I am not aware of) no cable will be able to connect the two. Cheers, Carlo On 26/04/2012, at 21:28 , Merv Bond wrote: > I have been looking on the net at cable

One additional though. Have you tired a different set of speakers or headphones? There could always be an internal break in the cable. C On 13/04/2012, at 10:53 , cm wrote: > Hi Tim, > > You could be experiencing a hardware failure. I know it is always a surprise > when hardwar

Hi Tim, You could be experiencing a hardware failure. I know it is always a surprise when hardware fails, but when software fixes doggedly refuse to work it is indicative of possible hardware problems. If you have an external drive, you could try a clean install of any compatible version of OS

I should have added, it is probably not a good idea to regress to older version of Safari. As one of Apples banner products, there are many security an performance fixes in each release, so we are best off installing updates as soon as they are available. C On 31/03/2012, at 11:08 , cm wrote
