Here's a few tools to help:
To extract the footage from the DVD:
MacTheRipper 2.6.6
Yade X
To convert the extracted footage to other formats:
MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1

You can get little plastic adapters that the small CDs/DVDs fit into to make them the same size as 'normal' sized CDs/DVDs...
3" (8cm) CD Singles used to come supplied with these adapters, but I couldn't find anywhere online that sells them, except eBay items that actually are 3" CD singles.

Yeah, generally you just drah the app to the trash, but also have a look in ~/Library/Application Support and you may find some apps support files.
Also, try AppZapper: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20306

I meant to ask this ages ago. You know the new macbook and imac have built in isight is there anyway to use the built in isight with msn. I am pretty sure you can't but wanted to check.
All my contacts are on msn you see i don't have anyone on ichat to speak to so it will be pretty useless otherwise.
Maybe there is some sort of patch available.

Apparently you can't, but it's Microsoft's fault, not the iSight. M$ haven't added support for the iSight to MSN yet... it's rumoured that they might in a future version, but, well, it's Microsoft - who know's what they'll do!

I found a version of messenger on the Apple site called aMSN. It's not made by microsoft but fully secure, and it will show proper smilies and you can use the webcam on the iMacs.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks and think it's pretty good. More comparable to the PC version of messenger - much more advanced. |
