Thanks. I'll see if I can get the whole suite from somewhere. Downloading is really a pain, you know !

 

[yash]

If I'm not wrong, FCS Studio 1 is the whole suite, while FCP 5.0 is the video editing app, right ?

Can I install and run FCP 5.0 only ? I don't want the other stuff

ahem... FCS. that's final cut studio. not "FCS studio.."

 

[preshit.net]

ahem... you quote me, but not him ?

FCS studio 1, which includes FCP 5.0..........

And well, who gives a duck anyway ! Meh!

FCS studio 1

Do you guys know that it is very easy to change the colour of the Leopard Dock to any hue you want?

Currently, mine is set to the purple shade that is prominent in the default wallpaper and coupled with it, it looks cool.

 

[preshit.net]

You guys make me wanna catch hold of Leopard and install it

Problem: I have a couple of iTunes tracks which I need to 'share' with others. What is the best way to get rid of the DRM other than burning an Audio CD?

Okay, does anyone know how do I schedule my router to reboot ?

Open it with QuickTime Player and export it to WAV. Import it in iTunes and convert to MP3 or AAC.

OK, guys. Can you please tell me frankly whether the Dock in the following picture is looking like crap or not?

Be frank. If it is crap, please say so.

 

[RCuber]

Thanks for the DRM tip arya .. I needed this one

 

[goobimama]

Export menu in Quicktime is grayed out. I guess I'll burn that CD then...

 

[RCuber]

I tried to convert it to AAC with iTunes and it said we cannot convert protected files and I dont have Quicktime pro

BTW I had posted a tut on how to take back up of purchased music here

its neat. I don't mind it. not very original on your part tho. but I haven't delved into that subject myself so I don't know how much of an effort(or not) doing this is. so I am not in a very good position to judge it.

 

[goobimama]

Wait a minute. Is it weird that you have to put an iPod Shuffle 2G upside down while charging it in it's dock?

 

[yash]

hey, why can't you(or how can you) mod a regular dock... i mean the one that's on the side? because i've been using the dock on the side lately.

Not good

 

[preshit.net]

Looks OK to me !

Also, someone please tell me how do I schedule my router to reboot.

I basically can do it over telnet, so a shell script that can be scheduled or something like that

Oh boy even I need this one!!!

Also I plan to keep my Mac ON during nights for downloads, which requires me to keep it charging. So is there any chances of battery getting overcharged and getting damaged say after some time. Or does the Mac battery has any circuit which prevents the battery from getting overcharged??
In short can I keep my Macbook charging continuously for 12 hours ???

How can I use iSight Web Camera to record videos ??

I feel it is insane on Apple Inc's part to not include a DVD-RW in MacBook, I mean a 30 lappy will carry a DVD Burner than why not Mac ?? So I am looking to upgrade my Combo drive to DVD Burner and also add 1 Gb ram in addition to 1gb already available . So how to go about this not to forget that I got my Mac from US, and I want to get it done with Apple guys!! Any apple stores available in HYD or anyother part of India ???

Still looking if someone could help me get Windows drivers for Airport Extreme Wireless card

 

[goobimama]

No problems with keeping your laptop plugged in all the time.

To record videos using iSight, you can use Quicktime Pro, iMovie, or PhotoBooth (only in Leopard).

As for your DVD writer problem, yes, it is a major one. However, if you get a DVD writer from apple 'officially', the price is somewhere 12k which is totally not worth it (makes you appreciate Applecare Protection Plan). You can ebay for some third party DVD writers that fit in a macbook.

@Milind, yash, superczar
Help me out with this.

See these pictures:

My Mac should have around 30GB free, but it is showing only 1.55GB of free space. This is so infuriating. I have to go to Siliguri tomorrow and I was thinking of carrying Smallville along with me but due to this, I cannot.

Please help me out urgently!

@yash and kalpik,
Thanks for the feedback!

@yash
It is extremely easy to modify the new 3D Dock. I wasn't asking for a judgement of how skillful my work was. I wanted to know whether it looked any good.

 

[goobimama]

Do that terminal print-file-list thingie (don't know the exact command). That's what I saw in a thread with a similar situation where space was suddenly used up...
