View 1 Replies View RelatedI've done a few (well a lot) of DVDs now with iDVD using avi files on my hard disk with a view to either giving as presents or watching with the family on TV.
We do not want to hover around my laptop to watch a movie In about 90% of these iDVD created DVDs I get an error message from iDVD that there was a problem during encoding and if we try to watch them throgh the TV/DVD player then the film just stops about 75% of the way through.
Does anyone know of a reasonable alternative to AdBlock for Safari? I would like an unobtrusive ad-blocking extension that is equally effective. I understand that it will not be officially supported, but that's fine so long as it doesn't compromise performance/security. AdBlock uses way too much memory and it cripples Safari, causing it to hang/crash repeatedly. You can find the bug report here: [URL]
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for an alternative to iPhoto for viewing and organizing photos. I need something that allows for tags like iPhoto does and preferably something with a full-screen mode for editing.
My main problem with iPhoto is that it gets bogged down when you have imported thousands of photos. And I hate having to import photos on external drives before I can view them.

I'm a freelance journalist and want to start using software that will help me keep track of contacts, projects, outlying opportunities, etc. Daylite gives me damn near everything I want, but I cringe at the $189 price tag. Are there any alternative programs out there that provide the same sort of functionality for less cash? I've played around with the trial version of OmniFocus as well, but I can't figure out any way to have it store contact/client information and link clients to projects...and I really need to be able to do that.

View 19 Replies View RelatedI just started using iTunes as my music database. For that reason I started to rip all my CDs. Much to my surprise iTunes doesn't find the metadata (for tagging) for a lot of my CDs. I know the data is on discogs and sometimes even on amazon. Is there a way to automatically retrieve the data from those alternative sources. Just like media monkey does? It is really annoying to manually tag all those CDs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got iWork 09, and while I am loving it, there is one feature that I greatly miss and use a good deal of the time. I NEED an equation editor. I really don't care if I have to export to an image, but I need something that will let me put equaitons in iWork. It also must be free, because I blew what money I had left on iWork, Airport Extreme, and an iPod case (yes I know, I went crazy at the Apple store). I only have about $20 left, and I am saving that to upgrade my RAM at some point. if you could please suggest something, I WILL try it. For now I will be using the equation editor from Openoffice 3.0 to do my equations, but that is hopefully only temporary.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am a switcher and to be honest with you I cannot live without some of the Windows applications. One of such programmes is a tiny one called RapidUploader (an official upload manager for [URL]). At this time I am using RSUploaderX for Mac OS as an alternative, but unfortunately it is veru unstable and stops with uploading from time to time. Could you tell me what application you use for uploading files to [URL]? Is there a good programme as the official RapidUploader for Windows?

If not amazon video, is there another opton that has an online library/storage system and allow downloads to be imported into itunes when needed ?
