Applications :: Can Get Drivecam Running On A Mac
Oct 30, 2010
So my dad wants to convert to Mac but he needs to be able to view DriveCam video files (.dce file format). DriveCam only makes the video viewer for Windows.
"Not a problem", I said, as I know I can use Crossover to do this. Unfortunately, I tried this and failed.
I need to be able to play .dce files on a mac...either natively (with some kind of video player) or with an emulator. Has anyone had some success with this or can you give me some guidance?

I'm a late convert to the apple thing mainly because of my love of the iphone. Had decided to buy a macpro after Christmas, but my PC with my Itunes library died today. Have now ordered the new mac and I can't wait. Here's my first question. Had my itunes library setup on a removable drive rather than on the pc. What exactly will I have to do to get my library up and running on the mac.

I just opened up Activity Monitor to force quit an app, and to my surprise I have two processes that are running as 64-bit. I thought this was a Snow Leopard thing?

I was wondering if it is possible to run a few old pc games in virtualbox. Old games, such as, Star Trek: Armada 2, Bridge Commander, and Elite Force. Would I be able to get the performance needed from this (I think the newest game is from 2003, maybe) or do i need to go boot camp?

I'm running Windows Vista x64 so I decided today to install the 64 bit version of iTunes. After installing it I checked the task manager and saw that it was still reported as a 32 bit program, also my iPhone does not seem to be detected. I was just wondering if I installed the wrong version or if there was something I missed. Here is a screenshot of my task manager to help illustrate what I am talking about.

I downloaded Safari 4 today after it was released, but it's running REALLY slow for me. Especially on pages with a lot of images, and most websites I view have lots of images. It's constantly freezing, I always get that spinning rainbow, etc. I want to go back to Safari 3, but I can't figure out how. The safari4 dmg doesn't come with an uninstaller. And I can't re-download Safari 3 because I have a newer version on my computer. What can I do?

I haven't posted in a while, but now I have a question for you all.
I just started a new job, that requires the use of my macbook, and I would like to keep my home and work systems completely separate. My first thought was to install Snow Leopard in a virtual machine on my mac. I already have Parallels 5 for a bootcamp installation, so I tried using Parallels to install SL. No dice, it only works with SL Server. I have two separate SL discs, both standard versions.
I've searched the forums and haven't come across any results for running SL in a virtual machine that is installed in SL.
This is child's play on Windows machines, but seems pretty difficult for OSX. Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations for VMs that will work for this application?

Mail isn't working for me. I'm running osx 10.5.8 and mail 3.6. It won't quit. I have to force quit. Then it won't receive regular mail. It is only receiving junk mail. I have tried deleting the account and adding it again. I have also added another account to see if the problems were still there and they are.

recently got myself a macbook pro and learning the OS still, I'm used to XP. I've found a program I want to run whenever iTunes starts, however I don't want either to run at startup. I know aliases are probably going to be the way to do it but have searched a lot and found nothing. On windows I know how to create an shortcut that when activated, it starts up two programs at once, I assumed there was something similar for OS X? Is there any way to create or alter an icon so it starts 2 programs at once? Ideally I'd have it in the dock and looking like iTunes, but it starts both iTunes and the other app.

I'm currently trying to decide if I'd like to buy a AppleTv as it seems to fit what I would like it to do, but here's my question(s):
Say I have a NAS running iTunes server, for purposes of this question this is the exact one I was looking at (NAS) and I'd like to use this as my main server for all my computers, as in put my library on the NAS so it can stream to any computer / appletv in the house, now will the iTunes server only allow music to be streamed or will it also work with videos etc.
And if this does work, will I have to add the movies / music in iTunes running on a Mac / PC and then sync it to the NAS or exactly how does that work so that it's added to that library?
it might sound kind of messed up after I typed it out, but I'm trying to be clear with what I would like it to do.

I am having a little trouble with my MAC machine. Right now, it is running very slow, and I usually work on application including Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. When I opened a file there (file size could be large), I timed it, it took 12 minutes to open & 5 minutes to print. Such situation wouldn't be normal? I was wondering if I add more memory into the system, will it help at all (increase the response time overall)? Or do I need to tune up anything to reduce the loading time?
Here are the main configurations on the MAC machine:
-Power Mac G5
-Dual 2GH z Power PC GS (2.2)
-1 GB DDR SDRAM

I am just wondering if it would be possible to run a game off of a USB memory stick. The game is approximately 600mb and very old (fallout 2 for mac), and I have very little computer knowledge. I'm used to PCs, but even then I'm no whiz. I absolutely cant install the game to my hard drive, as my flat-mate, who owns the computer is very touchy about me installing things or using memory.

I was wondering if there is an application available that will allow you measure how much a running application is tasking your RAM and processor. (I ask because I recently downloaded a programme called DarkAdapter. It allows me to make my display even dimmer than the default dimming device on the new unibody Macbook. When I run the programme, however, my machine noticeably slows down.)

I recently installed the CS3 studio. Everything is working fine but Flash is taking way too long to get back to work if I switch between applications.
Assume I have a file open in flash, click back to the desktop and click back from there to flash, it takes about a minute (with the spinning wheel) for flash to "un-freeze" and lets me working on my file again. Basically every time I leave flash and come back to it, I have to wait for it to gather stuff and get back on track for about a minute. Who can work like that?
I have plenty of memory, latest OSx and not using unusually large files. Have an iMac.
I have been googeling this issue but couldn't find anything.
I do not have any of these problems with the other parts of CS3 (PS/AI/ID etc), only with flash!
PS: Is it possible it has to do with fonts (about 300 of them) that I had recently installed?

My firefox is all up to date. Within the last few days, firefox has been running very slow for me. Whenever I click or do anything, it takes a while to respond. Very frustrating. This is happening on my iMac. My girlfriend's parents are having the same issue with Firefox in Windows. I am trying to move all my bookmarks to Safari, but when I highlight multiple bookmarks to drag and drop, it only copies one of them. Anyone know how to fix the slowness or the dragging bookmarks??

I've been looking for a way to run a script or application every time my Mac wakes up from sleep. However it's proving to be surprisingly difficult.
The only option I seem to be able to find is SleepWatcher, which runs from the command line, I guess, and I can't seem to find any documentation on it. Well, at least none that actually gets it working. If anybody can tell me how to get it working, that'd be great too.

Don't say VLC. VLC chokes this machine to death. 95% CPU usage. Frame rate is one per second. AVI files need to be played. Are there any codecs I can use with Quicktime v6.5? Or how about a different player? Quicktime seems to run smoothly on this machine. .MOV files play nicely. DVDs play fine. Can't do flash unfortunately.

A few months ago I installed a sync program on my G4 PPC running OSX to try and sync a cell phone I no longer have. It never did work for the phone. So, I found the file under applications and drug it to the trash thinking it was gone. Well it wasn't. Now every time I plug in my ipod it pops up "Sync alert". It wants me to sync my ipod with it but I don't want to. I don't even remember what the program is called, but it does not seem to be showing up in the finder or in the spotlight. I want this program completely gone, I have no use for it.

Closing an application used to be simple:
Right click on the dock icon > then > "Quit"
Or menu bar > app name > "Quit ___"
But recently I discovered, after checking in the Activity Monitor app, that some apps just will retire its icon from the Dock, but they will still be running in the background actively consuming resourses (real mem, % CPU, CPU Time, etc.)
I have noticed that this can happen with other apps. (So far) these others are: iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, AddressBook, QuickTime.
It is disturbing to think that every time I have to close an app, I have to do it by using the "Quit Process" in the Activity Monitor utility.
Either the app is set to keep the icon in the dock or not, after closing the app, the icon's light indicator turns of or the icon removes itself from the dock acordingly, but the app will remaing running in the background.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

i would like to install my system and all applications on flash drive. I have seen those SSD kit I can install [URL]... but was wondering if I could simply install and run from SD card, would save me from replacing my optic drive).
Basically I would like my system and all applications running from Flash, while all my Medias would still be saved on the hard drive. That way, my daily work (Mail, Calendar, IMovie, Photoshop, Safari, ...) would run extremelly fast and when it comes to watch a movie and look at pictures (which i shouldn't be doing at work anyway...) it would read from my hard drive and then have the "normal" speed.
For Info, I have an early 2011 Mac Book Pro 17", 2.2 I7, 4g of Ram, basic configuration)
It seems pretty easy in my mind to set it up that way, but it might sound too easy... and wondering why apple never actually made it that way in their machine. Because lets face it, that would be awesome !!!
So... millions of question here. First is it possible ? is and SD card reliable enough to run all day long, every day ? I would have to use an expresscard Adapter, would that make me loose speed ?
I will also upgrade to 8g Ram. again seems like a cheap way to get the dream computer, so there might be something I'm not aware of.
Info:
MacBook
Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I have a Macbook running Leopard and an iMac running Tiger. I am looking to upgrade Leopard to Snow Leopard and Tiger to Leopard. If I were to purchase Snow Leopard and install it on the Macbook, would I then be able to use the copy of Leopard that came with the Macbook on the iMac? I am not trying to use 2 copies of the same thing on different machines, I just want to put a new os on one machine and move the existing one to another.I am reluctant to purchase the Mac Box Set version of Snow Leopard for the iMac because I do not want or need iLife and iWork.
