Applications :: Finding Digital Color Meter Alternative?
Oct 11, 2007I'm looking for an alternative to OS X's DigitalColor Meter under Utilities. I'm looking for a Mac equivalent to ColorPic on Windows [URL]. The drawbacks of the DigitalColor Meter are that I can't copy the HTML color code in one click of a button, and that I can't capture more than one color at a time.

Sep 11, 2010I'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.
Applications :: Finding Alternative To IPhoto?
Dec 1, 2010I 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've seen a lot of recommendations for Picasa, but I can't use that 'cause I'm on a PPC.

Dec 15, 2010I'm looking for an all-in-one app (preferable) or suite of apps that can handle business contacts, general note-taking, to-do lists, tasks a calendar, basic project management etc.
Big plus if it can also do invoices, but that's not required.
So Omnifocus and Things wouldn't really apply here because those are specific for GTD type stuff.
I've looked at Contactizer Pro, SOHO Organizer, and Relationship so far. Not crazy about any of them.
Applications :: Finding Software Alternative To Adobe Indesign?
Apr 5, 2008if there was another program available for mac that preformed a similar function to that of Adobe Indesign CS3? I have heard of a program called Swift Publisher, but that does not seem to suit my needs fully. Pages also seems to be a tad too simple for what I intend it to be. So, to restate, is there a program which performs a similar function to that of Adobe Indesign?

Hardware :: Color Calibrating Monitor Using Color Meter - How To Use Color Meter And Save Color Profile
Feb 20, 2009before switching to Mac, I used an "X-Rite Eye One Display 2" color meter device with software. You can find them most places like Amazon for about $150. The device should still work, but I can't find any software for it for the Mac. After going to the X-Rite web site, I could find no software at all for the Mac as it is only windows based.
Surely someone out there has used a color meter such as this one as they are quite popular especially for graphics artists that use professional graphic monitors. I am hoping someone can tell me how to use my color meter (USB), what software for Mac Leopard I need and how to save the color profile in the Mac OS.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Finding Winclone Alternative?
Oct 13, 2010I'm planning on purchasing a new hard drive soon to replace my current MacBook Pro 15" HD. For Mac, I'll be restoring my HD configuration through Time Machine.
I don't really want to reinstall Windows and reinstall all the apps and games on it and do not have a Windows-based imaging program that I could use.
I've heard of an app called WinClone that acts like CCC or SuperDuper and can image and restore the installation for you. However, the development of WinClone has apparently stopped and according to some posts in the MacUpdate link, it is incompatible with Snow Leopard/other users are experiencing problems while using WinClone.
What should I do?
OS X :: Finding Alternative To HandBrake?
Jun 27, 2006I've got a DVD that I've been trying to rip to a movie file for the last three days, and have so far been unsuccessful. (and before anyone asks, it's a non-copyrighted DVD that our company has the rights to) What's happening is it gets 99.5% done ripping, then it just kind of sits there for a while, then the program closes. I end up with a movie on my desktop that isn't playable. I've tried on two different computers, ripping to two different formats (MP4 and H-264). I've tried ripping it directly from the DVD, and also ripping the DVD to the hard drive first and then creating the file from that. It does this every time, and I think it's just HandBrake being flaky. The DVD itself plays fine. Anyone suggest an alternative way for me to do this?
View 16 Replies View RelatedApplications :: IStat Menus 3.0 Battery Meter Not Accurate?
Sep 17, 2010I just upgraded to iStat Menus 3.0, and was trying to use the new Battery meter. I was running on Battery when I installed it, and I was comparing it to the Apple meter to make sure it matched, and the % and time remaining was identical. Then I plugged my MacBook in, and iStat said it had like 3:00 hours remaining to a full charge, and the Apple meter said like 1:48. I let it discharge completely thinking that might help, but its still messed up. Right now iStat says 2:03 remaining, and Apple says 1:05. Both of the percentages are at 77%. Anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix it?

Dec 5, 2008I heard a rumor that there would be an alternative to Parallels for running Windows OS on a Mac. I like how Parallels runs at the same time but it does run slow on my Mac and makes all other programs slow down, too.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMacBook Air :: Finding Alternative For MBA Applecare?
Oct 28, 2010this will be my first mac - and i need some advice on applecare
my friend has kindly bought a MBA from hong kong on my behalf and i'll get it later this week (can't wait!). what i need to decide is if i should purchase some sort of 'insurance cover' for this MBA.
applecare is the obvious choice. however, �199 for the 2 additional years seem quite pricey. although i have links with my university, i believe i won't be able to get the educational price (�47) given the MBA was purchased from the HK online store.
do you think the �199 applecare will be important or are there 3rd party insurance covers out there i can consider?
Mac Mini :: Finding Drobo/Alternative?
Oct 15, 2009With a Mac Mini as a HTPC, I am going to add external storage that can be expanded to about 8TB. I don't see myself maxing out 4TB in the near future.
I have looked into Drobo, despite all of the mixed reviews. Some say they love it, some say it is slow and have had problems, and some have said their Drobo died no more than a year in. However, the ease of use and ease of expandability is very tempting. So, if I do not find an alternative I will purchase a Drobo soon.

Aug 31, 2009I've used visual hub for quite a while now and I love it but it only runs in 32 bit. Is there a 64bit alternative? I did a bit of research and found the beta of Handbrake that runs in 64 bit but what I loved about visual hub is that you can queue up however many videos you want and click go. With Handbrake, you have to queue up each video manually.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIntel Mac :: Finding An Alternative To Spotlight?
Jul 2, 2012This morning I found a file I was looking for then went back to find it again and spotlight will not locate it. I have re-started my computer and get the same results. I am hoping someone knows of some app that will so what spotlight is supposed to do. Another thing that bothers me is that I cannot tell where the file actualy is. If my recollection is correct, in the last OS X version, if you just held the cursor over the spotlight item for a few seconds, the location would be revealed. This no longer works?
