Intel Mac :: Saving YouTube Stuff To USB As WAV Or MP3?
May 28, 2012
Is there any way to save stuff from YouTube to a USB device for later playback? On my IMac, I guess it's "saved as" an archive link. So, it's just a shortcut when hooked to the internet for playback. When I work @ various places; I have computer access, maybe a Win, maybe a Mac; a lot of times no internet access. So, it would be cool to access music/stuff to pass the time. Usually I can't bring an IPod or such in (paranoia) - so it's maybe a CD or a USB-Wav or MP3.
Last week I deleted my desktop.plist because my desktop stuff was gone - only the background image remained. Everything was fine until today when it happened again. I went to delete the desktop.plist file and there wasn't one - at least not in the same place with the same name.
I have just bought my first iMac. Superb - even though I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do at this stage. Is it possible to record stuff from a VCR onto the Mac? I've got some family videos from 20 years ago I need to get on DVD's eventually - but first need to get them transferred onto the Mac. If it possible - how do I do it?
I have a problem with the Desktop pictures. Other users (not administrators) cannot save their own desktop picture. At each log in it defaults to original picture (before Lion installation).
When saving files to my folder on the desktop from the Mac Email, it does not replace same name files. Instead it makes a new file by adding (-1, -2, etc.) at the end of the file. Is there a setting somewhere that makes it so that this does not happen?
Periodically the wireless network has to be manually reselected in airport even after several attempts to save the preferences. It appears as the preffered network but simply won't stay connected. It is an existing network that has worked just fine with an older PC, and a macbook. The only issue is with keeping the iMac online. Is there a way to correct this so that the "network not selected" nonesense ceases and it remains connected?
I am using a WD 'My Book for Mac' external drive on my mac. I have noticed that photo files are backing up in a much smaller resolution (e.g. 50kb vs the 2mb original). I can't seem to locate a full size on the WD drive. Any tips as I would hate to lose the drive and find all that I have backed up is effectively a thumbnail of all my photos.Â
I have just bought a new desktop iMac to replace my first and original Mac Power PC G4, OS 10.4.11. It has iDVD installed, which no longer comes with the latest iMacs. I have a LaCie external hard drive with just the basic Intego Backup Assistant operating. I'm considering whether to invest in upgrading to Pro, which would allow me to backup the entire hard drive of my old Mac. One of the things that would make up my mind would be whether I could then migrate iDVD to my new iMac, and continue to use it from there?
I just installed a new SSD. Time Machine is active. It says it is saving data. When you open TM, it opens the times that it saved data except there is noting in the boxes and the button to choose a backup to restore is greyed out, not allowing to choose anything as there isn't anything to choose. The TM says that it has backed upped 350 gb of data. There is nothing there however. I rebooted, disconnected external drive, even reformatted and started over. Nothing seems to work.
I used a new USB flash drive this morning to transfer my pictures to. It showed it was transferring them then the screen went blue and nothing responded. I shut down the computer and unplugged everything but now when I turn the computer back on it shows my home screen and I can see the mouse icon moving around but I am unable to 'click" on any of my programs and get a response.Â
I could watch video on youtube a few days ago, and now I can't. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flashplayer and still no video!I have the latest updates.
can't log in to Facebook or Youtube at all....I reset Safari, emptied cache, reset modem, etc Cox communications walked thru their procedure incl. speedtest.net still slow
I am a Bible study teacher who has been able to greatly enhance my lessons with YouTube resources. When we studied Paul's travels, I found a video of how the Romans built their roads with video of still usable Roman roads. It made the drier history come to life. That is, it did until YouTube changed their policies last month. I had a program simply called Downloader that worked wonderfully on my iPad to download videos, and then I could AirPlay them out. There now seems to be nothing working for iPad, so I am trying to find an iMac Downloader for YouTube. It doesn't have to be a free one, just a working one.
Very new to iMac, been using Toshiba, Dell, Sony all this time. Usually I just go to [url]... to download youtube videos....but I can't seem to be able to do it now with this iMac....am I missing a plug in?
Two things: (1) I am unable to view YouTube videos, even those I posted previously and (2) videos friends email to me. Does this have anything to do with the recent malware affecting Macs? Do i need to update Java or disconnect it? Is this an Adobe Flash problem?
