OS X :: Reading .xml Chatlogs - Finding App
Jun 17, 2010
I have a bunch of important .xml chatlogs from msn messenger that I need to read, but unfortunately I can't find any programme that will open them for me (nicely). Double clicking on the file opens a blank page in Safari, whereas opening it using TextEdit gives me a whole bunch of code which is really hard to sift through..
I downloaded firefox which lets me read the words in the chatlog without the codings and whatnot, but the words aren't arranged properly and it just appears as one whole chunk of text.

I'm selling my iMac so I bought a new external hard drive today. I formatted it to FAT32 so that I can transfer all my data from my Mac to my PC. So I moved all the stuff onto it and then when I connected the HD to my PC, it wouldn't come up. It comes up on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' thing but not in My Computer.

I just picked up this macbook refurbished that came with 1GB of ram. So I picked up 2 1GB sticks to replace the old ram. When I installed it I got a black screen. So I put one of the old(512MB) sticks back in and it booted up fine and read 1.5GB. So I ran a bunch of different combinations of new and old sticks to make sure that I did not have a bad piece of ram and all of them work fine, just not when I use 2 1GB sticks. I have to have one new and one old for it to work.
Info:
MacBook

Is it possible in any way to read a Windows disk on a Mac...?
And vica-versa...? Any file system that works on both OS...?
I am able to access my PC-external drives via Parallell desktop and Windows XP on my Mac, but if possible I wouldnt like to open the XP at all at my Mac.

Transferring files from my PowerBook G4(1.5ghz/2gb Ram). I was using a flash drive for some stuff but I wanted to put some large video files on my external hard drive. I plugged in the Western Digital HD, 120Gb, but my powerbook would not read it. Is this because I originally used this hd on my pc? Or does the laptop not have enough juice to power the external?

My macbook pro cd drive seems to be acting up. It doesn't like to read any of my burnt cd/dvd-r, but it reads 'proper' and blank DVDs just fine (by 'proper' i mean like DVD movies, Apple Tiger OSX dvd, and such).. The discs that it refuses to read are fine, no scratches or anything. It takes the disc in, spins and tries to read it for about 3 times and spits it out. I've tried using those DVD lens cleaner discs with brushes on them.. but they didn't help. I've also tried resetting my PRAM (and the other one where you hold the power button for 5 seconds while shut down), and that didn't help either.. If it matters, my superdrive details are: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857D: Firmware Revision:KCV9 My machine is bit over 2 years old, so it's no longer on warranty/AppleCare. Has anyone encountered this before?

I am able to watch dvds on my Macbook Pro, but when I insert a CD with photos or music on it, it doesn't read it and says "you just inserted a blank CD".
ALSO, I'm not able to burn CD's.
Anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?

I have Fusion installed on my Mac, and it's all updated and runs fine, and I'm trying to install a program off a Windows-only CD. The problem is the drive in my Mac doesn't seem to accept it. It just ticks a few times and spits the CD back out. Is there a way around this? I've already been high and low on the VMWare site and it appears the virtual machine is communicating with the CD drive just fine.

Bought a MacBook about a year and half ago and have had no issues until today. I have been able to burn numerous CD's and DVD's but for some reason today when I tried to burn a CD it keeps spitting the blank CD out. I doesn't seem to recognize any disk. When I put a disk in it makes a quiet noise like it's trying to read it but after a few seconds spits it out. No application seems to recognize any disk either.

I have a Mac Desktop G5, and it isn't reading burned DVD+R's. The DVD's work fine in our normal DVD player, but it won't even show up on my desktop. I can hear it spinning in there like it's trying to read it, but it just gives up.

I noticed that my 320g macintosh HD is saying I have 298GB capacity, but I have 84GB available on the description on my desktop. If I select get info however in informs me I have 13GB available. I ran disk utility and it comes up that my HD appears to be o.k. Do I have a HD issue? Is there a way to fix this so it will read properly?

I have a 2009 Intel CPU MAC PRO 2.66 Quad Core OSX Lion that will not read a DVD unless I reboot. After a while it will do this again and then I reboot and it reads again.

I have a Mac Mini running 10.5.8 and the latest version of iTunes, 10.6.3. I used to be able to burn music discs at maximum speed with no problem. Lately when I burn a disc, my CD player won't read it. (But the Mac Mini will recognize it as a music disc.) Over the years, I have taken many suggestions to improve the stability of burns. "Only use Verbatim discs," someone said. OK. And yes, I am using CD-Rs, not CD-RWs. "Slow down the burn speed," someone said. Yep. That worked for awhile. But now it's not working.

Mac mini (Late 2006), Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Wondering if there is a speed reading app for Mac OS X like there is for iphone, like ReadQuick? Reading for school is taking a lot longer than I want with the words stretching almost the whole width of the 21.5 inch screen on my iMac?

I have a iBook G4. The cd player all of a sudden is not reading a dvd or a cd when inserted. Never have had a problem with it at all. It tries to read it and then just ejects it. Tried to reinstall a new dvd software for the dvd player but didn't help. Just tried to insert a blank cd to burn jpgs to it and did the same thing, just ejected it.

It will draw them in, groan like it's about to spin up, pause, then groan some more. I hear it spin up a tiny bit, but not to the rate it usually does. The fact that it's spinning at all makes me think it's a read head/lens dirty problem.

My husband and I bought the family edition of Leopard last night, along with iLife08. I installed iLife while he installed Leopard. No problems on either Mac.
However, when I went to install Leopard, once I double clicked to start the install, it seems like my Mac won't "read" the disk. I get the spinning rainbow and there's lots of chugging sounds happening, but after almost an hour (yeah, I'm patient), it was pretty apparent that nothing was actually happening.
I'm really perplexed...it's not a disk problem, as it installed fine on my husband's Macbook...and it's not a drive issue as iLife installed just fine a few minutes before trying Leopard.

Just recently my Mac Pro has started to give me trouble reading DVDs. The DVDs are fine as they read perfectly on my MacBook, but on the Mac Pro, they just spin up a bit in there and never load. Every once in a while, a DVD will load just fine, but for the most part I can't get DVDs to play. I think I've noticed a pattern. CDs and single-layer DVDs load without a problem. It's the newer Dual-layer DVDs that just sit in there and fail to load. I remember hearing about a similar issue in Nintendo Wiis and that it was because the drive was probably dirty. Any tips on how to clean the drives and test that out?

I just wanna know which software be available for read blu-ray commercial disc. I know on PC there is Power DVD but I don't know if it works between cross over. Else, VLC could be great but I'm really not sure. For the info, I'll probably buy the LG internal drive (ggc-h20L). I'm been informed by LG, it can read movie commercial disc. So, I just search a software who read Blu-Ray or convert in another case if it's not possible.

So since my hopes of an internal hardware raid are now out of the question....is it possible to form a software raid in OSX to stripe, and then be able to read and write to that raid on XP through VM?
I know if I bootcamp, I cant access the raid...but can you via VM?
