I'm not using windows.

I'm getting almost there now in fulfilling all my private computer needs on my mac.

Dreamweaver is the final part.

Or could I manage an dreamweaver created web page with another program?

Dreamweaver for mac shouldn't be too difficult to get...

cough (limewire) cough

you may be able to obtain the full CS3 package via bittorrent. I didnt do that of course. You wouldnt catch me downloading naughty things.

[iSmiff]

Or you could use another company who are willing to spend some of YOUR money to support the computer YOU want to use...

Put it like this, if I wanted a BMW, and Shell didn't want to provide fuel that worked with my BMW, I'd not change the car to suit the fuel...

I'd just get the fuel somewhere else.

if only 5% of filling stations carried petrol that worked in your card you fucking well would change it

you run on biodiesel

And remember to not download the patch program for it like matt didn't.

[myrlas]

Have you heard of DVD Profiler?

Is there any program for mac to keep track of your DVD's?

[Claire.]

delicious library

[Matt S]

I didnt get any illegal stuff especially After effects CS3.

[myrlas]

delicious library

That  is a good one. Sadly the scanning part doesn't work on DVD's bought in Norway, but still it's pretty good. It would be better if you could link the information up against imdb.com instead of amazon

And now I fonud one that seems even more impressive:

Don't be so silly. Software isn't available for Macs, except for to draw pictures.

Mudface told me, so it must be true.

my macs gt a spl chkr

[Claire.]

mac's acting weird with screenshots. I hear it make the camera type noise to say it's taken it, but they're not always appearing on the desktop?

Anyone got any ideas?

[¡Basta Ya!]

Run onyX (just check all the boxes in automation)- I had that one one 10.3, running that sorted the permissions and what not.

[iSmiff]

́f your mac is acting weird its probably just got aids

[¡Basta Ya!]

́f your mac is acting weird its probably just got aids

No, I don't think she is using boot camp yet.

[Claire.]

think i've figured it out now.

if i hold ctrl when i take it, it takes it but it doesn't save it, i don't know what it does with it cos i can't paste it or anything.

still acting a little strange, as it pauses and the all the windows freeze for about 5 seconds when it takes a full screenshot. Odd.

I'm utterly floored by the quality of your quick wit and repartee. Really. How about you quit trolling in every fucking thread in on this board? If you've got something constructive to post then please do so, but please spare us from offensively opinionated shite like this in future.

I'm sure Smiff didn't mean any offence, he obviously hadn't realised. YNWA mate. Keep the faith.

[iSmiff]

Calm down Michael, you'll pull or twist something.

Tried that, still pausing when i take the full screenshot, but fine on the others.

[nidgemo]

How much ram do you have in it?

[Claire.]

2GB, it doesn't pause for breath when i ask it to open massive files in PS or render scenes in C4D, so i can't see it having an issue with resources when asked to take a screenshot when nowt is open

[RajR]

Sounds like a re-install of the OS X to me.

No. Are you doing them with apple-shift-4 or using some silly utility to do it?

[Claire.]

just using the shortcuts.

[iSmiff]

but a windows compatible USB keyboard, plug it in and press "Print Screen"

Simple.

[RajR]

But pressing lots of buttons instead of one is way more geeky

[Claire.]

Effort, Smiff.

Right. It's not pausing for as long now, but the camera noise it makes plays but goes a little distorted, but it's still perfectly fine doing the smaller one's using the crosshairs or grabbing a full window, it's only cmd+shift+3 that it acts strange with.

[Claire.]

You'd have to press a lot more buttons to take a screenshot in XP, print screen, then open up a program, paste it in, save it etc. You press 3 keys and that's it.

Simple soloution for simple people. Mac users, however, want to be able to take particular pieces of screen quickly, not just the whole screen.

[Claire.]

well, yes, but i want to know why it's acting funny about it. If there's a deeper issue here, I'd like to get it sorted before it becomes a problem

You can just take a shot of the current window on XP by holding alt with the printscreen key, still need to paste to save it like.

[iSmiff]

i don't know how to use windows so blame the OS and not myself

[nidgemo]

yes, but what if you just want a particular bit, like this...

[nidgemo]

which took a second...

[¡Basta Ya!]

Hmmm... that's strange that is claire.

Might want to try 'zapping' your P-RAM. To do this, restart the machine and whilst it's booting up hold apple+alt+r+p - make sure you hold them down before you hear the bong - what will happen is that it will bong once, then keep holding the buttons down, then it will bong again - which is when you can let go.

It just empties the bits of your RAM which retain information (powered by the onboard battery)

[iSmiff]

how many fingers do you need to operate a mac?

[Claire.]

To be honest, I reckon it is something deeper, cos it was acting funny the very first time i used Grab to take a full screenshot, made my iTunes go a bit whacky for a few seconds.

I've had a look in the console logs, and it gives me this for the times I've took the screenshot:

Sep 24 14:04:09 xxxxxxxx-computer kernel[0]: IOAudioStream0x4db4a00::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (2,728)->(3,7bd).

Sep 24 14:04:33 xxxxxxxx-computer kernel[0]: IOAudioStream0x4db4a00::clipIfNecessary() - adjusting clipped position to (5,73a)

reckon there might be a conflict somewhere? from my experience of chasing down issues on XP, when the sound would skip while another task was being executed it usually meant it was a shared resource, although it doesn't explain why the smaller screenshots are taken without any issue.

I've posted on the apple support forums, see if any mac geeks can shed a little light.

[Mudface_]

Have you attempted to clip to a position one or less buffers ahead of the last clip position?

[RajR]

With the amount of time it's taken to fix this issue, will it be all worth it?
