First of all MAC stands for Media Access Control and Mac is short for Macintosh. Second the best places to learn about the Macintosh is either the Take control eBooks, The X Lab, MacOSXHints, About This Particular Macintosh and lastly Apple's Mac section. For OS X software listing look at VersionTrackeror MacUpdate. Lsstly if you really would like to know get the book Mac...

When I get that message, I've had a lot of luck with opening the problematic .vob file(s) with MPEG Streamclip (free) and selecting Edit -> Fix Timecode Breaks. I then usually Export the corrected file, which re-encodes it, although "Save As" may be sufficient.

Do you have Flip4Mac installed on your Mac? It may help if you downloaded it ....

Get flash 10 (do a clean uninstall of flash first, per the versiontracker page suggestion) and Flip4Mac. I downloaded these to get sound back from youtube vids and myspace audio. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11622 http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm

The lazy person's way, use a uninstall program like AppDelete or CleanApp or AppZapper to make your life simpler.

Hi Racquelle, I just wondered whether you had Flip4Mac or Perian installed? They are extremely useful to have. I'm surprised VLC gets the stutters as it's fairly robust when it comes to playing movie files .... what is the file extension of the movies you want to watch?

The way you want to sync is almost impossible for everything you want to without installing OS X server on the big Mac. To sync Address Book, contacts, iCals calendars then you have some options, Apple's .Mac, ToMacs, BusySync , ChronoSync and many others.

You may want to try USB Overdrive: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13443 It can configure many types of USB devices, including mice, keyboards, gamepads and trackballs.

Yeah it sucks but easy to get around using Switch or EasyWMA and I believe ffmpegX can also do the .wma ~> mp3 conversion.

You can extract Preview.app from the install disc using Pacifist
