Tomm Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Ok guys problamo!Basically I installed some updates in Photoshop the other day which it kinda does automatically. Ever since this it will not let me open or save files. However if I drag a file onto the PS icon it opens which is odd.Something's been corrupted in the update. Just reinstall it.

djb Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'm having flash player problems in both Firefox and Safari. I've tried the plug-in installation method which fails (but doesn't ever say why) and the manual method and I'm still getting the missing plug-in symbols all over the place. I've also tried re-installing Firefox and Safari with the latest versions and that's made no difference what so ever. Any idea please?

Hendrix Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 how do I take a screenshot on a Mac? Do I need a program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 how do I take a screenshot on a Mac? Do I need a program?No. Well, not one that you don't already have Cmd + shift + 3 takes a normal screenshotCmd + shift + 4 lets you draw a rectangleCmd + shift + 4, let go, press space (then click with mouse) lets you take a screenshot of a windowSounds complicated, it really isn't though.They always just get saved on the desktop in png format. You can change it to jpeg by opening grab.app and looking in the preferences OK, maybe it's not that simple. I did it ages ago but I forgot. If you want to change it to jpg, you have to type this in the terminal (and restart):# defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpgApparently you can change 'jpg' to pretty much anything. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with png, it seems to work well doesn't suffer from compression artefacts as badly as jpeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Whats the mac equivalent to alcohol 120%?If you mean virtual drives and so on, you can usually do it with disk utility. Failing that, Toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Why have all the macs I'm using stopped reading FAT32 ?! If I put it in, take it out, put it in... it sometimes works. It's a brand new Macbook Pro, Brand New Mac Pro, Brand New 24" iMac HELP?! I've got to do a mix down very soon, and I can't transfer anything!

Tomm Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 No, Macs will always be compatible with Fat32. The only time it's an issue (I think) is when the drive has a Windows NTFS partition on it as well as the Fat32, and an NTFS MBR. But if it's just a normal drive, all Fat32, there's definitely no incompatibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mate is wrong. http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ Try that if it's NTFS, if it's FAT32 then there's no incompatibility worries, you're doing something wrong. Doesnt matter if the Macs are old or new either, I'm pretty sure FAT has been supported since at least 10.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem some people have is the 4gb maximum file size which is unlikely to be effecting you. Sounds like user error, no offense.

Hendrix Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Right. After a good 30 mins chat to our Mac Expert at Uni. We've established... I should use a Firewire HDD rather than USB, because USB is very temprimental compaired to firewire. I've also learnt, never have more than one hardrive in at a time, it shorts out the bus's... and... Macs have their brute force and shouting moments to get them to work! Bit like a woman in some respects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Who told you that? As far as I know none of that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah, the only reason that would ever be true if it's a really old mac. Macs had firewire before PCs but Apple didn't like the USB standard as much, so I think some of the older (G3?) Macs only had one USB bus with limited backwidth. But if it's a modern mac then it's complete shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 2003 iMac at ACM. The one at home just has a dodgy power supply to the bus's, don't know why... I have three USB Ports on the 24" new iMac, and one firewire port. When everything is plugged in, it runs really hot, really slow, and not much connects. The airport doesn't even find any networks. Reckon I need to take the new one back to Apple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
