I'm not sure I even knew it was a public release at the time...I bet I got it through a Hotline server or something. Yeah, I still use Audion, except it somehow broke in 10.4. It works fine in os9, but a [different] install in 10.4.11 refuses to work. I'm not sure what the deal is: I tried removing everything audion related in ~/Library, but it just freezes at start. It's strange, I'm not sure what the deal is, but if anyone knows what the hell, I'd appreciate the advice.

Sometimes on my macbook pro with Lion I'll get a small box of horizontal stripes showing up on a random spot on a screen. This tends to happen more often when playing youtube videos, but it doesn't always happen, and it goes away if I alt-tab back and forth a few times. Am I going to have to take this in to replace the graphics card?

 Anyone else have icons just appear in their Finder toolbar out of nowhere? I swear I don't remember dragging anything in there.

I think I stumbled on this sometime way way back and probably just declared it useless and forgot about it. It seems to work for any Finder item just as well, though nothing is labeled so its use for files and folders is questionable. Edit: Wait! Ctrl-Click lets you switch to Icon & Text mode.

I imported a short movie clip into iMovie '08, and I wanted to add a music clip to it. However when I dragged the audio clip into the top center cell I just get the music note icon and a gray dotted line. Not sure what to do next because it doesn't play along with the movie.

I downloaded a PDF map of the world with political boundaries and names from the CIA Factbook. Unsurprisingly, OS X allows PDFs as valid desktop wallpapers. But here's the thing that would make it really killer: Is it at all possible to zoom in on a PDF background? Then I could zoom around on my map and read labels in perfect clarity.

Yech, that Winamp beta is like a black hole against my desktop. Way too dark. If they're going to stick with the custom theming, they should at least keep the high-contrast bright colors for the buttons and things to make any of it actually easy to see.

What's the SHSC-preferred mp3 tag editor? I've been using a something called id3-tagit for years that's Windows-only and hasn't been updated since like 2005 or something. I don't really want something that does automatic reorganization (don't trust it), but if there's a tool that does that but also allows me to work manually that's fine. Stuff I want: 1. Select an album and do freedb lookups by track count / track length signature. 2. Move / rename based on id3 info, e.g. /<root>/<artist>/<album>/<track #> - <song title>.mp3 3. Deal with and convert between various text encodings. 4. Manually batch edit v1 and v2 tags. Any recommendations? Thanks!

NerdPolice posted:I've had a lot of luck using MusicBrainz Picard. It can use plugins if you don't like the default function AND it can do as much or as little as you want it to. It also searches based on unique signature of the file, so even if the tags are completely screwy it can usually figure out what it SHOULD be. It isn't perfect and there is a search option to correlate with.

Also, I'm still not all that impressed with how OSX handles Windows shares - *clicks on server.... connecting....* etc. The alias in the Finder bar helps, but I kind of wanted a bunch of shares in the Favorites bar to kind of imitate permanently mapped shares I used to have in Windows...

Cockwhore posted:last I checked, if you edit metadata in iTunes, it writes it to the iTunes library but not to the file itself, so if you move the file, the data gets lost. Is that still the case? Right-click on the track(s) in iTunes, choose "ConvertID3 tags..." and iTunes will write the metadata into the file(s), not just the library.

I was debating putting this in the hardware thread but I think it's more software related so..... For the last year, I had an USB hard drive plugged directly into my iMac. This drive houses all of my torrent and media and showed up as a drive on the desktop called "Backup" (orange disk icon). Now that I've got my Time Capsule up and running, I decided I wanted to plug the drive into the TC so that it could live out of sight in my closest. I've got everything plugged in, I'm able to browse to the drive (Finder -> dexter6's Time Capsule -> Backup) fine, however the drive does not show up "mounted" and on the desktop. As a result, uTorrent can find any of my files. Is there any way to get it to act as it did before, or should I re-set everything in uTorrent and point all of the settings at the new path? Thanks!

dexter6 posted:Sorry, forgot to mention that I have tried that. I get a finder window opened for the drive upon login, but no disk on the desktop and paths for torrents aren't resolving still. Check your finder preferences, there is a different checkbox for 'show external disks on the desktop' and 'show server mounts on the desktop'. The drive should mount in the same location in UNIXland (i.e. /Volumes/Disk) as it did when you had USB if it is still named the same. Go to your /Volumes directory (using go to folder in the Finder Go menu) and see if your drive is there. If it's got a 1 on the end rebooting is the simplest way to fix that. You should see where utorrent thinks the files are, and find the actual path the files are at, and see what's different about them. Not exactly sure how to get a pathname out of utorrent though.

japtor posted:Tried adding them to login items like in the screenshot above? That might help a bit since it'll just mount them all at login rather than whenever you get around to clicking them. Otherwise are you adding the mounted shares themselves or address links? (not sure it it really makes a difference, but maybe it does once it's mounted) Basically everytime you sleep the Mac they all get dismounted. As far as I've been able to search there is no reliable/easy method to keep permanent Windows share mounts. I just have a bunch of Alias links now which works a bit quicker, I guess.

However, my wife sees a folder icon with a red badge (not a disk) when she logs into her user account and cannot access files. I tried changing the permissions of the mount on my side but it said I did not have access. What now?

Can anyone recommend a good image sorting program? I've been using Adobe Bridge plus finder windows to sort my photo DVDs but figure there's got to be a better way than this. Usually I'm sorting 500-1,500 4-5+ MB photos and putting them into dozens of different folders. Thanks.

Lightroom/Aperture comes to mind. So does photomechanic. It really depends on what you mean by "sorting". Are you trying to index your photos so you don't have to go looking through folders to find what you want?

Usually I'm sorting 500-1,500 4-5+ MB photos and putting them into dozens of different folders. Yeah, programs like Lightroom and Aperture were made for this. Also with both of them you have a "Library" (Adobe calls it a Catalog but it's the same thing). This means the library can contain lots more metadata about your photos than the filesystem can store. You can make smart albums and tag photos and do on the fly searches. I personally prefer Lightroom, but you should download the free trials of both and try them out. Also you should watch these videos Scott Kelby did about "100 ways Adobe Lightroom kicks Adobe Bridge's rear end". http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom
