Another one is CardRaider from
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/
I use some of their other programs, so I am hopeful that this app also
works as well.
Free Demo and Buy Now for $19.95
At least it's worth a try. If the demo works for you, then $20 is worth
the investment.... for next time you find you need it.
It's always worth having similar tools in the box that do the same job -
sometimes a different app will do just a bit more or better, or in this
case, recover files the other apps missed for whatever reason....

Thanx for this lead Andrew, but there was nothing usable on the website, at least based on a quick looksee of that site.

PhotoRec (free) is command line (Terminal) but easy to use. I tried it a

deliberately erased an SD card as a test.) Otto
That link also mentions Exif Untrasher as being able to retrieve photo files (but only if they are JPEGs), so I gave it a try as I already had it Otto.
Following the instructions, I could not get EU to work. It consistently prompted Force Quit Applications to issue 'not responding' warnings. The problem may have arisen from the fact that I have several fairly large videos on my Sony's card. I only want to recover a few photos, however.
Next step is to download PhotoRec once I return to McDonald's (for its WiFi). I have never used Terminal to set up anything, so I am a bit leery of it Otto.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about importing photos into a camera, though I would think you could drag photos onto the mounted card?
Oops, I just tried that with my Canon camera. I removed the card and mounted it on my Desktop. A photo dragged over to the card (in the correct folder on the card) just fine, but when I tried to view it in the camera itself, the camera didn't recognize its presence. The camera makes .jpeg files and I dragged a jpeg onto the camera. Has anyone else made this work? Daly
I might, however, consider dropping a triple sawbuck for PhotoRescue. Depends on how things go with PhotoRec. Good recommend Daly. Thanx.
As for importing photos to cameras, I seem to recall that a few Sonies back I had done just that, the difference being that the camera would (I think) actually show the imported photos. Now, my Sony acknowledges (via its photo counter) that a picture file has been imported, however it will not show that particular picture. Its message, when I try to access the imported photo, is "Cannot display file".
When I reconnect my USB camera cable to my laptop, the picture shows in my Sony's picture folder, which I always open in Finder.
I have another camera-related issue. Harkening back to previous Sonies, I used to be able to move pictures from the Sony folders to my computers Trash. That would clear the card to zero. In other words, the camera card would fully empty.
Now, moving files to my laptop's Trash only removes card access to the picture files. It does not actually clear my camera card.
To clear my camera card, I have to either use the camera to delete the photos from the card, which frees up the space occupied by the photos, or I have to use Disk Utility to empty my camera card. The latter is my choice of deletion.
Can someone explain why using Trash for photo files no longer frees up space?
Thanx for the help thus far. Oneal

I've always used Handbrake to convert DVDs to mp4. I use Mac the Ripper to copy a DVD. (just for my own back up) Handbrake runs fine for me on Snow Leopard but for some reason it won't rip the first chapter of a disc. I have to set the chapters to rip 2 thru 25.

The really expensive way out of this is to buy Toast, by Roxio. I have it, an old version, and it burns DVDs from .h264 files or any type of video file, .avi…etc.

Most of the time you can simply change the extension from MV4 to MP4. MV4 is simply Apple's name for it's device specific version of MP4. In other words, MV4 is a subset of MP4 and totally compatible.

Projecting from the iPhone and iPad

Question: I live in a retirement community (about 300 people in about 200 apartments.)
We give Mac demos and lessons to try to increase appreciation of the Mac platform. For this, we use a standard digital projector which works very well.
We also have a series on the iPhone and iPad. Is there a way to connect the iPhone or iPad to the projector for such classes? It would be much more convenient to project the iPhone and iPad screen. More people could appreciate our demos.
Many thanks!

The iPad 2 can connect via VGA on to a projector and you can use screen mirroring. I think it can connect via Airplay as well using the Apple TV 2. The iPad first generation only shows Keynote on a projector or applications that support mirroring through the interface. Airplay mirroring is not supported on the iPad 1.
I am getting a little jittery, because I own the first generation iPad so I'm looking for someone to confirm what I am saying. Sorry if I am wrong here. Was just trying to provide my two pieces.

If you can stand being limited to 10.4, I would have recommended the G5 Quad. The fastest G5 made and the end of the line. But since you don't like (I also replaced a PS in one of these), then move to Intel machines. As far as I know, little has changed in the towers since the move to Intel, but you might skip the first year just on general principal, and make sure you don't get stuck with 10.4. If you can get a G5 cheap though, find a second dead one for parts. Just make sure it has a good PS.
As for MBP, I love the 15" 2008 (early or late). Last version to have the "old" port config, which I prefer. DVI out, FW400, USB ports on both sides... expresscard slot not so useful anymore, but made it makes it popular among pros with older card readers. Also has the multi-touch pad WITH button! I hate the integrated button, even though I use tapping 95% of the time. And DYI upgrades easier. Unfortunately, it is popular with others too, and the price has stayed high. Last I checked, a "refurb" quality late-2008 was still $900.
And finally, get the "MacTracker" application to give you spec and performance details on ever possible config. Never buy anything used without checking MacTracker.
Cheers,
tod

G5 Quad?? I had a PowerMac G5, top of the line available at the time, but it was not a quad.

Personally, I prefer to "rebuild" from scratch. It's a good opportunity to rethink all those "ruts" you did not even know you were in and you'll get better performance from fresh installs. It's amazing how much customizing you have done that you don't remember.

Thanks very much Tim...and everyone else for your help. I should have simply gone down to Future Shop and bought a boxed copy of Windows 7 Home Premium instead of purchasing online. Had I bought the physical disk I probably would have gone with your suggestion, but instead opted for the Win 7 installation using Parallels Desktop.
The installation was very easy and am very pleased with the results. I will however burn my ISO to a disc (although I am not sure how to do that yet) which will hopefully open up an opportunity to use Win 7 on it's own partition on my SSD. I think I might prefer that even better.
Thanks again...
Nick

Nick;
Disk Utility can burn the ISO to a DVD. Start here:

or open Disk Utility from Applications > Utilities and search in Help.

Thanks Tim... Boy, am I glad I switched to Mac earlier this year. Now that I've played with both Windows/Mac latest iterations, Mac is by far the best I've ever seen. There really is no comparison.

Internet Security Threat for Those Using Win 7 and Parallels Desktop
Posted by: "Nick Andriash" Nickster248@telus.net andriash2005
Wed Dec 7, 2011 1:01 pm (PST)
Now that I have Win 7 Home Premium and Parallels Desktop running alongside Lion, a whole new problem has arose that I admit I never thought about until now. I use Intego's Internet Security Barrier on my 2011 MacBook Pro, but now that I also have Win 7, I have left myself open to the more prevalent threat Windows 7 poses.
For those of you who are running both Win 7 and Lion, how are you protecting yourself from Internet threats. I see that Intego offers Internet Security Barrier dual protection, but I've just purchased Intego's Internet Security Barrier for my Mac last month, and I do not really want to fork out another $140 for 2 years of dual protection... but I might have to.
What are other Users doing in terms of threat protection when running Win 7 and Lion together?

For VMs and Bootcamp I use Microsoft Security Essentials - MSE - is free, effective, and relatively non-intrusive.

Happy to help, Nick. I'm very new to Mac myself and still use Windows when I have to - usually for work. For personal use - photography, flying, mapping - it's all Mac and I'm not intending to go back.

Windows running on a Macintosh is theoretically just as susceptible
to malware as a Windows PC.
But there is one big difference in using Windows in virtualization on
a Mac and using it on an actual PC, and that is that you have your
Mac partition to work with.
Most folks that I know of who are running Windows on their Mac are
doing so just to run one or two mission critical applications. They
don't use it for anything else.
Most of the nasties that a PC can get come either via e-mail or the
Web. If you don't use Windows to access the Internet, or for e-mail
(and there is no need to, since there is excellent Macintosh software
with which you can do that), you have cut off by far the biggest
vectors for Windows infection.
Now, if you are also careful about
what you install on your Windows partition from other external sources
(i.e. don't share programs or files with non-protected Windows PC's
via flash
drive), you can completely avoid any Windows malware.
So anti-virus software for Windows running on a Mac in most cases is
probably completely unnecessary.
