Howdy.
No built in .rar decompressor in Mac OS X.
There are many free ones available.
Try Stuffit Expander. It's the free component of Stuffit Deluxe.
Stuffit Expander can decompress about 25 different types of compressed
files. It can be downloaded separately from Stuffit Deluxe.
I find that not any single decompression can handle all forms of
compressed files so keep several on hand.
Try also a recent very good decompressor called The Unarchiver. It's
pretty good and dead easy to use. Just double-click.
UnRarX is also a free decompressor application.

Not aware of anything built in, but I use Stuffit Deluxe and it does just about any archive that I've come across.

Thank you. That's what I used and somehow it got corrupt and I didn't know what the name of it was. I was trying all different apps but wanted to just have to double click like I was used to.
Thanks again.

Cropping videos
Posted by: "Jurgen Richter" yahoo-1@sympatico.ca epsongroups
Tue Jun 5, 2012 6:52 am (PDT)
I shot a video with my iphone in portrait mode. Now I would like to trim
off a lot of the top and some off the bottom to reduce size and bring it
back to landscape proportions. I got it off the phone onto my desktop
for further processing - I tried to import the event into iMovie, but
for some reason it failed. It's about 5 gigs and took nearly 2 hours on
a Mac Pro tower, with no result... admittedly I don't know my way around
iMovie, but I did create a new project first and then import the event.
It just did not show up. Is there a simple app that will let me trim the
physical dimensions? I know there are plenty of converters between
formats, but I don't want to change format, just proportionate size.
TIA

The resistance to new things is indeed universal. IT has nothing to
do with "getting old," other than that older people on this list
recall how and why Apple was born -- possibly decades before other
members on this list were born.
If, as with some members, you were there for the birth of Apple, its
long, steady slide into fortressing is noticeable and disturbing.
If, as with some members, you bought your first Apple product after
the introduction of OSX, your view of history is truncated, so your
views could be skewed.

My first programming course was Fortran IV in 1967.
My first personal computer was TRS-80 Model III in 1979 or so.
My first "Mac" was a hardware/software emulation of a Quadra running on my Amiga computer around 1992 (OS 6.7).
My first actual Mac was a Powerbook in 1998.
The "long, steady slide into fortressing" is an opinion, not an observable fact.

And this is exactly where Apple is failing their users. Give the users, also know as customers since they buy the stuff, the choice.
If a group of customers, like say graphic artists, ask for a feature or change, don't assume all of the customers want it. Make it a customer choice, with a setting or preference.
Let's take a wild guess, let's guess that if you took all the graphic artists and include all the users that do video work, would that be more or less than 20% of all users? I would think think below 20%. Now lets add in professional and amateur photographers, were probably close to plus or minus 30%.
So the remaining majority of users, whatever the percentage is, has to suffer the grey, hard to view design. Make the choice a user setting!
My eyes are getting old and I need contrast more than size to read and recognize things. My prescription is than 1.75 magnification for reading only. I don't need Universal Access to help to read the display.
I want the choice, WITHOUT A HACK OR TWEAK, to bring back the colors to the graphics so I can navigate faster. I want the choice to deep-six the cartoon-leather look and bring back the previous look to Address Book and iCal.
One size does not fit all. It means it fits 99% badly. They can't please all of the people, but they could please more of the people, if they would give them a choice.

Some more observations about this.
In OS X, previous to Lion, anyone who was distracted by the sidebar
and toolbar icons in Finder windows could simply click on the
"capsule" (the oblong clear button in the upper right of every open
window in the Finder. This would instantly cause the sidebar and
toolbar to disappear.
Apple eliminated the capsule in Lion. My guess is that since the
sidebar and toolbar icons are now persistent, they wanted to make
them less distracting.

I agree with Jim about 60% of the time and this is one of them. I guess our views are skewed differently the rest of the time.
My first programming course was Fortran in 1972,
on a IBM 360/80 with punch cards and ARPANET, not bad for a community college.
My first personal computer was Timex-Sinclaire, with an additional 8KB of RAM.
My first Mac was a one of the Mac Classics.
I absolutely agree that the slide is only an opinion.
I love it when someone posts with no quote or reference back to what they are replying to and then saying "your view of history is truncated, so your views could be skewed."

Very funny Forrest, I was responding to Randy's reply to someone else's complaint.
I'm pretty happy with Apple, but would like some changes, and so I submit carefully worded, unemotional comments to Apple Feedback, with suggestions of what and why I would like to see the change.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ macosx.html
And I try to see both sides, but you forgot to include the other side when you omitted any of what I had quoted and was responding to. If you noticed I explained why I don't like the grey on grey icons, common older vision, and I acknowledged that graphic users might find the grey on grey easier for their uses of OS X.
In fact, I supplied ways for Daly to accomplish what she was complaining about being missing from the current OS X, all with existing settings and no tweaks or hacks. Randy was suggesting tweaks or third party software, if you had followed the thread.
Don't get me wrong, Randy is a well known and respected Mac authority. It doesn't mean he has the only way to resolve an issue. I like the simple solutions, like built in settings. That way more people can have the OS they want and find works well with their work flow.
By using the principle of KISS, Keep It Simple, Sam, there are fewer things to break, especially when it is built into the OS.

Not specific to Mail, but in general the tilde means your home
folder. For example, let's take the library folder in your own
account. You could write it as /users/[your user name]/library, or as
~/library.

Thanks Otto for this information. But what about the *Stop Time* for music videos and movies? Does that work for you?

I was also wondering what the difference is between a "music video" and a "movie" in iTunes. Obviously there is no difference, or to be more precise, it�s the user who decides which is what. If we download music from YouTube with MacTubes (it's free, extremely fast and can automatically download files as mp4 for iTunes; <http://www.macupdate.com/app/ >) and then import the files into iTunes they will be classified as "movies":mac/28608/ mactubes

What happens when you try it? I can see it's not greyed out.
I suspect that there's no real difference between Music Videos and
Films/Movies; it's just a way of dividing up a library in the way the user
would expect.

Thanks Brent. This does not cause me a problem either; I just thought my system had got screwed up or something. :-) If you have it too then everything is fine and I don�t have to bother about that anymore.
Actually, as far as the bug is concerned, my primary concern is not being able to set the *Stop Time* for music videos and movies. That is indeed weird since we can set the *Start* Time for music videos and movies. I downloaded 30 music videos from a concert last weekend, and each video ends with a long lasting applause. I would like to automatically jump to the next song when the applause begins.
Could you please be so kind and check the *Stop Time* for music videos and movies for me?
Thanks,

You should have played them because that�s what it is all about.

It will play *without* stopping which makes me assume it�s a bug.
You can easily test it. Download something from YouTube; import it into iTunes and enter Stop Time (for example 0:15 which means it should stop after 15 seconds). Then play it and see if it stops.

Just download something from YouTub. Everything from YouTube counts as "movie" or "music video" after it has been imported into iTunes.
As I said in my previous post, I recommend using MacTubes (free, extremely fast and afterwards no need to convert the file; just import/drag it directly into iTunes). I�m impressed by the speed. A songs that normally takes 3 minutes to listen to will be downloaded in 3 seconds!!!
