I right-clicked and it downloaded right away. Just short of 10 MB. I put it in my Dropbox public folder:

I "right-clicked" on the HTML5 video, and it downloaded.
It's a 10.9 MB .mp4 file, and it plays on my machine.
Would you like me to send it to you by private email?

Re: Sticky track bar button workaround?

Daly,

Essentially, yes. It works correctly, part of the time, sometimes it ignores me, and yet others it acts as though it is being pushed repeatedly. I can sometimes move to the other side of the bar, and it works correctly; other times not. Probably some dirt under the bar that I can probably correct when I have the time. Not too soon though.

Go into:

Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse --> Trackpad --
> Trackpad Gestures --> check the box that say Clicking

That will enable you to tap the trackpad when you want to do a mouse-
click and double-tap the trackpad to double-click.

You might also want to play with the settings, in the same place, for
Dragging and Drag-Lock to see if you like them. (Personally, I like
to be able to click with my trackpad, but I don't like using my
trackpad to click-drag. However, you may not have a choice.)

1) Are you using iTunes (Universal) v. 10.6.1?

2) Any difference from the settings here, especially the permissions? As you can see, I have two "everyone" and I can't get rid of them.

I guess you are not on Lion yet. Maybe that could explain the difference.

Yes, latest iTunes. I don't see how permissions would cause this difference
but my iTunes has
system Read & Write
admin Read & Write
everyone Read only

No, 10.5.8, the latest my PowerBook will run.

Perhaps someone running 10.7 can try this? Have you checked Apple
Discussions?

That's what I was originally hoping too; but now I am convinced the people here on this list are simply too lazy to be of any help when it comes to solving advanced problems. Or they are all preoccupied with their motorcycles ...

In the meantime I found the official confirmation here, so to say:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3021895?start=0&tstart=0

It is a known bug which has not been fixed in Lion.

"Here is the latest update on that problem: We were recreating the same behavior on several Macbook Pro's and a Macbook Air at the Apple Store Bridgeport Village running Lion yesterday, with the sales staff acknowledging the problem:
audio files will play from the specified start time to the specified stop time
video files will play from the specified start time past the specified stop time all the way until the end.
It is a know bug and has not been fixed in Lion."

Re: iPad 2 not connecting to wireless network

Posted by: "Jeff" jbturof@yahoo.com   jbturof

Thu Jun 7, 2012 5:20 am (PDT)



Okay, went into settings, wi-fi, clicked on the > next to the network and there is no 'Forget this network'. Tried it the Network selection too and it's still not there. My guess of why is because I'm not connected to anything in the first place----the network shows up as available but will not let me connect. Like I said, I've changed the password twice now in the Router setup screen thinking maybe it just wasn't taking (I'm getting desperate, what can I say...).
Tried restarting the router again last night too. Still no go.

Anyone?

Thanks.
Jeff

Hey, try this... Temporarily remove your password and see if you connect.

Terminal vs. AppleScript vs. Automator??

Posted by: "LouisD" lou@loudina.com   ldina

Thu Jun 7, 2012 5:44 am (PDT)



I'm beginning to dabble with Terminal, AppleScript and Automator to deepen my understanding of my Mac, OSX (10.6.8), how files and folders are organized, etc. As a complete newbie to these apps, I am a bit confused when and why you would use one over the other? At first glance, it seems to me Terminal and ApplsScript do basically the same thing, just with a different languages, and that Automator is an even simpler interface (and perhaps less powerful/flexible) that avoids the need for knowledge of command line and syntax.

I'm hoping someone can provide a simple high-level overview to help me get my feet on the ground. Do they do completely different things? Can someone give me a few examples of where each app might be best used?

I hope my question isn't too vague or impossible to answer. I'm looking for the quick, simple, non-techie overview at this stage.

Thanks, Lou
