Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think I can afford a Time Capsule.
I am having a minor issue with Time Machine backups at the moment because the hard drive I have for that is not reliable through a hub and I have to use one of the USB ports for wired Internet. One of the reasons I need wireless.

One other item to consider is the timing of a wireless router purchase. The next gen standard (might be called 802.11ac, but I don't remember) is supposed to support gigabit traffic on the wireless LAN. It's pretty likely that there will be new Airport Extremes released soon that will support it. I don't know enough about it to know whether it will support those communication rates only if all clients on the wireless LAN have the 802.11 radios (in which case it will be a LONG time before it will benefit most users) or whether the wireless router will be able to converse with 802.11ac clients at that speed and with 802.11b, g, and n clients at their native speeds simultaneously.

Stalling Mac Mail
Posted by: "Hugh Crymble" hcrymble@bmts.com hcrymble
Wed May 2, 2012 8:10 am (PDT)
My Mac Mail has started to stall whenever I click on the Dock icon or try to make it the front window from the Applications folder.
The window won't materialize or if it does, clicking on a mail item has no effect.
It usually goes active in 1 to 2 minutes.
I thought a congested HD was the problem and bought a 1T drive but this had no effect.
I thought Growl was the problem, turned it off and rebooted but no improvement.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?
This has just started in the last few days.
Thanks

Anna,
I have used DVD Hunter and Book Hunter and sync with the iDevice version Hunter Touch for years.
DVD Hunter was more initially for media cataloging, but in it's current can record the information you requested. It has an auto fill capability from data bases like imbd and amazon. Depending on how complete those data bases are it can save you a lot of work in filling in the data.
The Amazon db is particularly set for particular copies of either DVD or VHS showing different covers and UPCs. For example it may show different artwork for regular releases, a different one for a boxed set, and another for a remastered anniversary release. In the Book Hunter, you may find versions of a book from a book auction, noting things like original first edition, signed by the author.
Joel Ares is the developer, although he is listed as Joel Gerbore in iTunes. He also makes one called Game Hunter for electronic game. Hunter Touch includes all 3 DVD, Book and Game Hunter and syncs with all.
Joel's site is http://software.joelares. net
He updates his software regularly and updates the databases his apps can access regularly, also.
I'm sure there are others out there but I have been so happy with Joels, that I haven't looked. Shortly after I got an iPhone the app was available, so I was able to abandon the two Excel spread sheets I maintained and had been syncing to my cellular phones, so I would not buy duplicate movies and books.
One complaint, Joel and most of the data bases seem to use a person's last name first, with no comma. So you would see a listing like this:
Curtis Tony or Wayne John
The iPhone version is hard to navigate only because of the screen size, but is handy when shopping or conversing about a book or movie. And it has a Wish List, so it helps when you are out bargain hunting.
I have 973 movies and 702 books listed, so you can see, I have been using them for a while.

Must say Brent's recommendation is interesting. I've looked at this kind of software for years and the devil is in the details. The big one is are you tracking actually media (files) or making a database of objects like actual DVDs and tapes. The two problems are different, with the first being much harder than the second. Then you get into what databases can it search. Can it interface with a barcode scanner. Can it handle non-commercial materials smoothly. Is it good for every object you want to catalog. And so on.
I use LibraryThing.org on the web for books. I love it for books. It has the huge advantage of being accessible anywhere I have a connection. Downside is there is no app to sync with. LibaryThing can handle DVDs but may not be ideal for that purpose. I have only done some light testing for DVDs. It did find them. It is not really a pure database but more a sharing site, but this is good or bad depending on what you really want.
If get serious about LibraryThing, get the CueCat scanner (details on site) or you're not getting the full benefit. It's not a requirement, just my recommendation. The LibraryThing subscription is $25 (forever), but free for small collections so no need to pay to try. The CueCat is $15 I think. Learning to use the CuCat is just a tiny bit fussy, but it's soooo cool once you get the hang of it. Cheapest barcode scanner in the world and the fact that LibraryThing works with the CueCat makes it unique, and uniquly cheap!
I've also used Librarian Pro. Fine, but didn't hold me. I'd try DVD Hunter first based on Brent's recommendation. They are similar in style.
I use Book Crawler on iPhone. I like it, but it does have some speed and lock-up issues at times.
For a more complicated collection, especially if it includes non-commercial materials and music, take a look at CDFinder. This is intense software for serious collections of media on optical discs. It actually catalogs both the discs and the content.
Cataloging raw video media is much more complicated. If you are interested in that, it's a whole nuther discussion.
Cheers,
tod

Another choice rather than LibraryThing and a CueCat scanner would be
Delicious Library and your built-in camera (or an iSight external).
I've had it for quite some time now and find it very useful and easy
to use. It gathers data and cover images from Library of Congress and
other sources automatically. Delicious Library does cost $55 on
Amazon, but there are no on-going costs and your camera is already
there on most newer Macs.

Howdy.
A good commercial program is called Movie Collector Pro.
It's by a company called Collectorz.
<http://www.collectorz.com/ >
<http://www.collectorz.com/movie/ >
They have programs for book, music, movie, comics, games, and photo
collections for both Macintosh and Windows.
The price is reasonable and they seem to keep their software updated.
Movie Collector Pro can scan barcodes and enter all kinds of data
automatically like cast, crew, director, release date, and much more.
I think there is an iPhone app for it also that lets you scan barcodes
with the iPhone and link to the application on computer.

We're coming up with some interesting applications and some interesting interpretations of the question posed.
DVD Hunter allows the user to manually enter in the information if it is not found in one of the available data bases. Which right now is very helpful for me since I am transferring VHS my father recorded from PBS to DVD. Many are documentaries that are no longer available and if I can find anything on them with web searches, the information is minimal at best.
Tod, by your second category, "making a database of objects like actual DVDs and tapes", do you mean something analogous to a "jukebox", to locate and play the media? Harry's suggestion seems to fall into that category.
As an aside, since I don't play electronic games, I tried using Game Hunter to catalog the software I own. Bad fit, since the fields are labeled incorrectly for my use and it can not search any databases to auto fill the fields. I think Delicious Library is a better fit there and it can scan barcodes with a web cam. I have not tried it for video cataloging, if the OP's wish is only to catalog information about the videos, that might be another option.

I've never tried Delicious Library for videos before, but I just
scanned the bar code on the case of the Manchurian Candidate (the
remake) DVD, and it got the cover art, a detailed synopsis, and the
label, release date, stars, audience rating, languages included,
running time, retail price, and other details, including NTSC region.
I must add that I don't know if it will allow sorting by the stars
(cast!) or other details it finds.
I use it for books, but not videos because I collect books, but have
few videos. I should mention that you don't need to scan the bar code
to get the above info — typing in the ISBN number will produce the
same results.

I retract my suggestion of using Delicious Library 2, even though Michael also suggested it. BTW it is on sale at delicious-monster.com for $35.
My reasoning, the ongoing fight with Amazon to access the data from Amazon, the lack of an iDevice app that can directly sync to the Mac version, and the slow revisions to the software. They are too willing to let others propose obtuse work arounds, rather than resolve the issues. (But then they allow the sale of the app through Amazon?!?!?) I now remember having to use a weird work around to access the data on Amazon.
Delicious has its values, but there are a lot of issues and limitations.

No - You can use Boot Camp Assistant in your Utilities folder to install Windows 7 in a BootCamp Partition.
Bootcamp will allow you to restart your Mac in full Windows mode, as if it were a completely separate computer.
Parallels lets you run Windows in a "virtual machine" without leaving the OS X environment.
There are pros and cons to each method. I use both, depending on the needs of the moment.

No, Boot Camp should be fine. It does require that you reboot your computer into Book Camp. If you bought and installed Parallels or VMWare Fusion and installed Windows 7 into one of them, you would be able to run Windows without rebooting your whole computer.
But if you only need Windows now and then, you can install it into Boot Camp, and reboot your computer into Boot Camp when you need to run Windows.

If you would like to try out running Windows in a virtual machine, there is also a free option, VirtualBox:
