This is mainly intended for the biggest Mac fan [I think] here on this forum.. Kvitne, but is not limited to this specific Mac owner. I have a bunch of files that I'm taking with me on a couple of DVDs, and I want to know if there are going to be any issues taking them off [they're in folders] and putting them on my Laptop so that I can access them. I know that there are files that won't be compatible like Fl Studio, Reason, or maybe an emulator or two, which I can easily find from the list I made to redo them, but are there any programs that I may need to be able to use my same files with ease? Most of them are albums, videos, or other types of media, but as I said, I'm mainly asking if folders created on a PC will cause any issues during transfer.

P.S. - If I don't already have it, is Snow Leapord worth spending the extra money for?

[Kvitne]

1. Snow Leopard is worth the $30. Get it.

2. You don't need any programs to access the folders, you wont have any issues with that.

3. Music you can play with iTunes, for videos I recommend VLC player, which you can find with a simple Google search.

That should answer your questions.

[nick_phizz]

And as for software, most things are compatible for both, unless I'm given an option to download for PC or Mac, correct?

[Kvitne]

Most programs have either a Mac or PC version that you get. There doesn't tend to be one version of a given program that just works on both Macs and PCs, unless it's a Java application or something.

[nick_phizz]

Crap... well thanks for the help. Soon I might even be all Mac-fan like you!

[???????]

Lies. Based on what you said over the phone yesterday, you already are one.

By the way, you ever look into Wine?

[nick_phizz]

When I get the computer, then I'll look into it. And I can't be a Mac fan if I don't know anything about the system yet... phul.

& ...which apparently won't be till Thursday.

I've got to admit.. it is nicer..

[Kvitne]

I love it when people finally see the light.

[nick_phizz]

Who really knows though... I could just be claiming to have one...

How the hell do you take screenshot on this thing?

[Kvitne]

Shift+command+3, or you could use a nifty application called Grab that's already on your computer. You can take shots of the whole screen or only a selection, or a timed shot of your screen. Far more functional than print screen on a PC.

You sound like a cultist when you talk like that.

It may not have a timed shot function, but Print Screen could already do the two of those functions. Well, one and a half, to be exact. As far as I know, it can't take pictures of any part of the screen that it wants to, but it can focus on a particular window. In most cases, I don't see why anyone would want to do more than that, though.

Can Grab take pictures of more than one window at a time?

Eat it, fatty.

[Kvitne]

Okay, sure, good point. And who had it first?

That's what I fucking thought.

And yeah Marx, it can grab as much or any part of the screen as you want. You actually draw a box on the screen and it takes a screenshot of what's in that box.

[???????]

I figured that, but what I wanted to know is if it was possible to have more than one box drawn out at the same time.

[nick_phizz]

Awesome. A mac fight where I can choose sides!!!

You draw one box encompassing both windows...

Wouldn't that just be two separate pictures?

[???????]

Yes. I was thinking that it'd be a bit more convenient to take multiple pictures at a time rather than one at a time.

Now that I think about it, it'd be kinda nice if the user was able to take a big picture of whatever was on their screen, except choose not to allow certain things to appear within it.

[NiGHTS Noob]

Like take a picture in layers, and then you can turn off the layer to something so it shows what's behind it?
