do shell script "osascript -e 'version of application "Application"'"
Something to this affect should work. You need to tweak the quotation marks obviously. Replace "Application" with the app you want to find the version.

So I have a bunch of movies in avi form that I have converted to watch on my ipad and that works great.
What settings should I use if I want to watch on DVD instead?
What if I want to connect my ipod or ipad to my TV and watch that way?
Once I convert the files using handbrake I then use popcorn to make my DVD.
I have know idea about this stuff and apologize in advance for sounding like an ass.
Thanks for your help.

Hey - I downloaded one client 6.24.1, installed it and tried to open it via the application icon in the applications folder but it said it wouldn't work on my machine. I don't really want to go the terminal route. BUT, I went to system preferences and looked in the Other section and there was a Folding icon so I entered a user name and the MR team number and clicked the button. So, is it working? How do I tell? the terminal route isn't that hard. it may look daunting, but i think it runs better and is less intrusive. i can walk you through it

I have a 4 year old white Macbook with 2 Gb of ram running Snow Leopard that I just did the most recent automatic software update from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7 along with other updates for iTune and my printer, etc.
It reached the point where it says "Registering updated components..." and it got stuck - no more progress bar movement for 20 minutes. I powered off the machine holding down the on/off button. It rebooted ok and the applications work fine, but when i shut in down it got stuck again. Again I had to power it off by holding down the on/off button. It started up fine afterwards.
Something obviously is no longer right, but I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions? (Yes I have a current backup of all files before the software update)

Like the topic... i want to put windows on my comp for a few applications and games on windows... im just afraid if i do so... i might get a virus or 2 and somehow affect my comp... im a newbie so im just looking for the advice to set me straight!
thank you all for your input!
A Windows virus can't run on Mac OS X and can't affect your Mac partition, unless you go through several deliberate steps to make that possible (which you're not likely to do). As recommended, use a good anti-virus for Windows and don't worry about Mac OS X. There has never been a virus in the wild that affects Mac OS X since it was released 10 years ago. The handful of trojans that exist can be easily avoided with some education and common sense and care in what software you install:

Yes that isn't normal, but if it still charges maybe it's okay. If it doesn't charge then bring it back to the apple store.
Even if it charges, the data connector should have 30 pins, don't want it to corrupt data.

Ask one of your friends if you can borrow their snow leopard disc. Otherwise, just wait until Lion this summer. I have the beta, and it's a pretty nice upgrade.

Hey guys:
I've gone through two 13" mbas (1.86/4gb, ultimate) and both have had inversion or pixel walk screen issues. Any time i scroll through webpages pixels will shift very subtely - for instance in macrumors archive those fine lines that box in posts will blur when actively scrolling up/down.
I can't find any definitive posts on what causes this aside from voltage issues w/lcd. The folks at genius bar were not helpful.
This site: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/inversion.php has some examples. Another thread on the issue https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2675037?threadID=2675037&tstart=43
Does anyone know if this is an issue with all the 13'' mbas? It's a small issue but really bothers me, especially since I scroll and read through tons of text and the flickering becomes pretty apparent.
Any advice on solutions or general thoughts on what the issue is exactly would be appreciated.
At this point I'm going to try a third 13'' ultimate and see if I get the same problem.

Hi, guys - I'm just wondering whether I am making too big a deal of this. I have previously had reasonably good experiences with the folks at Other World Computing (www.macsales.com). Last summer, I bought one of their high-capacity (62 Watt-hour) Macbook pro replacement batteries to replace the dying battery on my wife's laptop. A couple of months ago, the aluminum faceplate fell off exposing the cells inside. For a few weeks, she simply used scotch tape to hold the faceplate on, but I figured that since I paid good money for it, I should take advantage of the warranty. What they sent back was a 58 Watt-hour battery. When I asked about this, they said there were some production issues with the 62 Watt-hour batteries and that they only carry 58 Watt-hour batteries now. When I suggested to the CSR that I was getting back less battery than I had initially paid for (the warranty's fine print says "When a direct replacement for the exact model number or part number is not available, OWC reserves the right to replace with an equivalent or higher graded item.") she said that the new battery is "better quality". I asked if I could have the previous battery back and just glue the faceplate back on, but I was told that the returned battery was disposed of. I'm annoyed that I had to pay for the return shipping on the defective battery and ended up with a lower-capacity battery. Do you think this is an acceptable exchange or should I just ask for a refund?

Some old systems like the NES had a composite cable right on the console itself. You'll have to get one of those odd looking RF-out leads to Scart and god knows how hard they are to find now. Since I got my Wii (Virtual Console) I've boxed up my Mega Drive. FWIW my Bravia and Samsung TV's dont run classic consoles too well. 16bit and under tend to have distorted images.
So good luck on your quest :D.

Hi,
Thanks for the input so far!
My MB is the upper-end model with the SuperDrive. I upgraded to 10.5 + iLife 08 on it although the restore discs are 10.4/06. Chipset is the one right before SR -- 3GB max RAM, which is why I stopped at 3GB.

If the 7457 is on schedule, my guess is they will migrate the PM lineup to the 7457 early 2003 and follow up with the other models as soon as Motorola can produce enough of them.
Assuming Apple adopts the 970 from IBM, the PM should migrate to the 970 late 2003 - early and the remainder of the iMac/eMac/portables will stay 7457.
I'm assuming that IBM is not going to be able to shrink the power budget on the 970 much. As a result, I don't see how it would make sense to put a 1.2GHz 970 in the PB in place of a 1.8GHz 7457.

I'm on the market for a desktop... but i'm stuck between the 20" imac g5 and a (single) 1.8ghz powermac g5 with a 20" monitor. I'll be using it for design work, mainlt photoshoping and 3d work. Also mutimedia, listening to song watching movies etc. I like the all-in-one factor of the imac but i want to be able to upgrade certain componants which the imac doesn't offer. Is it at all possible for the Vcard on the imac to be upgraded? Because this is one of my major gripes on the machine, all else i can live with.
Thanks alot for taking time to read this. Your advice is more than welcome.
