    A past episode of the animated comedy series “King of the Hill” had Hank Hill and his neighbors making a film to promote their town of Arlen. After doling out crew jobs, Hank, voiced by Mike Judge, says, “And I… will be THE PRESIDENT of the Movie!”

    A Playlist is just a list of pointers to songs in the Library. You can delete an item from a playlist but you have to delete the item from the main “Library” to have the file removed.
    In “Library” select the item you don’t want, hit Delete key or “Delete” from Edit menu. You will be asked if you want to only
    clear the item from the Library list or also delete the song file. This assumes your prefereences has iTunes gathering up and organizing your tunes into the iTunes Music folder.

    Nope.

    Even simpler:
    Mac finder Menu bar>Help (launches Mac Help)
    Or in Finder, Command-?
    In Mac Help window, Type Screen Shot in entry box.
    Eight options pop up.
    Mac HELP is your friend, don’t need no Google.

    Have you done a Permissions Repair recently or ever? (Disk Utility>select volume, Repair Disk Permissions).

    In the Get Info window, after selecting a new Default app using the pulldown and clicking the Change All button, have you tried either logging out and back in, or restarting?

    I have a Pioneer DVR-111D running happily in a G4 MDD, OS X 10.4.8. Got it from OWC (www.macsales.com), who provide hardware installation instructions for most recent Mac models.

    I had to do some pans/zooms of scans of old woodcuts that had lots of fine line detail, so you can imagine how shimmery those were on all displays. Motion blur in FCP for some reason didn’t help too much. After making a safety copy of the original images, I opened them in Photoshop, and applied a very slight Gaussian Blur. This did the trick in every instance and the pictures looked fine.

    Launch the Image Capture app on your Mac. Set its Preference for “When camera is connected open…” to Image Capture (default is to use iPhoto, IIRC). Connect your camera to the computer with its USB cable, then turn it on in its view or review mode. If you set it up this way, in the future Image Capture will launch automatically when you plug in and switch on your camera.
    Image Capture will launch and show a dialog box. Click the “Download Some” button to open a window with camera’s contents, which you can view as thumbnails or a list. A slider in the window header allows adjustment of the thumbnail size, the largest should be useful for quick check of content. If you need full size views, select pictures in the Image Capture window and “Download Some” to an existing or new folder. Set Image Capture “Automatic Task” pulldown in window header to open Preview app on download, where you can scroll through them. While this does involve a “transfer’ to your computer, you can easily just trash the whole folder or just the bad shots.
