nfsfan Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 another problem.i have a dsl connection which i have configured in the os manually.now the connection works fine,but if i restart my connection while the connection is still on,after reboot,os x fails to recognise it.i have to plug my dsl router d-link 502t off and then power it on again for getting the conection back.

babgolis Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I was having similar problems with vlc. Apparently they fixed it with the new release... With Quicktime I use perian http://perian.org/ & A52Codec http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21875 . Those puppies'll handle most anything you throw at them. For more info videohelp.com http://forum.videohelp.com/viewforum.php?f...1e1b3f9d6efab15 has a great mac section. Grab is a screenshot utility included in osx. It's in /applications/utilities/. It has a very helpful help file you can access by opening it. Take a picture of the whole screen ⌘-Shift-3 Take a picture of part of the screen ⌘-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture. To cancel, press Escape. Take a picture of a window, a menu, the menu bar, or the Dock. Press ⌘-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. To drag to select the area instead, press the Space bar again. To cancel, press Escape. Don't know about your other problems. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecker Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Use Command (⌘) + F, to enter fullscreen. You can always look up these shortcuts from within the application's menu. hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babgolis Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 The windows button is what you need. Full screen is not available on quicktime unless you pay for pro. There are some players that are based on quicktime that will allow fullscreen. NicePlayer http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15136...sContainer_link might do the trick. You do need to install the proper codecs. Tested NicePlayer works fine. No mkv & ogg suppport if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
