I made the mistake of attaching a 120MB file to an outgoing email using my gmail account in Mail. Of course, it popped up a message telling me the max file size was 34MB. Ok, silly me.

But that wasn't the end of it. For the last three days, Mail has run with a spinning ball on gmail in it's attempt to send that message. No other messages could be sent or received thru the gmail account. And the network showed 225kb data sent continuously.

I couldn't delete the message either. The message was not located in drafts or sent items. Spotlight couldn't find it either. Not even with all hidden files shown.

Meanwhile, it placed that email in a new folder called Recovered Messages no less than 40-50 times a day. Hadn't had time to mess with it until tonight.

After a search through the Mail folder, found the key location.
Delete everything in the following folder:

I recorded a video of my desktop while I was making a tutorial and now I want to edit it with iMovie. I just need a specific panel, but with iMovie's Crop i can not select the area that i want since a part always remains out. How do I select an area from where I decide to start to where I decide to finish?
Thank you. ]]> OS X - Applications and Games Swayzak http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177364 http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177362&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:45:09 GMT Hello everybody,

This morning, my sister messaged me over Skype and asked me for help regarding a cracked DVD of hers that she bought from Japan. It is some limited edition DVD that she bought, so she'd really like to recover the contents of the DVD and then duplicate it on a blank DVD.

The DVD has a crack in the middle near the plastic ring, about half a centimeter in length, and she is really nervous about running it in a drive, because I told her about the possibilities of it cracking further, and then being stuck in the drive. The only computer capable of burning a DVD in the house is my iMac, but I am currently not in the country to figure out how to do it. I tried to create a new disk image and then burning it from Disk Utility, but there seems to be some kind of copyright protection on the DVD, and I think it said something about me not having the permission to do what I was doing. I couldn't create a disk image, and now we are stuck.

Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way to safely extract the contents of the DVD (hopefully with the menus and everything) and then burning it onto another DVD. Also, it has to bypass the copyright stuff, if possible. I don't suppose this topic is off limits, since my sister did buy it herself, right? ]]> OS X - Applications and Games PsYkOoOoO http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177362 http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177352&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:59:57 GMT Hi all
My other half recently bought a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 for her new business. I was running the Time Machine backup when she started Entourage halfway through.
Once the backup had finished I launched Entourage and all emails and the user account details had 'disappeared'.
I did some research online and identified the database location. There is a 22mb file in the 'Main Identity' folder. I have run the Microsoft Database utility and it says the database is fine.
However, whatever I do (creating new identities, renaming identities, etc) I can't get Entourage to 'connect' to the database although the emails are in there (I found the vrge08 files).
Please help as all her business emails are in there and she needs them back.
Thanks

I've been looking for a video organizer for my video files.
Something like iTunes, but one that works with video files (.avi .mp4 .mkv)

Any suggestions? ]]> OS X - Applications and Games PrimalYeti http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177320 http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177224&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:53:50 GMT I have been hunting around for weeks, and I am unable to find a suitable Remote Desktop Manager.

I am trying to get away from Windows altogether, and until I can find a suitable application that will fit my needs, I'm stuck. I really want to wipe my bootcamp partition.

The one I currently use with windows is VisionApp vRD, and it works perfectly in Windows, but they just don't offer anything for the Mac OS.

Basically what I am looking for is an application that when I open it up will have a pane of some sort that will allow me to save RDP connections in a directory tree type of format.

So that when I need to log into say one of my Domain Controllers all I have to do is expand the Domain Controllers folder and click on the domain controller that I need to log into. It would then in turn launch a remote desktop connection in a tabbed window. By doing it in a tabbed window it allows you to be able to control more than one RDP session at a time, just by going back and forth between tabs.

Does anyone know if anything like this or similar exists for the mac? ]]> OS X - Applications and Games fyrhazzrd http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177224 http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177176&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:07:48 GMT Lately all the movies i get say " use windows media player" i dont get this since i have the latest vlc version.... what should i do?

We just rec'd our iMac the other day and I find that I am unable to watch dvd's (purchased ones) without it skipping/lagging and then just freezing. With the DVD Player App, it gave me Error 69902. I also have downloaded and tried the VLC and that too was unsuccessful.

I was watching this specific dvd on our PC without any problems. Does anyone have any insight to this? Is it the streaming level or something? I spend a LOT of time infront of my computer and love to watch something while I work so this now silent environment is makin' me nuts!

Please help!
