Do you run Virtual PC? If so, it taps into the firewall to protect itself and prevent your Windows installation from being hacked. Another possiblity is PGP Desktop. It also modifi…

no, the only thing i can think of is that my wireless router security settings are tapping into the firewall, but i still want to use options like "stealth mode"

Check /Library/StartupItems for anything that Flying Buttress may have left behind. If there's a startup item in there, that would explain what you're seeing.

I had this same problem a few months back. The solution that worked for me was to download a fresh copy of flying buttress, immediatly use the uninstall that was downloaded. Viol…

i check the startupitems folder, and i see a folder titled "firewall". is that part of the os, or can i delete that? im not sure whether it is part of FB or not.

yea that seemed to work, i moved the firewall folder out, and restarted. But, is the OS X firewall enough. I have "block UDP traffic" and "enable stealth mode" checked. is that…

honestly, nothing in particular, but I am using zonealarm suite 6 on my pc and i was looking for security up to par with that, unless its not necessary on os x.

ouch, haha alright, ill read up a bit.

These are all good features... things I'd like to do, but of course I don't want to do any of them halfway, so if you don't see 'em in the next release, it's not because I didn't l…

Depends on if you bought it from Apple or a retailer, and if you got the retailer's warranty or applecare.

No, it's definitely not possible.

No, but if Apple replaces it between month 6 and 12 of your warranty, you have the privilege of shelling out a $30 "processing fee" or $59 for AppleCare. Your choice of fees simpl…

Have you tried just dragging your .mov files to iTunes? I dropped one of .mov files on iTunes and it was added to my iTunes video library and played perfectly fine in iTunes so I'd…

I dragged my .mov files into iTunes and they play fine there, but they still need to be converted to an iPod compatible format to go onto the iPod. I go to Advanced>Convert Sel…

Thanks for the tip!

You can try Video to iPod Converter. It can convert mov to mp4. You can download free from here http://www2.dvd-ripper-copy.com/video-to-iPod.html I wish it is useful to you

That program is for PC. I'm on a PowerBook. Anyone have any tips on how to convert .mov files to an iPod compatible format?

The problem is partially that there is no such thing as a generic ".mov file" -- .mov files are in reality a sort of wrapper. The actual video and audio can be in a variety of form…

I've broswed around that forum a bit. I'll prolly look around there deeper for some answers. Thanks for the advice!

Take it to your local Apple Store, if you're nice they may replace/repair as a courtesy even though you're out of warranty.

Just use handbrake. It's by far the easiest way to do what you want. The only problem is that you have to resize the video to the iPod's dimensions (320 x 240) for each episode you…
