How to achieve Apple’s Dock magnification?

Emily0415 — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:59:01 GMT

I’m a mac addict and I’m preparing a presentation for one of my classes. I have all the content ready and I have some extra time so I am thinking of doing a menu similar to OS X’s dock magnification. I downloaded a file and found this out there, but don’t know what it means:

Any suggestions?

Is there a Mac version of MS publisher?

MacMurray — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:43:49 GMT

Is there a Mac version of MS publisher? I need to send an email newsletter via Publisher.

Can I create an html or pdf in another programme and then import into publisher?

Would appreciate any help

Lost slides in my PPT presentation

Cre8nWrite — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 01:11:40 GMT

I work on a MAC and spend all day creating a PPT presentation for a client. PPT closed unexpectedly and when I opened it, the last four of my 12 slides were not there and none of the changes from the last four hours were there. Any idea how I might retrieve the lost slides and the work I did on the presentation? (I did save all day and PPT autosaved all day.)

Mac-compatible banner management software?

John Sunier — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 22:19:44 GMT

I am so pleased to discover DaniWeb Forum! I have an urgent situation with my banner-supported web site. My webmaster installed a new version of OpenX some time ago (not the latest version). I have had nothing but trouble since then and now cannot even see banners I put up and banners I delete take a day or longer to disappear from the site! (I delete the browser cache continually.) He blames me for "user error." I have received conflicting opinions about whether OpenX is compatible with Macs or not but I know this version of OpenX doesn't work for me.

I have to find a banner ap that works by this Monday when I must change several banners or I will lose advertisers! I need something simpler than OpenX - all I need to do is place two sizes of static GIF banners and once a month get reports on banner views and CTRs to send advertisers. I'm not able to access the html of my pages anymore since my webmaster set up a CMS for uploading articles to my publication site. I'm willing to pay someone to install and get the banner software working properly - my webmaster no longer wants to support it. Any suggestions welcome! (I hope this was the correct topic area...)

Horizontal Imovie clip

tony_lurie — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:09:56 GMT

I am new to editing on Imovie and want to rotate one of the clips which was 'creatively' taken with the camera sideways from floor level and focussed upwards to get the performers body in the frame completely .. now I have a sideways Elvis .... not good if I want to show to anybody !
Any suggestions would be mightily appreciated.

People, is this for real? I honestly think that it isn’t as useful as I thought it would be, does anyone have real information on this? I wish it could just read your mind.

Help with Divx!

Tony0930 — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 03:09:36 GMT

I just uploaded my first video to my Macbook Pro and it was saved as VIDEO001.divx. I haven’t found a way of burning it on a CD because Toast just tells me that some error arises. What should I do in this case? I have a Sony camera.

DiskImageMounter for Mac

stalkingmoon — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:43:12 GMT

I am trying to download the trial version of Photoshop Elements 6 from the Adobe website onto my iMac. However, it keeps failing because I don't have the diskimagemounter.app.
Adobe help was anything but helpful.

Hopefully someone here can help me.
Please describe in detail the exact actions and things i need to do to make this happen.
For example, someone told me to download stuffit expander. OK, THEN WHAT? I'm not really smart when it comes to computers.

I have spent a good part of a week trying different things but keep getting the same results.
I am getting frustrated. I even re-installed the Mac OS to see if it would help.

look forward to a reply.
