You could also try WireTap... I believe it takes the output from the sound card (real audio streaming music) and records it as MP3.

Switch off the OS while reading the book and if it can not be done then simply clean the fan and blow inside the system. Every thing will be fine.

Just to clarify my title - I'm meaning official branded cases bought from websites other than the official stores( i.e. A switcheasy case bought off eBay instead of from Switchwasy.com).
I've bought countless branded cases from non-official sites and it seems that the quality of these cases is not always 100%. By this I mean, the 2 latest purchases were : a switcheasy trim that didn't seem to fit properly (it squeaked) and an SGP Linear case that also seems to squeak around the edges.
Are branded cases like this, the ones that fail the quality control at the official stores and then sold off to whoever and then these are then sold at cheaper prices at non- official stores (eBay, Amazon, etc)?
The reason I ask is because EVERY case I have ever bought in these circumstances have ALL had some kind of fitment issue?!

Thanks Carlgo but the problem was not Quick Preview. As mentioned in my first post, that was not on.
I have done a second 'Repair Database' and this solved the problem.
You can do this by holding down 'Alt' and 'Cmd" and then clicking on the Aperture icon. Choose the 'Repair Database' option.

What plug to you have on the end of the air? If you're not using the 3 prong one, you're not grounded. That might be the source of your noice, if the usb box is usb powered.
What's truly bizarre is I get this whether or not the Air is plugged into AC or running on battery so it isn't about a grounded plug.

if you shot a lot on Hi8 you might considering a cheap Digital8 camera, it has FireWire(DV) out and you can use it to playback older analog tapes and capture them trough FireWire(DV) without any problem
if you didn't shot anything in Hi8 yet... go for the more spread miniDV
or indeed an analog tranformer, but I don't know the good ones, but I think you might recon +400 EURO (541,68 USD) for one of those...

My first suggestion is to get a hold of a mini DVI to HDMI adapter and see if that port is affected as well.
If that doesn't work, try booting from your boot disc and or/resetting your PRAM.
Now that I think more about it, I do not even know how valuable resetting the PRAM is anymore these days. It doesn't have the same impact it used to.
I have a Mac Mini mid-2009 model, and I bought a Mini-display port to HDMI adapter to hook it up to my LED TV. I have used it over more than a year with XBMC with no problem.
Now, yesterday I unplugged the Mini-Display to HDMI adapter from my Mini because I needed the adapter for a presentation on my Macbook Pro.
Now when I returned home and plugged everything back as it original was, the HDMI output stopped working! TV says No Signal. I checked with different HDMI inputs on my TV. none worked.
I hook up my Macbook Pro with the cable and it works.. So is my Mac Mini suddenly broken!?

I played through the entrie PS3 version of Dragon Age : Origins.
The framerate is choppy and especially through cut scenes. The updates didn't improve performance and there was a thread over on bioware's forum demadning a performance patch. It never materialised.
I choose PS3 version for the better textures, but admit there was plenty of occasions when the frame rate dropped down to 10-20fps that i would have gladly traded textures for smooth gameplay.
Having played the demo of the sequel on both 360 and ps3 version of the sequel, I'm going for the 360 version as it again seems smoother and visually they look identical this time round other than framerate.

It is very unlike Apple to have any non-Apple logos on their devices. When they started using Intel chips, they never had an "Intel Inside" sticker. They also never had an AT&T logo on their iPhones and do not have Verizon logo on their newer iPhones.
Thankful for that! I just find the plastering of stickers and logos, typical of PC and linux boxes, very distasteful.
I agree!!

I have about 80gigs left on my Macbook Pro, but I have about 100gigs of raw footage that needs to be edited. I tried putting them on an external hard drive and importing direct from there, but FCP doesn't even recognize that the hard drive is in there. It is FAT formatted and everything.
If FCP has to access it, the external HDD has to be formatted with "Mac OS Extended (HFS+)", as FAT32 is not supported by FCP and even has a file size limit of 4GB (per file).
Original raw footage is 30 minutes and 30gigs large. I took a 15 second snippet and it was an estimated 4gigs. The math just doesn't add up here.
It adds up, as your "RAW" footage is probably using H264 or another MPEG-4 codec to store the video, and FCP wants its footage in either ProRes (can be 100GB for one hour of HD video) or Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC - up to 50GB for one hour of HD footage).
Therefore get another external FW800 HDD (if you have FW800 on your Mac), which you can safely format in "HFS+" via Disk Utility, or format your existing external HDD with "HFS+", if possible as formatting will erase the contents of the HDD.
Maybe you can partition it though.

Thanks a lot for your answers! I will use it to write, watch movies and videos, internet, but I would like a desktop which could last long. And, of course, I would like a powerful machine... ;-)
As for Ram: if I don't buy them from Apple, is it easy to add them? Is there place to add 4 Gb or I have to buy 8Gb and replace the Apple ones?
Thanks again!

There are workarounds but the easiest for me is to use the 3rd party software. imtoo or xilisoft.

Not a dig at OP. Each to their own. But I feel nowerdays, that people worry more about the way things look, rather than how they work. I open my MBP, and I use it. Yes it's a bonus to have a nice design, yes it's a bonus to have nice logo's. But at the end of the day, I use the machine for the power. Not to keep it like a show home ( or show laptop :p ) But that's just how I feel. But thanks for the post, I'm a user of Chrome, but the logo is not something I'll change. But good post for other users :)

Nope... it isn't that one. I actually have that song already.
Sorry, I can't remember any more details about it. I was just hoping that someone might have recently seen the commercial and it would pop into their head. I'll just have to keep my eyes open for the commercial again.

Yes, I say reformatting in reference to virus....
I'm not sure what you mean by this. There has never been a virus in the wild that affects Mac OS X since it was released 10 years ago. The handful of trojans that exist can be easily avoided with some education and common sense and care in what software you install:
