What kind of movie file is it listed as? .MOV, .MPEG, .WMV, .AVI, you should be able to find it if you go.
I-movie,
open existing project,
i-tunes,
(select movie)

If that doesnt work, try putting a copy of the movie on your desktop, then drag and drop into your clips on a new Imovie project.

I believe movies/video downloaded off of iTunes is in MPEG-4 format.

What about burning them to a cd and then try dragging them from the disc directly to iMovie?

I just ordered a new Dell xps m1530 and I have a wireless N network router at home and I got a wireless g card for the computer and im just curious about how much better it may be if I got a wireless N card for the computer.

I had a question concerning The Orange Box. When I first installed it, it told me I had to update my video card drivers. No problem, right? I can play Portal and Team Fortress 2 just fine, but randomly when I try to play Half Life 2 I'll play for about...a minute or so, and then the screen will go black, sound will skip, and I'll have to restart my computer. One time this happened, I briefly got a glimpse of the desktop and an error had appeared saying something about my video card drivers encountering an error. No specifics although, like I said, it was just a quick glimpse and I don't remember if there could have been anything more than that.

Anybody have any ideas? I've been tearing my hair out over it for the last two days.

Did you update your video card drivers when it told you to?

What model video card do you have?

And AJ, you'd be able to transfer files more rapidly between your computer and other computers on the network; however, your wireless router already transmits data much faster than your internet connection does (assuming you're not on dialup), even with an 802.11b card, so you wouldn't see much performance increase for anything using the interne by buying a new card.

Hello good people!
Our family computer has recently been stricken with a bout of viruses. Every 5 minutes or so we get large full page popups, and little balloons on the windows bar telling us our computer is infected with spyware. I've run a ton of McAfee scans and anitivirus scans and tried to delete any suspicious programs, but the problems still persist. Any ideas/programs I could use to clean out our computer for good?

Thanks!
John

Possibly, you could back up the computer to the day before you got the virus, then again what do I know.

Yep. Spybot: Search and Destroy is some good stuff, I'll give them that.

Since the Bit Torrent thread was locked, I've wandered here to ask for help. This is just a basic question and has nothing to do with illegal material. During a transfer, does your computer have to be turned on, or is the data still flowing through your modem when the computer itself is off?

With your computer off the data has no where to go... so unless Bit Torrent has magic code, then you probably have to keep it on to finish the transfer.

Yes your computer needs to stay on for the download to finish. Usually if I'm downloading something off of there, I just leave my computer on overnight and hopefully it's finished when I wake up.

Yes, your computer has to be on to receive or send data. Your monitor, however, does not. So you can turn the screen off if you're downloading overnight and want to be able to sleep, as long as the computer itself stays on.

My Macbook power cable is just about worn out, It works on and off, and appears to be melting at the magnetic connector. Anybody know how to replace that piece (which disconnects from the power box and the wall-attachment part of the cable) without buying a whole new one for $80?

I really need some help. I got Xbox LIve yesterday, and it was seeming to work fine. I was having a team battle with a freind , we will call him Austin, and it worked fine. So today I tryed to have another with a different friend ,we will call him Bob. But I couldn't play with Bob, but I could with anyone else. Bob could also play with other people, except me. So only me and him can not play a game with each other. When I sent an invite, it says that the NAT settings are not compattible. Someone please help me. Thanks.

I think I got it fixed, but if it doesn't work, it is only 1 or 2 players I can't connect to so it is no big deal. Thanks Firespray. I have one more question though, when I try to take screenshots in the theater and I try to connect to some of my friends custom games, it says that a person is not alowed to view custom things. So, do I have to change a setting in the family settings or is it someting else. Basically, I can not view custom things. Help is appreciated. Sorry for all the questions, but I just got it and am not the best tech person.

Here's the problem. From what I can tell, it's not uncommon for the cable to fray and melt.

I've had my laptop since October 2006. The cable separates into two pieces; the AC plug part can be separated at the power box on the cable, which is attached to the magnetic attachment part.
Like this.

They charge $80 for a replacement cable. I guess I'll have to go to the apple store tomorrow and see what they can do.

I suppose this qualifies as tech, since it's the internet (and didn't want to get my head bitten off over a new thread):

I'm on amazon, trying to spend some cash from an X-Mas return. To maximize my purchasing power (and because I'm cheap), I ordered from a re-seller shop, but for some reason, it wants to ship all the items, from just one seller, separately, making the shipping more than the items themselves.

So, how can I merge the shipping on these rather than get six packages from the same guy?
