What's the best program to use for zip and rar files?

Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:The Unarchiver.
SnakeXs said:This, with UnRarX if you need to open password protected archives.
Zaraki_Kenpachi said:The unarchiver won't let you open password protected files? That's pretty stupid...
Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:It does, it just fails at it sometimes.
I've had stuffit reliably crash on stuff, especially when trying to extract multiple files at once.Ashhong said:any downsides to using stuffit?
There's something to be said to having a physical book on your lap while you work out computing issues:Guled said:is there a good site out there for new mac/osx users? You know a site that has tips/programs/stuff to try and use for noobs like me

I have the Missing Manual for Tiger and it has a section for those switching from Windows, but I haven't read the other versions.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:Since we're on the topic of that book is there any big difference of the missing manual vs. the missing manual switching from windows? Would you recommend one over the other?

Well that's good to know. Would be a shame if it was limited to 8-bit jpegs.mrkgoo said:I don't know too much about it, but:
From this, it sounds like the check mark essentially makes the saturation bar close too a vibrancy slider, but like I said I don't know much about 'vibrancy'. But like you said, for humans.
It has a check mark for transferring the RAW entirely, and one for making edits as a 16-bit tiff. I assume if you don't have the former checked, but the second one, it might export as a 16-bit Tiff.
For the computer or for the Airport Extreme/Express? That message means it wasn't able to perform a DHCP lookup.404Ender said:Does anyone know of a fix that actually works for the dreaded "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet" network status issue?
So annoying.

Can't say I've ever had that happen to me.404Ender said:The computer. Apparently it's a fairly common problem. Lots of complaints all over the internet, including a bunch of huge threads in Apple's support forums. No official comment from them as far as I know though.
I've only seen this when there actually was a problem with the network.404Ender said:Does anyone know of a fix that actually works for the dreaded "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet" network status issue?

It bumped it up to 3 gbps. What else is there that would "do the job completely"?Ashhong said:quickly before i go search the apple forums, anybody know if the SATA issue was resolved? im looking into buying an SSD drive but not if im going to be limited by apple. i know they sent out a firmware update but not sure it did the job completely

Press spacebar after cmd+shift+4 for windows. (or do you mean Windows?) cmd+shift+3?Zaraki_Kenpachi said:How do you screencap in skype? Apparently there is an actual button for it on windows and I can't find it on mac. Shift+command+4 kind of sucks for screencaps...
giga said:Press spacebar after cmd+shift+4 for windows. (or do you mean Windows?) cmd+shift+3?
Zaraki_Kenpachi said:In windows there is a button on the top of your video screen that says screen capture, I was looking for that in mac... I don't like the built in osx screencap because it usually gets part of the menu that says pause, end call, etc. in the middle of the capture.
quadriplegicjon said:cmd+shift+4 lets you select the specific area..
So this is a problem with skype then? Sorry, don't use that program.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:Ya, but that skype menu is stuck in the middle for a little bit when you go fullscreen which is stuck in the picture which doesn't happen if you do it within skype and not doing a normal osx screenshot. Or that's what I want at least, seems you can't do it though.

FuturusX said:I'm running windows 7 on bootcamp and Fusion on a Macbookpro 3,1. I've tested / installed both 32 bit and 64bit. It takes some doing but it can be done.
The method varies depending on the model you have....

Jimmy Stav said:My desktop is fucked. Certain files just won't move and aren't responsive to my mouse, whereas some are. This seems to happen every couple of weeks.

You can set your wallpaper to change after a fixed period of time. I download all wallpapers I like to one folder and atm it changes every 15 minutes.MrOctober said:I love this thread but I'm a pretty serious OSX noob and a lot of stuff goes straight over my head even when you guys dumb it down. I guess I have to get used to this more than I thought.
Do any of you guys customize your desktops at all? If so what sites do you use and what kind of shit do you do? I get bored very easily with my desktop and like to change things up.
