NEW! Member Map

Have to admit, I see everything well (the map that is) in Opera and FireFox....but not IE6.

IE7 is meant to be better (as some at work abide by it), has anyone got IE7 and have the same issues as with IE6?
 
Well, we all know that FireFox works where IE fails  :rolleyes:

On a side note (and not particularly connected with this thread), I'm having problems with some quicktime plugins on FireFox.  Whenever I try and play something musical that uses Quicktime (f.e. This lesson by clicking the speaker buton), I get an error message.  When I try to 'Find Missing Plugins', it can't install Quicktime.  And the strange thing is this-I do have Quicktime on my computer.  I think that it might be something to do with the configuration of either Quicktime or FireFox (or both :help:), but can someone help me sort this please?  I know this isn't technically forum help or help with this map, but since you're all technically proficient on this forum, I'm sure you can help me. :D
 
First of all, Silky, Quicktime is for fascists. You shouldn't install it at all. Ever. Apple forces you to download and install iTunes with it, which is completely retarded. The older versions of Quicktime were alright for functionality, but the new one is unstable and is getting to be quite redundant considering what free programs like Windows Media and  DivX can do.

As for not being able to view the map with IE, try using Google maps. It's basically the same program. If Google maps doesn't work either, than it's a problem with your browser. If it does, then there's some setting at your end you need to tweak to use the map on this site.
 
Duke he says he already has quicktime, so the warning was for naught (not to mention you flat out lie about having to install iTunes with it... *sigh* you can't trust Canucks. It is definately a configuration problem, you probably have the plugin turned off/disabled... how did it all turn out anyway?
 
Dude, when i try to download QuickTime from the official website, it forces me to take iTunes up the rearend too.
 
There is still available the older versions of QuickTime, if you need it.
 
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html that is the official website... there is no packaging or "hidden" software, it's Apple, not spyware, at any rate Albie is right, you can still get older versions and they work just as well. also to all Windows users (pratically everyone in here) DON'T use iTunes, the Windows version SUCKS, it is but a shadow compared to the Apple original program. Now if you have an iPod oh well, I feel sorry for you, just keep your files as Mp3s (AAC or Mpeg4 is Apple ONLY and you can't burn MP3 cds if files are in this format... it flat out creates a lot of headaches).
 
Onhell, I use Windows and have no problems with AAC or mp4 files.  I can also easily burn discs with mp3s on them.
 
conor, it is impossible to burn MP3 cd's of Mpeg4 files... you can CONVERT THEM to mp3 AND THEN burn a mp3 cd... And it's good to hear you have no real problems with them, I was just saying that they are a hassle because they are not what Apple made them up to be, they don't save up that much space, sound quality suffers instead of being enhanced and again, they can only be used on iTunes and nothing else.

You're right Onhell. The only way to get these onto an MP3 CD is to first burn them to a normal CD-Audio, rip this CD into an MP3 format, burn the resulting MP3's to an MP3 CD.
 
You are working to hard Albie :) I forget if iTunes for windows has this feature or is it partly why it sucks, but on the Apple version it is as simple as going to preferences, in the import options select "Mp3", then go back to your library, select the files, go to the "Advance" Menu and select "Convert files to Mp3."

Now you have two copies of the song (when it finishes converting you can delete the other files since they are still selected) taking up more space which is what you wanted to avoid to begin with, which is one of the reasons I was trying to point out why AAC... is WORTHLESS.
 
There are plenty of freeware applications that can be used to convert these files with windows ;)
 
But correct me if I'm wrong here (it has been a while since I used iTunes and purchased some music from them), is it not impossible to convert a digitally protected track - whether it be in Mpeg4 format (or whatever iTunesTunes use) or WMA, etc.?
 
Oh, I get you now!

I never buy stuff from iTunes... I just use it to rip songs from my purchased cds because it is the best (IMO) at sorting them etc.  I rip them into mp3 format and after that, I can do whatever I want with them ;)
 
In fairness, I think we all may be talking cross purposes here. Onhell is talking from an existing Mpeg4 file - not protected (I believe), Conor as above and me from the experience of paying for tracks from iTunes.
 
That's a good question Albie... I've only purchased a couple of songs from iTunes and it was before their AAC format was in place. However, if it was purchased with iTunes it should still be able to be converted because it would be cheating the consumer. now riping it from a cd onto iTunes might be different since it might not even load it. Isn't that what digitally protected cd's do? prevent riping and burning?
