Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I've created a nifty slide show for the local Otter Lake church's 100th anniversary basically composed of a bunch of photos and church type piano music in the background. I have created this on a Windows platform, and the firehouse where it will play is on Mac of course. What format should I save it in? Will it run if I save it on a flash drive? Should I just see if they can hook up my laptop to their setup?
I've never actually done this before, but I am the person in town who "knows computer stuff", so you know how that goes. The choices in the software I am using are AVI, WMV, FLV, MP4, and MKV.
The Mac should be able to play an MP4 with no issues.
Great! That is one of the formats I used. Thank you.
I was sent a .BIN file ... I have no idea how to open or read it or do anything with it. I tried searching and it seems to be an outdated ... something. This was a file that was supposed to be a PDF - one of a bunch that were sent out and returned as PDFs and came with a different PDF. Any suggestions?
I cannot send a microsoft word file either from word or from gmail on my Mac. From word I'm getting this error message: Your default mail client Google Chrome doesn't support attachments. And from gmail Word attachments aren't even showing up as an option. This has never happened before. Help, before I throw my computer out the window.
Where is the .docx file saved? The desktop, or somewhere else?
Using Chrome, once you are signed in to mail.google.com, after you click the Compose button you should get a New Message pop-up window. What happens when you then click the Attach File icon (looks like a paperclip)? I get a dialog box that lets me navigate to whatever file location I want.

I get all that but none of my word documents are an option anymore. I gave up and sent it as an attachment from my phone without a problem, but I'm still really annoyed. It's saved to my one drive.
That *is* weird. We don't have Word installed on the Mac I have access to at work, but I used TextEdit to create a quick test file, saved it as .docx, and it showed up in the Attach File dialog just fine.
Updating to Win11. Wish me luck.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
