I have a Sanyo Xacti 10 MP that records with date and time but when I put the SD card in my Apple laptop and download the videos, the date and time seems to not stay on the videos.
The date and time information may not be embedded in the video file itself, but rather in the metadata of the file. When you transfer the video from your camera to your computer, the metadata may not be transferred along with the video.
To preserve the date and time information on your downloaded videos, you can try the following:
- Use a video player that displays metadata: Some media players, such as VLC media player, allow you to view the metadata of a video file. If the metadata contains the date and time information, you may be able to view it using such a player.
- Transfer the video using a program that preserves metadata: Some file transfer programs, such as Image Capture on Mac, will preserve metadata when transferring files. You may try using such a program to transfer your videos.
- Use a metadata editor to add date and time information: You can try using a metadata editor, such as ExifTool, to add the date and time information to your video files.
It's worth noting that not all video file formats support metadata, so depending on the format of your video files, it may not be possible to preserve the date and time information.

I have a new MacMini 2021 Monterrey O/S. I use Zoom but my Gear Head Webcam F#2 4.8mm is not on or is not connecting? IS it compatible with Apple Monterrey O/S?
It's possible that your Gear Head Webcam F#2 4.8mm is not compatible with the new MacMini 2021 running the Monterrey operating system (macOS Monterey).
The best way to check for compatibility is to visit Gear Head website and check for the compatibility list for the webcam with the MacMini 2021 running the Monterrey operating system. If the webcam is not on the list, it's possible that it may not be compatible with the new operating system.
If the webcam is not compatible with the new operating system, it may not be able to connect to the MacMini or be recognized by the Zoom app.
Alternatively, you can try connecting the webcam to the MacMini using a USB-C adapter and see if that resolves the issue.
You may also want to check if there is any new firmware update available for the webcam or the Zoom app that might resolve the issue.
If the issue still persists, it would be best to contact Gear Head customer support for further assistance and check if there is a way to make the webcam compatible with the new operating system or if there is any other solution that can be provided.
What are my options of cloning from HDD to SSD?
With internal/external hard drives being as low in price as they are, I'd recommend the easiest solution as follows: Buy the SSD you want and an external sled for mounting the drive. Clone your current HDD to the sledded SSD. This would allow you to navigate through to see if there are indeed two partitions on the device.
While not having used it in a few years, there are two apps that I've had success with: Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper! The key in the instance of cloning would be to make sure that your clone is bootable... otherwise, it's a massive exercise in futility!
Hope this info helps!

Hi,
When I download some file
This download window can not exactly be disabled. It is part of safari and shows up to show you your downloads. Problem with this is that a lot of the downloads on a mac disappear from this window as soon as they finish downloading. If you were to download a larger file you would notice that it shows the download while it is being downloaded.
That being said, there is a way to have this window close after a certain delay. SafariStand is an application that should be able to help you with this problem. It does some other things as well you might find interesting. Give it a try to fix your issue though.
How to make my own ipod music from cd?
you first have to rip the contents of the cd to your itunes (or whatever media player you use). then you can move them to your ipod from your music library.
the issue is that when songs are on an audio cd, they're in a particular format (some refer to the format as an "analog" format) that can only be read by cd players and cd drives. so when you add music to your computer, you usually have to change the format of the music to something like "mp3", which is a common digital format that most/all digital media devices (such as your ipod) can read.
