The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.7/13/10

There is talk that the new Office for Mac will arrive this year. Apparently Entourage will be replaced by a version of Outlook for Mac.
If so will it easily and painlessly import all my old Hotmail emails into Mail??

To Gary and co.,
Does anyone know if it is possible to crop a movie the same way that you’d crop a photograph like you’d do in iPhoto or Photoshop?
Preferably, in iMovie 09.
Thanks,
Andre

Hi Gary,
I have an .mvi file that needs to be rotated. I can’t find the editing options that are available to photos.
Is it possible to do this and not have to tilt my head sideways to view the movie?
I have this on my MacBook Pro.
Thanks,
Janet
