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.6/16/10

Hi Gary I have a couple of questions for you.
Is the keychain encrypted? If not, what would be an easy way to encrypt the keychain to prevent anyone from retrieving all of the passwords that you use for various accounts such as Amazon and mail?

I’m doing volunteer video editing for an oral history project, but the files I received are .vob, and iMovie won’t import them the usual way. I’ve had no luck finding a free converter that works on my computer. Any ideas?

Hi Gary,
This is the second time I am writing to you. I had a problem with the way Mac copied files on the Pen Drive. I used Blue Harvest as you suggested and that is sorted.
