Thanks. I'm pursuing the suggestions. Comcast doesn't have Anyplay here. The other youtube ad may be a scam. What do you think?
My work has been interrupted because last night my keyboard stopped writing on the screen. It happened after I downloaded and tried to use better touch tool to make the magic mouse more useful. At first the mouse wouldn't connect, but now it does. I changed the batteries in th mouse and now it connects. The bluetooth program says that both the mouse and the apple wireless keyboard are connected. Preferences, keyboard says the keyboard battery level is 100%. When I click on setup bluetooth keyboard, it searches and replies that no keyboard is found.
I've trashed the better touch program. When I try to trash the better touch download, I'm told that it can't be done because the program is running. The force quit window, however, says that finder is the only program it knows it's running.
Can you or someone else help me with this. I won't be at the computer again until this evening, though I'll have the iPad with me.
Thanks you.

10.7.3. I'll try these suggestions tonight. Thank you.

How do you totally shut down the computer? How do you get to the library? So it seems likely that the program I downloaded and fiddled with is causing the problem?

Thank you very much; I can now type after shutting the computer down and then restarting it. Great relief. I did unhide the library. Any reason not keep it visible?
Connecting the mac and the cable box as shown in the first youtube video seems like it would be a good solution. He says that two software programs are necessary: VLC and AV/C. It looks as if I can download VLC. In order to get AV/C, I followed the instructions to sign up as an apple developer and under firewire developer tools I downloaded firewiresdk. The READ ME that accompanies it does mention AV/C, but I can't see how to find the program.

What about the AV/C program?

Which of the VLC programs should I download? 64 or 32 bit or 64/32 or power pc. Does the mactv pro program look legitimate?

Which of the VLC programs should I download? 64 bit or 32 bit or 64/32 or power pc? What about the MacTV Pro? Could it be legitimate?

Please be assured that I consider your help invaluable. If you can answer the last question, I'd appreciate it. But I could always invest a the dollars in that program and see for myself.

I tried to send a $60 bonus through pay pal. I only got a receipt for $2! Let me know If it won't get to you through pay pal. And I'm unsure if $60 is adequate. Let me know.
