Bonjour for Windows

Scotty-

We are having issues with our Time Machine.  the light is blinking amber.  Is this because it is erasing older unused back-ups?  It has been doing this for the past 3-4 weeks.

Also, I am looking for a very user friendly screen recording program.  I would like to the video for an upcoming show we have.  I am trying to setup a looping video that displays our website.  Do you know of any programs that work the best.  Would you be interested in helping us with this project?

Thank you,

The amber light on your Time Capsule could be simply because it needs a firmware update. You can view the error or warning in Airport utility. Most of the time, it’s because an update is available. We should be able to solve this in the upcoming session.

There are several great screen recording programs. iShowU is the one I use. iShowU HD - for OSX 10.5 (Leopard) $29
Others include:
Screencasting Software - ScreenFlow Overview - Telestream $99
Snapz Pro X | Ambrosia Software, Inc. $69
TechSmith | Camtasia for Mac, Mac Screen Recorder, Home $99

However, if you’re on Snow Leopard you can now use Quicktime to record your screen. Just not as much customization. We can find what will work best for you.
