I have to convert up to 309 individual 33.6mb files to a .tod is there a faster way of doing this?
I'm changing the files one at a time by "file info"-"Name" and adding .tod but this will take to long, I'm only just learning on my imac, so I don't know all the short cuts yet.
Thanks heaps

There are lots of free file renaming utilities that will change just the extension for you. Here's a couple:

Download Rename for Mac - Simple file rename application. MacUpdate.com
Download NameChanger for Mac - Batch file renaming tool. MacUpdate.com


Standing request for all troubleshooting: Please provide your Mac model/year and OS version. Also advise us if you have used or installed any antivirus, security, or "cleaning" software on your Mac. If you have installed MacKeeper in particular, you are hereby advised to uninstall it.

If all else fails to fix your problem, read this tip.
