    iTunes and remote volumes

    if itunes fails to find a file, it will mark it with a question mark and not select it when playing songs. it will either skip the song (if you are not shuffling) or not select it for shuffling. There are applications that let you have multiple itunes libraries (check versiontracker.com). Use...

    internal DVD/CD-RW question

    I have a 677MHz G4. I'm pretty hapy with it, but have one major thing that I don't like about it: I can't watch DVDs and the CD-RW drive runs at 8x. I was wondering if anyone had any luck in getting an internal DVD/CD-RW drive to work with iTunes and the Apple DVD player? Thanks.

    Mac laptops cheaper than Dell's offerings?

    you must be thinking compaq... The EDS hardware guy put 3 screens on my (work) compaq in less than 2 years (I barely used the damned thing!). I asked him how he was able to get a replacement screen in such short notice (when he walked in with a new screen in less than 2 hours after I called the...

    Apple switching to Intel, by John C. Dvorak

    not only has this been posted before, dinglenuts (Dvorak) has made this prediction before.... I think he's just looking for free publicity (which he usually gets) and a few steamed mac users (which he also usually gets) :D

    Why Mac?

    If there is an apple store nearby take him there and show him iLife. Nothing out there could touch iMovie or iDVD before the latest upgrade. Now that they are all integrated, nothing out there is in the same league!

    You're favorite shareware apps

    I just downloaded sofa. it really rocks. it displays the album cover for the currently playing song in iTunes. it also acts as an itunes remote, but I assigned the F1-F5 keys to do that via keyboard maestro. in any case, sofa rocks. every time a new song comes up, the sofa window maximizes to...

    Vlc 0.5.2

    I use VLC and think it is great because it does open virtually anything. I do have one question about VLC... Does anyone know if there is a browser plugin for VLC? I'd love to be able to watch embedded avi files from Safari or Camino (I use one at home and the other at work).

    Importing .WMV vidoe clips within iMovie -- How to?

    if you can open them in the quicktime player and then (if you have quicktime pro) export them as DV streams, you should be able to import them into iMovie

    ipod case

    I'm on my third iPod case. I used apple's case until the iPod slipped out of it. After that, I bought one of those skin tight leather cases.... That sucked because it was hard to get the ipod in and out of itand dirt seemed to collect there like crazy. I'm on my third case from Marware. Based on...

    QuarkXPress 6 and Illustrator 11

    don't forget the xtensions. from Darwin ($1000) to Inposition ($1500) through Design Merge ($2500) and many more vertical (and more expensive ones) there can be a lot of money tied up in Quark. not only that, but most of these XTensions do not have InDeisgn equivalents.

    Burning from iPhoto a CD-ROM

    Not altogether sure what the problem is. There are two ways to burn photos from CDs. The way you describe should only be used when sending pictures to another iPhoto user. When sending to windows users (or when burning photos for my DVD player) I just: 1. put the CD-R in the computer, 2. let...

    haxies, docklings, etc. - which are useful?

    I can't live without MenuCalendar - a month-view drop down calendar and my favorite: Menulator - an inline menu calculator - see the calculations in the menu bar and copy the results, then collapse it into an icon with a keyboard shortcut another indispensable one: searchling - keyboard...
