I purchased and downloaded the new Carl Cox album (from the iTunes store) which is actually a continuous mix of 15 or so songs rather than an album with gaps between songs. However, despite setting Gap Between Songs = 0 seconds in the Preferences/Options within iTunes, the burnt CD actually...

Thanks for your advice, but unfortunately I have tried mounting / unmounting within Disk Utility - it doesn't seem to cause any problems (i.e. no error messages) but I still don't get an icon in the Finder or on the desktop. The Lacie guy who wrote back to me suggested one final thing which...

Hello. Thanks for the reply / help. However, even though the Drive shows up in the System Profiler correctly, (and is recognised in Disk Utility) I get no icon on the desktop nor in the Finder, and therefore no visibility of the files on the drive. The drive also shows up (incorrectly) as...

Unfortunately it seems that my d2 was actually connected to my Powerbook during a simple upgrade to Tiger 10.4 which apparently causes problems in Tiger - i.e. it simply does not mount. The Lacie drive appears correctly in Disk Utility, but not on the desktop or in the finder. Does anybody...

I have just purchased a Canon IP8500, and installed the latest version of the drivers from the Canon website. From the Canon Utility, I was able to print the Test Pattern okay with the printer connected to my powerbook via USB - i.e. the printer is recognised. However, when setting up the...

From the following two software packages, which, in your opinion will be the best value for money for someone starting out in Video Editing (but who wants advanced features not found in iMovie?): - Avid Xpress DV 4.0 or Final Cut Express 2 ?

I will shortly receive my new Panasonic mini-DV camera (NV-GS400), and was looking into editing software for my Mac Powerbook which I intend to buy over the next few months (or around Christmas....if Santa is nice to me...!). - I have been using iMovie 4 as a start and was happy with the...

Good morning. I have a Mustek 1200 USB flatbed scanner which I purchased several years ago (when I had a Windows PC - yikes!). As far as scanners go, I am happy with the quality (for my needs) and do not really want to buy another because it works fine. However, now that I have a Powerbook...

Due to a forthcoming "upgrade" of Stylus to Stylus RMX, I am trying to free up a few Gigabytes from my main Powerbook Harddrive before doing a full installation of this extensive software. Most of the audio work I do is on the external drives, but I notice that over the last couple of years...

Okay. Thanks everyone. I went to a local store (here in France) and I checked out the options/features. The guy in the shop seemed surprised to hear me insist on the firewire interface, but eventually he found the DV out on the Panasonic model I was interested in (NVGS400 - well, that's the...

Thanks for the advice. However, how regularly is this 'compatible devices' list updated? Or, specifically, where can I find out if the following are compatible: SONY HC-1000 PANASONIC NVGS-400 These are my preferred 'possible purchase' options. I have checked the manufacturer's...

I am hoping to buy a mini-DV Camera soon, but note that most come bundled with a USB 2.0 cable. Since I will primarily be working on my Powerbook (USB 1.0 and firewire ports only), should I be looking for a specific camera (that has a firewire cable) or is it not really an issue?

I keep getting this 'keychain' message also, which is a bit annoying, but having said that I only get the message once per session if I proceed as follows: Contrary to inputting any password, I just click OK and I can quite happily continue with what I was doing. Nevertheless, apart from...

I have G4 Powerbook and an Airport Express. Normally, one would wirelessly access the internet via an ADSL modem connected to the ethernet port of the Airport Express, and the corresponding connection made from the modem to my Powerbook. However, in some cases, I use the Powerbook at a...

Hello. I have just bought a d2 lacie 160GB drive. I would like to 'organise' my music, photos etc., into folders (similar to the way Panther shows the folders in the finder window). However, whilst I have manually created the folders, how can I change or assign the icons? Do I have to live...
