Can anyone tell me a way to burn iTunes Music Store files to audio CD without iTunes? (Since iTombs will no longer burn CD's for me.) I can burn .aiff files to audio CD with an app called Laze E XJ. I have not been able to find a way to convert these files to .aiff. Right now the only answer...

Restart. Zap PRAM. Try a different disc. It doesn't matter: "The device drained its buffer without burn underrun protection." That's after dozens of successful burns. I can't believe a problem this widespread is just being swept under the rug. They might as well add: "You are now free...

I was not able to get the file to download with Safari or IE. I seemed to have a vague recollection of having download problems with HP before. On a whim I tried Omniweb and got the file right away. I have installed the new driver and it is marginally better on the first try. This HP just...

Although I'm still trying to determine just what this utility will do, so far it hasn't found anything wrong. HP has "released" a new driver in the last 10 days for the Photosmart 1215. However, there is no mention of what it fixes and I am completely unable to download it. Intuition tells me...

I recently did exactly the same thing. I haven't even installed the new one yet. Now a 1Ghz G4 is available? Phooey, bad timing again! :o

My hp photosmart 1215 printer has always been an attention hog but it seems to be getting worse. It takes me anywhere from 7 to 20 minutes to print a single page, even if it's just a 1 page, all text Word document. Worst of all, during this print interval I am pretty well locked up in the...

To me it looks like the date is 1-26-04. The 26th is on a Monday, which could be significant if this is a clue about a product announcement. Monday would be a more likely day for a release than Saturday. But maybe my eyesight is playing games with me.

My problem with the iTombs Music Store is that I no longer have any reason to go there. NOW THAT ITOMBS 4.2 HAS TURNED MY CD BURNER INTO A WORTHLESS PILE OF CRAP!!!!!! Does anyone know the procedure for dumping iTunes 4.2 in favor of version 3.x?

Anyone found a solution to this yet? I can't even burn a disc at 1X with iTombs 4.2

Sub-$1000 eMacs are already plentiful. I believe the G4 iMacs 15" (assuming a G5 iMac is announced) would then dip <$1000.

This guess is based partly on hope and partly on observation of what Apple and resellers have been doing with prices and inventory over the past couple of months. I have money burning in my pocket for a new system and have been waiting for the next product announcement. Since systems news was...

At this point I am not going to make a decision until after next week's MacWorld Expo, just in case there is an announcement that will influence my decision. However, it is almost certain that my buy will be a PowerMac. (But not a DP G5.) Although I concede that the iMac is a spiffy machine, I...

99.9% of people don't need an SUV either, or a Lexus. But five years from now who is gonna be sittin' pretty, the Cavalier w/125,000 miles or the RX 300? Sometimes marketing people are just shooting themselves in the foot. As long as the curve keeps turning toward bigger-faster-better...

"One thing to remember, that many people forget, the PowerMac line is not designed for home users, it's designed for business use, and is full of the features most business users want. It's price also reflects it being for business use. The iMac was designed to do what 99% of home users want to...

Actually that is true except that I intend to get a miniDV very soon. I use Quicktime Pro on occasion and have tried to use iMovie. That experience was the straw that broke the camel's back for getting a new machine. If even a good single processor w/ lots of RAM & a large HD can handle DV &...

I am tickled to death that my B & W G3 has served me so well for nearly 5 years. Now it's finally time to buckle down and acquire some more horsepower. I hope that my next purchase takes me as far as the last. My question is this: "When do dual processors really begin to pay off?" The apps...

Just to clarify, I already have the v.X upgrade on the G3. I just want to be sure it can be installed on an "OS X only" machine. Maybe I'm not understanding what is meant by OS X only. Does this mean that the machine will still run classic, but not boot up in OS 9 as the default???

I am considering getting a new Mac to ease the burden on my aging G3. Since many of the new models are OS X only, I have some puzzles about how to install some of my software (or IF I can). Specifically, how will I be able to install Office v.X that is an upgrade from a classic-only version of...

Find the freeware application AquaFix. I believe I got it from VersionTracker. That will restore Aqua settings. Think twice before using themes again. I ran into all kinds of headaches after I upgraded from 10.2.3 to 10.2.4. I decided they are just not worth it.

Okay, I finally figured it out. For my set-up here's how it worked: When I insert a blank CD-R an "untitled CD" icon does appear on the desktop. A prompt also appears asking to name the CD and take an action. DO NOT choose "Open Disk Copy", instead choose "Open Finder". Then you can drag...
