I think applemaz pretty much summed up all your options. I used to use Retrospect on Panther, but it doesn't work on tiger (which is a pity, coz it rocks!). You wouldn't believe how many hours I spent trying to get things going in Tiger. There is an update for Retrospect to allow it to...

SOunds like you are referring to the Metronome, or whatever it's called in Garageband. I'm not at my Mac at the moment so I can't check, but Garagrband has a feature that is on by default which gives you tick sounds while you record, to aid you in timing your music to the BPM. You can turn...

63 GB! And here I was bragging to everyone about my 10GB collection! I'm not sure that replacing the mini alltogether was the best idea, especially when the Nano doesnt have the colour options that the mini does. I think that was one of the biggest selling points. I personally prefer the...

Good evening everyone, I'm sure anyone who uses Premiere is aware that it crashes under Tiger when exporting, and was just wondering if anyone has found a workaround/update to fix it? I've searched high and low on the Net and forums and can't seem to find an answer. Apple's list of...

thanks fryke, great advice! Good to know there is someone as anal as I am...

I erase and install OS X once every couple of months. It's a habit I've picked up from WinXP (i'm a bit obsessive compulsive about having a clean system). Anyway, I don't mind doing it, but would like to not have to re-install the billions of apps/utilities everytime I do. If I were to...

UPDATE: Just installed 10.4.2 Update Combo and the connection has sped up to close to full speed (speed tester says I'm getting a 45k transfer rate out of a possible ~55k), although general surfing feels slightly slower than that, could be in my head though. Should have waited until I...

I don't really have any ideas, but thought you might like to know the exact same thing has just happened to me tonight. I came across your post while trying to find an answer. My imac G5's 512k broadband connection over wireless has slowed to 33.6k modem speed (no joke). My iBook (using it...

I find wireless mice are frustrating for anything requiring precision, like graphic design or computer games. I've only ever used a Microsoft wireless optical on WinXP, bought about 1.5 yrs ago, so maybe theyve gotten better since then. I just find there is a *slight* delay between physical...

I've been looking into it just today. Got very put off by the Belkin when I read these reviews: http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/oid/72680/rpem/ccd/productDetailReview.do almost *everyone* said it died after a month, which is pretty bad. Of course, maybe it's just that only the customers...

True, but I really want to avoid all that hassle if it isn't necessary. I have an update that seems to indicate that its the DVD-R media. I tried burning the same data onto a verbatim DVD-RW at 2x and it worked. I then tried copying the files onto a TDK DVD-R (same brand that failed the...

Hello everyone! I bought by iMac G5 w/superdrive many months ago. The first time I tried burning a DVD I came across the error (see attachment). However, just when I was going to return the Mac and replace the drive, I tried to burn something else, and it worked. I put it down to crappy DVDs...

lol sirstaunch, I'm a stupid man, no doubt, but I'm not that stupid! That's a George Bush level of stupidity, I'm at more of a George Costanza level ;) Sounds fair enough Mikuro. It's a little annoying, but not a huge deal; the fact that I can queue things makes up for the speed factor...

I'd sooner die than delete those files! 3,000 songs, each with their own rating...I could never be bothered going though that again lol! I think I'll stick with iTunes 4.8 to be sure that won't ever be necessary!

Hello everyone! I encode a lot of video to MPEG-2, and up until now I have been using Quicktime Pro to do so. I have found it consistently takes around 2 hours to complete encoding a 40 minute video to MPEG-2. So I recently got Cleaner 6, thinking this would be a more efficient way...

Am I the only one getting really frustrated with applications adding folders to the Documents folder? I just finished doing a fresh install of OS X and opened my Docs folder to add my folders only to find - to my horror - four extra folders: "AdobeStockPhotos" and "Updater" from AdobeCS...

oooOOooOoo hey thanx for bringing that up DonReactor, and for the response smithy. I, too, have wondered about why my Mac handles Flash much worse than my PC, even though it is much faster. That makes sense, I suppose, but a bit of a poo! Hopefully something that changes in the future.

nope, 'fraid not. :( It's a pitty, I assumed this feature would be included in an iPod, Apple is usually very good at thinking of everything. Perhaps on a later model (maybe iPod Photo even?) Your only option is to join the tracks you want to export to iPod as one long song with crossfade...

I'm looking for a simple, ~$100 application as an alternative to MS Publisher. Yea I know - I hate Publisher too, but this is for my mother who has only recently switched to Macs and has very limited computer knowledge. She uses Publisher a lot for her grade 2-3 students she teaches. How...

poo. fine, i'll wait! lol, thanx for the info :)
