    Cannot compress DVD small enough to fit!?

    What version of Toast are you usng. Toast V 7.01 compresses the file to fit on a blank DVD-R. There is also DVD2OneX which offers more than Toast and does an excellent job. Unless you are using dual (double) layer blanks, you have to use a compression program to reduce the size of the VideoTS...

    I have Toast V 7.01 running on my Dual 2gig G5 with no problems whatsoever. Do you have the latest version? If not, I would suggest that you update immediately. Check out Roxio's Toast forum also. A lot of knowledgeable people there. Hope this helps.

    There is a shareware program - WMV Player - which plays WMV files in Quicktime. Do a search on Versiontracker for it. I bought it yesterday for $9.99 and it does a great job. Hope this helps. :)

    How to setup OSX on external drive?

    I have my entire iTunes library (100+ Gigs) on 2 external HD's (one is a backup). You just have to set the iTunes preferences to look for the library on the external drive. I would imagine the same would be true of iPhoto.

    Epson R200 Printer

    I bought the printer in January of this year, and I do a lot of printing - cd's, dvd's, photos etc. I have to use compatible ink cartridges as the cost of the epson cartridges would bankrupt me. There must be some way that one can replace the ink pads without having to take it to a service...

    Epson R200 Printer

    I just took the printer to an authorized Epson repair center, and sure enough, it was the ink pads causing the problem. Apparently, when the pads are saturated with excess ink, the machine becomes inoperable and the pads need to be replaced. This is not covered under the warranty. I approved the...

    Epson R200 Printer

    After using the Printer Setup Utility and deleting the p-list for the printer, the utility gave me a message that parts in the printer had reached the end of life status and need to be replaced. Guess I'll take it into the shop for warranty repairs. Thanks for the suggestion. :(

    I have 2 Epson R200 printers which are not functioning and having the same symptoms. When I power on the printer, the paper and ink lights start flashing alternately and the printer will not work. I have been to the Epson site and have tried all the fixes suggested to no avail. I cannot get...

    Knackered External HD

    Hey riccbhard. No programs have recognized the drive. I even took it to another Mac and got the same no-show, so I know it's not the G5. All my other peripherals are working fine, so it looks as if the drive has failed. I am going to put it in another enclosure to see if it is a problem with the...

    Knackered External HD

    Yesterday I was compressing a ripped dvd from an external FW drive to my MacHD when all of a sudden the process stopped before finishing. On checking my system, I found that the FW HD had disappeared from the desktop. Using System Profiler, I saw that the external casing was listed, but the...

    I have done this twice with 2 different Quicksilvers and have not done a reset of the PRAM - just a straight reset of the PMU. Worked successfully in both instances.

    G4 Quicksilver 733 will not start after power outage

    It is the Power Management Unit and is located on the motherboard (?) next to the battery. To reset it, you unplug the computer from the power source, open the side and you will find it just next to the battery. Press it once, and only once, and this will reset the power. There is a page on it...

    G4 Quicksilver 733 will not start after power outage

    My sister went to work yesterday and left her Quicksilver 733 G4 on. Apparently there was a power outage in the area during the day. She came home and found the Mac off and has not been able to boot it since then. When she presses the power button, it lights up but the Mac will not boot. Is this...

    External Harddrive Help

    I believe your Mac will only recognise 128GB on the hd. That is a limitation with the G3 models. Hope this helps. :(

    iTunes sharing fails over airport

    You have to disable the firewalls. I do not share my iTunes between 2 computers, but I use Airport Express and the Airport Extreme card in my G5 to beam my iTunes library to my stereo in the living room. It works great. Check the Airport forum on the Apple discussion boards. A lot of useful...
