    Why do you place every single app in your dock?

    I use Key Xing to launch my most used apps. I added the applications folder to my Apple Menu using Fruit Menu, which lets me easily navigate to any app I have. This way my dock gives me a clear picture of exactly what I've got running (those litttle triangles under the running apps in the dock...

    Alphabetical Order & Special Characters

    When using a special character ($, #, *, etc.) at the beginning of a file name, just about any will send the item to the top of a column when sorted alphbetically. I am trying to find some that will send the item to the bottom of the column (Besides ZZZ). I'd also like to know if there are any...

    Convert iTunes Library to AAC

    I have found a couple of albums that didn't replace. Some I had changed the id3 tag info for the album (i.e., deleted the word import) but could not figure out why a few didn't. Most of them are sucessfully replacing though, making it a hell of alot easier. It's really strange to add CD's and...

    Convert iTunes Library to AAC

    I have started my CD ripping project over, this time to AAC, and I was really surprised at how easy it was. iTunes recognizes when a CD has already been imported and asks if you want to replace the current library tracks with the newly imported ones, keeping all tag information in tact. Very...

    OS9 on a NEW G4

    I have a new Dual Processor G4 and I have deleted my OS9 sytem folder that came pre-installed. As I understand it, I can't start this machine up on under OS9 but I can run Classic. How then can I re-install classic, since the install disk only runs under Classic, which I no longer have installed???

    Installing Classic Mode

    Yes, Can't start from CD. So far as I know the newer generation of g4's, which I have, will not start-up under OS9 at all, but will run classic under OSX. That said, how do i get it back?

    Convert iTunes Library to AAC

    This just kills me ... I have a HUGE Mp3 library (Over 25 Gigs) and about 3 days ago I started copying the approx 200+ CD I have left to Mp3 to complete my migration to the digital music world. My thinking was that I would eventually convert my entire music library to AAC, so i didn't worry...

    Installing Classic Mode

    I have kinda the same issue. I have a new duel processor g4 and I was having problems installing some HP printer software and long story short, trashed my OS9 System folder with the intention of re-installing it. Problem being, my new G4 won't start-up in OS9 and the OS9 install disk is written...

    iTunes 4

    I'd like to see the option to switch from burning Mp3 to Audio move to a more convienient location. I can't count the number of times I meant to burnan audio CD, only to discover that my prefs are still switched from the last time I burned an Mp3 CD. (F-Word!) I'd also like to be able to...

    has anyone tried the iTrip already?

    When making your next car stereo purchase, look for a stereo with auxiliary input. I put an Mp3 compatible CD player (plays Mp3 encoded CD's) in my wife's car and just by dumb luck (and the fact that there were only 2 brands available at the time) I choose a model with an input port (8-mm) on...

    has anyone tried the iTrip already?

    I played with iTrip at MWSF 2003 for about an hour, experimenting with both range (about 25 feet) and different stations (some came in alot better than others). And even with the overpowering amout of frequency activities swirling around the expo floor (I couldn't get the Kensington Studio Mouse...
